Press Comments on Johnson’s Speech.
New York, March 23. — The Tribune
says : Johnson’s speech hardly meets
inordinate expectation. As an argu
ment in the Louisiana case it compares
unfavorably with others. Johnson’s
views on the third term and his reflec
tions on Grant and Sheridan will at
tract attention.
The Times says the speech was nom
inally on Gi ant’s course regarding Lou
isiana, but really on the course and
achievements of Andrew Johnson. It
was the same unending stream of dis
jointed boasting,with occasional shrewd
and blunt > oints against his enemies.
The Herald thinks the speech will
make a profound impression by reason
of its earnestness and courage. Virtual
ly the speech is an impeachment of
Gen. Grant.
The World says the speech will se
cure attention to the political situation.

Mr. Beecher on the Cardinalship.
During a recess of the trial a New
York Herald reporter interviewed Mr.
Beecher on the recent appointment of
Archbishop McCloskey to a Cardinal
ship, with the following result:
“ Has the appointment of Archbishop
McCloskey as Cardinal a significance?”
Mr. Beecher—None beyond showing,
as I think, that the Court of Rome
takes more interest in the Catholic
Church in America. In my opinion,
Rome has neglected it to a great ex
tent. The Catholic Church has made
great strides iu in the United States.
It has thrown off its baby clothes and
entered the lists for trial with the fore
most congregations of the land. I
think this recognition of the New York
Archbishop has been dilatory. There
was Archbishop Hughes, a very able
man, upon whom the honor should
have been conferred years ago.
Reporter—Did you, know him, Mr.
Beecher?
Mr. Beecher—Not personally ; but I
knew enough about him to see he was
a strong champion on his own side—
wary, shrewd and forcible. His ener
gies never suffered from stagnation.
He was no half-hearted apostle of
Catholicity, and, as a rule, Catholicity
is well served by its agents. It is fore
most in zeal and persistency, the qual
ities that help the spread of almost all
ideas.
Reporter—What do you think of the
new Cardinal?
Mr. Beecher—By all accounts he is
an excellent man. He performs his
duties quietly but faithfully. He holds
aloof from controversies and leaves tfie
quarrelling to other people. For a
dignity lik e this he is well fitted, and
Catholics will have no reason to be
ashamed of the man so honored. I
only wonder the Pope did not think
long before now of paying this graceful
tribute to the great and growing
branch of the Church located in this
country.
Reporter—You do not think, as some
do, that this thing means Papal aggres
sion in America.
Mr. Beecher—By no means. My
theory is that every religion in this
land should have a fair and equal
chance. All being on the one footing,
I say, let the best one win. If the
Catholic religion goes to the wall in the
struggle, its inherent weakness will be
shown. LiviDg in the bright light of
the nineteenth century, that religion
alone can succeed that has bread in
place of stone to offer its followers. I
have always maintained that this soil
was to be the race ground of the earth’s
religions and the scene to witness
the triumph of the true one.—
Liberty of thought and expression is
as unfettered as the winds. Give all
then the same chance to prove them
selves and an enlightened people will
finally discover where the pure and sin
cere teaching lies. Papal aggression is
a mere bugbear. If it be the aggres
sion of thought and argument every
disinterested man will welcome it.
Aggression, in the sense of aiming to
subvert the oountry’s religious and
political liberties, is absurd, for it im
plies that 30,000,000 of people must be
inferior to her. Away with bigotry and
intolerance, and leave to reason, con
trolled by faith, the solution as to
which religion best deserves the suf
frages of a great people.
Mr. Beecher, shortly after express
ing these liberal sentiments, left to go
to his lunch.
IFrom the Chicago Times.
Acres of Skeletons Unearthed by the
Flood.
The high water at the recent flood
washed about four feet of earth from
ten to fifteen acres of land lying along
the Tennessee river, on the farm of Mr.
Jas. Prater, near Louisville, iu Blount
county. About two feet of earth was re
moved from the same ground by the
high tide of 1867,
When the waters subsided, after the
the last flood, a strange spectacle was
presented. The whole of the denuded
area was covered with skeletons. Some
were straight, some reclining, some
doubled up, and some in a sitting pos
ture. There were the osseous forms of
infants, of children and of full grown
persons. Mr. Prater has counted over
a thousand forms.
The steamer City of Knoxville, on
her last trip, brought some of these
bones to Chattanooga, and Mr. Craw
ford, the clerk of the Knoxville, pre
sented us with a skull.
Persons who have lived in the vicinity
of this mysterious cemetery for sixty
five years never heard of any human
bones being discovered there before.
The skeletons, we understand, are
not fouud in a mound, cor in what ap
pears to be an artificial formation of
the earth.
We understand one or more mounds
were partially washed away in Meigs
county, disclosing several skeletons,
stone hatchets and pipes, and imple
ments common among the Indians.
The skeletons in Blount county prob
ably occupy a burying ground, which,
perhaps, centuries ago was covered up
by the same agency which has now ex
posed its occupants to view.
Suicide of a Bride.— A sad suicide
occurred in Yerona, Italy, the other
day. The Countess Maria Scioppo nee
Randiner, shot herself through the
heart with a revolver while in bed ear
ly in the morning. She was only 19.
Her husband had gone to Magdeburg
to bring his mother-in-law to see her
daughter, aud a telegram announcing
his return with her mother had been
received by the Countess. On the
night before her death she sang and
played until 2 o’clock in the morning,
when she retired. The maid who un
dressed her did not perceive anything
unusual in the demeanor of the Count
ess. Five or six days before she had
bought the revolver, saying that it was
a present for one of her relatives, the
young Count M., then at a military
college.
Men who travel barefooted around a
newly carpeted bed-room often find
themselves on the wrong tack.

OLD-TIME SPELLING-MATCH.
Staten Island Solons Testing Their
Orthography.
“It gives me great pleasure,” says
Mr. J. W. Simonton, of the Associated
Press, as he stood on the platform of
the Association Hall, in Factoryville,
Staten Island, last, night, “as Presi
dent of the Young Men’s North Shore
Christian Association, to welcome you
here. We have met, as amateurs iu
spelling, to find out who is the best
speller and who is the worst on the
North Shore here. No professionals
will be allowed to enter the contest, and
under the head of professionals we
rank school teachers and school child
ren, so that no one can plead rustiness
to excuse himself from trying for the
prize. We are all rusty, and we must
enter into this thing with formality,
like children going to their play. This
gentleman here,” and Mr. Simonton
pointed to a tall man dressed in a ped
agogue’s true suit of black, and with a
big, red head—“ will act as pioneer to
choose the words, and propound them
to the classes. It rests with you to
elect two captains, who will, iu their
turn, choose classes of equal number.
Will somebody nominate the captains?”
One voice brought forward the name
of W. R. Eadie, and another that of
William L. Sexton ; and the two gentle
men named, after the nominations were
ratified by the applause of the house,
mounted the platform and tossed a
penny for the first choice of followers.
The room was crowded, and every
face was expectant with the expression
of hope of being called, if only for the
pleasure of having a chance to refuse,
and this interest did not cease until
name after name had been called, and
eleven gentlemen were ranged in each
opposing army. Then Mr. Eadie led a
lady to his side, and while Mr. Sexton
looked on in dismay, Mr. Harman
Brown, of Wall street, one of Mr. Sex
ton’s men, balanced the honors by se
curing another lady and leading her to
his seat. Two more were afterwards
induced to compete, and then the
twenty-six spellers were ready for
work.
beginning the battle.
“Embarrassment” was the first
word given out by Pioneer Sprague.
“ E-m-b-a-double r-a-double s-m-e-n-t,”
quickly replied Mr. Sexton. “ Intelli
gible,” said the pioneer. “I-n-in-t-e-1-
tel-intel-l-i-li-intelli-g-i-gi-b-l-e, intelli
gible,” responded Mr. Eadie, amid the
applause of the house.
So things ran smoothly until one of
Mr. Eadie’s men tried to make
“ t-y-r-a-n-i-c-l-e” spell tyrannical, and
Mr. Sprague invited him to step down
and out. “ A q-u-e-s ” for “ a-q-u-e
--o-u-s” cost Mr. Sexton’s army a man,
and “ e-x-h-i-l-i-r-a-t-e ” carried off an
other. “ D-i-s-c-e-r-n-a-b-l-e ” and “i-r
--r-e-p-a-r-a-b-l-e ” pawed with each
other, one slaying a soldier of Eadie’s,
and the other knocking down and out
a very disgusted man who had been
spelling with more confidence than cor
rectness.
Then came a word over which the de
bate ran high and warm. “ A-p-o-s
--t-a-c-y” was the way an Eadie man
spelled it, and when the pioneer an
nounced that it was wrong, there was
rebellion every where in the air. There
were many speakers to uphold the un
fortunate speller, and the poor peda
gogue who had ruled otherwise was in
a hopeless minority until a Webster’s
unabridged proved that he was right.
Then Mr. Brown, of Wall street, ral
lied around him with an “I told you so.”
Oscillate was the next word that
brought death in the camps, and it
killed the man dead who tried hard to
spell it with one I, and indirectly de
prived Mr. Eadie of one of his ladies,
who took it for a model for the woid
“ossify,” which she argumentatively
dissected into “o-s-c-i-f-y.”
astonishment.
When the truth was forced upon the
house that her logic was bad, and that
her effort would not satisfy the de
mands of orthography, there was a
look of stunned dismay on the face of
more than half of the audience, and it
was easy to read in their eyes, “What
is our language coming to, if such gi
gantic reasoning won’t master it?”
In the moment of confusion Mr. Sex
ton missed an easy word, and as he
stepped down aud out, resigned the
leadership of his baud to a pale-faced
man, who tried to palm off “i-d-i-o-s-y
--n-c-r-a-c-y” as being all right, and who
was compelled in consequence to yield
his place to a young lady who wore a
pink rose at her neck. “C-i-s-m-a-t-i-c”
and “a-s-c-a-s-s-i-n-a-t-p” were the nets
which entangled two phonetic spellers,
and one too many l’s carried off anoth
er of Mr. Sexton’s party.
“ A-l-l-e-d-g-e,” called out oue gen
tleman in response to the pioneer’s
call, and he was asked to .step down.
He demurred, and friends rallied around
him; but still the pioneer would not
succumb until a reference to the dic
tionary showed an old but satisfactory
authority for the gentleman’s method.
Then some boys in the gallery, failing
to sympathize with their discomfited
teacher, started a shrill, exasperating
hiss, which made the pedagogue’s face
for the momen: brighter than his hair.
OLD, BUT GOOD.
“I have a personal statement,” said
he, savagely, “to make to those boys
who hissed.” aud he looked very much
as though he would settle the account
with his ferule at the very earliest
school session. “ That way of spelling
allege,” he continued, is more than
fifty years old, but is admissible.”
At this stage the losses on both sides
were equal, but there were only ten
left of the original twenty-six. “ C-o-n
--d-en-s-c-e-n-s-i-o-n” and “ p-e-r-s-p-i
--c-a-c-o-u-s ” made the opposing parties
four to four, and “ p-l-e-b-i-a-n ” and
“ s-i-b-i-1 ” left them three to three, be
sides depriving each of its leader.
“ I-c-t-h-y-o-l-o-g-y,” slowly spelled
Mr. Brown, and when he was warned
that he should have used another “h,”
he cried out, “I meant to pit it iu ; in
deed I did.” But his plea availed him
nothing, and he looked sadly at his di
minished colleagues as he moved away,
and then glanced at his opponent
across the room who just then lost a
man on “m-i-g-a-o-n-e-t-t-e.”
NARROWING DOWN THE CONTEST.
Mr. Cary and Mrs. Ford then were
left to contest the victory with Messrs.
Simonton and Bend. The lady had
spelled promptly and well, but “ m-i-1-
e-n-i-a-l” it was that beat her, and
“h-e-m-o-r-a-g-e” carried off Mr. Bend.
Mr. Simonton spelled diptheria
“d-i-p-t-h-e-r-i-a,” and was upheld by
the pioneer, but confessedly failed on
“innuendo,” from which he omitted an
n, leaving Mr. Cary, a lawyer, of 69
Wale street, sole survivor, and there
fore, winner of the prize offered, which
consisted of a set of Macaulay’s His
tory of England, or of a Webster’s Un
abridged, at the. option of the victor.
New Orleans Picayune.
GORDON AND POTTER.
They Didn’t Advise.
Another name is added to the list—
we presume the Bulletin would call it
the Roll of Honor—of those who de
clined to advise Louisiana in the ad
justment matter. Hon. Clarkson N.
Potter writes to Hon. Randall Gibson,
of this city, denying that he counseled
the acceptance of the Wheeler proposi
tion, and adding that when approached
on the subject he declined to express
any opinion whatever. This makes the
second distinguished Democrat who
has put himself on record as a neutral
and indifferent spectator of our trou
bles, and the circumstance is chronicled
by the Bulletin as being specially signifi
cant and admirable.
We do not fully comprehend the
Bulletin’s animus in this. We fail to
see how anything is to be proved—that
is, anything which the Bulletin would
be likely to wish to prove. The refusal
of Messrs. Gordon aud Potter to dis
play an interest in our affairs is per
fectly consistent with the Picayune’s
theories of outside help, but not at all
consistent with what the Bulletin has
always urged. We have taken the
ground that the Democratic party
cared absolutely nothing for our wel
fare; that, while it was quite willing to
utilize our misfortunes for campaign
nurposes and flaunt our mutilation
from the stump, the idea of helping
us to recover our prosperity or re
gain our stolen peace, would be
about the last one to occur to it. Ob
servation has persuaded us that the
Democratic party likes Louisiana very
well, but chiefly as a cripple, an in
teresting invalid, to exhibit to the
Northern populace as an instance of
Republican cruelty and a proof of its
own superior merit. And, in this view
of the question, the action of Messrs.
Potter and Gordon is intelligible
enough. Though Mr. Potter readily
agreed to come here for the purpose of
making a report to Congress which
would condemn the Administration
policy and inferentially commend the
Democratic party to public patronage
and approval, he had no advice to give
when the opportunity arose for Louis
iana to escape from her troubles alto
gether and cease to supply Democratic
wranglers with indignation. Though
Senator Gordon could discourse all
eloquently of the ruin and oppression
and impoverishment wrought by ear
pet-bag rule and Federal interference
in Louisiana, he appeared to lose his
interest in the case when the ruin and
oppression and impoverishment threat
ened to disappear and with them the
political capital which he found so use
ful.
These gentlemen are easily enough
understood in the light our theory
casts upon their motives. The propo
sition that they value Louisiana only
as so much party material, fits iu with
every irregularity aud eccentricity of
their course. But why the Bulletin, an
advocate and expounder of Democratic
virtues, a champion of the policy of de
pending on Democratic friendship for
relief—why the Bulletin should hold up
Messrs. Potter and Gordon as objects
of pride and gratitude is a problem we
find ne satisfactory answer for. If they
had taken some decided stand and
made some argument in its support,
even though the argument were as
thin and sentimental as Mr. Booth’s,
we might be able to explain tbe Bulle
tin’s administration. But, since they
took no stand and offered no opinion, it
strikes us that their action merely ex
presses the apathy and indifference and
unconcern of the Democratic party in
any question affecting the material
prosperity or local welfare of Louisi
ana.
Mr. Stephens.
The Augusta correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, in his let
ter of the 11th inst., thus speaks of
this gentleman :
ARRIVAL OF ALEX. H. STEPHENS.
The immediate Representative of
this district in Congress, Hon, Alex.
H. Stephens, arrived in Augusta from
Washington last night. I had the
pleasure of calling upon him this morn
ing at the Central Hotel. In the first
place, he has not been iu better health
tor five or six years. When he left here
last Fall for Washington he could not
raise himself out ot' a chair without as
sistance, and every movement of his
body seemed painful in the extreme.
But the wonderful old mail returns
home to the baltny South from the rig
ors of a Washington Winter and the
harassing duties of Congress with re
newed strength, and bids fair to see
many of us baried yet. That uhostly
face which has haunted me for the la-1
four months now actually has some
color in it.
Wnen I entered the room hew r asjust
bidding adieu to a party of Massachu
setts ladies and gentlemen, and Dr. Mc-
Dermott, an Ohio Presbyterian clergy
man. The conversation immediately
turned upon national politics. He
stated in general terms that the De
mocratic party must move along with
a great deal of caution if it won the
next Presidential campaign ; that noth
ing could be gained by abusing Gen.
Grant, but we should rather direct our
attacks upon the vulnerable points of
the Radical party. It was a mistake
for us to conclude that that party was
dead, for we would find it had far more
vitality in the Presidential forthcoming
campaign than we now suppose it will
show. It was a rambling, disjointed
conversation, in which he alluded to
many incidents, and called up histori
cal political retniniscenaes occurring
during the last twenty-five years. The
newspapers of our country often abused
public men very unjustly. He in
stanced the censure of Mr. Adams,
whom he spoke of as a great man, who
died leaving a reputation made by
newspapers and not by himself. Of
Gen. Gordon and Col. Lamar he spoko
in terms of high praise, giving them
the credit of doing a great deal to
wards breaking down the sectional ha
treds of our common country. In spite
of his efforts to conceal it, I saw plain
ly that he was very cheerful over the
general situation.
English Statistics of Population.—
According to the last census in Sing
land and Wales the females of the pop
ulation outnumbered the males bv up
ward of half a million; buc above the
age of 25 the males exceeded the fe
males in number. While there were
400,000 widowers, there were 873,000
widows. Above the uge of 90, females
numbered two to every male. The
number of centennarians had decreased
during the last forty years, notwith

There were in the southeastern coun
