CHAPTHE XXXIX.
But for some --unexplained rea
son, President Andrew Johnson
disapproved the Sherman—Johns
ton terms of surrender, and for
general pacification and final res
toration of the seceded states to
the nnio-i, and ordered Sherman to
resume the aggressive. Of this,
Sherman, pursuant to agreement,
promptly notified Johnston, and
notified him to prepare to defend
■himself. This unexpected proceed
ing, upon the part of the President,
disrobed the peace-makers, and
left Johnston with but one alterna
tive, and that was to accept what
ever terms he could get, or contin
ue the war, and the latter would
have been, as Johnston well knew,
a useless effusion of blood. He
therefore, without fuither hostili
ties, reopened negotiations with
Sherman, which resulted in his
surrender upon terms similer to
the terms allowed Lee by Grant,
after the latter had made a breach
in the general line of defense of
the former, and forced him to sur
render Richmond on the 9th of
April,—last 17 days before this
surrender. When this was read to
the men on dress parade, as was
done on the day of the first attempt
tojsarrender, an entirely different
picture was depicted in their faces,
and some vile, mutinous impreca
tions were uttered by those who
were nnthoaghtful and imprudent.
Of coarse we all could see that by
the terms of the final surrender
that we were in a state of absolute
snbjagatioo, and at the mercy of
the conquerers; whereas; by the
terms formulated in the agreement
and proceedings of the Sherman
—Johnston Convention, oar status
as a people, and as states, wonid
have been different.
Why President Johnson, a
southern man, a North Carolinian
by nativity, bat a Tennesseean by
adoption, disapproved the agree
ment arrived at in the Sherman—
Johnston Convention, does not
clearly appear, and can only be ac
counted for upon the theory that
the office of Chief Magistrate had
been so suddenly and unexpected
ly thrust upon him by the tragic
death of President Lincoln, on the
I4th of April, jast four days be
fore the Sherman—Johnston Con
vention, that he was not in a prop
er frame of mind to hastily consid
er importent measures.
The general oatline of the Sher
man—Johnston agreement was in
strict accord with the reconstruc
tion policy he afterward outlined ?
which resulted in a quarrel be
tween him and the federal congress
and finally culminated in his im
peachment by the house, which
failed of conviction by one vote
only,—the senate sitting, as a high
court of impeachment — presided
over by Chief Justice Chase, of the
Supreme Court of the United
States.
The reader will understand that
in the Sherman—Johnston Con
vention, Gen. Johnston had been
fully empowered by the Canfeder-
ate|President and his cabinet to ar
range the best possible terms with
the federal authorities for a termi
nation of. the war and general pac
ification, but Gen. Sherman had
politicians and place hunters,

The yonng man’s soul was in his
voice, says the Chicago Tribaue.
“Christine,” he repeated, “listen

Yon don’t know—”
“Yon are going to say I don’t
know yon well enough. We have
been acquaintances only a few
months. Whan does that signify?
When a man loses his heart at first
sight does he need to wait—”
“I ought to let yon go on in this
way, Mr. Spoonamore.”
“It is too late for that. Pve got
started, and a steam brake couldn’t
stop me now. Pve beeiLbottled up
too long already, Yon’ye'got to lis

“You think yon know me, do
you, Mr. Spoon—”
“Coaid I know-you any better in
a thousand years? Gh, Chris
tine—”
“That’s it!” she broke in, with a
peal of laughter. “Yon are not talk
ing to me at all, Mr. Spoonamore.
This is my twin sister!”
All the way home—for whieh he
started shortly afterward—yonng
Spoonamore with a hopelessly
puzzled look on his face, was try
ing to figure out how that coaid
possibly be.

The republican press seems now
to have reached the conclusion
that the public mind most be pre
pared for very large expenditures
in “the colonies” without adequate
returns for the outlay. The Chi
cago Times-Herald (Rep.) says;
“We cannot evade the responsibil
ities of victary merely because the
islands are not, under present con
ditions, a good “business invest-
ment.” : We must grapple with this
problem and settle it in the same
way that the Anglo Saxon race has
settled all. other probleme of civil
ization and government.”
begotten Son, that whosoever be-
lievethinHim should not perish,but
have everiasting’live.” John 3:16.
There must have heeu a great
deal of talk about the wonderful
things Jesus was doing: how He
had turned water into wine, and
driven the traders out of thetemple
with a whip. He was poor, and des
pised by many people because He
was a laboring man; many hated
Him because He was good and call
ed Himself the Son of God.
There was one of the Pharisees
named Nicodemus, who knew that
Jesns came from God, because no
one else coaid do such miracles.
Nicodemas belonged to the council
that eondemed Jesus to death, bat
he wac not against Him, so he
came to Him by night.
Jesus knew Nicodemus—for He
knows all things and all men—and
told him at once that there is only
one way to get into Heaven. There
mast be a-complete ehaDge in every
man wrought by some one out
side, for the sinner is like a dead
man, with no hope inside:; only go
ing to corruption ; getting worse
every day. This change must be a
new birth. “Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the Kingdom
of God.”
So the only hope is in the Holy
Spirit, Who cannot be seen any
more than the wind, bat~Who alone
can derform the wonderful regen
eration, or making anew. Nicode
mas could not understand this, bat
we can, for we have the Spirit’s
statement in His Book: “Whoso
ever believeth. that Jesus is the
Christ is born of-God.” He also
saya of Jesns: “As many as receiv
ed Him, to them gave He power to
become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on His name;
which were born of God.”
And then Jesns told Nicodemas
plainly the way to be saved. He re
minded him of the time when the
Jews had sinned against God, and
Ha had sent fiery serpents into
their camp, which were biting ard
ki'ling_.6lie people; and when they
had no hope they called on God',
and He told Moses to put a brass
serpant on a pole so that every one
coaid see it, and whoever looked
on it was saved. And then Jesus
said, “As Moses lifted up the ser
pent in the wilderness, even so
mast the son of man be lifted up;
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish: bat have eternal
life. For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.”
When JesnB was afterwards lift
ed np on the cro-is, and paid oar
debt, all people could know jast
what He meant by believing and
being born again.
There are two men now in
Heaven with Jesns, who had the
greatest earthly honor ever confer
red on any one. They are Nic
odemas and Joseph of Arimathea;
two of his deciples, secretly for
fear of the Jews. WTien the other
disciples had forsaken Him these
two men begged his body of Pilate,
