PRBSIDBNT OP THR UNITED STATUS I
When Abraham Lincoln breathed his last, the
ration forgot the scene in Washington on the
4th of March, and tnrned to Audrew Johnson
as the Chief Magistrate of the Republic wkh
tae kindliest feelings and the most unfaltering
trust. All minor i.-.sues were lost sight ot in
the one great issue then presented Shall the
fruits of the war tor the Union, lust brought to
successlul close, be sna'.chcd from our grasp?
How could there be any doubt ai to the new
President's response? Ou the 3d of April, not
two weeks previous to the great calamity which
made him President, he had delivered a char
acteristic address in Washington, on tho occa
elou of the public Tejolcings over the fall of
Richmond, In the course of which, after refer
ring to the position taken by himself lu the
Senate at the ombreak of tho war, when "as
to loyalty ho stood solitary and alone anions;
the Senators Irom the Southern States,'' lie
aid:
"I wm then and there called upon to know what I
would to with such traitors, a oil 1 want to repeat my
reply here. I said. If we bad nn Andrew Jacltson be
would bang Ilium at high ai Human, but as be Is no
nor, and sleeps in bis (rave lu his own beloved
State, where traitors aud treason bv even Insulted
lila tomb and tbe vrj earth that coven bis remains,
bamb e as I am, when you ask me wht I would do,
my reply is, would arrest them I would try them I
Uioutd comrfot them, ami J uoulU hang litem!"
Towards tbe close ot the same a Id r ess he
exclaimed:
"Treason Is tbe highest crime known In tbe cata
logue of crlnea, sod tor him tliat it guilty ot It for
blra that la willing to llt his Impious band against
ine autnority or me nation i would sy ueatn is too
sy a punlsbment. My notion it that treason mutt be
tnaiie oaiout, and traitors mint be puniihr.d!"
To detail the niauuer lu which this blatant
threat bas been executed would require a review
ot the entire history of the country from the
15th of April, 18G5, to the present day an im
possibility in the limited space at our command.
We proceed to give, however, a chronological
outline of Andrew Johnson's administration,
each separate date being a sort of round in the
ladder down which that functionary has been
stumbling with such rapid strides from the
njoraent that he gained the top.
For a fow mouths subsequent to his accidental
elevation to tbe Presidency, before his brain
bad been completely turned by the fancy of
concocting and enforcing a ''policy" ot his own,
be continued to command tbe confidence and
jespoct ot the country.
This be did by making an earnest show of
putting Into executlou his threat of April 3,
1805, to render treason odious and traitors the
most uncomfortable of human beings. The
assassination conspirators were huuted to the
death with his he arly concurrence, lare
rewards for tbeir apprehension were offered,
their trial was conducted with nummary expe
dition, their sentences ha&tily approved ttnl
unhesitatingly executed.
On Apiil 2D he proclaimed June 1 following a
day of iiumiliiition and prayer because ot' the
great calamity by which he was lilted into the
President's chair.

largo rewards for tho apprehension of Jc-U"
Davis and certain other leading rebels.

Provisional Governor of North Carolina, follow

una Florida.

During all this time the late leaders of the
Rebellion, une'er his superintendence aud en
couragement, hail been eiiligently at work
building up Statu governments otter their own
fashion, by entirely ignoring the loyal element
ot tho Southern population, an I with tbe chief
view of restoring themselves t the positions of
power and influence, ut home and I.; th'j na
tional councils, which thiy bad forfeited by tn
ESgin in rebellion. Tuis ta-k aceomplUhei,

Kcliuyler C'ollitx, tUe N'evv Tice-I're-sident,
was born in Xew ork cdy, March 23, 1823,
so that he is about a yeu' older ihau General
Grant. Like Grant he merely bad the advau
tuaes of a common s-cbrol education, and bsing
obliued to deoct el lolely upon hn own Industry
for a living, he was pined iu a mercantile
e.iiaoiisnaieiii in e loiK, remaiuing mere
for three tears.

Tlie Counsellors of Andrew Johnson.

by the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, he
accepted tbe members of the Cabinet of the

became embroiled in the dispute witb Stanton.
With tae exception of the Secretary of War, all
of Mr. Lincoln's ministers williugly submitted
lotheJohmonizing process, and remained faith
ful exponents nnu advocates of "my policy"' as
long as there was any possible chance for its
success. Mr. Seward, who became Secretary of
State on the accession of President Lincoln,
has contrived to retain the confidence of Presi
dent Johnson throughout his term of ofiice, and
Mr. Welles, has been tciunlly successful. Mr.
McCullocu, who was made Secretary of the
'J rea.-ury immediately alter Mr. Lincoln's second
Inauguration, has held on to the position tirmly,
although the political atmosphere has ire

tVllllniu II, Newnrtl, the Secretary of
dining the two administrations of Abrahtm
Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, has held that
oflico during a louger period than any other
Incumbent excepting James Madison, troni 1801
to 1809, and Johu Quincy Ad ims from 1817 to
1825, each of whom held it for the same length
of time. He was born In Florida, Oran;e county,
New York, May 16, 1801, and was educated at
Union College, Schenectady, where he gradu
ated in 1820. After leaving college, he entered
on tbe study of the law, aud was admitted to the
bar in 1822. In the following year he removed
to Auburn, New York, where he bas since re
sided, aud speedily made his mark as a rising
man iu his profession. In 1830 he was elected
to the State Senate for four years, and in 1834
be was nominated on the Whig ticket for Oov
srnor, but was defeated. He was again nonil
na'cdforthe same oflice in 183S, and bning
elected he entered upon the discharge of bis
duties in 183D. During his administration he
devo'ed himself with energy to the prosecution
ol internal improvements, and to reforming the
public school system of the Sta'e. Mr. Se.vurd
held the otlice of Governor for four years, and
on the expiration of his second term he decline 1
a re-election, and returned to the practlco ot his
profession. In March, 181D, he was chosen
United States Senator, and held the position
nntit he was iuvitcd to enter the Cabinet ot Mr.
L'ncolu, in March, 1801.
During his Senatorial career Mr. Sevard
became the acknowledged leader ot the new
Republican party, and ior many years be wss
tbe 'oremost man iu Its ranks Ou the 25th of
Oc'eber, 1858. at Rochester, New York, be
delivered a speech in which he laid down so
clearly the principles involved in the "irre
pressible conflict" between freedom aud
sdavcry, that it became the key-note to that
ccnfl.ct until tlie war of words was endd by
an appeal to tbe sword. When the National
Republican Convention assembled at Chicago,
in May, 1800, he was regarded as the most for
midable candidate tor the noirnatlon. On tho
tirst ballot he received 173.1 votes, Mr. Lincoln
roeeiviug but 102, the whole number being 405,
and 233 necessary to a choice. On the second
ballot tbe vole stood, for Seward 184.), and tor
Lincoln 181; on the ihird ballot, tor Seward
ISO and for Lincoln 231'., within 24 vo'.cs of the
number requued. Before the result of tbe
third ballot was announced four votes were
changed from Salmon P. Chase to Mr. Lincoln,
and Mr. Seward's drenm of the Prcsteleuey was
lorever blightoci. With commendable good
grace be acqulisced in the result, and, in
common with his most ardent admirers, threw
uli his Influence In favor of his successful rival.
Ashe had been the most formidable antago
nist of Mr. Lincoln in tbe convention, when
the latter came to the selection of a Cabinet,
10 bo composed principally of his rivals, the
first position in it was tendered to Mr. Seward,
and unhesitatingly accepted by hlai. For tho
dicharge of tho duties Incumbent upon the
Koreiga Minister during such a 01 isis us foil owed,
he was cminenlly qualified. His course, taken
as a whole, was unquestionably the safest for
tlie country, despite its occasional vacillation
and lack ot firmness. An Usue greater thau
the upholding of our dlguity abroad was at
strke, and u stout defiance ot the whole world
misiht have precipitated the calamity of a
forelan war, which threatened the nation from
the inauguration ot the Rebellion to its close.
Jnst previous to the assassination of Mr.
Lincoln, Secretary Seward had susta'ned severe
injuries by being thrown from his carriage.
While still confined to bis bed, he was, ou tho
fatal evening of April 14, 1865, brutally assailed
by Payne, one of the conspirators, and ao dan
gerously wounded that for a loug time his lifo
was despaired of. Ou his recovery, he was
continued at the head of President Johnson's
Cabinet, and became an earnest supporter of
his policy concerning the restoration of the
Southern States, thereby alienating the greater
portion of his lora.er supporter. When the
contest of 1868 was at buud, however, In a
speech delivered at Auburn, New York, a tew
days previous to the election, beclearly signified
his intention to support Grant and Ciltaxas
"the candidates of authority." The leading
features ot bis foreign diplomacy during Presi
dent Johnson's administration have been the
agitation of the Alabama claims question with
(Jieat I'.ritain, the driving ot the French outof
Menico, tbe negotiation ot naturalization trea
ties wlih the leading powers of Europe, and the
purchase ot Alaska from Russia.
Ilugli MeCulloch, Secretary of the Tren
ail ry,
is of Seotcb descent, his grandfather, Adam
MeCulloch. having emigrated from Dornoch,
Scotland, about the year 1765, aud settled m
Arundel, now Kennebuck Port, Maine. He
was born about the year 1810, and soon after
his lather, who had been oue of the largest
shipowners of New England, sustained serious
losses by the war with Great Britain. This
inle-nered with the thoroughness of his educa
tion, which was such as could be obtained at an
Academy, with oue year at Rowdoin College.
At the age of seventeen he commenced teaching
ichool, and continued at it until 1829. He theu
studied law, completing his studies in Rostou,
to which place lie removed in 1832. In June,
1833, he settled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the
practice of his pro!esiou; but in tbe fall ot
1815 he was invited to asiiime the
niiti agement of a brunch of the State

Ohleon Weilew, IheNeerelnry oftlie Nnvy,
during the administrations of President Lincoln
und Johnson, was born in Glastonbury, uart
lnid county, Connecticut, July 1, 1802. Mr.
Welles was educated at the Episcopal Academy
in Chester and at Norwich University. He
studied law. and In 1826 became one of the
editors and proprietors of the Hartford limes.
This paper ho continued to edit until the close
of President Jackson's administration. In 1827
he was elected to the Legislature, and was
repeatedly reelected until 183i, when he was
appointed Comptroller of the public accounts,
subsequently he was Postmaster at Harii'ord,
Comptroller af er tbe change in tho Constitution
making the oflice elective, aud in 1440 he was
appointed to the otbee of chief ot one of the
naval bureaus by Piesideut Polk. This position
he retained until tho summer of 1849. After
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, which
was loiiowed by the dltncunics 111 Kansas, Mr.

Kepublican National Committee, and was one
of its executive members until after the ileotiou
of Mr. Lincoln. He was blso chiirman of the
Connecticut delegation to the Chicago Con
vention.
When Mr. Lincoln took the Presidential
chair in Maich, 1801, Mr, Welles was invited to
a seat In the Cabinet ns Secre'.ary ol the Navy,
This office he has held since then, 111 spite of
gn at opposition and severe criticisms on his
management of the nilai-s of tho Navy during
and since the war. During the war Mr. Welles
was the most unpopular ot the Cabinet officers,
aud the gallant performances of the Navy were
not sufficient to bring him into favor or to
relieve him of the charge ot incompetency. It
was said that the Navy did great things in
spite of the Secretary, and not through him.
When Andrew Johnson was called to tbe
Presidential chair after tho assassination of
Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Welles continued to occupy
bis seat in tbe Cabinet, and when tho quarrel
between the Prt sideut and Congress to ik place

an early age he removed to Buckner couuty,
where he weut through a classical course at
Angusta College while performing tho duties of
a clei kin the otlice of the Couuty and Circuit
Court. He afterwards studied law and was
admiited to tbe bar. In 1831 he removed to
Ouincy, Illinois, where ho has since resided.
He served through the Black Hawk War, and
lu 1836 he was elected to the Illinois Leglsla
ture as Senator. In 1840 he was elected to the
lower bouse, and served a term of two yeurs
there. At the Rloominsdule Couvention be co
operated with Abraham Lincoln lu organizing
the Republican patty of Illinois. Iu 1800 ne
was a delegate to the uutcago Convention
which nominated Mr. Lincoln, and during the
war he was un ardent supporter of the Govern
ment. In 1801 he was appointed to fill the
vacancy in the Senate of. the United States
caused by the death of Stephen A. Douglas.
On the 1st ot September, 1806, he was appoiuted
Secretary ot the Interior by President Johnson,
on tbe retirement ot Hon. James Harlan; aud
he bas supported Mr. Johnson in his apostacy
to the pilEciple3 cn which he was elected.
tVin. 31. i:varts, the Attoruey-tJeiiernl,
is a native of ltoslou, Massachusetts, where he
was born in 1818. Alter a thorough preparatory
education, be entered Yale College, from which
he graduated, with high honors, iu 1837. Two
years were then devoted by hiin to the study of
the law at the Law School of Harvard Univer
sity. He at once settled lu Now York city and
commenced the practice of the law there, soon
attaining a high stauding In the profession. On
the 19th of April, 1849, be was appointed Deputy
United States District Attorney for tho New
York city district, holding the oflice precisely
four years to a day. In April, 1861, while acting
as District Attorney, during the sickness of the
rcgnlnr Incumbent, he signalized himself by his
able prosecution of the persons engaged iu the
Cuban tilibUNtermg scheme known as "tho
Cleopatra Expedition."' In 1853 bo resumed the
private practice of his profession, and continued
in it until bis entry Into the Cabiuet, achieving
a position which w as scarcely second to a hat of
any other lawyer in the United States. In 1853
he aguin gamed coiisldeianlc reou'atlon by
his 'conduct of tho celebrated Lemmon
slave case, as counsel lor the State of New Y ork.
Having beeu selected by President Johusou as
one ot his counsel iu tbe great impeach ineut
trial, Mr. Kvatts brought to b'-ar upon the ciiie
all his energy, learning, ind eloquence, and at
once assumed the position of leader ot the
defense. At the close of the triul he was re
warded by Mr. Johuson wi'.h the position of
Attorney-General, and was confirmed by the
Senate as such on the 15'.h of July, 1808. Al
though he has never held any public offices of
importance except the two above nicutio led,
he has frequently taken nn active part in poli
tics. He was a promiuent member ot the
National Republican Convention of 1800, iu
which he exerted himself to the utmosr. its
chairman of the New York delegation, to secure
the nomination of Mr. Seward; aad when Mr.
Lincoln received the votes of a majority of the
convention, it was he who moved that the
nomination be made unanimous. Aboat the
same time he was a promlnuut candidate for the
United Suites Senate, for th term from 1801 to
1&07, but was defeated by Hon. Ira Harris, the
compromise caudidute between the Seward and

In early life he was an ardent Democrat,

the profession many years, was appointed post

President irniilft C'nblnet
presents a fruitful theme for speculation, but
one qul'c as fruiiless as It is fruitful. By hi
re-nonse to ihe Congrcss'ot al committee which
oflicinily Infoim d him of rr.s eicciion ou ins
13' h. Inst., he showed hli delerinint'on to m un
ta n. until bts induction into olliee, his retioonoa
nton the subject, although Wendell Phillip
regards silence under such circumstances as flit
disloyalty, aud the great throng of Cabinet
makers consider it an obstinate ioterlercuce
with th?lrscheiiio. Notwithstanding the silence
of General Grant, however, there are a tew In
dications of his course the safety of putting
fHiih in which cannot be questioned. It Mr.
Seward is not re nined as Secretary of State, and
neither Johu Lo'hrop Motley, nor Chailea
Francis Adams, nor LMwiu Si. S'anton, nor
Wendell Pbillis. nor Frederick Douglass, is
tendered the position, the Cabinet-makers are
assured that somebody else will bo invite! to
accept the oliice. And a similar asuertion csn
be safely veutuied iu connection with the head
of each of the other departments.
General Grant tms likewise emphatically de
clared that he will not ccn Inform his future
counsellors of their good fortune more than
two or three days bidore he sends iu their names
to the Senate. This course on bis part Is not
without preceden. When Mr. Lincoln lett his
home at Springfield, Illinois, ou February 11,
1801, tor Washinpton, It wss generally under
stood thut be would select bis Cabinet princi
pally from among his rivals tor the Presidential
nomination. Yd tho only thing that was then
definitely known to the public wastlio selection
ot Mr. Seward as bead of the State Department,
although It is snid il.at, before statting from
Springfield, Gideon Welles had been definitely
assigned to the Navy Department, and Edward
bates to the Af.orucy-Gcneralshlp. Geucral
Cameron bad, at first, been thought of for the
Treasury, but not until about tbe 1st of March
was he finally , turned over to the War Odlee,
and the other positions provided for. The
Washington National Intelligencer, on February
20, 1857, announced the probable Cabinet of Mr.
Rucbauau, and but slight channel were subse
quently made in the programme then an
nounced. On the 17th of February, 1853, the
probable Cabiuet ot Franklin Pierce was semi
officially announced, but the list was a very
weak one, aud was completely upset by Inaugu
ration day. As early as February 17, 1849, It
was announced that John J. Crittenden of
Kentucky had declined to enter General Taylor's
Cabinet, through tear that Henry Clay would
make ttits a pretext for ein harassing tbe admin
istration. It was not, however, until March 3
ofthisjear that the probable composition of
Taylor's Cabinet was announced, and even then
the programme was found au Impracticable
one. Presluent Polk arrived in Washington
Feb. 13, 1845, but did not decide upon his Cabi
net until after March 1. Iu (Jeneral
Harrison's case, however, the National
Jntei igincer on February 13, 1841, four days
after Harrison's arrival lu Washington,
announced scmi-offlclally the future Cabinet,
and no change whatever was subsequently
made in the list then promulgated. That Mar
tin Van Bureu would go iuto General Jackson's
Cabinet was generally understood long before
the 4th ol March, 1829, but no authoritative
announcement of the remaining Cabinet officers
was made until February 27. The list published
on that day by tho National Intettiyneer was
chnnged in only one particular, that of the
Postmaster-Gem ralship. Martin Van IS u ren
accepied Jackson's Cabinet In 1837, as he found
it, making but one change for several months
after bis accession. W itu these facts before the
public, it will be seen that General Grant's
course In icgard to his Cabinet appointments la
not so extraordinary ns Is generally supposed.
