With the Preeident.
Wasineron, D. C., April 8, 1868.—1 went to
Washinton for theperpose uv takin advice uv
Attorney-General Binkley, ez to whether, in the
event nv the impeachment nv the present Presi
dent, I cood be ousted out uv . my Post 011ie be
fore the 4th uv March, 1868, when it okkured to,
me that I ought to hey some .conversaabun with
His Eggalency, for the purpose uv publiahin the
same in the papers uv Kentucky. Ez I wuz
ushered into the presence, and made known the
fact that I desireri to talk'withifitn,he direktid
his eekretary to furnish me with pens and paper,
that I might take down wbat he sad.
I found him celm, and hopeful. Thera wuz in
hie eagle eyes suthin Iry that determinashen wick
hez made him to-wunst the terror uv his friends
and the. comfort uv his enemies,• his firm Bet lips
betokened the will that wuz beldnd em, and his
nose, like a beacon lite, gleamed defiance at the
world.
"Remark, casually," sed he, "that the Runkle
majority seem determined upon impeachment."
I did so, when he replied in these words:
"Yee, they do. And why, I cannot understand.
Never wuz there a man eggisted in this or any
.other world, who wanted peace more than I hey.
1 hei sighed for it, and done everythin in my
power for it, but they wood not hey peace.
In the beginnin they talked uv askin me to re
sine, becoz uv the triflin egsllemshen I wuz ta
borin under on the occashun uv my ilaugera
shen, forgettin that it wuz the man, not the Vice
Preaident, that wee.. drunk. Then, agin I
wanted the restorashen uv the South accomplish
ed akkordin to my views nv wat wuz proper,
and here agin their onreasonableniss wuz made
painfully .manifest. They coed hey hed peece—
there wood hey bin no trouble waterer, tied they
eelded to me, and accepted the policy I bed
agreed upon. But they wood not. The entire
Congris try the Yoonited States: and the entire
people uv the so-called loyal States, wickedly set
theireelves in oppoelshen to me, after I hed
solemnly warned em uv the conseltenses that
must inevitably toiler. They brought it on, and
their's is the blame. It wood be well to ask me
here, Low about the Memphis and .Noo Orleans
massacres, and the Ku Klux Klan."
I did tide, and the President went on.
•The uufortuuit okkurrences in Memphis and
Noo ()rheas wuz the result uv the same (mint
developed in the people uv the South who op
poeed the confederacy. They knew wat I de
sired. Fcr the sake nv peace, to wipe out all
traces of the late oepleasantnis. I decided that
everything stood be restored ez It wnz before,
ez near ez mite be. My Idea wuz to kiver things
up. I bad promised the friends uv the late lost

guided people which bed stood In opposition to
the confederacy yielded this one pint for the
sake uv harmony, all wood hey bin well. The
procees wnz at once simple and sublime. In
Noo Orleans Dr. Drank and his adherents
bed only to turn over the control nv the city to
Mayor Monroe and Judge Abell, and there wood
hey bin no massacre. But they wood not. They
persisted in inflamin nv ther high-spirited. oppo

the infatooatid people nv the North, who egged
on the niggers my Memphis and Noo Orleans to
this attempt to raise themselves out uv the normal
speerin to with they wuz left by the Con stitooshen,
must all the blame for this lamentable okkur
ence now and forever attach. The Ka-Klux
Klan is another development uv the same spirit
produced by similar causes and eventooatln in
the same results. The niggers, instid nv humbly
pursooin the even tener tee ther former ways and

wonted indulgence in the flowin hole mite, in a
playful, sportive mood,eccasionally shoot or stab
a dozen or sich a matter my em. They hey brot
it upon theireelves. Ask me now about Grant,
Sherman and them."
I did so, and the President ansered promptly,
enc.:frau his remarks with approprit jesters.
"I alluz reposed- great confidence in Grant.
For a long time he wuz wonderfully reticent, uv
wich I didn't take no nods, fer ez it wuz incom
prehensible to me how any one cood differ with
me. I spored he wuz troo to me and the cons
tooshen. I never lost faith in his patertism till
he insanely and blindly commenst oppoaln me,
and then I resigned him reluctantly. Bat he
finally went over. Witten awful thing it Is that
one who bed won sich laurels ez he bed—who

earth by one false step. But so it wnz with
Grant. lEle Ind rendered rue valyooable assistance
in puttin down the rebellion, and Led suffered
almost ez much for the Constooshen ez I bed,
but he roomed hisself after all. Sheridan op

uv how they hey roomed theirselves—my wat

HATANA, A p rll 19, 1868.—We have received
newspapers from Vera _Cruz to the 15th inst.
Forty-five of the
_passengers by the steamer
Panama are for Havaaa; the balance are in
transit for foreign ports. The steamer brings
0220,000 in specie. A condvcta of three millions
of dollars had left San Luis Potosi on the 9th
instant for Tampico. There were two British
men of war at Sacrificlos Island. The Virgo had
not arrived. A project for the navigation
of the lake and waters of the valley
has been approved. The anniversary
of the slaughter of Tacubaya, in 1859,.
under Marquez, had been celebrated. Pre
sident Juarez was present, also a large assem
blage of ladies, who strewed flowers o,n the tombs
of the victims. The schools in Tamaulipas are
obliged to teach the new political catechism of
the constitution. The official journal of Sinaloa
publishes the adhesion ita the plan of Elota.
General Martinez. when government, ordered the
surrender 'of his forces, begged e President
to revoke the order, and stated that in
accord with the orders of Last February
he will'hiake his obedience: that he is 'not Inimi
cal to the institutions of the country. The bri
gade of General Arce are in the field at Iguala.
Two cavalry generals lately with General Jim
enez have offered their services to General Area
for the ,pacification of Sinaloa., An American
bark caught In contraband trade at La Paz bad
been confiscated. The closing of the port of
Mazatlan had been disregarded. The Mexican
treasury . had ordered all holders of the
twenty-six per cent.bonds to present them before,
the expiration of one month for payment. Sus
picions were entertained that arms would be
landed in Upper California to aid in a rebellion.
Five thousand bayonets for Mazatlan had been
Put ashore at La Paz. Eldridge had gone to San
blas. Schumacher holds a letter of credit against
x-Govern or Vega for $60,000 on account-of
arms, &c. Vega is supposed to be conniving
at the Siholos, troubles. A Committee of Con
gress reported in favor of increasing the
salaries of- Ministers to $B,OOO per year, and
of suppressing the secret service fund of the
State Department subventions, &e.. They also
meditate suppresaing the Ministries of Public
Works and Justice and Instruction. A naval
school is to be established at Campeachy. Ac
counts from Mazatlan report Vega to be in accord
with Gen. Lozada. The steamer Tampico had
been ordered to Yucatan to keep order. The
State of Queretaro has approved the
opening of a road to Tampico. An Evan
gelical Church has been established at the
capital. Minister de Castro has resigned his
portfolio. The Camanches were continuing their
depredations in Coahnlla, and were advancing to
the borders of the State of San Luis Potosi.
Government has asked Congress to authorize a
military occupation or colonization of the border
of both States. General Garcia will comply with
the project. Some American officers have re
cently been visiting the Commandant at 'Mazat
lan. President Juarez was recently unwell, but'
had recovered. Gov. McCormack, of Arizona,
bad arrived at tires, Sonora, to console with the
Governor over the loss of his son. He had a
consultation with the authorities on the subject
of the transportation et American war material
through that State to the American frontier in
transit to Arizona.
The Apaches were, still roving through the dis
tricts of Moctezumai &e. Colonel Bustamente,
at the head of about six hundred troopB i , was
after them. He deemeit necessary to agreewith
the Indians to lay down all arms when treating
for peace. One hundred and fifty of their arms
had been secured in a church. The balance of
the arms laid down were taken possession of and
brought to Baum, but some of the Indians at
tempted a rescue, when a battle ensued, one
hundred and thirty Apaches were killed, and all
prospects of peace blasted again,
DISASTERS.
Accident on the Pennsylvania Rail
road.
[From the Lancaster Intelligencer, of the 16th.)
The Philadelphia Express passenger train, due
in this city at thirty-eight minutes after one
o'clock this morning, met with an accident op
posite Stewart's drove yard, which might have
been of a very serious character, , but which, for
tunately, resulted without injury to any per
son except the fireman on the engine, who
was slightly scalded. It seems that two
horse drovers, for whom some car loads of
home had arrived last night, went out
with' four hired nen to unload the cars,
widen were standing on Stewart's siding A
number of cars were standing on the siding
which required to be moved before the horse ears
could be unloaded, and the hired men who went
out with the drovers undertook to move them
themselves. Peter Mulhattan, the man em
ployed by 31:. Stewart to take charge of the yard,
being in bed, but living adjacent to the yard,
the watchman at the locomotive works warned
them that they had better call him up, but they
refused to do so. 31ulhattan, however,hearing the
.noise made by moving the cars, got up, and
coming down to the siding, endeavored to pre
vent the party from changing the position of the
cars, his apprehension being that, as there were a
lot of cars to be loaded this morning With cattle,
they would be moved so far as to make it trou
blesome to bring them back. They refused to
obey him, however, and he went to 31r. Stewart's
residence and called him up. Mr. S. had nearly
reached• the yard when the accident took
,place. It seems that the brakes were
taken off the cars on the siding, and when
'they Were pushed down the track they
"went with such force as to Iran over the stop
,block, and the first car, when the night train
came along, projected from the siding nearly half
way across the main track. The consequence
Tway
that the smokestack of the engine was
knocked overboard, and the engine was other
wise badly damaged,althoughit ran on for several
?hundred yards before the exhaustion of the steam,
'which escaped from the broken valves, brought
it to a stand. Several of the burthen, cars on the
siding were entirely demolished, bat were forte;nately thrown off from the track by the collision
with the engine, so that no damage
. was done to the passenger cars, - except to ono
:sleeping car, the glass's the "windows of which
was arioroken onion one side, and the steps and

Mrs Dickens's Farewell Reading.
[From to-days New York Tribune.]
Mr. Dickens has read for the last time in
America. As we write these words, the' tones
of his voice have scarcely died away; the tiling
presence of his genius still warmly enkindles -the
hearts of his hearers. At such a moment, joy
and sorrow naturally blend—joy. in the fullness
of his splendid success; sorrow, in the thought
that the loved and admired artist will be semi
and beard no more. Such a moment is,naturally,
one of extreme emotion. Happily the voice of
eriticism may be silent. Its claims have
been satisfied ; its duty has been
done. Only the voice of honest admiration need
now be heard. Mr. Dickens has endeared him
self to us in every possible way; as an author, by
his humanity, Integrity, and goodness, directing
the nee of great natural gifts; as a reader, by his
perfect honesty and simplicity, in conveying to
us the comic and pathetic creatio of his art;
and as amen by his frankness, his gentleness, his
modesty, and his whole-hearted response to our
sympathetic greeting.

moned him to say Farewell. What he said is
hereto appended; and we have only to add that
his beautiful words were said with equal grace
and tenderness:
Ladies and Grntlemen.—The shadow of one
word has Impended over me all this evening, and
the time has come st last when the shadow must
fail. ' It is hat'a.vesify short one, bit tkd weight
ofsuch things. 14 not. Measured by their leng.th;
and two much - shorter wordis express the whole
realm of our human existence. When I was
reading Copperfleld" here last Thurs
day • night , I felt that there was more than
significance for me in Mr. Pcggotty's de.
' claration; "My future life lies over the sea."
And when I closed this book just now, I felt
keenly that I was shortly to establish such an
alibi as would have satisfied even the elder Mr.
Weller himself. Laughter.)_ The relations that
have been set up between ria in this place—rela
tions sustained on my side, at least, by the most
earnest devotion of myself to my task; sus
tained by yourselves, on your side, by the
readiest sympathy and kindliest acknowledg
ment—must now be broken forever. But I
entreat you to believe that in passing from my
sigh; you will not pass from my memory. I
shall often, often recall you as I see you now,
equally by my Winter fire, and in the green,
English Summer weather. I shall never recall
you as a mere public audience, but rather as a
hest of personal friends, and ever with the
greatest gratitude, tenderness, and considera
tion. Ladies and gentlemen, I beg to bid you
farewell. And I pray God bless you, and God
bless the land in which I have met you. Great
applause, the audience rising, and with waving
handkerchiefsand loud voices cheering the dis
tinguished reader till he had passed fromthe
room. I
We should add that Mr. Dickens was,last even
ing, suffering from illness, which, though it did
not the least mar the fervency and the thorough
art of his readings : evidently caused him great
personal inconvenience. The following certifi
cate—which speaks for itself—was distributed in
the hall:
"I certify that Mr. Dickens is suffering 'from
neuralgic affection of the right - foot, probably
occasioned by great fatigue In a severe winter.
But I believe that he can read to-night without
much pain or inconvenience (his mind being set
on not disappointing his audience), with the aid
of a slight mechanical addition to his usual ar
rangements. ' • FORDYI 'F: BARKER, M. D."
The reading stand was beautiful with flowers—
the gifts of friends. One wreath came from Bos
ton, arriving the course of the reading. It
was fit that Nature's best adornments should em
bellish a scene of which every element was lovely,
and of which ever-remembrance will be forever
sweet and gracious.

4 611 toe s He Love Her,
A new comedy by Falconer, entitled Does lie
Love Me?. was produced at the Arch Street The
atre last evening . . Mr. Falconer's former essays
in dramatic literature have not been so happy
that we were led to expect any remarkable ex
cellence in his latest comedy, but it was neverthe
lees a disappointments"-it has even less merit
than other of the author's productions: The
plot is so obvious that it can be readily compre
hended by a single glance at the play-bill,
where "Lord Mowbray" is announced as
appearing as "Mr. Leigh," and the, latter
as assuming the former character. The
lord takes his friends name in'
order to better test the qualities of an heiresa
whom he is about to address; and the heiress, by,
a most extraordinary and impossible coincidence,
and for the purpose of proving the lord, induces
her impecunious cousin to represent her, while
she assumes the said cousin's personality herself.
The consequence of all this is, that matters are
considerably mixed for awhile; , , but, the ultimate
result isjust what might have been expected—the
disguised lord tumbles in love with the fictitious
cousin, and Mr. Leigh the sham lord, does the
same foolish but inevitable thing with the sup
posed heiress.
All this is not new, and not intrinsically
amusing, but in the hands of a competentplay
wright, it might be made the groundwork tor an
entertaining drama. Mr. Falconer does not
possess the precise amount of talent required for
the purpose. There are three other characters
biltbe play beside those mentioned: "Mr. Vande
lent." the ponderous papa; "Mr. Bubble." a law
yer's clerk,apparently snatched inadvisedly from
some training school for feeble-minded youths;
and "Mrs. Comfort," a very proper old house
keeper. With this material and opportunity the
dramatist has sot produced a single original
conception of character; a solitary effective situ
ation, or a bit of lively and amusing dialogue.
In this latter particular especially is the comedy
deficient. The characters indulge in pro
longed and Intensely stupid conversations
upon the stage, without any other apparent ob
ject than the murder of time, so that the three
acts may be made of exactly the same length,
and that the curtain may fall at the expiration of
the proper periods. This it does, but not, as
usual, when a climax has been reached, but when
the, dramatis person , ' have about exhausted their
conversational resources, and the audience abso
lutely require relief, which =tat either come in
the shape of "music by the band," or in refresh
ing slumber. The play is,, in fact, smothered in
talk, and the author has managed to entangle
the sense in the language in so many instances
that it is often difficult to perceive his meaning,
if he has any.
Moreover, the play is full of absurd improba
bilities. Exaggeration is perhaps a necessary
peculiarity of the drama, but utter impossibility
is not. The mirror that is held np to Nature may
magnify the picture, but ft has no business to be
a prism which will present a dozen more fea
tures than Nature can possibly have.
In this play "Mr. - Bubble" a lawyer's clerk
comes to "Mr. Vandeleur's" house to give him
some important information of a business nature.
Instead of doing this, as any sane man would, he
actually takes up his abode in the building, and
spends his time fooling around making love pro
miscuously to the housekeeper and the "com
panions," and behaving himself generally like
a man suffering simultaneously from St. Vitus's
dance and idiocy. Those of the audience who
felt any interest in the play last evening, expe
rienced an intense desire to get up and 'Mc this
youth out, or lock him in the garret and lose the
key. That he should introduce himself into a
gentleman's parlor, without announcing his busi
nese, and play the fool in such an outrageous
manner,is beyond the pale of probability'. As
the Minnesotan said when he returned" from. iho
East and found his house burned,and his wife and
children scalped and destroyed in the flames:
" This is too ridiculous; too ridiculous:"
It seems unlikely also, that a managing papa,
who was anxious that his daughter should marry
the visiting lord, would consent to an arrange
ment by which the said bloated aristocrat is in
duced to believe the poor relative the heiress, to
pay her assiduous attention, and to fall in love
with her.
Beie,g intensely republican, we are, of course,
especially opposed to distinctions of rank, but
we have not so poor an opinion of English noble
men as to believe one of them would do as "Lord
Mowbray" does in this play—deliberately insult
a lady in her own house, by giving her the cut
direct. The scions of aristocracy usually have
good manners, even if, as It is popular to believe,
their morals are bad. It seems unlikely also,that
even a contriving father would give a man he
had known but an hour, to understand that he
expected him to fall in love with his daughter,
but it is just as probable as the arrangement in
this play by which the aforesaid aristocrat is
made to do that very thing, and to ascertain the
astonishing fact that in a very brief space or
time, the maiden has learned through the medium
of "a jealous pang," to love him to distraction.
It is cad to make such an observation, but it
seems necessary to conclude from this play that
the author was either driven to his wits end to
obtain material for its construction, or ho is very
illy acquainted with the usages of polite society.
The acting last night was of the best, Mr.
Craig particularly made the most of the silly part
of "Bubble." Ills conception of the character was
that which made It most presentable. He did all
that could have been done with such unworthy
material. Mrs. Drew played with her usual
spirit, and vivacity. Mrs. Creese had a thankless
part, which required nothing more than the
graceful presence that she possesses. Mr. Everly ,
performed with great skill and judgement. Mrs.
Thayer was of course goOd, anti so was Mr.
Mackey. The excellent acting alone can save the
play, and as such a good company as that of the
Arch cannot be found in every city, we venture to
say that " Does He Love Me ?" will not create
any excitement throughout the country, and the
question will be answered respecting the drama
itself with an emphatic "No." .
The English Opera.
Considering the inclemency of the weather last
evening, the Riehings Opera Company have no
reason to be dissatisfied with the size of the au
dience which greeted them at the Academy. of
Music. Indeed, both from the numbers and the
enthusiasm of the persons present, it is only fair
to conclude that the popularity , of this excellent
company is increasing rather than ) waning. The
opera chosen for the initiatory performance was
the old favorite, Martha, and the cast was
the same as upon the occasion of its last presen
tation here by this company. Of the excellence
of the performance it is hardly necessary to
speak. Most of our readers are familiar with it;
but we may say that it Is distinguished now as it
always has been by an exact and careful fidelity
to the text, while, at the same time, all the rich,
sensuous effects of which the music is capable
were given. This evening Wallace's Maritana
will be given with a cast including Miss Rich
ings Mrs. Seguin, Messrs. Campbell, Castle,
reales and others.

BY JOHN 0. worrmat
I did but dream. I never knew
What charm our sterneet emmon word.
Was never yet the eky so blue,
Was never earth so white before.
Till now I never saw the glow
Of sunset on yon hills of snow; , m t. •
And never learned the bough's deslgiss •
Of beauty in its leafless lines. • - •
Did ever'such a morning break • •
As that my eastern windows see?
Did ever such a moonlight take
Wierd photographs of shrub and tree ?
hang ever bells do wild and feet
The music of the winter street ?
Was ever yet a sound by half
kio merry as yon schoolboy's laugh ?
O Earth ! with gladness overfraught
No added charm thy face bath found;
Within my bean the change is wrought,
My footsteps make enchanted ground.
From conch of pain and curtained, room
Forth to thy light and air I come,
To find in all that meets my eyes
The freshness of a glad surpr is e.
Fair seem these winter days, and soon
Shall blow the warm west winds of spring',
to set the unbound rills in tune '
And hither urge the bluebird's wing.
The vales shall laugh In flowers, the woods
Grow misty green with leafing buds. -
And violets and windflowers sway
Against the throbbmgkeart of May.
Break forth, my lips, in praise, and own
The wiser love severely kind;
Since, richer for its chastening grown,
I see, whereas I once Was blind.
The world, 0 Father ! bath not wronged
With loss the life by thee prolonged;
But still, with every added year,
More beautiful thy works appear!
As thou hast made thy world Without,
Make thou more fair my world within;
Shine through its lingering clouds of doubt ;
Rebuke its haunting shapes of sin;
Fill, brief or long, my granted span
Of life with love to thee and man;
Strike when thou wik the hour of rest,
But let my last days be my best !
