President Johnson nod Senator
Sumner. ; ' A
[Washington Correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial.] *
There is a good story to?d about Senator
Sumner's last visit to tho. ir'resident, which I
cannot withhold, because it. shows that Kr.
Johnson inherit?, to some estent, the peculiar
mental traits that enabled, .ais lamented pre
decessor f o look upon the brightest side of
every picture, , and frequently to sugar-coat
the.bitterest othis "official pills, with a pleas
ant witticism that tickled the ear, ?and yet
was pregnant of political philosophy worthy,
of-Alexander Hamilton. Mr. Sumner called '
on th? President a few evenings since, and
was immediately invited to a conference with
him. Mr. Johnson asked him how he felt,
and how he liked the political horizon. Mr.
S. inhaled several cobie feet of the ambient
air, laid his hand upon that part of his pater
garment which covers other men's hearts,
exalted a pond?rons ?hgb. rolled his luminous
visual orbs, and said that he felt heavy and
sad. Mr. Johnson naturally inquired tho
cause of his distress, and was answered that
the condition of tho freedmen was ominous
Df-great'Cvil for-the country. -". We must do
something for-these freedmen, or the war
?vi Ll have been fought in vain. The .whites
af the South aro as disloyal, as ever and never
:eassd denouncing the Union/'
The President smiled and'told the'Massa
jhosetts Senator to be of goid ch??r, that
natters were getting along very well, not
perhaps as fast asUwe would like, but aa fast
isalTthings considered' we "had a. right to
ixpect And -as for. deaonnciug.the Hnion,
Lam..v.ery sorry to say. that's.true to a great
iXtent in the South,, but you know. waive
>ccn doiny thal in Massachusetts too." The
vtight of the last clause was duly felt, and
ivoked a smile from the cavernous depths of
he despondent heart of the champion of
'reedos:, who next remarked that Southern
vhit.es were continually insulting and abusing j
he blacks in the lately rebellious States.
'Well," said the President, "I know that's j
rue', too,' but it you'll read the papers, you'll ^
rod-tbat-op North, white men are very often ,
ound abusing and insulting one another." t
^Yes," said Mr. --, " but in thc South ?
t is th* infernal spirit of oligarchy and cast
hat doe? it- Its nothing but an unjust'pro- ,
qdice of race, that must be exterminated." j
Tho-President was not to be beaten, even [
rith this sago and philanthropic suggestion, t
ur he replied in tho twinkling or an eye, t
hat there was a good deal'of this prejudice ?.
f race up North ; as was roapifeft from the t_
i:\tred against the Irish and Germans exhib?- r
ed every now and then, ., . j.
The heavy hearted Senator soon found that
he President was moro than h match Lr him, j
nd his lugubrious concern "fi r thc freedmen r
ave way to a more cheerful spirit, which ad- jj
litted of thc discussion of more interesting
jpics..

Strange Affair in St. Loni?. I j
The St, Jpuis pewGPrqt, qt the 3d inat-i
ontaius tuc fallowing :
Charles Moritz ls an unsophisticated bache
>r*of thirty .?-ix. Iluving served a full torin
i the army, where ho was successful in
odging the rebel bullets, he considered him
'll equal to almost any nmrrflnnnr tm A
rk-atal-.? jnCrjCtwimlf wr?f"
Moritz, therefore, called on his friend,
co. Walther, who keeps a saloon at the
jrner of Morgan and Twenty First streets,
nd offered George fifty dollars to get bim a | ]\
good, plump, fat and docile wife." George
ad no license as a matrimonial broker, but
. being Christmas time, he thought be would*|
lay a little joke at the expense of poor
'barley. Ile acquainted several other friends
nth bis intention, and they entered into the
jnspirftcy with good will.
Among tu? friends consulted bj "rV'alther
.ere Joe Quttwald and Anton Jorgen. Joe
ad a brother who' was a smooth faced, rosy
beekod boy, fat aud plump-as a head of |
ttbbage, and full of mischief. Joe's brother
?as dressed- up in the gorgeous, array of a I
ride, and' a grave looking Hessian was en- 1
aged to play the part of Justice of the
>eace, and tje tbs nuptial knoi.
Morita was delighted arith the appearance
f his "?'bride." He considered that he had
btained "a great bargain," and at once ac
epted her as his better half. A room in
Walther's house was nicely scrubbed by
orgen, and there the marriage corcmony
ras performed. Moritjs was jn ecstatics. -\N
oon as the noose was fairly around bis neck,
e gave the "'Squire" $5 for his trouble, [I
resented $5 to Jorgen for scrubbing the
oom, and made young Gottwald a present of j
;15 as a bridal gift.
The liberality of tho happy man did not
top hore. He sent out and invited a Hurri
er of acquaintances to the frolic, and spent
?75 for wises, cakes, and cigars. The spree
ras kept up until a late hour, and when the
redding guests' at last took their departure, j ]
foritz waa informed that the sister of bis
ride was vcrysick, and desired Mrs. Moritz 11
o sit np with her that night ; it would be
?ken as a favor if ho would remain at his
lld quarters until morning, when be could
ame aud take bis wife home.
Morita reluctantly agreed to this arranger
Dent, but fearing something might be wrong,
te demanded of the Justice his marriage
?ertificate. He was handed a card containing (
he following word.? : " Howard of nierit, pre- 1
enled.to .Louis Feel 1er,, by M. .E. Sccor, I
eacher." With iii i s (Leu mc ut in his pocket,
if.-ritz fetired to bedl thanking his good for
une that he had at last procured ? youngand
landsome wife. He slept but little, being I
feverish *ifb anxiet)', "and fearful'that he
aroald wake up and find it all adrcam.
.tMforilss.was not a sluggard the next morn- | ]
rrg, bat, bright and early, he arose and bas
;ena*d over to Walther's house to fetch his
jridet. He-was informed that there was no
such person lucr?, and- after going nearly
:rnzy, and searching all ovor the house, he.
?.as told that he had been made thc victim
ti a practical joke- For two days poor
foritz was contine!! to his room, refusing to
iat'Wdimk, and disdaining all offers Of con
wlation;; 'Ho "now" meditated revenge, .'and
look th? proper cou rsa lo ob tain it. He called' j
;he police force, and officers Kosseau, Dickson
ind Vola ape arrested George. Walther, An ton
Jorgen and . Joe " Gottwald,., on a charge of j
jbtaiaing money under false pretences. The
asgas Justice could not be found, and Joe's
?ronmg brolbftr, the ''bride,-" was also missing.
Tho three mah were taken to the call abo lise,
iud will be examined before the Recorder

the fact that a practical joke can b? carried
Loo far, and they w?H'be lucky if they.escape

THE RIJ?R?SEKTATIVf: *^OM^HA\ltT0?*. .
" In early days, old Nat Harrison waa elec- j
ted to the legislature from this section," said
an, old fellow, ss wa w?r?r:if?T^??ted aro
thelittle hotel atMcLanesb'or?ogh,.Hamilton
CountyrIllinoi8. . ,*>.-;,.- ;
" Old Nat waa a regular brick-he , was
elected jost because there-,was no; one to run
in opposition to him. Our country waa rather
bad off for"; intelligent p?c*I? f? those days
? few days after old Nat ljad gone to Spring"
field, to attend to the an?ps of Jua. office, I
happened to be there also, on some business
of a private character, and thinking he would
be glad to hear from the* folks- at home,' I
coneluded to call on him a*|theH'Prairie;' and
enquire after his health."^^JIr "fc
.Wye beep well. Tom}'',iwd;hej''' but t got
awfully scared the first night J staid in this
darned place." .;. . ...
" How was that?" I injqircd. ? < . '
" Well," said Nat, ? I'lHeU yon all about"
it. You see that fellow behind the. counter
-the fellows here (.airh?m7?^ I
told him I wanted to see ray bed, so I'd know
where to sleep when I'd come in after a while.
He took me np atairs-to a little room, and
said I could sleep there,-and" then he went
down. I took good notica.of it-brown door
with yellow streaks here and there, a=d a
white airthen l?ck-handle^Fstart?d down, a.
thiakin' about this, and I. Wouldn't look at ho
Dther door, for fear Fd kinder get 'em mixed
ip in my head, and forget which was raine
" About twelve o'clcckjthat njght, I .came
n with a half-g^owin' hummia' ia my head,
ind the very first thing 1 kund at the top
)f the stairs was my identical door, with the
fellow streaks and white lock-handle. Good
lays'T/aod in I lumbers. ' "I walks up te the
jed and what do you ?taint'?*' Why r found.
)no of your long legglfl ^lack-whiskered
town fellows in it fast ?feepr ;I" takes him
3y the beard, and rears him up on his end,
..nd gives him a short sarrdiri*- fells him to
eavo as quick as double triggers, or Td:be
msscd if I wouldn't kick" him down stairs ;
ells him I.don't want to do it- muher, for I
vas a member of the- Legislatur, and Hep
?esentative from HaBi?j?p,.. but it I got. to
ightisg he'd find me to bc a.fall team.
Thc fellow looked awfully .scared, and
rithout saying a.word he got up, very hum
)!e like, and started for. fis''dry gooda which
tung on a chair up in'on?corner. T sot down
he light and begun te undress f and says I
o him, q>aw on fchprn dntllf and toddle from
tere, er I'll be darned if:lV^{turning round
o look tierce at. him) sees him. a comm' at
ne with oue of . tuet doddroddest butcher-,
tnives in the world.' r^ell, ? thought IA Nat,
ou've got yourself into' a tight place, b>
ingol and so we began ?o"ln'mber about the
oom like the very nation*" Here I went, and
icre he came. At list Pgot between him and
he door and out I shot/^s .
'"This beats all,' paid I ; representative
f the legislature treated in this way. Iwcnb
own stairs and told the feller behind the
ounter that sojae. ?m.jm. lim room"
<' No, I gqess rot,!' said he, ? perhaps th
there

Thinks I perhaps therd may be some mis
ike, and so I goes bac?r^When I got up to

pened the eighth door and went in, feeling
urtaia that was the one nicked out for pe.
L candle vas buming on the table, by the
ght of which I saw that somo person was
f bed. Not feeling inclined to kick up
nother muss, I concluded to crnwl in with
im and say nothing about it. Io a very
hort time I was iu bed aud ready to go to
lecp. I had not been in bed long before the
oor opened, and a young man and woman
ame into the room aiid took 8e&tf' by the
andlc'PtyOf'.
" Something else on band, Nat, thonght I
j myself, but let 'em rip,"
Thoy looked vory uor?ous at first, but it
nally wore oil, and they got to chatlin' very
jvingly, and to huggin' and kissin' a little.
wa6 delighted with the perLrmance, and
ho't the feller in bed with me ought to see*
t and enjoy the fun too, sp J whispered to
" Say, Captain-old hoss, jusUook op."
They both started op like a' lectricity
hockin' mill bad touched 'em, and they
eemed to be orfully scared, till the gal said
t waa only the wiud blowing agjn the winder.
They s?op got tp higgin' ana kissin' again,
nd as I could not rouse my friond I thought
'd just have a little fun to myself. 1 Slips I"
ays I, "jest as they were fetching lipa te
ether, and up they sprung like ligbtmn'and
loped for the door, bot as fortune would have
t, the young fellow dropped the key and
ouldn't get out.
" Never miud," said I, " its fun for me as
veil as you. I love to see such thing.; go om"
This seemed to scare them more than ever,
t was rich-too rich to enjoy alone, and i
letermined to wake my bed-fellow. I slapped
tim on tho chin-it was cold as ice
Thunder and St. Louis, Nat, said I, you're
n bed with a dead man, and.without-waiting
o consider the inattor I sprung to tho floor,
rhe youngsters gave a loud squall, fetched
Lgin the door, and I pitched with them, which
.esulted in smashin' the darned thit-g open.
rVitb?ut wiitin for formalities we alfbolted
br the ?tairs. ' Hearing the 'ricket, tho laud
Ord, who occupied a room further back, came
jolting after us. I couldn't pass them, how
iver, for1'they were frightened out of their
leoses, having no-idea but that I iras the de
based in close pursuit. In this condition
ve all tumbled promiscuously down stairs-to
,he bar-room. < . 3
