EX-PEESIDEHT JOHNSOH'a SPEECH, The Bopularity of Andrew Johnson was fairly tested in Memphis last eve ning. Out of a thousand citizens who listened to his threadbare speech, about one hundred applauded the sentiments exnressed by the great Com jooner. His reception in Memphis was anything but an ovation, nor was he reeeiveti Dy tne reoresentative men of the city. A fe personal friends, and a little kDot of de feated politicians, who just now believe it popular to rail at conventions, clus tered around him; and it must nave oeen apparent to Mr. Johnson that whatever adventitious popularity he ever naa in West Tennessee has long since departed. The speech delivered was a rehaBh of those delivered at Nashville, Ualiatin and Columbia. It was a dreary disserta tion on national politics, into which was drawn the unfortunate Englishman Sir John Trevor, who set an example to Grant as a gift-taker. Mr. Johnson com- . merited on the public debt the rights of States parties the homestead law and the strangling of Mrs. Surratt. His pic ture of the latter was graphic in the ex treme. You could see the armed mob of Thugs at Washington the defenseless and innocent Toman the grim Presi dent in his executive lair the bloody military commission the spurning of Miss Surratt from the door of the Executive mansion; and the crimsoned curtain fell on the Johnsonian order overriding the writ of habeas cor pus granted by Judge Wylie. You saw the choked woman whose body, sewed np in a sack, swayed to and fro beneath the gallows. Even the lifeless body of the woman was withheld, by that insatiable malice which pursues the dead, from the hands of grief-stricken friends, and was consigned to earth in the jail-yard at Washington. Mr. Johnson tells us all this, and more. He referred to the ter ror at Washington; that his own life was threatened; that the Attorney General (on the testimony of the convicted per jurer Sanford Connover) gave it as his ppiuion that the woman should be tried by military commission just such a commission as has been spilling the blood of French men, women and chil dren on the plains of Sartory; tlAt Mrs. Surratt was fairly tried, convicted and executed. Mr. Johnson adroitly endeav ors to impress the public with the idea that Mrs. Surratt was guilty. Yes, he also endeavored to impress the people with the idea that Mr. Jefferson Davis was likewise guilty of the Lincoln mur der when in April, 1G5, he issued a proclamation stating that from evi dence in the possession of the Bureau of Military Justice, it ap peared that Jefferson Davis was impli cated in the assassination of President Lincoln, and a reward of $100,000 was offered for his capture, etc. Mr. John son's speech was a lamentable failure, and has lost him votes in Teuuessee. His strength in Shelby county can he estimated by the meeting last evening, where no enthusiasm existed, and where only one-tenth of his auditors indorsed the palpable sophistries be expressed. His strength in Shelby county is just one-tenth of the voting population, ex cluding the Radical vote. From to-day the Johnson element becomes weaker and weaker, and the political strength of that true Terineiseean, Frank Cheat ham, will grow with wonderful rapidity. Andy Johnson will be badly and de servedly defeated in West Tennessee, and if the people of Middle Tennessee do their duty the Johnsonian air-bubble will be exploded forever. The Geneva Arbitration Council, it is telegraphed, has awarded fifteen mil lions damages to the ' United States. The amount claimed by the Grant Gov ernment extended to hundreds of mil lions, but it has dwindled down to an insignificant sum beneath the examina tion of the arbitrators. Wbat will Grant do with the money, and which of his relatives will receive it? are questions ciobt important to the public. THE THBEX 1XFEB0B8. An exchange, in noticing the imperial caucus, gives the pedigree of the Emper ors: The meeting of the Emperors of Germany, Austria and Russia is regarded with much interest in Europe. That there is a political significance in it there can be little doubt; but what that significance is, nobody is prepared to say. Each one of the Emperors has in view his pet scheme for strengthening his empire, and though ho may not be able to carry it out entirely during the nresent interview, yet he undoubtedly hopes to advance it somewhat. Francis jcnK I.. EmDeror of Austria and King of Hungary, is forty-two years old. He succeeded his uncle Ferdinand I in lflja whn abdicated in his favor. The " i nresent reigning family descended from Count Rudolph of Hapsburg, who was elected Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 1272. William I, Emperor af Germany, was born March 22, 1797, He was appointed Regent of the King dom of Prusria during the mental ill nesa of his brother in 1801. In 1861 he ..cnoW the throne. During the late Pranrn-Prussian war he was crowned Emperor of Germany at Versailles Alexander II, Emperor of Russia, ib fiftv-four vears old. He is the son of Nicholas I and Princess Charlotte of Rus sia. He succeeded his father in 1851. The Government of Russia is an absolute hereditary monarchy, and the Emperor's will alone is law. These three great po tentates hold the balance of power in Europe in their hands. They are dis trustful of each other, and at the same time entertain fear of each other, all 01 which has rather a wholesome effect upon the policies which they pursue. m HenrtRekd, the Washington journal ist recently assaulted by Judge Lewis Dent, pours hot shot into the Grant Dent family iu lively style. He says: "You would hardly be made to believe, even if it were describable, the extent to which the Grant-Dent connection per vades everything, from the departments of the government, through the courts of justice, down to the minutest transaction to which it is possible for any one ol them to continue to attach an interest. To say that General Grant is bo party to this is preposterous. ' He is the head of the family nominally and actually, in fact and in spirit He is of the same order, species, variety; no better nor different He is, accidentally, the lion, to which they are the jackals; the shark, to which they are the pilot-fish; the fence,' to which they are the pick-pock-ets and burglars. ' He is the Fagin they the Toby Crackits and Artful Dodgers." Sikce the invasion of Memphis by ex- President Johnson has turned ont to be a fiasco and barren of practical results, the programme heretofore decided upon to get np a Johnsonian Senatorial and Legislative ticket will probably be aban doned. Self-sacrificing gentlemen could no donbt be found to accept positions on the ticket, but the "ring" fears the damaging effect such a piebald ticket would have on Mr. Johnson's chances. The unfortunate candidate en that ticket ould be politically " Surratted " by the people ly way of enforcing the dootrine of " retributive justice." Mr. Johnson has found out that as to this part of his military record it cannot yet be said as inTannhauser But tlm. wor on, The wonder wore away, round absence orepl i The weed of custom, mad the stranded on Became at hut a memory and no more. Germaxt is making gigantic efforts to place herself on an equal naval footing with England, France and Russia. When the ships actually begun are com pleted, Germany will have war fleet of sixty-two vessels, with an armament of five thousand guns. Bismarck, like all great conquerors, is ambitious to smse n the field in which he has not won his victories. Naval powers, however, like poets, are born, not made; or at least they are built np slowly, and many years must elapse before the fleets of France, Germany or Rnssia will be as efficient as that of Great Britain. The population of Jerusalem is esti mated at eighteen thousand, and is com posed of Jews, Christians and Mahomet ans. An American colony which was established some time since at Joppa has boou starved out and replaced by a band of German fanatics . numbering two hundred souls. The road to Jordan has been repaired by a lady whose name is not given, but the road is still a hard one to travel we believe in consequence of the swarms of Bedouin who infest that region. , Thr " Three Emperors " are holding a caucus at Berlin with reference to the future. A colemporarjr suggests that the three exiled sovereigns ought Iff meet sometrbere and do likewise. The three unfortunates are Napoleon, of France; Isabella, of Spain, and Fran tti, u( Naples. The terrible and mys terious Internationalists are holding a convention at Hague, and ars discuss ing the best means ( disposing, jn a summary manner, of all royal person ages. It is with regret that the Msipphis friends of that mercurial orator, George Francis Train, leu a that ha has abau doned the Presidential contest and has gone to Europe. The cause of this retreat is the disgust conceived by him for politics wbila in attendance on the Duncan-O'Conorite Convention at Louis ville. Train goes to Europe to head the International and Communistic move ments, provided he can secure the dan gerons position. Ths Radicals have carried Maine by a reduced majority a fact showing the growing popularity of the Greeley move ment and the decay of the Grant power. The elections on the eighth of next month, iu Indiana and Pennsylvania, will tell the tale and foreshadow the re sult of the Presidential election in November. Thb committee of Bourbon pilgrims, appointed by the Louisville Convention to beg Charles O'Conor to accept the Presidency, has not as yet been able to Induce hint to (receive the barren honor of a nomination.- The committee is per sistent and hopes to be able to return to Louisviile'in a few days with a favorable answer. - - Tub New York World of the 9th pub lishes in full General Cheatham's ad dress to the people of Tennessee.

Gazette is a close observer, and has been car-riding with an eye to the inter esting. He tells the story of a love- making couple whom ae met en route, and as a sample of some of the sweet ness on the cars it is amusing. Un the Orange road was a newly married con- pie. They got on at Arrington depot in Nelson. They wore billing o,nd booing all the way, to the infinite disgust of the females -and the amusement of tne other sex. I greatly admired one favor ite posture. He was setting at the win dow and aba was anxious to see the country, and leaned across his knees to lookout. Of course be wasn't going to let her fall oat and be left, so he got a good hold around ber body, and never broke his grip for an hour. It seemed sometimes like the pressure was about seventy-live pounds to the square inch, then he would slack up. She was ' mighty " afraid of dropping oqt of the window, for she never whimpered, even when he tightened his arms to the last notch; that is, when going across rivers and ugly high banks. After she had seen tne country enough, they began to whisper to eaoh otbur, and after eoiih whisper would bite an ear. holding it a little while and "chawing like puppies do your fingers, in fun. lie would make out sometimes she had bit him too hard and tousle her for it. The tousling was the best part of tbe per fprmance. . he knew she had dune wrong in the auricular matter, and ought to be tousled. Most of (be men in tbe car thought so, and if she hadn't submitted they were ready to help him in this act of justice. Several of them stood pp every now and thep, to be ready if their services were needed Some vee (attested to spca an extent in suppressing, w:th marked and repres sive punishment, this unlawful compres sion of the male accoustic organ between the incisors of tbe fete ale, that they first refreshed themselves by passing to tbe ice-cooer and swallowing deep draughts, and thea returning to the neighborhood where the sutierer was avenging himself, keeping their arms in position for immediate Hse In case of emergency.

It is said that Joe Jefferson went into, a New York bank for the purpose of getting tbe money on a check drawn to his order, and was informed by the cashier that the check could not be cashed witboat theidentification of the gentleman presenting it At last Jefferson turned to the teller and said in the tones of Rip Van Winkle, " If my little dog Schneider was here he would know me." Tbe effect was electrical, and the check was immediately honored Apropos of this story, tbe sugKestioa has been made that if tbe following per sons hud tbenisolver in a similar pre dicament, Nilsson, in presenting her check in payment for corner, lots, need only warble forth, "Way Down Upon the Swanee River" in order to secure immediate attention; Brookhonse Bowler miirht crive a line or so of " Meet Me in the Gawdun, Maw-ed;" a few blasts of the " Whirlwind " from Levy a cornet would cause the cash to be produced at once; Mr. Owens need only to lay down his cheek and say, "Jes to, Judge; T.nnilU Western miirht crv. " Me che-ild. me che-ildren;" Pauline Markham might cut her foot on the counter; and tawin I'nrro.t need onlv rush into the bank seize the teller by the throat and yell " Liar and slave." No doubt the money would be instantly forthcoming. " Sketch or Pero Hyaelatho. Charles Loyeon Hyacintbe was born at Orleans, France, in 1821. On arriving at a proper age be was sent to ine uni versity at Pau, where he completed his education. Alter aavmc nmaueu ui ihpnWiriil studies he was. in 1853, or dained a priest of the Roman Catholic Church. He subsequently entered the convent of the Barefooted Carmelite Friars, at Lyons, and became a member of tnat oroer, in connection wuu wumu he remained until the 20th of September, 180!). when he formally left it and the flhuroh of Rome, as appeared by his letter of defense, published at the mo ment and subsequently, ms eloquence aa & nreacher in Lyons soon began to attract attention, and crowds flocked to hear -him. During tne Advent or ante-Christmas) season of 18(13 he preached in Bordeaux, and in the Lenten season of 18C4 at Perigueux. In 1864 he was called by the Archbishop of Paris to preach in the Church of the Madeleine, with which request he com plied, and subsequently he preached a course of advent sermons in the Cathe dral of Notre Dame. It was this series of discourses that gave him the brilliant reDutation he enjoys as a pulpit orator. The beauty of his eloquence and the boldness ot his utterances attracted uni versal attention, and whenever he held forth thousands of the most learned and intellectual of the Parisians, as well as strangers, crowded into the great cathe dral to listen to his sermons. Father Hyacinthe visited the United States. He landed in New York from the steamship Periere on the 18th of Oc tober. 1809, his advent and after clerical exertions marking a peculiar epoch in the history of the Uhnrch ol America. Manv of the Roman Catholic clergy in the Old World and the New, it is Baid, sympathized and still sympathize with him in his effort against episcopal rule as it is sometimes administered. He was " prohibited," so it it termed, by his quondam monastio superiors, but has outlived the eonseqnences. Monsignor Felix Dnpanlonp, the distinguished Bishoo of Orleans, reproved him in a circular, which was concluded by an in vitation on the part of His Lordship, re- uesting the rere to retnrn to tbe told. o this he replied as follows: Paris, September 20, 1569. Monseig- new. I am mucn toucneo oy tne leeung which dictated the letter you addressed to me, and I am moBt grateful for the prayers you bo kindly put up in my be half, but I cannot accept either your re nroaches or your counsels. What yon qualify as a great fault committed I call great duty accompusned. tsa pleased to accept, Monseigneur, the homage of the respectful sentiments with which I remain, in Jesus Christ and His Church, your very humble and obedient servant, BROTHER HYACINTHS. Vhat la Dirt? Old Dr. Cooper, of South Carolina, used to say to his students: "Don't be fraid of dirt young gentlemen. Wbat is dirt? Wby nothing at all offensive, hen chemically viewed. Rub a little alkali npon the dirty grease spots on your coat and it undergoes a chemical change and becomes soap; now rub it with a little water and it disappears. It is neither grease, soap, water nor dirt. That is not a very odorous pile of dirt yon see yonder; well, scatter a little gypsum over it and it is no longer dirty. Everything like dirt is worthy our notice as students of chemistry. Analyze it; it will separate into very clean elements. Dirt makes corn, oorn makes bread and meat, and that makes a very sweet young lady that I saw one of you kissing last nigbt. So after all, you were kissing dirt, particularly if she whitened her face with chalk or fuller's earth, though I may Bay that rubbing such stuff on the beautiful skin of a young lady is a dirty practice. Pearl powder I think is made of bismuth, nothing but dirt. Lord Palmerston's fine definition of dirt is ' matter in the wrong place.' Pnt it in the right place and we cease to think of it as dirt. ' ' A Mrs. Skan, residing near Smith's Landing, Atlantic county, N. J., think ing she was about to die, sent for $.3000 which she had in a savings bank, and which was the extent of her fortune, and, after giving away half of it, re duced tbe other $2300 to pulp by soaking it in water. She then began to rapidly recover, and is now a well and miserable woman. ' EXPOSITION. The Board of Directors of the Mem phis Industrial Exposition appeal to subscribers of stock to come forward and pay what they owe to the Secretary, at his office. No. 8 Jefferson street The work on the building is being retarded on account of their delinquency, and it is imDortant to have the building corn- plated in ample time. Every citiaen of Memphis is interested in the sueoess ol the Exposition, and the Hoard ol in rec tors earnestly hope their efforts will be appreciated, and that citizens who have not united iq the enterprise will volun tarily come forward and take a reasona ble atpoimt o stock, or address a note to the Secretary, who will call oa them. To insure the grand success which the Board desire, further subscriptions to the amount of ten thousand dollars are required. If that is done, there is hardly a doubt that half or all the money advanced by stockholders will be refunded from the proceeds of the first Reposition; that at Nashville having been attended by one hundred thousand visitors, which will be equaled here at least, and, at twenty-five cents, yield twenty-hve thousand dollars. The Board of Directors appeal to citikes for the necessary assistant.
