Thi ' being Cabinet clay, nene but the heads of Departments were grunt? ed an interview with the President. Were it not for the relief from daily annoyances, afforded byCabinet meet? ings, on Tuesdays and Fridays, no physical constitution, however strong, could endure the exhausting labor performed by the President of the United States. There is no olliee of the Government so burdened with responsibility and anxiety, and no niau living required to listen to such au endless recital of private griefs as unsophisticated visitors pour into thc President's ear at every public in? terview. President Johnson has few equals in industry. He rises at six, and until breakfast, which ,-s served at half-past seven, looks over thc newspapers. Immediately a ? ter break? fast he goes to the Executive apart? ments and commences the labor of the day. First there are bundles ol letters to be read and the replies dic? tated to thc Secretaries. Application? for appointments, promotions, dis* charges from the army and navy, political advice, petitions for Execu? tive clemency, and innumerable othei subjects are disposed of, but before half completed, the visitors have commenced to Hock into the ante? rooms and thrust their cards upoi! him. Pardon seekers swarm on eveiy hand. Former owners of confiscated property pace up and down before the door of the President's room, and females, with indescribable effrontery, insist upon immediate admittance. After the most important business of the morning has been disposed of the visitors are admitted one by one and the President submits himself ti the artesian process. This lasts til about half-past one or two, sometime: three o'clock, when the doors of hi apartment arc opened, and the whol< crowd admitted. At such times, Col Johnson, son of the President, o Col. Browning, thc Private Secretary stands near the President, and take memoranda as dictated by him on th cases of the visitors who succeed on another with subjects for Executiv action, like the dense throng at tit post-office window. The President' manner at such times is always plea saut, and gives confidence to the mos timid. His decisions are quick, an each individual who lays his case be fore the President learns in half dozen courteous words the final d( cisi?n. When ali have been iistene to, and the halls are once more empfa the President turns again to pape: on his table, until four o'clock, tl: hour for dinner. After dining, 1: returns to his office, and there gen rally remains until a late hour, seldoi retiring before eleven o'clock. In addition to all these duties, must be remembered that there a distinguished visitors constantly pr senting themselves. Represen tativ of Foreign Courts, Governors, Sen tors, Generals, and hundreds of less magnitude must be received, ea< having some important subject i quiring care and deliberation, whi over all towers the great and ev present problem of reconstruct io Cabinet days and the Sabbath affo three days of rest from the petty ai exhausting annoyances that beset t President, but at no time is he fr from the oppressive weight of i tioual difficulties which nov., nu than ever before, obscure the futu: [ Washinf?! n Star. ..Adams & (\>.'s Express Compa has loaned $2,000,000 of its aecun lated capital to several of the South? railroads, and has thus enabled tin to resume operations. This liberal can but be appreciated by the co inanities thus betiefitted." It strikes us that Adams & C Express is wise in its generath Somehow we have a sort of notion that this liberality will be made to }>;iy. Say, for instance, that a new Express Company called tho "Nation? al Express Company," is started under auspices thal commend it to the popular support say, in short, that it is likely to bo a formidable competitor for public favor. Is it not possible, that in view of4this pro? bable competition, some arraugc ments may have been made with the companies, that must prove highly advantageous to Adams" Express? We think Ave have heard that the new company encountered sonic difficul ties referable to this cause. We do not find fault with Adams' Express for exacting a quid j>ro qico, but we do not quite believe in thu liberality business. That sort ol' Hiing is played out, and has been for some time.
