Andy Johneon's Last Speech
The Columbia Daily Union says; t
Fx President Johnson has been again at a
bis old trade of cpccch*making. At a meet- n
ing of the mechanic*, a few days since, a), j
IU? Industrial Exposition, in Knoxvills, he
delivered one ot his charneteristie harangues,
when he took oceaeion to tell his fellow
mechanics, that oft'told-tale, of passing
through polities! life " from a village aldors
man to the highest office within the gift ol
tho people."
The ex-President is as valuable as ever,
and as uiuch at home on the stump, as he was
when " swinging round the circle" as ehiof
magistrate of a great nation.
In this last effort, Andy has gone beyond
his usual depth, and has really bit upon anew
idea.
In speaking of the system of convict labor,
he says:
I am asked how I would dispose of the eon*
victs ae the ponlttntmry system Is wrong. I
say dispensa with yonr penitentiaries; dispose
of your esavtets in some other fp. II w# ?
ean do nothing else, I would divide all offenders
into two classss. Virst, I state that I belt
eve man can he slevated physically, msntall
and morally. Than instead of asnding criniiy f
nals to tba penitentiary, where they become
the competitors with honest meobanics, 1
would dtvida all offenses in two elasses. The
first I would hang. Tba second class I would ^
deprive ? ?? to*** #i propagaimg Hi#ib

Its justico and fairness aud necessity, to pro- I

the political majority in South Carolina. It (
would wrong no one, and leave every cititeu (
with the full rights of suffrage for every other

only secure the great prineiplc of taxation and
representation united, the principle upon 1
which tho republic of the United State was
originally foundod. Now is a favorable titno I
to agitate this tnoasure before the people. It 1

cowntry la good for, nnloaa it aoavoa to bold
the world together. It it a wonder to mo that
all the people. who live wfong thla railroad
don't tarn to wiggfetaila, tadpolea and bullfrogs.
It wae Sunday, and, Mr. Editor, I do
verily believe that I aaw at leaat three hundred
and forty thoorand negroes between Columbia
and Augurta. Wa left Aogorta after
dark | fixed onreolves to have, aa we aoppoaed,
a pleaaapt night'a alcep ; hot alaa I man proposes
and woman disposes. We were lying
very quietly, and thinking of that beautiful
verse In Proverbs, " Blessed is the man -who
invented sleep." When suddenly a full elioir
of babies burst forth in a grand overture, and
mighty ehorus, whioh was moreorfal than the
noise made by two eats a courting. At one time
I thought I would rise and deliver a full lecture
on the proper management of babiea; but as my
experience was limited, I didn't. After so
.long a time, the little pledges of afTeetion got
quibt, and then eominenoed another grand
overture from the snorers, and for the first
time in my life I knew that lovely blondes did
rore, I mentally exclaimed, in the language
of 8trepbon, to bis lovely Cbloe, " Great God,
haa It come to thla I"?you can finish the
rhyme. One of the beauties, but a moat unohriatUn
anorer, was so close that I could have
raacbad out my band and almost touched bar.
" lloni soil qui nnl y ptm*." We reached
Atlanta about the cracking and breaking of
day, and from the noiso aod confusion that
deafened me, I thought that I wm in the
midst of the matter and crush of worlds. I
am positively Certain that thero was exactly
forty hotel porters a hold of my umbrella at
the same time. After extricating myself from
this dilemma, I am positively certain that I
again encountered exactly five hundred and
thirty-soven men who proposed to take eare
of me. Finally, I reached the llikimball
llouso, and registered ourself as one of the
press gaog?our authorised correspondent. I'
am fully persuaded that Atlanta is most undoubtedly
the most perfectly red-hot olty to
be found. Tbo proprietor asked us what paper
wo represented, and when told, be very
politely requested that we would allow him to
show us through the House. We were carried
to No. 5, which is tho bridal chamber. It is
composed of three rooms, all of which can be
thrown into one large room. When we stood
in the centre of those royal apartments, and
gated upon the grandeur and mngniflcenoe
around us, wo thought that possibly wc might
have been kidnapped by some Uouii, and carried
to Aladdin's Palace, and we pinched ourself
to see it it really were us. This chamber
uiuii sacredly d.dic??.j -. ur~.?. Dim
and Venus. Look at that gorgeous piece fyr
repose. The bed was all foreign ; the richest
ana most beautiful of silk and linen, brought
from foreign countries, were the coverings ; immediately
over and looking down upon the bed,
is a due perco painting of Venas and Cupid.
Tbo bureaus, chairs, tables and wardrobes are
all of tho costliest material, and mttch of it inlaid
with pare mother of pearl; the walls are
solid Freneh glass mirrors; the pyramidal
chandeliers were beautiful; statuettes and
paintings in good taste. Indeed, there is a
| rainbow beauty about the apartments which
| you can feel, but not describe. We I"
the ancient ?! ?<? now Jupiter and Juno,
and the other godi and goddesses, reveled In
their delighttnl grottoes, sipped nectar and
talked love, and we can imagine the delightfal
bymenial inspiration of the bridal fair, as with
soft glances and words of love they woo them*
selves to sleep, In this gorgeous room. Keno 1
" Ob, woman ! woman ! thou shouldyst have
few sins Of
thine own to answer for, thou art tho author
Of such a hook of follies in a man."
The building, with its turreted mansard roof,
is very imposing; it is at least twenty years
ahead of Atlanta. When I get married, I
wish some one to present the bride with a mm"
sard roof of Welsh slate, and a magnificent
hotel elevator. When you consider the tout
tniemhl* of this Illkitnhall House, you must
pronounce it a tit/ ifeitre of architectural
skill. I know you will think that I got my
hoard free.
We next took the train for Cartersvitle. Defore
we bad scarcely got comfortably seated, we
we found ourself engaged ia a pleasant e<*iver
satlon with the distinguished authoress and live
woman, Mrs.A 11. Meeker, eards were exehaag*
ed, and we were at once Intimate friends.?
What a pleasure It Is to have a hen rfront for
a traveling companion, and how unpleasant It
Is to travel with a corpse. Mrs. M., sen* ceremony,
plunged at once fn mediae res, and hr
three hours and a half I listened, most patient*
ly, to her thrilling autobiography, looked at
criticisms on ber books, read a few edltorlels
| on her great success as a lecturer. She said
