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.
