Lioyp Gar- ‘—Mr. William Lloyd Garrison de- livered a discourse Tuesday evening im the Brooklyn Academy of Music on the political questions of the’day, including the President's reconstruction policy and recent speech. The President's policy was denounced in severe terms, and Mr. Johnson was charged with at- tempting a coup d’e/at by the expulsion of Con- gress and the introduction of members from the Southern States, even at the point of the bayonet, if hedare. He declared that for the speech of the President in its « indecency, bombast, malignity, and treasonable leaning, there are no werds fitly to characterize it. And be thinks that for this and other weighty rea- sons, he ought to be indicted by that grand in- quest, the United States House of Represen- tatives, tried by the Senate, and for the peace and safety of country dismissed from of- fice.” For sustaining the President, he calls Mr. Seward a “fallen Lucifer,” and declares that it had been better for the Secretary that he had died beneath the stabs of the than to have lived to forward the views ofthe Presi- dent. 87 The Opinion Nationale of Paris says: “A singular incident marked the second ball atthe panei, ae Wile of Sayfet Pacha, the Am- ‘bassador of the Porte, appeared in a European costume, with her face uncovered. She is per- toilet, and danced several mazurkas with per- fect grace and distinction.” 87° $15,000,000 of gold has been sold for the Government in Nee york, during the last two week at a. commission of ai skhele 87 The Cincinnati Commercial, the les Republican paper in the West, stands by the President. ae! its because mam- ma wir weet ber Be Kearriea until next June. &# Men who destroy railroad tracks, are new called Track-tearians. 7 Real estate in New York has advanced 95 per cent. in a month. a7 They tell ofan ‘woman three hun- tickets to the opera w York are to be about the size of an ordinary window shutter. a could leave the building. bud a —y amount recef: oder stm compared reverend amount The made another a) to im the style of er that think that they were going to ‘that the amount had got to be Sande a .

Another appeal if i Ff made, w vt I i i E f i ‘o President Johnson be took a large bilis out of bis pocket, and, without or looking at the amount, placed it u plate. As it was returned to the pit the pastor announced that be would inform them bow much the President had given. But Mr. Johnson mterrupted him and protested against any such announcement in any form, and Mr. Moody yielded to this request. But rumor, of precise H course, is busy with its stories as to the sum. Iltap to be a well settled fact that it was not less than a thousand dollars, while many declare that it was fifteen hundred. This Inst effort was successful in raising the required sum. Mr. Moody then turned to the congregation and informed them, now that they had nearly removed the debt from the church, they had got to give another thousand dollars to make the President of the United States an honorary member of that church.
