Photographs of Mr. Johnson, the new President of the Union,

have reached London. They show a strongly-built man, with a square head, overhanging brows, full lips, tiger jaw, and firm, full cheeks. A strong man evidently, but not, we should say, a genial one, a man not to be opposed, but also not much to be loved, certainly not one to be guided by any external force what- ever. Every incident recorded of him deepens our conviction that in him we have an American Jacobin, a man who will crush any- thing, as he told a Pennsylvanian deputation, that resists the State, and will sometimes be apt to believe P Etat c'est moi.
