| PARDON-SEEKERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE |

| We print on this page two engravings
pertaining to two very different periods in the Life of President Andrew Johnson. The
first is a picture of the tailor-shop in Greenville, East Tennessee, where as a young man
he labored at his trade. One of his comrades, still living, says that Johnson could beat
him at making a coat, though his spelling was rather below the mark. But the future
President mended in the matter of spelling after he married, as we all know, and has
rather outstripped his old comrade. Our second illustration represents President Johnson
in the attitude of pardoning rebels who have returned to their allegiance. Hundreds of
these pardon-seekers daily besiege the White House. They crowd into the ante-room and are
ushered into the President’s presence each in his turn, and if found all right on the
record they are pardoned, otherwise not. |
