Return of Ax-President John son reshapes public life
The return of Ax-President John son brings his immediate household into public prominence. Mrs. Johnson will not live in Washington again, preferring Greenville Tennessee as her dearest home. Mrs. Patterson, Andrew Johnson’s eldest child, will represent her mother in Washington next season and, with her daughter at school in North Carolina, will host Tennessee’s Senator. The son in Greenville protects his mother in his father’s absence. The piece moves to a political crisis, citing that after Republican committees investigated Louisiana, the House, split by party, declared five Louisiana legislators seated by force, accusing the President and the army commander of high handed crime and driving out a legally elected state legislature. The nation watches as civil liberty is outraged and the event is described with harsh moral judgment.
