Mr. JOHNson was a man of positive convictions, sound judgment, quick of comprehension, and earnest in his advocacy of measures he believed right. Of stern integrity and unquestioned fidelity to the principles of his political faith, with manoers which to those who did not know him well might have appeared somewhat brusque, he possessed great kindness of heart and was devoted in his friendships.. It was my privilege to enjoy an intimate acquaintance with him since we 1st met in this city, in July, 1861; for a time occupying the same rooms in common with 2 other colleagues of congenial sentiment, one of whom (the late Hon. Thomas B. Cooper) passed to that home from whose bourn no traveler returns, long since. I visited him frequently during his illness, seeking and profiting by his counsels always clear, comprehensive, and correct. He died as he lived, calmly, and in full possession of all his mental faculties. Surrounded by his sorrowing relatives and friends, his spirit took its departure from the earthly tenement, leaving it undisturbed, with features placid and serene as in life, so that it could hardly be realized as death. o Mr. Speaker, I offer the following resolutions: Resolved, That the House has, heard with deep emotion the announcement of the death of Hon.
