William Lloyd Garrison discusses a lecture that he is about to give in Brooklyn. He finds the Congressional debate on universal suffrage very interesting. He has heard speeches about vetoing certain measure by President Andrew Johnson. Garrison interviewed General Oliver Otis Howard of the Freedmen's Bureau. He heard that a crowd of copperheads had come to Washington to hear President Johnson speak. Garrison writes: "I have just come, with Franky, from the Capital, where a most fitting and eloquent eulogium has been bestowed upon the character and services of the late Henry Winter Davis by Senator Cresswell of Maryland." Garrison spoke to Edward M. Stanton there. Garrison will give two lectures in Washington.
