Garrison in the debate, and subsequently in the N. Y. Independent.
The Society whose existence was declared1 of such vital consequence continued the Standard, but did nothing more for the next four years than hold an annual meeting.
Its office was closed.
In February, Mr. Garrison made his second and final visit to Washington, for the sake of spending a few days with his daughter, who had recently become Mrs. Henry2 Villard and gone there to reside.
He lectured in Philadelphia to a large audience, on his way thither, and spent3 ten days at the Capital at a peculiarly exciting time, when4 the apostasy of Andrew Johnson to the party which had elected him first became open and pronounced, through his veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, and his disgraceful harangue in denunciation of Congress to a crowd in front of the White House, on Washington's Birthday.5
