In the cartoon, President Johnson is enthroned on the left, while standing in front of him and looking down at the carnage, is Navy Secretary Gideon Welles.  The first tiny figure highlighted in the gallery beyond Welles’ profile is Greeley, who appears to be gesturing in horror as he talks with his friend George Wilkes, a fellow Republican and editor-owner of the sport paper Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times.  Behind Greeley are reformer Wendell Phillips and a gesturing Congressman Benjamin Butler, who would be one of the managers of the impeachment proceeding against the president.  Johnson, a strict constructionist on constitutional interpretation, grips a rolled paper labeled “My Constitution,” the top of which appears to come between the faces of Nast and his editor, George William Curtis.  To the left, at the edge of the drapery over Johnson’s arm, is Manton Marble, editor of the Democratic New York World, and New York Mayor John Hoffman, a member of Tammany Hall, who both seem pleased by the gory spectacle before them.
