Ovid F. Johnson, formerly Attorney General of the State of Pennsylvania, and of late years well known at the National Capital as a political writer for Democratic journals, died in this city yesterday afternoon, aged about fifty years. Ho was a man of excellent talents, of great aptness and energy, and of many estimable traits of character; but the enemy that still lies in wait for thousands lured him to his ruin, and he died, forgotten or forsaken by the friends of his convivial hours. He yielded to the Tempter, and perished; and yet the Tempter is protected by the laws.
