[Bouton Herald.] It was hardly to be expected that General Joe Johnston should be selected for a Cabi net position, having been so prominent as a Confederate commander. But this is the only charge which can lie against him; in Ids private life and strict honesty, as a man of truth and exalted character, no man, North or South, is more deserving the pub lic confidence. Asa man of military ge nius, the history of the war bears ample testimony. His arrival on the field changed the battle of Bull Run from a glorious vic tory for our arms into a complete route, for the Confederates were retreating when he came up. Though he was desperately wounded before Richmond, it was not until after McClellan’s army had been forced to abandon its offensive for a defensive cam paign. Disabled from active service for a long time, he was called to take command of Bragg's army after its decisive defeat at Mission Ridge. To him belongs the credit of the Confederate arms during Sherman’s inarch to Atlanta. Our immense army un der Sherman, consisting of Thomas’ army and Schofield’s army, commenced its ad vance early in April, and until the middle of July was occupied in advancing only 100 miles.' Nearly four month* were consumed in a march which, without resistance, might have been accomplished iu a week. John ston realized the axiom of Frederick the Great, that a defensive army ought to fight as often as there were good positions, and that such usually occurred every five miles. In no case of the many contests did John ston allow his army to be compromised by a general engagement with his gigantic op ponents. The news of his removal by Jeff Davis because he would not risk a general battle with a certainty of defeat, but pre ferred to fall back from Atlanta to Macon, and thus gather his strength while weakening his opponent, was considered at our headquarters as the presage of victory for our arms. Had Johnston been allowed to carry out his plan, it is very doubtful whether the “inarch to the sea" would have been accomplished, and the war brought thereby to a close. We can well understand the maguanimous conduct of General Sher man in styling Joe Johnston the ablest gen eral in the Southern army. But what can we aay ot that proscribed Confederate General, politically disabled from holding any office in the United States, when be declined the tempting offer of the Khedive, of the com mand of the Egyptian army oo a salary of £50,000 a year—a refusal based *n his de termination to live and die an American citizen ? The flesh pots of Egypt, full of gold, were refused for a salary of agent of a life insurance company, because he es teemed simple American citizenship, even milder political disability, preferable to oriental wealth and power.

Translated f#r th* Chraalel# and C##*Uca IlwrfW, fra# th# Gersaa# of Max V* Sehhuw*!. CHAFTIK IT—CONCLUDED. "In the exalted frame of mind whjoh controlled me, I was able to pnt aside some of my native indifference, for everybody seemed so delighted with me and my nataralnass, as they called it, and I felt excessively honored by the chivalrous homage which was offered me. I was reminded of the knightly age, wfaieh I bad considered long past and half forgotten. Admiration of them and of those thi> gs b longing to them, is, after all. the surest way to win a man’s heart. Even my mother, when she once resolved to be enthusiastic, took great pains to follow the lofty flight of her daughter’s feelings, and my loyal papa also allowed me now to call Yeniee the ‘pearl in the diadem.’ It was not strange, therefore, that Coant Hippolyt Bendimiani, who, among all the cavalieis, showed me moet atten tion, was clothed by my fancy in the veil of romance which lay over his na tive city.” The Countess paused, and teemed to be reviewing in her mind a crowd of lesser events which were not of anffieiept importance to be related. Then she con tinued without raising her downcast eye* : “One morning I was going with Hip polyt (as I bad eo often done before) through the Doge’a palace, whioh 1 could not ace and admire enongh.— We stood in the great council cham ber before the picture of the Doge, who was Hippolyt’s ancestor. We fonnd ourselves alone in the large room, the walla of which illustrated the mighty deed* of those who once rated hern. My parents had walked out on the balcony, from which a flood of sunlight and strains of entrancing mnaio float ed in . There Hippolyt sought my lore . The whole beauty and glorious past of the city of his fathers, plead for him at this moment, and the almost dull tone of bis wooing which corres ponded so poorly with my previous con ception of the stammerings of young love, I considered chivalrons sincerity and delicate reserve I became bis bride. My alliance with one of tbe so called royal families of Venice so exact ly suited papa’s most cherished political ideas of the interior nnion of the Em pire, that he gave me his blessing with a fervency which contrasted almost too strongly with the ceremonious formali ties of the betrothal. My mother only wept—so heart brokenly that Hippolyt was evidently wounded by it; for when I felt that my eyes were also wet with tears, I told him they were tears of joy, but shrugging his shoulders, he confess ed to me that since he had been a man he had never wept, and had always con sidered the expression ’tears of joy’ a paradox. Instead of being frightened at this trait in his character, I saw nothing therein but manliness and sincerity. Later my good mother confided to me that she had given her consent to this union withs sad heart, and would much have preferred my going to the altar with the plainest of the Carinthian land owners, who would have been ca pable of a hearty laugh and an amiable conversation. How old-fashioned and illiberal my mother's prejudices seemed to or e at that time, when I even pro nounced the rich, full sounding Italian words with the greatest delight, and continued obstinately to confound na ture and education, surroundings apd character. How infinitely noble seemed my grave, talented husband, from whom one never heard a loud word, in whom one never saw anything unbecoming, or a harried, ungraceful gesture, whose cautions silane# where others spoke seemed to me to souse#} t||o deepest wisdom; who was temperate in hjs daily life, and partieularly so in hip words and actions. How far he was above our red cheeked, ungallant young neighbors at home who appeared to find their greatest enjoyment in smoking, drinking and gamming, who always spoke in thunder tones and never rode up pgr castle hill exoept at # break neck speed." Again there was a pause, which was only filled by the varying lights and shadows on the Countess' expressive face, or a melancholy smile, as a joyful or gloomy reminiscence of the first years of her married life passed through her mind. However, her reverie must have spoken in Hippolyt'# favor, for with more warmth and less regret she began again: “ I believe that Hippolyt loved me as deeply as he could. But, though I would have wished it otherwise, the ro mance of the lagoon oity lost something of ita glamour when compelled to serve for daily use, I could not put aside the consciousness tht there was something wanting, and the death of mj kind pa rents placed me in suoh a ufat# of wretchedness that everything was pow erless to counteract it. Hippolyt had no heart appealing words with which to comfort me, and tor the first time, I thought hi* nature no deeper than it seemed, and that he suppressed nothing more than he said, 11 The sooial conditions also were more dazzling outwardly, than on a closer in spection; for when one onoe knew the charming attitudes of the ladies, tbe glitter of their conversations, the melo dious tones of their voices, and the cor rupt little artifices of natural vanity with whioh they worked, op# soon dis covered that they continually repp/itd themselves. How could there be a soul refreshing originality where there was no creative power in the heads or hearts of the people, and where there waa only an imitation of the most familiar melo dies on life’s most eommou-plage sub jects. “Bat I was entirely separated from these, and Hippolyt nad enough to do in the early years of oar married life to oomplete my education and oonfine my excessive vivacity and ingenuous ness within proper bounds. “Indeed be was right in thinking that it was not proper for a Venetian Jady and especially hia wife, to ran from one end to the other, up and down th# bun dred steps and narrow alleys, instead of using her gondola, only appearing in publio now and then in the Colonnades of tbs “Markusplatz;” and then return ing quietly sod genteelly to the “Piaz zetta” instead of striving (to the great disgust of the domestissj at the back gate of the palace, laughing pnt of breath, and with flaming cheeks anti dis ordered hair. He knew too, better than I, that loud talking OT laughing in a gon dola was not becoming jp a Venetian lady of tbe higher ranks, and in her movements she must always payi special attention to the graeefnl fall of her train, for no Venetian nobleman’s lady was without that appendage. Hith erto I had undoubtedly been in error, as I had considered naturalness tbe greatest attain .ble oharm, and all co quetry and designing undignified de ception. Hippolyt answered very se verely, that if that were the oase, all education wonld be superfluous, and the natural condition of man tbe .only oor reet one. I waa not angry with him for this hard spceeb, although I oould have easily explained to him the diAferencp between German and Italian femal# edu cation, and between innate and external refinement. In time, however. I learn ed to obey, and would bite my lips until they bled rather than permit a bitter word to escape me. I learned to obey, bnt many a time I felt as if I could not breath# in the marshy atmosphere of the lagoons, an4l,he tide which rose and fell twice a day at tire pdgee wall seemed to oppress my very heart. “Hippolyt was habitually well-btos a*d eourteou*. He did not pain me inten tippally; bnt, with all tbe prudenoe and quiekn*M of individual judgment, his mind was wt J}|rmoßioai and compre hensive enough n* m adhere obstinate ly to his laboriously acquired conolu ■ siona, even in trifles. How stored under this tyranny, of which like evtwyuAJbef self-critic, he waa per fectly nnconaeicres i My nature, which had been reared in peclcw re belled against this, and the monotonous. motjuifa'Q groups, and forests and lakee of my native laud rose enticingly before me, as if there alone happiness and peso*. “How grateful I was to Hippolyt, how all seemed forgiven and forgotten be tween ns, when he proposed to me to spend the Summer in Carinthia, at the country seat of my parents. I had been too Pposd ever to suggest this, bnt still I thartked ri’ft jjrith tears; he was also touched,' pd 'fffff jeyjinr happiness ssejped to shine forth anew. Upt we brought Gre h,eayy atmodpJWol the lagoon wire us. Hippolyt epoke ita per-. feet German, and our npfghfeor* >d relatives bad not always th# Uut to dis-, regard the inoonvenienee of conversa tion and his stiff gravity of manner. On the other hand, I was the object of 1 iiy and often rough, but always kind tv megnt The ehief amuse ments tff thc oquutyy— hunting, nf. riding and carousing, jtjmng life in the gjr—did nvt iutoreat by band and tfemufore it was natural that I he enould spenjT‘a deal of his time in the house, and moeh isolated while y dpbes as re quired all my attention, } mifthf nave expected him to understood this, but he withdrew from me more and more. Gloomy and strange as he seemed to the people, he was able many a time to totorpept an incautious glance, a question at 9 remark, whioh imbued i him with distrust of my country men and Germans ana r oar viiit was brought to an ena , the radiated time. The penod whioh i now ensued was a stormy one. Ire i belled openly against what I considered had not changed everything. The Ital ians love their children, and even Hip polyt waa a tender father—eo tender that in his devotion to his child, her mother was soon forgotten. I was not jealous of my child, and as in relation to her education Hippolyt clang obsti nately to the prevailing cut toms of his native city, I determined to become an obedient wife, in order to aecnre for my daughter a cloudless peace in the house of her parents, and to prevent any shadow of discord from falling on her young life. But, in our hei'.rts, Hippo lyt and I came no nearer to etch other in the years that followed, and it seemed as if we had only come to terms, to smooth tbe pathway of life for the being who belonged to us. After a while, Hippo lyt appeared to have overcome hie un founded dislike to everything German, and even permitted Caroline and myself to be surrounded by German servants, so that his daughter, as he jestingly re marked, would not be ridiculed by her relatives, as she would be, if she visited Carinthia, ignorant of the language of tbe oountry. “On this occasion he also proposed to me to alienate my eetete in Carinthia. And when I objected, be informed me somewhat irritably that several yei re ago he bad taken care that I shoull not in fntare Summers be deprived of the fresh lake and mountain breezes ; and had qnietly built on the shore of the Logo Maggiore a villa, the style of which wonld please me, for it was a faithful oopy of the Doge’a palaoe. This first proof of a loving regard for my wishes overwhelmed me. With tears I thanked Hippolvt and acquiesoed in all that he desired. But the sale waa not made, and I enter now for the first time the villa fashioned after the Doge’s palaoe.” The Countess paused, visibly fatigued by much talking and all these agitating reminiscences; for a moment she looked thoughtfully at the bowed head of the officer, who had listened attentively and silently, then she continued quickly ; “All these are no world agitating oc ourrences; lam aware of this aod you wonld soarcely be interested in them if they did not have some connection with Caroline. But I must mention them or what followed would be perfectly unin telligible to yon. You cannot have failed to see what a refreshing effect your vis its had upon our monotonous family life; how yonr never varying, kind and cheerful temperament diffased an atmos phere of harmoncy whioh evenHipployt’s frigid nature could not entirely resist. It could not lessen my husband’s or my own regard for you that our child soon olung to you with almost fanatical love. You were endeared to me by language and habit, by tbe relationship between our families and by the proximity of our native provinces; therefore I understood perfectly all that you said and did. You seemed to me, bright, innocent and child like, as I had never known any maD before, notwithstanding the earnest fundamental principles of your character, and your mind waa quite strong enough not to lead your heart astray. At the same time there was nope of that coareepess about you with whioh one so often meets among the young people of my home; and you must forgive me if I beheld in you my ideal of German manhood. I was filled with the deepest gratitude when I saw how you, the youpg officer for whom the Lagoon oity must have so many allure ments, yielded to the whims of a child and spent all of your spare, time with her, while never once claiming the thanks of her parents. “Therefore, J Wftß wore agitated and wounded tor you than for myself, when my husband suddenly, with the most vehement directness, hurled at me the accusation that we both had united in deceiving him, and had robbed him of his honor—” Pale was the face of the young offiper a@ Ire raised Ilia. head. He knew of this accusation already, but it acquired double importance com ing from the lips of the Countess. She did not look up. After a mo ment’s delay she resumed tbe thread of her story with the eager haste that had characterized the latter part of her nar rative. “Ifop remember probably as well as I do the last time yon oa®e to opr house. On the terrace where she used to make the acquaintance of all the passing gon doliers, Caroline had taken cold and was confined to her bed. But abe beg ged so pathetically for oousin Henry to be brought to her as soon as he came, that J pould not withstand her entrea ties, With what fervor the devoted lit tle creature stretched out her fever whitened bauds to you, and how her eyes sparkled ! You perhaps know also that as we stepped out of the ante chamber we suddenly stood before my husband, who looked fixedly at us for a moment, then without answering your address, and without any salutation he passed by us, and when a little way off he pajled to me (as he had never been in the habit at doing) to follow him into his study. Still Widfy rises in my memory the little room with the lat ticed window opening on the canal, in which I endured the roost horrible hour of life. I learned from my husband’s lips that J waa ap qnworthy wife, a false and dishonorable woman, a peril to the welfare of my own child, that { was re pudiated and bad no right to remain any loDger under the same roof with my husband and daughter, and all this be cause tbe little oorridor whioh we had to oross in order to reach the large one led also to my chamber. You never Jfnew this ; even I had not thought of it when I carried you to Caroline. To a disposition inelitred to suspicion, and whioh had been formed in atmos phere of family intrigues and infidelity, it was natural to arrive at such a dis honoring conclusion against a woman who baa &eyer, pypp jn thought, broken faith with hi. Bow yog fcnpw ffie cause of my quarrel with Hippolyt, and hia unjust suspicions of yon, conclud ed the Countess quite abruptly, al though during tbe last part c f her story her voioe had failed her several times. “I have tried in every way to disprove th# fpgpne accusation, but each one of my word® /rely perved to make his an swers more deeply Finally, my fast remnant of pride I would defend myself hP WOre^' The Countess wire silent. Her eyes were fastened on tbe floor like a jqiprit awaiting her sentenoe. Not a feature of the officer’s face had changed, bnt be had listened with great Sympathy. Then he said thoughtfully: “i suspected something of the kind, bnt I at lease huarrined more Berious causes ; for it seemed‘lmpossible to be lieve that a reasonable man .would repu diate the mother of hia child, his wife whom tie hsd Jpved until now (and that he had done so, { saw with my own eyes), this, I say, seemed to siblo, and I would nevejr believe it if it were not you, my honored cousin, who assured me of it.” Earnestly and dispassionately, Wal den’s glanoe rested upon the still beau tiful woman, who was no longer able to master her evident embarrassment. “You are right,” said she at last, reso lutely “With your unerring instinct for tiie truths yon have perceived that I did no p tell jm #ll. I wished t,Q do so, for nothing should be unexplained between mygelfana the man who foyps mjf OhW* But when f came to the final words, my courage failed me. Yon are right, th#t unfor tunate accident was not snfficieht to condemn me oven in my husband's sus picious mind. There was still some thing else between us whioh increased his hate to implacability. You are fami liar perhaps with the assertion of many psychologists, that there is in the life of mbec women * oond youth, in which their irearts'beuhtt# Sgaip quite as sus ceptible as in their first broom.” -Then if their hearts are not entirely filled, and new sympathetic impressions step in, it is only a question of ednoation of principles, of character, of opportuni ties sod >4 intelligence, how far these impressions obtain aonyroj oyer us. Men like my husband have usukiiy a keen eye for that whioh ia unfavorable to them; he had also seen that for some time ’l had pot been like my former seif, and with oruei faouy, he pm the question to/’ me ' whether it really had been only love for my hnanend Ygllicb had changed ’ me so. This question atruejr e dfiffiL l h#4 never m my life told an nntrnth inten tionally; now, for the first time, I was tempted to do so, for the Bake of my child; perhaps it would have been better if I had succumbed and borne a burden of hypocrisy and self-reproach through out a joyless life. Or was it better for my child to have no mother et all than ah ho Aortoy one ,* I did not dare to de cide that. Enough, ray pr/fie supported me slid I confessed to • him a- feeling which beep stronger than I, bnt without hia question Woplfi h*7 e been buried with me. 1 saw how pale he be came, how his whole frame trembled and how he straggled for breath. I entreated him, if he oould not believe me, to take the oenrse moet horrible to a hitherto irreproachable woman, and £nj out the troth by appealing to the word 6f 1104.0, oj a man, npon whose no ble, unselfish' c£aracte* tire pJlurementa of a disloyal Wbmhii' hhff’beeif wasted, ire burst rea lohd cruel ' laugh, and said $ woui£ be unparalleled simplicity for the tp call upta the word ana virtue of the lover, and then he explained to me with a cynical can dor whioh turned my very aonl to ioe, that such a model woman and young man as I sought to reprefeat to him did not exist at all, and if they did, they would only be taken for fools. A wife who si! only prevented by a sense of dnty Troth the first tender thoughts of another in ah', was already lost, and it waa only important as a legal question whether or not she had iaksa tbeTuial step. A JO ung, pleasure-loving officer did not visit almost daily a young wo man and ber taciturn husband, merely to carve playthings for their little dsnghter. He bad, heretofore, on ac count of hia wife’s honor and virtue, politely ignored her evidently waning affection, indeed to a certain extent had understood it, but through my ingen iousneaa, his views were changed. My love wonld be considered hopelessly sil ly by me and all of hia comrades, if be did notr follow np hia advantages, and allowed snch a pastime to escape him in a garrison not rich in amusements. In this way he spoke, and each one of these horrible things which I was obliged to hear, waa branded on my soul in letters, of fire. I suffered terribly, aod my crime, if I had committed one, was expiated in that hear. Bat why all this? They were not accidents and misunderstand ings. bnt the original dispositions of two beings tkat met each other so hoe tileiy—the gloomy pedantry of a mind which adhered strictly to the law, and the free emotions of a heart which rely ing upon itself never had room for wioked thoughts Now you know every thing,” she said, with a sigh of relief as she arose. “And if I have torn the last veil from these unfortunate errors, it was yonr ohild-like innocence and the confession of your love for Caroline that gave me the courage to do so. Since I have been able to Bay all this, you must know also (if my gray hairs have not already as sured yon of it) that that soul sickness is long sinoe past. And this clear qu : .et glanoe with which you look at me proves tnat you are worthy of the best feelings of a woman’s heart. I wonld joyfully give yon my daughter’s hand if I were still her mother”— The Countess was silent. The young man had listened with a quiet interest which indicated that among other things he had lost sight of the part which he had played in the this family drama, and that no breath of frivolous conceit entered hia heart. “I quite understand that after all this, yon oan never seek a reconciliation,” said Walden gently. “And your hus band has also forbidden every attempt at an explanation on my part. He would never give his daughter to a man by whom he believes himself to have been ao deeply wronged, and I would consid er it a Crime to again disturb the peace of ao unfortunate a family. It will require on ly a little modesty on my part to assume that Caroline has forgotten me or has other and dearer friends. I will not in terrupt her childish dreams with my selfish wishes, and it is much for me to be able to call as bright and pure a recollection as that of your child my own, ” “A poor oomfort,” sighed the Count ess. “There are men who have less,” an swered Walden softly. The CouDtess drooped her head sadly and seemed lost in her grief. “Forgive me,” she said then, looking np again. “If I had not given you that oommiasion you would not have been brought near the dear ohild. I thought only of myself; still how oould I have guessed that seeing your little friend again would be so dangerous to your heart? You were formerly so dispas sionate and calm. It would probably have been better for me if I had re mained far away in exile with my rained life; but as everything was so unsettled throughout the country, as oivil war was threatening, and as I had heard that Hippolyt and my child were considered enemies of the Emperor and could never return to Venice, but had actually aban doned the house in Laveno to go to Sar dinia, then my heart was troubled; a ter rible anxiety for Caroline seized me; I saw her at night in my dreams, pale and miserable, and prematurely old, misunderstood and disowned by her father as I had been, and seeking me in vain through troops of hostile soldiers and an exoited country. I went to Venioe; I represented myself as Hippolyt’s wife, in order to get news of my ohild, bnt the information which I obtained was meagre; they could only tell of the nation’s quarrels, and saw the peace of Europe destroyed by fire and sword. I attempted now to get in the vicinity of my husband’s new home, but over zealous Custom House officers sent me baok to the border. Then it occur red to me that I had a right to be here, and from this place to execute whatever could lead to the accomplishment of my object. What this was exactly, I knew not very clearly. Then as I drove through the town I saw you close by the can i age. But by the time I could make the half-deaf ooachraan undeistand that I wanted him to stop, you were not to be seen. However, I knew now that I was no longer helpless and forsaken. After I had almost foroed the slow old man who guards the house to admit me, I immediately sent Pepi after yon. You had a tender heart for a mother’s despair, and offered to find out everything for me. At all events, I gave you that letter, whioh contained only an injunction to Caroline to love and honor and obey her father in ail things. Bat in case his counsel was not snffioient to console her, or if she felt lonely and neglected, to remem ber then that she had a mother who wonld gladly sacrifice her own life to secure unclouded happiness for her daughter. I bogged hey to have perfect confidence in yon, and told her my ad dress in future, and how letters would reaoh me most quickly. You had no opportunity to deliver this letter, and now I am .thankful to Providence for it, although my gratitude to you is none the less; still it is perfectly inexplicable to me how you, at suoh a time, crossed th# lake unmolested and succeeded iu reaching the park.” “Let that remain my secret, worthy cousin l" said with slight em barrassment." “The ri*fc yap n q greater than J have encountered often without any jaotiye: *pd if yog need a greater ou# Still—the war h 8 not FCt com menced #nd danger and I are good com rades, Mv life is at the aervioe of yon and your daughter.” Walden bad spoken these words with out any special emphasis, and plainly and simply he stood before tbe Coun tess, who extended her hand to him for a farewell.

Tbe Conventl## Question The Capital Scare—lte Baseleasaess—Atlanta Aroused —Tbe Ter* Senators—Relation* of Hill and (Jordan— Matters Connected With the Feud— T.e Independent Movement—lt* Growing Strength—Other Matter*. I Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist.] Atlanta, April 6. — The Convention 9 uestion is daily assuming greater im portance in this latitude. Tbe sole eanse of Atlanta’s interest in the matter ia the fear that a Convention may move the capital of the State from Atlanta to Milledgeville. Were it not for this fear I think Atlanta wonld vote for a Con vention. As it is the vote of Fulton county will undoubtedly be cast against the measure. The same cause may operate against the calling of a Conven tion, though I do not think it likely to work much mischief outside of this city and < jounty. From what I can learn of the sentiment of the people of the State, I hnve no idea that the Convention will be defeated at the polls. I have as lit tle idea that the scheme to move the capital will be successful when the Convention assembles. It is only in a few counties that there seems to be a sentiment in favor of re moval. Nine-tenths of the people are satisfied to let the capital re main where it is. If the city of Atlanta will take the unsightly and unsafe struc ture now used as a State House off the hands of the Government, and present a handsome Capitol to tbe State, the friends of removal will muster very slim indee I. The belief is becoming general that the best men in the Btate will be sent as delegates. The importance of the work to be entrusted to the Conven tion is appreciated, and it argues well when snch men as Jenkins, Browo, Toombs, Joshua Hill, Norwood, Law ton, Wofford, Reese and Anderson are brought to the front. It will not do, however, for the friends of a Convention to be too sanguine. The office-holders, as a class (and they constitute a class numerous and influential), are opposed to it, fearful lest their hold upon the treasury teat may be loosened, and they are fighting it secretly but adroitly. They have a good many strings to their bow—capital removal, homestead, negro fear, and bonds—and will pull them all. The Tw Senators. It is an open seoret that the Senato rial delegation from Georgia is divided. Senator Hill and Senator Gordon are far from being the best of friends. While there may not have been au open rupture the fact that they get along very inharmoniously is plainly apparent. I do not think that Senator Gordon con siders Senator Hill the safest and soundest of men politically, nor do I believe that Senator Hill regards Sena tor Gordon as the most intellectual. Gor don beat Hill for the Senate four years ago when his military fume was still in its flush and when Hill’s connection with the State Road lease and the De lano banquet had not been forgotten. It is well known that in the contest of last January the weight of Gordon’s in fluence was thrown against Hill and in favor of Norwood. Governor Colquitt, as usual, sided with his friend and neigh bor and Hill had to fight them both. He did it and did it successfully, but as may be readily imagined, the two men do not entertain any higher opinion of each other because of the conflict cr tbe vie tory. In Washington Gordon labored earnestly to secure for his friend, Col. R. A. Alston, the position of United States Marshal of Georgia—one of the most luorative Federal offices in the South— and with so much effect that the President agreed to sign the commis sion if Hill would unite with his brother Benator in recommending the appointment. This he declined to do and Alston was not appointed. The breach was not closed to any consid erable extent by this affair. On the other hand, the friends of Hill think that the friends of Gordon were instru mental in circulating the report that the former had presented the name of Foster Blodgett for the office and recommend ed that worthy man to Attorney-General Devens—a report that is bitterly denied. It is easy to see that it will be difficult to get the two Senators to work together for the accomplishment of any object. It will be a lucky thing for the State if each does not become the leader of a hostile faction and do l attle with the other. Gordon’s term will expire iu about eighteen months, and Hill’s friends will doubtless make a fight on him when he offers for re-election. The Independent Movement# I fear that the Democracy of Georgia oaDnot be held together in another State election. The party is so large that there is good reason to fear it will fall to pieces. The success of the ind'ipsn dent movement in the Seventh District and the large Democratic vote received by the independent candidate for Con gress in the Ninth District, give evi dence of the weakness of party organiza tion. Nominations will not generally be regarded in the future except so far as national politics are concerned, and sorub races will be tbe order of the day. The oolored vote will be assiduously courted in such contests, and the oolor line will also be measurably obliterated in suoh a oampaign, and the black man will vote as early and as often as his white brother. I confess that Ido not see how the evil is to be either remedied or averted. When men hunger for office they care little for consequences, pro vided they obtain the object of their desires. Such men argue that it is folly to talk of the election of Radicals; the Republican party in Georgia is dead be yond the hope of resurrection, and there is no reason why they should be fright ened by # ghafiow fjom obtaining thejr share df the gopd things of government. la® afraid, too, that four years from now tbe Dsmocratio nominee fur Gover nor of Georgia will ha opposed, perhaps defeated, by an independent candidate. Indeed, many think that Felton, who plumes himself upon having broken the “machine” and destroyed the power of the “riDg” in Cherokee Georgia, is even now in training for such a contest. Recent Ripples. The failure of Adair apd tb e fiigbt of Sharp, the ‘Hive jeweler. !i The former, it is thought, will soon reouperate. He has energy, pluok, industry and a host of friends.

A Republican View of the Situation—Recon strocti'en a Future—A Candid Admission— The So(-t|t Apalbept-—ppUayt( Wl yIT 0 W (:h^myer|alp—Hamptonts Responsibilities. \Neu> York Times—Editorial ] The apparent apathy of the North is rendered still more noticeable by the ob vious connection which exists between the proceeding resolved upon in regard to South Carolina and that which is pending in regard to Louisiana. The common sense of the country sees that the practical recognition of Hampton in one State Whit’be followed by the prac tical recognition of Nicholls in the other. There may be technical differences be tween the two eases, derived from the attitude of the local Courts toward the respective claimants for the Governor ship, but tbe distinction is too refined to influence the popular judgment. If it whs deemed necessary to sacrifice Chamberlain to propitiafe Hampton and his supporters, Packard cannot; hope to esoape a similar fate simply because the lo£al judiciary happens not to have pro nounced against him. In a question of this nature, technicalities amount to lit tle. And the underlying conditions in the two States being substantially iden tical, it were affectation to suppose that any zoom fer doubt remains with reference to the result in Louisiana. — It ia, therefore, impossible to feel much interest in the doings of the Com mission which will to-day leave Wash ington for that State. It goes upon a superfluous errand. Its inquiries and negotiatl ns will alike wasted. Why should Mr. Nicholls condescend to talk of terms, or exchange the certainties of his present position for the chances of the plan proposed ? Has he not seen that Mr. Hampton, with no better title than hia own, has contrived by sheer audacity to carry his point w thout being bound by any other conditions than those which he has all along been pre pared to make ? The lesson is not likely to be lost npon the Democratic claimant to the Governorship of Louisiana, who now knows that he has only to be obsti nate and dictatorial to secure the re moval of tfie troops from the Raokard fortress. Popular logio recognizes this as the inevitable sequence of the Sonth Carolina decision, and the Loniaianians cannot fail to look at in the same light. They have but to wait and win. Here, then, is a complete abandon ment of a position heretofore held by the Republican party as a consequence of the reconstruction policy. One might have expected some excitement among Republicans at the North, if only as an indication of sympathy with those who, like Mr. Chamberlain, have fought a gallant battle in reliance nponextraneons help, and bare been qaietiy given over to the common enemy. Bnt there is no excitement. The approaching extra see* sion of Congress may bring to the sur face feelings now held in check, but even then it is more likely to be among the representatives of Southern Repub licans then among the Northern mem bers. Why ? Divers considerations en ter into the answer. The interpretation accepted by the President is undoubt edly true up to a oertain point. There is a wide-spread impatienoe with the working of the system now to be dis carded. It is looked npon as a failure. It has not secured peace. It has not in sured adequate protection of the blacks, nor fostered friendly relations between them and the whites. It has not pro moted the prosperity of the South. These are valid reasons for scrutinizing the policy that had been acted up on, and are the justification on which the President must mainly rely. The all-pervading business depression has probably contributed still more to the remarkable quiet which attends the new rule of action which the President has adopted. Languor should not be con founded with acquiescence; and we sus pect that the bnainess and industrial stagnation that ia visible everywhere has much to do with the absence of excite ment in connection .with the change which has taken place in the attitnde of the Government towards States which the Republicans believe to be rightfully theirs. Mr. Hampton’s avowed anxiety in re gard to the avoidance of local tumult is a tribute to Northern sensitiveness which the President will surely appreciate. He has assumed grave responsibilities. The remark attributed to him, that if any violation of rights occur he will promptly exercise his authority for the protection of the aggrieved classes, covers only part of the case. Happen what may, after Chamberlain is ejected the authority of Hampton must be re spected. Troops may be employed to sustain the laws, but Democratic as cendency will be secure. The conces sion which sacrifices Chamberlain is ir revocable. What the country now ex pects is some compensating advantage, and upon the realization of this the vindication of the new policy depends. Individual injustice will be ultimately overlooked, if the general result be satis factory. If Hampton is honest enough and strong enough to fulfill bis pledges respecting the freedmen, and if, under his administration, the State regain peace and prosperity, the President will have little to fear from his own party. These, however, are important provisos. And if they be not forthcoming, his position will not be enviable. A MYSTERY OF OF THE SEA. Was It a Disaster or a Dreadful Crime f Boston, April B. —The Herald will to morrow publish a statement to the ef fect that there are grave suspicions that Wui. Maguire, the sale survivor of the brig Roanoke, did not tell a true story. His statements to Capt. Carson, of the schooner which rescued him, were con tradictory, and gave rise to the suspicion that the crew mutinied and probably murdered the captain and his followers, and also the passengers, and that the vessel beoame unmanageable after they got possession of it. It does not seem consistent that passengers would have deliberately drowned themselves while there was the least hope of being saved. In the safe, which was located in the captain’s cabin, were $50,000 in gold, sufficient incentive for an uprising of the crews. It is surmised that the crew drank freely of lager, and while drunk went below to get the contents of the safe and had a fight with the captain and the sailors who remained faithful. This theory is based on the fact that Maguire says that one of the crew, a Finn, threatened to shoot the captain, and the fact that one of the orew was found dead, with his upper lip ent off, when Maguire was taken off by Capt. Carson. Maguire said in explanation that the Finn got a pistol ont of a dozen that were lyiug about the cabin, aud that the dead man found on the wreck had his lip bit off in a fight with one of the crew on the 26th of March. Maguire is a thick set Irishman, and when found showed little signs of exhaustion, a fact rather strange in view of his claim that many of his comrades had died of ex posure, Philadelphia, April B.— Capt. Car son, of the schooner Annie Todd, ar rived here yesterday. He says that when Maguire was taken from the Roan oke he was nearly exhausted ; at no time did he correct his story or contradict himself ; all hands had been drunk on her, and they had fought among them selves. The raft, Maguire said, was washed overboard the night previous. Maguire also tells a plain story to-day, and does not deviate from the first told. The man who attempted to shoot the captain was drunk, and he also attempt ed to injure Maguire, The insurance men believe Maguire’s story and will pay the loss. Capt, Carson came here to tell the family of Mr. and Mrs. Dal lett that the rumor of a mutiny and murder is without foundation. A UAHPJET-BAG EXODUS. “The Most Unkindest Cot ol All.” {From the New York Tribune .] It is reported that certain Senators and thirteen Representatives, of the variety called carpet-baggers, have sign ed an agreement to withdraw from tie Republican party. They promise to give the Democratic party control of both houses of CoDgress, but if even that advantage coul I be gained it would be purchased tgo dparly by affiliation with these persons. The Republican party has been oarrying them long enough to know what they oost. If they, and their respeoted leader, Mr. Butler, wish to do that party the great est service in their power we trust they will “stand not upon the order of their going, but go at once.” That they do not mean to do the Republican party this favor, and will not go at all if they can help it, we are fully convinced. The fact is that the Republican party has been rppping a political poor house quite too long. The one fatal defect of its policy sinoe the war has been that it gave opportunity for adventurers, who were utterly without standing or con sideration in any Northern community, and who, if not propped up by United States bayonets, could not have beea elected to any office by colored men of the South, to fasten themselves upon the party and the country as the repre sentative Republicans of States. G|qo(i'tpdq as wpil aa ’Viad men fiaya gope 'from the North to take part in Southern politics, But it is an un happy consequence of the peeuliar in fluence which worthless men attained under Grant’s administration that tl:e most worthless of all the generation of carpet-baggers ’ to havet in the uegree, the sympathy and up fort of the were en abled to. select officials who would serve them, were thus recommended to the Republican voters of the South as the men of all others who were trusted at Washington by official leader of the party, and a uontrolijtig position in the party at home by means of this influence. We all know how decent men have been repelled by this promi nence of unscrupulous persons. All other blunders put together have not cost the Republican party as many votes as the single fact that it was represent ed and controlled in reconstructed States by unworthy men. lo get rid of this inenbus has been the one thing needful. Unhappily, it has also been of all things the most dif ficult. for these sohemers have been cunning to represent that their cause was the cause of the colored people; they have made many Northern men be lieve that all opposition to them was hostility to Republican principles and to colored suffrage; they have filched for themselves whatever the loyal people had for “ the wards of the Nation;” and they have not been restrained by gratitude, consoicppe, deoenoy or hu manity from fomenting bloody strife be tween whites and blacks at the South whenever it suited them to revive north ern memories of the war. These men have made the Southern problem a hard one. Months ago we said that the Re publican party conld solve that problem only by dropping the carpet-bag politi cians who have disgraced that party by managing it at the South. Bat to this day they have stock tighter than leeches. It has been impossible to drop them, or to shake them off, os to get rid of them on any forms. If this set of corrupt politicians will transfer themselves to the Democratic party, they will render the country a great service, JJext to the advantage of gaining men who strengthen a party is the advantage of losing mem who weaken it. As their unwholesome influence has made more powerful every bad ele ment in the Republican party, so they are certain, if they go to the Democrats at all, to contribute all their own un serupulous recklessness to its most dan gerous elements. Thereby the more de cent and patriotic Democrats will be re pelled, even as they will be drawn to the Republican party by the expulsion of its most odious men. A real recon struction of parties, a bringing together the best and worthiest men of both po litical organizations would be the natur al result if the remnant of carpet-bag plunderers would be good enough to transfer themselves to the Democratic camp. But the news is too good to be trne. The scamps know that Democracy wonld only use them for a day, and then drop them forever. They that they have made themselves offensive in the lastdegree to the property-owning and substantial citizens of the South. . They do not like the liberal policy of Presi dent Hayes, bnt it is not possible for them to be ostracised more completely than they wonld be within a year after alliance with Democrats. They thirst for revenge, bnt they hunger for the fleshpots. Reform is a bitter word to them. But they can tnrn reformers, and pretend to be zealous adherents of the new policy, and hope even yet to get some place and retain some influence. Tbe danger is not that they will go, bnt that they will stay. The Administra tion would gain many supporters, not only from substantial citizens at the South, bat drom the independent class at the North, for every vote it may lose by a departure of political panpers. Bnt the danger is that the panpers will not secede from the poor house as long as there is the faintest possibility of vict uals. It has been repeatedly shown that one gets better results from less than two thirds of Dooley’s Yeast Powder than from fall amount of any other baking powder in tbe world. Housekeepers have fonnd ont this fact, and the books of grocers all through the country prove this immense popular preference abso lutely; latlKQowMWe. South Boston, May 9,1870. H. B.
