Bnt let our readers slick a pin right liewe and re member what we say. The day that this first shipment of cotton is made to tho European market by, and in behalf of the men who produced it, and the venture proves a suc cess, it will load to tho most complete radi cal and startling revolution that was ever wit nessed in this country. It will place Liver pool at oar very doors; it will make gold the of difference between it and Mr. Morton' District system. Both contain, in their prac tical operation, the odious anti-republican doctrine that a minority of the people can lawfully control the majority. We have had several minority Presidents in our brief his tory already, and it is desired to put an end to a plan of elections that is palpably in con flict with tho spirit and genius of free popu lar government. If a minority, however largo, bo allowed to elect tho President a great vital principle is overthrown, and it be comes a simple question of discretion whether tho voices of two-filths or of one-twentieth of the population of the United States shall be represented in the election of a Chief Magis trate.

I thought sooner or later it must come, but 1 dul not look tor it for a few yearn. Reporter—Did the failure of the Cookes not surprise you? Mr. Johnson—Well, I confess It did.

The first district gives a majority of fivo thousand votes tor A., while tho second and third dis tricts give, each, a majority of only ten votes forB., oran nggregato majority of twenty.

There is no practice more despicable than that cf certain small politicians who, like cne Mr. Eansey Sniffles wo Lave all read about, keep then.selves in prominence and provender by going about and setting the different classes cl society •gainst each other. Nothing is more beantilnl or more admire ble than t’, mntnal dependence of the one class upor the other. The mechanics are powerful i . hemselves, but aro entirely de pendent, in 1 certain sense, upon tho mer chants, th; 1 inkers and the farmers. The merchants, in turn, with all the cap ital and ail ; heir education would bo utterly powerless were it not for the strong armed mechanic. A blow Etrnck at one mnst injure tho other, and the success of the one is based upon tho pro perity of tho other. No one can fail to sec their perfect mutuality of in terest existing hr tween tho various classes of society, and he who tries to array one against the other mns b ■ seekiug a cheap notoriety, or working up a small ambition. As example of this little way of working things may be teen in the Municipal cam paign war being waged in this city. A ticket is suggested to tbs attention of voters by a number of genii, mon who wish to see the city government in good hands. After find ing that there are no ralid objections to tho ticket, an attempt i - made to play upon preju dice, and tho “wool bat boys 1 ’ (mythical non descripts) arc called upon to “rally against the kid glove aristocracy.” Now what about tho sense of this clamor? What rights that r. workingman ought to Lure would ha fail to got from a ticket beaded by John Collier—that Christian gentleman—and composed of such men as John Flynn, .T. Warliek, C. YV.

Fine leather will bo used cs a drot-s (rim ming this winter. Tbe question of a change in the mode of | electing the President of tho United States, has been agitating the public mind for some years, and daring the last session of Congress it took tho form of aa enquiry, and was re ferred by the Senate to its standing ccmmit- t f e on Privileges and Elections, of which Senator Morton, of Indiana, is Chairm-.n. This committee recently held a conference in tho city of New York, and, it is said, decided to report favorably, at the next session of Congress, on tho plan of Mr. Moiton for electing by popular vote, the votes to bo cast directly for the candidate. It contemplates, of coarse, tho abolition of tbe present cumbersome and expensive Electoral Colleges, substituting instead districts in each State, equal to tho number of Congressional representatives, tho vote of each district to count one Presidential vote, the plurality in the district deciding the vole ^of tho whole; the candidite receiving tho majority of the district vote to be accredited with the two State votes at large; the recipient of tho great est number oi vole; in nil tho States to 1)2 de clared President.

Special Telegram to the Trees. Washington, October 3, 1873. Ex-President Johnson, accompanied by his son, Andrew Johnson, Jr., arrived here tbis morning, A reporter of the Evening Star called upon him to day and had a long inter view. The ex-President’s appearance is de scribed as follows; ms PERSONAL ArPEABANCE. Sir. Johnson certainly holds his years well. Ills face is as fresh as ft mountain rose, and his complexion lair and transparent. He in cheerful in his manners, and received our re porter with the utmost courtesy. He was clad in a full suit of conventional black, with coat cut full in tho skirts, and a pair of roomy pantaloons, black vest, well st arched shirt and standing collar, with black necktie. His son accompanying him is of ft ruddy, health ful color, heavy built, nnd withal a scion the great advanced nldcrmin should feci proud of. Upon entering tbe room, our reporter accosted Mr. Johnson ns follows, after ex changing the civilities of the day: Reporter. Mr. Johnson, it has been stated in newspaper paragraphs that the object of your present visit to Washington is to place your, elf right, as you said, as to your ACTION IN THE SURRATT CASE, again brought prominently to the surfftuo by tha rcc nt letter of Judge Holt’s. Mr. Johnson. Well, I camo to Washing ton, is my custom at inter vain, to attend to a liltio private business.

Now, how easy it would have been—of course don’t say I said tbis— but how easy it would have been for Mr. Grant to havo drawn a check for ihe large nmouut he had in the bamc the day it sus pended, and not knowing exactly how much he should cheek for, aecideltaUy overdraw seventy-eight dollars. Now understand me, THE SURRATT CORRESPONDENCE Reporter—Mr. Johnson, allow me to ask i you a direct question, ns the lawyers term it. Do you think the publication of the Judge Holt version of your declining to interfere in j Mrs. fcurralt’s cate was published nt the time j it was to injure your chnnces of political pro- I ferment in your native State—Tenuessee? HARD ON JUDGE HOLT. Mr. Johnson (smilingly and good-humor- edly)—Well, let mo answer that this wi«=e Let mo suggest something which may give you an idea. Suppose a man had aspirations to bo placed on the Supreme Bench of the United States, and that, practically speaking, hejmd been lost sight of by the American peo ple. Now, suppose his desire to reach the acme of his ambition constrained him to use almost any means and nt any expense, how easy it would be tj rake up some old story. If‘lhe misstatement of facts in tho Surratt case, which, from tho very prominence of events which surround it would give him prominence, why should ho not uso such means if they were at his disposal. 1 mean, of course, ftn unscrupulous ambitious man would only do it. It ho wanted to go to the Supreme Bench, and it became necessary for th-i people to be prepared Mr such an appointment, ho mu*>t first make them know b« still lives. The Sur ratt case afforded him the opportunity—he Q«sd it.
