[ W ASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE BOSTON PoST
January 19. J
In an interview to-day with Attorney*
General Hoar, that gentleman said : 4 ‘II
the Senate does not act on my nomination
the Presiden will not send to that body the
name ot any other gentleman for that
place, or for the Judgship made vacant by
ihe death ot Mr. Stanton. As I understand
it, the committee h’ave reported the latter
without recommendation, and it is expect
ed by the President and my sell that a vote
will be hud either confirming or rejecting
the nomination. If rejected other nomina"
tions will be made at once. It is asserted
that some one in the District, or fiiithe 1 '
South, has been selected. The President
and myself searched that entire portion ot
the country for a man. Ail the most com
petent lawyers had served in the rebellion,
and the Presid cut would not sign hi a name
to the nomination of several whom I pre
sented to him, and declared that he would
have to name some one from the loyal
Slates. II • pressed me to accept the nomi
nation ; I consented and tie matter reals.
In regard to the case of Judge Pearce, i(
seems the committee are holding back his
name on the ground that (h ngross wi!i
red i strict the circuit.and in that case Judge
Pearce will be in the Pensylvania and
Maryland circuits, and that some one from
Virginia or further South would have to be
named for the circuit he (Judge P.) is now
nominated for. I think the present circuits
very badly districted, especially those in
the South, and particularly the one embrac
ing Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas.
Alabama* &o. Tin's ia the one for which
Judge M oods, of Alabama, bag been ap
pointed, and.in going over his “circuit he
will have to pass, as it were, over a conti
nent. I hold, that the views of some of the
Southern Senators in njy case is without
cause, for some of them, informed me at the
time the Circuit Judgeships were under
consideration, that it was really almost im
possible to say who were the proper and
most fit men in their sections to recom
mend, and, therefore, it was still more dif
ficult to find a proper person for the Sn
pre rite Bench. I have no idea of resigning
my position in the Cabinet if I am not con*
firmed ior the Judgeship. I remain in the
Cabinet at the earnest request of the Pre
sident.
VIRGINIA. •
The shattered “Old Dominion'’ at last
seems to have the prospect of a partial, free*
dom. The bill lor her admission lots pass
ed Congress, and -only needs Grant's ap
proval.
11 is true she is hampered somewhat, but
what matters that ? She fires jubilant
gnus, and seems to think the victory
riolis.
We have no word against her course.
She travailed iu a humility surpassing des
cription, and it seems, about to be success
ful!. She lias abased herself unspeakably.
Lot ns hope, for her sake, that her exalta
tion will follow if. She truckled to Butler
wilii yearning eagerness, and with charac
teristic inaiigiiaey, he has been the bitteiv
est opponent of her admission.
But let her uot think 1 lie restoration is
perpetual. Let the fate of Georgia admon
ish her. Let the threatened degradation of
Teunesee be a warning, that as the sole
condition of admission was subservience
to Radicalism, the same condition only
will secure her stay in the Union.
It is a grave question whether the cost
is not too great.
But the ouce proud old State has plead
so piteously and worked with such zeal for
the mess of pottage, that we have no heart
to damped her joy.— Atlanta Constitution-
Col. XV. S. Rockwell, well know* in this
State died in Ilarfoid county, Md., last Sum
day.
TOUCHED BOTTOM.
e think poor old Virginia has touched
bottom at lust. She has floundered, and rolled
anti tumbled in the mire for a long time
by the help of some of her own people, but
she never got down to the very bottom, the
hJtuisiil, till Thttrsdayj ■when the insolent
negro of It tot at Richmond told her people
that if they dared to misbehrfve she Would
be kicked out of the Union again ! That
must have been a savory morsel for the
jubilators—the salt filers, eh ! They
ought not to mind it. though, for “ain,t we in
the Union, and aint the door open and the
fat things of office in reach at last The
Lord help the future or Virginia manipie
luted by such Dulgettys ! They don’t care
one straw for anything in the world but
provender, and would territorialize to-mor
row, if that meant fatter offices. We hope
the future of the grand old State will not
be committed to the guardianship of these
people, at all hazards.
Now who proposes to take stock in the
salt firing" business when Georgia crawls
back? \\ e mean ouistde of the Bullock
party. If there tire any we want to see
them—we want to know who, with any
cla m to decency, and in the face of what has
happened with Virginia, dares deliberate
ly to insult nature and manhood by coun
selling this people to celebrate and sing
prnaus over their own shame I
WHY DESPOND?
We frequently hear people complain of
their hard lot in life—they speak as il the
whole world was in league against them
for the purpose of crushing them with
poverty —that everything they turn a hand
to falls'far short of their aspirat ions. The
truth of the matter ft just this, they expect
grand res lilts without making an energetie
effort to achieve them, and because they
do not possess the power of Aladdin’s
lump must lament tjieir misfortune. We
would advise them to go cheerfully and
industriously to whatever work they art
assigned and as certain as fate good for
tune will sooner or later befall them. Ev
ery. man in this country—down trodden
and oppressed as it is—who has health
and a determined will, cun rise suc
cessfully above every obstacle. There
never was a time when such capital Was
in greater demand than trow* and,the than
who is so thick-headed as not tube *<>£*
cizaiit of the fact should be sent to rein
force the rag muffins of H lytien Salnave

Inadequate Wages and Starvation—The
New York- Times of Tuesday contains* this*
paragraph:
“Airs. A., makes |vests at eighteen cents
apiece for a wholesale hoHse» She cun
earn $3 a month by working fourteen hours
a day, including Sundays. She pays $3 a
month for her attic, and has two i-mall chil
dren to support. She has eaten meat once
or ,]y*_and then i-t was given to her—sine’*?
Thanksgiving Day. Another case Kate
A., a “liikisiier” of fine shirts, nukes about
$2 a week, working hard for it. She has a
grandmother to support, aud has often
ed for weeks on bread and water in order
to afford the old woman a little broth every
day. The Star, which is enabled to de
scribe these cases front the diary of a 1 idv
who has visited them, gives still a more
painful instance of the hardships caused by
scarcity of employment or inadequate
wages.’’
And yet there was not a slave woman in
the South prior to the war who had not
meat daily, and who was not' lodged
and clothed comfortably. Slavery is dead;
but the philanthropist, who came to war
against the institution lived amongst such
harrowing scenes as those described by
the New York paper. We would not re
establish slavery If we could; but we may
foe! some consolation when we remember
that the pious philanthropist who sought to
set free and thus bring misery uponjhe
objects of sympathy in the South, may still
find ocecuputiou in giving relief to the pale
aud heartbroken women of their own race
who in the douse Northern communities,
“Sti tell, stitch, stitch,
