[ 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.

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, In poverty, hunger and dirt." [ Richmond Dispatch ] The Escape of Pretext Salnavk.—The capture of Port-au-Prince by the revolu tionists is confirmed. At the sacking of the city President Sul nave escaped.
