The Briblif Ifitem.
Ia a latter of Montgomery Blair, recently
published in the Xational htUttSgimcir, the
writer aeys:
41 President Lincoln had' gftat Confidence
in Mr. Stephana. He told me repeatedly
that he had offered him a aeat in the Cabi
net, end he retained great regard for him
to the laat.”
Tfe do not doubt a moment that Lincoln
did offer Mr. Stephens a teat in the cabinet,
or talked around that he waa going to do it,
or waa willing to do it, ao that the latter or
his friende might hear of it; hut we doubt
exceedingly whether 11 he (Linooln) retained
great regsrd for him (Stephen*) fO tRe last,"
When all that transpired 44 in school,'* ia
tw’.d “ out of school,” it would not surprise
«s to hear that dotens and scores of our
Southern leading men were offered positions
of one kind or another in the Lincoln gov
ernment—not for any great regard they en
tertained for a single one of them, hut for
the pupose of winning them over—an adroit
essay, in other words, to bribe them.
Being oorrupt themselves, and believing
that every man had a prioe, and especially
the patriot, they threw their bribes out broad
east, knowing, in reason, that tho’ some of the
seed would fall on barren ground, and hence
be unproductive, other reed would find more
genial soil, and bring forth “ some thirty,
sixty, and some an hundred fold.’’
Yet awhile, it is impossible to lm* how
many of our men were thus tampered with
by the Lincoln government. Judging, how
ever, from the number of our prominent
Southern men, deemed at first to be true and
faithful, who soon became weak-kneed, and
some of them, ultimately enemies, K w fair
to infer that influences more than common
must have been at work all the tinre.
While Mr. Stephens an l Mr. John 801 l
—the latter aa wall aa the former being of
fered a high position by Mr. Linooln—reject
ed the proffers, it may turn out, and we sus
pect it will, that of those who deserted us,
or, what is tantamount, remained but to cm
barasa us, nine in ten will be proved to have
been influenced by some held-out induce
ment on the part of the enemy—some bribe
in the shape of soma high office. This brib
ing system was started, though in a differ
ent sphere, a year beforo tho war. Among
tbe Northern democrats, it was a foregone
conoluaion, not open tor discussion, that Mr.
I>ouglaa Has to be tb« nominee for the
Presidency. In that state of things, they
confessed that tho South was ewtftfed to
furniah tho Yioe-President. But the first
thing was to win over to tbe Douglas side
all the aspiring leading men in the South;
and the means they resorted to to do this,
showed them as recklessly unprincipled, as
they ware cunning and politic. They
iwhmmJ <a— —*'
almost every prominent man id the South as
a suitable candidate for the
to nut on the ticket with the “ little GEM»t.”
Os eourse, but one man could get the position,
—but ail the rent were bound to feel a little
tenderer tow-wide the party that had so tick
led them, than they did before; and the
result proved that of the “ thousand and
one ” Southern men, more or less, suggested
by this, that, or the other little paper or
politician, aa fit to ride behind the little
Giant, half of them went squarely over to
Douglas, a fourth went half-way over, while
the meat of the remainder dwindled down
to very indifferent supporters of the Breck
rnridge ticket This Vioe-Presidenoy game
of tie Douglasites paid very handsomely;—
for without it, it is doubtful whether the
Squatter Sovereignty ticket oould have com
manded a oorporni’s guard of the leading men
of the Bouth. With this precedent right
before Linooln’s eyee, no wonder he essayed
the same system; and, aa mania not incor
ruptible, no wonder it proved a good invest
ment to the North, and, per contra, about the
worst blow the poor Sooth ever received.

The Hon. A. 11. Stephens, in a letter to
Montgomery Blair, of the 28rd July, which
has just been published in the Xational In
te'liji ncer, nia&es n»c of the folkrwing re
markable expression :
44 Indeed, (yon will rXcUsc me ;n saving
it, but it is the truth,) 1 would be Willing
to offer up pn(r lift itself, if by so doing, this
great result, (s speedy, full, and perfect re
storation ol ibe Government under the Con
stitution, and its permanency t tnd'r that Con
mute standi,) could be obtained,
and peace, union, harmony, prosperity, hap
piness, and constitutional liberty be thereby
secured to the millions now living, and the
untold rnilliocs hereafter to lire on the con
tinent."
44 Under that Constitution a* it now
stands!" And, pray ! how does it no>r
stand s and what is it but sn old mutilated,
violated, eviscerated, prostituted thing that
has not pretended to a particle of live
virtue during the last fire years ? President
Johnson himself confesses that the Consti
tution was scrolled up during the war, and
laid on the shelf—in other words, that it
wa» most shamefully abused and misused—
and all oi his efforts to take it down and re
introduce it, we know, have been signally
thwarted by the Radicals.
If the Senator is so keen to be immolated
in testimony of hia great love for an old hag,
-soiled with prostitution—not claiming even

to step forward and offer hitnself a sublime
sacrifice. The offer comes in note at least

Seward and tiik Caulk —Of all the
congratulatory addresses or responses elicit,
ed by the completion of the Atlantic Tele
graph, Seward’s alone had !o be disfigured
by bad taste and coarse irrelevancy. How
much of the malevolent fiedd, chuckling over
the success of souio diabolical project, is con
veyed in the following, which we clip from
his reply to the letter of Cyrus W. Fields :
“If the Atlantic cable had not failed in
185S, European States would not have been
led into the great error of supposing that civil
war in America could cither perpetuate Afri
can slavery or divide this Republic.”
In this fling at some body—or, rather
every body, but himself, the author of the
“ irrepressible conflict ” doctrine—it is hard
to eliminate from the diplomatic circumlo
cution of the verbiage, the precise premisses
he is laying down, and still more difficult to
see how he makes out his conclusion, or in
ference. He happened to have a paroxysm
of meanness on him—or rather happened
not to have a paroxysm of goodness on him
—and was determined to vent it, whether lie
could do it by a natural association of cause
and effect, or by just recklessly doing it, be
it ealled forth or not called forth by tho oc
casion.

By some curious coincidence it appears

General Grant has declined sending troops
to Annapolis, Maryland, to assist the Freed

as tending to increase the evils it seeks to

An Atrocious Article. —ln Brown*
low’s Knoxville Whig of the first of August
l is a leading article, of which the following
is the concluding paragraph :
It is the settled purpose of the traitors at
the North, and the rebels of the South, to in
volve tiic country in another bloody war, and
this they aim to do during the next two years,
under the lead of Andrew Johnson. An at
tempt to force Southern traitors into their
seats in Congress with bayonets will be made
the occasion for the outbreak. Let the des
pot now at the head of the Government at
tempt a thing of this kind if h« dare. A
millio” of gallant l nion men will at once
appear in the District of Columbia, surround
ing both the Capitol and the White House,
disposing of the heads of the leading traitors
after the most approved atylo of the age in
which the King of England lost his head.
If another war shall be forced upon the coun
try, the loyal masses, who constitute an over
whelming majority of the people of this great
nation, intend it shall be no child’s play.—
They will, as they ought to do, make the
entire Southern Confederacy as God found
the earth when he commenced tlie work of
creation, “ without iorui and void.” They
will not and ought not, leave a rebel fence
rail, out house or dwelling in the eleven se
ceded .States, And as for the rebel popula
tion, let them he exterminated. And when
the war is wound up, which should be done
rapidly, and with swift destruction—let t..e
lands be re-surveyed and sold out to pay the ;
expenses of the war, and settled only by a
people who will respect the Stars and Stripes
Gen. Grant. —A Washington corres
pondcrit of a Hartford paper says of Gen. i
Grant:
All talk about his agreeing with the Pres- ‘
ident’s policy is Copperheard lying: there!

agrees with Ueu. Logan, and with his most
intimate of friends, Mr. Washburno, mem
ber from the Galena district, who is now
lying ill at the General’s house Mr.
M ashburne is a prominent Radical. Look
at Grant’s recent order. The President
wonld put his foot on it if he dared. It
would bo open war between the two men
were it not for ScWard, who is a diplomat.
Johnson is a man of coarse passions, and he
would, it it was not for Seward, kill his cause
by his imprudence. The “sage of Au
burne ” knows better what should be done,
and is very anxious to conciliate Grant and
Stanton, so the coaxing process proceed
with no effect upon the General, but with a
marked effect upon Stanton, for he cannot
ia!l back upon personal popularity as Grant
can.

Civil War —We can sec no g.nd that
is to result to the republic by ianning the
flames of civil war. We have never yet, by
yielding to superior force, ignored the truth
of history, by admitting that the South was
ever in a state of rebellion. We have ac
| cep’ed the results of the late war as the
| fruits of a conquest achieved over us. The
Government of the United States, anterior
| to the late war, was admitted by ail men and
all parties to be.founded upon and controlled
by the Constitution, the Loud of union be
tween the several sovereign states composing
j it. The South never fought against, but
i sought to separate herself from the Govern
! merit, leaving it in the exercise of all the
i powers over those States adhering to it, as
j fully as if the seceding States had never left
it. This is all the South ever did, and his
j tory will be sought in vain, to sustain any
I other charge against her. In her attempted
: separation, she clung to the Constitution, the
work of her fore fathers, as the ark of her
safety, and made it the bond of connection
between the Confederate States. This is
also history. It is also history that this at
| tempted separation was defeated by a resort
-to arms. In- this status, the cessation of
hostilities between the Government and the
Confederate States, left the South. he was
|in no condition to impose terms, and thcre
! fore, not responsible for any discontent or
ill-feeling which may now threaten to deluge
I this country in a civil war. Whether right
or wfong in her interpretation of the Con
stitution of the United States, tiie South was
sincere and conscientious in the belief that
she violated no constitutional obligation by
the act of secession Indeed, secession was
resorted to to absolve her from all allegiance
to that Government she had resolved to quit
She never struck a blow against the
United States Government until absolved,
as she deemed herself, wholly from allegiance
to it, and then she fought as a belligerent
for ate; a .re government. Wc have often
heard it all,gtd that we ought to have fought
in the Union and not out of it. Hud vc
done so, we would l ave been in rebellion
against the Government. It would have
been an attempt either to usurp thegovern
tn *nt or to overthrow those wiio had n-urped
powers not belonging to the government.—
This would have been civil war. A war
to wrest from tbe hands of those cor
; trolling it, the government itself. Now that
civil war is threatened among those who
clubbed together to conquer the South, it is
the evident policy of tho South to have no
! thing to do with either party, until they set
! tie the quarrel among themselves. We
j fought for what we esteemed our rights,
whilst we had power, and ceased only when
I it would have been folly longer to contend.
I We have had to bear all the blame for one
war. For it we have been branded as rebels,
traitors, and denied equality, threatened
with prosecution for treason, visited with
disfranchisement, and refused representation
in government. If a second war is brewing
let not the South he deluded into any con
nection with any party or parties which may,
in the event of war, shuttle thorns,dvis down
to the bottom of the puck and turn the South
up as the principal in the treason.— Okatoua

A Good Cement.—Gutta percha, dissolv
ed in chloroform, so as to make a fluid of
the consistence of honey, produces a good
cement. When spread, it will dry in a few
moments, but it can be softened by heating.
Small putches of leather can be cemented on
boots by its use, in such manner as to al
most defy detection, and some shoemakers
employ it with great success for this pur
pose. It is water-picof, resisting all the
elements but heat.
