lMr. .Clay and Kossnth.

We have been kindly permitted, says the N:
o. Beeof Friday morning by a gentleman OF
this CITY to transeSbe the following passage rom
a letter received BY bin a-day or two ago, from
the illustrious and venerable Henry Clay. 1t IS
in reference to subject concerning which mncn
has been said. While Kossuth has exhonerated
himself from the charge of disrespect to, or N
tuperation of Mr., Clay, if we understand nm
Alright, he still believes that the publication OF
the particulars of their interview was oreacn
of confidence, at which he was excessively pro,
voked." From Mr.. Clay's language, it would
appear that this interview was not regarded as
confidential and that Kossuth has no night
whatever to complain of its having been made
public. We think so too.
WAsnINGToN, MARCH 80, 1881 have new
er distinctly understood what Mr.. Kossuth said
of me at Louisville l certainly had given hlm
no cause of offence The interview between HIM
and me cannot be regarded as private, as 1t
certainly was not confidential one. 1t was at
tended by three members of Congress, and the
ATTORNEY of the United States for this district,
and would have been by Others, but for my fee
bic state of health. What had said in my in
terview with Mr.. Kossuth was variously and
sometimes contradictory represented in the news
papers. Under these circumstances Mr.. Ewing
one of the members in attendance, prefaced the
statement which has been published, and the
substantial accuracy of which had been verified
by another attending member. Over my own
sentiments and language thought had entire
control, Just as Gen. Cass thought proper to
state to the Senate of the United States, what
he had said to Mr.. Kossuth upon their first in
terview. Mr.. Ewing, in his statement, treated
Mr.. Kossuth with perfect respect, and said moth
ing to com7romt him in the slightest degree.
Such. my dear sir, was the origin and such the
motive of the publication alluded to. l am,
with great respect, your friend and obedient
servant H. CLAY.

Col JAMES CHEsNUr, JR.-This gentleman
has been nominated in the Columbia State
Rights Republican, by one ofits correspondents,
as the successor fthe Hon. ]. A. Woodward,
in the U. S. Congress. Col. Chestnut is well
known to our readers to be, not only an accom-
plished gentleman, but also an able and distin-
guished politician.-Fair field Herald.
We know of no gentleman in either District
comprising this, the third Congressional District,
more able or better calculated to represent us in
Congress than Col. Chesnut.
His we'll known ability, added to his affable

pie love to honor and certainly no better or more
iudicious selection could have been made.

RESPECT OF AeE.-The Spartans obliged
their youth to rise up in presence Of the aged and
offer them the most honorable seats. At a thea
trical represtation, when an old man, an Athe-
nian, came too late to be able to procure good
seat, the young Athenians unanimously endea-
vored to sit close and keep him out. Abashed
at this he hastily made his way to the seat appoin-
ted for the Lacedemonians they al immediate
Fy rose, and received him in the most honora-
bic manner. The Athenians, struck with sud-
den sense of virtue, gave a thunder Of applause
and the old man exclaimed, the Athenians
know what is right, but the Eaeedamonians
practice it.

LOUIS NApoLEoN's PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
The following description Of the Prince
President" is from the correspondent Of the
New York Commercial and IS the fullest that
we have yet seen: ( 'c''Hrd
"The Prince appeared in tolerable spirits, I
stood near him for some time, and observed him
closely. He is A years of age and in person,
Of vulgar mould-stout and square shoulder
ed, and stiff in his manners. He never seems
at ease, and when standing he rocks slightly
from one foot to the other ike sailor. he
often relieves seeming uneasiness by passing
his fore-fnger over his moustache. His hair IS
thin and brown, his countenance dull and stolid,
his eye half closed and fshy. On the present
occasion It was elighted by a sort Of pearl-oyster
radiance, but l saw no stronger demonstration
of emotion. He ate and drank with apparent
relish, and for the first time, he slept at the Tuly
leries. How many dreams of ambition were
that night fulfilled. Yet, after all it is quite
possible that he spent happier hours in his pri-
SON at Ham, that he can now command. either
at the Tu;lleries or Hysee. he cannot but be-
aware Of the bitter curses that are every day
called down upon his bead, by the thousand 1c-
TINS of his tyranny, m prison and in exiils.. Nor
can he be unconscious of the bodily peril ip
which be constantly stands. It is now ascer-
tanned that the STORY Of his having been shot 6y
q selher-one of the Chasseurs Of Vincennss--
is quite true. This took place in the court Of
the Elysee, between f2 and o'clock at uight-
when the President was about to enter IN his
carriage to 60 10 the house of bis mistress, near
BY. The bullet grazed bis shoulder, but infict-
ed no wound. The man was instantly secured.

WAsH1NeroN, April lo-Every prominent
movement in regard to the the next Presiden-
tial election is looked upon here with intense in.
terest: Yesterday, some sensation was produced
by the intelligence from Albany, that the Legis.
lative Wing Caucus had unanimously declared
in favor of General Scott as the Wing candidate
for the Presidency. It appears that there were
some thirty Fillmore or Webster members who
did not attend the Caucus, where the majority
was known to be opposed to them. 49,.
Last evening, the general Caucus Of Wing
members OF Congress was convened at the Cap
itol. The object of the meeting was to fix the
time and place for the Wing National Conven-
ton. Even as to this, there was some difference
of views. Among the places talked Of, were New
Yo-k, Philadelphia Baltimore, Annapolis, Rich
mond, Cincinnati, and Louisville. As to the time,
the 18th of June, or the 1st of July, were pro-
posed. s,:s'sHas,, "a -,
But in the general caucus the proceedings did
not 90 so far as even to discuss the main object
of the meeting. Some of the Southern Wings
made preliminary difficulty in regard to plat
form upon which the whig party was to stand, as
national party. Resolutions were offered in re-
gard to the Compromise, and thereupon very
warm debate ensued. After discussion or
wrangle of four hours the Caucus, without doing
anything, was adjourned to meet on Tuesday
week, tho goth inst. ,+s
There may be the Wing National Convention,
but there will be no Convention Of National
Wings. It is not likely, according to present
appearances, that the Wings who support the
compromise and who designate themselves as
national, will 60 into Convention with a par
ty which they consider rs sectional
The short coming of the Northern Wbigs up
on the Compromise question in the House last
Monday, has produced agood deal Of soreness,
on the part of their Southern allies. ss t4iy
The apportionment question is not finally set
tied by the Senate. But it is settled that South
Carolina shall have representative for her frac-
ton, and that California shall have two members.
An effort is next to be made to allow an addition
al representative to each State, whose portion
shall be equal to that assumed for Calisornia-to
wit: $4,000. This will bring in four States
