~ openly hostile TO the social organization OF
fifteen States Of the Union. Besides this, the
Governor of Alabama is instructed 10 issue
wris OF election and summon "a Convention of
the people of that State within forty days after
it is asoertained that black republican il elect
ed to the Presidency; and the Virginia Legis-
lature has also moved in the same direction
We may expect the other Southern States soon
to follow; and the fanatics of the North will
coon begin to perceive that there is deep truth
in what we have SO often told them. Lincoln's
irrepressihle conflict" cannot be carried on
without resistance and bloodshed.
GENEROSITY or THE PRINCE OF WAIEs.-The
Prince OF Wales has been scattering presents
with liberal hand during his tour In the
United States. Wherever be received any Pc
culiar marx of kindness or attention, he does
not appear to have failed in dispensing favors
an recognition of the same. In this respect be
has varied from the course of the princes who
preceded him-the Ambassadors from Japan
who confined their presents to the handsome do
nation made to the police of the leading cities
The Prince presented gold pencil to Capt
Leonard, of the Metropolitan Police it is true,
in return for some special attention paid him;
but beyond this he has not recognized the ser
vices of the force, who, OF course, be fully
understood were doing nothing more than their
duty in preserving order on an occasion Of
great excitement. He is more accustomed to
these things than our Japanese visiter.
Ills generosity to the servants of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel was indeed princely, if it be true,
ss alleged that he left 500 to be distributed
among them. His liberality to the crew of the
Harriet Lane, to whom he presented $500, was
on like scale, and bis recognition OF the at
tentioDs Of Captain Faunee was handsomely
demonstrated by the present Of aspendid gold
chronometer. To the Superintendent of the
Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, who
piloted him to and from Richmond, he gave
magnificent hresstpiR set tn diamonds. Madam
Leduc, the sister OF Mr. Spencer, who enter
tanned him during his shooting excursion on the
pIairies, was the recipient of a costly bracelet.
In short, everywhere be went ne lett souvenir
OF bis visit and an acknowledgment Of kindness
received. During bis brief visit 10 this city he
made some very large purchases from Ban,
Black d CO., left some heavy orders with Bra
dy, the photographer, ard became a customer
OF several other establishments also, thus dis
pepsing his iavors and his gold pretty extern
sively ON all sides.
A curious incident occurred during the pro
gress Of the Prince mp Broadway on the.oay of
bis arrival, which proves bin to be possessed
OF much discernment and good sense An en-
thnsiastic sovereign rushed towards the car
riage, and, extending his hand, yociterously
prayed God 10 bless the Prince to bless bis
mother and to bless every one ana everything,
in general terms The Prince smiled, and good
naturally took the extended hand of the entbu-
eisstic citizen. A policeman, embroidered by
The condescension, then offered his hand also;
but the Prince drew himself up and
turned away, at the came time apolcgiz-
ing to the Mayor, who eat beside him, and ex'
planning that be recognized the distinction be-
tween private citizen Offering his hand,
through feeling of hospitality aud welcome,
and public servant on duty doing the same
thing. This little incident argues an amount
OF discrimination and selEpossession on the
part Of the Prince not often to be found in so
young man.
