THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.

DE SEINE AM or llE IN lEhloh.
Some attempts have been made to mystify
the object of the mission Of this gentleman to
North Carolina, as a commissioner of the
State of Mississippi.
1t has never been denied that Mr.. Thomp.
son is and has been in favor of the separate
secession of Mississippi, and that he is in full
communion with the politicians who have la
bored, and with apparent success, to insure
that result. Neither Mr. Thompson, nor any
one entitled to speak for him, will make any
denial on this point.
The most favorable construction put upon
Mr.. Thompsons case, was given by the Wash
ington Star, which, admitting that he is in
favor Of the separate secession Of the Southern
States, claims for him that he is in favor Of
reconstructing the Union afterwards, upon the
modest condition that the Southern States get
such new guarantees as they may ask for.
Gov. Pettus, of Mississippi, being seces-
sionist, has, of course, appointed none but seces
sionists to represent the views of that State.
They have been men of the stamp Of Judge
Handy, sent as commissioner to Maryland, and
whose views are well known in this vicinity.
Gov. Pettus could not properly have appoint
ed Mr.. Thompson as commissioner to North
Carolina, and Mr.. Thompson could not proper.
ly have accepted the appointment, if his opin-
ions had not coincided with those Of Missis.
sippi.
If Mr.. Thompson had been sent to South
Carolina, there might have been some color for
the suggestion that his object was to hold
them back from secession. But no such OBJ
iect could have carried him to North Carolina,
which has exhibited no disposition to 60 out of
the Union. He could have gone there with
no other intent than to excite spirit of dis
union which did not already exist.
Governor Pettus had many inducements to
select Mr.. Thompson for this mission. He
knew that the Secretary Of the Interior was a
thorough. paced secessionist and hoped he
would have a special influence in North Carroll,
ma, the State of his nativity. But, more than all,
he saw that it would give an ecldt to the cause
Of secession, to have Cabinet minister accept
u rowing commission Of disunion in the pres
ence of the whole country.
But we doubt if even Governor Pettus antici
patcd such an endorsement of notification by
the President of the United States, as the spec.
tacle of Cabinet minister accepting and act,
ing under such a commission, and at The same
time retaining his portfolio as one Of the con
stifuiional advisers Of tie chief Magistrate Of
The Union.

THE TREASON AT WASHINGTON.

THE TREASON AT WASHINGTON.
We have received the Charleston Mercury
containing in full the remarks Of Mr.. Miles in
certain interviews with the President the sub
stance Of which, as first brought by telegraph,
has already attracted the attention Of the coun.
try. The full report contains some additional
matter.
Among the things said to the President by
the South Carolina delegation, as stated by Mr..
Miles, was the following:
"Mr. President, it is our solemn conviction
that if you attempt to send solitary soldier to
these forts, that the instant the intelligence
reaches our people, aud we shall take care that
it does reach them, fer zoe hare sources Of IN
formation in Washington, so that no orders for
troops can be issued pithOut our getting IN
formation, these forts will be forcibly and i'm.
mediately stormed.'
The italicised portion Of this address was
not contained in any telegraphic account we
have seen.
1t amounts to informing the President that
notification has its friends so completely in.
stalled in official position about him, that he
can do nothing without its being instantly com.
municated to Charleston.
At the close of his remarks, as reported in
full, Mr.. Miles sad
GAS to the works at Fort Sumter, so much
the better. Let the General Government speLd
as much money as it chooses, and put the fort
in the most efficient condition, 80 long as there
is not man there to defend it. So much the
better-t must be finally ours, and the works
on an empty fortifcation, which we can con
troll and seize in moment, should certainly
not give us any apprehension. Iregret that ii
is not in my pooer 10 state things phich l knou
ccnfdentiaIiy, and which l think would pro-
duce in the minds of every member the strong
convictions entertain that we need not appre.
heud any collision, or any attempt at the use
OF those Notifications for offensive purposes

SECESSION AS A COVER FOR RAS.
CALITlES.

When the Treasury Department building
was burnt, twenty-five years ago, it was a gen.
eral belief, that it was done as means of de-
stroying the evidence of official populations.
And it is now belief, intensified by the
enormous robbery in the Department Of the In.
terror, that numerous persons, connected with
the Administration, are looking to an over.
throw of the Government their only escape
from condign punishment for robberies, which
change Of dynasty will expose.
The suspicious of the country have been
aroused for some time, but it is believed here
that the actual disclosures which are mpend-
ing, if the pirates are prevented from scuttmg
the ship, will go far beyond what has been
imagined BY the least charitable.

"THE BEGINNING OF THE END"

1t is under this caption that on Saturday
evening, the Baltimore Patriot, which is an ex.
ponent of the sound elements of Southern poll.
tics announces its acceptance of a proposition,
understood 10 command great support here.
From the Baltimore Patriot.
There is every reason to believe that the
House committee of adjustment will adopt the
proposition said to have been made by Mr..
Winter Davis, viz: to admit both Kansas and
New Mexico, as States at once-and this, with
the repeal of personal liberty bills and the
proper amendments to the fugitive slave law,
already accepted, remove all the points of diff
ference and complaint. New Mexico, it is we'll
known, has established slavery, as Kansas has
prohibited it. Thus the present relations Of
the States in the Senate would not be disturbed ;
and the South would gain even more than by
the adoption and establishment Of the Mis-.
souri, compromise line, if that were possible.
The northern boundary Of New Mexico is the
37th degree Of latitude, half degree Jinther
north than would be secured by that compro'
mise line. The difficulty in the way of the
proposition offered by Mr. Crittenden, to re.es,
tabish that line, is, that it proposes an amend.
ment of the Constitution, which requires vote
of two thirds of each House of Congress- and a
subsequent ratification by three fOurths of the
State Legislatures or Conventions; and could
not be accomplished, if at all, for two years,

For sale by French Richsten, Washington, D. C.
Who does not love to read of the exciting
adventures and hair-breadth escapes of the
hardy sons of the sea, fresh from their own
lips, and related with that air Of mystery and
romance which seems to be inseparably con-
nected with sea faring life? A visiter to many
climes and among many people, the life of the
sailor is one of daily incidents and events,
which, although real, are more romantic than
fiction. In the volume before us, the writer
gives his adventures, cruises, and rambles, du-
ring eight years of his life between the years
1909 and 1917, embracing the memorable naval
scenes of the war of 1872. The hook is we'll
written, is full of incidents and adventures, and
deserves large sale.

blended and energetically prosecuted, until we
know not what it lacks to make it all that could
