REDPATH AGENT ARRESTED IN New ORLEANS
On Tuesday, a. j. Ackerman, sub-agent employ
ed by the notorious James Redpath, the General
Agent of the Hayt Emigration Society, was ar
rested in New Orleans, on suspicion of unlawfully
tampering with negroes 1t did not appear on ex-
animation that be had done any thing criminal, but
being guilty of misdemeanor in accepting an ap-
pointment under and from Redpath, and accepting
the charge of circulating emigration documents
secretly among the free blacks, if not allowed to do
so publicly. He was notified by the Mayor that he
must leave the city the next day, the police to see
to his embarkation. Much correspondence, between
himself and Redpath, was seized, but nothing
which was explicitly eliminating beyond Redpath's
Instructions to circulate emigration "Guides" Sc
crety if he could not openly. The following is a
description and the matter of Ackerman's letter of

FATHER Us. SoN.-The Boston Courier produces
the following extract from an oration delivered in
Boston on the 4th of July, 1908, by the father of
Charles Sumner. The son of his father had better
read it:
"There is indeed no diversity of interest between
the people of the South; and they are no friends
to either who endeavor to stimulate and embitter
the one against the other. What if the sons OF
Massachusetts rank high on the roll of revolution
ary fame? The wisdom and heroism for which
they have been distinguished will never permit
them to indulge in inglorous boast The indepen-
dence and liberty we possess are the result of joint
eforts-of common dangers, sufferings and sue
cesses and God forbid that those who have every
motive of sympathy and interest to act in concert,
should ever become the prey of party chickering's
among themselves"

General Scott, it is said, will endeavor to have
TWO regiments added to the United States army the
coming summer; or, if that is not acceded to, he
two. The proportion of mounted persons in the
army is not so large as it should be, considering
the exigencies of frontier duty.

SOUTHERN OPPOSITION TO THE CABINET.-When
Mr.. Blair's nomination up, Senator Mason
assailed it on the ground that no Southern man
should hold Office uEder Mr.. Lincoln, with the
principles and policy which he had announced
Senators Clingman and Wfgfall also coineided in
this opinion, and expressed their determination to
said that while his State remained in the Union, he
would not feel himself justified in opposing nomina-
tons made from the Southern States for no other
than political reasons. In this case no exception
was urged against Mr. Blairs character, fitness, or
integrity; on the contrary, they were freely ad-
mitted on all hands. Mr.. Polk also bore testimony
to his standing and worth, which he said could
be questioned. Upon the division, Senators Mason,
Bragg, Cling gman and Mitchell voted against the
nomination; Senators Hunter, Wigfall and some
others refused to vote The same opposition was
manifested against Mr. Bates, but without discus
sion.- Wash. Cor. of the Tribune.

TIE COMMISSION OF CAPT. SCHAEFFER STILL
the District Militia had received his commission,
turns out to be untrue. Mr.. Buchanan, on an ap-
peal being made to him, ordered tito be delivered,
but the Secretary still refused on account of Capt.
Schaefer's refusal to say he would maintain his
oath to support the Constitution under all crcum-
stances. The President, not desiring to make an
issue with member of his Cabinet, allowed the
commission to remain suspended. This resulted in
the resignation of Hon. Robert Oud, who had Just
been appointed Brigadier- General of the Militia,
and the appointment OF Mr. Boteler, of this city,
his successor, has created such general dissatistac
tion among the volunteer companies that serious
difficulties anticipated Wash. Or. N. Y.
