,,,rnr. THEIR Feelings.

TUESDAY MORNING.. ..DEo. ai' 1871.
HURTS THEIR Feelings.
Tho surrender Of Mason and Slidell
will bring down upon the head OF the
Administration fresh curses hot and
heavy from the Abolitionists and seces-
s;on;.,s. Hale will work himself into
another rage, aud his Southern confrere'
jeff Davis, will howl with keenest 'nd'g-
nation at the act. What a pity it Is that
men Of such even sympathles could not
be kept together and fight together
They both want to get up row win
old England; both hate the present Ad-
ministra,ion, and denounce Its conserva-
tism. II cannot be otherwise but that
n breach must now be most etfectuaiiy
made between the Administration and
the Abolition Republicans. The more
decent and respectable wing OF the he-
publican party will endorse the cohser-
vatiye position Of the Democracy, ana
and with them will form party which
cannot be shaken by Abolition and Sc
cesson hcresies. The last nail has been
driven into the coffin of the Republican
party, and what must be very aggra'
waiting, the man whom they raised up IN
1850 for their standard bearer, used
the hammer. Let the conservative cie-
rnents rejoice for the days OF the enemies
of our country arc short and full OF
trouble. Our neighbor speaks ofindlg-
nation, but we have hopes left that he
will establish himself with the friends OF
the Government, and not 90 with those
who tread in the paths Of the ungodiy.
SOME people persist IN stubbornness,
and will not yield point if ever SO
clear of being in the wrong. Our neigh
Dor is Of that persuasion. lie has no
more idea that any good can come out
Of Nazareth than he has that he is a
sinner. He persists that Nallandi CHAM
anti.renition resolutions in the Mason
Slmcll case are the offspring Of treason.
But when Senator Haze comes INTO the
Iing and breaihcs the same sentiments
beg, ana demand that they be not re-
stored our contemporary boasts ovef
his 10y atty, and votes him a patriot OF
the first water. John l.. Hale is an
aboitionst Of the Phi,lll s.Garrson
school lie has been in favor Of having
the Inion divided rather than live III
the same ,ountry with slavery; been IN
favor OF Ignoring the Constitution IN
older TO emancipate slaves. Nallandlg-
ham could not have bee, worse trail
tor, even had he joined the rebel army.
But they have both found the same level
aud have placed themselves side by side.
We wonder how they viii feel now that
the rendition has been made. They
VII utbouliCt ~ diiht, anu together Win
other enemies T. the Government de-
clare that the nation has dcbased itself
Sui will cur neighbor persist that the
one is a patriot and the other traitor.
SO IL goes.
The SUILERs. The suffers have lost
their lien upon soldiers pay, as the Pay
master General will soon ,niorm them in
a general order founded upon the act
recently passed by both houses. But
they are straining every nerve to defeat
the other measures tor the curtallmcnt
of Their oppressive privileges which are
in contemplation. Numerous letters
from soldiers aud soldiers friends, pray
ing Tor relief, arc still coming to Senator
Wilson, who has received but one in
favor OF the suffers, save those from
themselves. The bill which he will in
troduce at an earl y day will provide for
the election OF regimentai suffers by all
the commissioned officers, and for the
preparation of schedule OF articles to
be sold and Of prices to be paid. A
sutler who violates these regulations for
feits his situation and all his property in
the camp, one-half Of which is to 90 to
the iniormer.
THE Baltimore american, in noticing
the arrival of Hon. Alfred Ely in that
city from Richmond, says he was in high
spirits, and shortl y after reaching Bal
timorc proceeded 10 w Washington for
the purpose of attending to some pro-
tessional business. He states that he
was recently visited in the Richmond
Jail by Hon. Charles Faulkner, for whom
he was exchanged, and had very
pleasant interview. lie had rot been
as closely confined as was represented
by the northern papers, but allowed
pretty liberal bounds, and, withaI, was
at liberty to have the best quality Of
fare at his own expense. Ratlons ofthe
army regulation were supplied daily,
but he would not accept them when he
could get dainlier food.
