Convention + getting praise ALL
around. The most charming edito-;
rails appear IN all the daily papers
but the Tribune. and after the four
years abuse that has been lavished on
the little State, the change is decided

Illness OF the Carolinians, in accepting
the condition of things, is acknow-
lodged by all except the radicals.
Their hatred of the Southern people
seems unsppeased. Slavery being
gone. their continued animosity
proves what was so often charged
against them, that they agitated, not
because they loved the negro, but
because they hated the white man of
the South. Their bitterness still finds
expression in the Tribune, in the
shape of editorials, kilograms from
North Carolina, squibs and burlesoues.
Meeting an old acquaintance the
other day, was surprised to find
him still overAowing with gall to-
wards the South. 'Why," said I,
''have you not accomplished what
you have contended for SO many
years, the overthrow of slavery, and
can you not now afford to be gene
rous?" co." he replied. ssyou rebels
are treating the negro horribly; you
are venting all your disappointment
and spite on his head" This radical
is still suffering with the old disease,
.snigger on the BRAIN and he will
die with it: Our people can afford to
laugh at the radicals, however, as
long as we have the support of Presi-
dent johnson and the Democrats and
Conservative Republicans. Apropos
to this, an enterprising correspondent
OF morning paper asserts that q
compromise has been made at Wash
ington between leading Southerners
and the radicals, on the basis of suf-
frage for such negroes as can read and
write. The writer states that the
plan meets the general approval of
the Southerners in Washington, and
that upon its acceptance by the South
ern Legislatures, the radicals will
offer no further opposition to the
admission of the Southern delegations
into Congress.
The applications for pardon have
accumulated so heavily that the Pre-
sldent has taken to signing them by
the batch. A curious paragraph is
published to the effect that the appE-
cations for pardon fill 8 rack twelve
feet high and eight wide in the Attor-
ney-General's Office. Of this pile,
Virginia contributes three thousand
documents; Alabama, fifteen hundred;
Georgia, twelve hundred; Mississippi
and North Carolina, seven hundred
each; South Carolina, FIVE hundred:
Tennessee, three hundred, and the
other States a more modest number.
The rapidity with which the Presi-
dent is now signing pardons gives
color to the rlmor that he will shortly
proclaim q general amnesty.
Max Maretzek is carrying every
thing before him in the opera. The
Herald is nowhere. Since the Italian
tnpressa'io withdrew his patronage
from the Herald, that journal has re-
ceived another heavy blow Last
Thursday. all the managers Of the city
theatres met and resolved to discon-
tinue their advertising and press work
with the Herald from to-day. The
Herald has been the great amuse-
ments' journal of the city, and the
theatrical advertising was worth to it
500, 900 per annum. But the editor
has had so lofty an estimate of his
own importance that he has presumed
to dictate to managers whom they
should and whom they should not
engage. He has exercised aperfect
terrorism over the theatres, and to
curry-favor with him and save them
selves from his abuse, the managers
have even had their printing done at
the Herald job office. But the "in-
domitable Max as Bennett used to
call him, has broken the spell, and
the managers, led off by Barnum.
