WASHINGToN. July ..

WASHINGTON, July %.
General B. f. Butler has been sent for by
the President, and viii have an important
duty assigned to him at once. The conduct
OF the dnmestied, aud the determination of
the late open rebels to seize the reins of pow
er in all parts of the South, show that the
spirit of the Rebellion still lives, and is fast
assuming a shape of great danger in the fu-
ture.
An examination into the conduct of Gov
ernor Wells, of Louisiana, shows that out of
two hundred and fifty appointments made
by hlm, there Is not single Union man
and OF the most important positions FIVE are
conferred upon men who lnaugurated seceS-
sion, and signed the ordinance.
Field, who assailed Judge Kelley last win
ter with murderous intent, has been made
Attorney General of Louisiana To have
served with ''valor and credit in the Rebel
army Is the main requisite for positions
Governor Wells refuses TO carry out tbe
acts of the new Constitution whenever ii
conflicts with the old regime.
LIN Virginia matters are snueh worse.
Governor Pierpont has attempted to eoncil-
late the secessionists by conferring positions
upon them ofhonor and profit and turns a
cold shoulder to the old Union men because
they are=in the minority.
All the recently elected officers are seces-
sionists of the vilest brand most of them
have been in the Rebel army. There is not
spark OF loyalty manifest 10 evidence of
regret for the past no hope of any support
for the Administration In the future
In North Carolina matters are somewhat
better, but still bad enough. Governor
Holden seems desirous of favor from the
amnestied, and being himself pardoned
Rebel, selects men OF that stamp for Office
Should these men succeed in grasping po-
lltical control all over the South, in keeping
out Northern men and capital, aud make
laws to re-establish the old status of affairs
with reference to the colored race, then sla-
very is virtually re-established with ten
fold stronger hold than ever before. A po-
htlcal party will be created in the South that
will consolidate all classes of the whites, and
who will act with Northern traitors in Con-
gress to repudiate the national debt, or to
use threats of so doing to compel recogni-
ton and adoption of either part or the
whole ofthe Rebel debt.
Parties are now at work buying up Rebel
bonds and certificates and who openly ex-
press their confidence that they win one day
be paid off, The apathy and listlessness Of
the North is surprising under threatened
dangers which are more alarming than the
warlike movements of the South, to combat
which millions Of brave men sprang to arms
Now that the Rebels intend to adopt. with
serpent-hke cunning, less bloody but surer
means to cement their power over the Gov
ernment, and re establish a system of bon
dage, on a firmer basis, nothing is heard but
gentle tones of mercy and forgiveness. which
we will do the Southerners the credit to say,
fail upon deaf ears and defiant hearts.
Ihe President has recognized Adolph Ro-
senthal as consul of the Principality of Reuss
for the State of Wisconsin.
1t is ascertaiued in inquiry that there is a
