ture, and Judge Of the Supreme Court, to
take the place of Judge Buliitt, who was re-
Gently ousted for disloyalty. Tho great

aid was the favorite of the idle population Of

and sOws broadcast the seeds of trouble in

city Of the world, and men can say and pub

OF parties, one is to leave for Bridgeport this
fall, the number going cannot as yet tell;

A Huntsville (Ala) correspondent of the
Herald gives a sketch of the condition Of the
State and of the present political feeling
there. His letter presents a picture in no
way aattering to the people who took part in
the rebellion. At FIRST, on finding that all
was over with their Southern Confederacy,
they felt themselves completely humiliated
and subjugated, and were loud in their calls
on the National Government and its officers
for mercy.
But magnanimous treatment appears to
have spoiled them, and they are again be-
coming as overbearing and as imperious in
their demands as ever, and now, instead Of
being contented with privileges, haughtily
claim "their rights" The letter also says
that their hatred Of the National Govern
ment Is still as intense as ever, and they arc
determined to control their State in the old
secession and rebel interest. They will prob
ably learn the error of their ways before
long.
