The Day we Celebrate.

1.-THE following dtty by Miles Riley gives so
correct photograph, it were, of the mixed
vet super-exuberant feelings with which the good
news of the capture of Richmond was received,
that we take the liberty of transcribng it to our
columns from the New York Tribune, in which
paper it first appeared

LEE-Of this rebel General, who took such
an active part in inaugurating rebellion, the
Stockton Independent says: . If we had our way
omnipotent we should make such an example OF
this man as would be very apt in the long future
to induce military men to reflect well before
blndly following thieving demagogues into the
hurly-burly of rebellion. We should hang him
as high as Hannah, and with as little pity as we
would kill snake or a mad dog That's the
true doctrine according to our notion.

BIA1R.-There is no man in the nation
towards whom the radicals to-day entertain
deeper cnmIty than Montgomery Blair !;
yet there is no man who has more influence
with President Johnson. Says Times
Washington correspondent:
1t is worth while to observe, in connection
with the stand which Mr. Blair took in regard
to- the Monroe doctrine, she footing upon
which he himself sran6s at the White House.
He is not member o! the Cabinet perhaps
| ought to say be is not get member of the
Cabinet; but certainly no member OF the
Cabinet has more influence over the Pres-
dent than Mr.. Blair. As single illustration
of this fact, take the Federal appointments
for the State of MARYLAND. which have Just
beeh made. 4 different set of men were
appointed by the President ten lays ago.
Mr.. Blair objected to them. He came on
since delivering his great speech, and, while
the who,a country vas ringing with it. saw
the Preside.t. talked to him freely about the
matter. ti:~ could do this without improprie-

pre'aiied or Mr.. johnson 10 revoke the ap-
poihtments, and then he made on, a list of
the men whom he desired to have anpoiu,ed.
and the President appointed them according.
II. Such is Mr.. Biair's power at the White
House. 1t was while descending the stairs
there, after this interview, that he met Mr..
Seward. The greeting between the two was
worth seeing Mr.. Seward was greatly en-
barrassed Mr.. Blair not at all 50. Neither
one was disposed to stop
