THE REAL DrsuNioN;srs.-The leading men
of the South are not fools, whatever else they
may be. They know that the rebel states lie
at the mercy Of the federal government, and
they are ready to accept in good faith the terms
which the executive is disposed to accord them.
To suppose otherwise is to suppose that the
Southern politicians are idiots. The Massa-
chusett> Jacobins insist, however, that they are
all knaves and utterly insincere in their promises
to pursue the only course consistent with their
own interests and the interests Of the Southern
masses. Mr.. Sumner denounces them rs
"vipers," and Gays they must be cleft out in
the cold" In his late speech before the IRE.

impracticable fanatic intimated in plain terms
that his party would be satisfied with nothing
less than negro rule in the South. the last,

The inevitable John Brown was, of course,
dragged from the grave to which the law con-
signed him. for the purpose of being eulogised
as something little less than demigod Be.
cause Brown embraced pickanniny on his
way to the scaffold, Mr.. Sumner is Of opinion
that Congress is bound to embrace the whole
negro population Of the South, and to disfran.

construction policy was bitterly assailed at the
Massachusetts pow-wow, and he was given to
understand that he must either change his plans
or look out for war to the knife from the Sum.
ner faction. There are no disunionists now in
the South. All the late rebel leaders acquiesce
in the new order OF things. The New England
Jacobns and their confrees in other parts Of
the North are the sole impediments to the
speedy and complete restoration Of the republic.

THE CUlLLortNE.-1t was announced few
DAYS since that President johnson had removed
the postmaster at Davenport. Iowa. 1t has
since TRANSFERRED that this removal was made
wholly for political reasons. Mr.. Russell, the
gentleman who is removed, is republican, and
was the author of the resolutions adopted by
the "Uuion" convention in that State, and his
removal was based upon representation of
this fact to the President, accompanied by ex-
tracts from newspaper at Davenport, of which
Mr. Russell is the responsible editor. The
new postmaster was formerly republican, but
now acts with the democracy, and voted for the
democratic candidate for governor at the late
election in Iowa. This case, in connection
with the recent order from Washin- ton renri-
handing federal officers for contributing money
for the success Of the Union candidates In New
York and Pennsy lvania, is regarded as prece
dent for the Prcsident's future action.-Ma.

to purchase lumber, nails, &c, for the building
of wheat warehouse at CouNovER. He pur.
chased the nails and paid for them, bought his
lumber of Burlingame, got car for shiI ment,
hired three or four hands to assist him at the
NORTH McGregor depot, threw off his coat and
went to work loading the car He was out of
sight of his coat for short time, (getting a
drink of water) came back and completed the
loading, took his coat On his arm, walked to
