MISCELLANEOUS,

History is always repeating itself, and every
revolution produces many "Vicars of Bray"
During that period of English history when
revolutions were as frequent as they used to
be in Mexico, there fourished noted ecclesias-
tic who is known in history as the "Vicar of
Bray. In spite of the name and style Of his
lncumbency, he was by no means an ass; in
deed, he was the most cunning fox of sue
cesstul turn-coat that ever lived Tossed
backward and forward and up and down by
the frequent tempest and tornadoes of civil
war, the @Vicar of Bray" always Landed upon
his feet, hailing with delight the advent of the
triumphant party, and damning and perse-
cutting his old associates without mercy. If
the Catholics triumphed, the Vicar swore he
had always been a worshipper Of the Virgin
Mary and an admirer of the Pope. If the
Puritans turned up, the Vicar cut his hair,
talked through his nose, christened child
after Biblical character in the Old Tesla
ment with the longest of scriptural names,
and preached sermons which John Knox
would have greatly admired. If the IEpisco-
palians happened to drive the Puritans out
the Vicar submitted at once to the thirty

other men were content to save their heads
amid the whirl and chaos Of rapidly succeed
ing revolutions, the Vicar grew rich upon the
spoils of his old friends, and insolent upon the
honors heaped upon him by his old adversa-
ries. The Vicar of Bray was Successful
man." although he has not left savory repu-
tation to posterity, and tradition runs that
when he died friend of his who controls
matters below was so anxious for his society
that he sent ten devils as an escort to take
him straight down. The Vicar of Bray is the
natural product of every unsuccessful revolu-
ton, and it would be very strange if there
were not specimens of the tribe in all sections
of this great country. Minus the Wears
good luck, poor old Foote is the most noto-
rious specimen Of this sort, but the small types
of the class are abundant everywhere. Rich

The SPIRIT OF THE SoUTH.-We came
very near being run over some days ago by
the driver of bread cart On looking up we
recognized in the man who " held the rib
bons," former well-to-do citizen, who lived
at his ease in the city, occasionally rusticating
on a fine plantation on our lower coast. With
true independence he earns his bread by pro-
viding it for others. Such is the spirit that
will resuscitate the South and give it worthy
and lasting independence.-New Orleans

August II, 1000.
70 The Hon. HUGH McCULLoCH, ,Secret01ry of
the Treasury: .... -...
SIR have the honor to say, in reply to
your letter of the 18th instant, that, in my
opinion, if the two persons to whom you refer
as having resigned commissions in the naval
service Of the United States and accepted en-
ployment in the rebel naval service were born
in the United States, are, if otherwise quail
fed, competent according to the act of June
%, 1864, to be officers of vessels of the Uni
ted States f-
If they were citizeps before they engaged
in rebellion, they did not lose their citizenship
by becoming traitors. They became liable to
suffer the pains and penalties which the law
inficts upon convicted traitors, but I am not
aware that forfeiture of citizenship is one of
those pains and penalties. .H
Belonging as they d. according to the
statement in your letter, to certain classes Of
traitors who have not been pardoned by the
President, they are liable at any time to be
tried, convicted and punished for their treason.
Their conduct and associations also impressed
upon them the qualified character of enemies,
but did not destroy their inherent character as
citizens, which, by birth or otherwise, they
acquired.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES SPEED,
Attorney General.
