From the Vicksburg Herald, Nov. q.
As prominence is again given to the let
ter of President johnson to the late Pro-
visional Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi,
in which it is said the President urged the
doctrine of impartial suffrage" so-called,
we feel authorized to state from recent
conversation with Governor Sharkey, that
he is utterly opposed to negro suffrage in
any way it can be fixed, partial or impair
tial. He also believes that Congress has
nothing to do with the subject, and cannot
legally touch it. It belongs exclusively to
the States, each State acting for itself No
compromise between Congress and the
President can affect the rightsof the States,
and no State ought to accept such compro-
mise, no matter how favorable, without
being consulted. Our conversation oc-
Cured with the Governor within the last
ten days, and although not designed for
publication, we believe these to be his
views honestly entertained, and now that his
name is used in such connection as viii be
likely to misrepresent him, We take the
liberty of putting them forward.

WHATDo THEY NIEAN !.

The New York Independent which
treads closely upon the heels of Wendell
Phillips, SAYS eff it should call for a list
could get more names of Republicans than
its fty-six columns could print in solid
type, all subscribed to the solemn declara.
ton that the Republican party stands I'M
pledged to make the pending amendment
the basis of reconstruction" There is not
doubt ofthe truth of this assertion. There
are very few Republicans certainly no
Radicals, who are pledged ito make the
pending amendment the basis of recon-
struction," and now that the elections are
over, there is no object in conceaIing Che
fact. Before the election the impression
was sought to be made that the ratification
of the amendment by any Southern State
would insure the admission Of the congress-
ional delegation from that State, but that
WIS soon exposed as dodge to beat the
Copperheadsp Early in the canvass Wen
dell Phillips, in his outspoken way, ex-
posed the hypocrisy Of the Radical leaders
who sought to make or permitted this i'm
preston to be made, and denounced the
amendment as ga trick to tideover the fall
elections" The South will find that Phil
lips ard the Independent correctly repre-
sent the intention Of the Radical party in
regard to the proposed amendment and the
Southern States, The Radicals have Sc
cured a majority in the next Congress and
while they will insist upon the ratification
of the amendment they do not intend
that the South shall have any other voice
in shaping the legislation by which the
country is to be governed. The Washing
ton Chronicle announces itself in favor of
the policy of having State governments
South in the hands of the blacks and a
small minority of the whites" In this
there is little doubt the Chronicle fore
shadows Radical desires and intentions. IF
they can secure the ratification of the pro-
posed amendment by the requisite number.
Of States to give it force of law, they will
find pretext for placing the State govern
ments South in the hands designated by
their organ. The friends Of the proposed
amendment have not shown the first sub
stantial reason, nor can they, why the South
should place itself still further atthe mercy
of faction who are animated by a common
sentiment of hatred for the white race of
the South. Some of the more prudent Of
the Radicals, like Chief Justice Chase, be-
gin to appreciate the fact that the weapon
with which that party seeks TO annihilate
the South''has double edge, andis as likely
to involve the whole country in irretrieva-
BILE ruin as the South. They, therefore,
ask the South to make a proposition for a
settlement of this question which menaees
them as well as us. That is slight indi-
cation that the madness Of fanaticism has
about spent its fury, but st is little
hope that the next Congress can be brought
up tothe point Of doing justice TO the South.
If the country can survive the reign Of that
Congress, there is hope.

A SMALL AFFAIR.-Hon. Isaac R.
Hawkins, a member of Congress from
West Tennessee, being on his way to the
Federal Capital, stopped in this city yester-
day, and RECALLED the members of the Lee
gislature with Radical speech. Hawkins
is a very clever man-fgured as a soldier
in the war and cannot get over the mishaps
he met in that role. He thinks Forrest is a
monster fifty-six feet and seveninehes high;
and that's his politics and platform.

Do You WANT A PosToFFICE ?--0ne
half the people of Tennessee will answer
this question afirmatively. The way to
get it is to address memorial to the Post.

which you want it, aud recommend some
neighbor, wko can take he oath, as a suitable
person for the Office Of. Postmaster; and
then send the application to your member
of Congress, and request him to lay it be-
fore the Postmaster General. This will
give every community Postofice, and we

applications are forwarded to Us, we will

THE PREsIDEN - Y IASDl IUBGE



1t is generally known that Chief Justice
Chase has been granted two long private
interviews by the President recently, and
much Speculation has arisen thsreupon ia
The minds Of the Washington quid nuncs.
The correspondent of the Boston Adver-
tiser states the case IS follows, and though
radical, is probably as near the truth as
any:
HThe frstlgof these was eoncefnine
Judicial matters, aud had no. connections.
with a subsequent informal meeting of the
Cabinet Ministers. At the second inter-
view, By appointmentfer that parpose, he
was asked and gave his opinions upon
the questions before the country, earnestly
advising the President to recommend the
adoption of the amendment to the-coRstitu-,
ton as a just basis Of settlement; or, ifhe was
not prepared for that, to take ground IN
favor of substituting for the, second and
third sections of the amendment universal
amnesty and impartial suffrage. The eoun-
sells of the Chief Justice have not heretofore
been followed, and there are no indications
that they will be now. In fact, Mr. john
son yesterday expressed emphatically his
determination to abide by his position"

Ex-Gov. WIN. B. CAMPBELL, member
Of Congress from Tennessee, passed through
this city, yesterday, on his way TO Wash
ington to take his seat in that body. An
answering patriot throughouta life, which
is now passing its meridian, but still pos
sessing judgment ripened by experience,
and a courage strengthened by maturity Of
thought and BY the dangers that surround
the country, his counsels ought to be re-
eeived with favor, and his convictions of
duty impress his colleagues with great force.
He will take his. seat at the expiration,
almost of the term for which he was elected;
but he win be none the less friend of the
Union and of the Constitution upon which
Its liberty and its strength rest for their
continuance. -, -s..--.-s
