A Political Revolution Mt Hand-A Heral ID
Prediction.


The New York Herald disposes of the
present political crisis in the following off,
hand Podsnap manner
Apolitical revolution must, however, take
place shortly that will mark the lines of the
parties for the next quarter of a century in
this country. In the Southern States there
will spring up two distinct factions, the
one opposing tie constitutional amend.
ment and the other favoring that settlement
of the question of restoration. The for
mer will embrace all the old tire-eaters and
WORKOUT political hacks who are set aside
by the constitutional amendment and who
desire still to figure on the public stage and
feed at the public crib The latter will
comprise the new generation-the young
men of the South who went into the wal
through reckless gallantry, and the quiet,
respectable citizens who desire to see peace
and prosperity restored to their States
These parties will contend for political
mastery at the South among themselves,
and it is easy to predict which side will
win. In the Northern States the lines will
be drawn between the Radical Jacobins and
the Republicans. The former, probably al
the next session, or certainly in the next
Congress, led by Butler, Phillips and Ste.
vens, will proclaim their programme OF
abolishing the constitution, placing the
executive as well as legislative power in the
hand of Congress, and Selling upon the
governments of all the Southern States and
holding them as subdued provinces. The
Republicans will draw off in distinct Con.
sentative party against the Jacobin Radi
Gals, and the late Democrats, totally de-
molished and wiped out as an organization
in the elections of this year, will select
their places in one or other of these new
divisions Eventually the Southern consti
tutional amendment party will combine
with the Republican party and form the
great national organization that will elect
the next President and rule the nation fol
the next quarter of century.
This breaking up and reformation of pc
lltlcal organizations will be more complete
and distinct than nything OF the kind that
has occurred in this country since the for
nation of the old Republican and Federal
parties. 1t will be greater and more sweep
ing than that, as the nation is more power.
full and the issues more vital than they
were in those early days of the Republic.
This is the evolution that is in store for u.s.
It will be peaceful one but who can es
innate the Importance of its results

jeff. Davts-Names of some of his late
Visitors.
FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 19-The Davis
family, in their home in the fortress by
the sea" have for several days past been
honored with the presence of numerous
visitors. The arrival here of Charles Brod-
head, Esq, of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania,
formerly State Senator, and lady a Mr.
James McKuban, of Maryland, and Mrs
Wood and three children, all bound upon
the same mission-to see Mr.. and Mrs.
jeff Davis-have been noticed, These
visits of friends to the Davis family SO Of
ten now occur as to excite very little at
tention, their going and coming being so
quietly conducted. Arriving here early in
the morning by the Baltimore steamers,
often times before sunrise, they remain at
the Hygeia Hotel for breakfast, Pand having
obtained permission from Brigadier-Gener
al II. S. Burton, commandant of the for
tress, to enter his quarters, land it is never
refused, they remain there till their visit
expires, save when attending their meals
Now and then occur the visits of his coun-
sci or more important personages !; but in
every case permission to enter the fortress
is granted, the utmost liberty of social
amenities are extended them, and unre-
stricted communication with Davis and
his family IS allowed. Occasionally an ex-
rebel officer arrives here, and although it
is said there was an order issued some time
ago strictly forbidding the presence of such
in the fortress, they have but little difficulty
in obtaining an entrance and the privilege
of visiting the prisoner.
The arrivals to-day were DR.. S. J. Whee-
Ter, of Murfreesboro', N. c., formerly col
onel of the Twelfth North Carolina Caval-
ry, and Major Barton, of the Tenth North
Carolina Artillery, both old friends of
Davis. They both entered the fortress this
morning, and remained all day.
