Secretary and Clerk of the Legislature.

Secretary and Clerk of the Legislature.
WE are glad to see so general feeling
among the Republican party in favor OF the
reelection OF A. W. Benedict, Esq, as Clerk
OF the House, and G.. w. Hammersley, Esq,
as Secretary of the Senate of the STATE.
Both these gentlemen have been acting for
months as Secretaries OF the State Central
Committee, and in that position, at once the
most thankless and most arduous of the cam
paign, have acquitted themselves with fidelity
and sue cess. The Importance OF having
well-constitu' ed Committee canuot be over
estimated. Upon it depends the management
OF the campaign. All the forces of the party
must be directed, controlled, and turned into
the proper and most effective channel. Years
of experience, as we'll as an enthusiasm in the
cause, have we'll qualified Messrs. Benedict
and Hammersley for the task and they have
so far exerted their utmost as to receive the
public mention Of that most efficient OF Chair
men, Colonel Frank Jordan.
They have been for the past few years in
the positions of Clerk and Secretary to our
Legislature, and by ability and familiarity
with the routine of parliamentary duties,
have well merited the compliment oil re-
election. There seems to be not the slightest
| doubt but that they will once more fill their
old posts, as their removal w,uld retard the
business of the session, and lose the State two
faithful servants and the Legislature two of
the most efficient officers which have ever
worked in its halls.

BIsMARK'S OPINION OF THE PRUS-
SIAN PEOPLE.

The Paris Steele prints a conversation be-
tween BIsMARK and distinguished French
man, who visited-the Prussian Premier at
Berlin lately. BIsNrARK is reported as say
ing, among other things:
"While France and Italy form great So
cial communities, animated by the same
spirit and the same sentiments in Germany
individualism predominates Every one
lives for himself, with wife and children in
his small corner, cherishing a theory of his
own, always suspicious of his government
and his neighbors, and always Judging by
his own, and not by the general view. The
sentiment of individualism, and the desire to
contradict, are developed in Germany to an
incredible extent. No government wiu erer be
popular IN Prussia, UhGteuer It man be. TIE
great majority lCU Arrays oppose. The fact of
Its being the government, and acting author
itatively toward the individual, brings it
into bad repute with the moderate party,
and still more with the advanced section.
Neither the liberal nor the reactionary min
lstries have found favor with our politi-
Clans"
The meaning of that is, that the Germans
are incapable of self-government, don't know
what is for their own good, and, therefore,
must be governed by some single and con-
trolling will. That is the basis of Bis
Marks indifference to the repugnance of
the Prussian people to go to war with their
own German brethren; and is, in fact, the
basis on which arbitrary power everywhere
builds its authority over the people.

RADICAL BrrrERNEss.-We present the
following extract from rerbOtim report OF
the speech of ARNELI, at the Capitol, on
Wednesday night. When it is recollected
that this man obtained contract for fur
nishing supplies to the rebels" his bitter
TRADE viii be duly appreciated:
Because we won't consent to turn loose a
set Of madmen on the community, we are
proscriptive and despotic; the fifteen thou
sand dead in the battle Of Nashville, are if
teen thousand reasons against rebels voting.
Law is power; force; not persuasion, not
Cancellation. If so, 60 10 your jails and
penitentiaries, bring out your horse thieves,
and say, Hold up your hands: YOU do sol
EMMY swear that henceforth and forever.
you will steal no more horses, so help You
God Go, reconstructed horse thief! This
is a parallel case. Hair-splitting logician,
Constitutional quibbler, are not murder and
arson higher crimes than horse-stealing?
Yet You say 10 the criminal convicted Of
this highest Of crimes Hold up your hand,
YOU do solemnly swear that you will murder
no more citizens Of the United States, starve
no more Of her soldiers in Andersonville
pens, and that you will be an Abolitionist for
the balance Of your days-so help you God
Go, reconstructed traitor Now if the hight
est Of crimes can be so sCora dlcug, SO that i
never happened, why not try that same doc
trine on horse thieves? Ifvou are going to
be conciliatory, why not pardon the little
fellows ~

TIE Senate recently, by a resolution, re
quired the Secretary of the Treasury to send
to that body duly certified copy of the
official oath of ALBERT ELMoRE, Collector
Of Customs at Mobile. A day or two since
the Secretary complied. and from the oath il
appears that Mr.. GILMORE swore that he had
never voluntarily borne arms against the
United States, and that he had never volun-
tarily given aid and comfort to persons en-
gagged in armed rebellion, etc.
In reference to the recital in the preamble
of the resolution that Mr.. GILMORE is alleged
TO have held Office under the late Confeder-
ate Government, and also to have otherwise
given aid and support to the same, so that
he therefore could not honestly and truth
fully take the oath prescribed by law, the
Secretary deemed it to be his duty to say
that the Department was informed before the
appointment that Mr.. ELNroRE had never
held office under the late Confederate Gov
eminent, nor given the same aid and sup
port; that, although a resident of Alabama
during the war, and at one time a sub-oficer
of the Alabama Legislature, yet that he
never took the oath ofallegiance to the Con-
federacy, and was uniformly and always OPP
posed to The rebellion.
This oath may be sufficient to permit Mr..
GILMORE to hold a ministerial Office, in view
of the fact that he never give aid or support
to the Confederate authority. But will
similar oath or any oath admit Mr. ARSELL
and Mr.. SToKIS to seats in the House Of
Representatives Ii is a fact that the first
was a party to contract to furnish rebel
supplies, and donated money to equip rebel
companies, and the other is the author of
letter exhorting young men TO arm against
the LINCOLN administration. The Radical
Senate strains at a gnat. VIII the Radical
House swallow two such camels?

EVEN the Radicals of the Northwest are
beginning to discover that if the old tariff
was oppressive, the increase of duties now
proposed, and in part already adopted by
Congress, win render it unbearable. The
Chicago Tribune, one Of the most rabid sup
porters Of the faction now in power de
nounces the Amendatory Tariff bill as "a
pure scheme Of plumber without the slight
est excuse or palliation," and threatens to
hold "every Western member Of Congress
who votes for It, whatever his politics may
be, up to the exeeration Of his defrauded
constituents

THERE is a Latin maxim which says that
1t is right to be taught by an enemy. During
the war the loyal press and speakers of this
country were accustomed to denonce nearly
all the English journals, the English people,
and the English ministry, as enemies to the
Government under the Union, and as allied
in sympathy with the Confederate cause. No
exponent of public opinion on the other side
Of the Atlantic received more abuse than the
London Saturday ReUiew, the ablest, and most
scholarly, brilliant and impartial weekly,
published in the English language. Accept
ing the Radical view that this paper was and
is an enemy to the United States it may be
wise to heed such remarks as these, which
we find in the last number received:
The Radical leaders are fulfilling with
scrupulous accuracy theprophecies of foreign
observers who were commonly denounced as
enemies of the American Republic To the
old question, what they fought for, they re-
ply in substance that their object is not to
restore the Union, but to secure the triumph
of their party. 1t is evident that an indie
pendent Confederacy would be a less inoon-
venient neighbor than a conquered and dis
affected province with eight millions of in
habitants. The enemies of the United States
never wished them worse fortune than the
possession of an enlarged and exaggerated
Ireland.

From the National Intelligencer Conservative
We hail with great joy and satisfae-
ton the call for National Union Conven-
ton, which appears in our columns TO-DAY.
1t is announced to the country under the
auspices Of names that, since the outcrop-
ping of the conspiracy against the President
against the Constitution, and against repub-
lican Of government itself, are enshrined in
all true hearts for their self-sacrifcing and
courageous efforts against Overwhelming
odds to still higher exalt the standard of the
Union, with not a stripe erased and not a
star obscured. As said NAPOLEON to the
French people, at the dawn of disaster to his
army, before allied hosts on the bloody field
Of Dresden, Let all that love me follow me;
so let all the people Of this country who ad-
mire and confide in ANDREW JOHNSON, who
stand that by his policy and principles
strike the resounding shields of departed
patriots and rally in serried ranks against
the worst form of hostility to constitutional
government that has ever yet developed itself
in American affairs"
From the Washington Union DemOeratic,)
1--WE cordially indorse the purpose of the
proposed convention, called as it is, under
the auspices of Conservative Republicans
1t presents catholic and comprehensive
basis, which must recommend itself to the
cheerful consideration of all Republican
supporters of the policy of President JOHN
SON. We urre upon the
Conservative Republican citizens of the
country 10 respond to the call, and send their
misrepresentation to this convention. With
a concert Of action on the part Of the Democracy
and The Conservative Republicans, on broad
and comprehensive platform of Endorsement
of President JoHNsoN's policy, Radicalism
will be swept out of existence, ana the eoun-
try restored to its old happy and prosperous
condition"
