Kentucky More Rebellious than Ever.

Correspondence of Cincinnati Gazette radical. J
LOUISVILLE HOTEL, February IA.
If any one wishes to see n rebel city, let him
come to Louisville and If he desires to breathe
the air of q disloyal State, let him move over
into Kentucky. 1t would seem as if the demon
of rebellion had come here 10 make his last
fight, and to die. Judging from what you
hear at the hotels and on the streets, You
would be led to think, If you were u stranger
in the land, tina the Confederates had just
come out of q victorious war, and that the
Federal Government was in humiliation and
disgrace. In all the show windows you see
fine portraits of Lee and Jackson, and pediers
hawk them about the streets, and thrust them
into your face at the hotels. The portraits OF
Lincoln and Grant, Sherman and Thomas,
are not in request here. They don't suit the
rebel taste.
A powerful under-current has set in here
favorable to the election of j. O.. Breckenridge
TO the United States Senate next winter. Ii
he receives the Presidents pardon and comes
home no other candidate will stand the ghost
of a chance, unless the people get their eyes
opened.
The Legislature will adjourn next Monday,
leaving the old slave code on the statute
books, and without making any adequate pro.
vision for the new order OF things; ana yet
this sullen, traitorous Assembly talks about
sustaining President Johnson God help the
President if he can derive any strength from
such support.
The Union men of this State have been made
to take back seats, as we all know, but that is
not enough TO satisfy the'rebels. A move is
now on foot to thrust into the back seats the
Old Line Democrats who staid at home during
the war, and TO put all the offices into the
hands of the lighting rebels who have recently
returned from the war. That is exactly what
the call for a Democratic State Convention
means. The Csurier represents the returned
rebel interest-the Democrat the stay-at-home
interest. The men who followed Buckner and
Breckenridge claim superior merit in the
Democratic church, and are determined TO
have all the offices. The Democrat says, sub-
stantially Rebel brethren, we are ready 10
give YOU all the right hand of fellowship, and
to embrace you as dear Democratic brethren,
hut if you set yourselves above us because you
went into the fight, d-n you, we will fight you
to the bitter end
Any one can discover, with half an eye, that
tho returned rebels are the pets of the people
are the elite, the lions, and that those old
Democrats who staid ut home are only a little
less unpopular than Union men.

CoaIseld and Tidewater Railroad.

a bill has been introduced into the Senate 10
incorporate the " Coalield and Underwater Rail
road Company" The commissioners for rails
ing subscriptions to the stock OF the company
are Messrs. +. STEARSs, SETH M. BARTON, w.
Il. WOODBRIDGE, w. G.. CLARKE, CHARLES >.
MILLS, II. l.. WALKER, JOHN G. STASARD, and
ROBERT b.. STASARD.
This road is designed to transport coal from
the Falling Greek pits to tidewater, at Ber-
muda Hundreds, or some other point below
1idewater. 1t is probable that the Falling
Creek Valley will be followed by the road,
which will in that case bring it out below
Ampthil.
Such a road would very much accommodate
GOLFERS and take the business Of freighting
coal vessels farther away from the city, not at
all TO its disadvantage. Years ago, cities We're
in the habit of opposing all movements which
had for their object the removal Of the coal
shipping business to some point beyond the
groundless apprehension of injury, and cities
now prefer that it should go off as far as it is
convenient to take it. Coal is a distributor OF
black dust, which soils and discolors every
thing, and while it does no pecuniary injury TO
Il city TO remove its wholesale handling and
storing beyond the city, it in that way avoids
4 great nuisance.
Ofcourse, in the construction of this road the
corporators should so locate it rs to accommo-
date the GOLFERS and the coal region as far as
posSible.

Congress and the Observation-Disclosures
Test OAth-Negro Suffrage.

WARRINGTON, February Il.
The more moderate Republicans are unwil-
ling TO consider that q rupture between Con.
gress and the Executive Is necessnry on account
Of the veto Of the Freedmen's bill, inasmuch a.
the veto has been sustained. III the bill had
been passed over the President, then q conflict
would exist, but there can be no conflict on
the part of the President. He Is no party TO O
conflict, because his views are sustained. If n
rupture take place, IL must be made by the
other party, whose policy has been frustrated.
II Is explained by Mr.. Fessenden that the
joint resolution shutting ont eleven States
from the Union Is intended simply for the
purpose Of ascertaining whether Congress has
any power over the subject Of reorganization
Of the Union, or whether their power in the
matter is confined to the mere examination OF
the credentials of Senators and Representa-
tiyes who may be chosen TO Congress. This
resolution Is considered much more important
than anything else before Congress. The con-
stitutional amendment, even could 1t pass the
Senate by q two thirds vote, sinks into insig-
nifcance in the comparison.
Perhaps six or eight Representatives and
Senators who nave been elected from the sece-
ded States would take the test oath. The
others would be excluded, and 1t would re-
main with the States and people concerned TO
choose, in good faith, men of unquestionable
loyalty as their representatives.
las none are In arms against the Govern.
ment now, or expect or desire to be, 1t would
be difficult to find any others than loyal men
and the fact that they would not take q test
oath as to the past would be no proof that they
are not loyal.-Editors Sun.

=, tho ,;st of nominations for judgeships sent
.nrcovernor pErRporSr, JosErH CHRISTIAN
80 ramed for the Sixth Judicial Circuit.
rn,co IouS M. GREGORY, has sent q petition
"a The Assembly, in which he claims to be
s,;u the Judge Of that circuit. He states that
ne was elected for eight years; that he quail
God IN Nav, 1850; that he has never yolun-
,ari,v abandoned the office, and that no con-
IGNITION has declared the Office vacant. He
enters upon an argument to show that the
ordinance Of the Wheeling Convention re-
ouirinc all officers 10 take n certain oath, did
not opcrate to vacate his Office: that it had
not the power TO do so. He further claims
that there was nothing in the proceedings Of
The Alexandria Convention TO vacate his judge
ship, or even impair his right TO IL. He there
fore prayed that before any election DO held
by the Assembly for a Judge of the Sixth
Judicial Circuit, il might be ascertained that
a vacancy existed in that judgeship.
He further states that in July, 1865, he came
10 Richmond and presented his account to the
Auditor for the amount of salary due to him
up 10 that day. He was referred TO the
Governor, and went to see him. The Cover
nor informed him that his Office had been vaca-
ted by the ordinance of the Wheeling Conven-
lion. above referred to. Judge GREGORY,
after examining these ordinances, still adj
hered TO the opinion that his judgeship was
not yet vacated. The Governor was very
civil during the interview, and requested him
10 write out his views. He did SO, and handed
them 10 him.
shortly after this, Governor PEIRPoISr sent
him 4 commission as Judge of the Sixth Cir
cult. Judge GREGORY, considering that 1t
being only a commission 10 an office already
held by him, determined 20 qualify. He says,
in conclusion, that the first day he ever saw or
heard of the oath required by the Wheeling
Convention he took il.
The Assembly laid the petition on the table,
and JOSEPH CHRISTIAN was, by q very large
majority, elected to the Judgeship of the Sixth
Judicial Circuit.

From wa.hinason-The Celebration, Etc.

From Washington-The Celebration, Etc.
WASHINGTON, February 22.-Washlngton's
birthday was celebrated enthusiastically IN
this city. Neither House Of Congress was I'm
session. A memorial address was delivered
at the Hall of Representatives on the late
Henry Winter Davis by Senator Cresweli.
The Washington National Monument So
eiety held It's annual meeting, at which Presi.
dent johnson was present. He was welcomed
in eloquent terms by Philip r. Fendall, Esq,
to which he made q feeling reply, stating the
satisfaction 1t gave him to participate In the
proceedings. He said, {" Let us encourage the
restoration of the Union, and remove impedi-
ments instead of throwing them in the way Of
that restoration"
The main feature Of the days celebration
was the demonstration of citizens in support OF
the Presidents policy. 1t took place at
Growers Theatre, which was crowded to Its
utmost capacity. Stands were erected outside,
from which addresses were delivered.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing and
commencing the policy Of the President, and
speeches In their support were delivered by
prominent individuals, among whom were
Honorabies Montgomery Blair, S. 5. Cox,
Thomas A. Hendricks, w. T. Wiley, of West
Virginia Trimble, of Kentucky Green Clay
Smith, Rogers, of New Jersey, and others.
Every allusion to the President was received
with deafening cheers.
At the adjournment, the meeting proceeded
in q body to the Executive mansion, where
the resolutions were presented to the Presi-
dent, who, in response, made aspeech, in which
he reiterated his devotion to the Union of all
the States, and said, in the words OF Jackson,
i" 1t must be preserved" He said that in any
alternative he was for the Government and
the Constitution. To those who have been in
rebellion, when they had complied with the
Constitution and laws, he would open the door
of the Union and restore the relations to those
who have strayed from the fold of our fathers.
He had as much spirit of resentment as
men ought to have, but we must conform our
action to the example of Him who has taught
us the duty of forgiveness. The speech was
quite lengthy, and was greeted with immense
cheers by the vast concourse present.

GENERAL GRANTS VIEWS on VARIOUS MAT
TERs.-The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial writes on the 10Th
instant:
Hon. Ben. Eggleston, an old friend of Gene
raj Grant and his family, called on the Gene,
raj n day or two ago, and had q little sociai
chat with him on the condition OF the country.
He asked him what he thought of the Freed
liked il very well, except that he thought IL
ought to be entirely in the hands OF the army,
instead of, as il is, half civil and half military.
AS the civil authorities could do nothing Win
out the military in regulating the relauons
between the freedmen and the people OF the
South, he believed that instead OF civil agents
and sub-agents, the entire machinery ought 10
be worked by the army.
The conversation next turned upon the sup.
preston of the Richmond Examiner. Grant
said the order was issued under his direction,
and met the approval OF the President. FOL
lard, the editor, had broken his parole, and the
chances were that " he would be put through
for it." Grant did not state the nature OF the
parole, but the inference from his remarks
was, that IL was a restriction from publishing
disloyal articles.
On the subject Of admitting the Southern
States 10 representation, Grant SAID ne was In
favor OF letting any loyal man In the south
vote for Congressman, and IL they elected
loyal men, all right. Eggleston asked him-a
little surprised at this apparent conservatism
how many loyal men he thought mad been
elected In the South. about sir, iacludtn9
Tennessee" said Grant. As 10 withdrawing
the troops from the South, ms some were In
favor Of, Grant said he had no idea OF doing
anything OF the kind. He couldn't tell when
1t might be done, but evidently not just YET.

The Canal Bill in West Virginia.

The ratification by the West Virginia House
of Delegates of the act of the Legislature of
this State relative to the Virginia Canal Com
pany will, we hope, be speedily followed by
similar action in the Senate of that State.
When this is accomplished, we may dismiss all
uneasiness for the future prosperity of this
Commonwealth. The ability and inclination
of the French company to prosecute the work
TO completion are beyond question. What the
Erie canal has done for New York, the extern
.sion of the James River canal to the Ohio will
do FOR Virginia.

Look Out, Greeley.

A thrill of alarm must run through all the
Radical presses, from the Tribune down. on
reading the dispatch announcing, by General
Grants authority, that the persistent pnbli-
cation of articles calculated 10 keep up feelings
Of hostility between the different sections OF
the country will no longer be tolerated-with-
Ee,o York World.
TIL veto Of President johnson is hailed with
delight by the Democratic masses throughout
the countrywide York World.
Among the signs of the times may be noticed
the fact that Henry Ward Beecher endorses the
Presidents policy, including the veto of the
F.eedmen's Bureau bill. tits manifest that IL
men like Beecher leave the Republican party,
Stevens will not have a corporal's guard at bis
hack In the House Of Representatives which
succeeds the present one.-Hs,c York World.

ment. TIL majority report was laid on the
