"HASGMAN FoorE.r Henry s. Foote,
ex- Governor of Mississippi and ex-Fede-
raj and ex-rebel Sedator, has written
book about the warand its causes, in which
he incidentally pakes the following frank
apology for his part in the transaction,
from which the title of 6 Hangman Foote"
had its origin. He writes:
. Mr.. Hale (Senator from New Hamp-
shire) poured forth in the Senate one of
the most fervid and Irritating speeches up
ON the subject Of slavery in the District of
| Columbia that | ever heard. Mr.. Calhoun
was greatly inhamed by it, and came to
the seats of my Senatorial colleague and
myself and urged us both to say something
in response to Mr.. Hale. Thus prompted,

O.-What are their present resolutions
concerning the justice Of the rebellion-do
they ct present believe that it was reasona.
bic u proper undertaking, or otherwise7
Any opinion Of the sentiment Of the
people Of Georgia upon that subject i that
resorted to by them from desire to render
their part that this was absolutely necessary
for that object. They were divided upon the
policy of the measure. There was, however,
but very little division among them upon the
question Of the right Of il. It is nov their
belief, in my opinion, and give it merely
ms, an opinion, that the secret, if not the only
hope for their liberties, is the restoration of
the Constitution Of the United States, and of
the government Of the United States under
the constitution.
Q.-Has shere been any change of opin-
ions as to the right of secession as a right in
the people or in the States
Al think there has been very decided
change Of opinion as to the policy of thoss
who favored it. / think ~ people generally
are sstisfed Sufficiently with the experiment
never 10 resort to Tt MEASURE Of redress
again,by force, whatev9k nay be their own
abstract ideas upon that subject. They have
given up all ideas Of . maintenance Of those
opinions by resort to force. They have
come to the conclusion that it is better to ap.
peal to the force Of reason and justice to the
head of legislation and the courts, for the
preservation of the principles OF constitution
al liberty, than to the force Of arms. It ID
my settled convictionthat there ID no longer
an idea cherished at all in the public mind of
Georgia, of ever resorting again to secession
or to the exercise of the right of secession
that the whole policy of the war for their
rights is, in my opinion, totally abandoned.
Q.-But the opinion as to the right, as
| understand, remains substantially the same.
Al cannot answer as to that some may
have changed their opinion in this respect. 1t
would be an unusual thing as we'll as diff
cult matter for q whole people to change
their conviction upon abstract truths or prin
ciples. | have not heard this view Of the
subject debated or discussed recently, and
wish to be understood as giving my opinion
only on that branch of the subject, which is
of practical character and of Importance.

How greatly different would have been the

If Lot had lived in Keokuk his domestic his
tory would not have been nearly so checker
ed Cause why? Because ours differ from
the burough in which he located, in that
ours is ''morias'' town. No such irrepress
IDLE chaps formed the''plugs" and ''b' hoys"
of that rascally old city that went so deserv-
eddy nnder In such an extraordinary manner
and furnished birthstone strata for the bed
of the Dead Sea.
Try to itemize in Keokuk if you want to be
confirmed in the faith that our municipality
is quiet one and incapable of sensations
and improprieties. The mummes that furn-
ish the only remaining representatives of old
Thebes are interesting in their way, but would
be rum customers to get any local news from.
Pompei is good enough in its way, but its an
cient tenants would be q poor public to item
ize among.
Comparisons are odious'' said the astute
Dogberry, and we are running no parallel be-
tween our goodly city and old Thebes or
Pompei. Keokuk prospereth and is full of
life. But the inhabitants hereof are re-
spectacle well behaved active crowd and
commit no extravagancies.
Ayl had Lot lived here the venerable pa
triArch wouldn't have had to flee into the
mountains, nor would Mrs. Lot have met her
untoward fate. They could have remained
under their own vine and fig tree all the days
OF their natural life. Lot would have had
nothing to do as Recorded although kept
busy in Sodom-and ~ must have been de-
lighted with city where there isn't even
