THE South is now arrais ned before the
Congressional tribunal to answer in the case
OF Radicalism cs the South, upon the charge
of present disloyalty to the Government.
"Taking it for granted that the prisoner
at the bar pleads not guilty. the court has
called the witnesses for the prosecution and
they depose in substance as follows:

THE "CIGAR-sHIP" LAUNCHED.

Mr. Winans, cigar-ship has just been
launched in England. 1t is announced that
she is intended for private yacht, to be at
tached to the Imperial Yacht Club of St.
Petersburg. She is christened the Rose
Williams" In a few weeks she will be ready
for sea, and some important and interesting
experiments will he made, to test her speed
and sea going capabilities.
Some peculiarities of her construction are
thus described in the London Times 6 Be
meath the vessel, in place of a keel, is Il broad
band of the best Lowmoor iron, an inch thick,
by three feet wide. This is meant to protect
her in case of taking the ground, as from her
peculiar form it would be easy to beach her
on any emergency. Inside this is an iron
floor covered with wood, which runs from end
to end of the vessel, and forms, in fact, her
passenger deck This floor amidships is on
ly about six feet from the lower cylinder, so
that overhead there is n tolerably roony cab
in, much resembling in shape small railway
tunnel. The upper and only outer deck is
one hundred and thirty feet long by ten and
a half feet broad, and is formed by building
for that length what we may call a square,
fat-topped wooden cover ON the upper side
Of the cylinder. For all the world she seem
ed like the back of whale that had been
decked and tunneled, rather than any ship
meant to navigate the an Washington

Golden AND PAIMERSTON.-Rev. DIR.
Waddington, of London, in Il letter to the
COngIegatiOaolist, relates the following anec-
dote of Golden, showing the plainness with
which he talked when Palmerston asked him
to accept office:
On meeting Lord Palmerston, Mr.. Golden
was told that place was reserved for him
in the Ministry, and the veteran statesman
expressed his earnest desire that the great
free trader would accept the position offered
to him, and that all would act harmoniousy.
Mr.. Golden replied in his frank manner that
it was impossible for him to unite with the
Government under the leadership of Palmer
ston. 'I may be wrong, my lord" he said
'but before ! went to America, | said you
We're the greatest impostor in Europe, and
that you lost millions Of money, and were
dear at fraction of the price. l may have
been mistaken in my estimate, but 1t will not
do to make the discovery Of such an error at
the moment of accepting office"
"Oh that is nothing replied the good
tempered Palmerston You have not hit
me harder than Gibson, and he has joined
US"
That may be- said Golden g but can
not think of taking the appointment" Al
ter little further conversation, the honest
free trader retired, expressing his admiration
of the good natured Premier, and promising
to join an evening party at Cambridge House,
but still intlexible in his purpose not to take
office.

1t is asserted in Northern papers that Pres
ident johnson has expressed his dlsapproba-
ton OF Senator Stewards reconstruction
scheme We ar glad to notice that no South
ern paper has yet endorsed it, and we hope
no responsible respectable Southern man
will do so. Henry S. Foote, formerly Of
Mississippi, California and Tennessee-a ske-
dadtlIer from the late Contederacy. and now
lettering about Washington city-has en-
dorsed Stewards plan, but that was because
Stewart is his son-in-law, and because he
knows that he (Foote) has forfeited and be-
trayed the confidence of Southern people.
The best course for all the true friends OF
the country, of peace and of justice, IS to
stand firmly by the Presidents reconstruc-
ton policy and give him ali the aid they
can. Let us be particular so to act as not
10 cmbarrass him.
President johnson has just vetoed another
iniauitous measure of the radicals the meas
ure known as the Civil Rights Bill, and he
shows a determination to guard the Consti-
tuition and adhere to the policy marked out
by himself for reconstruction. 1t would he
unfair and unmanly for southern men to de-
scTt him now and favor such schemes as
Stewards. BY all means let us give our in
fluence (as far as we are pernitteD to the
Presidents policy, and let us wait with pa
tience the result Charlotte Democrat.

CoNNEcTICUT.-There seems to be no pos
sible doubt that Gen. Hawley, the Union
candidate for Governor of Connecticut, has
been chosen by ii majority ranging some
where near 700 The vote of the State shows
some curious changes for instance, in New
Haven there is Democratic MIA jority of
nearly thousand more than usual. But the
feverish excitements of town life did not ex
tend to the rural districts, and we are
very happy to record the honorable and de
served success of a generous and brave sol
dier. the representative of the loyal men of
the State, instead of the semi-loyal exponent
of the party that did its utmost to thwart
and discourage the Government in its days
of adversity. The good people OF the Land
OF Steady Habits are not hasty in changes of
opinion-they move slowly but surely, and
in this instance they have rightly preferred
the path ofapproved and manifest loyalty to
the tortuous ways of the tide-waiters of IL
party that is loyal or disloyal, friend or foe,
as the shifting chances Of the hour may die
tate-Neac York Times.
