The Political Game.

Patience, and shuttle the cards, -
were the words of Durandante in the
cave of Montesinos. This would
make at the present time q good
motto for the South, if the cards were
in its hands. But, unfortunately,
they are not. The privilege of the
deal lies at this point of the game
with the radical party, and that party
seems inclined to avail itself of every
art which may help it to win the
stakes. Still, we say to the South,
be patient, and, above all, be cool.
Passion will only give your adversary
double advantage The gambler
who stocks his pack does not always
come off with flying colors. He is
sometimes detected, exposed, dis
graced, and he is then glad enough, if
he be permitted, to withdraw without
having his retreat fastened by boot.
The radical party may be served in a
similar way. Its cards have already
been overlooked, and it's trickery
made plain. 1t is very generally
known to be playing falsely both with
ourselves and the country at large.
The motives by which it claims to be
Influenced are manifestly little else
than surreptitious aces and kings. In
other words, Ito drop figure which,
if used in connection with politicians
less base, would be of questionable
taste, it has been discovered that
the devotion which that party pro-
fesses to the Union is the merest pre-
tence; that with the word Union upon
its lips, it means something as bad as
secession itself. So patent is the i'm
position that the honest men of the
party have fall left its ranks; the
brave Johnson has openly denounced
the cheat; and there are not wanting
many signs that the people of the
North are preparing to do so, like
wise, through the medium of the
ballot-box. Patience, therefore, we
repeat, ye pigeons" Of the South

long you may have the pleasure of

A RADICAL PAPER ON Mr. SEWARD.
A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette makes some grave
charges against Mr.. Seward, brought
out, as he says, by his recent con-
temptuous expressions in speaking of
Mr.. johnson. The writer relates a
conversation which took place at De-
mopolis, Alabama, in November last,
between one of the prominent poll
ticians of the South and a Union
officer who had gone South to pro-
cure plantation. The Southern
man stated that it had been decided
that the South could not elect a
Southern man as President, and to
make sure If success, they must Sc
lect a man Who could carry Pennsyl-
vania or New York, and that after ne
gotiation, they fixed upon William H.
Seward.
But the correspondent does not stop
here. He more than insinuates that
Mr.. Seward was in completely with
the rebels during the war; that he
gave pledges to the Southern Com
missioners that Sumter would be
evacuated; that he defeated the pos
sibility of relief to that fortress, and
finally sent word to the rebels in
Charleston, informing them that a
fleet had sailed to relieve Sumter;
upon which, the rebels opened fire on
the fort and reduced it.
The correspondent adds, that Mr.
Stewards recent course was in con-
formity with his original determine
ton to be the opposition and South
ern candidate for the Presidency in
1868, and deals in inuendoes as to
whom he might have met during his
recent visit to Havana, the rebel city
of refuge.

SEIZURE OF SUPPOSED CoNFEDE-

SEIZURE OF SUPPOSED CONFEDE-
RATE STEAMER.-We learn from the
Baltimore Sun that a libel of informa-
ton was filed in the United States
Court on Saturday, March IT, against
the iron steamer Coquette, lying in
that port, for violation Of the laws of
the United States in being used to
aid the insurrection, and therefore
forfeited; and also as the property of
the former Confederate Government,
and therefore by inheritance the pro-
perty of the United States. The
Coquette was built at Renfrew, Scot
land, and is said to have Been the
property of Trenholm & Co., Charles
ton, S. G. The property was seized
in the possession of Captain Daniel
Squires, who, it is stated, claims that
he purchased said steamer at Nassau,
in November, 1865. The steamer
claims to be under the flag of Great
Britain. The claimants have not yet
filed an answer to the information.
The ship now lies at Henderson, s
Wharf, Fell's Point. An interesting
case.

culture, and her staples-cotton, rice
and tobacco-have mainly supplied
the wants of mankind The great
change in the labor system of the
South suggests, and it is to be rea-
sona5ly expected will effect, change
in her industrial pursuits. There is
no reason now that the South should
not, at once, embark in manufactur-
ing. Our cotemporary of the Rich
mond Dispatch, in an article on the
manufacturing capacities of the
South, says that she has countless
rivers and iillimitable mineral trea-
sures, the means of conveyance to
other nations; cotton and wool are
among her great staples, and she can
use them to much greater advantage
than to export them abroad, since
the cost of transportation is so great,
and since she needs large portion &C
the manufactured goods for her own
consumption. 4sr
The Dispatch, after quoting letter
from Abbott Lawrence to W. G.
Rives, in 1910, urging the capitalists
of Virginia to invest their capital in
the power of the James River,
says that it is sound advice from one
of the wisest and most practical
minds of the country. It is further
more admitted, by Boston journal,
that the South can produce co+4on
cloth, and a better article, chea er
than either Old Or New F--ggland, be-

before the country, are said to have
been consulted, and have given ad-
vice upon the subject. Several lead
ing men were in conversation with
the President yesterday, and it is sur
missed that the new conservative ele-
ment was the theme of extended
remarks. The radicals fear the
strength of the opposition, and it is
knowledge of recent movements
which induced Stevens to say recent
ly that in three years the Govern
ment would be in the hands of the
rebels and their Northern allies.
Other extremists have asserted that,
at the opening of the next Congress,
the Democrats (by which is meant all
opposed to radicalism,) will be in the
majority in the House without the
admission of representatives from
the South.
Whilst there are many of the op-
ponents of the Administration who
claim that they will, without doubt,
carry the State of Connecticut,
(others being distrustful of their
power in that section, yet they ad-
nit that the issue is not yet fairly
defined, and the coming fall will
prove which party is to be in the
ascendant. In fact, almost every day
gives fresh evidences of tie great
concern felt by the Stevens | arty for
the permanency Of their organization.
The Secretary of War has IN indi-

can identify him? kilograms have
been despatched to portions of Mis-

know the prisoner, and when they
arrive, perhaps the present mystery
may be cleared up.
