Post Master General DennisOn and
Attorney General Speed have re-
signed their places in the Cabinet. Mr..
Randall has been nominated by the
President as the successor of Mr.. Den
nison. In,4is letter tending his resig-
nation Mr. Dennison says:
"In thus Withdrawing from your
Cabinet, it is proper to say that do
so cheerfnlly { y because Of the differ
ences of opinion between us in regard
TO the proposed amendment to the
Constitution, which / approve, and the
meeting Of the Philadelphia Conven-
ton to which am opposed" He
adds an expression of his confidence
in the patriotism of the Union Repub-
lican party" and his conviction that
upon its permanent control of tie Cor
eminent depends in large measure the
peace and happiness Of the country"
As Mr.. ID. appears to be in a very
happy frame of mind on retiring, we
suppose the President and the country
will sustain the bereavement with equa-
nimity. Judging from the way postal
affairs have been managed in the
South, more worthless, and useless
official than Dennison can scarcely
found. .I. lr-aru

Hon. JOHN WATTs-Our readers
will notice the announcement of Judge
Watts as a candidate for reelection to
the office Of Circuit Judge, which he
now holds.
No man in the State has held Office
so long, no man as an officer, has been
50 generally sustained by the people,
as Judge Watts. When a young man,
over thirty years ago, and soon after
he had cOmmenced the practice Of his
profession, he was elected District
Attorney over tho ablost and most
popular lawyers in the District In
1887, he was a candidate for re-elec-
ton. John j. McRae, afterwards
Governor member of Congress and
L, $. Senator, one of the ablest and
most deservedly popular men in the
State, was his opponent Gen
Watts was elected. He remained Dis
trict Attorney until 1S45. He was
then candidate for Circuit Judge
Judge Mounger and Judge Dawson
were his opponents. Dawson was elect
ed. The next election, in 1849, Gen.
Watts was. again a candidate and was
elected. He has held the office from
that time to the present The district
has been changed several times, but
the result has been the same-Judge
Watts triumphant election. The
Judge though now somewhat advanced
in years, is as faithful, diligent, and
competent to attend to the various
duties of his Office as at any period in
his life, and will, we presume, be elect
ed without opposition.

The Picayune in concluding an arti-
Gle on the effort making by the Radi-
Gals of Louisiana to convoke the de-
funct Convention of 1854, for the pur-
pose Of overthrowing the State Gov
ernmcnt and DISTINGUISHING Southern
voters, says:
1t would be wiser to leave these
conspirators to the disposition of
the Federal executive, than to pursue
them under the laws and authority of
the State Having obeyed and CON
formed to all the laws of the Govern
ment and the proclamations Of the
President, the people Of this State
have a just claim to the protection
and aid of the Federal Government
against all conspirators, traitors and
distWbers of the peace and revolution
lists. These people therefore ought to
be duly warned that any attempt to
carry into practical effect their scheme
of unparalleled audacity, folly and
lawlessness, will bring them under the
criminal jurisdiction Of the United
States, and deliver them into the custo-
dy of that Government.

From the Mississippian, July l2.


Our criticism on the disgraceful po-
litical course of the Clarion for some
time after the surrender, coupled
with our reprimand for his bearing
temptible and cowardly reply from the
editor of that journal If. the editor
had felt himself aggrieved, which we
have reason to believe he did, from the
bitter whining exhibited in his notice
of the Mlssissippian on yesterday, he
might have saved the public some of
that disgust which he processes to
dread, by seeking some other channel
than the columns of his journal to
vent his spleen. The systematic eff
fort on the part of the Clarion concern
to undermine has been very evident to
the public, and their ridiculous favor
has well nigh run them mad
In conclusion we have to say that if
it is the intention of the editor of the
Clarion to declare that we have made
any statements in regard to the con-
troversy between US that is inconsist-
ent with the facts, he states what he
knows to be deliberate falsehood.
We do not know which one of the
numerous editors, inside and outside
of the Clarion Office, Is responsible for
the vulgar editorial concerning us,
which appeared in the Clarion of yes,
terday, but we particularly desire the
writer of the article in question, to ap-
propriate, for "home consumption"
all that we have said Of him in an item
which appears IN to-day's issue. >
