The Richmond Dispatch thinks 1t "mar-
veIlous that Mr.. johnson should allow such
men as Bolts, Brownlow Forney, Greeley,
Butler, Wendell Phillips, and Jack Hamilton
to travel over the country and make speeches
deuouncing him and his policy, or to publish
newspapers filed with bitter denunciations of
his policy, his character, and his intentions.
Where is the armyP Where is the speaking
bayonetp"
That such demand for q usurpation is
allowed to appear is the best evidence that
there are very few OF the speaking bayo-
nets" in the Southern States.

CoTroN.-We are glad to see that the Con-
gressional Committee to investigate the cot
ton sales are hard at work, and thorough
overhauling of all the accounts is going
on. Since the discovery of the heavy
fraud in New York last week the authorities
are naturally suspicious. At any rate, it Is
well to have the affair audited.

'RUMP ."-The New York
World was the first to originate the brilliant
idea OF the present Congress being 'Rump
Congress" Its satellites took up the cry,
and so have its opponents. The Herald
to-day returns the complimentary title. 1t
says:-
"THE RUMP CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. The
last resort of the rump city goyer1menG to
hold ON TO the spoils is to attempt to elect their
candidate for Governor upon the supposed
fusion of the conservative Republicans and
Democratic. In this they will hnd themselves
ali backing out so that Hoffman will only have
the rump of old Taumany to carry him out OF
the city which it may do with thlrty or forty
Thousand majority. But this will be finally buried
against him in other parts of the State"

General sheridan on National Affairs.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
who has had an interview with General Sheri-
dan, reports that the latter expressed himself as
tollows:-
He said there was an undoubted change for
the worse in the attitude ofthe South within the
last six months, and bad symptoms appeared to
be increasing. 1t now looked as If these intatu-
ated people we're about once more to precipi-
tate their own misfortune. Nothing could have
been more considerate than the disposition of
the nation towards its defeated foes, even in the
heat OF passion and flush of victory, and had the
Rebels only manifested temper correspond
ingly reasonable, as, indeed, was very natural
to be expected after such chastsement, there
could have been no further difficulty. The
South evidently had no statesmen, else so plain
problem would not continue to be so bungled.
For it should be clear that no GLASS; once set
free, can long remain dsfranchsed; and
as they ought to have forestalled their foes in
giving freedom to that class in war, so after.
wards common sense ought to have prompted at
least the later prudence of making allies in
peace of those with whom they are bound
henceforth 10 live. Instead, however, it ap-
peared certain the Rebels had learned nothing
from experience, and would, in fact, drive their
only chance into unfriendly hands. The safety
OF the public peace and of the private rights of
Union men in the South still require the media
ton of a sufficient military force and if called
upon to give his testimony, it should be- the
United States troops ought not yet to be re-
moved from the South"

A Change of Costumes in ENGLAND.
The PaA MaN Gazette for June 2s says:-

''Court suits were dispensed with for members
OF the House of Commons at the Speakers din.
ner last night for the first time. And Mr.. Bright,
in plain black suit, made his first appearance
at the Speakers dinnertable, as did Mr.. j. 5.
Mill, MIR. j. B. Smith, and others, like the
American minister, also present, who did not
take kindly TO the costume OF the worst period
of English taste. This instance of the Speakers
courage may inspire the Lord Chamberlain to
propose some reasonable amendments of Co.'S
tune for the consideration of the Queen. As
the garments of George the Seconds time have
been changed in the army and navy, and other
services, civilians should be permitted to eX-
change trills bag-wigs, swords, sand knee
breeches for p costume more consistent with
the fashions OF the time.n
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-07-14

unison with the reverend gentleman, who so
thoroughly loathee the idea of ministers mixing
IN politics, and yet in the same article proclaims
himself lifelong Democrat of the Calhoun and
Breckinridge school, and in full sympathy with
the stern statesman of Fortress Monroe.
Then again, In giving what he calls state
ment of a conversation had with me in presence
of his friend, ne says, "He had no knowledge OF
the publication in reference to this matter in
the Sunday Merc,uy.n Will the public believe
this TO be so? Who but the friend of Mr. Cham
bers could have furnished the misrepresenta-
tions published in that paper? Is 1T at all pro-
bable that they we're not submitted to his in
specton before they we're given to the public?
Doubtful
As it respects the pay, have to repeat just
what said when read the report of his SER
mon, and what said to Mr.. Chambers in pre-
sence of witnesses in his conversation with me,
that Ihadno recollection of having received any
thing. Six days of the week were occupied with
business cares, in which l was constantly re-
ceiving and disbursing such sums of money as
rendered it impossible to keep the history of so
meagre an amount alive in my memory for two
years. Mr.. Chambers CLAIMS TO have gwen me
twenty dollars, but if his memory is no better in
this case than in his other statement OF facts"
/ am still at a loss to know what has become of
the other ten dollars over which he grieves so
much, as l almost fear to accept his statement
after the errors in his short article OF last Satur
day, without the presence of a friend as q
S0ltneSS"
With his alluson to Greeley, Garrison,
Beecher, and Banks have nothing TO do; they
will probably survive it. And as to his political
creed and status, both have long been under
stood by the pubIc and if, as the result, he
complains of the absence of that kindly feeling
and sympathy that once greeted him every
where, he must find the cause of it in that worst
form of Democracy" an 'uncompromising
States rights constitutional Union man."
JAMES NELL.
Having allowed the use of our columns to
Mr.. Chambers, we have thus extended the same
courtesy to Mr.. Neill, and with this article the
controversy is closed. Our readers will draw
their own conclusions now that they have heard

Political.

The events IN political circles are attaining,
or rather have at. lined, an important attitude.
The position OF the President to the Union
Party and the position of all parties to the
President; the relations and transactions Of
the Cabinet of the Executive; and the various
movements Of political parties 60 to make up
this interest
The most important event is the crisis N Mr..
johnson Cabinet. PostmasterGeperal Ben
nison resigned his Office on Thursday last.
In his note Of resignation he says he disap-
proves of the action Of the President in regard
TO the proposed constitutional amendment aud
Is opposed to the Philadelphia Convention.
he adds that he has faith in the Union Repub.'
llcan party, and looks to il to insure the neace
and happiness of the country. Mr.. Dennison
was chairman Of the Baltimore Convention
which nominated Lincoln and johnson. The
Attorney General, Mr.. Speed, also resigned
his position on Saturday, for reasons similar 70
those above expressed. Mr.. Harlan. Secre,arv
of the Interior, is expected to send in his 70.
signation in few days, as is also Mr. Stanton
Secretary of War. This leaves but two men,
bers to remain, Secretaries Seward and Wells
who are believed to be more in haru,onv
with the President There are also reports
that all the members will resign, 30 that the

the two members last-named would be reap.
pointed. This, however, is rumor, and is Civ
en- for what it is worth. A. W. Randall. As
sistant Postmaster-General, has been appoint
ed to Mr.. Dennison's position. Such men as
VIM. b. Reed, of Pa, and Gov. Sharkev. of
Miss. are mentioned in connection with Cabi.
net offices. "-'" "00
Another event looked upon with interest is
the so-called National Union Convention which
is to assemble at Philadelphia on the 18th Of
next month. To great degree. the interest
manifested in this scheme is owing to the fact
that 1t is indorsed by the President and his
immediate friends who claim to belong to the
onlon Party, as we'll as nearly every Democrat
including most of those who are regarded as tbe
oitterest opponents of the Union party. while
IL Is opposed by the vast majority of the Union
men VINO preserved the Union from destruc-
tlon. We suppose the call for the convention
mas been generally read. 1t is STYLED call for
a New Party. 1t seems to have been startad
oy those opposed to the Radical Rennbl;oons
out Is looked upon as an effort to build nm the
democratic party Is it probable that the
Democrats who have endorsed this call ,ra
"iillnS to give up their old name-tbe name
nish over ALTO suit few individuals who
are not satisfied with the great Union party ,
'r, IN other words, is the Democratic partv
wiling to give up its organization and follow
me me- lead OF few disappointed Republicans?
" Ill not the lesser body be absorbed bv the
greater. by the call, those who insist unon
guarantees for the return of the Sontborr
states are excluded from the Convention. while
he bltterest COpperheads of the North sucb
men as Fallandigham, Fernando Wood. and
Jarrett DAVIS are its most ardent supporters
Are these men, who were avowed sympatbizers
u the rebellion, to be regarded as more sincere |
Union men than those who subdued the rabol |
Ion Are they wiser, more honest or trust
worthy than the eminent men who risked their
ives for the perpetuation of our national nnitv2
Admitting the Radicals are wrong, will the
Ountry be safer in the hands of radical Dis
nlon!sts than 1t has been in the control of rad.
cal UnlonistS? Vallandigham is more radical
nd has proved himself greater enemy TO
he Union, than Thad. Stevens Is be safor
ow than formerly?
though we, cannot see that any good will
eSuIt from this movement, we shall be pre-
AIRED to record it should any be accomplished
We see that call has been made for a State
to convene at Dover on the 26tb.
elect delegates to this Convention, but there
no names appended to said call. A johnson
'lub was also formed at Dover on Saturday
lst' as may be seen by reference to our locals.

The War in AuStrio

Inc Austrian dispatches which claimed a ro
, pulse Of the Prussian armies and their with
drawal to Silesia and Saxony, were soon con
t1adlcted by stirring events. On the 29th ot
June, the PIusSians stormed the town of GIFTS
chin, and compelled the Austrans to fall back
to Josephstadt and kOenigratz. This victory
secured the junction of the two prussian ar
miles, against which Benedek concentrated the
whole of the Austrian and the Saxon forces.
Together the cOntending forces numbered up-
ward OF 100000 men, A battle, exceeding in
It's losses and importance any that has vet tax.
en- place, was fought between the Austrians
and Prussians, at Sudowa, in Bohemia. the Sd
OF July. No details of this conflict have been
received, but enough is known to make il nla;n
that hual and decisive disaster has befalen
the Austrlans, and crowning victory gained
by the armies of Prussia. That l4,O00 Ans.
trans have been taken prisoners is the brief
epltome of all that we know of the fight; but il
is ample hint that the army of the Kaiser.

tanned an unexpected and crushing blow.
Austria, after this crushing defeat agreed to
cede Venetia to the Emperor of France, asking
his mediation. Napoleon at once communica-
ted with the belligerents, and proposed an ar
mlstlce. The replies of Italy and Prussia to
this proposition have not yet been received
