BRECKENRIDGE ON THE POLITICAL
SITUATION. TIE MAGNANIMITY OF TIE
NORTH -"Burleigh, the New York
correspondent Of the Boston Journal,
communicates to that paper the following:
"a gentlemen Of wealth and position in
this city has just returned from Europe,
where he has been spending two years
with his family. He had repeated inter
views wi h leading rebels abroad, Mason,
Sl;dell, Breckenridge and others Mason
and his crew he represents as defiant, re-
belious and insoleut. But Breckenridge
was in an entirely different frame Of
mind. lie made no Coneealment Of his
opinions and feelings. He said the
South had attempted a revolution. They
had thrown everything they had into the
contest. That they were more than whip,
ped, they were subjugated and utterly
ruined. That by the law of nations and
by the laws ,of war, they had no rights.
They we've at the mercy of the conquer>
ors. He said the magnanimity of the
North was unparalleled Tho history of
the world would be searched in vain to
discover such clemencys on the part of
conquerors as Congress offered to the
South after involving the Government in
such terrible conflict, with so awful a
sacrifice of treasure and blood. He was
astounded at the blindness and madness
of the South in not accepting the hus
name and merciful provisions of the Con.
stitutional Amendment. He assigned as
reason for not coming home that he
was waiting to see what d isposal Was to
be made of Jefferson Davis, as he con-
sidered his own fate to be involved in
that of the chief of the late Confederacy."

construction acts by injunction. 1t is even
said that so determined is the President tc
carry out the measures, that even should the
injunctions issue from the Supreme Court he
would disregard them. The same Senator
anticipates that by the meeting of Congress

FROM CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, April so.
very deep feeling pervades the entire
community of this city, in reference 10 the
eight hour system of labor Many had their
misgiving OF the result. From tie deter
mined spirit manifested by the men who are
80 vitally interested in this subject, and the
cool and deliberate purpose OF the manufac
! turers, it seems almost impossible to avoid
trouble. All ofthe laboring people are not
by any means in favor of the system, and as
many as have courage will attempt to contin-
ne their work, but whether they will be all
lowed 10 pursue their work peaceably is a
question f,he men shall finally hold out
for the employers to sccede to their demand,
the result will be an enormous loss to the
city
The Chicago papers all have long articles
on this question to-day, and all of them
counsel moderation, and they have taken
great pains to explain the true meaning OF
the law, and to correct the construction put
upon it by many, that to violate the eigb,
hour law, or TO go contrary to it, is to violate
law Of the State. The careful manner in
which their articles are written, shows the
apprehensions of these editors.
Tomorrow, May lst, there will be great
demonstration in this city. Great prepsra
tions are makingto make decided impres
sion.
