American Traitors In England.

An American in London gives the
following account of the ex- Confede-
rates in that city:
John c. Breckenridge is frequently
seen at the Langham Hotel, wofully
changed in appearance, if not in opin-
ions. A gentleman who conversed
with him a few days ago says that
Breckenridge did not hesitate to de-
clare against the good taste of the de
feated rebel leaders claiming any
rights under the Constitution which
they had repudiated and the Govern
ment which they had vainly fought to
destroy, and that, whatever others
might do, he proposed to submit to
fate. Judah Z. benjamin is a prach-
toner at the London bar, and is the
counsel OF the celebrated c H. Prio-
lean OF Liverpool, the financial head
and front Of the Confederate cause
during the rebellion, and now heavily
involved in the overthrow OF Fraser,
Trenholm 4 Co. He is also said to be
the American editor of the London
Telegraph, and the writer of the arti.
Giles eulogistic of Jefferson Davis and
the Lost Cause.
The well known George n. San
ders is also sojourning in London, and
has just passed through the Courts o.
Bankruptcy for certain individual OBJ
legations. Lewis T. Wigfall of Texas
also here, is engaged in the precious
business of collecting the lists of tn,
victims who invested in the celebra
ted cotton loans of the Confederate
Government. His hope is that tn,
British Courts will decide that tn,
rebels enjoyed beliigerent rights il
the recent war, in which event tn,
holders of these bonds are told tina
they will be reimbursed by the con
quering Government Of the Union"

Gen. LOngStreet'S Letter.

The New Orleans Republican con-
tains the letter from Cien. Longstreet,
of which mention has beca made by
telegraph He say, in the beginning
that he was much pleased TO have the
opportunity to hear Senator Wilson,
and was agrceaLly surprised to meet
such fairness and fankncss in pol
tcian whom he had been taught to
believe uncompomisnsly opposed TO
the white people of the South. He
expresses the opinion that the war
settled all the questions that gave rise
to it, and he closes his letter rs fol-
lows;
"Like other Southern men, | natur-
ally sought alliance with the Demo
cratic party, merely because it was OPP
posed to the Republican party But
as far rs | can Judge, there is moth
ing tangible about it, except tue is
sues that were stakel upon the war
and there lost Finding nothing to
take hold Of except prejudice, which
cannot be worked into good for any
one, it is proper and right that l
should seek some stand point from
which good may be done
III apprecia the principles Of the
! Democratic party its prominent fea-
lures oppose the enfranchisement of
the colored man, and deny the right
to legislate upon the subject of suf-
frage, except by the States individu-
ally. These two features have ten
dency to exclude Southern men from
that party; for the colored man is al
ready enfranchised here, and we can
not seek alliance with party that
would restrict his rights. The exclu-
sive right of the States to legislate
upon suffrage will make the enfran-
chlsement of the blacks, whether for
better or for worse, fixture upon us.
1t appears, therefore, that those who
cry lOudest against this new order of
things as public calamity are those
whose principles would fix it upon us
without a remedy. Hence it becomes
MS to insist that suffrage should be ex-
tended in all of the States, and fully
tested The people of the North
should adopt what they have forced
upon us; and if it be proved to be a
mistake, they should remove it by the
remedy under republican principles
of uniform laws Of suffrage.
If every man in the country will
meet the crisis with a proper appre-
citation of our condition, and come
fairly up to his responsibilities, on to-
morrow the sun will smile upon q
happy people, our fields will again be
= gin to yield their increase, our rail.
roads and rivers will TEEN with album
dant commerce, our towns and cities
will resound with the tumult of trade
and we shall be inygorated by the
blessings of Almighty God.
