TIE Radicals are casting about for a
Presidential candidate for the canvass of
1865. Wenotice thatthe name ofSpeak-
er Colfax has been mentioned in that
connection. Colfax for President would
make a heavy sensation. Where is
Fred Douglas? And what will that
Massachusett jewel, the impeaching
spoon-stealer say? Butler has a little
the advantage of most of his COMPETE
tors, in one respect. If there is the
shadow Of a chance to steal the nominal
ton, he'll get it.

THE Southern people are at peace with
the people Of every other State. They
are at peace With the world. They obey
the Constitution and the laws. The
United States laws are respected and en-
forced in in every Southern State. The
people OF that part of the Union are pay
ing taxes under the laws of the United
States. They invite Northern men to
come among them, and assist in devel-
oping the rich resources of their lands
and and their mines. Their business re-
lations with the Northern States are
pleasant and friendly. They are strug-
Cling to repair their shattered condition,
and to raise food for themselves and cot
ton for all who demand it. Upon this
people, who form q part of the Union,
Thaddeus Stevens and his followers are
making war and in making war upon
them, the revolutionists are trampling
upon the Constitution. Is it possible
that the Union and Republican govern
merit can be sustained and perpetuated
in the hands of such men: Let the peo-
pie earnestly and soberly reflect upon
the matter.

FROM MExIco.--The evacuation Of Mexico by
the French is a fixed fact. The settlement at
Cordova is among the things of the past. The
departure of Gen. Price, which has been duly
chronicled, will be followed 10y almost all who
associated with him at Cordova.
Judge Perkins has gone to Paris, France. Gov
ernor Harris left two weeks since for Havana.
Gen Shelby still remains in Cordova, and prob
ably will remain for several months to come.
The condition of the country is worse than has
ever been known for twenty years. The main
thoroughfare between the city OF Mexico and
Vera Cruz is interrupted about every fifteen miles,
and everything the unlucky passengers possess is
taken with quiet shrug Of the shoulders and a
polite declaration that mo le impor:a," which
means that it makes matter to me.
Governor Z. G. Reynolds, of Missouri, will re-
main in the City Of Mexico, and see the issue of
affairs there. General T. G. Hindman will leave
in two weeks for the United States, where ii is
his intention to practice law in Memphis ner
chandise in New York.
With the evacuation of Mexico by the French,
the rest of the foreigners think it best to leave
the country; and those of other natonaltes are
leaving as fast as steamers will bear them from
Vera Cruz

FRIENDS WHO ARE TOO LATE.-Since the
close of the war several Northern newspapers
have spoken out very boldly for the rights of the
Southern white man. but unfortunately they are
rather too late with their friendship. If they had
helped US during the their friendship might
have been of some advantage to US; but, as it is.
they really do more harm than good, for their
feeble attacks on the Radical party only have
the effect of uniting that party closely and
bitterly against US. Before the war there were
many Northern men and papers who declared
that they would fight for the South in case of
collision between the two sections, but when
occurred they took the field against US and have
been our btterest enemies since. So it would
be again. This train of thought is suggested
by declaration of the Springfield Qllinois) Sem
tinel, which says:
Had we known what we know now. Doubt
less thousands of other Democrats feel. the I'm
ion armies would have been smaller and the
Confederate larger"
We repeat that such friends are rather too
late-they can do no good now-we must make
the best terms with the conquerors.

F, they will be required to pay oue-tenth of
the principal and interest, and all costs to date,
