dent Johnson's successor. The mere mooting
Of proposition TO carry partisanship to the
point Of personal conflict with the Executive
would not benefit the public credit anywhere.
But who can estimate the result, in a business
or financial sense, of a combination formed,
not simply to remove Mr.. Johnson, but to put
Mr.. Wade in his place Who can measure
the impression that will be produced at home
or abroad by the protracted discussion Of a
scheme designed to elevate to the Executive
chair man who has pledged himself to
demand amore equal distribution of property,
and the enrichment of the laborer by acts of
CoDgress1 -
These are inquiries which every man who
has anything to lose should try to answer
frankly and in time. At such period, in
the presence of possibilities so evidently
fraught with peril, none should be indifferent.
We hear that fears are expressed among the
merchants and moneyed men of this city, and
advices from Washington speak of letters
received there urging the avoidance of all
questions save that of reconstruction. Some
thing more than individual suggestion or re-
mOnstranoe is needed, however, to thwart the
plans Of mischief-makers. Congress needs to
be reminded of the fact that the country can
not safely endure an agitation that would
sacrifice the interests of trade, and shake the
balance of finance, at the bidding of a malig-
nant and insatiate partisanship.

man would be named for the place. Mr.. Camp
bell appointment did not satisfy the country,
even though he seemed TO be fastened round
the neck Of General Sherman; and when that
remarkable party was started the Mexican
mission was far less important than IL Is now
and now we have Otterbourg.
The State Department groans for man mt
to represent the country at very important
point, and Otterbourg is brought forth. de is
either the sum of the diplomatic ability OF the
nation, or our relations with the neighboring
republic have taken the shape of a straight
financial transaction, and Mexico is to be
bought up. On which foot do we stand Is
Marcus a great genius, or are our Mexican re-
lations on the old clothes basis2 There are
many reasons why Mexico might be Justly
treated as ''old clo'," and bought and sold,
and, may be, even washed; are there any
why Marcus should be regarded as great
man Only one fact is known Of his career
as Consul in Mexico. He was up to the ears
in the game of securing the recognition of the
empire by the United States. He has a friend
who has denied this; but the statement is true,
and it may be that Marcus does not let all his
friends into his little games. Does the new
Minister owe his appointment to his success in
the games played between Mr.. Seward and
the empire Is it reward If not, what is
it? Who can solve this diplomatic mystery
In the meantime, while the country waits for
the solution, wouldn't be we'll if Mr.. Seward
should cut short his oratorioal pilgrimage,
hurry to Washington, and rack his brain to
see if he cannot some way improve upon this
appointment

power. Nobody can say the country nay. Il
must do what It viii with its own, and who
ever therefore puts a joyful faith in the fact
that the mills OF God at the last grind exceed
ing small, must adjust his expectations TO the
fact that they also grind somewhat SLOWLY.

1t will be seen by the following letter,
published in New Orleans paper, that Gen
Longstreet lavors the acceptance of the Mil
itary bill of Congress:
New ORLEANS, March 10, 1867.
As | have never applied myself
to politics, cannot claim TO speak to the
wise statesmen of the country, who are de-
voting their energies TO the solution of the
problem which agitates the public mind.
can only speak the plain, honest convictions
of soldier.
1t can be hardly necessary at this late
day, TO enter into discussion of the mat.
ter that is usually brought up in arguing
upon the proposed plan for reconstruct
ing the government. Indeed ] think that
m my OF them are not pertinent TO the ques-
ton.
The striking feature, and the one that our
people should Keep in view, is, that we. are a
conquered people. Recognising this fact
fairly and squarey, there is but one course
for wise men to pursue. Accept the terms
that are offered us by the conquerorsl There
can he no discredt 10 a conquered people fol
accepting the conditions offered by theiI
conquerors. Nor is thai any occasion for O
feeling OF humiliation. We have made an
honest, and ! hope that ! may say, a credit
able fight, but we have lost. Let US come
forward then and accept the ends involved in
the struggle.
Our people earnestly desire that the Con
stitutional Government shall be re-establish-
ed anl the only means to accomplish thi:
is to comply with the requirements of the
recent Congressional legislation.
1t is said by some that Congress will moi
receive us even after we have complied with
their conditions. But can find no sufficient
reason for entertaining this proposition for q
moment. | cannot admit that the represen-
tative men of great nation could make
such pledge in bad faith. Admitting
however, tLat there is such a mental reserva
ton, can that be any excuse tor us in failing
to discharge our duty2 Let us accept tbs
terms ae we are in duty bound to do, and il
there is lack Of good faith, let it be upon
the part of Others.
| am. very respectfully, your most obdient
servant
JAMES LONGSTREET.
