Mr.. MINISTER ADAMs,-At the banquet given
at St.. James Hall to William Lloyd Garrison,
a letter was read from Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, the tone of which, we are told, was
"rather qualified and reserved" The course
of Mr.. Adams is not such as we would ex-
pect from the son of John Quincy Adams.
His sympathy seems hardly to be in unison
with that of the great North and as his son is
an advocate of President Johnsons policy, it
is not unlikely that the love of office has
transformed our Minister in England into one
of those time-servers among whom Mr.. Mot
ley refused to be ranked. Considering the
record of his father and grandfather, we had
expected better things.

The Ceremonies at Rome.

JUDGING from the magnifcence of the ceremo-
MES at Rome, and the enthusiasm thereat
manifested by all the inferior prelates upon
the appearance of the Holy Father, we should
think that the prophecy of Lord Macaulay in
regard to the Catholic Church was about to be
realized; ;-"she was great and respected before
the Saxon had set foot inN nNBritain, before the
Frank had crossed the Rh3 3pe, while GreCian

publican principles are the principles Of JUS

not what great questions affecting public
liberty and constitutional government may yet

builders the country have already paid In i've mil

the War.

the war
No KIND of literature has been so abundant for
the past two years as that relating to the war.
IL already numbers several hundred volumes,
and is destined doubtless to large increase.
The most of this, as is natural, is really but
the material out of which the future historian
will get his facts for the real history of these
times. Mr.. Greeley's history is about the only
one, as yet written, that pretends to deal with
the philosophy OF the great struggle, and of
course, his view is from the Northern stand
point. We must necessarily in time have a
similar effort from the Southern side of the
house. Indeed, we learn that such a work is
now in progress of preparation, and approach
ing completion, by Alexander H. Stephens,
Vice. President of the late so-called Southern
Confederaoy. The high reputation of Mr.
Stephens as man of candor, and his philoso-
phic cast of mind, must render such work
from his pen one of great interest and value
Without doubt, he will put the South in the
most favorable light which the facts in the
case will warrant but with Mr.. Stephens
already recorded views of the struggle, as
given in his celebrated Cornerstone" speech
we shall look for very different work from
that which would be written by the Davis
school of Southern men.

How the Nomination is Received.


THE nomination of Judge Williams is received
with enthusiasm throughout the entire State,
and it is evident that he will receive the full
party vote. He has every qualification of
character and ability for the position for which
he has been nominated. Every elector, in
voting for him, can feel that he is casting his
ballot for a man every way worthy of a seat
on the Supreme bench. Hale in body, vigorous
N mind, experienced in the law, and the re-
prasentative of liberal and progressive princi-
plas, Judge Williams will add lustre to the
bnoh. His opponent is too old and feeble a

Speech of Senator Wilson, at Orange
Court House.

RICHMOND, VA, April Ex-senator Wilson
spoke at Orange Court House yesterday.
He recounted the events which led to the
war, and said, after its close, the North had
no ill feeling for the South. The South was
submissive, and had the measures now pend
ing been adopted directly at its close, the
South would have said the government was
just and liberal, but when Mr. johnson as
sumed power, he adopted different policy,
which had brought on all this dissatisfac-
ton. The late President LINCOLN had pre-
pared eight conditions for the pardon of Re-
bells, all of which met his (AIr. Wilsons)
approval Mr.. johnson prepared fourteen,
which was six too many. He (Mr. Wilson)
had never favored the 500, 900 clause, for he
wanted the South, except few prominent
Rebels, to be at liberty to go to work. The
South had complained Of Congress violating
the Constitution, and yetupheld Mr.Johnson
in violating the Constitution in restoring
the States.
The speaker was opposed to black mans
party or a white mans party. Let all who
favor human bondage, go together, and all
who favor freedom and progress, go togeth-
er. If any Rebels had cast aside their illu-
sions, let them come up and join the Repub-
lican party.
Major j. H. Lee, State Senator from Or
ange county, replied to Mr.. Wilson. He
charged the introduction of slavery upon
the North, and said Lincoln did not at first
intend to liberate the slaves; and that the
Southern people were the black mans best
friends.
Mr.. Wilson replied that in year the North
would give the negroes suffrage. He also
said contiscation might follow if the Recon-
struction bill was not accepted.

Returning Reason.

The ex-rebel General Longstreet writes a
long and sensible letter to the New Orleans
Times, in which he takes the ground that
the end Of the war should forever bury the
political issues of the war; that the chief
obstacle to reconstruction probably is the
opinion that the Southern people can not do
wrong, and that the Northern people can
not do right; and that the duty of the South
resolves itself into two simple propositions,
namely: either seek protection under some
foreign government, or else accept the situa-
zion as it is and return to its old allegiance
to the General Government under the pro-
cess laid down by Congress. General Long
street adds that he is one of the particularly
disfranchised, as he has been informed by
the very highest authority that lie will be
one of the very last to receive amnesty; and
he regards this as only one of the results that
belong to the hazards of revolution, and has
no better cause of complaint than those who
have lost their slaves. Such counsel as this
can not fail to have weight with the masses
of the Southern people.-N J. Gazette.

A promising Field of Labor

A paper is being drawn up and signed by
a number of Virginia Republicans. inviting
Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher, Mr..
Bryant, and others to come to that State and
address the people on politics. We hope the
invitation will be accepted, and that other
prominent Republicans will follow the ex-
ample of Senator Wilson. Now is the time,
II ever, to rid the Southern people of their
erroneous ideas as to the objects of the Re-
publican party, which have resulted from
constant misrepresentation on the part of
Southern leaders and newspapers. For this
purpose the speakers should address them
selves not only to the colored people, but to
as many of the whites of the laboring class
as can be reached. Congress having finished
its work by proposing plan of reconstruc-
tion, all who are interested in advancing the
cause of political progress in the South
should at once put their shoulders to the
Wheel Mr.. Greeley and Mr.. Beecher, on
account of their reputation for honesty of
purpose and zeal, tempered with discretion,
would command the attention and respect
OF an audience anywhere in the South.
Members of the last and present Congress
might also engage in the work, and he sure
of hearing. There never has been such
an opportunity for moulding public senti-
ment in the South and dispelling prejudice
there, and it will be not only foolish but
criminal to neglect it. Much of the future
progress of that section and of the country
will depend on the influences under which
the proposed new State Governments are
organized, and no labor should he spared to
have the management of the whole work of
reconstruction entrusted to proper hands,

The Eastern Shore Railroad.
From the Crumpton Gazette.1


Since the organization of the Kent County
Railroad Company, considerable debate has
been had as to where the northern terminus
OF said road shall be. Middletown was final
ly settled upon as the most advisable and
profitable. This dec sion OF the Kent county
people did not suit the cupidity of some Del
aware Intermediates, who are lin imagina-
hon) building the Kent Road, not for the
people OF Kent, but for their own especial
benefit, out ofthe money of the Kent county
people. This clique advocate Townsend as
the most convenient point for the Kent Road
TO stop, alleging that by so doing the Della
ware Railroad would build the Delaware end
OF the line. Failing to accomplish their OBJ
Ject by fair means, they have resorted to
stratagem and force to compel the Kent Co.
people to accept Townsend as the terminus
for their road, and induced the Delaware
Legislature at its last session to pass a law
forbidding the building of any branches from
any point on the Delaware Railroad north
OF Townsend. The result of that move can
De easily perceived. If the Kent people run
their road to the Delaware Road, they will

Intervention In nIexicn.

Gentlemen who are known to be in the
confidence of the Secretary of State, and
who have just returned from Washington,
say that it is hardly worth while making an
ado about the acquisition of the Russian
American Possessions, as, should certain ne
gotiations which were recently initiated with
President ,Juarez prove a success, the annex
alton of the whole of Mexico will be an
taH acconlplice before President johnson S
term of office expires. The incredulous
laugh and shake their heads at this, and say
if there were any such enterprise on foot it
would have been heard of before but these
are reminded that nothing was known of the
negotiations for the Russian territory until
they were actually submitted to the Senate
for ratification. Senator Johnsons resolu-
tion in Executive session to-day would seem
to indicate that there might be some fire
under all this smoke-M Y Cor. Phiid.
