JOHNSON AND SHERMAN,

The following from the Richmond
Dispatch expresses so exactly our own
views, that we adopt it in lieu of the
editorial which we had Intended to
unite on the same subject!-It has been
announced by telegraph that General
Sherman has expressed decided dis
satisfaction at his nomination by the
President to the honor of Brevet Gene
raj, and also at his appointment to COM
mand the new district of the Atlantic,
with headquarters at Washington-in-
deed, declaring his determination to
resign rather than accept his command.
If this be true, then the President
has committed very great blunder.-
To make such move without being
first assured that it would be successful,
is objectionable in President. No
act in his Presidential history could in
fi:ct upon him a 1.-THE of the damage
this will, in that event, do him.
The movement of bringing forward
General Sherman was perhaps the best
he could make, supposing the General
was favorable. 1t would give the Pres
ident right arm, which he much need
ed, and keep his enemies at bay. A
healthy influence would have been in
fused into Congress, ard that reckless
body would have put on more grave
and decorous demeanor. All would see
that there was serious work on hand.
In proportion to the Importance OF
the movement must be.the ignominy of
it's failure. 1t seems almost Incredible
that Mr.. johnson should have made SO
great mistake as to venture upon it
without a proper understanding before
hand We trust now that the rumors
on the subject may not be sustained
If they are true, however, Mr.. johnson
is pretty well done for. The Radicals
will no longer trouble themselves about
him, and the country will place little or
no reliance in him.
To move too late is bad; but to move
then in wrong manner is almost ire
trievably disastrous.

FOREIGN NEWS.

Earl Derby, the British Premier, has
been very ill, but is now recovering.
1t is thought that Lord Stanley will
soon succeed Earl Derby at the head of
the Ministry. The semi-official Paris
papers deny the reports current about
changes in the French Ministry, and of
alterations in the Constitution of the
Empire. The dinner to Admiral Far
ragut at Florence was grand affair,
the Italian Liberals making it a marked
demonstration of their good will to-
ward the U. S. Admiral Farragut. in
acknowledging toast to his honor,
spoke of his love for Italy and conf
dencc in her noble progress. u.
A revolution has broken out in Ja-
pan consequent upon the new ports to
foreign commerce. The young Mikado
had been seized by the insurgents, and
the old Tycoon had taken refuge un-

DEAR SIR Having been reliably IN

ted in Albemarlc, Nelson, and Orange,
to the effect that our house had suspend
cd or failed, and having no other means
of counteracting its effects, so ruinous
to our interest, than by public denial
through the columns Of yOur paper,
We have to request that you will in

entirely gratuitous and utterly unfoun-

better condition than at present, and as
we never engage in speculations of any

one as it is possible tor the commits

CONSTITUTION, DEAEATED IN ALABAMA

Through the registered negro vote
in Alabama, exceeded the registered
white vote 10, 800, the Constitution was
defeated by over 900 in that State the
conservatives acting upon the policy
of not voting, and this too, notwith-
standing the polls were kept open five
days instead OF two as required by the
convention. The reconstruction scheme
thus proves, Notwithstanding its many
changes to effect its diabolical purpose
to be q failure. Congress will probably
admit Alabama under it's Atricanized
constitution in spite of its defeat by the
registered voters. The Radicals must
have the votes of the Southern States
Africanised or they are doomed to to-
tai overthrow. Thev will scruple at
nothing to effect their purposes.
