FoRNEY-Maek, in his Washington

FoRNEY.-Maek, in his Washington
correspondence. says:
Speaking of Forney reminds me of a
question which it is worth while to ask
him, in view of some Of his recent para
graphic palaver about Alabama RECONSTRUCT
ton. He takes the ground that inasmuch
as the rebels have never publicly re-
nounced the doctrine of secession, or new
er expressed their sorrow for involving
the country in the late war, they cannot
be trusted with political power. Now.
the distinguished Colonel" once wrote a
letter which has since figured in di-
vorce case. He advises friend to get
another man drunk in order that he might
get from him an admission ''as a thing to
be proud of that he had illicit connec-
tons with Mrs. Forrest, to the end that
this admission might be nsel to secure
the divorce for Forrest Now the point
is this: Has Forney ever publicly re-
nouncedp the doctrine contained in that
letter? IF not, according to his own stand
ard Of right and repentance. he ought
not to be trusted, for he is still in favor OF
falsely wearing away any woman's charac-
ter. He says the southern people are still
rebels because they have not publicly re-
nounced secession, and am only giving
him dose of his own medicine. let
him, then. renounce that Forest letter, or
let his failure to do so be taken as an adj
mission that he still adheres to the style
of morality it teaches. What says the
loval "GoloDel ?"

How They ssusli II.

1t must strike every fair-mnded person,
of whatever political predictions, that
the radical revolutionists at Washington
are pushing the impeachment trial with u
haste that is positively indecent. In the
first place the charges we're preferred with
shocking precipitancy. And then, so lit
tie was the time allowed to the president s
counsel to prepare his answer to the arti
cles of impeachment, that it was only by
the most assiduous labor, both day and
night and on the Sabbath, denying to
themselves nee1ful rest. and neglecting all
other professional aud private business,
that they were able to accomplish their
task. And now, they are practically de-
MED any time at al in which to prepare
for trial, for If is resolved that the trial
shall proceed on Monday next.
There is not court in Chrlstcndom
that would not treat the most ordinary
malefactor, whose trial should involve only
inconsiderable public interests, with more
consideration 1t does not matter that
this impeachment trial is of the gravest
possible public consequence; that it dwarfs
all other trials the republic has ever
known that all civilization is beholding
it with the most profound solicitude,--it
is rushed forward with all the CELEBRITY that
might characterize any partisan measure
whose speedy passage should be regarded
as OF partisan advantage, and with the
same certainty.as to the result in the one
case as IN the. other. 1t is probably be-
cause the victim is to be dispatched at any
rate, that it is determined that he shall be
dispatched quickly. aaa t1.s s,isa
Can it be that tho authors of these
proceedings are not provoking
an overwhelming torrent of public dis
pleasure? i,.srsas ls,al.st -

what certain radicals are:
" He never logged, drove, marauded

Political Significance Of Admiral
Fsarrssgsaa's Movements.

From European Letter.
The political newsmongers at this side
are beginning to speculate on the subject
of our governments allowing Admiral
Farragut to spend SO much time in visit
ing the continental capitals, and getting
himself lionized. A letter from Florence
in the Corresponds nee General de Vienne
has the following remarks on the subject
admiral Farragut makes more noise
than was ever made by any admiral at the
head of a small division of FIVE vessels Of
war. But the eastern question may from
day to day assume a dangerous character
The United States propose to take part
in the future in European affairs, and they
are encouraged in this intention by Rus
STA, which promises them good harbor in
the Levant when she becomes mistress o.
of it. 1t has always been the desire OF
the great republic to have pied-a-tcrre,
Ga foot-hold) in Europe. There is, oppo-
site the island Of Rhodes, the roadstead of
MarmarizZa, which is vast in extent, per-
fectly sheltered from the winds, and with
an excellent bottom for anchorage. The
United States asked it from Turkey, prom
ising to build there large city under the
sovereignty Of the sultan, but Eng land op-
posed the concession. 1t is now affirmed
that Russia has contracted engagements
with the United States in regard 10 il.
