STILL ON rHE RAMPAGE-TnR BLooMER
AT THE TRKAsuRY.-Failing TO secure a po.
sition In the Post Office Department, Mrs
DR.. Walker turned up In the Internal Reye
nue. Bureau yesterday as an applicant for a
position there. Securing an interview with
Solicitor Smith, she represented her wants as
eloquently as she could and claimed an office
as a matter Of right. She did not manifest
the same violence as upon the occasion OF
her visit to Mr.. Creswell, but took new
tack and tried the effect Of tears, but without
much perceptible effect, for she LEFT without
her office, and under circumstances not all
encouraging to further attempts to secure a
desk In this bureau.
One day last week Mrs. Walker secured
an interview with Deputy Commissioner
Douglass, and represented that she had been
promised position In place Of the most
worthless clerk In the office, who was to be
ascertalned and discharged Mr.. Douglass
put the terms OF this application upon paper,
and sent the same to Mr.. Sherman, who con-
trolls the assignment Of clerks In the bureau
Mr.. Sherman returned the paper with an en-.
dorsement TO the effect that It would be .
useless waste Of time TO attempt to conform
to Mrs. Walkers request, as he knew OF
none that could be discharged for the cause
stated.

4 POINTED RETORT.

The French paper in New York, the
| Courricr dcS EtatS UltiS, whose editor
Yields q ready and trenchant pen, does
not suffer to pass unrcbuked the frequent
and bitter assaults of the New York
papers upon the alleged moral dePravity
and political despotism of France. Re
Gently the New York Times made the
return Of jeff Davis to this country the
text of a " trooly loil' outburst against
the South, and of supcrlative eulogy of
the magnanimity of the authorities of the
United States government, as contrasted
with the alleged political vindictiveness of
the Emperor Of France. In the course of
IFS dissertation the Times observed:
Jefferson Davis is henceforth free of
all public prosecution and private moles-
tation. The fact isespecially noteworthy,
as it happens just at the moment when
the revolutionary chiefs of Western Eu-
rope meaning France are encOuntering
new obstacles TO political rehabilitation,
and are subjected to fresh prosecutions of
almost every kind. This difference does
honor TO our people and to our institutions
to our people, in that it shows that their
sentiments are guided by the elevated
principle of Christianity rather than by
the vile and vindictive instincts of the
savage; TO our institutions, in that it shows
that they repose SO largely on the moral
foundations which uphold them, without
the aid Of the harsh penalties and intimi-
dstions which alone sustain the thrones of
the Old World"
The opening which the Times unguard-
edly left for the wide-awake Frenchman
to come in at, was promptly ayailed of
The C01Urjer thus replies TO the Times :
''Of such declamations, we say frankly
and firmly that they are purely and sim
ply calumnies on the French people and
their institutions. To say that the TevO-
mti0narv chiefs of Western Europe Tread
Franco encounter new obstacles and are
subjected to fresh prosecutions, at the
very moment when the largest amnesty
ever proclaimed cffaCes with one scratch (
Of the pen all political concentrations,
abuse of the right which certain writers !!
arrogate to themselves of trifling with the |
truth. As to the vile and vindictive in !
stincis of the savage, which are put by !
this writer in contrast with the sentiments |
of the American people and the elevated |
principle of Christianity which guide |
them, we can scarce believe that such ex-
prcssions, even from pen so thoughtless, |
could be applied to the French people |
Thank God we have not, as people, to |
take lessons of generosity from the Ameri- /
can people; and we limit ourselves at
present TO reminding The Times that the
manner inwhich, after five years paciica-
ton. the vanquishcd of the South are still |
treated, has no example in contemporary
history, except in the case of the subju-
cation of Poland.
That is terribly severe coming from the
of a government like that
Of France. |

The Atlanta Constitution learns from
the best authority, that the holders of the
Georgia State bonds, issued since the war,
express great anxiety and fear regarding
the measures before Congress affecting
Georgia reconstruction. Besides the regu-
lar State bonds, a large amount have been
issued, granting State aid to railroads, all
of which, they feel, win be seriously
and dangerously affected by Gov. Bul-
locks plan of Congressional interference.
Since the close of the war between three
and four millions of State bonds have
been issued, nearly all of which are in
the hands of capitalists, who certainly
have deep interest in seeing that no in
jury be done to Georgia.

Ex-PREsIDENT JOHNSON

World writes from Washington under
date of Dec. "A:
"From Tennessee recent advices have
been received here to the effect that An
drew johnson is in nowise dismayed OF
cast down by the late election. He issaid,
on the contrary, to be in the most buOyant
and rosy frame of mind-McGregor on his
native heath. The result of the election
has caused a very decided manifestation of
popular good will for the cx-President,
and a equal exhibition of displeasure for
the leaders by whose jealousy and ambi-
ton his defeat was secured That he will
come up again is not doubted, or that he
viii steadily increase his hold on the peo-
pie. If Brownlow should die, it is said
the present Legislature would elect An

The Chicago Tribune, the ablast and
most widely circulated Radical Journal in
the Northwest, says that Senator brakes
bill to virtually abolish the Supreme
Court, ought to be entitled "a bill to
abolish the constitution, and aids:
'The result would be that DO law Of
Congress could be annulled for unconsti-
tutiOnality, even though it might abolish
the State Governments, or provide for the
establishment of a hereditary monarchy.
We should have no constitution Of the
United States, and each State Legislature
might, by q similar act of its own, abOl-
ish its constitution. 1t is not too much
to say that the member of either house
who is intellectually capable Of intrOduc-
ing such a bill deserves expulsion on the
ground of mental imbecility. He is non
cOHlpOS months.
The Albany Journal, the organ Of the
Radical party at the capital Of New
York, also dcnounces the proposed law as
"a scheme which would be fatal to the
liberties of the people" This bill, ii says
'might be appropriately denominated IAN
act to abrogate the constitution For if
Congress is to be the interpreter Of the in
strument, we would some day find that a
reckless body would construe it to the de
struction of popular rights.
