Caste has trumphcd in the White
House again to-day, and those who hope
and pray for tie restoration Of slavery are
jublant tonight, for it has been demon
strated that a negro is not as we'll quail
fed for a Federal office in the State of
Georgia as a white man is. Senator Sum-
ner, ever on the alert to strike at the ex-
plrlng slave power when it attempts to
raise its head, was Of the opinion that the
best way to teach the people of Georgia
the error of theft ways in refusing TO perS
NIT coored men TO hold office, was TO have
intelligent and well qualified colored citi-
zens OF that State appointed to fill some
of the most responsible of the Federal Of
fees within its borders. Postmaster Gen
eral Creswcll coincded with the NIassa-
chusetts Senator, and at his suggestion
determined to recommend TO the Prcsi-
dent the appointment Of Mr. james VI.

Simms is a well educated gentleman, wor-

craIive Federal appointments in Gcor.i,,

the cid copperhead-, who have of late
years remained quiet, ,crawled forth to hiss
their vcnomous spite.
Tho political tr.;n,n,, r H.
ners was displayed in the steps taken to
have President Grant overrule the nomi-
nation of his Postmaster General, and ap,
point white man. Nothing was said
against Nr. Simms, but much said in praise
of Mr.. Cleft, whose brother, Massa-
chusetts man by birth, represented the
Savannah districtin the Eortieth Congress
Those who have denounced Mr.. Cleft as
a carpet 'bagger all at once became much
interested in the appointment Of his bro.
ther as Postmaster and he was ap,

will be regarded by the Georgia rebels as
evidence that their legislative action
against colored persons holding office was
correct, and it is to be feared that il may
embolden them to commit Few acts OF
violence and oppression upon those regar-

Grant should have thus been persuaded

and her for succor, In anticipation Of this,
she had her kettle boiling over the drifts

survivors. But either they did not un-
derstand her, or the chance of rescue seem-
ed too small TO induce them to abandon
the temporary safety of the wreck. They
clung to it with the desperate instincts of
life brought face to face with death. Just
at nightfall there was a slight break in the
west; red light glared across the thick
air, as if for one instant the eye of the
storm looked out upon the ruin it had
wrought, and closed again under lids of
cloud, Taking advantage of this, the
solitary watcher ashore made one more
effort. She walled out into the water,
every drop Of which, as il struck the
beach, became a particle of ice, and stretch-
ing out her arms, invited, by her gestures,
the sailors TO throw themselves into the
waves, and strive 10 reach her. Captain

will have the choosing Of the directresses,

much of which is of course to be perfec-
ted hereafter, Mr.. Stewards administra-

The cost will be reduced to the lowest
figure possible under a most economical

make any money out of it. The great
and chief beauty of the whole plan is the
perfect independence of every inmate.
Each one pays her bills as at a hotel, and
1t is in no ordinary sense to be considered

from their homes those living with their
