A Red.HOt Interview.

The Heralu's Washington special gives
the following account of an alleged inter
terview between Senator Ross and the
President
Ross was admitted at the same time as
old Zach Chandler, but had the first chance
to speak to the President. 81 come, Mr..
President, to talk about appointments for
my State, having heard you intend to make
certain nominations, they may not harmon
ize with my desire, if you deem it worth
while to consult them in the least" To

responded, "Well, Sir" This Presiden-

ments do you allude in form me and then

Senator Ross liked the second answer as
little as tie fret, but having come for en-
lightenment, be was determined not to go

with suppressed rage, explained the ap-
pointments to which he had reference.

Let Us Take No Hand in Il.

we are opposed to the Conservative
masses placing any candidates in the field
this summer. It will be fruitless in our
opinion. The following extract from CO.
temporary contains very sensibls view of
this subject
Until the decision of the Supreme Court
upon the franchise act is rendered, we can
see no necessity for any action upon
the part of the Conservative people. That
the decision will be made known if it is
ever made up, we have not the remotest
idea. Aud if it is delivered. we feel GER
tain that it will be unfavorable to the hopes
of the DISTINGUISHED class. And should
that be the case, what good. we ask. can a
disfranchised person expect to accomplish
by taking any part in the canvass Now
for ourselves, we must be allowed to ex-
press the sublimest indifference between
any Radical candidates we take very lit
tie stock in any Conservative aspirations.
Those of US who are under the political
ban can more proftably employ our time
aud energies and talents, if we have any,
in looking to our material interests, rather
than busy ourselves about an election in
which any negro in the State. has vastly
superior privileges. II we were simply his
equal, then we might take an interest, but
we submit, if it is not humilieting in the
last degree TO persuade and beg white Rad
icals and Radical negroes to vote to place
US on footing of equality with them. Let
the voters of the State fig bit the battle. We
are drawback. Our support subjects the
loyal Conservative to the charge of sympa-
thy for ''rebels;" thus eakening his de-
termination and paraly his Efforts
There is one simple right which we ask in
this whole matter, and at some future time
perhaps. it will be granted. AS We are not
represented, justice and the demands of
Republican government require that We
should not be taxed.

frmed by the Senate as an internal revenue

has become postmaster of the aristocratic
State capital of South Carolina, late the Of
fetal headquarters of the Palmetto cbival-
ry, the very city from which came dec
cember 90, 1862, the first proclamation OF
secession. We are speaking of the pretty
little city Of Columbia, where the first note
of the rebellion was sounded and the last
note Confederate scrip of the rebellion
was uttered-the city which was mostly
destroyed by fire during Sherman's occu-
patton, and which has since been mainly
under the discipline of the Freedmen's
Bureau. But what are all these past suf-

No doubt General Grant was Influenced

doctrines. He appears 10 have. blossomed

ANDY Johnson on the Stump.

Elk President Johnson is creating a ire
mendOus sensation throug hout the State
just ct this time. His speeches in Knox
Vile and Nashville have been eagerly read
and common ted upon by men of all classes
and shades of opinion. II Is impossible,
however for US to reproduce either of them.
The Nashville speech alone would occupy
our entire space. Besides. while we en-
dorse, probably, every word uttered by
the great politician, we confess an utter
aversion for the man, and feel an appre-
hension hat his canvass of the State. while
it may elevate our hopes and spirits for
season, will eyentuate in confusion aud
more oppressive laws against the diefran-
ohised masses. The following ext act from
the Paris Intelligencer gives our views ex-
actly upon this subject:
We rather regret, occupying as we do an
extreme ant-Iadical standpoint, that Ex-
President Johnson should make a canvass
of Tennessee at this particular time. The
only possible effect it can have will be to
unite the different factions of the Radical
party into compact mass-to organize
afresh and with united purpose the disin-
tegrating elements of an INSCRIPTIONS
and tyranical party. Johnson's talk about
the Constitution is all very well-nay it is
the naked truth-the true theory and phil
osophy of tire political teachings of the fs-
theirs, and would. if recognized and adopt
ed as the rule Of action by the national
and STATE authorities restore distracted
country to peace and liberty. But why
talk Of liberty to tyrants-or eaudOr to a
Sesuit, or religion to the Devil? AS well

As to his performances on the Turf, we give you,
what his excellent Trainer, Mr. T. B. Patterson,
said of him, viz: CATER making successful cam
paigns for two years, and running over every

running AZ miles within 81 days, he considered him

believes Rousseau better horse than any he saw
