RACE FOR OFFICE.

A correspondent OF western paper mas
recently had an interview with Senator Trum-
bull. of Illinois, who seems to have gloomy
f;rebodings for the future ii the rage for
Office, SO prevalent at the present day, is not
in some way checked. The following is the
substance of the interview:
was speaking to the distinguished Sena-
tor from Illinois, one day this week, upon
the moral effect of upsettiDg all the desks Of
Office every four years
I'VE shall be broken up" said Senator
TrumbulI, "unlsss some administration will
set the example, or some Legislation will com
pei it, of making the price of office good be-

know. But you do not probably know the eff
feet of the periodical rotation upon Congress.

the better social enjoyments were available to

ton and thought. So manifold have the

ment come up to Congress now. By Satur-

a Little Strange.

We regard the following as containing some
statements that sound somewhat singular. 1t
is the first intimation we have ever seen pub
lished, of any such propositions as are here
stated to have been made to the officials of
the late Coufederscy. And yet there seems
to be some foundation for tho story 1t is
brought out by correspondent of the Wheel
ing Register, who writes from Roanoke coun-
ty, Va. He tells the story in the following
plausible style;
while in Marion. Smyth county, few
DAYS ago, had the pleasure of several lengthy
chats with Hon. Fayette mcMullin. Mr..
McMullin says that since the war he was one
day in the Presidents house. in Washington,
conversing with Hon. 3. p. Blair. senior
Mr.. Blair told him that soon after McMullin's
"peace resolutions" had been introduced into
the Confederate Congress, Mr. Lincoln. being
extremely anxious to bring about peace hon.
orable alike to both sections of the country,
and foreseeing and wishing to avoid the po-
litical consequences of the military subjuga-
tion of the South. sent him mr.. Blair) to
Richmond to confer with Mr.. Davis and learn
what arrangements of the difficulties could be
made He was passed through the lines of
the contending armies and conducted to Mr..
Davis's house in Richmond. After a long
conversation with Mr.. Davis and ether prom
inent gentlemen for whom Mr. Davis sent,
and for whom Mr.. Blair inquired, Mr.. Davis
said he had no proposition TO make. Mr..
Blair then proposed that Gen. Lees army be
marched info Mexico against the French /;
that General Grant would follow and support
the movement; that the united armies would
drive out Macmillan and then the Southern
States should name their own terms of recon-
struction .everyt hing short of Independence be-
ing guaranteed. AT Mr.. Davis's request this
proposition was made in writing. aud after
some consultation and reflection. was signed
and accepted by him. Mr. Blair returned to
Washington, and Mr.. Lincoln was highly de-
lighted with the success of the negotiation.
1t was in the hope of concentrating this ar
raDgement that Mr.. Linceln and Mr.. Seward
met the peace commissioners" Hons. Ste
phens, Hunterand Campbell. at Fortress Mon
roe hut there to Mr.. Lincoln's chagrin, the
committee declared that they had been in
structed by Mr.. Davis to insist upon the in
dependence of the South, and would listen to
no other proposal And thus the whole af-
fair came to "most lame and impotent con-
clusion."
Such is the substance of the account rela-
ted to Governor MchIulin by Mr.. Blair
Mr. NLcMulIin says that he asked and obtained
Mr.. Blair's permission to make the statement
public. but he had refrained from giving it
publicity pending Mr.. Davis's trial, fearing
least it might in some way prejudice his case.

BGD- The New York Sun, original Grant

guIshcd for having conferred upon him costly

Not to 90 bnck to Jefferson, or Adams or

J"huson had sense aud decency enough to
refuse the present OF carriage and horses

ditures come ia he regarded us necessary

that the main object Of office is not to dis

thereby attain sudden riches and indulge

WHICH DO YOU MEAN7

In the last number of the Winchester
Times. we fud in the editorial column most
gallant defence of the Northern Democracy.
To show the tenor of this we'll written article,
we make the following extract:
1--WE regret to see that the Richmond Why
and other Journals. with whom we frequently
concur, deem it necessary to denounce our
Northern Democratic friends. II is folly. it
is worse than folly, it is criminal That grand
old organization failed to break down the re-
construction laws aud is still struggling to
ameIiorate them. II does not necessarily fol-
low that the failure of high endeavor should
be visited with ridicuIe-or grave censure."
That is admirably said. and is to some ex>
iri,f lust But what are we to think Of the
following, which appears original in another
column of the same paper:
Some good people hereabnuts still seem
to look to the Democracy of the North for
help! This would be amusing, if it was not
extremely ridiculous. We must act without
any reference TO any such an organization as
the Northern Democracy, for it is both weak
and trcacherous."
Which do you mean, gentlemen of the
Times =? Which is earnest and which is fun !?
These two paragraphs sound strangely as cons
ing from the same paper.

POLITICAL DEGENERACY-lt certainly
does not augur well for our political insti-
tutions thar there is large degeneracy in the
character of those who represent them. a
few years ago Daniel Webster aud Rufus
Choate were Senators from Massachusetts,
Their successors are now Sumner aud Wilson
From New Hampshire we used to have Wood
bury and Pierce. We now have nobody of
any prominence From New York we had
Silas Wright and N p. Ta!u,adge. Wei now
have Conk ling and Fcnton Cameron in Penn
syvania takes the place of james Buchanan,
and John Sherman, of Thomas Ewing in
Ohio. Carl Schurz. presumptnous German,
occupies the place of Thomas Fl. Benton in
Missouri and drunken Dick Yates takes the
seat of Stephen a. Douglas. In Tennessee,
the blackguard editor Brnwnlov. usurps the
position of Hugh L. White. and the Ohio
school teacher. Fowler. that of Felix Grundy.
The South. now represented by unknown
carpet baggers from the North. had then such
men in Congress as John G. Calhoun. Robert
Y. Hay ne. George McDuffy John NJ. Berrien
George 4. Badger. w. G. Preston, George r.
Puindexter. William r King. w. G. Rives
Governor Tazewell and General Sam Houston.
1t is almost impossible to consider the in
, ,,cc...:! falling off between these distinguish.
ed names and their compeers in the House.
and their present successors. The decay of
popular institutions, under the Imrerialist
idea. is we'll exhibited by the contrast. The
course of our politics seems to have been from
the highest realm of intelligence down to the
lowest pools of ignorance and corruption.-
Unless there is a speedy change for the better,
what are we to expect, except the total over
throw Of the Republic?
