Dispatches from Washington report
the following {:
"a servant of the Russian Minister
in July, 1862, has testified during the
examination of w. W. CorcOran's claim
by the Senate Committee, that at din
ner party given at the Russian legation
Senator Bayard said he would give SO
600 to any one who would assassinate
Mr.. Lincoln, and Mr.. Corcoran said he
would give ten times that sum. The
Committee summoned old man Dohner
who was then butler to the Russian
Minister to cOrroborate the testimony
of the witness. But Dohner has thus
far refused to testify, claiming privi-
leges on the ground that hewas employ
ed at the French Legation. He has
been excused until Wednesday next.
when he will have to testify, or be
brought before the Senate for con-
tempt.
Noone who knows Senator Bayard or
Mr.. Corcoran attach any credit to this
reported evidence. Mr.. Dohner, who
Is referred to, was steward to Mr.. b.
disco while the latter represented the
Russian Government at Washington.

VIRGINIA AND THE NEW C0EsTITU-

There is reason to believe that the

Constitution, will remain Oh the flies

March.
This will Of course continue Virginia
under Military rule until after the In
auguration of Gen. Grant as President
and until the Folty-Firs5 Congress
shall legislate upon the subject.
The law yacating all the Offices in the
State will most likely go into effect
about the 18th of March, unless some
aetion,n unlocked for, shall be sp eed-

LOST CAUSES"

When Kossuth was beaten by Austria
in his war for Hungarian liberty, a
more completely ''lost cause" never
seemed so apparent. Yet time rolled
round, and to Hungary was conceded
all the rights for which she fought
twenty years before. To this example
may be added that of Italy, and both
raise the question why should the South
despair or her sons desert her?-Mobile
Register.
Few win agree with us, but to our
thinking the true "lost cause" was
slavery. Without it, State Rights are
not worth button, monal chy is
make-shift, and empire itself delus-
ion.

A MONARCHY AT WASHINGTON.

In late issue of that sterling 10 ur

find the following italicised declara-

"We will venture to say that there is
not one white man OUT of ten in the
South, who would not chose dictator
or emperor, in the person of a renown-
ed soldier like Grant, rather than sub
nit to an olgarchy of Radical politicians
in Congress-"
The Advertiser is right. Nine out of

the entire South. are satisfied that Re-
publican institutions have signaIly tall
