Itappears to us that Hiram Ulysses
has got more than be bargained for
when be selected tho above named
gentleman as his Attorney General,
in the place of Judge Iloar, If we are
to take as genuine letter written by
Ackerman to his political friends in
Georgia, in reference TO the eompli.
cations of reconstruction in that State.
The Attorney General winds up his ar
gument in this wise:
"You are all Republicans, and therefore will
say a word to you Of the party aspects of the mat
ter. An apprehension has been expressed that
we shall lose the State II election Is held next
fall, We may better lose the State than keep 1t
wrongfully If we lose ;he State in fair election,
though il may be dsagrceahlc. yet we shall have
no right to complain. 1t is one Of freeman s
privileges to vote perorscy when so minded, and
" the majority choose so to vote, the rest Of US
must submit for the time, and trust that reflection
and experience will bring thom in the end 10 SCUM
der politics"
Now, when we consider the fact
that this extraoi dinary specimen Of a
country lawyer writes more like a pol
itieian than a public funclionary and
statesman, yet the sentiments are
tolerant and liberal. considering the
source from which they come and the
influence which surrounds the writer,
we must not be surprised if our digni.
fed and wonderful President, when he
returns from his hob nobing tour
throughout the country, should say to
his offending and careless Attorney
General, mo more be legal and con
stitutional advsier of mine" Who
then will be next in the cabinet of the
second Washington

About eleven years ago, when the
Emperor OF the French had reached
the height of his fortune; when he
had been victorious in two great wars
having personally led the French
troops in the battles of Magenta and
Solferino When Russia and Austria
were Inundated, all Europe looked to
him as the arbitrator, and in France
the cry of victory had for time ST.
fenced every opposition to the impcri.
al regiene. At tthis important period
the interveil at Vilairanca, between
the Emperor of Austria and Napoleon,
took place.
A little more than eloven years have
passed by, and Napoleon asks for an
interview with King William to sur
render himself as prisoner of war,
perhaps for the purpose of saving bis
almost worn.out life, which certainly
is as safe among The Prussians as
omong the French. France has her
soil invaded by an overpowering and
resistless enemy her splendid armies
defeated at every pointi her Gener.
ais out Aanked, ,out.manouvercd. out.
fought and beaten ut every step
And why is tbis2 Why has France
lost her laurels? Because she gave
the sword into the hands of an usurper
who had destroyed her liberties and
killed thousands on thousands of her
best sons and banished the most illus
trious Of her children. Poor France
Alas, Napoleon.

GOSPEL TRurH The New York
Sun asks: rWhat would have becn
thought of Lincoln. ii, after our Bull
Run, he had like the Empress Eugenie,
rent the air with cries of despair r.
Well we have this to say of il: In all
the great crises Of our war Mr.. Lin
coin had a gun boat at Washington
ready cred up, aud in case OF an omer-
gency prepared to take him and his
family 10 any port Of safety that he
might designate. He also, on his way
to Washington in 1861, put on a dis.
guise Of a Scotch eap and plaid to ar.
rive there safely. We don't think
that Lincoln had any thing to boast
of over Eugunic, who, as yet, has made
no effort to leave Paris Had it not
bcen for Lincolns fears Of his own
safety, and his recall Of McDowcll's
corps in 1862, Richmond would have
been taken by General Mcclellan -
Mcdowell did't 90 to Richmond. but
Slonewall Jackson did and, and the re
suit all the world knows.

He did not think writ Of error could be

Judge Campbell replied that they had
taken good care to see that the writ OF error
would lie.. cst11t74 g os.t55@ E Y,
Judge Dibble said the position assumed
by Mr.. Semmes was the correct one, and
thst the defendants must first exhaust the
remedies allowed them by the law Of the
State, that of applying to the Supreme Court
of the State for mandamus to compel him
to grant the appeal. ne
Continuing, Judge Dibble said, addressing
Judge Campbell, that, ii he would file .

TO the State Supreme Court, the court
would I'D consider cons d. and pass upon the motion
Judge Campbell replied "1will do no
such thing. sir."l g. NIe. trF
Judge DibbIe then said he would not
allow the writ of error. Some little discus
sion here arose as to the manner in which
the rulings of the court should be entered
in the minutes, Mr.. Semmes suggesting
that it should be in the precise words of the
court, and not in the words suggested by
Judge Campbell, addressing Judge Dibble.
said: VERY well, fix it as you please. only
wish it shown that We have asked that

Mr. Semmes said that as the case at
issue was quo warranto to inquire into
the right of Office in a State that it could
not be taken to the United States Su-
preme Court. Judge Campbell replied
that that question would be passed upon
elsewhere. Continuing, he said his object
was to apply to one Of the Judges OF the
Supreme Court, and he wished it to appear
upon the written petition he had fled Gnde-
pendent of the records Of the court that he
had applied to this court for the writ, and
that it had been refused.
Judge Dibble here took the petition and
informed Judge Campbell that he would
write across the back his reasons for refus-
ing to allow the writ, and return it to-mor-

as witness before the United States Court.

not refuse bonds, and the bondsman he took
was duly qualified and solvent, notwith.

the court qualify him besides, it is known
that he possesses full fifteen thousand dol.
