HOW DICKENS STUDIED HIS SUB
JECTs.

As he completed book he seemed to
himself to be "dismissing some portion
of himself into the shadowy world when
the crowd of the creatures of his brain
were going from him forever When
he had written the chapter describing
the death of little Paul Dombey he wan
dered for whole night restlessly and
with 4 heavy heart about the streets Of
Paris. To the acuteness Of his observa-
ton every page of his novels bear wit
ness. His eyes seemed to photograph
the scenes Of cities, the traits of people
casually met, the ways of animals, and
his memory held and reproduced them
all. There IS not character in all his
books that is not drawn from life; and
if the color is filed in so warmly that
Mrs. Nickleby does not know herself
and the brothers Cheeryble have no
suspicion of their identity, the skill Of
the artist IS no less great. To the care Of
his Workmanship his biographer must
testify. From the time when he went
down into Yorkshire in bleak winter to
look for a school for an imaginary or
phan, and was warned away by a real
John BrOwdie,-to the night last OCto-
Der when he explored the opium dens Of
London to obtain material for the open
ing of edwin Brood reproducing in
the first number word for word the very
dialogue to which he lstened.-he al
ways studied from the life. And though
the historical novel was not his forte, his
tales of the French Revolution and the
Gordon Riots were based upon as care
full study, and were as faithful in detail,
as anything done by Scott or Thackeray.

A PLAIN MANS OPINION OF DOM
PIATT.

LAIONl U uIlC :.
To the Editor of the Commercial:

Ia lC~f1 ~ J tAAtN ;
To the Editor of the Commercial:
Your Washington correspondent, d.
P, owing to his chronic sore headed
ness, has about played out IN this part
of the vineyard, by reason of his violent
and repeated abuse of much better men
than he dare claim to be. Indeed, the
whole burden of his song has been for
months past, a constant TRADE of the
foulest and dirtlest abuse of the Republi-
can party and the present Administra-
ton. :
If you would instruct your foreman to
retain in type such words as Gave of
the Winds, " "Fog-bank," " "Old Putty
Face, my little, "Pig Iron" and a
few others that might be named, you
would save a deal of expense in com
positors' work, for such words and
phrases make up the principal part of
his letters.
In word, your paper IS losing its
good name and influence from lending
its columns to such disappointed Repub-
liCans as d. P. 1t has been said that if
he I'd. P.l had been taken care of as he
asked to be, by General Grant, that his
song would have been pitched in very
different key.
His especial spite seems directed to-
ward President Grant, the very man of
all others that all rebellion now hates
and despises, and the only one the late
war developed that has the ability to
successfully lead armies and win battles
that told on the enemy-all which proves
that he ID. P regards self more than
country.
Again, it is curious to US country clod-
hoppers that if D. P. is such great man
as he claims to be, and so pure and hon
est withal, that he has not accomplished
more than he has. We have been told
that he never yet occupied a place Of
much honor (save as your correspond
ent) or profit by election or appoint
ment, and generally men Of brain are
sooner or later recognized, and their ser
vices secured to the public.
Our advice is to Mr.. d. P. to return at
once to Mack-a-Cheek and dig and
grub and plow. and earn an honest iv-
ing by honest labor, and stop his per-
sistent abuse Of the men and the party
that saved the liberty of the country that
he, D. P, is now misusing, to-wit the
liberty of misrepresenting his superiors
in every virtue that constitutes a good
man.

STEPHENS ON GRANT.

In the second volume A. H. Steph-
ems History of the War, he describes
his interview with Grant in the camp be-
fore Richmond. He says:
81 was never SO much disappointed in
my life, in my previously formed opin-
ions, of either the personal appearance
or bearing of any one, about whom Ihad
heard so much. The disappointment,
moreover, was in every respect favora-
BILE and agreeable. / was instantly
struck with the great simplicity and per-
feet naturalness of his manners, and the
entire absence of anything like affecta-
ton, show, or even the usual military
mien of men in his position. He was
plainly attired, sitting in a log cabin,
busily writing on a small table, by a
kerosene lamp. 1t was night when we
arrived. There were nothing in his APP
pearance or surroundings to indicate his
official rank. There were neither guards
or aids about him. Upon Colonel Bah
cocks rapPing at his door. the response.
Come in, was given by himself in a
tone of voice and a cadence / never can
forget. His conversation was easy, and
fluent, without the least effort or restraint.
In this, nothing was so closely noticed by
me as the point and terseness with
which he expressed whatever he said
He did not seem either to court or avoid
conversation, but whenever he did speak,
what he said was directly to the point,
and covered the whole matter in a few
words. | saw before being with him
long, that he was exceedingly quick in
perception, and direct in purpose, with
a vast deal more of brains than tongue,
as ready as that was at his command.

THE NEW ATroRNEY GENERAL.

Judge HOarS s successor IS Amos /.
/ Ackerman, originally from Portsmouth,
/ N. II. He went to Georgia when he was
| twenty-one, read law with Judge Berrain,
the most noted counsellor Of that State,
and lives at Elberton, the seat of Ebert
county, some seventy miles up the river
I from Augusta. He is about a. or 48
years of age. and has long been regard
ed as one of the most modest and unas-
suming of gentlemen in Georgia. Be
fore the war he was Wing, and thor
oughly a national man. He opposed
secession in the most decided manner,
and was held in surveillance by rebels
for his hostility. After the conscrption
act went into rigid operation, he avoid
ed going into the ranks Of the army by
taking nominal position on the staff Of
Robert Toombs. This brought him un-
der political disabilities, which were re-
moved this winter by Congress. He
holds the position of United States Dis
trict Attorney for Georgia, to which he
was appointed by the President on rec
ommendation of Joshua Hill warmly
endorsed by Mr.. Hoar If Bradley had
been rejected, the Attorney General
would have urged his appointment to
the Supreme Bench, and the President
would probably have nominated him for
the vacancy. He was at the head of
the Grant electoral ticket in his State dur
ing the last canvass, and is spoken of by
all here who know him as a man Of the
highest integrity. He was a member Of
the Convention that formed the present
Constitution for Georgia, and distin-
guished himself therein for his advocacy
of the claim of the colored men to hold
Office. Ex-Gov. Brown and Gov. Bull
lock opposed him, and it was their inhu-
ence that led to the defeat of Acker-
mans effort to get the clause into the
constitution putting the question at issue i
beyond all controversy. If his advice to
colored men in that convention had been
followed all the troubles in that State
would have been avoided. He opposed
Bullock's elevation to the Provisional
{ Governorship, and is not now among his
friends. His course since he was made
District Attorney, has been such as to
earn for him high praise from the Presi-
dent and Attorney General S Office. He
was not an applicant, either himself or
by his friends, for any other position,
and will not know of his appointment
to the Cabinet till he hears Of it by mail
or telegraph.

Loss by the transaction, estimated oo
in currency SI3-ZS5
From this estimate / have excluded
the revenue which the friends Of the bill
claim the Government would derive
from the new banks in the way of Ii
Cense tax, tax on deposits and net earn
ings, for the very good reason that all
the Government would gain from these
sources it would lose in consequence of
the diminution of the number and busi-
ness of private banks into national, or
their entire displacement. Nor have /
taken into the account the expense the
Government would necessarily incur in
the way of engraving, printing, and tur-
nishing the circulating notes required by
the new banks, the first cost of which
would not be less than $500, 900, and the
annual cost thereafter at least $I2, ,Ooo.-
Nor have | taken into consideration the
cost to the Government of substituting
S4Oo, ,ooo, 900 new bonds for old, which
in estimating the advantages or disad-
vantages of this bill should be consider
ed. Nor have | calculated the cost OF
the additional clerical force, blanks,
postage, stationery, and printing which
these new banks would render necessary
in the Currency Bureau. The amount
of business in that bureau would be in
creased one fourth, and the expenses
probably increased about the same pro-
portion. So that if the the bill should
accomplish all that its friends claim, it
would increase the taxes over one hun
dred thousand dollars and diminish the
currency of the country 1000, 900.
Those sections of the bill providing
{ !, l., ls5r-
culation shall be redeemable in gold
regard as of no importance, for the SIM
pie reason that the proposition IS at
this time impracticable. Gold banks
will come with resumption; for this the
country is not prepared, and every effort
on the part of Congress to hasten 1t VIII
but put the day further off by creating
hopes and expectations which will be
followed by disappointment and failure.
The greenback is gradually and surely
approaching the gold standard. We
are moving toward resumption quite
rapidly enough for the prosperity of the
country. Every sudden start forward
induced by legislation will in the future,
as in the past, be followed by reaction,
and both the advance and retreat will
derange business and create widespread
and general dissatisfaction.
The section of the bill which provides
for a more equitable distribution of the
national banking currency has my un-
qualified approval. If, coupled with
| this, the committee had authorized addi-
tional national bank circulation, with no
provision for retiring an equal amount Of
greenbacks, would have voted with
them most cheerfully, for such an act
would increase the general volume of
currency, give all the advantages which
national banks may afford to the West
and South, and be, in my opinion, gen.
| orally satisfactory to the people of the
! whole country.
