~ Some of the officers and soldiers of
the rebel army have long since acknowledged
their error, and by their words, their acts and
their votes, given evidence Of their adher-
ence to the Union, and their satisfaction over
the results Of the war. Prominent among
these is Gen. Longstreet, who has held Office
under the government with the assent and
approval of many Of the truest and best of
the supporters of the Union during the war.
But very few rebels of lower rank have been
placed in office by the general government,
and the question whether they are ever to
hold office has been but little discussed. There
is the more excitement, for this reason, Just
now, over the appointment of rebel soldier
to a elerkship in Washington, The man is
under no civil disability, is good Republican,
and has stood the test of an examination as
to his capacity for the place. The only OBJ
lection to him is, that he was a rebel, and il
is urged that on this account he shall be ex'
cluded from office. To say nothing of the
Justice of this, in the case of a man now truly
loyal, aud perhaps in the rebel army contrary
to his own wishes, it is really a question
whether it would be good policy for our gov
eminent to adopt rule which might drive
all Of this class into the ranks Of the oppo-
sitou, and keep them there When We
made citizens of the black men, the right tC
vote and to hold office could not be kept
back, and the measure of justice would moi
have been complete without that right and
so, when rebels are restored to citizenship
the right to vote must carry with it the right
to hold office, and any prescription of then
as class may be dangerous to the public
peace as well as unjust to them and the
the party which should adopt such proscrip'
tive course would doubtless lose all the sup
port of such, as well as of many others, both
at the North aud South.

BARNru's GREAT SHOW 49, Barnum 5 great show
is the great sensation of the season. We clip
the following notice from the Boston Post, which
speaks knowingly of this mammoth enterprise
Barnums great show is an immense affair. It
came yesterday and conquered the town. The
great Snowman has combined quantity, variety
and excellence which Is altogether unprecedented
10 the history Of any kindred entertainment. As
matter Of fact it is both very original and very
entertaining and mammoth-like, Just as are all
Mr. Barnum's schemes. No other man living
would venture upon anything 20 gigantic a this
Few, it is true, have the means, and fewer still
the pluck and confidence. The establishment
embraces a menagerie, a circus, museum, a
| hippodrome and caravan. Each is very com
pete in ITSELF and all can be seen at one price and
/ that at the moderate figure Of only fifty cents.
Nothing comparable to it has ever before been at
tempted in this country il indeed in the world
/ Barnums do not exist in every country, and their
works are accordingly not seen. The exhibitions
/ yesterday at | and r. NJ. were attended by
thr0ngs, which appeared to be inspired by but
| single sentiment-that of unqualified commenda-
ton. So much and 50 grand could not in justic,
and the nature Of things be otherwise 1t Is graf
flying that 50 fine show is to remain in our city
for the remainder of the week. 1t is sure to b

Gen. Schenck has now been here long
enough to get tolerably familiar with his
work, and to be pretty wel-known. All the
opinions hear expressed are warmly in his
favor. Mr.. Moran, dare say is willing to
be relieved from the double work he has done
since Mr., Motley's departure, work falling
upon him both as secretary of Legation and
as charge d'afiaires, and getting always thor
oughy well done. As for Gen. Schenck, he
came here on the crest Of the wave, and has
been overwhelmed with attentions Of all sorts.

One house in Pompeii had evidently been

buried it, Painters and decorators and clean
ers were masters of the situation. The house
hold goods were all in disorder, and the fam.
ily if not out of town, must have been un-
dergong that condition of misery which
spring cleanings and other like infections in-
evitaby entail. Painters pots and brushes
and workmen's tools were scattered about
Tel-tale spots of whito-wash starred wall aud
floor. Such domestic implements as pots and
kettles had been bundled up in corner by
themselves, and the cook was nowhere. Din.
ner, however, had not been forgotten. A SO.
itary pot stood simmering, Of ever it did
simmer) on the stove And start not, it is
true) there was bronze dish in waiting be-
fore the oven, and on the dish sucking.pig, all
ready to be baked But the oven was already
engaged with its full complement of bread.
So the sucking,pig had to wait. And it never
entered the oven, and the loayes were never
taken out until after sojourn of 100 years!
They had been cooking ever since November
23d, A. d., 10. Mr.. Fiorelli has them now
in his museum at Pompeii, rather hard, Of
course and black, but perfectly preserved.

T. When people lose their temper, they
are very apt to lose their discretion too, and
say things which it would be more prudent
to leave unsaid. The Albany Argus, in
high dudgeon at the course Of the New York
Times blurts out few revelations of its
own On the whole. public life in New York
would seem to be little demoraizng: -
A Radical editor recently went through the
New York court house, and asked, where is all
this plastering, all this furniture We can tell
him The hands Of radical politicians at Albany
had to be plastered annually before the New York
tax levy could become a law. To one man, a
saint Of saint Lawrence, sixty thousand dollars
had to be paid to another, a white neck clothed
scoundrel from Madison, n sum nearly great,
Garyey plaster whiens walls and lertilizes farms
in the west Of the state. lngersoll's furniture
decks respectable mansions in the interior, and
the neighbors wonder how the wealth and taste
OF the owner were so suddenly developed.
