to me like the nucleus OF q new party.
There are great many people who are dis
satisfied with both parties. They are nnx-
ious for different order Of things. Inc
war Is over, and the people want peace:
The Republican party, or at least some OF
its leaders, seem bent upon. perpetuatihg
the memories Of the war, and thus Keeping
alive the feeling Of hatred aud sectionaiism
which engendcrcd it. This is destructive
of the best interests Of both sections. Some
of the Democrats. on the other hand, refuse
to accent the results OF the war, but L
don't believe their numbers arc Formidable
at all"
..lt seems jeff Davis, Aleck Stephens.
Rob Tonmh., and n few men Of that class In
the South, are unwilling to accept the stu
ation.'
AT first the Chief Justice made no reply
to THIS statement, but after while Ne
said
"Davis has been acting very foolishly Of
late in making speeches. rather think ne
h1s been miSrcpresented to some extent ny
the reporters. but he would have done bet
ter to have pursued the course he did at
first. and have refused to make speeches.
Davis. SterhenS, and Toombs represent but
small class Of the southern people. be-
lieve the masses Of them accept the results
Of the war in good faith. You see some of
the most influential Of the southern news
papers repudiate the utterances Of these
men,"
"What effect will the 'ncw departure
movement have upon the election of Pres-
dent in 1S72?'
IL should think it would have very
great influence upon that election. A great
deal. of course, depends upon the candi-
dates and the platforms. II the Democrats
nominate q good man, who will command
the popular confidence, and place him upon
the new departure PLATFORM he will, l
think. stand a good chance Of being elected.
There is great deal of dissatisfaction with
the Republican party. Many people who
are anxious for peace believe that we cam
not have peace between the North and the
South while the Republican party remain
in power. Before the harmony between
the two sections is restored there must be
general amnesty proclaimed. Now, while
| there are number of prominent men in
| the Republican party-men like Greeley
and Butler-who fivor general amnesty,
! the mass Of the leaders of the party are
| against it. You remember last winter how
Congress refused to pass an amnesty bill ~

They think Grant is their strongest
man."
Well, so he is, suppose and yet
understand there is considerable opposition
among some of the Republicans to his re-
nomination"
"The Republicans lay q great deal OF
stress upon the fact that he has collected
the revenue, paid Off the debt, and settled
the Alabama question:"
"The Secretary of the Treasury, think,
deserves quite us much credit for collecting
the revenue and paying off the debt as the
President. Governor Boutwell, has been
very fortunate in his management of the
Treasury. But, after all, it is the people
who pay off the debt. They would do it
as readily with any other man in the White
House rs General Grant. To be sure his
friends give him the credit Of it, but the
people deserve the praise."-Herald Re
