rib.s scenes that followed.
Charleston has had but three postmasters
since the first foundation Of this Govern
ment. The first, Mr.. T.. W. Bacot, was
appointed by George Washington. During

According to the Chicago Tribune "Mr.
Jefferson Davis ought TO be hanged" II
the Chicago Tribune and its Radical
heuChmen had things theiS own way, II is
very possible that a like verdict would be
passed upon every Southern man in the
country. But the Tribune may rest easy.
That hsppy Radical millennium has not
yet arrived when the South may be Oblit-
erated and every SOuthernsr may hnd
himself depending from q beam with a
hempen cord around his neck. The time
has not come; indeed, the time when
Radical power might have accomplished
all this has long since gone past.

il. estimating the position Of leading
men in France in regard to choosing q
form of government for the future Gen
eral Mcmahon is usually set down IS an
Imperialist, 3 friend Of the NRpoleonlo
dynasty. This Is a mistake. General nc.
MahOn never was q personal faFOrite.o OF
the Emperor. he was EsVsrR pet AZ inc
Imperial Court When the late war be-
gan, he was in retirement. Bszsine, LIE
Bout, Frossard, and his other rivals, had
full sway around tho Emperor. They
were politicians and cOurtiers, as Meme

1 his notions and opinions. General Nc
l MahOn Is not an ImpeTialist, nor VIII his
