We were shown yesterday, the remnant
of the battle dag of the 10th Alabama regi-
ment of infantry. There Is but little Of the
original left. and that which remains has
number of bullet holes In it. 1t was the
ensign Of as gallant band as marched un
der the Southern cross in the late war, and,
though apparently tattered and torn rag,
its weight in gold would not purchase 1t
from Its possessoF, the commanding officer

The Republican revolt against the
Administration is contagious, and i:
breaking out everywhere. Speaking OF
the New York demonstration, the Even.
ing Post, Republican paper. which is
not yet committed to the movement,
says:
The meeting was meeting Of the people
the grand, enthusiastic.magnificen speeches
of TTumbull and SchurZ were speeches OF
statesmen. 1t continues: THE assemblage
was one of the most imposing ever held in
this city, and the feeling eyinced has not
been surpassed for earnest and enthusiast ic
expression since the war. If we may judge
by the names Of the ice-presidents and
secretaries, hackneyed politicians had very
little 70 do with 1t, and the greater part was
composed of the middle class of business
men, with considerable number of adj
Yanced and independent thinkers, who care
more for principles than parties. Nearly
all the existing parties save that of office
holders, were pretty fully represented.
\ Washington telegram announces
Advices at hand OF the inside workings
Of the New York Liberals, show that with
Two or three exceptions all of the prominent

Extract from u Washington telegram !:
Advices at hand show that Col. Babcock.
chairman OF the Illinois State Republican
committee, has signified his intention of 90
ing 10 Cincinnati. EX-Secretary OF State
Hatch, a member Of the committee, has
signed a call for a Liberal State Conven-
ton. Hon. Jesse X. Dubois, Gen. Butler,
and others prominent under Gov. Yates,
have also pronounced in favor of the dis
affection. Gen. Logan declares that the
German vote has LETT the party. There is Il
good deal OF excitement among Western
politicians here.
Ex-GOv. BLAIR
Of Michigan, comes out boldly for the Gin

tend it. If so, he viii be chairman of full
delegation from Michigan, where he repre-
~euts a strong opposition existing against

GEN. JOHN c. FREMONT,
it is understood here, will come out in a day
or two in support OF the Cincinnati conven-
ton.
PEORIA, H., April 13.-The Liberal Re-
puhiicans are moving here to-day. Col. y.
g. Iugersoll, a prominent Republican of
Illinois stated he would attend the Cincin-
matt convention. take part i'm its delibera-
tions aud support its nominees. Hon. f. c..
johnson, also a prominent Republican, will
follow.
1t Is now absolutely certain that TWEEN
ty-eight States will be represented at
Cincinnati, and that they will give forth
no uncertain sound in condemnation of
the extravaganza, corruption and tyranny
of the Washington rulers.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Comments Of the Press ON the
Acting Governors Defeat of
fEae Reform bill.
"a Mammoth Fraud--.an Arrant
SWindIe--A Blatant Hum bug
From the Goodman Star.

From the Goodman Star.
The impression is prevalent that the bill
reducing the fees and salaries has become
a law. Such is not the case. 1t is true the
bill passed both Houses of the Legislature
by an overwhelming majority, but it failed
t. become a law, by our Governor Powers
retaining it in his his possession. Had he We
toed il and returned it, the bill would have
passed over his head-this he knew-so he
quietly pocketed it, and thereby placed it
beyond the power of the Legislature to do
what the people had a right to expect.
Oar Governor has sown the wind and
may he reap the whirlwind. He had blovi-
ated no little about the great necessity of
reducing fees and salaries; and indeed to
have heard him talk, one could not but
conclude that the State did not afford a
reform6r half as sincere and Jealous as
himself but his promises were made only
to be broken, as the sequel conclusively
proved.
Our Governor is a mammoth fraud-an
arrant swindle-a blatant humbug. We
can come 10 no other conclusion, with the
lights before us.
