SINCE Mr.. Fish, as secretary o.
State Of the United States, initiated
the very urdiplomatic pastime o.
"throwing dirt" at Cstacazy, to whom
he alluded when he wrote to Gorts-
chakof, "The United States cannot
permit the introduction in Washing
ton of the diplomatic practices Of Con.
stantinople," the Russians have
found some of the same sort to fling
back. They retort with the partieu-
lars Of what was an open scan
dial in every court in Europe a few
years ago; of how an American minis
ter drove in the Empress's private
garden with q woman OF the town,
and how both insulted the Empress
by addressingher; how this specimen
of American good manners got intox-
icated one night at a bsHat the palace,
and beat e servant of the Emperor who
disputed his entrance into the private
apartments of the imperial family;
and how openly sold and disgraced
his high Office. Prince Gortschakof.
says a correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, made friendly and unofficial
representations to our government of
the unftness of this some envoy, but
Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward, with that
generous sentiment toward the past
record Of an old public man which
characterized both Of them, hoped the
.ndiscretions would not be repeated
Ind asked that he might be permitted
o stay. "Those who live in glass
houses should not throw stones"

TIE HEkALD,s RLUNDER.

The New York Herald, Great Bril-
tain and other great powers have
made a capital blunder. Dr.. Liv-
ingstone is not south Of the desert Of
Sahara. When last heard from he
was in LoWndes or Noxubee county,
Mississippi, looking for the head Of
Rio Niger and Nile, and it was
thought that he would either turn up
in the capitol at Jackson, or fall In
the conflict between Warmoth and
Carter. For thirty centuries Africa
has swung like a body Of dead sand to
Asia Europe, but detached by recent
commissions on this continent,
it is now part and parcel Of Grants
deleetable empire. The Herald should
recall its expedition from Abyssinisn
wilds and direct it in search Of won
ders of the old barbaric world into
States above designated.

ApRopos TO the living stories

APROPos to the flying stories about
the Prince Of Wales, at once discredit-
able and uniounded, the New York
Tribune repeats the gist Of MI. NJ. D.
Conwsy's letter to the Cincinnati Com
mercial, in which the heir apparent is
defended. Mr.. Conway informs US,
from personal observation, that the
conversation Of his Highness " is that
Of an educated man with some hui
NOR" The impression which he left
upon Mr.. Conwsy's mind was that
there is much more good in him than
is usually supposed" BE is not ga.
drunkard," though he " smokes more
than the anti-tobacconist would re-
commend" But what astonishes us
is the following statement: "He has
made no secret of his belief that he
wiz never sit on the throne, and 1t Is
plain that this belief has given him no
sorrOw." Are we TO understand MI.
Conway to say that IL is the opinion of
the Prince Of Wales that the British
monarchy is about to be abolished? II
Il is, all we have to say Is that this Is
)ne Of the most wonderful opinions
entertained by a prince OF the
blood, since monarchy came into
ashton.

An KxrRAORDrxARY GOVERN

An EXTRAORDINARY GOVERNOR.
Governor Powers is well known in
eastern Mississippi, where, though
3 carpet-bagger, he wssa highly es-
teemed sheriff. He is said to have
been an excellent soldier in the Fed
eral army, and it is somewhat singu-
lar, since he came recently from a
district Of Mississippi in which three
hundred ku-klUx arrests were made,
that he is not devoted to the discus
sion of the virtues Of this horrible bug
bear. In very truth, the opinion OBJ
tains that Governor Powers viii
disappoint many adventures and
thieves and make an excellent
chief magistrate. No Union man
can question his fidelity TO
the Union; no Republican his fealty
to party; and since he is a northern
man, he is exempt from suspicious
that Governor AlcOrn incurred, shak.
ing his hold upon the confidence
Of colored people. Governor Powers
devotes himself to simple, straight
forward matters OF business, and be-
cause of his personal history and par
tisan relations can do more for the
State and guard its treasury more et
fectively than any citizen of Missis-
sippi. II he achieve these tasks with
fidelity, the people Of all classes, white
and black, viii yet confess the debt OF
gratitude that viii be his due Plum
derers va the State already Swarm
In the lobSies Of the legis-
lsture, and the Governors moral
courage will be subjected often to
the severest tests. He is now iden-
tilted with the State in his per
sonal fortunes; wealth and history,
and we would iain hope that at the
close of his administration the coun-
try and press will be forced to confess
that there has been one single, spot
less, unselhsh, honest of6ce-hOld-
Ing csrpetbsgger in the South.
Next after the fame Of Washington
that OF Governor Powers will then be
most enviable. The final redemption
Of Our ace is hardly a more marvel
lOus subject Of contemplation than
his redemption Of the fame ofcarpet-
Oaggers. The Powers of Mississippi
achieves a feat worthy Of the powers
Of the universe. |,
