Henry S. FooTE is native OF virginia
1t is funny fact How it came about We
can hardly understand. He is perfect
GD1pus. He is now engaged IN writing
what are called Developments " of Confede-
rate history for the Sunday Chronicle, OF
Washington, paper founded by JOHN W.
FoRSEy. The venerable FooTE seems to be
gratifying his personal dislikes by assailing
great many of his former colleagues in re-
sistance to the Federal Government. But
chief of all, lie sends bis shafts at MIR. DAVIS.
OF course people would he great foo.s to
adopt all of Mr. FooTE's conclusions under
his bitter preiudices. The testimony upon
which he rests his opinions is, however,
vague and frivolous enough TO guard any
Intelligent and well-balanced mind from his
wholesale judgments. '
Mr.. DAVIS is not the calmeSt and wisest
man that survives his gallant compatriots in
the Confederacy; indeed, he has spoken
often imprudently, and all bis acts are not
wise; but who can raise his voice against
him when ne sees the pack that now pur-
sues him barking at his heels? .g

The, ONO NEGRoEs.-We stated in our
review of the Ciamorous convention OF
blacks ut Chillicothe that they would NOT
stand firm; but that after they fired of their
gun they would take fright at the report and
TALL down and worship the Republicans
African instinct makes them do this. 90 on
Monday night the negroes or .Cinclnnat''
marshaled by Colonel BOB HARLAN, held a
meeting to repudiate the resolves of Chilli
Gothic and hail the "splendid results " OF
General GRANTS administration. =
But It was conducted under the greatest
difficulties. HARLAN had the majority, Duh
there was q stout minority of Chlllcotheans,
and their hostilties were so boisterous ana
beligereut that it was bard to do any biisl'
ness. HARLAN cracked his voice, aud bandeo
lis written speech to the reporters. He drew
forth his resolutions, as the Commercial
says, wrapped in rag and tied with twine
string. PETER Fl. CLARK was present, and
read the Chinicothe resolutions by request
Immediately after which HARLAN moved
their reference to the Committee on Resolu'
tons, which was carried, thus giving HAIR
Ian a victory over CLARK that was hallcd
with cheers: CLARK had succeeded in Chilli
cotbe in giving the same fate to HARLAS's
resolutions.
The upshot Of The whole proceeding was
the adoption by vote Of SO to 70 Of resolu-
tions deuouncDg the Cbilicothe resolutions
expressing faith In repubicanism and aud-
ing "the results of the splendid administra'
ton Of General grant" (Why hasn't our
pious fellow-citizen Mr.. HUGHES this phrase
this "splendid administration Nothing
pleases the African ear better than high
sounding" phrases.]
PETER Ell. CLARK disavowed hankerlng Tor
social equality. and by way of illustration said
that, about year ago, coming from meet
ing in buggy with Mr.. SMITH. the editor OF
the Cincinnati Gazette, they two had TO ciihs
close together, but he had not called on Mr..
SMITH commonly styled deacon j since,
save on business. Yet CLARK wants the
abolition of all distinctions in steamboats,,
hotels, schools, &c.
The meeting varied its entertainments
with fights, although it was held in acburch;
and when the question was finally taken few
remained. This is the way the darkleS "
entertain themselves. They will all 90 for
their Republican masters when the election
comes. They will continue to do so until!
some day when politics shall become so con,
founded that they will close their places "
and will not know whittier to go.

THE. SALARY GRAB Washington, August
GA prominent official of the Treasury
Department to-day, in conversation on the
subject Of the. refuntling Of the back pay by
members Of Congress, remarked that the
whole procedure was q farce, for the simple
reason that there was nc. value received, and
hence could not be 4 complete or valid trans
action. In his opinion, unless there was
some special legislation in the premises. the
paw could be drawn out again by the parties
themselves or by their legal heirs. The
money, he argued, had merely been turned
into the Treasury, and the Government has
the use of it, But has no permanent right to
it, Washington telegram Baltimore Sun.
The title passes with the delivery Of
money. The money was appropriated last
winter to pay these back salaries. It is now
drawn ont and paid back. into the Treasury.
OF course no congressman could draw it
twice ont of one appropriation, nor hereafter
until d new appropriation be made. And
this will never be made. And SO the promi-
neIt official il mistaken.
