JUDGE HoAR, in his letter declining re-
election to Congress, pays the following
tribute to the lower branch THE House
had to deal with vast interests with many
questions upon which public opinion is
much divided, and was too large for the
rapid and easy dispatch of business. 1t
has sometimes seemed to be timid, and to
mistake popular clamor for the settled con-
victions Of the people. But believe ii on
the whole to have been thoroughly honest
body, composed in the main of upright and
able men, who sought the public welfare,
were opposed to corrupt and mercenary
schemes, and fairly represented their con.
stituents Its efforts to promote economy,
retrenchment and reform, though perhaps a
little indlscriminate. seemed to me to be sin.
cere, and productive of many good results.
But especially gratifying was the progress
made in exposing and bringing to account
the tribe of Office obbers, contract. jobbcrs
informers, moiety men and plunderers oil
the treasury, whose rule of conduct il
briefly expressed in the phrase, to max,
politics pay. Their influence, and that o.
their promoters and allies, was obyiously
and steadily declining through the entire
session; and their prospects do not seem tc
be bright for the future. 1t has been 4
matter of common observation that in nc
recent Congress has the lobby had so little
influence or success; and | can recall nc
measure which was carried to which the
suspicion Of mercenary or improper support
was attached"

The United States attorney general is
in daily receipt of letters from the South
concerning the unsettled state of affairs,
the blacks complaining Of unjust treatment
by the whites, and the whites of the danger
to which they are subjected from the al
legged combination Of the negroes against
them. The Southern situation involves DIFF
6culties which will never be fully removed
save by the lapse of time and the extiuc.
ton Of the spirit of hatred which the des.
perate struggle of the rebellion engeu.
dered. So far as the federal and state gov
ernments are concerned, so long as these
strong prejudices prevail there will be cou-
slant trouble aud frequent outbreaks, and
it will require the highest degree Of wisdom
on the part Of officials to keep the peace
and at the same time to avoid conflict be-
tween federal and state authorities. The
prime needs of the South to-day are educa.
ton and moral elevation. Without these,
government degenerates and becomes the
instrument of selfish adventurous
