This correspondence indicates the opening
of active operations On the part of Hampton.
Chamberlain's refusal to yield possession will
be followed by the appointment Of all the off,
GERS of the Hampton government, and the PEG.
pie will be called upon to give them exclusive
support. Hampton has already taken steps to
Gil the appointive Offices in tho different
counties with persons who arc capable and
faithful and recognize his government. Specu'
lations are rife as to. the outcome OF the move
ment thus begun. Some believe the struggle
will continue until the 4th Of March. but the
general opinion is that the crisis will come dur
ing the present week.

The radicals are aot o5ly determlaed to have
the presidency, but both houses Of Congress
also. 10 accomplish this purpose the plan
they have adopted is for The members Of their
party 10 the next House Of Representatives to
stay away from it, and for the Senate to refuse
to recognize tho democratic members as a con-
stitutional body, upon the asserted ground that
some of its members irom the Southern States
we're elected by Intimidation, and to have them
elected FROM the Capitol By the Louisiana and

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10.

pho successive movement of the Western
democrats, as indicated By that OF those 10 H.
diana and Ohio, az having its effect upon their
friends 10 the North, ani there are already ru-
mors of consultations Of the party in New Jer-
sev, Connecticut and New York. A firm and
unalterably expressed determination to main
tain their rights at all hazards would, IN our
opinion, put an e~fectual stop to at further
belligerens talk upon the part OF such Irwin
chile in peace and Invisible in war chiettalnS
as Messrs. Morton add Chandler. There IS no
,lonbt that tie weak ana submissive policy OF
the democratic party 10 the North has induced
the radicals to make their present attempt to
usurp the possession OF the government. For
wears past it has known that liz friends IN the
South have been subjected to lndlgnltles, I'M
p~ositious and c~rueities uoheard OF before 10 E
country supposed to be Il republic. and though
appealed to time and again by every influence
that would tend 20 obtain succor and reilef. 1t
has apparently been afraid even to cndeavor to
respond. Indeed its leaders have labored under
such dread CT radical wrath, and of its potency
ia ~reyiyinp the auimosities of the late war,
which might effect their popularity, that, with
but very few honorable exceptions, they have
not even dared to express their sympathy Tor
the suffering South; and the action Of its money
ed men has been such as to induce the belief
that they would aot object to the massacre OF
the entire white population Of the South by
repetitioos Of the Cainhoy STAIR, provided
bonds and stocks we're not affected. BY its
course it has received, if it has not merited, the
contempt of its opponents, and 10 a eonVersa.
ton With Senator Morton, yesterday, upon the
probability CT fovcibis resistance 10 the fraud
he is 30 busily engaged 10 iurtheriug, be c2.
pressed that contempt by laughing, in hls
clustering wa7, at the very idea of the democrats
taking up arms. We sincerely hope and trust
that this policy, whioh has had such disastrous
effects 10 the past. will now be changed, and,
if it be, experience aod history both Teach us
that beneficial results will follow.

Mr.. Hayes is to be a conservative president,
and eschew the influence OF the more ultra
members Of his party-so some OF bis friends
say-and yet he had to have a private inter-
view with Senator Morton, when the latter was
on his way to Indiana to organize aud arm the
radical clubs Of that State. Even if be wanted
to cut loose from those who helped him most,
which we doubt, it would be impossible for
him to Do SO.

BULLDoZING EXTRAORDINARY N WAR.
RENToN.--On Saturday afternoon Virgil Blue
came TO town With Il fifty cent load Of wood
drawn by q sGlali harry-dick bull, about four
hands high, harnes5ed within shafts. Leaving
his bulIship 10 front Of I[iIloary's store, he
stepped in to make SOME purchases. Ia a mo.
uent after the bull resolved himself into a re-
turning board and started Tor home. The first
obstacle 10 his path vas u horse and buggy,
under which he rushed, tossing both into the air
and placing them completely hors du combat.
He then made frantically across the street, and
the cart wheel striking the tree box 10 front Of
the clerk Office, he went to grass. Diseugag-
ing the wheel from the tree box, lie went down
the Alexandria Turnpike at two-forty, with one
Of his hind legs hitched over the front OF the
cart. The cnterprisipg Town Sergeant called
on the posse comitatus to pursue him, and the
bull vas oye:taken and brought back, about
seven negroes holding on to each horn. Being
brought before the recorder, he was reprimaDd-
cd in strong terms, and assured that be would
be scut to Louisiana il such conduct was ro-
peated.

PARTISAN SERVANTS "A letter from Paris,
says a growing nuisance of French life is the
intolerable air of superiority that its servants
begin 10 assume before their masters. The
scene takes place in q restaurant where a gen
tIeman is at breakfast. The waiter is tree and
easy, not to say rude, the gentleman extremely
polite and patient. At length the waiter hay
ing spilled boatfulofsauce on the gentlemaa's
trousers the latter ventures to utter a mild pro
test, to which the waiter rejoips with a storm
of iuvectives. "Do not be too proud, waiter"
observes the victim mildly. "You can never
tell what tho future may have in store for you.
Some day you, too, may be q customer"
About this time, indeed. walters begin to be
civil to customers, and servants occasionally re-
member that their masters rooms want sweet
ing out, for are We not within two weeks of
New Years Day, when little attentions during
the preceding twelve months are paid for 10
hard cash? Old-fashioned folk love to attribute
the habitual i~nsolence of servants TO the demo-
ralizing effect of republican institutions, but it
was quite as noticeable 10 the latter years of
the Empire. Similar indications of q social
revolution were noticed by writer's 10 the silver
age of Roman literature and manners, from
coincidence anybody is at liberty to draw
differences as to him may seem good.
