- Writing to the Cincinnati Commercial,
from Louisville, H. V. Red6eld makes the
following allusion to Hampton: 49,
"The lion among the Governors in Louis.
Vile is Hampton of South Carolina, who re-
ceives the NEST enthusiastic applause whenev.
er he opens his mouth in public. The tenor
of his speeches aud private conversations is
all in favor of reconciliation, brotherly love
and restoration of confidence between the
North and South. I have heard it suggested
more than once to-day, that Hayes and Hamp.
ton would make a Presidential ticket which
would sweep the whole country"
An English View.
The London Times, editorially com.
menting on President Hayes tour through a
portion of the Western and Southern States,
says:
"In little more than half year, the Presi.

of conflicting passions. The visible triumph
of his policy is now being assured. He has

have no desire to disturb the great achieve

The removal of the objects of contention
makes it easy to resstablish friendly relations
between people who respect each other, and
the sympathetic meeting of the President and
General Hampton is an omen of the coming

Judge Mackey at Laurensvllls.
"A correspondent of the Columbia Reg
lister, writing from Laurensville, gives the fol-
lowing account of Judge Mackey's method
of dispatching business on the sessions dock
ct, in cases where the accused are unable to
employ counsel. We would add that Judge
Mackey adopted the same course in similar
cases the last term he presided at this place !:
His Honor has effected great saving of
time in two particulars, viz: He does not
arraign prisoners charged with ofenses less
than capital, nor does he assign counsel in
such cases. He himself represents the pris-
oner in such cases, 80 far as to ensure fair
trial. He holds that he has no right to as.
sign counsel to defend prisoners charged with
anything less than capital punishment, unless
the counsel could be paid by the public. He
stated it as remarkable fact that the Gen.
eral Assembly, though petitioned to that ef
feet, every session from 1868 up to 1861,
and thoug gh avowing special championship Of
the poor and the laboring classes, had uniform

sel fees to such as We're too poor to provide
themselves with counsel. The Judges policy
works wonderful saving in the time of the
court.
The Army Of Northern Virginia.
- The following tribute to the Army Of
Northern Virginia is from the pen of the GAL
liant Gen. Harry Heth, in his contributions to
the Philadelphia Times:
Consider what the army of Northern Vir-
yinia had in one year accomplished. In 1862,
$4,000 strong, it attacked the Federal army
100000 strong, and after seven days fighting
drove that army to shelter under its gunboats
Following up this success, after series Of en-

mac. Then followed the battle ofShsrpsburg
(Autietam,) when possibly the fighting Ca
pacity of the army Of Northern Virginia new
er shone brighter. Its numbers reduced BY
fighting, fatigue and hard marching, to less
than 10000 strong, it gained drawn battle
against it's adversary, who numbered about
100000 men. Then came Fredericksburg,
where, with its ranks recuperated to $4,000, it
hurled across the Rsppahannock river an ad-
versary who had crossed with 10000. Then
follows that most daring and wonderful battle,
Chancellorsville, where it again triumphed,
$4,000 strong, against its adversary, number
ing $4,000, compelling him again to seek
shelter behind the Rappahannock. After
such series of successes, with such disparity
Of numbers, is it wonderful that the army of
Northern Virginia and its great leader should
have believed it capable of accomplishing
anything in the power Of an army to &C.

One of Chanberlain's Letters.
- While Chamberlain seems to content
himself by denying the allegations contained
in Parkers confession-pubished last week.
the public will conclude that something more
than mere denial is necessary to clear his
skirts of the crime and corruption laid at his
door. To prove the ex.Governor's sincerity,
let him demand an investigation, and if he
is declared innocent, he will only appear more
pure by his subjection to the furnace. The
letter written to Kimpton by Cham
berlain, while Attorney General, in January,
1870, would seem to convey proofs at consid'
ersble variance with his oft-repeated assever.

"MY DEAR KIMPToN Parker arrived last

$3.50 900 worth of the G.. & G. stock. This,
