He who meyer relaxes into sport
iveness is a wearisome companion
but beware of him who jests at eve
rything! Such men disparage, by
some ludicrous association, all OBJ
jects which are presented to their
thoughts, and thereby render them
selves incapable of any emotion
which can either elevate or soften
them; they bring upon their moral

That .Hayes-aIackey Interview
Again.
N. Y. Herald Special


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The visit
OF Judge Mackey to Governor Hayes
as an an ambassador from General
Hampton. gives a good deal Of I'M
easiness and annoyance to promi-
nent Republicans here. 1t seems
to confirm the rumors which have
long prevailed that Mr.. Hayes was
favorably inclined to ward leading
and influential Southern men, and
this suspicion is very irritating to
sone Northern as we'll as most
Southern Republicans. There are
Northern Senators and members who
have said they would prefer to see
Tilden President rather than Hayes
with such policy. The Hayes
Mackey interview is peculiarly iris
tating TO many Southern Republi-
cans here who are alarmed for their
officers and political predominance
In case Governor Hayes should Sc
lect his appointees from native
Southern men. Some of these Re-
publicans holding local Federal off,
ces in Southern States already de-
clare that, under such a policy, they
will return to the North. Unless
they can have Federal patronage
thew do not care to live in South
ern State. This class will endeavor
to intimidate Mr., Hayes, If they
become persued that he really thinks
Of leaving them out. and they are
certain to bring all the influence they
have TO bear upon leading Republic
cans here 10 prevent Mr. Hayes
adopting such policy. IN looks
for the moment as though the strng-
gle for the Federal Offices Ia the
Southern States might form an i'm

question. Tie Southern Republi-

From this table, it will seen, that the total
number of troops serving at different times in the
Union army during the late war was two million
six hundred and ninety thousand four hundred
and one. This includes those men who served
for three, six, and nine months, and those who
enlisted for two or three years, or the war.
Thus, for the purpose of calculation, it is estl-
mated, that from April, 1861, to April, 1865, a
period of four years, two million forty-two thou
sand one hundred and fifty men were called to
serve three years. AS some enlisted early and
others towards the close Of the war, the question
arises: How many enlisted men actually served
three years? 1t is the opinion OF prominent
army officers that not less than one half of the
entire army served for this length of time and
they give, as the average force of the army, from
the beginning to the end of the war, one million
