As MIGHT have been expected, the New
York Nationals in convention assembled,
at Syracuse, began their deliberations with
a quarrel, which resulted in split and the
secession of a considerable number of dele
gates, who organized an opposition con-
vention. This division in their ranks was
due to the absence of distinctive purpose in
the organization. They met, they knew
not why, but simply inspired by discon-
tented feeling toward the two rcgnant po-
ltical parties of the country. They had
much difficulty in reaching Syracuse, for
the majority of them were so poor in this
worlds goods as not to be able to pay car
fare, and subscriptions were raised in New
York to help them of. How they will get
away when their so-called deliberations shall
have ended is question closely connected
with the subject of the increase of tramps
in that section of the country.

informed man In his command as to the enemy.
Then ho had that magnetic quality Of sway
ing men which wish had-a rare quality
in a general. I don't think any one can give
Sheridan too high praise. When | made him

Why not Thomas or Meado2 have the ut

II was very fond Of MacPhcrson," said tho
General, and his death was great affection.
Ho waj on my stat, and there I learned his
merit He would have come out Of the war,
had he lived, with the highest rank. Meade
was fine soldier and loyal, good man. lie
has been criticised for not having destroyed
Ice after Gettysburg, and the country seemed
to share that disappointment after the battle.
| have never thought II q fair criticism.
Meade was new to his army, and did not feel
II In his hand. If he could have fought Lee
six months later when he had the army In his
hand, or " Sherman or Sheridan had COM
manded at Gettysburg, think Lee would have
been destroyed.
Hancock is a fine soldier. At the time he
was named Major-General we were not very
good fsiends, aud | had personal preferences
for Schofcld but felt Hancock had earned
the promotion and gave his name to Stanton.
He wrote me beautiful letter on the subject,
and our relations have always remained on tho
most cordial footing ] have great respect for
Hancock rs q man and soldier. Young Mao
kenzie at the close Of the war was a most PROM
isng soldier. He Ia an officer, think, fitted
for the highest commands"
ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON AND JOSEPH "
JOHNSTON.
An allusion was made by your correspond
ent TO Albert Sidney Johnston, and the Gen.
eral said II knew Albert Sidney Johnston
before the war. When he was sent to Utah
had high opinion Of his talents. When the
war broke out ho was regarded as the coming
man Of the Confederacy. I shared that
opinion.
Bragg had great reputation In tho South.
| Bragg was tho most contentious Of men, and
there was . story in Mexico that he put every
one In arrest under him and then put himself
In arrest. Albert Sidney Johnston might have
risen in fame, and we all had confidence In
his doing 50, but he died too soon. The South
ern army had many good generals. Lee, Of
course was good soldier, and so was Long
street, but do not know that there was any
bettcr than Joe Johnston. Take 1t all In all,
the South, in my opinion, had no better soldier
than Joe John t,n-none, at least, that gave

THE organization of the Republican
party in the Southern States is worth pre-
serving for many reasons; but mainly be-
cause Southern Republicanism most en-
phatically symbolizes the inspirations which
led to the adoption of the war amendments
to the Constitution and the enactment Of
the reconstruction acts. If, as class, the
Southern Republicans are able to do moth.

appears that the Greenback and Labor Re-

THE Baltimore Gazette, in lapse of
political sobriety, blundered into an un-
favorable criticism upon the speech of
President DAVIS few days ago. Ever
since then tho editor has been called upon
to explain that his criticism was simply in
the political capital the Republicans are
making In the North out Of that speech.
But this does not satisfy his rebel-sympa-
thizing readers. They haul him over the
Goals for abusing their typical patriot,
and he replies by quoting from Northern
journals to show that his accidental posi-
tion is sustained by practical results In
great agony Of spirit, and useless endeavor
to appease his complaining readers, he
says:
from this irritation that we have counseled
Mr.. DAVIS to occupy grand and enviable
position on the high, back seats. For doing
this some able people would have us drawn.
and quartered as an enemy Of the South.
That's it, exactly. Even the Copperhead
utterances of the Gazette are not bitter
enough to satisfy the reasonable cravings
of the average Southern fire-eater for adula-
tion of the Lost Cause and its heroes. If the
Gazette would hoist the name of JEFF
DAVIS at Its masthead rs its candidate fol
President in 1880, its present troubles
would come TO an end. There is enough

THE suburbs, immediate and remote, of

of these cities are properly described by
that phrase. Alexandria, II is true, is not
so Lively as it was during and before the
war, but 1t is growing city notwitbstand-
ing, while Georgetown, the head Of naviga-
ton on the Potomac is rapidly becoming a
great business centre. 1t has, in a measure,
robbed Alexandria Of some of its dntc-beiium

York and other coastwise points, is con-
