TREAsuRY DEPARTMENT, March %.
TO Hon. Jo6a II, Thompson. Hoase Of Rep
rasatCtipes
DEAR SrR-Your note Of the 9Th inst
was read this morning. | agree with you
that the article in the New York Tribune
was without truth in spirit or in form,
You did not utter the language attribut-
ed to you, and especially the last expires.
sion, could not have been used by you OF
any one without exciting my notice and
remsrk, and | know you did not utter it,
You, no doubt, were disappointed that
Colonel Sullivan was not appointed a.
Register, but in the expression OF yoar
disappointment there was nothing
unkind said, or that / regarded as 10 the
least degree unpleasant You and Gen.
White seemed 70 think l ought TO have
communicated TO you the fact that the
Office had been tendered to Scho6eld, but
do not think so. Nor would | feel At
liberty, in like circumstances before &c.
ceptance, TO communicate the tender Of
an appointment made BY me BY direction
Of the President, especially when there
was great doubt OF acceptance. In our
conversation on Monday we spoke Of
Schofeld, but you and General White
thought he would not accepL and / was
somewhat Of that opinion, and there
fore both the President and my.
self were reticent about the tender of
the Office to scho6sld, and I received
his acceptance by telegram not Eve
minutes before yon csme 10, Thursday.
The President knew nothing Of 1t, and |
told it to you FIRST ot all. TIE President
was entirely without fault in the matter,
and very properly heard you state the
claims Of Col. Sullivan, "a he had no
information of the acceptance, and |
know had great doubts Of it. II Is easy
enough to excite unkInd feelings among
gentlemen, bat in this case l agree with
you that there was none nor any occasion
for any. Very truly yours,
JoHH SHERMAN,

Russia Does Not Propose 10 be

ST. PETERSBURG, March ga cor.
respondent says that the British Cab.
inet, in demanding formal assurance
from Russia which none OF the other
Powers support, must have one Of two
aims, either to inflict formal humiliation
on Russia or to get out Of the necessity
Of attending the Congress. Iu the former
Russia cannot make any concession; in
the latter the Congress will not be held,
and Russia will endeayor TO come 10 an
arrangement With Germany and Austria.
Thus England condemns herself to isola.
ton, makes triple alliance political
necessity, and perhaps renders inevitable
that radical solution Of the Eastern ques.
tion which abe wishes to prevent.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
that there l. an excited party there who
oppose any concession 70 Austria which
may impair the treaty Of San stefano,
which Is considered spfficiently humIlia.
ting for Russia already.
Aus1RIA,s POSITION.
A Vienna correspondent telegraphs
that so long as the slightest chance re.
mains Of a real congress OF all the sigma
tory Powers, thus securing the possibili.
ty Of European settlement, Il will be
tenaciously clung TO. Here all efforts
will be concentrated in increasing these
chances, and on removing obstacles in the
way Of the congress. The Pro.Russian
party Is urging the government to accept
Bosnia, Herzegoyinia and the territory
on the Algan Sea.
Another correspondent says: A sud
den and unacconntable change in the
governments attitude is reported. It is
said that Count Andrassy has only been
feigning concurrence with the Court
party, and he is nov preparing to oppose
Russia openly with the entire Hungarian
party at his back.

Tho Election,

Tho Election.
We have thought it would bo more acceptable
to our readers to give rs much of the result of
last Tuesdays election throughout the State
than any lengthy remarks of our own upon
what has been done, even in our. own county,
and the lesson taught by the action of the pseu-
do democratic candidates opposed TO us, in pro-
claiming themselves no candidates, but telling
the radicals they would serve them if elected.
1t is q lesson of more importance to the party
and State than may at first appear.
The election was peaceable throughout the
county. We have only heard Of one fight, and
that was solely upon personal grounds, and be
tween white men.
A noteable feature at every box was the sui
len stubornncss of the negroes. They had ev-
idently been we'll drilled. They would not talk
or even drink with q democrat until after they
had voted. Many of them who had voted with
us before, voted solidly against us last Tuesday.
They had been imposed upon in some way, but
by whom it is pretty well known, and they will
be made to feel it hereafter.

TIE ELECTIVE Observation-Disclosures Oc-
tobcr 30.--publicity has already been given to
the suggestion that some day in the not remote
future The Republican party would be disposed
to take the elective franchise from the colored
people. Honest Republicans in Congress or out
of it never made any secret of the fact that the
real object of the party in comforting negro suf-
fragc was TO strengthen and perpetuatc its hold
upon the government. In this the Republicans
have been wofully disappointed. The practical
result of their efforts has been to give to their
opponents thirty-fve additional votes in the
electoral colleges and in tho House of Ropresen-
tatives. The deliberate manufacture Of whole
sale cslumnies upon the South in this and in
former campaigns sannot make solid North
although it las been carried on i'll that hope
Tie next move therefore, of the discomftted
Republicans will be to take away the boon which
they conferred upon the negro. BY adviccs re
ceived here to-day from South Carolina, it is
learned that CIV. Hawptsn. in a late speech,
pfottsTred hGvhSd been approached by promi-
nent Republicans, among them brother-in-law
of Cabinet officer, with propositions to deprive
the negro of his VOTE Such propositions were
of course Indignantly rejected by Gov. Hamp.
ten. IF Gov. Hampton consistently can do so,
he ought to give the names Of these Republicans
to the cpublic.--Baitimore San.
