The ac isa high specimen of tho genius for calmny by which the nroBOtit management of that journal makes all tho formel achievements of tho raco, in the same line, simply contemptible. The attompt Is belittle him. Ho is, however, undeniably of tho most remarkable men iu this very r able conjunction of men, and well able, appar ently, in his own native strength, to cope with the strongest and best trained of them all He is a tall, strongly-built Roman Emperor I tliink the going to do yesterday's Trib rornark , with a head fit for a MORT MAHCULI I . It matches well in size the colossal heads of tho parties to tho suit, while contrast ing strongly with both of them by its command ing masculinity. The nose is of the most prom Romau typo,angular,not curved or hooked, «I tho strength of tho massive jaw and chin is entirely disclosed by tho razor, but the character of the mouth is concealed by an enormous and swooping moustache. To have this man's picture, however, you must consider his big head further enlarged by a thick intractable shock of hair, of peculiar dark sorrel shade, or yellowish brown which ha» idontly boon given up by tlio harbors. It is a Load of hair that would drive any barber mad, that no wife would venture to oomh with a three-legged Btool. a very special souso that of a gentleman; faultlessly elegant, yet without the »test suggestion of a fashion plate or of a tailor. His manners are of the same type; abso lutely at ease and freo iu posture, movement and speech. His voice is very strong and masculine, yet not harsh; his language and pronunciation :hosoof well educated society, not of a finical school. Ills absolute self-possession bespeaks tho perfection of clear head, strong will, and night forward meaning. Now, if all along, about Boochor, what a dramatic he must bo to have would h the story inferior. I have tell-. Shakspc throughout, suspended my along, upon the result of Moulton's iiiatiou. It would be premature to foreshadow that result mow. Rut perhaps it i prepare myself and you for it by confessing that the prospect is disheartening. If I Evarta, with all his powers, I should struggle.

But himself, it sooms at present Evarts might as woll dash against the tbwor of tlio Brooklyn bridge. Wo shall I suppose it is weil understood, however, that tho cbiof reliance of tho defence is on the four «f lying that Moulton professoa to have done for Mr. Bocehor's protection.

[Special Dispatch to the New York Time«.] Washington, Jan. 17. Vice President Wilson has written a letter to the Springfield IlequbUcan in reply to a paragraph recently printed iu that paper alleging that the Vioe President behoved that the Republican Par ty is dead. Mr. Wilson disclaims Buch belief. He expresses tho conviction that the Republican party is not dead, and has not heeu hopelessly defeated. It possesses all the ele ments of strength it * proper management will achieve in the future tho same victories it acliieved in tho post. If it dies, it will ho by suicide, aud not from incura ble disease or the blows of its political oppo nents. He believes all that is needed to give It strength and renewed popular confidence is the adoption of a wise and magnanimous national policy. The men who separated from it in 1872, aud supported Horace Greeley, should he invited back to tho fold aud their error freely forgiven. Ho has no faith in the discipline that inflicts pains aud penalties upon men who may differ from those with whom they once acted, and be lieves the time is opportune for bringing within (ho organization of the Republican Party those who were led away iu 1872, aud whoso natural feelings and sympathies are with that party. He a liberal and magnanimous policy should ho pursued in dealing with the South, efforts di rected to ameliorate the condition of the people of that section, aud such legislation adopted will terminate all strife and enable them to go forward in rebuilding their shattered fortunes. There believ many good aud patriotic every State of the South, and these might be brought to tho Republicau Party by pursuing a firm but generous policy. Such a policy, he thinks, is dictated by justice and demanded by considerations of prudence. If it is adopted ho doubt whatever of the future useful d success of the Republican Party.
