~FOREIGN_A.FFAIRS. ~
Our relations with fi reign powers have a
warlike look. Tlie rejection, by the Senate,
of the protocol, arranged between the British
Mitvster and that ffarrulous -old gentleman.
Herer.lv Johnson, has einbnrrased the Ala
bama claims tr>4=nch an extent that a settle
ment-seems as far off .as ever. Sumner. the
Foreign Ilt-lations chairman of the Senate,
lias shown hints. If infinitely more anxious to
resent n supposed effront to I lie national honor,
than he ever was to protect himself from the
m-'it posMve in?n't. or his own person from
the merited chastisement inflicted upon it;
Chandler, of Michigan. th;?t prince of whis
key drinkers and lond-nionthed ranters, has
grown so furious i-i his passion over the suc
cess of the Confederate Semmes, that he
wants the Unite I ?t ite? to take its c>af off
ami walk right into the beef-enters?indeed
he is so wralliy that he wants leave to arm
the Mielitgatidnrs. and nobody else, to go
over and drive John I'uil out of hi- barley
patch-a in Cana.li; and ev?n General Grant
appear-* w?ll'n_r to put his armour on and find
?out some new line on which "to fi^ht it out
ail summer." The face of affairs on the
Cuban question has also quite an unpleasant
look upon it-; and if our loggerbends in that
quarter should set to actual blows, there is
no telling where they will stop, or what'pco
pies won't get mixed up in the melee.
This may be very amusing to the politicians
at Washington, who won't have to fiL'ht. but
to the mass of the people, who will have to
burn the piw ler and piv the costs, it will be a
serious matter. One would suppose that ? the
great Rebellion" had given us enough of the
ball and bayonet to last at least till the wnv of
paying its cost in coin was clearly seen, and
its loss in human blood had ceased to be wept
over. Hut these bellicose yentleuien down at
W ashington, having so much official corrup
tion to hide from the public eye. are willing
to do ?im thing, sate the hareingnf their own
breasts to the foe. to conceal their partv mis
deeds. We who live here at the South may
be gainers by u war. If Grant and Gladstone
really "get at it." the former will Deed all the
material in men and means that he can com
maud, and he may c.ill'the "erring sisters"
back into the Uttion upon such liberal terms
us wiil induce the "tclicJ clement" tn fi
under the -^-ir> .-md s'ripe.- with an ardor some
what akin to that which distinguished it tvliile
it was arrayed under the Confederate banners ;
at any rate, during the war the Government
cou.d Djt afford to keep i>*) its military estab
lishments in the Southern Districts, and I ho
State governments would naturally fall into
the hands of honest men, and reconstruction
would happen without the aid of Congress
in time of war we could prepare for peace.
OUR RECENT CIRCUIT COURT AND
THE NEW JUDGE.
The political misdoings of Joseph A. Chap
line, before his elevation to the bench, have
been frequently and severely commented upon
by this pap.-r. As a politician his course had
been such as evinced a furious, fanatical haired
of all who were not -loyal" like himself so
that we were exceedingly doubtful whefher
he could wear the ermine with any thing liko
clean hands, and when his name wassuguested
as the probable successor ,f Judge Hall, we

THE VIEjINIA CONSERVATIVES.
The Virginia Stare Conservative Con voli

the Conservative voters to unite for the defeat

RAGE FOB OFFICE.
A correspondent oi a western paper has
recently had an interview with Senator Trum
bull, of Illinois^ who seems to have gloomy
forebodings for the future it the rage for
office, so prevalent at the present day, is not
in sonio way checked. The following is the
subslauce of the interview :
I was speaking to the distinguished Sena
tor from Illinois, one day-of this week, upon
the moral effect of Upsetting all the desks of
office every four years
'?We shall he broken up," said Senator
Trumbull, "unlets some administration will
bet thj example, or some legislation will com
pel it, of making the price of office good be
havior only. The scenes and the scramble of
the last month have been disgraceful, as you
know. Hut you do not probably know the ef
fect of the periodical rotation upon Congress
For example 1 waul the Secretary of the
Treasury to give my man au office. I go up
j to the Department aud wait there fur an au
d euce, long or short as the case may be.?
Tiie Secretary speaks encouragingly. Next
day I go "p again, aud he is not quite so san
guine. it is by .1 his steady persistence that
, oiBycs are obtained here. Not merit, nor re
comiueudation, nor impulse, but ding dunging
obtains offices. Well, the Secretary has a
financial policy, perhaps. How can I, as a
Senator, speak independently of his policy
while my tnaii is in a slate of suspense.
Thu? the executive p.irt of the Government
paralyzes in a great decree the legislators in
dependence. We must reform this altogether,
or iho political state of the couutry will bo
degraded be}ond recovery."
I asked the Senator if he was kept very
busily employed in legislative business?
??yes." lie answered ; ''the duties of a Sen
ator are extremely onerous. VY e used to ad
journ from Thursday until Monday and get
through all business promptly enough. Then
the better social enjoyments were available to
u-. and we had leisure for reading, conversa
tion mid thought. So manifold have the
functions of the central Government become
that all our time is occupied uow. Thous
ands of things which were formerly disposed
of io the Stares or in the Executive Depart
ment come up to Congress now. By Satur
day night I am very weary."
WHF'H DOYOU MEAN?
In the last number of the Winchester
Timrs. we fi'id in the editorial column a most
gallant, defence of the Northern Democracy.
To show the tenor of this well written article,
we make the followiug extract :
'?We regret to see that the Richmond JVhii/
and other journals, with whom we frequently
concur, deem it necessary to denounce our
Northern Democratic friends. [t is folly, it
is worse than folly, it is criminal. That grand
old organization failed to break dnwn the re
construction Ihws and is still struggling to
ameliorate them. it. doss not necessarily fol
low that the failure of a high endeavor should
be visited with ridicule-or grave censure."
That is admirably said, and is to some cx?
fciir-just. But what are we to think of the
following, which appears as original in another
column of the same paper :
??Some good people hereabouts still seem
to look to the Democracy of the North for
help ! This would be amusing, if it was not
extremely ridiculous. We must act without
any reference to any such an organization as
the Northern Democracy, for it is both weak
aud treacherous."
Which do you mean, gentlemen of the
7imes ? Which iscarnest, and which is fun '(
These two paragraphs sound strangely as com
ing froni tho same paper.
JSGy Tho New York Sun, original Grant
paper, continues a raking fire 011 the President
personally, taking exception especially to his
having "installed among his constitutional
advisers individuals who were chiefly distin
guished for having conferred upon him costly
a id valuable benefactions." The Sun goes
ou to specify, and says :
"Not to go back to Jefferson, or Adams, or
JicksoH, lor virtuous examples, even Andy
Joiiugon hud sense ami decency enough to
refuse the present ol a carriage and horses
with the presidential oath lingering on his
hps. i^uoli evil practices of men in high
place, whose p.?.-t achievements hav* dazzled
the popular imagination, tend to demoralize
the "ubiic service and debauch public opinion.
Ostentatious displays and profligate expen
ditures come he regarded as necessary
concomitants of official station, ami it is ictt
ihat the main object, of uffice is not to dis
charge one's duties to the country, hut to
ihereby attain sudden riches and indulge
in a siioduy magnificence. Tho natural re
suit of all this must inevitably be that cor
ruption and venality will walk uuabashpd and
almost uurebuked through) every department
of the government."
Rpi-ujii.ican Dissatisfaction ?Nam
bers of* tlie republican journals have manifest
ed dissatisfaction ar tlie character of General
Grant's leading appointments. They continue
to grumble. with reference especially to the
foreign missions. The New York Ti'mex says:
??These appointments have heen too gen
erally treated as coin for the payment of per
sonal or political obligations, anil evince no
very thorough knowledge of the qualifications
roqti'red for eff.-ntive service in the foreign
field. The assignment is conspicuously the.
iror/s of " wmi vcw to fjii* ttjirriirf ifrn/jr/wnl
? of one ele-irlv not familiar with what is
wanted, or with the way to pet it."
Onn Fellows Fiftieth Anniversary.
? Monday las'. 2Gih April, was celebrated
throughout the United States as the fiftieth
anniversary of Odd Fellowship. The prin
cipal demonstation took place in Philadelphia,
where upwards of 30.000 members of the
Order marched in procession, and James
L.-llidgley. Past Grand Master of Maryland
end Orand Seoretarv of the Grand Lodge of
the United States, delivered 'he oration. A
?-?ivinil hall at night concluded the celebration.
Tha dav was observed in ne ir'y all the cities
of the Union by those unable to get to Phila
delphia.
fi?5~ Grant nominated and the Senate con
tinued Ferdinand Coxe. a member of the
Philadelphia Loyal League, as Consul to Leg
horn. The day after his confirmation he was
caught stealing in Philadelphia. He lias con
fessed that he has carried on the stealing bus
iness a long time. Stupid fellow ! Why didn't
he steal from the government and call it pa
triotism ? Plenty of his fellow Leaguers
have got rich a")d gained credit in that way.
In Xew York. George Palton, of the
firm of Foaring & Dalton, brokers, blew his
brains out iu hi? carriage on 17th ult., while
going up Broadway to his home. He had
been speculating.
The Republican Party?Has it a Future?
A Democratic party has existed in this coun
try since the olose of the rcTolationary war j 1
and" it is a singular fact, worthy of the serious
consideration of Republicans, that the opposi
tion to that party has changed its name, its
principled, and its leaders about every eighteen
years ffince our independence was achieved.
Washington and Adams letf a conservative
opposition to the Democratic idea, as expound
ed by Jefferson, from the termination of the
revolutionary struggle down to the defeat of
Adams in 1800. Then the opposition assumed
the name of Federalists, and. nnderthe guid
ance first of Alexander (J imilton and then of
Iiutus King, resisted the Democracy till the
final overthrow of the Federal party in 1818.
The opposition then chaDged their front,
modified their doctrines, and discarded their
name, and, under the leadership of John
Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, were called
national Republicans for about eighteen years,
when, having been pr.Htrated by the party
which rallied around the standard of Jackson,
I hoy reorganized under the name of Whigs,
and followed the lead and shared the fortunes
! "f Clay and Webster for eighteen or twenty
I years thereafter. In 1854. having lost hope
! and courage, and having dropped into a power
| less minori'y, the opponents of the Democ
j racy, taking advantage of the vicious position
I which that omauization hail as-umed on the
! subject of slavery, formed the Republican
: party, and. following the banner first of Seward
; and then ot Lincoln, became the dominating
j power in the country through the secession of
j the Southern Stares, which had previously
j been the strongholds of the Democratic party.
The Republican party has had a stormy exist
ence. It was created to prevent the extensiou
of slavery. The rebellion of the slavcholding
States gave.it an opportunity to strike at the
existence of an institution which had aimed
to give law to the entire Union. Slavery was
whelmed in the convulsions of the late civil
j war. The follies and perversities of Andrew
j Johnson enabled the Radical wing of the Re
j publicans to carry their ideas of political
| equality to the extreme, and ere the next meet
i ing of Congress the riuht of every man t.> wield
; the ballot, irrespective of color, clime, creed,
I or condition, will becomo an irrepealablc pro
: vision >if the Constitution. The great and
glorious mission of the Republican party will
then have been fulfilled.
. Now, remembering these historic cycles
which have constituted the lifetime of the
various parties that at different periods of our
national career have stood in opposition to tho
Democracy, it is a fact worthy of considera
tion that tho Republican organization will
have existed exactly eighteen years on the
occurrence of the next Presidential election.
It would be in accordance with all the pre
cedents if in the eontcst of 1872 the opposi
tion to the long-lived Democracy should then
suffer a signal defeat, and immediately after
ward change its nnme. its principles, and its
? leaders. In view of the one idea on which
the Republican party was organized, tho in
congruous materials in respect to other ideas
of which it is composed, and the complete
fulfilment of its appropriate work, it would
not bo surprising if it thin full..*?..) ih? fatn
of its predecessors and passed in'o history.
This, however, will lirgely depend upon the"
wisdom, the liberality, the common r-ense. and
progressive ideas of the leaders of the Demo
cratic party. Their folly has already confirm
ed the power of their antagonists ; and it is
possible that it may do so yet. ai:ain

ed names and their compccrs in the House. I
and their present successors. The decay of I
popular institutions, under the Imperialist
idea, is well exhibited by the contrast. The

A Little Strange.
We regard the following as containing some
statements that sound somewhat singular. It
is the first intimation we have ever seen pub
lished, of any such propositions as are here
stated to have been made to the officials of
the late Confederacy. And jet there seems
to be some foundation for -tho story. It is
brought out by a correspondent of the Wheel
ing Register, who writes from Roanoke coun
ty, Va. FTe tells the story in the following
plausible style;
"While in Marion. Smyth county, a few
days ago, I had the pleasure of several lengthy
chats with lion. Fayette McMullin. Mr.
McMullin says that since the war he was one
day in the President's house, in Washington,
conversing with Hon. F. P. Blair, senior.?
Mr. Blair told him that soon after McMullin's
'?peace resolutions" had been introduced into
the Confederate Congress, Mr Lincoln, being
extremely anxious to bring about a peace hon
orable alike to both sections of the country,
and foreseeing and wishing to avoid the po
litical consequences of the military subjuga
tion or the South, sent him (Mr. Blair) "to
Richmond to confer with Mr. Davis and learn
what arrangements of the difficulties could bo
made. He was passed through the lines of
the contending armies and conducted to Mr.
Davis's house in Richmond. Afier a long
conversation with Mr. Davis and other prom
inent. gentlemen for whom Mr. Davis sent,
and lor whom Mr. Blair inquired, Mr. Davis
said he had no proposition to make. Mr.
Blair then proposed that Gen. Lee's army be
marched into Mexico against the French ;
that General Grant would follow and support
the movement ; t'-at the united armies would
drive out Maximilian ; and then the Southern
States should name their own terms of recon
srruetion.everything short ofindependence be
ing guaranteed. At Mr. Davis's request this
proposition was made in writing, and after
some consultation and reflection, was signed
and accepted by him Mr Blair returned to
Washington, and Mr. Lincoln was highly de
lighted^ with the success of the negotiation.
It was in the hope of consummating this ar
rangement that Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward
met the "peace commissioners," Hons. Ste
phens, Hunter and Campbell, at Fortress Mon
roe ; hut there, to Mr. Lincoln's chagrin, the
committee declared that they had been in
structed by Mr. Davis to insist upon the in
dependence of the South, and would listen to
no other proposal. And thus the whole af
fair came to a "'most lame and impotent con
clusion."
Sueh is the substance of tho account rela
ted to Governor McMullin by Mr. Blair ?
Mr McMullin says that he asked and obtained
Mr. Blair's permission to make the statement
public, but ho had refrained from giving it
publicity pending Mr. Davis's trial, fearing
least it might in some way prejudice his case!
