Blair, in a speech rc- j cently delivered, at Rolla, Mo., muk?s . a violent attack upon Stanton and ! Holt in drawing a parallel between j the conduct of those functionaries ! and that of Stephens immediately j preceding the war. His remarks aro ? severe and hitter, but nevertheless ; true. Now, in the beginning, before tho j war broke out, while orators like , Drake were exciting young mon to ? take up arms, and wore "tiring the i Southern heart" with anger against j the North and tho Union, the Go- ] vernment of tho United States, with Mr. Buchanan at its hoad and Stanton and Joe Holt in his Cabinet, allowed thc rebellion to go on and allowed the forts to be captured. When Stanton went into the Cabinet of Buchanan, ho declared he couldjnot coerce the South. Gen. Cass, who was previously a member of Bucha? nan's Cabinet, ofFered a resolution which, it was understood, and so claimed by Mr. Cass' friends at the time, declared that it was the duty of j tho Administration to maintain the j law and defend the public property of Fort Sumter and other forts. Bu- I cha?an declined to do it. and Guss went out and Stanton went in. [A ! voice-"That'strue."] True as Holy j Writ. He went in to uphold and 1 maintain tho policy of Mr. Buchanan I against the right of the General Go- ; vernment to coerce a State, and defend , its property and its citizens. Well, now, my fellow-citizens, when Mr. Stanton, who is at present a \ member of this Administration, and a ? radical-lie is a radical that would delight even the heart of Mr. Drake [knight' r]-when he was in this Cabinet, lu- was content to maintain Buchanan's policy. Alexander Ste? phens is an awful, notorious rebel, but he had not been quite convinced then, and lu; stood up in Iiis own : State of Georgia, and ir. the conven? tion ot' that State delivered a speech in favor of the Union, such as has not ' been delivered before or since tho war, for eloquence, point, and sound ! and substantial argument. But Stan ton and Buchanan would not, help Stephens against these men down in ! Georgia, who had been furnished with I arms out of tho public arsenals by ono of Buchanan's Cabinet to coerce , them, and the State went out of the Union, and tho Union mon wore left ' to themselves. Thc United States Government armed the rebels-be- ' cause you know very well they had at that time seized almost every one of the -arsenals in the Southern States, und armed themselves with guns that had been placed there, at their disposal, by Floyd, of Mr. Bu- j chanan's Cabinet. Now, just look at it. Our own Go? vernment anning rebels to put down the Union men in the South, and the Union men in the State of Georgia, led by this feeble man Stephens feeble physically-a mere .skeleton, an atom-stood there unarmed defend? ing his Government, wher. Iiis Go? vernment liad turned against him and armed Iiis enemies to put him down. Shall wc take Iiis head off, or take Stanton's: Which would be just re? tribution before tin throne of high Heaven? That Stallion should be permitted the honor, <>r that Stephens should be incarcerated ia Foti War? re;:, ami Lei Stanton turn the kevon him? You eau Ulalie Stephens the pris ?ncr; you "can make Stanton tin jailor: bul iii the eye of ll -aven, and before this nation, thc traitor was on the outside of the door -[applause! and thc true man was in. Ho did what lie could. Stil! Iiis Government abandoned him; he did not abandon his Government. Well, I .should like t<' see any court in the world convict him of treason. How could he be convicted of treason ? Don't you know that the relation of a Govern? ment to its people is reciprocated, and while a citizen owes allegiance, thc Government owes protection? If the Government withdraws its protection absolutely, and arms thc foe against its citizens, what title have thevtb thc allegiance of that citizen? Kb title that would authorize them to punish bim. There is no court, and no fair minded jury, under the sun, that could find him guilty. I have cited this individual ease as a type of many. TUE DISTRICT COTJBXS.-Noticing the establisment of District Courts in this State, to facilitate cases in which colored persons arc interested, is thus spoken of by the New York Thurs: Thc idea ol" establishing such a measure is a good ono, and wo can? not doubt that, under this system, the blacks will bc allowed to give their testimony before thc courts of justice. Thc necessity for such a measure arises from the fact that thc present laws of the State relating to negroes are all based on the doctrines of shivery, and still more from the pecu? liar circumstances and antecedents ol the great body of thc negroes. For example, the laws made for thc whites, in regard to thc marriage and family relations, their duties and re? sponsibilities, cannot at once in theil entirety, bc applied to thc blacks, for the reason that the marriage and family relations of the latter have heretofore been, and still are, in th( greatest uncertainty and confusion So with the laws relating to thei: holding of property and many othe: laws. We hope to see a code bearing upon all these matters, of such justice and humanity, established in Soutl Carolina, ns to bc a model for all th' other States of thc South. Dr. Jordon, editor of the Indian apolis Gazelle, who was one of th most successful physicians in Chichi nati, in 1849, in thc treatment of ci?? iera, speaks as follows, in his journal in reference to that terrible plague : li In all probability it (the cholers will be herc next year, and it may b carly in the spring or summer. W have had some experience in the trea mont of this dreadful disease, in 184'. in Cincinnati, as some of our readci will probably recollect, and wc foun one article of very great importan*. -that of prickly ash berries. W< therefore, advise druggists over; where to secure as many of these be rios as they can, or at least a reason; ble quantity. This can bc done 1 letting thc country people kuo about it, and they will gather thor Should the cholera come we shall cc tainly want some of those berries. - As to the manner of using them, will be time enough to speak of th hereafter." Some of the features of the Pai exhibition of 18G7 is thus notice The park which will surround tl exhibition is to be laid out in tl English style, and will contain ? international theatre, and a lav where the gaines of all nations will played. There will also be :i lectu room, with a laboratory, for thc u of any foreign savant who may hu .i new theory to propose.

EXIT OF PAYMASTERS-STNGULAJR ALTERNATIVE.-The Richmond cor? respondent of the New York Herald says : In the case of Colonel Amos Binney, paymaster of the United States volun? teers, against whom serious charges were instituted some weeks since, has been granted the alternative, by Pay? master-General Brice, of restoring to the Government the funds now al leged to be unlawfully in his posses? sion, and being honorably discharged from the service, or to appear before a court-martial and take the chances of a trial and dishonorable dismissal. It is understood that Colonel Binney has not decided which course to pur? sue, while the Paymaster-General in? sists upon one or thc other. The seventeen paymasters implicated with him ure all out of the service. MORE CHANGES.-"We learn that Gen. Beal is to be relieved by Brevet Brig. Gen. Richardson, of the 25th Ohio Veteran Vols. We regret pai-ting with an officer who has been so long connected with the military manage? ment of our District, and hoped, so long as? AVC vfere-to have a garrison, Ire might reninin with us. He has, how? ever, our best wishes in whatever sphere of action he may be called. In a private letter from a most creditable source, we read that Gen. Grant has ordered all the voluneteer troops to be removed from the Southern States. [Darlington Southerner. i Brig. Gen. Beverly H.
