THE PEOJECT FOE A NEW ELECTION IN LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLINA. Mr. Blinna is, credited .to-day with a new scheme for' muddling tho Southern question and keeping not only Louisiana and South Carolina, nut tho whole coun try in an uproar of politics for at least another few months. It is to hold new elections in the two unfortunate States. But justicowto Mr. Blaine demando that it shall bo known that that astute states man, Sonator Patterson, of Sooth Caro lina, in tho author of thia scheine. He took the trouble to lay it formally before the President' to-day, ?rid, os there waa un allusion to it in the morning and eve ning papers here, the plan has been gen erally discussed to-day. All the carpet-, baggers Uko it, mid it has the favor or all those who/ waiit.jtho?Sputhern question uiisotti?d'and'who aro at their wits' ends to d?vi?e som o way to defeat, or at least io delay, the President's purpose to settle it. Mr. Kellogg, in conversation on the sub ject to-night, said be had heard of the proposition, and if Governor Packard were allowed to manago the details it would be acceptable to tho republican party in Louisiana so faros is known. On the other hand, ali who sincerely de sire the settlement of the Southern ques tion oppose it as,a device eminently cal culated to defeat a settlement and to keep tho people of the two States and of the whole country in boc water. A prominent republican Senator said about it this evening that it was apian entirely without merit, without the least color of law, and which could not be Carried out without direct violation of the laws and constitutions of the'two States. Congress, he held, even if it were in session, would have no authority to command n new election in a State. The laws of the two States do not. authorize a new election. There is no lawful way of doing it, and if it were dono the result would not be entitled to any one's re spect, and would settle nothing. He lidded that no bargains, arrangements or investigations vyere necessary to acttlo the questions which ?disturb Louisiana and couth Carolina. The Prescient can settle it at once, he .-".id, by ordering; tho troop;; iiot to interfere, in the kcal gov? ernments. He does not need to do any thing, hut poly to eton doing-that ia all. Ho is how doing something-name ly, interfering with Cue process of local self-government in those States. He bas only to stop doing and'the Southern question disappears at once. Judge Mackey soya thia evening, con cerning the Patterson plan for a dew election, that he is authorized to speak for Governor Hampton, und to say that he would utterly refuse to agree to A new election, as not only was ho elected, but his tit?e has h< -n n,Q3vinni by tlie courts. MoreaV.arV.fln:., tteoti CQU??*:Mke. a titlo under such new- election, because tho Stats Constitution j provides for a special election only in'ono continjflency, and that is' ih crtse of a contest before the Legislature, when tho two bouses fail to come to thc saino decision. Tho State constitution having been ratified by Con gress under tho reconstruction ads, itTijis all the, force of an sci. of C?ngre5=? arid no act of tho Executive or of private parties could make A special election le gal or of binding ..force- on the citions unless held inconformity with tbe con stitution. ..Tho very first oct performed by such Lon*, i m pro vi sed i Governor would bo called in question in the courts and would result in overthrowing his title.' Tho planters and people all over the State are now engaged in: putting in .heir crops. A new election lu April or . W would disorganize tbe labor and ?wrifico tho',entire crop.,,For eight months tho people have, been subjected b> tho greatest strain. Business all over the State has been utterly paralyzed, aud industry greatly disorganized. To con tinue aria' inrirrflKo ali tho evils from I which the State has so long suffered' by j ordering a new, ejection would bo to put ^^iteruofM?uMh''-tuV''^?bple' of tho State of both colors, and no one to whom the best intcrciits of the State are dear, would even think of so disastrous a ?cuerpo. Ho adds that the persons who s?gg?dt, this scheme qt a notv, election hive no interest personal or' of property tn tho State. ' Ho desires, however, to i-nti.ir-.rr:.-r.-.t hr : limn ugo that Senator Patterson had no prop erty interests in tho State of South ?aro 1 ina, as he haa ?ince ascertained that he owns a small dunghill fowl, which he has 'Mt in charge of Mr. Baldwin, a worthy citizen of Columbia. .Senator Patterson saya thia avering h"V ?chemo of & new election has the zoop ?o? support of Mr. Blaine and of several ????cr-republican Se? s to rs Humor's aro carefully aprcud abou?. that the Resident favors it and eve? that ba is Jno inventor of it, and ?orne falso reports to thia effect hr.ve gone from here to the P***?, Mr. Patterson'* modesty leading "un to conceal his own merits as the real Inventor. /. .: ... fZ Tho Preside. haa patiently listened to j1" tlie plans which have been mbmUtrd to him hy men of nil shades of polities, ?nd ho has committed himself to none, ibo carpet-baggers have filled tho town , ?na fcehato with stories tliRt the Presi-U dent urgently desires Kollegg and Corbin io bo seated in tbo Senate, bat the Plai dent desires nothing of the kind but the reverse. They now assert that this new election scheme Se his, but it bas not even been considered by bim. It can bs said on undoubted authority to-night that the President docs view with favor oue method or settling the Southern question-namely, tbat of or dering tbo troops not to interfere in tho local governments tit South Carolins and Louisiana. TUs plan has also tbe favor of tbe most influential members of the Cabinet. It is to be that one wbich si tbo Cabinet meeting to-morrow will probably come up for discussion. The President hesitates about adopting it ta. once for only one reason. He* is tearful that if it were done there might arise I some disorderly proceedings iu Louisiana which, he apprehends, might be used by iemt^ogues in the North to inflame "r^jualce there agaiuet the conciliatory policy toward the South on wbich ho bas determined and for the success of which he is very solicitous. He bas frankly stated this fear to Southern mon with j .whom he bas conversed very freely, and he asked them to procure him guarantees and evidence which shall satisfy b^ mind that no such troubles as he fc?rs wo?ld arise, if he should withdraw the troops. Such guaran???? ho will receive ?o-morrow br si furtherest within a few days. Tbr. ctoutbevn raen with whom he has anoten are entirely satisfied with bis position, aud see that his anxiety on the snbject ts just and reasonable. Governor Nicholls has already telegraphed here to a personal friend that be is ready to guarantee absolute peace and good order, and that not a hair of Packard's or any body else's head shall be hurt if the troops are withdrawn, and he will no doubt very soon make a formal guar antee. Mr. Butler, democratic Senator from South Carolina, made uneasy by the false reports spread about to-day, that the President favored the plan of a new elec tion, called on him this evening to ask him if it was true. The President re plied tbat ouch a plau had been sugges ted to bim, but no attempt would of course be made to carry such plan into effect unless it were freely accepted by both parties. Mr. Butler assured the President that it would not receive the assent of Governor Hampton or those who support him. Senator Patterson said this evening to a Herald roporter that among those who favored bu scheme of a new election was Judgo Mackey. Judge Mackey denies this. He is, ou the contrary, entirely opposed toit; but he says that when Patterson spoke to him about it he added that if it were adopted he (Patterson) would come out for Hampton, whereupon Judge Mackey said to him : "If yon are honestly for Hampton why hold a now election ? You have him al ready." ' _ The Doctrine of Political Equality for the Negro Practically Abandoned. - -The selection and confirmation of the member*; of Mr. Hays' Cabinet are events of the greatest political signifi cance. It is the first time in the history of the country that a President, acceding to power, after an embittered partisan contest, has at once deserted his suppor ters, and gone squarely and boldly into the ranks of the opposition for one of the heads of the departments. Yet from all sides Mr. Hayes receives assurances that thiB unexampled proceeding is approved, and that it chimes in with tho popular sentiment of the hour. Why ? What produces such an anom alous condition of affaire? It all grows out of the contest of races in tho South. Sixteen years ago, when Abraham Line?lo entered upon tho duties of President, the way to tue capital waa always so environed with danger that he did not deem it prudent to travel open!; through the city of Baltimore. Swiftly followed the terrible war of the rebellion, though slowly and long it dragged out its sanguinary length. The slaveholders ul 'timately surrendered, aud nominal peace ensued. Tho blacks were not only made free, but amendments were added to thc constitution, and a series of laws w?r< ?ri?*ct?d"by ObrtgresV, 'for''their especial protection and benefit. . With only a par tial and 'embarrassed exception undoi Andrew Johnson, tho national Ch.vern ment bas since then been steadily nd ministered, in the Southern States, it harmony with the desires of tho emanci pated race, If Mr. Hayes is Presiden to-day, he is President by the uso o: black votes and by the support of thosi whose Only political strength hos arisei from their alli ance and identification witl the colored race. Yet, notwithstanding all these fact, Mi Hayes, at the very beginning of his ad ministration, doo three things whicl write the word White nil over his policy and indicate that ho intends to erase tb word Black, forever, as a potent influcne in our national politics. I. He docs not appoint, any black marj or mulatto, to his Cabinet, flo prefer Carl Schure, a foreigner, to Frederic! Douglass, sn abler and more eloquen man, sad native tera=-the I only ad van tage of Schure consisting in his com plexion. * i - II. He.refuses to appoint any Repul limn from the old ulavohoiding States and for this there can be no other suffi clent reason than that the Republican lu those States.or? all at one with th 'negroes. ' IH. Ho not csly^ldiy turns his bac on tho negroes ana their white allies i tho former slaveholding States, but b goes Into oh? of those States and takes < his1 embrace a man well known for h opposition to tho colored party. Mr. Hayes has plenty of soft Wort about the "equality of the races. IP. tl foco of thia formation of bb Cabinet the become meaningless.

ANDREW JACKSON'S DUEL. Th? Fight ta trblehhe Killen hi? An tagon bl ?nd waa Una self Wounded. The duel between Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson was deadly. Dickin son had alluded in oublie to tho well known and recorded (act that ono Rich ards had obtained a divorce from his wife on account of her "living iii adultery with one Andrew Jackson. She bad already boon made Jackson's wife, but the offense was deadly. Jackson sent the challenge. Dickinson was the most ex pert rna->aman in Tennessee, and Jack son resolved to give him the first fire. itu. ,- ?.ff?.??. w%? .v. ...? n.^v M II;'. was a fo.'g day's ride from Nashville. Thursday morning, before the dawn of day, Dickinson stole from the side of his youno; and beautiful wife aud began speedily to preparo for the journey. She awoke and asked him why ho was up so carly. He replied that he had business in Kentucky, across tho river, but it would not detain him bag. On parting he kissed her with peculiar tenderness ard said : "Good-bye, darling. I shall te sure to be at heme to-morrow night." He mounted his hone and repaired to the rendezvous where his* second and half a dozen gay blades of Nashville were waiting to escort him on his journey. Away they rodo in the highest spirits, as though it were a party of pleasure. In deed, they mode a party of pleasure of it. When they stopped for rest or refresh ment, Dickinson is said to have amused the company by displaying bis wonderful skill with the pistol. Once, nt a distance of twenty-four feet, ho fired four balbi, each at tho word of command, into a. space that could be covered by a silver dollar. It ls said that he had laid a wager of $500 that he could hit his an tagonist within half an inch of a certain. button on his coat. Both parties, with their respective cavalcades, reached tho vicinity of the ground appointed for the duel late in the afternoon. They secured accommoda tions at a couple of neighboring taverns. It is related that Jackson ate heartily at Bupper that night, conversing in a liveiy, {deasant manner, and smoked bis oven ug pipo as usual. He retired early, and by daylight next morning the whole' party was up and in tho saddle. A gal top of a milo and tho fording of a stream, ?u'cb, owing to its swollen state, it was found necessary to swim, brought them to tho ground. . Dickinson and party had already arrived. Tho business at once proceeded. Dickinson's second won tbe choice of position and Jackson's tin orfico of giving the word. "Both wore perfect ly collectod," sayB Parton. "AU the po liteness of euch occasions was very strict ly and elegantly performed. Jackson was dressed in a loose frock coot, button ed carelessly over his chest, and conceal ing in some degree the extreme slender ness of his Sgure. Dickinson was tho : younger smi han?Vomcr man of the two, but Jackson's tall, erect figure, and the still intensity of his demeanor, it is said, gave him a most superior and- com manding air, as he stood under the tall poplars on this bright May morning, silently awaiting thc moment of doom?' "Are you ready?" 8aid_Overton.-: "I ??i ready,**' replied .Dickinson. "I am ready," said Jackson. The word was given. Dickinson raised his pistol quickly and fired. Overton, who .fas looking with anxiety and dread at Jackson, saw a puff of dust fly from the breast of his coat, and saw hun raise his left arm and place it tightly across his breast. Ho is surely bit, thought Overton, and in a bad place, too; but no; he does not fall. Erect and grim as fate he stood, his teeth clenched, raising his pistol. Overton glanced at Dickinson. Annoyed at tho unwonted failure of bb aim, aud ap parently appalled at the awful figure and face before him, Dickinson had recoiled a pace or two. "Great God V he faltered ; "have I missed him ?" "Back to the mark, sh-1" shrieked Overton, with.his hand upon bis pistol. Dickinson recovered nb composure, stepped forward to the peg and stood with oyes averted from hbantagonbt General Jackson took, .deliberate aim and . pulled the trigger. The pistol neither snapped nor went off. He looked st the trigger and discovered that it had stopped at half-cock. He drew it back to its place and tock aim a second time. Ho ?ired. D'ckiiimm's fr.co blanched ; ho reeled ; his friends pushed toward him, caught him. in th?u arms, and silently coated him on ?he ground, lean ing'against a bush. Hb trousers red dened. They stripped off hb clothrs. The blood was gushing from hb side in torrents. Thu ball hud pass?d through the body below the ribs. Such a wound could not but be fatal. Jackson and his friends immediately left tho field. It wrs foetid upon exam ination, on reacbirg tho tavern, that he was wounded. "Dickinson's sim," says Parlor., "hod beru perfect. He had sent tho bail precisely where he supposed Jackson's heart was beating, bat the thinness o? hi J body and the looseness of hb coat combining to dtfcoiy? hir*?> the ball Lad only broken a rib or two and raked the breast bone. It was a some what painful, bad looking wound, but neither severe ?or dangerous." Dickinson died that night. In this duel it is plain to bo seen, from a careful consideration of thc circum stances above narrated, though tho truth does not appear to havo reached tho ap prehension of Gen. Jackson's biographer, that Dickinson'was outwitted by his older and more experienced antagonist. Ad vantage was taken of the very fact of his being a "dead shot," end bf hb perfect confidence in his skill with the1 pistol. Hb avowed purpose was '."rshoot Jackson through the heart, and l- At absolutely sure of doing this. In what manner his object was defeated Mr. Parton uncon sciously discloses. Ho aimed ''precboly vnoic ?Q ouppiuvu DKCKBUU D iica?t WU? beating, but the thinness of his body and the looseness of hi?cost" combined-'to deceive" him'. Admitting the moral!'/ Of private combat as of public war, such a strategy nuder the cfrcumstanoni can not be regarded as unjustifiibio. Ahe late General Sam. Dale,.who was inti mate with [Jackson, baa been frequently heard to say that Dickinson'*, fatal mis take was in not aiming at Jackson's head Port?n b in error when he states that Jackson's wound was "neither severe or dangerous." It confined him to bis room for several weeks, and it healed falsely. Twenty years after it broke out afresh, and troubled him for tho( remain der of his life.

Ila? lt any Heal Efficacy I-The Dels ?lou Rudely Dispelled. FiX,tn thc Scientific Anuricxm. lu our last issue wo reviewed tho al leged capabilities of sunlight filtered throdgh bloc glass in causing plants to grow, &c., and by reference to numerous experiments we reached tho conclusion that thc light transmitted through tho violct-bluo glass is nothing more than normal sunlight diminished in intensity. We proposo in the following to finish our discussion by examining into thc effects of light and darkness on organisms ; and we may especially here recall the fact that Gen. Pleasonton claims that not only does the hluo glass stimulate growth, but that it is a possitive remedial agent for such severe ailments as spinal menin gitis, nervous irritation and exhaustion, rheumatism, hemorrhage of the lunga, deafness partial paralysis, shock dne to severe cmtuMon, ana others, of all of which be lites cases. . The theory that various colored lights exerciao different effectz on the human system is an old one. Bi 1881, DR New berry, of thia city, asserted that yellow light stimulates the nervous, pink the nutritive, and blue the locomotive tem ?crament. And recently Dr. Pons?, an tal ian physician, has asserted that luna tics aro greatly affected by being placed in different colored rooms. Bed light, Dr. Ponza says, removes feelings of d? pression, blue light iuduces calmness, and ny violet light n crazy person was in one day cured. . It is a thorougbly demonstrated fast that light is an important vital stimulant; and that, if its operation be excluded, tho development of the healthy bodily struct ure is arrested. Naturalists tell us that in the nbsenco of light tho transformation of a tadpole into a frog is stopped, and the reptile .remains a tadpole. Plant? in darkness become blanched and stunned in growth, the process of fixing the car bon in their tissues is arrested, a modifi cation of the coloring principio takes place, and they appear white instead of green. The sad affects or deprivation of sunlight are especially observable among those who live in crowded alleys or cellars, or who work in .mines, where the light of tho sun seldom or never pene trates. Thc total exclusion of the sun's beams produces an impoverished and dis ordered state ' of tho blood, emaciation, muscular debility, and the diseases duo to imperfect nutrition. On thc other hand, it is known that for certain pnrposes darkness or shaded light is advantageous to the bodily con dition. Fowls, for instance, may bo fat tened' much more rapidly in tho dark, and it would seem that the absence ol light exercises a very great influence ovei the pawer possessed by food in increas ing thc size of animals. It likewise seems to exercise a soothing and quieting influence, increasing the disposition ol animals to take rest, making less foot necessary, and causing them to store u j more nutriment in the form of fat ant muscle. Now, if the organism to b treated is subjected to light, all of whicl is filtered through blue violet glass, then as we have previously demonstrated, it i in light which is considerably shaded And very probably to this cause-ant not all to tho peculiar hue of the light is to bo attributed th* quieting influcne on nervous and insan?. people which Di Ponza has remarked. But Gen. Pleasonton does ."ot??c blue violet glass alone. On the contrary, hi employs a combination of blue-light am pure sunlight, tho bitter very much pre pondernting. In his grapery, for exam Ele, only every eighth row of panes i lue. The mingled light consequently i merely pure sunlight, very alightl Blinded, and the animal or plant expose! simply takes a sun-bath-the tolarium o the ancients, who, knowing the vivifyin; influences ot the sunbeams, had terrace built on the tops of their houses BO tho they might bask in them. This aun treat ment is now frequently recommended b physicians for nervous diseases. Di Hammond in one of his lectures, says "In convalescence from almost ali dh eases it acts, unless too intense or to long continued, os a most healthful r.tiir niant, both to tho nervous and physics systems. * * * Tue del ri ii m and weakness, by no means eehioi met with in convalescents kept in dari ness, disappear Uko magic when the raj of the sun are allowed to enter tho chan ber." To recapitulate iu brief, Gen. P.'casoi ton's claims of any superior powers fe blue glass on account of the color whic it produces in transmitted light, ar whan tested hy the result of previous ii vestigations, unfounded. In some ii stances; where it ia desirablo to reduc tho intensity of thc light, hluo glass mi be used ; I but any other mode of shedir tho light, as hy ground glass, thin cu tains, ?Sic, would without doubt seri equally ns T'ell. Tho cures produced ai ascribable to two causas : i First, to tl healthy influence of the sunbath ; ac t^cxmdiy, to tho very powerful influent of the patient's imagination. There a abundant cases known where imoginatic has so powerfully affected the body as cause death. Experiments upon criminals lia' shown that in ono instance, where a pe Bon was placed in x bed which, he w informed, had just been vacated by cholera-patlont (but which had not,) ! exhibited all the Symptoms of that di caste. Another person is reported have shown aH the signs of collapse fro loss of blood from the suppositions !d that ho was bleeding to death. As i garda tho animals fattened Under t glass, all circumstances go to show tb the result was due to their forced qnii cence, thoir shelter from the weather, ai their free exposure to the sun. It is hardly necessary to odd that, Oui Ofsiuiuu, IUU uso ul limo ginsS, Uri ? vocatcd by General Pleasonton, is dc vt of benefit.

Thia gifted, charming and widely known lady died on the 13th inst., near Angosta, Ge., after a long life, which was not without trouble, bnt which, waa also ful! of honors and successes. Mme. Lo Vert came of distinguished stock. Her grandfather, George Walton, a native of Prince Edward county, Virginia, was cno of the signers of die Declaration of In dopendence. He was a member of the First Congress, convened at Philadelphia, and held successively the offices of Gov ernor of Georgia and Judge of the Su preme Court. George Walton, the sec ond son of this couple, was educated at Princeton, N. J., and married Miss Sallie Mingo walker, tho daughter of a distin guished lawyer of Georgia. Octavia was the result of this marriage, having been boro at Belle Vue. near Augusta. Short ly after her birth ncr parents removed to Florida, of which State General Jackson was then Governor. Colonel Walton succeoded the General in die Governorship of the new State. The coat of government was then nt Pen sacola, but during Governor Walton's administration was removed to "Talla hassee," this Indian name, signifying tho "beautiful land," being selected for tho now capitol by his daughter Octavia. The first public notice taken of the young Octavia was at Mobile during tho lost vif.it there of General Lafayette. This distinguished General having been on term? of intimate friendship with her grandfather during the Revolutionary struggle, the Committee of Reception ?resented the young girl to his notice, ho old General gazed upon her for a few minutes, then, bursting into tears, caught tho child to his heart, exclaiming, "The living image of my bravo and noble friend 1" Young Octavia, encouraged by bis affection, prattled freely in his native tongue (for she was even then an accom plished linguist,) and after a long inter view the General turned to ono of the committeemen and remarked : "A truly wonderful child I She bas been convers ing all this while with intelligence and tact in tho purest French. I predict for her a brilliant career." Her history since that time *~ss fully borne ont this predic tion. Shortly after the removal of her parents tc Mobile, Octavia, in company with her mother *>nd brother, made a tour throughout the principal cities of the Union ; and then commenced th? -emar kablo career as a social genius which gave her world-wide celebrity. In the most select circles she was hailed by acclama tion as the reigning belle, but this title never affected her high toned and com prehensive mind. It was during this tour that Miss Walton became acquainted with Washington Irving. The acquain tance was the result of accident in tho first place, but only ceased with tho death of Mr. Irving. Their last interview at Sunnyside was of the most interesting character, and on parting the author of the "Sketch B >ok'fsaid, "I feel as if the sunshine was ali going away with you, my child."

In 1839 Miss Walton married Dr. Henry Le Vert, of Mobile, whose father was fleet surgeon under Rochambeau, and who was present nt the siege of Yorktown. In 1846 Mrs. Le Vert was visited by Lady Emeline Stuart Wortley, who was then sojourning in this country. In the summer of 1853 she accepted an invitation from the Duke of Rutland, and in company with her father and daughter sailed for England. Her reception in England end throughout the continent amounted almost to an ova tion, r .ul she added lustre to all tho bril liant courts to which she waa welcomed. Returning home in 1854 Mrs. Le Vert spent a year in seclusion and thou revisi ted Europe. It was during this last visit that her celebrated "Souvenirs of Travel" wore given to the public. The "Sonvc nirs" were written by advice of Lamar tine, with whom she became acquainted during a visit to Paris. Th? work at once obtained for its author's varied abil ities the appreciation of all intelligent Americans, to whom Mme. Le Verthud been previously unknown, and was rend aa eagerly in Europe as America. Mme. Le Vert was strongly opposed to the secession of the South, and did not forbear to make known her feeling on the subject, even after the outbreak of hostil ities. She remained at her home in Mo bile throughout the whole course of the war, however, and exerted her iarge sym pathies and marked abilities in those hu mane services of which the Southern sol diery had pecnliar need. At the end of the war she visited the national capital to ask a pardon for her friend General Beanrcgara, who had previously been the recipient of her most decided opinions of the civil war. Several years ago she vis ited thc North, and found new fame and hosts of new friends wherever she went. In person Mme. Le Vert waa of medium height, with a countenance in which was blended beauty, intelligence and amiabil ity.

"Then take three hundred pounds and carry them to the seller with my compli ment?, and don't never venture to talk to me of cheap land again."

Senator (Jordon's Views. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has been interviewed on thc political situation, und, as might be expected, his viewo are correct and conclusions sound. If there were moro Democrats in Congress like Senator Gordon thc Radical scheme for stealing the Presidency would have come to naught. Tho interview is as follows : I never doubted, said Senator Gordon, and I am now absolutely assured of tba fact (and from -Republican sources, too,) that, if tho Democrats had from first to last presented an unbroken front, and given notice of their inexorable purpose of resisting to the very hut cxtr .nity any attempt to neat a fraudulent President, thc itepubiicans would never have at tempted to seat Hayes. I know this to bo so. Thc uncertain policy of tho Dem ocrats, tlie reported divisions in the ranks, and their alleged willingness to submit peaceably to any usurpation, encouraged the Republicans to such un extent that tiic clcctoial bill became a uetessity. Now, mark mc: if tho Democrats li ?td {?resented an unbroken front the Republ icans would novor have gone to extreme measures, and the electoral bill would never have been thought of. What course, then, would tho Demo crats have pursued ? Why, eimply this : Tho Houeo would have thrown out Flori du and Louisiana, and if the Senate did not follow suit, the House would either linvo elected Tilden outright, or would have provided a MU ordering a new elec tion next November, making nome decent Republican acting President until that timo. Of courso tho new election would have resulted in Tildcn's triumph. But I boliovo that tho Senate would havo voted to throw out Louisiana, and possi bly Florida, if there hod been nu Elec toral Commission ; if the Democrats had been determined and undivided from thc first. But that is all past, and we must look to tho future. Hayos' prompt disavowal of tho offensive article in the Ohio Statt Journal prevented the inauguration of movements that will keep bim out of the White House. What wal become of the Democracy in four years? A grand, sweeping victory awaits them, beyond the shadow of a doubt, if they will re main ic ranks, and keen the party intact. The country will repudiate the fraud by which the Republicans have established their usurpation, just as surely aa the time arrives for them to vote. Our ouly dan ger is this : that Hayes, by glittering offers, by really conservativo and liberal action will disintegrate our Southern Democracy, and put ua itt danger of losing some of tho Southern States. Such n prospect as this would demoralize our frionds in the North. Tho Republicans will make herculean efforts to capture Southern Democrats and debauch the Southern party. His friends have al ready petitioned Grant to "hold his hands off,; of Louisiana and Carolina, and loavo the solution of those problems to Hayes. Their object is plain. It is intended that tho nev President shall have ail the applause that the recogni tion of the Hampton and Nicholls gov ernments will win. You will perceive at once that this advantage Will be a tre mendous ono. The full and prompt re cognition of the honest g?vcrtiiueuia of thoso twoN8tates will give nim an oppor tunity to signalize the opening of his ad ministration that few Presidents, if any P. -aident, ever had. A judicious distri bution of thc offices in bis gift among the Southern Democrats is relied upon to further or completo this disintegration. It U plain that no Southern Democrat should accept office under Hayes. It shall bo my purpose to advino all who approach mo upon tho subject to hnve nothing to dd with ic Our only safety, and it seems to me our only honor, is m holding ourselves absolutely aloof from this fraudulent and usurpatory adminis tration. If this is done we shall reap a glorious harvest four years from now. The most horrible result, it seems to me, that can come from a division of our party in tho South ia the demoralizing and miserable scuffle that will ensue over the negro vote. It will be a aad day for the South when we see decent white men arrayed against each other, and engaged in a deadly struggle, tho prize of which is n batch of ignorant and corrupt negro voters. I hopo and pray that the party will preservo tts organization and save its honor. And I believe it will. I have no idea, that -Hayes. or nny other man can buy thc sentiment of the bo:; th with a few petty offices, or debauch with patron age a party that has proved its heroism and demonstrated its fortitude and purity as the Southern Democracy has. The Drunkard'* Appetite. There was living noi long since, in Brooklyn, n man who had inherited from a druuken father an appetite for rum. Ho was a hopeless drunkard. The mau had many noble instincts, and, better than all these he had a loving, faithful, ! brave wife, who made skilful war'upon j the demon, her husband's "taster. Recog nizing the fact that ber husband waa under j an ove:powering impulse, that he longed ; and straggled manfully to free himself from the passion for drink, ehe bent all the en orgies of her woman-nature lo the task 1 of helping him. She loved and suffered and toiled cntil ut last the loving and toiling accomplished their purpose. She took her husband by tho band, and shared with him hia struggle, until, after years of labor, she overcame his devil, and saw him a free man again. Her battle with Rum had been a fierce one, taxing and wasting her strength sorely, but she was conqueror at last. Her husband stood upon manly feet, and showed no sign of falling again. Several years passed away, and thia reformed man foll ill of con sumption. The distinguished physician, from whoso lips we havo the story, pre scribed alcoholic stln- liants as the only means possible of prolonging his life. Tho poor wife waa in terror, and begged ?ne physician to recall the prescription. 8he told bim of her long struggle and victory, and said abo preferred that her husband should die then, a sober man, than that ho should fill a drunkard's gravo a year later. ' But the freed spirit of the mon was strong, and he undertook to take alcoholic liquors as a medicine, and to confine himself absolutely to such times and measures ?n the matter as the physician should prescribe. This he flicf. on/1 nurina tl-et mrmfJia flinn afldajl to bia life, ho never once dionk a singh) drop more than the prescription called far, and he died at last a sober man, as the wife had so earnestly prayed that he might.

WASHINGTON, March 13. Hon. Hamilton Fish called to pay his respects to Mr..Stephens to-day, athis sick rooms in tho National Hotel. Mr. Fish was cordially received by the sick man, who extended his attenuated hoad from under the bed cover, saying, "I am glad to see you, Mr. Fish." Mr. Fish-I have called to see you at the .earliest moment I could, after being kelieved from my public duties. Mr. Stephens-Succession in office is one of the fundamental principles in our republican form of government. ?Ir. Fish-Yes, it- is happily constitu ted, and it is gratifying to me to know that my uuccessor is u man of sterling worth and great ability. After a few further - preliminary in 3uirics tho convocation turned ou Presi dir Hayes* Southeru policy. Mr. Stephens-I am glad to sec that Mr. Hayes is shaping bis policy some thing after that of General Washington by calling around him good and tried men without regard to their political or partisan antecedents-by calling to his aid on this great crisis of our country men irrespective of party, and assigning them duties becauso of their peculiar fit ness for them. Under the circumstances that now surround him, looking alone to ?jood of country and not merely to the br mat ion of party ; if ho shall follow out this policy to its legitimate conclusions, his administration will prove a success, and confidence will bo restored to thc country. . Mr. Fish-It seems to be Mr. Hayes' policy to give tho home offices to home men. Mr. Stephens-Yes, and if li? will give these to men of character and standing at home, men who havo the confidence and respect of the people without reference to their party affiliations, but who accept office as a high trust rather than for emoluments, Mr. Hayes will soon find his administration growing in tho hearts and confidence of tho people everywhere. Democrats may accept of these offices from Mr. Hayes without tiny compromise cf principles. As to a policy for Louisi ana and South Carolina, as well as other Southern States, tho desire is to bo loft to themselves, to govern themselves as may seem bet to thora, and all Mr. Hay? can or need do is too seo tbat thrir gov ernments aro republic ?rt ttsi form, and that they obey the law. and keep the peace. If ho will do this, the corrupt carnet-bag governments will disappear, ana constitutional, peaceful governments take their places. This will bring peace and contentment to the South, and pros perity to tho country. I know my peo ple ; they aro law-abiding if left to make and execute their own laws, as in other sections of our country.

Howitt accompanied his resignation of tbe Chairmanship of tho National Democratic Committee with a letter which, while eminently credita ble to bim ns a Democratic leader, n statesman and a patriot, affords a melan choly commentary on tho exigency that led him and a majority of his Democratic colleagues to favor tho adjustment of tho Presidential dispute by an Electoral Com mission. Admitting the deep and burn ing wrong of the result, Mr. Hewitt jus tifies his snppoft of tho bill, and his assent to tho completion of the count saying that as an honorable man, no other course was open to him than to abide by the award of the Commission ; and, in his judgment, laying the questiou of honor aside It was the,right course for the country as well as for tho Democrat ic party, to proceed in accordance to law to an orderly completion of tho count, even with the knowledge that it involved tho installation of Hayes. Mr. Hewitt believes that disastrous consequences would have foiiowed tho defeat of the count. On one Bide ho saw anarchy and civil war, on the other, peace and order. He preforred the latter alternative. "Under the circumstances." he says, in conclusion, "I could not hesitate as to my course. I felt that, as a patriot, and as a trusted servant of the Democracy, no other course was left open tom?;: and I feel sure its wisdom will bo vindicated by the early and triumphant success of the D?mocratie party, Blending as it does upon the wreck or justice and patriotism, from which no amount of passion or Sro vocation has been able to move it. or myself I feel that I have now com pleted the duty which was assigned me nt St. Louis. The result of the campaign was the unquestionable election of our I candidates. That they and tho people have been defrauded of their rights, is true ; but for this result I do not bold myself more responsible than any other member of Congress upon whom rested tho duty of counting and declaring the vote." The Galveston News thinks tho most memorable portion of the letter is that in which Mr. Hewitt expresses tho conviction that anarchy and civil war were averted by the -plan of adjustment covered by the electoral bill, and ex ecuted to the legal accomplishment of a mighty fraud. He is not a* man who would lightly put on record and history such an opinion as this. His intelligence, his vigilance, the nature of his position made him peculiarly well acquainted, not only with the claims and resources of his own party, but with the pr?tentions, tho temper and the designs of the leaders 0?

His mother, nu estimable lady, who resided in tho interior of tho State, war sent for and' nursed hin", assiduously day and night. Tho , most discouraging thing in the.whole caso was thnt nope of thc physicians who were called in could determine tho character bf hia disease. Tho symptoms were entirely unique The young man whoso name woe Hen derson-tho Christian name,being.with held at tho request of relatives-said that ho had experienced a sensation asif some thing were gradually spreading among ind tying up his intestines. The physf ohuwj arrived at tho conclusion that he was afflicted with worms, and treated him accordingly, but with no effect. \ifhat ever the disease was, itfteemcd'to battle the pharmacopoeia, and the doctore and the heart-broken mother were| oblighed to Btand idle and see young Henderson die before their eyes. In the meantime his suffering increased. ' Sleep was almost, a stranger to him, and'ho complained more and more of tho peculiar feeling* of a vitality in the intestines, distinct from his own. After lying four months, lie died iu great agony. Weak as ho was, he seemed to bo pos sessed of a fictitious strength, and et tho time of his exertions in the paroxysms of agony to which bo was cu bj oct, two could with difficulty hold him on tho bed.
