Kinard, Newberry. Samuel Drouthitt, Greenville C. H. Wm. Mooro, Abbeville C. II. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. I>i?franclil??nif'fi t. The Washington correspondent of the New York World -writes, under dato of the 17th: It is the universal testimony of all unprejudiced observers -intelligent, and qualified by examination and ex yjirieueo to speak upon tho subject that the class of men in the whole South most quick to comprehend, and most anxious to perform, the duties of citizens of tho United States, aro tho late soldiery of tho Confeder? acy. Mr. Truman, the correspond? ent of the Times, is the last witness upon this point ; and the opportuni? ties he had of learning;, and the capa? city he has of judging, must be appa? rent to every ono who reads Iiis very interesting letters. This is tho very class of men which thc radicals pro? pose to disfranchise, for a time at least. If the object of what is face? tiously termed the Union party, Lucas a non I uceado, is tho temporary preservation of political power, thc action of the majority in Congress is very wise; if not, it is very foolish. Whenever a party is originally com? posed, as was the Republican party, one-eighth fanatics, one-eighth scoun? drels, and six-eighths ignorants, thc fanatics or the scoundrels always dic? tate its policy, and make the fools say and* unsay, turn somersaults, or cat the dirt of the ring at the crack of the whip. Lincoln, who was the most cunning mau in thc Union, and who had just exactly that calibre of intellect which is consistent with canning, appreci? ated at its exact value so precisely thc average ignorance of his fellow-citi? zens, that he put forward the most monstrous propositions without any fear of their fallacies being detected. lu his first inaugural, he told the Union and the world that, if judges wore to decide upon law, and if their decisions were to form rules of human action, then the people had put thc power out of their own hands. If he had put his idea in fewer words, and , ..said the proper judicial tribunal is tho ballot-box, tho absurdity would have boen moro palpable ; but it could never have been too palpable or too gross for his party to swallow. So, when he said if slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong, anil"that he had always thought so, he cither said what he did not believe, or he show ed that he was utterly incapable of dis? tinguishing how it happens that such words as right and wrong occur in any language, or have any founda? tion in human nature and the conduct of human life. The truth in relation to Mr. Lin? coln is that ho was a man of very strong natural parts, probably of a very kind, genial nature, but who was ' ' only half educated. He had learned to do everything but judge. His great power consisted in knowing ab? ut as mindi as men generally know, and in feeling as men generally feel. If tho statesmen who conducted the colonial cause had boon as shal? low in their learning, and as little re? moved from the inevitable ignorance i of the masscss upon tho great subject of government, Greeley would have been a loyal subject of Victoria, writing about George Washington as he writes about .lohn Mitchel. How thoroughly educated the great leaders ol' tho Colonies were; how thoroughly familiar with Locke ami Montesquieu, Machiavelli, and tho great G rook and Latin recorders of the lifo of the Greek unions, and ol' the Roman republic, any ono sees instantly who is at all familiar with toe history <>f that glorious era. In fact, Lincoln, like Greeley,; did not kuow the history even of his own country; for we would not do his memory tho injustice t<> suppose that when practically he asserted that tho Union madothe Constitution, not the Cotiatitiiti?ii the Union, lie. uttered an untruth instead of a mistake. Tho six-eight hs of which wo spoke, thdignorants, were just the class Mr. Liutohi represented, as Beecher and Ganisou did tho fanatical one-eighth ; and \Iiose lawyers who, well-educated \ and knowing tho truth, lised tho honest impulses of the honest masses to get power and profit at any price, .were tho scoundrel one-eighth. The masses of men in tho free States never meant to be dishonest; never meant to take from a Southern State a right, nor from a Southern man a cent. They were told hy their I leaders that a subject was within their jurisdiction which was not within their jurisdiction, and they decided as it was proper for them to decide, if tho subject had been within their jurisdiction? What those masses want now is the Union they fought for. The men they respect are the men they fought against. Take away the antagonism of party, and seven-tenths of the white citizens of the Union care no more about the rights of tho blacks than Greeley cares for the horror which the spirit of Beau Bmmmel, in spiritual circle number seventy-se? venth million, expresses to tho spirit of an inquiring Bostoneso at th* white coat of philosopher Squirm. IrcSumner and Stevens want thc D?? mocratie; party restored to power, they are taking tho most effectual means to secure that object, lt is bound to come in very shortly; whether it will come in mild und beneficent, with charity and compila? tion, as always before, or impatient to avenge and swift to strike, depends upon the present majority. Much has ?*ecently been said with reference to the impoverished und starving condition of the "freedmen" of Washington. We fear that these accounts of their misery are not ex? aggerated, as tho National Intelli? gencer states that these unhappy creatures have fallen so low that they have been willing to accept the hos? pitalities of Forney, and that the '.Dead Duck" recently "entertained them at his mansion in Washington in his usual style of luxuriance." Nothing, wo fear, but the direst ex? tremity of famine could have driven the "freedmen" to such a deplorable step. For their sake, we hope to bo able to publish an angry denial ot' this horrid rumor. The "Dead Duck" is, of course, too much delighted with the report that anybody, white or colored, will deign to dine with him, ki deny it himself.-Richmond Times. The murder of Mr. Lincoln hus boen dramatized and performed at M?lhausen. Tho piece is entitled, "Le Vie Mort d'Abraham Lincoln," aud is divided into seven tableaux. lu the fourth act, Mr. Jefferson Davis appears upon the seems and gives it as his opinion that us long as Lincoln is permitted to live, the cause of the South is lost, and ex? claims, "Who will get rid of this mau for us?"
