We Again quote from ''Maek," tho
able correspondent of the. Cincinnati
Commercial. This time lie ventilates
i?jr?* ? -
i - ilia secret resolves of the radical 4Se
i nate caucus:
in the last radical caucus; the coun?
cil af war where such a wonderful
- victory as has since been claimed was
hatched, a great many things were
determined upon. Among the rest,
it was agreed that the successor of no
man removed by the President for
? opposition to his policy should be
confirmed. In .other words, that no
political pct of a radical Senator
should be disturbed. Mr. Chandler.
- of Michigan, let this cat out of thc
bag, a day or two since, when QdL
Loomis, of artillery fame, culled
upon him to know what objection?
there were to his continuation ns
Assessor of Internal Revenue .at De?
troit. The phlebotimieal Senatoi
was condescending enough to say tr
Loomis that ho held no objection t<;
him personally, but that such had
been the "rule** adopted in lite can
ens, that to confirm him (Loomis'
would be to violate it.
It is well enough for the country t(
know this fact. My own impressioi
is that the Senate will not dare to re
fuse to con tir ni a man with tho splen
did army record of Loomis-a recort
which ought to be a great recom
mendation to one who had such grea
faith ia blood-letting as Chandler hat
a few years ago. lt is believed, how?
ever, that some time after Chandler'
memorable prescription for the conn
try's malady, in 1801, he change?
his medical faith from national pide
botomy to individual bibtdosity, an?
has since adhered to tho latter inu?l
of treatment with great vigor. How
ever, let him use his influence to <b
feat Loomis, if he dare. Let th
Loomis Battery, that lost so niau
men and so few guns in the {gallan
army of Sherman and Grant, an
that has tho name of forty battles an
forty victories inscribed upon its bar
ner, be defeated by-Heaven save IL
mark-Zachariah Chandler, Esq,
and then let the radicals talk of the
love for the soldiers, and their a ppr?
ciation of the boys in blue.
Another thing agreed upon in tl
caucus was the passage of a joil
resolution to amend the Coustiti
. tion, by providing that the Preside]
shall hold his office for four year
and not be re-eligible. This wi
presented by Mr. Wad? on the 'Jot
of Febru orv last, immediately aft?
Mr. Johnson's speech to the Virgin
delegation, which was construed 1
the radicals into a 1ml for re-elect io;
It was resolved in the caucus to tal
it up and press it to a vote as soon ;
possible after the adoption of tl
pending proposition.
ft. , It was aleo agreed to over-ride tl
Colorado veto, and admit thc nc
State, despite the President's objc
tions. This will not be possible wit
ont the self-stultification of at lea
half a dozen radicals-Sumner, Fi
senden, Grimes, Poland and E
r^nds-and others, I believe, all
.oom voted twice against the bill ?
Colorado'? admission, it is said I
some that a safficieiit number
those opposed to the bill will be i
duced to absent themselves when t
dual vote is taken, to give the reqi
site two-thirds in favor of it. TJ
manner of dodging will not suit t
people, though it may lca?l to t
acquisition of two Senators. T
admission of Colorado, for party ju
poses, may prove, before long,
example ruinous to the domine
party of the present Congress. I
Democratic party mny find itself
the majority one of these days, ai
anxious to increase its powers, ir.
look around for now States. It \
find material for half a dozen
Texas, and for as many more l?i
division of other Southern Stat
Better leave Colorado out until 1
population at least doubles. A St
with fewer inhabitants than one
the wards of Cincinnati would
very much like an absurdity

T^B Riclimond Times, of the 12th,
hos thc following remarks on .Judge
Underwood's Coull:
Tho i)ast week -was au eventful one
in the history of Richmonds The
curtain rose upon thc first act of the
most important State trial of the
nineteenth century. .Tho pretend 1
criminal was a soldier of.great dis?
tinction, ii statesman -of consummate
ability, the Exeoutiv? Chief of a
"braye people during the:uv short-lived
nationality, and v. Christian gentle?
man of spotless parity of private
character. Of, the defeuted Section,
Jefferson Davis was the representa?
tivo; of the triumphant. John C. Un?
derwood WHS the judicial organ.
Sia-je those; memorable. Muya, iu tho
bloody History of French Jacobinism,
when 'tkii Sans Culotte sat in judg?
ment upon the nien of the ancient
regime, there had never been a con?
trast more remarkable or nu>re over?
whelmingly iu favor of the accused
as compared with the accuser. For
the illustrions prisoner at Fortress
Monroe, who has borne the-slow tor?
ture of thirteen months' confinement
with snob noble heroism, there were
tears, mingled with respect and admi?
ration': for the man who sat upon the
judgment scat and declared bim
guilty in advance of arraignment,
there Was a feeling of universal indig?
nation and profound contempt, dis
turlxjd only by the discordant quack
of "dead duck" Forney.
. Heretofore civilized nations have
surrounded great State trials with
ruueh solemn and imposing ceremony.
Able judges aud eloquent prosecutors
have represented the majesty of
power with befitting dignity.
But the memorable and historic
judicial proceedings of the past week
will fill christendom with amazement.
Men will read Underwood's infamous
assault upon the people of Richmond
and his impotent calumny of the
press, and regard the whole proceed?
ing as a broad and utterly improba?
ble hoax. Those who most sincerely
respect Republican institutions and
admire tho greatness of this country,
will be the loudest in their denial o?
the reality of last week's mournful
and suggestive extravaganza in this
city. t.'otitrasting with tho great
trial ol Aaron Burr, in 1807, reading
Underwood's-biUingsgatc and remem?
bering Marshall's charge, they wil
say that this country has retrograded
in intelligence and respectability ai
rapidly as it has advanced in physical
greatness.
As the people of the South are ir
no way responsible for the humilia
ting judicial burlesque of the pasl
week, as it was their good fortune t(
furnish tho illustrious "criminal,'
and not the unworthy Judge, then
is no reason why we should eoucea
or extenuate a circumstance connect
i ed with the almost improbable absur
dity of the initial chapter in tbi
history of the prosecution of Mr
1 Davis!
! It tiie' attempt to "make treasoi
<?lions'' is entailing shaine and end
loss mortification upon the merciics
? radicals who have clamored for blood
it is a most just and righteous judg
, mont for their sins, if, when the;
confront a trim i ?vii like Jeffersoi
Davis with a thing like Underwood
the contrast is unfavorable to th
dominant party, those who hoped i
humiliate us must bear their load o
disgrace as best they can.
If, however, the radical at te mp
"to make treason odious"' hus. tim
! far exposed thc prosecutors and no
tho accused to derision and reproach
1 thc conservatism of the North is, fol
tnnately, saved from all responsi
j bility for tho disgrace of the radical
by the splendid Northern taler
whick was arrayed for the accuse?
j It was fortunate for the Norther
people that when disgrace fell upo
: them la.it week, through Underwood
\ that the generous and noble zeal i
O'Conor, Brady, Reed, Shea, Brow
' and others, able counsel for ex-Pr<
' sid?nt Davis, should have represen
! ed the intelligent conservatism of th
j North.
W hile a working party was engage
I a few days ago in disinterring tl
i Federal dead who fell in the battle <
i Resaca, near Atlanta, they discovere
? a body which excited attention fro!
the smallness of the feet. ni e:
i animation, it was found to be that <
j a woman who bad been killed by
bullet through the head. The grai
was marked "Charles Jonnson, pr
vate, Sixtli Missouri Volunteers."
i The Petersburg Express says: "Tl
famous Gallego Mills in Richmom
i which were destroyed by the gre
tire in April of iast year, have be<

PITHY.-The Richmond Times ;
closes an article on our political con- J
di tien as follows:
. Aa we are told that we are still in
"tebeUion," and that the war, ac?
cording to the radical theory, is still
going on, it seems that we have taken
no benefit from our submission. lu
one sense, the war is certainly going
on-in the breasts and passions of
the radicals-to a degree aa fierce as
when Grant was before Petersburg,
and Sherman in the centre of Geor?
gia.
In the great and m omen tuon s .
struggle which is about to be inau- .
gura ted in Europe, it would present j
a redeeming aspect to humanity if |
we could show for peace an unbroken '
front in America. lint it eeemu de- j
stined to be Sex otherwise. Fenian?, j
radicals, negroes, Liberals, Imperial- ;
'sta, Chileans, Peruvians, Spaniards, j
Brazilians, Buenos Ayrians and Pa- ;
raguayans are keeping this continent j
in a turmoil from one extremity to j
thc other.
"We wish to find that place which
H. S. Foote went in pursuit of when
ho became disgusted with Jefferson
Davis and the Southern Confedera?
cy-a place where he could live in j
peace, aud bo comparatively free I
from taxation. Can anybody give us j
the direction to this locality, for we ?
do not believe Mr Foote succeeded ,
in finding it?
THE MEXICAN QUESTION.-In the j
French Corps Legislatiff on May 2S? :
M. Jules Favre reminded the Cham
ber that it had still to discuss the !
Mexican question, and that on the j
occasion of the debate.on the Budget
the Government had promised that '
the documents relating to that ques?
tion should be presented to the
Chamber. M Vuitry replied that
the Government would see what docu
meuts it was possible to publish in I
the present stete of negotiations be- j
tween France and Mexico. "But,"'j
added tho Minister, "the Chamber'
understands that in the present j
position of affairs tho publication of
I tho despatches must be accompanied :
with great prudence and reserve."'
Mississippt PRESS CONVENTION.- ?
The Mississippi Press Convention
now in session at Jackson, Mississip- !
pi, have passed resolutions declaring
that tho people accept thc: arbitra- ?
ment of arms in good faith; will sup- ;
port emancipation and elevate the !
freedmen, and endorse tho Presi- j
dent's policy of reconstruction. They I
say Stevens, Sumner & Company are I
endeavoring to destroy the Constitu- j
tion and establish a despotic Govern- ]
ment.
No WHEAT FOB EXPOBT TN THE j
SOUTH.-The Atlanta (Ga.,) Netc\
Ern, of June 1, observes: "The i
South will not be able to do more j
this year than supply itself with
breadstuff's. Formerly we exported a
considerable amount of flour, but we
cannot d . so this vear.
The Richmond Wkly states that
rents have fallen very rapidly in that
citv. Stores which last year rented
from ?2,500 to 83,000 are now easy
to be obtained for 3(500 to 81.000.
