Blair, Jr., not long since, upon the power of Congress to recon struct the South. Gen. Blair warmly maintained that the reconstruction• laws were unconstitu tional: and that' there was no anthortitY hi the National Government to endow negroes with the elective franchise in the conquered States. "Yon are mistaken," said his friend ; "the Supreme Court has fully decided the questton in,favor of tho power exercised by Congress." "How so ?" asked the GeneraL "I never heard of any such decision." "I will rgivb You the peints," *ALM° eruiwer. "I.

The New York World . lately called General Grant, "Giant, the Great American Bark's, or dumb-waiter," and in the same issue alluded to General .Lee as " this grand old soldier." The next day it remarked that " the Democratic 'speakers treat General Grant with Marked cour usy and forbearance."

Sound Doctrine. A Democratic paper in Talladega, Alabama begins an article by - saying : "Personal and politi cal liberty are both necessary to develop the highest style of man." The article continues: "Those who would elevate the negro from his proper level are but a few steps, if any, in ad vance of him."

Which Is the Conservative Wade Hampton says that the cause of the late rebellion is not lost, that reconstruction by Con gress is revolutionary and void, and should be overt - tilted by the sword. John H.

Which is the" conservative of these two men, and which courseis the way of peace ? Beth Sides of the Question. The New York Tribune says: We are afraid we shall have to fake it back. We spoke bie other day of the Sun's comments on the Maine election as entitling it to be consi dered the fairest of our Democratic journals. Bat now comes the Bon.. Brick Pomeroy with his little claim to the same distinction. Hear him: "The State election` in Maine , has been held— the smoke bas lilted—the-Repnblicans have over 20,000 majority.__ We are defeated there and do not like it. We met the enemy in Maine and are theirs. They whipped ns there 'weise than we supposed they would- or could, and it hurts. Duty to our readers—a *desire to - epeak truth— makes us admit a defeat There—a stronger Re= publican vote than we looked , for.

Should the majority, however, increase as In the towns heard from, it will amount to the magnificent figure of 28,360 ! ! , Farewell to Copperheadism in Maine." Grace Greenwood, in a letter printed in the London Star, says : ' "There be many who find the character of General Grant a baffling and impenetrable mys tery—who imagine something Jesuitically dark and subtle in his imperturbable quietude and veticence—in the impassive face, from which all merely curious looks glance off. There be others who, seeing nothing but the remarkable sim plicity and straightforwardness of the man, pro nounce him commonplace and shallow. I re member a bay of Lake Huron of which the water was so crystal clear so utterly transparent,that ft seemed to me that I could; by reaching my arm over the side of the boat, clutch the Aiming peb bles at the bottom; yet they were some 50 feet beyond my reach. Still, there is something in a first meeting with Gen. Grarit that strikes one aback—hr the steady, inflexible, steel blue eye— in the strong, reticent month—in the Gaelic jaw, firmly but not fiercely set—in the indescribable air of self-possession and self-reliance that en velopes the man—something as far as possible removed from pretension or hauteur, but a more effectual defence than either could be. He is a small man, who never is guilty of the disastrocas mistake ' of seeking _to_ make tiie most of - haul& by stretching ,up or. swelling out; not in manner, walk, voice, or speech does he overstep the modesty of nature.

One of its disciples says in its own favorite strain of "dignity andeandort" " Rip Van Winkle waking up from his nap of twenty years, if bis :tree bad beheld such a eight as is presented by this mongrel, carpet-bagging, and ecallawagging party, with the Butcher Grant as its• leader, would have dosed his eyes and im plored the god of sleep for another lease of twenty Sears, to escape the hideous ravings of these vampires." liorture of liepubliebus in the Jail in Wilson County, N.

During the i'hot and sultry Bummer, • por — creaturefrwere — januned — tegether in this hole, and at night were compelled to -Jeep partially one upon another,for'there was not space for them to occupy singly. There was plenty other room in the jail, but O'Nails, the jailor, declared his intention of putting eleven more men in if they had to stand on one another's heads, because, as he alleged; they were d—d black Radicals, and ought to be killed, and he wished he had all the d—d Radicals in there with them. The offer was made to Haywood White by Captain Lusk, that ho would release him from jail if he would take an oath to join the Conservative party. White was suffering horri ble torture,but replied that he had already sworn to support the Constitution and the Union and could not violate his oath. Capt. Lusk also promised Farmer that if be would "go with him" (Democrat), and induce other colored men to do so, he would let him out of jail as quick as he could snap his finger. Lusk also told him that if he got out of jail without "turning over" (he was a strong Re publican) he would be killed before night. Find ing it impossible to seduce either Farmer or White, or any of the rest of the prisoners, the course of, torture was deterinined on—torture which has for centuries been abolished from:the prisons of England. The first place to apply it was in their diet. Twice a day a small piece of pickled pork, fried to a crisp, and little else than solid salt, and weighing less than an ounce, was served to these famished creatures.' This pro duced thirst, and the jailor, carrying out the instructions of his fiend-hearted rebel patrons, cut off the supply of water to a quantity barely sufficient to support life. When the prisoners in an agony of thirst would cry out for God's sake to give them water, the brutal response from the jailor would be, "come down and get it." One day, Joe King, a kind of tnder-jailer, was cursing and abusing Radicals, when Farmer at last replied to the effect that Radicals were as good as other people, where upon Ring struck him, Farmer, a defenceless prisoner, a heavy blow on the side of his jaw with the keys, breaking his teeth. For some time Farmer could not eat, and he was not even allowed to have anything to bandage his wound. And the brutal coward who had indicted this ,in jury took occasion afterward to insult Farmer by asking him how he felt. • In a speech the ',other day Senator Sumner asked hb hearers to look at the history of the Democratic leaders.

Jahn Franklin Important Discoveries— % he Last Survivors rraced. and 'Cap. .tain Crozier's eleatti Determinedd-- Valuable Records Reported to be in Existence. It is now nearly a quarter of a century since UM lamented Sir John Franklin and his crews embarked on the ships Erebus and Terror on their historic and 111-fated expedition to the Arctic region, in quest of a Northwest passage to Asia. Several expeditions were fitted out to search for the lost navigators, but none of them were able to find any positive evidence of the safety or existence of any of Franklin's command, and Obtained only vague rumors froth the Esquimaux that parties of Caucasians had been among them. When these had failed,the attention of Henry Grinnell, of New York became involved in the subject, and an expedition was fitted out by him, and CaptairrHall was entrusted with the arduous un dertaking-of endeavoring to clear up the rays- Wry, which had become at once painfully sad and romantic. To his energetic investigation et the fate of the Franklinexplorers and. to the liberality of coMof New York's citizens the world is indebted for such information as has furnished positive evidence of the result of Sir John's haz ardous attempt. . On Thursday last,' Dr. Geoid, of Dublin, a gen tleman widely known, and who has been during the past two years in the Polar regions, arrived in this city and furnished the latest detailed in formation of Captain Hall and the object of his search.'Dr, Geoid - :arrived at New London, Conn., a few days since on board a whaling ship, from Cumberland Inlet, and states that in Au gust, 1867, he spent some considerable time with Mr. Halt, who was then at Repulse Bay, t Mr. Hall has traced the fate directly of two of the last survivors of Sir John Franklin's party, and has obtained valuable information regarding the relics and some records reported by the natives to have been left by the lost expedition in King William's .Land. Captain Hall learned from _some' Of the Esquimatix in 1866, that about two years prior to that time Captain Crozier and one of the Franklin crew had died in the vicinity of Southampton Island while endeavoring to make their way to that place, in the belief that they would bo there able meet a whaler to convey them back to England, or, in fact, anywhere, to escape from the Arctic prison. Captain Hall is confident of the identity of Captain (Jrozier with one of the men so de scribed to have perished, as the natives not only gave Captain Crozier's name, but were in posies- Bien of certain articles that belonged to him and to his companion. Mr. Hall obtained from these Escrnimans Captain Crozier's - watch. a gold chro - -- nometer, made by Arnold & Dent, of London, be sides some small articles of silver and trinkets belonging to the outfit. These <relies Mr. Hall now holds and have been seen and handled by Dr. Goold. Captain Crozier's companlon,who died with him, is believed to have been a steward of either the Erebus or Terror, as the natives stay he was a server of food,' but could not recollect his name. The natives also state that they have among them, near Southampton Island; a piece of gold lace and a piece'of gold bullion which be longed to Captain Crozier and is believed to have formed part of one of his epaulettes. They also stated that a number of others had started with Captain Crozier from a place' very far north to reach Southampton Inlet, but had perished one by one on the w it s had been passed from one-band. of Eno the 'other,- and when Captain Cromer bad paased through two tribes the natives say all .further traces,iverslost.._ bat Captain Hall himself traced th e remainder - there. Captain Hall atm° sayst—"The °pintos. most en tertained is that the natives killed them. They say themselves there was no difficulty in Captain Crozier getting through, because he was account ' ed among the natives a first rate hunter for that country, and.could at all times keep himself in food." The records which Ca t. Hill hopes to be able to secure are in King William's Laud, and considerable difficulty is anticipated in the effort to reach them. According to native inform ation the last six survivors built a cairn or tide vault of stones on the rocks, and deposited within it some documents and such articles as they had no further use for, or would been an encumbrance on their journey. For some time past Kink - William and his tribe have been hostile towards the native followers of Kng Albert, who inhabit the region about Repulse Bay where Mr. Hall was quartered, and would allow no incursions into their country. The place _ur here this-cairn-is drimibed - to - besituateffia - nbout four hundred and fifty miles uoi th.w ird from Re pulse Bay, and in order to reach it Capt. Hall has formed an alliance with Albert and his people, and, together with his own enort of Europeans. was preparing an exp,dition of about ninety persons to march iu quest of the records. It was Mr. Hall's intention to start in February or. March of this year, and he bad already accumn ' lated supplies of provisions and other necessaries for the purpose . His force will consist of five Cancanane, besides himself, and the remainder will be composed of Alfred's men. Of the whites accompanying him two were Irishmen, one Ger man, one Englishman and one Swede, all of whom were recruited by him from the crew of the Pioneer, which was wrecked in the summer of 1867 at King's Cape. These men are all armed with revolvers and shot guns, and it was mainly through reliance on the Euro peans and their 'weapons that the Albert men were induced to participate in the incursion Alone they would be unable to,cope with King William's forces, who number about two hundred, and could be assembled in a month. Captain Hall would offer no molestation to King William's people, but, if opposed, would give them battle if necessary, as he was determined to obtain the records of the lost explorers if pos sible. Re would be accompanied also by "Joe" and "Hannah," the two Esquimaux or Enewits who, it will be remembered, were a few years ago educated In this country and exhibited in this city. "Joe" and "Hannah" are man and wife, and now form part of Captain Hall's re tinue, or household affording bun valuable as sistance through their knowledge of the English language in communicating with the various tribes of natives with whose dialects andpeculiarities they are familiar. The en tire distance, it was expected, would have to be traversed on sledges drawn by dogs, of which useful motive power Mr. Hall has an abundant stock. It was Mr. Hall's determination, if sue cessfulin finding the cairn and no unforseen cir cumstances or obstacles intervened, to press still further forward and if possible reach the open Polar Sea and perhaps return by way of Bebring Strait. If impeded be expected to return from his expedition to King William's Laud about September of 1868 and take up 14s quarters for the winter at Repulse Bay. Last year he win tered in this locality, and at the time Dr. Goold saw him was in 66 degrees 28 minutes north lati tude and longitude 81 degrees 5 minutes west. —N. Y. Herald. THE COURTS.

He is a very peaceable sovereign, however, and to appear in fall uni form at military reviews is a thing to which he is greatly averse.

During the war of 1814, oetween Groat Bri tain and the United States, a resident of Phila delphia, who took great Interest in its progress, was in the habit of visiting the stage (Alice every day in search of news.
