Frequently they hale one or more qualities in excess, which are so constantly obtruded as to obteure all other traits, and to pre a definite but erroneous impression of cbanaer.

There was a ve hemence in his utterances that blistered whatever they touched. The popular . idea was that his heart was a fountain of vitriol. In opposition to this estimate, those personallytntimate with him, con stantly bore testimony that he among the most untabie and least self-asierting of men.

When the Rebellion came he found his genuine sphere. -A man more equable,, and less ready ter a frsy, would have succumbed or been swept away. His peculiar traits enabled him to withstand every assault, and to triumph over all apposition.

It has been .common for -the Cower. valves to stigmatise BROW:MOWS ad ministration as a despotism. Hia vigor furnished the pretext. - But when we wielder the circurnstaiVal by which he has bean surrounded, this estimate will be found insufficient. A large propor tion of the• white . inhabitants of Ten neseee were rebels. It was not through want of efforts on their part that the State , was not earned as absolutely into the Rebellion as South Oitrolins. Thousands of them actually entered the Confederate armies. Thotisands more who stayed et • home, by reason of age or infirmitleswere as bitter as those who took up arms ' against the government As soon as the war was over the rebel soldiers came bark, and with the rebels who had re maned ht home; resolved to control the political affairs of tl r , State. They held .grub to the : democratic doctrine that 'treason wrought no forfeitures; that the =mud they were so beaten as to bt compelled to cease fighting, all their rights, of whatevier kind, were as really their's as though they had always been loyal and obedient to the laws. They regained possession of their property; and meant to enter upon and hold all the edices of trust and profit. The enfran chisement of the blacks stood in their way ibr one thing, and their owe cats - franchisement for, another. For weeks put they have been en ' dimming to hold the annual election In defance of the; Constitution and laws 01 the State, They meant to vote whether they bad a regal :right to or not; and they resolved to prevent its many black men from voting as they could, no mat ter how indisputable their right to the ballot. By a system of terrorism they 'at first hoped to accomplish their de- sign. They were met by a resolution SS invincible as their owe, and - before 'which they quailed. Then they at . 'tempted to draw the President on to toes their part, and .by Military power " -10 easiidde the. legal linUaliments that obstructed their wa y.. Doubtless it would have afforded the President solid woistaiticin to-have yielded to these so licitations; but he did not dire add that last feather's weight of provocation io a loyal Congress and people, already In. ceneed to the list degree Of : endurance. ' The course pursued by the Tennessee rebels daring the lest year furnishes a complete justification of the comparative proscription under which, they rest. Of rightjautielpation in the government ought to be confined to those men who ' are loyal to it. Dow long the prosaic,- . ton of the : disloyal ought to be con . tinned must depend anon their conduct. Doubtless, it is desirable, Hat allcitizens should be allowed i share in the man. egement of public affairs. But if they see St by criminal conduct to disqualify themselves, open their own shoulders must rest the blame. The day will come, we trust, when all diesbilitins, growing out of the war. will cease-when the distinction of loyal and disloyal will be known no more. But a General AM111.2, ty, jnarder to be beneficial, must have respect MI well to the frame ofmind in which they are for whose benefit it is • istendief, as : to the disposition of the government itself. -Wken the Southern people shall accept the situation, avian bear true alleemice to the Union, and acknowledge the equal. rights of all their Mow (Athena, of whatever race or section,. the sooner an act of oblivion shill cancel and cover their disloyalty the better for the wbol THE FALL TRADE: general expectation seems to be in- dulged In financial and commercial cir- cles throughout the country, that Trade the approaching Fall, Rill be huge and prosperous. This anticipation is tailed pr i marily on the abundance of the crops, which seem to guaranty means for the . . payment of unusual purchases. To -a certain extent, them cidcidations are not unsoun d. If they shall be so conducted its conduce to circumspection Rad pru dom,, beneficial consennenceswill surely p ow from them. But if they shall be so managed as to beget a spirit of specula- tionind extravagance, the results will be disastrous. , The crops are uncdrnmouly good In MI parts Of the tnitcd States. So are the crops in. Europe. These two facts have a significance When considered separate ly and 'apart from each other. They have, also, aaignificance when consld- ered in connection. Such' abundance as is,,iouchsafed to the people of this coun try the cadent year, would Imply, even In _the . face Of '.considerable scarcity abroad, a decided reductlon In prices here; In conjunction _with full harvests in most, if not' all, the countries of Eu rope, the falling away in prices cannot fal to lie mune strongly marked. Gold has become an article of com- tierce; or, rather, an art.icle for speen- lating in. • It has ceased temporarily to be as absolutely as ityras a measure of the value of other commodities Never exact as a criterion of value, it can now scarcely be rated as a criterion at all, In the intrinsic sense. About as - accurate a measure as the. financial emergency has felt us is Flour. This is recognized to such a degree that in some instances, by mutual consent of owners and em ployes, wages are gr i tinated accordingly as the price of that commodity goes up or down. With tho full knowledge that Flour has materially receded. in price, and With every reason to believe that it will go much lower still, it would seem to be absurd, on this basis, to endeavor to sunenndrice a new era of speculation, and to'advance the market value of all other gorilla than prOvisions. Upon a close analysis it 3s constantly found that the value of iron. cloth, and the like, de pends mainly the agricultural pro- ductlons consumed in manufaCturing them, either as component material or as sustenance for workmen and their families. This rule IS se constant and undeniable that wise' en cannot soberly imitgine it is now. to be set aside . for a season for the special accommodation of speculators. Traffic, in this country especially, is full of peril to all who are concerned therein.. In New York the common es timate is that ninety-eight out of every' one hundred merchants become bank- rapt. No stronger evidence need be ad diced of the want of forecast and pm: deuce on the part of the class to which they belong. We may err, bet we can not resist the conviction that all calcula tion's of increased prices in other depart ments, predicated on the abundance and cheapness of farm products, must neces sarily- be misleading and injurious. Prices getter ally must go down, instead of up, and they ought to go down in con. alderation of the plentifulness of pro- visions. ; A healthy business may be done this fall, upon safe estimates. But whoevet lays himself out in anticipation of far ther inflation Will be' pretty certain to encounter loss.

In a moment more a mad bull, roaring and pawing the mai, came tearing down in the direc tion of the company of sports.
