In the parapraphs preceeding this extract, the Republican states that the reason that the Presi dent desires the signation of the Secretary is a difference of political feeling; and is horrified at the partizan. feelings shown, by Mr. Johnson. We should be gratified at this sentiment if the acts of the editor of (he Republican were in con formity with it; but is such the case ? . Does ' the editor remr mber that the present appointed board, of . the city, which he is a member, turned out all the appointees . of the late elected board? And was not this because of the City Marshall, City Clerk and City physician, were gentlemen who differed from him in politics ? We believe that it was. Why is it that he how feels so differently? The reason is plain : Secretary Stanton is of the same shade of politics as himself, and when one of them is removed a howl runs through the Rad ical camp, and the inevitable word, "disloyalty,' is hissed through all their teeth. : : ; ,. j.

From the last : issue ofthat cauer we extract the foIlowSig, givSng.t5 writer's opinion of that class of persons uv tha-South who now; claim to beithe especial friends of the Union. Whoever may be. the writer, his travels have not been unprofitable, and he is not , by any ; means the dullest of observers; He says : . .

That here were many honest and true Unionists in every State of the South I know full well ; - but, I aho know that the men who came 1 forward to repre sent them were, in almost every; instance, crea tures oi circumstance or the merest poltroons, who fled from one cause to the other because they did not get pap enough at one side and needed Sroteetion at the other. T Such was Holden, of orth Carolina. Men like Botts and Brownlow are not in the category : for they never sought. as the others did, to obtain some sort of office in the Confederacy and failing in that to Tebel against it - The -destruction of the Confederate archives is a vast loss to the country. Had I ac cess to them now, I could show, you that the most zealous Unionists, upheld since the war, were morejzealous Confederats : anheoutset of tne war, and waxed limber as their pretensions were not recognized. Here let me parentheti cally observe that the true test of manly hones ty was real loyalty to either, side. , To your so called Unionists this test cannot be successfully applied in on&ont of a hundred cases, i . -. . "lake it thus from extreme points. -. Office aspirants like Jack Hamilton, of the Lone Star State, and Hoi Jen, of the North Star State, and you have them ' nil included within the qualities of these two t"i tor stars. Who, once On a time, were greater feecessiontsts than they were? None. Why did they cease to be zealots, . or seeminj? zealots, at the Dixie side? Because it did not 'pay;" because their personal chances appeared to be far better at any other side; because, their own section contemned them. ; Hamilton could not get a "corporals guard" to uphold .him in Texas; Ho Iden could not get a haif guard (exr eept to consign him to a guard house) to aid or abet him in Noith Carolina, Wherefore? The people were weary beyond expression ot such any-side and every. 6ide men.

When the Secretary of State decided to send a very - flimsy man, though a leading politician,on a diplomatic errand, that man usually became a Unionist From the in stant of refusal to better his position he became foe of the ''lost cause. " So; it was when the head of any other department declined acquies cing in the appeals of "original secessionists" to have theiriciaims lor the crumbs of omce du- y recognized. ' Thus it happened that while the ; Unionist janks got their foremost recruits, mainly, . from tse disappointed propagandists ot disunion, the Confederacy won its best Upholders from the class of men who withstood,' as long as practicable, the suasions of the separatists. Bueh wen as H ihningsen; however, were not mere place-seek ers. - They were, as they comprehended the idea. patriots. No insolence of the throne, or intrigue of the power behind the throne, could make them swerve from tne eanse. wnen vvigiali, Toombs, Cobb, Pryor, Floyd and the like yea,: even Foote, of Tenneseee became enemies of the throne, they did not cease to be friends of the cause, it was only tne lndunitaDiy mean men who deserted Lone and the other; of such an equivocal amaleam was that class known as Unionists.

Caeqneaee of WrU m Kew Ilat. The following queer , story is copied from the conespondenee of the Chicago Tribune : Let me ' relate an adventure of an honest Frenchman; , from , the rural districts, s had, not many days since. About three weeks ago ii well dressed gentleman, speaking French with 4 deci dedly English accent, entered a hatmaker shop on the old Boulevards,' and left an order for six stiff-brimmed hats. ' He wanted them made alike a model of a peculiar shape; which he brought with him, and to be trimmed with a ribbon of a certain color. He left a separate measure for each. . j The order was executed and called; for by the stranger. The hatmaker, thinking that the hats were ai fashion just come out in London and that there might be a demand of the same sort, had manufactured two j additional ones. These he placed in the show-case, which he had at the Exposition, duly labeled, "the latest En glish style." Well ithe honest Gallic country man referred to, who bad come to Paris with his spouse to see the wonders of the Champ d Mars, happened 1 to pass the window, saw the hats in tho show-case, and taking a lancy to them bought one oil the spot -The next day, while saunter ing through the .Palace: with his better half, .adorned with his new headgear, an unknown individual, suddenly .rubbed sgsiristr bim, whispered some unintell'gible words an his ear, and : then ' rpidly passed on. The Frenchman did 'not know what to make of it. -but finally - came to the conclusion that the stranger had made a mistake, land continued his walk. , After a while he felt like giving his nose the habitual tickle with a dose of snuff, and put his hand in his outer pocket for his box. ' S To his astonishment he felt another object besides the latter. .He pulled it out, and loj he beheld a fine gold watch and chain. Puzzled (beyond measure by the discovery, he made for ajpohce man wham he noticed near by, and told him his adventure. .The latter smiled significantly, and told him that be thought he . understood the ease, and Invited him to go to the police head- .quarters in the periphery of tho Palace. 'On en-' terms tnoyoom 01 me -Jommssaire, the nrst person he saw:. was the individual that had ac costed him so unceremoniously a few tfrfnutes before, wearing, an : he now observed, an exact counterpart to hi hat - Th 'Oommiaaaire" soon solved the mystery for him.' The! fellow with the fac-simile hat was a member of I band of FngliA pickpockets who bad adopted the pe culiar style of head cover for better mutual recog nition. Seeing the Frenchman's hat, but not his face, be thought he was one of the band, and slipped the watch he had just stolen in his pock et for safe keening. A few minutes later ho was caught in the act of trying to steal another watch, and immediately conducted to tho-Com- missaire s office.
