THE REMAINS OF CAPT. TOBIN.
ST. JAMES CHURCH, CHICAGO, I
January 80. 1866.

Rev. P. T. McELHERNE, ReU. and Dear
Sir:-On her arrival in this clty, last Nov,
Mrs. Tobin communicated to me her inten-
tion to start forth with to Grand Ecore, La,
for the remains of her late husband, Captain
John Tobin, and l Immediately submitted
her determination to the former officers of
the 58th Ill. Vols, who were the companions
of the late Captain Tobin, in the camp and
bivouac, on the march and battle field; and
these officers unhesitatingly concluded that
Mrs. Tobin should await the arrival of the
regiment (which was then expected home,
about last Christmas) for three season:
FSrst-Beoause it would be highly inde-
corous, if not entirely improper, to allow a
lady, rnaccompanied, to make such long
and perilous journey on the Red River, at
the commencement of winter.
Secondly-Because the Red RIVER is scarce
ly ever navigable in the winter, and any one
undertaking. such journey in this season OF
the year, should be provided with ample
funds (say at least S500) to meet all the con-
tingencies which night arise-suoh as trav-
cling overland from the mouth OF the Red
River to Grand Ecore, a distance lif i recol-
lect rightly of $50 miles. through a country
| recently desolated by our army, and where
special cenveyances can be procured, if a,
oil. with che greatest possible difficulty, and,
consequently. at exorbitant rates.
THirdly-The officers in this city and vi
cinity were unable to meet these necessary
and incidental expenses, and they determin-
ed, consequently, to appeal to the regiment
to aid them in contributing sufficient funds
to send a special delegate TO Grand Ecore for
the remains of Captain Tobin, aud thus ex-
onerate Mrs. Tobin from this very hazardous
journey.
At Christmas, the belief was entertained
amongst our friends in this city, that the
58th regiment would arrive in Springfield
during this month, and hence | have 50 long
postponed reply TO your enquiries; and
hence, also, has the good Mrs. Tobin been
persuaded, by our officers, to protract her
stay with her friends in this city.
have recently opened a correspondence
with the officers of the regiment, which 4 am
creditably informed is to be mustered out and
sent home next March, and l have every rea
son to believe and hope that they will bring
home with them to Springfield, H., the re
mans of Captain Tobiu or, if unable to dc
so, that they will contribute means amply
adequate to enable some friend to visit Grand
Ecore and bring them to Rock leland.
Mrs. Tobin has requested that You will be
kind enough to show this note to Col. Dan
forth, and let him also be good enough to jus
tify her. in the columns of his paper, for thls
apparently inconprehensible delay. The
fault certainly is not poor Mrs. Tobin's. but
thai of the officers of the 56th-and it would
be cruel and unjust to attach any censpre to
this good lady.
Most sffectionately,
Your friend,
P. j. 4. MURPHY.

The apology of the Moline Republican for

The apology of the Moline Republican for
it's personalities towards US is acceptsd-the
era of good feeling is restored. We regret,
however, that the editor of that paper cannot
find it consistent with his position as con-
ductor of an independent journal, to take de-
cidsd grounds upon the great questions now
agitatlng the country, and not undertake to
support President johnson and the radicals
at the same time. This he will find very
difficult two-horse act and in the effort he
may 60 to the ground between the two.
But he does answer one question. He says
he does not believe the war is ended. In this
he differs from President johnson, from Gems
Grant, Sherman aud others,-and from the
rebels, who have surrendered, everywhere,
and been disarmed. President johnson, IN
his annual message, said that resistance to
the general government appears to have ex-
hausted ITSELF" In another place,in the same
message, he says: ''But while l have no
doubt that mow after the close of the soar. it
is not competent for the general government
t, extend the elective franchise in the several
states" &c., &c. In another place, in the
same message, he says: ''Our domestic con-
test mow happily ended" &c., &c. 1t is not
necessary (though we could easily do SOY to
take up further time or space to show that
President johnson, Gems Grant, Sherman,
Lee, Johnston, and the whole armies, north
and south, and the great mass of people,
everywhere, differ from the Moline Repu6-
1ican-and that they believe the war IS end
ed.
ident Johnson's policy, and restore the I'm
ion? The reason is this The radical aboli-
ZIONIST were always disunionist; they were
the eause of the late war; they control the
republican party, and they don't mean that
the Union shall ever be restored, or that the
southern states shall enjoy their rights,as the
equals of any other states in the Union-cer'
tainly not until every white man, north and
south, will carry a niger on his back, by day,
and sleep with him by night. All republic
cans who are in favor of that policy had bet
ter stick to Stevens, Sumner & Co.-those
who are not, had better stand by Andy John.
sons reconstruction policy, as the democrats
do.
We are forced to conclude that the Moline
Republican,, and the Rock Island onion, go
the entire niggsr and are in favor of the pol
icy of Stevens, Sumner & Co. aud opposed to
the policy of President johnson. They have
an undou btsd right to be so. Bat, is it pat.
riotic is it ''loyal ?"

much better than we can do it, that we have

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1866.
Two months of the valuable time Of what
should have been, and what was universally
supposed to be, one of the most In. portan I
sessions of congress that has ever convened
since the foundation of our government, have
passed in history without forming even a no.
ticeable page. Like an erratic military

by a raid" upon the commanding generals
headquartsrs-Ieaving the all important pick
es line open to the incursions of the enemy
few, only a few, fame-lntoxicated individu-
ais have, since their arrival here, bent their
best energies to weakening, when they should
have supported, the head of the nation in this
the most difficult and trying period to the
civil and political management of the repub
hc, since 1t was started in its course anon q
the nations of the globe. Since the days
when the slave driver bullied and exhibited
his plantation manners upon the floors of
congress. we have not had such indications
of intolerance and disregard of free thought
and opinions as has been exhibited during
the past two months. Did q republican have
the audacisy to suggest that there was such
a thing going too far in restricting the
rights of states, or make a suggestion that a
state could not secede from the Union even.
or at least had not seeded, doctrine for
which the war was waged, and for which the
loyal people of the nation have been contend
ing for years-why, that man was at once
stigmatized as one seeking place under the
president. 1t is true that this has been the
conduct of but few. but they are sufficiently
noisy to appear like unto the many. The
few who are ambitious to become great lead
ers vie each with the other In an endeavor to
reach the acme of radicalism-(a and they have
nearly all succeeded in the latter ambitionl
regardless of the welfare of the Union or
the most common principles of common
sense; deeming, doubtless. that, at this time,
when hatred and prejudice are liable to hold
full sway, greatness would be measured by
their constituents IN accordance with the ex-
tent of their tsnaticism.
