NATIONAL EXPRESS AND TRANsPoR-
TATIoN COMPANY. the tenor of
q private letter received from Gene
raj Joseph +. Johnston, by all
officer of the National Express
and Transportation Company, in
Charleston the friends of the Com
pany may be assured that this dis
tinguished officer continues to feel
that profound interest in the company
which induced his original acceptance
of the Presidency.
Should he, at any future time, ac-
cept any position more congenial to
his tastes and requirements, it may be
regarded as an evidence that the
organization is in such successful
operation that his name and abilities
are no longer necessary to its sup
port. The reports connecting his
name with the Presidency of several
railroads are premature SO far as his
present intentions are concerned.
Even should he, at some future
period, be induced to accept the
Presidency of any one of the i'm
rcrtant railroad communications Of
the South, he would still use his
influence in sustaining the interests
of the National Exp ess This, how
ever, will not happen till the enter
prise is m assured .ccess

MY DEAR MADAM: have the honor
to acknowledge yours of the 14th in
slant, enclosing II check 70 be for
warded to Mrs. Davis, as q present
from the ladies of Fayetteville.
Sadly remembering how your
homes were desolated during the war,

the wants of those st q distance.
Nothing could add to my admiration
for the heroic, self-denying, Christian
virtues of my countrywomen, for the
measure was full to overfowing. No,
could anything increase the gratitude
with which I will ever recur to their
confidence and sympathy. 1t only
remains to assure you, and the ladies
whom you represent, that I am most
gratefully and respectfully you,
friend and obedient servant,

The MEETING Tomorrow have al
ready adv erted to the public meeting to be
held tomorrow. The ''truth Of history"
must be vindicated. We earnestly urge
that the whole people of our city shonid
be present on the occasion, and we sug-
gcst that business men shut up their
stores. and mechanics their work shops,
during the hour or two this meeting will
occupy.
We make another suggestion that per-
sons who were witnesses to any act OF
incen'liarsm on the part of Gen Sher-
mans army, should have their reports
written out, and, we think, under affidavit
it would be preferable. The Magistrates
of the city will take sach dispositions cheer
fully, and, in this way, the truth will be as-
ccrtained and believed
Attend to this matter to-day. Have all
yo'lr statements ready, and it will save Il

The METHODIST CHURCH "SourH."-
The Southern Methodist have recently
done a very sensible thing. They have
changed the name Of their organization.
Heretofore they have been known as the
methodist Episcopal Church South"
bn, as the war has destroyed that which
gave significance to the term "Soush" as
we'll as the cause for the distinction, they
have concluded to leave of the last word
Of the title.
The less we have hereafter Of terms
which are used to keep up a feeling OF
sec,ionalism in this country the better it
will be for US as q people and a nation.
The reunion Of the two great branches OF
the Methodist Church, North and South,
may now be regarded as only a question
of time. Nothing ever separated them
bu, slavery, and as slavery is now des-
,royed, they are certain, sooner or later,
10 come together again and be one Church.
True, the Southern Conference voted not
to entertain any proposition for e reunion
with the Northern branch Of the Church,
bu. tina. amounts to nothing. They will
think better Of it by and BY, and most
likely before very long.

THE EXTREME PoLIcY.-Mr. Shellabar-
ger, of Ohio, one Of the best debaters Of
the House, made q speech on Saturday, in
which he took the ground that the true
mode Of reconstructing the South is to dis
franchise all who voluntarily took part in
the rebellion, to try and hang the leaders,
and to place the State governments Of the
South in the hands Of the negroes and q
few whites who were loyal throughout
the war. He argued that the whites Of
the South had forfeited all rights Of citi-
zenship BY rebellion, and that 1t is the
right and duty Of Congress to disfranchise
them. He satlrically declared that this Is
the only scheme he can conceive Of for
healing the breach between the President
and Congress. Mr.. Boutwell,, Of this State,
agreed with Mr.. Shellsbarger that the
present State governments Of the South
are invalid, and on that account those
States have no right to representation in
Congress, however loyal may be the men
to represent them. Mr.. Boutwell, did not,
however, declare himself for the general
Acknowledgement Of the white men Of the
South. A good deal is made Of the fact
that some Of the original Union men OF the
South are in favor Of this scheme. As
they would be hardly sufficient In number
to hold the offices. and would thus become
the autocrats of their section for . gener-
alton, their motives are at least open to
the i~mpu.ation Of not being wholly disin-
terested. n ~ ag
The truth ID that there 10 nc expectation
on the part Of Mr.. Shellsbsrger. Mr.. Bout
well, or any Of that class Of men, that this
extreme policy will be adopted; that the
Southern State governments will DO wiped
out, and the work Of organizing anew will
be placed in the hands Of the negroes.
They would notyote for il themselves II
il were proposed. Why, then, should it
be so persistently put forth, and so zeal
ously advocatedi The only effect 10 to
keep alive the bad feeling in both sections.
Is there any good objec. to be accomplish:
ed by that Having secured justice to all
classes in the South. why not permit peace
and unity to be restored i-Sprin2fsH

Montana ConvonIon memorial.

SSaNCnhlOu
The late Territorial Convention which
assembled at Helena, Montana. forwarded
a memorial to Congress, on the resources
and prospects Of that Territory. gr
The memorial represents that Montana
containg 100000 square miles, embracing
100000 acres Of land, many of them
Of an auriferous and argentiferous char
acter.
The people Of Montana in Convention
assembled protest against Sherman's bill
for the survey Of the gold fields and the
sale Of ultimate tetle to them.
The Convention would ask and recon-
mend Congress to legislate upon the sub
joct, to the end that the mines and miner.
ais be thrown open to the occupancy Of all
citizens.
The memorial presumes that Montana
produced in 1865, not less than $20,0o0,-
900 of gold and silver, most Of which went
in dust to the Atlantic States and was
there coined, and the remainder to Cali
fornia, where it was run into bars or bull
lion and then shipped to Europe, imposing
a heavy loss on the people of the Terrific
~, o similar loss to which in future a
branch Mint in the Territory would save
The gold and silver product for this year
is estimated at 1885, 900, 900, and in Eve
years the annual yield will rival that Of
California-6fty millions.
In reference to agriculture, the memorial
says the fact is certain that cereals Of all
kinds and the coarser and more hardy
grasses mature fully in the Territory, and
confidently predicts that by 1868 the Ter
ritory will be self sustaining. It now
contributes annually one million of dol.
lars to Utah for -four. The future Of
Montana is regarded as brilliant, and the
same protection for her is asked as is
~vouchsafed to her Territorial sisters.
The memorial concludes with declaring
that the day is not far distant when Mon
tana will ask to DO admitted as a State,
with a full representation in the National
Councils.-Sak Lake TsLgrcph.

Radical Doctrines Abandoned.

RADICAL Doctf1n0o
The Chicago Republicans is modifying
it's "radicalism !" and it tones down to
moderate and sensible views in the fol-
lowing fashion (:
Universal suffrage is without doubt the
true principle, and no man can be deprived
of the elective franchise because OF his
color or nativity, without violating the
plainest truth upon which rests the theory
Of popular government. But the states
man who wishes to secure practical good
would be criminally false to his trust il,
in the struggle for popular rights, he
should reject those grand results which
are a%ttainable, because some other and
further end was not Immediately secured.
Six years ago, the idea Of admitting ne
groes to political privileges wal nearly as
Objectionable to the great mass Of the peo-
pie Of the North as it was to the slave
holding States themselves. The wal has
wrought immense changes. It has abol-
ished slavery, and raised to the condition
of freemen four millions who were hither-
to mere chattels. 1t has destroyed the
great power around which conferred every
thought, word, and policy hostile to the
continuance of the Union. II has bro.
ken down forever that interest which gave
to O minority the ability to arrest and
cripple the progressive industry Of the ma
ton. I, has e%mancipated Northern CAPT
tai and Northern industry and Northern
commerce., which henceforth will not be
controlled by the unyielding purpose
which shaped all things to the ~aggraudize-
ment Of slavery. American commerce
and manufactures are now free, and are
no longer the mere tributaries Of the pa
triarchal institution. q.
The emancipation Of the black race, and
their elevation 10 the condition Of free
men, has produced an universal demand
that they shall have and enjoy all the civil
rights which pertain to freemen /; but the
public mind has not sufficiently advanced
TO be ready with equal unanimity to OBJ
~literate the political determinations against
the negro race which have been almost
universal under the old system. Since
the close Of the war the question has been
tested in several States, and the popular
judgment, though showing considerable
progress, has uniformly been against the
political enfranchisement Of tho blacks.
To make unirsr,al suffrage a test 6stpssn
parties, to postpone or reserrs all other q4es-
tions in order that this ono issue may DO
tried before tho popular tribunal is to peril,
if not to lose, the ascsnIaney Of the Union
party, and to restore to popsr again tho
man, North and South, vho hare pross cuted

BANCROFT AND EARL RussELL.-The
memorial address which MI. Bancroft de-
livered in honor Of the late President Lin.
coin, seems to have attracted more atten-
ton in England than in this country.
Earl Russell saw ft to take exceptions to
some Of Mr.. Bancroft's structures upon
the neutrality" Of the British Govern
msns during the war, aud q correspon-
dence, Of about as much consequence as
the original address, has passed between
the parties upon the subject. Mr.. Ban
croft, in his address, said that 'the British
Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs
made haste to send word through the pal
aces Of Europe that the great Republic
was in agony, that the Republic was no
more; that q headstone was all that re-
manned due by the law Of nations to the
late Union !" Earl Russell takes excep-
tons t that language and attempts to
screen himself from the impu,asion which
il casts upon him. In return Mr.. Ban.
croft. practically rei,era,es his former Lam
guage, and proceeds to show, by sentences
embodied in the Earl's official letters,
tina, the latter characterized the United
States as "the late Union" the disrupted
Contederacy." "the late United States"
etc. BY these citation, Mr.. Bancroft not
only jus,i6es the language Of his address,
but he shows that he might have eharac-
,erized the conduc. Of Earl Russell in far
more emphatic language without over
leaping the bounds Of truth. He pins the
willy Earl down so closely that the latter
mus. feel the force Of the old adase, that
"a poor defence is worse than none"

of Massachusetts, has already passed
judgment upon the validity Of a deed hav-

Court considered that the absence Of the

questioned whether Congress intended so
to frame the Revenue laws. The Court
was Of, opinion that a United States
statute undertaking to invalidste an in.
strument which Is valid BY the laws Of

Government could impose q penalty for
not a%fixins the stamp. but could not make
the instrument worthless because the
