Three years thereafter the lands are
advertised as forfeited for taxes; and,
unless the old town treasurers' tax re.
ceipts are shown at the office of Clerk
of Board, that officer will deed them
after which you will find it very
expensive, indeed almost impossible,
to save your land frem forfeiture. A
list OF forfeited lands now appears in
the Herald, and you had better see
that your lands are not so advertised.
You need not take the trouble to WIS.,
it Lancaster to procure corrections.
Just send in your receipts b. letter
to S. f. elise, with letter asking
him to make things right. We are
reminded Of these points by talking
with man lately from one Of the
western towns who accidentally saw
his lands advertised az forfeited, af-

for twenty years, and having receipts
therefor.

name for integrity, fidelity and trust

as existing in the former man, the

his way to the tomb. A few others

sickness The funeral was not SO
largely attended as might have been
expected, considering that an honest
man was to be mourned and entomb-

letter from General Longstreet.

New ORLEANS, La, Friday, June 4 1867.
To the Editor of the Ne,e Orleans Times:
In your paper. of yesterday 1 notice the
following paragraph, viz: "There is an
other very extraordinary case exhibited in
the publication of letter from one of the
bravest and stoutest Of the late Confederate
generals, who gives in his adhesion to a
party whose whole policy seems to be one
of vindictive persecution and abuse of his
late confederates in arms"
/ think this paragraph is calculated to
mislead the public as to my views and mo-
tives. If nay letter had been published with
the structures, I should have had no cause
of complaint Or if you had explained
that Its whole tenor was expressive of de-
sire to relieve my late confederates in
arm" of the unnatural condition in which
they. have been placed By the progress Of
reroIQtioa, | should offer no complaint or
explanation upon your comments.
I am ceR satisfied that order cannot be or
qdnized ont of confusion as long as the con-
fictistq interests Of teco parties are to be sub
Ssfeed. The iear gdS made upon Republican
issues and it seems to me fair and just that
the settlement should be male decofdinoEu.
This conviction, together with the views
expressed in my letter, and your invitation
in March last, to express my opinions upon
politics, are my excuses for speaking and
for making the concessions that I think
due, and for offering my counsel to the
people. e}
IF l understand the object Of politics, it
is to relieve the distress Of the people and
provide for their future comfort. The
course that | advise will be sure to meet
this view and do justice to all. In times of
great case and comfort should not presume
to interfere with politics, no matter what
technicalities orspecial pleadings might be
adopted by parties. But these are unusual
times and call for practical advice.
If the paragraph that have quoted had
reference to nay letter, ask that you will
do me the favor to publish this and my
letter as soon as you may find convenient
space for them.
remain, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant, JAMES LoNesTREET.

"specie or its equivalent" Harris gold
makes a bad lhow by Gov Brownlow's 8
greenbacks. That paper says:
The people Of Tennessee are groaning
under the taxes imposed upon them, and
are compelled to take greenbacks at par for
whatever may be owing to them, or they
may. have to sell. ~ =
Then why did Harris thrust his hands
into the strong boxes of the State Bank and
take out gold to pay 3 salary to which be
was not entitled; when the Tennessee troops
in the rebel army were receiving their hard
earned pay in Confederate money? Was
that money good enough for the soldiers
who were fighting to put Harris back in
Nashville, but not coed enough for Harris
himself? Did the rebel leaders take gold
from the people and pay the people who
fought for them in Confederate rags? Out
on such bogus Democracy May its shadow
never again darken the State House.-Press

1
Gen. J. d. c. Atkins SrR-The object Of
my note Of last evening was not to raise a
new issue, nor to ask reparatlon for any in
jury but to ascertain what kind Of answer
your letter was entitled to. The infornla-
ton asked, you cannot OF ct least DO not
give. I shall therefore make no reply as
due TO you, but justice to myself requires
that my speech should not be misunderstood
by you. I send you pamphlet copy OF the
speech, from which you will see there is a
typographical error in the extract you send
me, which changes considerably the aniaats
of the speech in reference to you. The sole
object Of the branch Of my speech from
which you quote, was 70 account for the
missing coin. And the object of referring
to your transaction with the bank was be-
cause that accounted for part of it. And
the reason for charging your presencewhen
the boxes were opened, was TO show that
you knew that the coin had been resorted to
by the bank officers for different purposes,
and consequently that you had no right to
make or repeat the charge against the State
officers My authority for assuming your
presence when the kegs and boxes were
opened, are the papers found in one Of the
boxes. The letter from Fisher to Fiippin
directs him to pay the coin to you, not your
order, or 10 bearer. Your note and receipt
being found in the box, 1 could not doubt
your prrsence when the box was opened T;
nor do | suppose you care for the difference
between being present by yourself or by
your agent So far as this transaction is
concerned, the borrowing of the coin from.
the bank, and being present when it was
obtained and paid to you, is the extent of
the charge / intended to make. That it was
business transaction on your partI do not
doubt, but such business transaction as
estops you from charging this same coins to
others. a
make this statement in Justice 20 my
self, but will be gratifed if it shall prove
satisfactory to you.

engagement made several weeks since, but

H'Do'Rs PosT No. 40, G. A. r.,
Toledo. Ohio, June 10th. 1867.

/ WHEREAS, The loyal people Of the conn-
try have learned with deep sorrow of the
release by the Federal courts of jefferson
Davis, the man who, while yet enjoying the
honors of his Government, engaged in a
vast conspiracy for its overthrow; who be-
came its leader when it had developed into
q gigantic rebellion, and who is directly re-
sponsible for the destruction Of life and
property which attended its progress the
unparalleled cruelties and atrocities which
rendered its conduct odious in the eyes of
the world, and for the widespread ruin and
misery which IL entailed upon the whole
country therefore, be it, by this Post of
the Grand Army of the Republic,
Res6Lrsd, That Jefferson Davis, by the
commission of these great crimes, has ac-
quired one, and only one right, which, as
we are taught by thewisdomof all civilized
nations, is the right 70 be hung.
Resolved, That as compared with the
brutalities praeticed in compliance with bis
order upon such soldiers of the Republic as
fell into his hands, the regal manner in
which he was treated by our Government,
affords reason for profound indignation,
rather than ground for complaint
ReSolced, That those who have prostitu-
ted their official position to prevent justice
being meted out to this arch traitor, deserve
the condemnation of all loyal citizens.
ResolUed, That Horace Greeley, by his
action in uniting with rebels and Copper
heads in setting at liberty Jefferson Davis,
! the greatest criminal of the age, has forfeit
ed an claims to leadership, and rendered
himself unworthy the confidence of the
loyal people Of the country and that he
and those who with him defend Misconduct,
/ deserve, and should receive, the stern re-
4 bake of all soldiers and patriots. .trsft
/ RtSoIced That inasmuch as in the history
/ Of this Republic no one has ever been pun.
ished for treason, and as in the case of JEFF
lferson Davis an indictment has been pre-
sented demanding action by the courts
therefore, we declare that now is a suitable
| time for a proper judicial tribunal to estab-
lish, for the benefit Of future ages, an exact
definition of the great crime Of treason, and
pronounce sentence on the guilty.
Resolred, That If jefferson Davis, aiteI
having perpetrated crimes so atrocious
shall fnally escape the just penalty Of the
4 Law, the Government will thus offer high
premium for treason, brand as q lie the
! Charge that he and his colleagues were reb.
els, and will in effect say that he Fhc
slaughters his eountrymen by thousands SC
1 that it be done under cover Of or while
waging a rebellion, is guilty Of 10 ofsnss
for which he should be punished.
ReSolred, That we call upon soldiers geB-
erally throughout the State to unite with nE
in giving expression upon these topics
