In the appendix TO Mr. Maynards recent
great speech in Congress, is q tabulated

herents Of the Lost Cause in Texas

close Of the War to the present The sta.
tistics as furnished in Mr. Maynard's speech
are as follows
Since the preparation and delivery o.
this speech an official report has come to
hand. dated June 80, 1868, made to the
constitutional convention Of Texas by its
committee on lawlessness and violence. Ii

Insult to Grant at 81. joseph.

gross insult wab offered 10 General Grant and
his party on the occasion of their passage through
st. Joseph The other dsy The crowd at the depot
on the Generals arrival was immense, and most
cordial and enthusiastic welcome was given TO him
A man named E. o. Hayes, having been filed
with whisky for the occasion, footed a horn and
others cheered for Seymour and hooted and howled
in the most boisterous and insulting manner. As
soon the excitement subsided little, Gen. Sher-
man spoke as follows General Grant and myself
know how to appreciate any spirit of respect, but
neither he myself are to be disconnected by any
large crowd. We are used TO large crowds, and we
cannot be Disconnected Gen. Grant has declined TO
make speech, and think-occupying the position
he does before the country-he acts the part of wis.,
DOM
Here some one called for three cheers for Blair,
and the cheers of the ruans and the groans of the
loyal people interrupted the General for some time
AS soon as partial quiet was restored, Gen. Sherman
said " Gentlemen, do not in general counsel vic.
lence but, were 1 a citizen of st. Joseph would
take that man referring to the one who commenced
the Disturbance down to the Missouri river and
duck him. We have fought rebels, and we thought
they had enough Of lighting" This sentiment
called out prolonged and hearty cheers and the
General, finding no could not be heard further, re-
tired.
A ST. Louis dispatch says in connection with the
above:
The old rebellious spirit of 1861 is grooming ont
in many parts of the State, and there viii be lively

Rebel Courtesy.

A fine instance Of rebel courtesy and chivalry is
given in Bsdesus Military History Of the Life of
Ulysses S. Grant a work that has attracted a
world wide attention. II s the product Of scholar
and soldier. One Of our ablest statesmen says
that 20 one who reads Badeaps book can doubt the
extraordinary capacity of Gen. Grant, and his emil
nent fitness for civil administration" But to the
extract, descriptive Of Grants interview with the
rebel generals after he had whipped Pem5erton at
Vicksburg Gen Badeau says
He went direct 10 one of the rebel headquarters,
but the-e was no one TO receive him, and he dis
mounted and entered the porch, where Pemberton
sat with his generals; they saluted Grant, but not
ono ef them offered him chair, though all had
seats themselves. Neither the rank nor reputation
of their captoT nor the swords he had allowed them
20 wear prompted them to this simple act Of cOur-
tesy. Petnborton was especially sullen, beth in
conyelsation and behavior Finally, for very shame
one Of the rebels offered place 70 Grant. The day
was ihot and dusty; he was thirsty from his ride,
and asked for a drink of water. They told him be
could find it outside and, no one showing him the
way, be CROPPED in passage until he found negro,
who gave him cup Of cold water only which his
enemy had almost denied. When he returned his
seat had been taken, and he remained standing du-
ring the rest Of the interview, which lasted about
half an hour.

The Board of Stewards of the NJ. u.

DEAR SIR Cant you give US two Dol

The members of the Methodist Church
South, in Chattanooga, are struggling to
build House of Worship We have been
made poor by the war. Many of our
homes were burned up or otherwise de-
stroyed, and our little Mountain City liter
ally laid waste. Our church building was
destroyed and even the lot on which il
stood was converted into military fort
This building is a necessity-an absolute
religious ReceSSity-and with this conviction
it is undertaken The full amount neceg-
sary to complete it cannot be raised here
some Of il must come from abroad. Small
contributions from many persons will aid
us very materially.
We, therefore, appeal TO your generosity
for help. Remember, "God loveth cheer

Loyalty In Memphis.

a large and enthusiastic Union meeting
was held in Memphis on the Sd inst, at
which the following resolutions were adop-
JUd
| ReS0lyed, That the robbing colored men
| Of their arms and money, the forcing them
/ by threats and violence to swear that thew
will vote for Seymour and Blair, the COM
binations and threats of rebels to vote in
defiance of the laws and without registra-
ton, the threats they make of violence and
murder against their opponents, and es-
pecially if the militia bill shall become a
law, and all the terrible outrages of which
they are guilty, are 80 many terrible evil
dences OF the necessity of q law which will
provide the means for calling out proper
military force for the maintenance of law
and order, and to preserve tho peace of So
elety whenever and wherever it shall be-
come necessary, and that the power of
Judging when this has become necessary
should properly be vested in the Governor.
We therefore earnestly call upon the Leris-
lature to provide by law promperly for
such force as my be needed, to be armed
organized and called into service in the dis
crotiOn Of the Governor, who shall have all
needful authority TO make them efficient in
protecting the life, liberty and property of
every citizen Of Tennessee.
RESOLVED, That the charges so often and
SO fippantly made by the Democratic press
Of this city, that negroes arc armed and
drilled IN our loyal leagues or elsewhere. or
have been, arc utterly false and without
particle Of foundation. That colored men
have precisely the same right to carry arms
as other citizens and neither more nor Iese
That no man has any right to carry them
for offensive purposes, though in these
times OF violence and murder, for which
our opponents are mainly responsible. Il
may be sometimes unhappily necessity to
carry them for purposes of self defense.-
That our teachings to eolored men on all
occasions have been peaceful obedience 10 he
!a~s! We pledge ourselves and our party
IN good faith to the maintenance of peace
and good order in society, and we challenge
our opponents to be as peaceful, as quiet
