WHAT BECOMES OF THEIR LETTER

WHAT BECOMES OF THEIR LETTERS.
Persons who think of applying to
Gen. Grant for any Office for them
selves or others, will do we'll to read
the following account of how the Gen
erals correspondence is conducted
It is from a Washington despatch to
the Boston Journal:
Letters and Geographic dispatches
from all parts OF the country are pour
ing in on him. Most OF the writers
claim to have been original Grant
men and want an office. 1t may be
interesting to such persons, as well as
to the country at large, to know that
all letters are opened 10y one of the
staff officers, aud those asking for of
ices Or money are destroyed as soon
as their purp0rt is ascertained. This
morning about three hundred letters
were on hand. The staff officer
charged with the duty of opening got
along with his work at the rate of
about one per minute. Of the first
hundred opened General Grant did
not look at single one. About
twenty relating to army affairs or
private soldiers matters were reserv-
ed for further examination, while the
seventy-iye or eighty from office-seek-
erS were at once torn into pieces and
thrown into the waste-pape basket.
These persons, therefore, who pro-
pose writing about that little post-of,
fee, or assessorship may as we'll save
their time, paper, ink, and postage
for letters, whether marked private,
personal or confidential" will in
variably be destroyed by the staff Off
fcer whose duty it is to examine them
and Gen. Grant will not even know
that they have been received. He
has nothing to do with office giving
until next spring: and does not intend
to be bored with the matter until il
is necessary that he Shonld be.

written on the 10th Of January, 1864,
General Grant says: e, -. s..
I'm your letter you say that s. have'it
in my power to be the next Presideht.--
This is the last thing inathe world de-
sire. IWould regard such q coniumma-
tion as being highly unfortunate for my
self, if not for the country.
This is certainly an honest and candid
confsssion.s Andwe opine the people viii

tion to the Presidency would be- sshighly
unfortunate S. both for himself and the
country, and as it is sssthef last thing I'D

The Negro Superior to the Irish
man. -
Our cotemporsry Of the Cincinnati
Chronicle is a good exponent Of the feel
ing in the Republican party. It prefers
the negro to the white man from abroad.
In its issue of Tuesday it says:
"This is trying ireland by the Irish
rule. Paddy Whack echoes the Demo
cratic cry of "a white mans government,
on the ground that the negroes are not
capable of self-government. We will not
be guilty of uttering the atrocious senti-
ment that says a negro is better, or as
good, as an Irishman, but we will say,
without fear of successful contradiction,
that in all the qualities going to make up
good citizenship the negro, is the superb
or. In this, the ignorant negro has the
advantage of an educated Irishman, if
we abide by the base, built understhe
Republic by the fathers, as its founda-
tion, which is made up of virtue, as well
as intelligence, in the citizen, and exhib-
its itself in a, recognition of law and q
support Of order" a'-
Irishmen, repel that insult at the polls
by finging it back into the teeth Of the
scoundrelly Radical party from whence il
came.

VIII Grant Resigni

In 1864, when Gen. Mcclellan was The
Democratic candidate for President, he
rendered his resignation as Major Genera
in the Regular Army, on the 9th day Of
November, the day Of The election, "to
either become President of the United
States or q private citizen ~
President Lincoln ordered the resigna,
ton accepted to date the 9Th day of No
vember, 1864. .fs.as

their candidate for the Presidency, the
General Of the Armies Of the. United
States. Will Grant follow the example
of Mcclellan, or will he cling tohis Gen
eralship and $4,000 year2
| The example of Mcclellan was noble
one, and it is not probable that Grant will
initiate it. 8

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN OF HATE
AN INcENDIARY THREAT.


AN INcENDIARY THREAT.
The opening of the Radical campaign
in this city, in behalf Of Grant and Col,
fax. was an ominous one. A meeting was
gotten up which was intended to illus
trate the enthusiasm with which the nom
nations were received; and to give the
signals and watchwords of the assault
upon the Democracy.
-. Everything seemed suspicious to a
great meeting. The Rev. DR.. Breckin
ridge was solicited to open the campaign.
He had presided overthe Baltimore Con-
vention which nominated Lincoln and
johnson, and his name was relied upon
to give character to the new, demonstra-
ton.
DR.. Breckinridgo not only made par
tisan speech at the behest of a political
committee invoking the name of God
repeatedly to give it pious air--but in
his zeal he overdid the work. Pointing
out how in the future, New England and
the South would have little to do in di-
recting the politics Of the country, which
would be in the hands of the great Mid.
die States reaching to the West, and par
ticularly New York, he said that aNev
York must be redeemed from the dis
grace she had brought upon herself last
fall" He alluded to the city Of New
York as containing 50, 600 Roman Cath;
Iolic voters, whom he denounced as the
cause Of the Radical defeat; and he said
the State must be redeemed, even If tt
do so New York had to. be burned to iht
groundl 81, ..,..z,sFs ee5l,s ,4s
At the close of his remarks the audi
ence arose, to their feet and gave him !
hearty round Of cheers, followed by an
other for the ticket. a7sat saa ~
A war of sects is to follow. "a war o
sections, and The spirit of. hate that ha
swept over the country, blasting its field
and blighting human lives, is to be inyo
ked to q new career. Not State agains
State, but family against family, an,
brother against brother are to be armet
for the encounter, which these blood
hounds of Zion are tbaying on. sas
There are hundred thousand Romal
Catholic electors in the Union who hag,
never voted the Democratic ticket Their
are hundreds of thousands more VIII
would realize thatin war of religion
hatred they would soon be vietimsl Blu
there is another aspect Of the case, whicl
this reverend zealot probably has no
contemplated.
| The persons who would be most apt :
defy such an onset would be the Roma
Catholic clergy. What they fear is no
outward persecution, but indifference
within. In the laxity which our fire
system offers, the flock is apt to wande
from the fold. Let the cry of DANCE
come, and they can be recalled. Nothin
so tends to intensity the sentiment Of
sect as persecution. That athe bloc
Of the martyr is the seal Of the church
is as true o. one religion as another.
