: of 1888, when all parties were glad to
go back to the great principles Of the. up
rising of 1910. 1t was a reaction that
brought on the reign of terror in France, and
plunged all Europe in blood for twenty long
years. We are now practically at the end
of our revolution. We have reached its log
ical rcsults-freedom for all the Union, and
the equality of all before the law. The
country is comparatively quiet. All classes
are safe in life, liberty and property. We
now need only peace and time to recu-
perate. Things will settle down sooner
than we suppose. Old parties will dissolve.
New ones, more tolerant to all, will spring
up This is the spirit of the age Only
few years ago, we ourselves prescribed Cath
olics and Jews. The retribution has at last
come. But it can't last long. The logical
sequence to universal suffrage, is universal
amnesty, and with peace between sections,
races and classes, it will soon follow. Now
will the people risk all on, the cast OF die?
Will they, in reckless effort, to escape in
evitable but temporary burthens and evils,
incur even the chance of another war. and
invite us once more to the carnival ofblooda
Not civil hut an internecine war, which
will pale before the late gigantic struggle,

STANCES, vote the present Democratic pro-

and can at least respect and trust them
This cannot do with the Northern Democ-
racy. They encouraged our secession lead
ers into war and then deserted us-many of
them leading the Union armies against us.
The Republicans wa rned us against seces-
sion, and did only what they said they
would. 1t is small matter that, in such a
war as we have had, NEW men" should
turn up This is the course of all revolu-
tons. Half the patriots of 1776 were new
men. But our present nO0i honaines will prove
angels of light, compared to those who will
turn up by the end of our second or third
revolution, if counter revolutions once Set

On some accounts, prefer military
man. AS class they have few prejudices.
The soldiers of the two armies will be the
first to forget the unhappy past, and rejoice
together in the hopes of the future. Gen.
Grant was magnanimous to US in the sur
render. He has uttered no unkind words of
us. He has commended the noble quail
ties of the Southern army. He is neither a
negro-hater nor ro-worshipper. 1t can
now be only his ambition to restore the
Union he has saved, to restore it in all its
parts, its interests, its sympathies and its
aspirations. He will not only give US peace
and prosperity, but a Union we can love and
a government we can honor.

beg leave to occupy sufficient space in
the columns of your valuable paper, in or
der to answer an infamous correspondence of
days Sentinel. 1t is not now and never
has been my intention to notice the con-
temptible scandal mongers of the Conserva-
tive press, who for lack of political argu-
ment are driven to traducing and libelIing
the character of public men in the Republi-
can ranks, yet this cowardly (anonymous)
charge of official corruption demands pas
| sing word.
The Sentinel correspondent says:
MACON Co., Sept. 10, 1865
| You know that there are many copies of the
| laws, now being sent by the Secretary OF State,
| to the members of the General Assembly. They
are sent by mail. The postage should be "pre-
paid" So Think But they are all "tranked'
| by Deoeese, ". c. How is this, and why is IL
| What right has Deweese to frank matter from the
office of the Secretary of State? Has he any?
| Why does he do it? Is this the solution? Does
Deweese ''frank" all of Menninger's matter, and
then Menninger charge North Carolina fer pos

| Now, sirs, Pll bet high here is stealing opera
| ton on very small scale. But particles make
heaps. .r
The facts in relation to the mailing of
public documents from my office are as fol-
lows: Since the adjournment of the Legis-
lature over ten thousand pamphlets have
been mailed to members of the Legislature,
and the postage on all except some forty or
| fifty of them was prepaid by United States
stamps. During my absence from the city
last week. my clerk, thinking that the frank
ing privilege extended to 'Public Docu-
ments" of the State as well as the United
States, asked and obtained Col. Deweese's
| frank When l returned to the city imme
date offer was made at the Postofice to pay
for these documents, when my clerk was
| informed that the documents had already
been forwarded and no payment was now
required This is the only instance in which
documents were ever sent from the Office of
| the Secretary of State without prepay
ment of the postage.
In connection with this matter I have but
to regret that postoffice officials who scan
the mail for political capital and food, did
not sufficiently understand their duties, or
understanding them failed, for reasons of
their own, to enforce rigid observance of
the postal laws at the time of the alleged
violation. lna..
The Stntiners correspondent equals in ig-
norance his proficiency in manners. 1t is
well known that the Secretary charges no
postage at all, but simply makes requisition
for stamps The Public Treasurer makes
direct payment to the Postmaster in this
city. Respectfully,
.- Secretary of State.

General Grant, as compared with Heroes
of the Past.

.. of the Past. &.
Professor D. H. Mahan, of West Point, in
a communication to the Daily Times pays
the following deserved tribute to our next
President: afa.es J
The military renown of Alexander rests
upon his conquests of the unmilitary hordes
of the East by the largest and finest army, in
every respect that Greece, up to this time,
had produced; that of Hannibal rests upon
his successful passage of the Alps into Italy,
opposed only by the barbarous tribes on his
line of march, and, subsequently, by rash and
incompetent Roman Consuls; Caesars on his
conquest of the semi-barbarous and rebel
lious tribes of Gaul, and his subsequent de-
feat of the demoralized forces of Pompey.
Frederick the Great and Napoleon L of our
period, on their victories over armies greatly
inferior to theirs in discipline, and led by
generals incompetent from age and military
talent, while Grant has crushed one of the
most formidable rebellions, whether we re-
gard the numbers, the intelligence, or the
means engaged in it, that the world has ever
witnessed; and, as alleged by his detractors,
both at home and abroad, against leaders
superior to himself in generalship, against
troops superior to his own in chivalry, dash,
and all other fighting qualities; operating in
country every inch of which was thorough
| ly known to them, and rendered defensive
! by all the resources of nature and art skill
fully combined. And this he did by meas
ures Of which he was the originator, taking
for his own position the most important and
most difficult one of the work to be done.
