A MOST REMARKABLE LETTER-We publish on the
outside of this weeks issue most remarkable letter,
written by one Rev. Mr. Waldro Of Chicago, to Ten
nessee paper the relative bearing of the Mehodsts
North to their brethren Of the South. 1t has more
the appearance of the handwork of wild fanatic than
that of a christian in brotherly love. He takes the
ground that all government is based on the religious
ideas of those who carry it on and that the Northern
Methodists have acquired by conquest the right to
control the religion of the South He moreover holds
that it is just as wrong to allQw the Southern Aeho-
dsts to meet and worship at all it would be to allow
Lee or Johnston to call together and drill their dis
banded armies. He says the religion of the North is
bound to rule this continent. subjugated people,
he says have more right to apply their own peculiar
moral ideas than to use their physical implements of
var. But enough of this. Read the letter, show it
the freedmen and explain its purport to them that
they may understand what their religious friends in
the North think of US ALL black we'll as white. The
perusal of it will repay the most casual reader.

THE LAFoURcHE"" TIME What it SHggests.-The
steamer Lafourche, under charge of that skifu and
experienced boatman, Capt Ben. Kouns, made her
late trip from New Orleans to this city in the unpre
cedented time of fy-four hours and flty-three min
utes being so far as we now know, the fastest time
on record From the card of her passengers, and she
had fine list, it is shown her gallant captain won
golden opinions; and when we consider the impor
of the packet system to shippers and Travellers
its convenience and the quick time that be made
and recall that it mainly due to the enterprise of
Capt. B. that the weekly packet system initiated,
it is pleasant to add that the freight list of the La
fourche brought golden returns. We congratulate
Capt. Kouns upon the handsome card Of appreciation
from such source, upon his speedy trip and its pay
ing character. We hope next season, our liberal boat
men will join in a movement, and, embracing a num-
Der OF fine steamers the Bart Able, the National
the Hodge apd Others be as packets leaving at reg
nlar times Of sufficient tunnage, power and speed to
do our entire business. They would be public con-
venience.

Hsw the Democracy treat General Grant.
How cordially the Democracy treated the
Rebels who came to the New York Conven-
ton is now a matter of history. How cordial
ly the Democracy treat the soldiers who con-
quered those Rebel generals is told In the fol.
lowing extract from the Springfield Journal.
The british, devilish spirit which possesses
the so-called Democracy was fully manifested
on the occasion of the passage OF Gen. Grant
through Carlnville the other evening That
party, under the auspices of that prince of
low fellows, Bill O'Brien, had been holding a
political meeting in the town during the day :,
and, nlled with bad whiskey, when they heard
that Gen. Grant was upon the train they
started for the depot, several hundred strong,
and, taking possession of the platform and
surrounding the generals car they set upon
him with the most uneartbly yels aud screech-
iDgs, insulting him and his family in the most
dastaTdIy and shameful N amer. The fellow
O'Brien, whose manners are as filthy as he is
himself personally. was 1oudest and foremost
in egging on the drunken mob. Gen. Grant
had raised the window of the car for the pur-
pose OF shaking hands with some friends
whom he r.-cognized, when one OF the dirty
hounds, more impudent than the rest, rushed
to the window and shouting "Hurrab for Sey-
mour and Blair, violently struck Gen. Grant
in the face with his hat. DIR, Mcdonnell, who
was ccpversing with the general at the time
resented the indignity bv giving the fellow
blow on the side OF the nose, which sent him
sprawling, aud Lieut. Mckee and others at
once kicked him Of the platform. This, how
ever, only the more licensed the Copperhead
mob, aud though it was intended by the de-
cent citizens Of the place to extend to the gen.
eral who had successfully Jed our armies
through the war some indication OF their per-
sonal, not to say political appreciation OF his
services, it was found to be utterly impossible
to do so, and the train passed on -.ratI -7
The hyenas, with O'Brien at their head, who
perpetrated the insult, were highly delighted
with their disgraceful performances, but the
respectable citizens of Carl nvile, without re-
gard to party, were exceeding indignant that
suce reproach should have been cast upon
the good name oftheir town; and we are not
astonished. 1t is certain that the Democracy
has gained nothing by their bad manners. -

A BOLD ASSERTION OF FRAUD.-Ia it's last
issue the Zeitung has an editorial congratu-
rating the German residents of Charleston on
their action during the late Municipal election.
1t draws comparison between those foreign
crs who had made their franchise matter Of
profit and not Of principle, and the German
population, who, with one exception, voted the
Lesesne ticket. The solitary instance referred
to was so German storekeeper, a disgrace to
the Fatherland," who, it states, had openly
boasted of the fraud he had perpetrated at the
election, by which he had cleared five hundred
dollars. Sev5nty-five negroes were brought
from the islands and stabbed in his yard, being
kept under close surveillance until the day OF
the election, when they gave plumpers for
Pillsbury. IF the Zeitung can produce any
evidence that can convict the recreant Ger
man. it should be furnished ,at the protest
trial, o. it might affect the decision.
