LETTER OF JUDGE DENT TO
GENERAL GRANT.

The following is an extract from a
letter written by Judge Dent, of Missis-
sippi, in reply to one received from
President Grant in the early part of the
present month. President Grant, in the
letter referred to, gave his reasons for
casting the weight of his influence in
favor of the radical party in Missis-
sippi, and it is to that part that Judge
Dent replies, thus
SIS it reasonable to suppose that a
people having the free choice of their
representatives would elect for their ru-
lers class OF politicians whose aggres-
sive and hostile conduct hitherto has
| renusreu Uuern pecunarIy OBNOXIOUS ana
disagreeable ? This is the charge made
by the people of Mississippi against the
radicals, or bitter enders,' as they are
called.
This charge is not made because they
fought against the South and secession,
for many of that class fought on the
side of the South. 1t is not made be-
cause they are of Northern birth and
education, for many men of Northern
birth and education and of the North
ern army are with us in antagonism
to this obnoxious party. It is not be-
cause they are republicans, for their an
tagonists were among the first in the
South to organize on the republican
platform and to advocate the civil and
political equality of all men, Were sent
as delegates to Chicago, and for their
consistency and constancy were award
ed by you with Offices of trust and
honor.
But this charge is made, as l have
said before, because the proscriptive
antecedents and aggressive policy OF
these politicians towards the people of
Mississippi have made them the oh
jects of peculiar adherence. That poll
cy consists not only in the continual ad
vocacy of prescription, but in a time of
profound peace, such revolutionary doc
trines as excite and direct against the
white men of the South and their fami.
lies most danger us animosity, such
animosiIy indeed which, with continual
ton of the same fuel, would inevita bly,
lead to black mans party and war
of races.
"Nether are such doctrines preached
with an honest desire to ameiorate the
condition of the freemen or promote the
ends of peace or strengthen the repub-
lican party in the South, but solely to
ALLEVIATE from the planter the time-hon-
ored confidence and affection of this race,
in order that the new political element,
under the banner of republicanism'
might be entirely controlled and subor-
dinated to their own purposes of power
and aggrandizement; and to this class
of men whom you foilei in their attempt
to force upon. the people of Mississippi
the odious constitution, rejected at the
ballot-box, you now give the hand of
friendship and support, and spurn from
you that other class who, accepting the
invitation of the republican party in
good faith, came en- masse in Virginia
and Tennessee, as they will come in
Mississippi and Texas, to stand upon
its platform aud advocate its principles. !"

VOTE OF THE STATE.
rHEFALL TRADEINDRY GOODS

The general complaint of our mer-
chants is that the fall trade is late this
year, The same thing, however, has
been said at this time for the last five
years, and it is owing to the natural
change the whole country has UNDER
gone and is daily undergoing. On this
SUP ect the New York Post remarks:
Railroads are annihilating distances,
the telegraph annihilates time, and the
remote western or southern merchant
no longer must hurry to the seacoast in
June to lay in his fall and winter stock.
A great change has also come over the
business customs of Southern States
since the war. Ten or twelve years
ago it made hardly any difference to
the Southern merchant whether the
planters had a good, bad or ind fferent
crop, so far as laying 10 goods was con
cerned. His stock must be bought,
and if the planter had no cotton he had
credit, with either the merchants or his
own commission agent, while the
Southern merchant also had credit here,
and used it too.
Gall this has since changed. Credit
is no longer the sole life of the southern
trade, and it is Therefore natural that
the merchant should require an as
sured prospect Of sales, such as he can
only lind in good crops, before he
makes large purchases. Western mer
chants are also, in the same way, more
anxious OF late to cut the garment ac-
cording to the cloth; hence the fall
trade is necessarily retarded until more
is known of the prospect Of the crops.
"Tnus far our information goes to
show that the southern States will, as
whole, be prosperous, not only in rails
ing good crop, but in getting very
full prices for their produce. The west
ern farmers now have every reason to
expect bountiful harvest and fair
prices, particularly if they are not mis-
led, as they were last year, into hoard.
ing produce for a higher market.

BGg The unre!iability of the tele.
graphic dispatches was fully illustrated
in our leading article of yesterday. We
might remark upon the depravity and
reckless cruelty of those who would
throw whole community into conster-
nation for party purposes. Whether
these weak and shallow "devices of the
enemy" sprung from Radical or Bour-
boa sources, we now have no means o.
determining. We regard both these
factions in Virginia as opposed both to
President Grants administration and to
the reconstruction ofthe State. But we
have dem onstrated, over and often, the
mendacity of these vipers who "bite a
file." We have the utmost confidence
in President Grant. His pledges to the
people of Virginia will be kept; and,
therefore, the action of Congress will be
in accordance. No such bar as the
"test oath" which we have had liberty
to "vote down." will stand in the way
of Virginia's restoration to the Union.

itals, and announce it's defeat. But
that is a joy they will never be able to
enter into. The fat has gone forth
the "new movement" is successful; and
when the administration is ready to act
and the result is figured out officially tor
them to act on, the last hope of the
enemies of reconstruction in Virginia
will be swept away from them forever.

s@- The Bourbon papers of the Stat,

ags~The Bourbon papers of the State
Opposed its reconstruction from the be
ginning to the end; and still oppose the
administration and the policy of Con-
gress. They opposed the constitution,
and some of the conductors of the Bour-
bon press bet on Wells, and others
scratched Walker. Some of them ad-
vocated the election of Bayne to Con-
gress from this district in preference to
white man, thus evincing, in the
dearest manner, their opposition to the
interest of the State as involved in the
reconstruction policy. If they resorted
to such means, and all other means in
their power, to defeat reconstruction, it
only natural to expect them to rec
joice at the application of the iron clad
oath to our members of the Legislature,
which would disband that body and
kill the whole thing deader than Julius
Caesar; let them squirm as they may at
the charges, all clear sighted men must
hold them to their chosen position.
