No doubt the young man by the name OF
.Jamison, in the Female Suffrage Convention at
Chicago, meant well when lie said that " Editors
q" had more moral principle than clereymcn y
but we must decline to accept the compliment
ot the expense of our reverend friends. The
members of the editorial profession - some
of them-haYe a great deal of moral prlnciple'
and some of them not quite 80 much; but we
don't think it exactly profitable 20 make such
odorous comparisons, OF course. when the
young man by the name of Jamison offered his
little remark an Immediate effort was made TO
stop his speech editors not being in high favor
with Female Suffrage Conventions. But Jaml-
son wouldn't be stopped, said his say and
achieved 80 brilliant victory that we t1'nk
he must have been young woman by the
name of Jamison disguised. ...

In the deluge of letters and essays which the
Byron question has let forth upon the London
press we find now and then something well
worth reading. Mr.. William Howitt's letter, all
ready noticed by telegraph, mentions very curl
GUS and important circumstance about Lady By
ron which will confirm the opinion of those who
believe her to have suffered from Authorizations
respecting her husbands conduct. We copy
all the important portions of it on our sixth
page. The Saturday Reriew on the other
hand, in an elaborate and very clever article,
argues that Mrs. Stoves charge against the
poet is in all probability true.

to the growth of small fruits, salads, flowers and

about thirty pupils, in which instruction will

An encouraging sign of progress is the action
of tho Ohio corOner's jury in rela ton to the
recent accident on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. A few more arrests of delinquent
engineers and conductors and switchmen for
manslaughter will do more to insure life on
railway trains than all the improvements in
cars and tracks which the ingenuity of man
can devise. Now let the accused have fair
trial, and if they are convicted let them be
held strictly to the sentence.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM JUDGE
DENT.


Washington, August II. - Judge
Dent has written to Secretary Boutwell,
a pungent letter, of which the following
is a copy: .#.H-.
Washington, D. c. August II, 1869.
TO Hon. George S. Boutwell,, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Sir-I shall
make little apology for asking your at
tention to my letter, and less for the
nature OF its contents. You were the
to deny the political orthodoxy of
friends and myself, and by all the
rules of the forum am entitled to
defense. Again, you hold an office OF
the republic, and your acts therefore are
legitimate subjects of criticism by the
humblest citizen thereof. But in some
respects We are alike. For instance, We
are both aspirants for place, with is
difference; You aim to be the next
President, with every of assurance of sue
cess, except in the opinion of the peo-
pie, while seek an humber place with
my hopes in disastrous eclipse, except
in the judgment Of Mississippi; so in the
probable results of the future we both
stand adverse to the judgment of the
country. In the pursuit of your ambi-
ton you are ungrateful and unscrupul-
Gus as to the means of success. Your
organ, the New York Sum- in the same
breath ridicules the capacity of your
master and dwells with emphasis upon
your peculiar fitness fer his Office. Your
tool, Mr.. Tullock, became SO reckless in
the manipulation of your department in
the interest Of your ambition, and so de-
faint of the wishes of the President and
the country, that to save yourself from
an explosion of popular indignation you
found IL convenient to transfer him to
another sphere of scandalous activity,
where his talents might be exerted with
equal effect and less etfrontery. Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas
dot to mention anything so humble as
myself-were distractions in the way of
your success; because through President
Grants intervention in excluding the
proscrlptive clauses FROM their organic
law, these States are brought into the
Union and firmly welded to his sup
port.
now this is in direct conflict with
your systematized plans. For what
Genera. Grant gets In the next presi-
Dental election. clearly Mr.. Boutwell,
ill not get, and therefore have you
.enounced the conservative republicans,
who are for Grant, that you may OBJ
tain the proscriptive republicans, who
are for Boutwell,; and by some strange,
dexterous managementand occult politi-
cal strstegy, you have 50 worked upon
ne confidence of the President as to
cause him to. flourish the club with
which you inland to break his head, by
inducing him to join you in denuncia-
ton of the conservative republicans, a
party created by his magnanimity and
triumphant through his encouragement.
But, sir, your purpose is easily dis
cernible, aud has two-fold object. |
namely, to destroy the national repub-
lican party in the South, and then to
reconstruct from its shattered fragments
a Boutwell, party, with one Richmond
in the field to strike for yonr crown
But ii, you cannot succeed in this
scheme of desperate enterprise, you
mean to ruin,--a result, from present |
much more likely to be
reached. .t.ft rs-.
