Letter from G. P. Leslie.

EDITOR DAILY GuARDiAN.-DEAR
SIR Il have jnst read your paper of
tho l7th Instant, and observe the
following, clipped from tho Lanoast er
Ledger
"WnY WAS Ir?---A rather strange
clause in the recent purchase of the
Land Commission in this county is
;his fact that Mittag sold the land
70 Gill in April, 1870, and Gill sold
the same land to the State in Janua-
ry, 1870, three mouths before he held
.ny titles to it. Tho question is, how
did this happen ? Tho presumption
is that the SCOTT ring, who have tho
management Of the purchases and
salos of land, are liable, to a large ex.
tent. upon the bond of G. P. Leslie,
who was, in January, 1870, the Com
missioner, and that the bondsmen of
Leslie caused the deed Of convey anoe
from Gill to be dated back, so as to
cover Leslie's fraudulent transactions.
"Unless Mittag did make deed of
conveyance to Gill, which some doubt,
and Of which there ia no record in the
Clerks Office here, it 10 not improba-
bio thats at the death Of the con-
veyor, the State will loose its pur.
chase"
There is not one word Of this arti-
Gle true, 80 far as tho Same is intend.
ed to apply to me. put in gener-
al denial.
For the benefit of all concerned, I
wish to say:
|. That I never bought foot of
land in South Carolina as Land Com
missioner.
2. That I never had one dollar of
the Land Commission money in my
hands.
8. The Advisory Board never
bought one foot of ground on my re-
commendation.
q. | never was Land Commissioner,
only in name.
land funds.
Mr.. Editor and friends, whenever
you see an article published rejecting
upon me as La nd Commissioner, YOU
may consider these five statements n
reply. l,e
[ have got sick and tired of for
ever being assailed, and aver the
statements | have made to be the
truth, and offer them or what they
are worth. .1''"
Take this special case. l will an
swer in detail: S n.at
| don't know "Mittag" or "Gill,"
nor never had any dealings with them
directly or indirectly, as Land Com
missioner, or in any othor capacity.
If there was any land bought in
"Lancoster," l know nothing of it.
My bondsmen are not politicians,
but honest, hard working men.
l am, respectfully, &c.

lnfallibiiity,

! the adoption Of the dogma Of In
fallibility docs not impose new
faith upon Roman Catholics. With
the theological aspects of tho case We
have nothing to do, and tho varying
opinions Of Roman Catholic theolo.
gians we do no. Low consider; but
we state as an unae niable fact thai
the Ro:nau Catholic laity firmly be.
; lieved in it before the Council voted
and ev"n before the Council was call.
cd; that in fact this body has onl =
now enacted into dogma what has
long been the ai.nrlr, unquestioninp
faith Of Roman Catholics ia general
throug ghout both Europe and Ameri.
ca. Many may have doubted the
wisdom ef proclaiming the faith but
practically all have held it. : >2.
Neither does the adoption Of this
dogma threaten any achism in a
church which, by reason of its age, its
vast extent, and its powerful hold
upon the minds Of 80 largo a proper
tion Of the civilized world, must long
remain an object of profound interest
alike to friends and foes, to statesmen
as well as to theologians. The Armc-
mans and others who, like them, have
hung loosely on the skirts of Roman
Catholicism may seoede but neither
In Europe nor America will there be
any serious, open disturbance of the
harmony of the faith. ,NVc have not
been allowed to print the debates. and
only vague details Of the actual pro-
oeedings in the Council llave reached
the public eye ;but whatever disputes
there may have been among the the.
ologlaps, there are likely 70. be none
before the people. d'1. +"
What the proclamation of this dog
ma does is to sharpen tho autagonisln
between Roman Catholics aud tho
outside world, and to dwarf the pow
ers and influence of their own heir
arohy, outside Of Rome. It is a
movement of separation and of cen,
tralization ; it builds Chinese wall
between the world of modern pro-
Rressive thought and the Roman
Catholic Church, and it gathers the
powers of that church more and more
within the limits of the City Of Rome.
Between Roman Catholics aud the
rest Of the world there is henceforth
en- outward and visible sign Of a sepa-
ration that is immntablc. Roman
Catholics do believe the Pope infalli-
BILE. No other human being eau pos.
sibly believe it.. The distinction, is
inevitable /; its Influence upon systems
of faith, modes Of thought, develop
ments of ideas, tendencies Of pro.
gress, must be ineradicable, and the
formal adoption Of tho dogma sharp
ems and intensifies it. --New York I'll

Attorney General Chamberlain will Please
Reply. al

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Chamberlain rep.
resents the State in legal capacity,
but who has heard of any legal pro-
ceedlngs to feret out tho corruptions
OF the Land Commissioner =? There
are some small transactions in this
section of the State, and it is said
that Governor Scott has been directly
interested in the profits. Would q
legal investigation bring to light any
or all of these transactions, and prove
that the highest officials have specu.
lated upon the State funds and i'm
proved their private fortunes It is
no wonder that magnificent gift to.
wards purchasing school house for
the colored people of this town could
be afforded, when the profits arising
from recent land spcculations are to
be drawn from the deluded and de.
ceived colored population, if they
purchase these lands from tho land
commission. Why is it necessary
that piece of property has to pass
through that Office in order to become
"eligible" for the colored people to
purchase Why do their bcncfac-
tors buy land at So per aore and then
sell it to the land commission for SO,
making the colored man pay tho
profit : These are important ques-
tions for the colored people to pro-
pound to their Radical leaders, and
We think it equally important that
the Attorney-Gcneral of the State
should cause an Investigation to be
made, no matter if the greatest
light Of the Radical party is exposed
and to vince at the result. In every
portion of South Carolina, these
charges are rife, and we thiuk it due
to the people and the officials that il:
be placed beyond doubt.-Anderson

The Troubles in North Carolina,

Ex-Governor Graham, of North
Carolina, arrived hero yesterday
afternoon from Washington, whittier
he had becn OIL mission in regard to
the Kirk outragcs in his State. He
says be met with cold comfort and no
success.
You nave aeen, no doubt, how mum.
bers of people from North Carolina
arc seeking refuge from Holden
tyranny by flying into Virginia.
Large numbers from Caswell county,
N. O., have come over to Danville,
Pittsy county, Va. Night be-
fore last, as I learn from perfectly
reliable private sources, a squad Of
Kinks men invaded the State, seized
Rudolphus Gum in tho streets of Dan.
vile, and carried him prisoner to
North Carolina. Mr.. Gum is young
men whose home is in Caswell county,
few miles from Yanoeyville, and
who fed to Danville to escape the
very men who dared to follow him
into tho territory of Virginia.
Among the gentlemen arrested at or
nesr Yanceyyile are on Hon. John
Kerr and DR.. Roane. Both were
old-line wings and Union men at the
beginning of the late war, whom
Ho!asa himself %as = red-hot seces-
sionist. The immediate object of
these outrages is to demoralize and
intimidate the conservative party of
North Carolina, by arresting promi.
nent and influential citizens throngh-
out those portions, of the State where
the radicals are in the minority.

The War and Cotton.

The st. Louis Democrat has an ar
ticle on the question "Will the war
cause cotton to decline I" and says :
This is question which is now agita
ting thousands. We claim no iufalli-
bility of prophecy, yet we feel strong-
ly impressed with the conviction tha,
tho question should bo answered in
the negative. Of course, no account
is to be taken of the first perturbationA
in markets, which become apparent
upon the outbreak ofa gigantic war
These are, more or less, the result Of
panicky feelings, often purposely in.
tensi6ed by market manipulators, and
give no indication of what the pcrma.
nent state Of the market may be
Now as far as regards the status of
cotton during the war, we reason that
the demand for fabrics will be fully as
great throughout the civilized " orld
as if tho world enjoyed peace, and our
own experience has shown chat war
times are periods Of great waste, and
we presume the same improvideuce
will attend the operations of the con-
tending srmies of Europe. We ex.
pcct therefore, all augmented demand
and increase in the price Of cotton,
rather than closing Of factories and
serious decline, rs many seem to
fear.
This country will be neutral, aud
will run every loom, lathe, forge and
furnace she possess to their fullest
capacity, if the war is even of six
months duration, and the prospects are
that it will be of much greater length.
Should all of Germany, Russia,
Austria, Italy, Denmark and France be
drawn into the war, millions Of men
would be engaged in destroying
fabrics as we'll as lives, very rapidly.
These fabrics must be replaced
promptly. Soldering is de >tructivc
to clothes, rs all soldiers know, and
the raiment thus worn out must be
manufactured somewhere. England
will do large part of this manusac.
turing, and will demand increased
quantities Of cotton to do it with.
We shall also do large share of it,
and our home consumption will be
much larger than it has boon since
the war. In short, VIC cannot see any
reason for surprising that cotton viii:
de,cliue, while other products, will
advance. .,.

FRANCE AND PRUssIA.-The Lon

for tho authenticity of the following
projected treaty, submitted by France
to Prussia: The preamble sets forth
that the King Of Prussia and tho EN-.
peror Of the French, In order to
strengthen ties Of friendship between
the two governments and people, &C.,

In the frat article, Napoleon admits

cepted. In tho fourth, France finding
it necessary to absorb Belgium, Prus-
sia lends her assistance to that ,mea-
sure. The flfth article is the usual
one of offensive and defensive alli-
anoe between the two nations.
The London Morning Telegraph of
tho 25th inst, prints in large type q
communication reciting an Interview
held with the Emperor Napoleon
fortnight ago. The Emparor then
had nc thought Of war on Prussia. .---
He was still unprspared, but France
was slipping from his hands. and, in
order to rule, he must lead France to
war. Tho Emperor" related the con.
tents Of dispatches botwecn himself

too soon. The Emperor demanded
Luxembourg, IN 1865, as an seqniva-
lent for his neutralityin Prdssia's con.
test with Austria. Bismarck replied
by demanding Holland ss sansequiva-
lent for Luxembourg. The Emperor
replied to this demand of ,Bismarck's
that, should the independence Of Hol-
