The conviction of Logan & Co.-the
firm who pretended to sell counterfeit
money to countrymen, and sent them by
express, &C. o. D." in return for their
money, boxes filed with tinfoil or old
iron, with sealed packages containing old
newspapers-has thrown a good many
letters, ordering counterfeit money, from
parts of the country, into the hands of
the press. Among the letters published
are two from one John A. Wimpy, a
leading Radical of Northern Georgia,
and who claims to be a member of Con-
gress elect. He ordered a considerable
amount of this counterfeit money, and
was very wrathy because the firm sent
him some old iron instead. The New
York Sun publishes letter from a man
who processes 10 be a member of the
Tennessee Legislature. 1t was post
marked "Horse Shoe Bend, Nov. "a. "
The only place of that name in the Post
office Directory is in Scott county, Tenn.
The letter is as follows:

OK Tuesday Grant nominated Gen.
Pleasanton for Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. A Washington dispatch says
this nomination created a great deal Of
dissatisfaction among the Congressional
friends of other candidates, and especially
among the Radical delegation from Penn
sylvania, some Of whom felt assured that
Deputy Douglass of that State would be
appointed. They openly declared that
the Presidents refusal to give Pennsylva-
MIA a more prominent representation in
the administration will lose them the State
in the coming election. But few Con-
gressmen endorsed Gen. Pleasanton, and
the Grand Army of the Republic protested
against his appointment.

WHY NORTHERN SETTLERS ARE
LEAVING VIRGINIA.

Some OF the Northern farmers who had
bought land in the counties about Peters
burg, Va, are said to have become dis
satisfied, and sold out and gone back to
New England or Pennsylvania. The
reason assigned for this step is not that
the land is poor; that there is no market
for their products, and they cannot get a
living; but that they cannot talk politics
and vote freely without subjectiuS them
selves to social osiracism by their neigh
bors of the Democratic party. We sus-
pect that the case is not stated fairly.
We do not believe there is community
in the South where Northern man cannot
live in peace and security, and at the same
time enjoy the respect of his Southern
neighbors, if he conducts himself in q
manner go rs 90 command that respect
whatever may be his politics. But he
cannot do this 10y demanding the proscnp-
ton of the leading white men of the
South and proclaiming the social equality
of the races. This is more than AIr. Lin
coin ever claimed. If he allies himself
with the party of prescription and dis
fraacaisement, and Extensively 1aunts the
doctrine of social equality in the face of
his neighbors, he may be sure they viii
not feel cordially towards him. A man
can be Radical and vote the Radical
ticket. and still so conduct himself as to
secure the confidence of the Southern
people among whom he may c&st his lot.
II is very evident that the Northern far
rnprs" who are selling out and returning
from Virginia are not Of this class If
they give the true reason for their re-
moval They are men who believe IN
proscription aud in the social equality OF
the races. and made themselves offensive
10 their neighbors in the manner of pro-
claiming their adhesion to these ideas.
That is Why they were socially ostraclsed,
The Savannah Republican puts the case
correctly when it says: "Many Northern
Radicals move South, and, as soon as
they get her, commence allying them
selves and consorting with ne
groes and disreputablc whites tc
uphold the arms Of the Government
in its war upon Southern society, its
dignity, its rights, IFS traditions and dear
est interests-was it to be expected that
such people would be taken by the hand

community in The world will take their
enemies 70 their bosoms, and it should
not be expec'ed Of the South. The differ
ence is not merely one of political opiu-
ion hut of moral and social status, and
strikes directly st the organization of so,
cietv at the South. Men in the South
are appreciated just as they are every

GRANT AND SAN DOMINGO

There is something remarkable, if not
corrupt, in the Presidents persistent and
persevering efforts for the confirmation
of the treaty for the purchase of San Do
mingo. At the last session of Congress,
when the treaty was being considered by
the Senate, the President went 10 his
room in the Capitol for the purpose of
making q personal appeal in behalf of the
measure. His efforts and influence were
brought TO bear upon the Senators who
had not given a decided expression 70
their views and perhaps never before had
the occupant of that high position used
such arts as the President has 10 accom-
plish his ends. His interest in the
measure, as is shown by the facts recited,
in connection with the lengthy argument
in his recent message to the same end,
naturally raises the inquiry in the minds
of the people as to the motives or con-
siderations that prompt him. We take
the following extract from the Boston
Post, which may explain the interest of
the Presidentin the San Domingo scheme 3.
''Gen. Grant is but the agent of New
York company in the effort TO annex ST.
Domingo to the United States. The CAPT
tai of this congregation of brokers and
iobb "a Is said 10 c insist OF twenty shares,
at SIS, 900 each. To this company all
the mineral lands, mill privileges, and
prospective town sites in ST. Domingo
have been granted. They also have the
monopoly of banking, of building rail
roads, and of running steamboats,. They
are authorized, in the event of annexa-
ton, 10 survey the whole public domain
of the Republic, and to have one-fiftb of
the same by way of compensation. This
one-flfth they are TO locate for themselves.
in any portion of the island selected,
With such fine bargain in prospective,
il is no wonder the scheme is pushed
upon the attention of the Senate with
such pertinscity. The dividends will be
large. and hence the interest felt IN the
,,,ovnment at the White House.

table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and desponding by an immediate and most
encouraging change. If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy

Taxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they arc put to fight, ard hope and
cheerfulness return. In the face Of the ex-
trsordinary cures Of general debility, dysr
pepsia, biiousness, constipation and men
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
daatb and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible eyscuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med
