Where the Bad sreafh Came
From.

a letter which, at the time, created
great Indignation throughout the South
ern States and great disgust in every
right feeling bosom in the North, has
again been brought to the notice Of the
public The Chicago Tribune reprodu
ces it to relieve the people of Chicagoof
any sympathy with the mean spirit that
prompted it. 1t reads:

ESTEEMED LADIES In response to
your request for contribution to build
houses for destitute children Of deceased
Confederate soldiers, please find enclosed
$500 in the currency of the deceased
Coufederacy. \ gu say that the shrink
ing delicacy and pride Of the Southern
people forbids the idea of conducting
the establishment upon the principle or
plan of an ordinary charity. We corr
daily coincide with this policy, aud as
ordinary charities are supported by
greenbacks, you will appreciate that
lofty sense Of ehivalric propriety which
leads US to Contribute to the support Of
your enterprise a currency which is op-
posed in all respects to greenbacks.

"THE CHICAGO REPUBLICAN Co"
The Tribune says. the letter is Ger
tajnly very low flung expression, and
could not have met, even on the day af-
ter the Coptederacy surrendered, any in
dorsement from the real patriotism of the
North. and refers, as an evidence OF
want of sylnpsthy with such meanness
90 the part of the people of Chicago,
that it is within the knowledge OF the
editor of the Tribune, that latter the
close of the war large donations were
made by citizens Of Chicago to provide
the suffering people of Mississippi and
Louisiana With food and seed, to enable
them to resume the cultivation of their
desolated fields and plantations. - Gin

Alleged New C0OIie Trade-Aimost a Ro-
mantle Meeting.

Wilhelmina Busch left Bremen on the
ship Martha A. Mcneil, Captain Hart,
master, in July. According to the state
ment of Wilhelm Wedlich, she was his half
sister. He was a sailor on board, but did
not discover their relationship, they having
been parted in infancy, till they reached
Sunderland's. There he got letter, and
claimed his long lost sister. She was en-
tered on the ships books as stewardess. On
their arrival at New York according to his
story, the captain persuaded Miss Busch
that she must work out her passage by
three years service to his wife.
The new found brother left the ship on
her arrival at New York, and on his return
to the ship found her gone. He subse-
quently received letter, stating that she
was on the point of being taken to Thomas
town, Maine. He thereupOn got out ha-
beas corpus but when it was served she
was gone. The captain admits that she
went with his wife, but says she went very
willingly, and without any false representa-
tons or coercion. If she wanted to leave
she could. A curious feature of the case
was that while all other accounts, including
the captains, agreed that she could with
great difficulty understand and not speak
English, a customhouse officer, who could
not speak German, swore that she told him
she had been sent to the postofice by Mrs.
Hart, and Cooked very happy The court
required Captain Hart to produce the girl,
so that it could ascertain whether any fraud
had been committed, but gave him two
Weaks TO do it.

Reason of the Change.

A Washington special to the st. Louis
Republican says.
The reason given for taking the State De-
partment agency in London from Barring
Brothers is, that that house had incurred
the displeasure of our authorities at various
times. For fifty years past they have had
constant use of the cash balance, amounting
to fifty thousand dollars, worth from three
to four per cent. During the late war their
conduct toward the United States was very
reprehensible, fact which has been State
secret until now. During one quarter in
1861, the State Department made an over
draft of 100000 on Barring Brothers, and
they sent an agent in haste here to collect
the balance, a much larger sum having
been sent to them before his arrival in this
country. The agent was so anxious, that
when he got to Washington he repaired at
once to Stewards house, long after the Sec
rotary had retired to his sleeping room.
Mr.. Seward arose and adjusted the matter
to the relief of the apprehensions of the
agent, and returned to bed. The Barings
made handsome fortune out of the govern
ment during the last half century and but
for the fact of their long connection with
the State Department as agents, the gov
eminent might long ago have made arrange
ments to our advantage with private bank
ing houses there, and at considerably less
rates of exchange.

Mrs. H. NJ Barnard, of Washington, in a
letter in the Iowa State Register, is very
felicitous in her estimate of General Grant.
She says:
There is gradually but surely creeping
into the public consciousness the ldea That
General Grant is much moderated as. to
ability. capacity. and knowledge of public
affairs. 1t has been the studied purpose of
a few prominent men, after the discovery of
thu, fact that they could not overshad0w
him. to make it appear that he is inefficient,
in regard to State affairs, and given to per-
sonal qualification and pleasure. This OBJ
ject would be the more easily attained from
the fact that the quiet, self-contained and
unebtrusive character of the man who, never
seeking justification at the bar of popular
clamor, is content to wait the slow steps of
the grandest Fighter of all wrongs, time; al
ready we see the cObwebs of repeated asser-
tons, and retailed kitchen cabinet gossip
being brushedaway and the fact established
that General Grant, instead of the
Intellectual imbecile his foes would have us

for him to do, his fondness for good horse,
and choosing to keep his own counsel in
stead of talking nonsense to every caller,
are banded about, repeated and COM
mented upon with chronic persistence, only
