systomatic effort to falsify the truth
Of history has been mado, since the
close of the late war in this country,
by the adherents of tho United
States Government in that conflict;
and such q generous desire to vim
dicate the truth rs that evihccd by
your recent articles upon the death
of General Lee, has awakened o

Of all true Confederates. Presum-

to ask the privilege Of correcting,
through the same medium, some OF
the gross errors contained in tho
letter Of General Badeau, the late
/" military and private secretary to
General Grant, which has been
extensively copied from your jour-
nal into American journals.
In reference to the campaign OF
1864 from the Rapidan TO James
River, General Badcau makes this
ren,a rlrnhla statement:
"The calculation that Grant had
three times a. many men as Lee has
been obtained by omitting Long
streets corps altogether from the
estimate, and by giving only Lees
force present for duty on the Rapi-
dan; while in reckoning Grants
numbers, not only the present for
duty are counted, but those consti.
tuting what, in military parlance,
Is called the total, which includes
the sick, the extra-duty men, and
various others, invariably amount
ing, in any large army, TO many
thousands. Manifestly, either Lees
total should be compared with
Grants total, or Grants present for
duty with Lees present for duty
But besides this. in order to make

The Valley Of Virginia and on th'

counts for all the extra duiy inon,

the sick in general hospitals, pris-

men absent without leave, and

verdiet Again.t a LIauor seller.

The Cambridae co. Times gives
the following account of a case lately
tried in the Guernsey county Common
Pleas court, Mrs. Watt being plaintiff
and Samuel Boyd defendant:
"The plaintiff is the widow of DIR.
S. W. Watt, at one time a prominent
physician and surgeon, and an eX-rep-
resentative of this county, who died
about the 18th of September, 1869,
from the effects of intoxication. She
set forth in her petition that her hus-
band had an extensive and lucrative
practice. which enabled him TO pro-
vide comfortable support for his
family prior to the time of the eriev-
ances committed by the defendant
That since about the 1st of April,
1865, her husband was in the habit Of
becoming intoxicated, and so contin-
ued until the time of his death. That
the defendant continued during all
this time to sell and deliver to him in
toXicating liquors, in quantities from
one pint to one quart, causing him TO
become habitual drunkard, and in
business and that the plaintiff was
"
nurse him. and provide for his sup
nort, and for the support of herself
and family; and the same caused his
estate to be squandercd and resulted
in his death, and therefore the plain
tiff, the widow of the deceased, has
been deprived of the means of sup
port for herself and minor child, and
that she has been compelled to resort
to daily labor for the same, aud claim
ed that she has been damaged to the
amount of $1,000, for which she asked
judgment at the hands of the jury.
"After argument by able counsel
on both sides the case was given to
the jury on the charge of the court.
The jury, after an absence of about
thirty minutes, returned the follow
ing verdict: We, the jury in this
case, find for the plaintiff and assess
her damages at S2,50O.'"

More Honesty and Less Party.

The Lebanon Patriot hits the nail
squarely on the head in the following,
which we clip from one of its recent
editorials:
at is useless for US to deny if, for
unanswerablc argument contronts us
on every hand, that the governments,
both State and National, are at this
time set upon by corruptionists,
thieves, leeches, sapping the life-blood
from the body polite. Success in
politics has become the effect of
rewdness-merely a business trans
action in which he that has the most
money, or can display the most ability
in '' setting up" carries off the prize.
Against this evil is what we contend,
and that it must be condemned and
brought into contempt by the honest
voting masses even at the sacrifice of
party, is becoming apparent. The
qualification for honesty must be of
greater weight, and must be more
strenuously demanded. If we would
have the shadow of an inheritance to
transmit to posterity. In fact, we
must have more honesty in the official
circles, and the only way to obtain it
is to vote for honest men, even at the
sacrifice of party. What we want is
! more honesty and less party. Espec-
tally is there crying need of more
| honesty.

The Test Oath.

The President, on Wednesday last,
returned to the Senate the bill for the
repeal of the test oath, under certain
circumstances. without his signature
| thereto, accompanied by the following
message:
To the Senate and house of represent
atives
1 have this day transmitted to the
Senate, the announcement that Senate
bill No. 21S, an act prescribing an oath
of Office, to be taken by persons who
participated in the late rebellion, who
are not disqualified from holding Of
flee by the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States,
has become a law. in the manner pre-
scribed by the Constitution, without
the signature of the President. If this
were bill for the repeal of the test
oath required of person elected or
appointed to offices of honor or trust,
it would meet my approval.
The effect of this law is to relieve
from taking the prescribed oath, all
, those persons whom it was intended
to exclude from such Offices and to
require it from all others. By this
law, soldier who fought and bied
| for his country, is to swear to his 10y
atty before assuming official functions,
whilst % General, who commanded
| hosts for the overthrow of his Gov
ernment, is admitted to a place with
| out it. | cannot affiX my name to q
law which discriminates against an
upholdcr of the government. 1 be-
| lieye, however, that it is not wise
| policy to keep from Office, by oath,
those who are not disqualified by the
| Constitution, and are the choice of le-
gal voters; but whilst relieving them
from an oath which they cannot take,
| recommend the release, also, of those
to whom the oath has no application.
| Signed U S. GRANT.
1t seems to us that the President
stultified himself when he refused to
affiix his name to the bill because it
| s'discrimiuates between an upholder
of the government and then sends
it back to Congress knowing that by
so doing it becomes law just as eff
| fectually as if he had approved it. If
the President really considered the
bill Objectionable he should have ve-
toed it, and his permitting it to be-
come law without his approval, is
an evidence of want of backbone hui
initiating to behold. General Grant
had no such qualms of conscience
when he signed the bill relieving
General Longstreet ga general who
commanded hosts for the overthrow
of his government'), from his disa-
qiiities, that he might assume the du-
ties of one OF the most lucrative Off
ces in the gift of the Government to
which he was appointed over Union
soldiers If is SjmDlV abSurd for Cen
eral Grant to use this argument against
this bill to partially repeal the test
oath, while he has an eX-rebel officer
in his Cabinet as his chief legal adj
wiser, who had to be relieved of his
disability to take the oath OF office
before he. could enter upon the dis
charge of his duties. The only sem
sible suggestion in the whole message.
is i'll the closing paragraph which yir-
tually recommends the repeal of all
laws requiring any other oath of Of
flee than that required by the Consti-
tution.-Pldn Dealer.
