REMARKs,-Thcre is just one point
made by our felicious friend that needs
ventilation, and hat IS the charge Of
the betrayal of trust. We sincerely
believe that Charlie is the only man on
earth who would pretend to have dis
covered such a thing, When Mr,
Philloo resigned, for two short weeks,
the "chair editorial to us, he was
fully conyersant with our political
faith" and evidently (to US, at least, }
expected that we would conduct the
paper cas- scemeth to us best" and if
we should tail to run it in the old worn
out grooves of the past, that 1t would
not show a profound disrespect' for
him. Nothing vas farther from our
intent, and wen bet a pair Of shoe
strings that he viii agree with Is that
we haven't shown it to any alarming
extent, And -four Rev, Bro, Webster,
after associatinc with US for some time,
and thereby becoming perfectly ac-
quainted wyth our opinions upon relig-
ious subieats. should resign for a brief
period hia pulpit to us, he would not

tory to its friends, but which must be
extremely gratifying to its chief. A
public discussion Of the fitness, homes
ty and ability Of Gen. Grant would
doubtless now be uninteresting to the
general public, who are, | have no
doubt, entirely satisfied with the judg-
ment which the people have rendered.
Still, il you will undertake, in any
public manner, to sustain by argument
or history the charges which you have
seen proper to make against Gen,
Grant, his administration and support
ers. in the article refeared to, | will
endeavor as publicly to answer and re-
fate them. | believe his administra-
ton thus far to have been, on the
whole, one Of the purcst and best that
the country has ever had. | regard
him as one of the purest and best men
that ever ma, o. ever will occupy the
distinguished position he now holds.
And | predict that when he shall have
served out the term for which he has
Just been chosen, Ire will retire to pri-
waite life and Gerry with him to honor
ed retirement, as the murdered Lincoln
carried with him to the grave, the love

Now, Jack" a word in conclusion
between me and YOU Fourteen
years and over have traycrsed by since
we ''buckled in together in this then
aud now Democratic County of Wood.
" were Republicans together, travel
ed together, ran f Office together
and frequently drank together from
the same cxhaustless spring-but I
we'll remember hat you were the efd-
est and always claimed the first swis.
Well, ORR party %triumphcd in 1850,
and has ariumphed in every Preslden-
tail election since hat time at least
my party has. We cursed Douglas
and many other Democrats in 1860,
/ whom We afterwards saw, shoulder to
shoulder with former political adverse
ries, enactiHg a patriotism which no
language ear define, no opprobrium Oh
scure. We have seen, also, men who
taught us our political alphabet, who
fought the good fight for freedom when
freedom was in chains" do hat which,
served to declare the proud record Of
their former lives a ~''faunting lie"
and vet time and occasion, as in the
case OF William II. Seward, have work
ed for them a complete yindleation
All this illustrates how unsafe, and fre-
4ncntly how unjust, is II Judgment
Of the motives and purposes of other
men. We are getting Older, and /
hope somewhat wiser. We have been
misjudgcd and wronged. Leta knowl-
edge Of this impress us with the re-
membrane that we are liable, if we
'iu1ge, to be unjust to others, our
equals in virtue at least. And espec-
iallv let us, i, cIi.icisipg those who are
called upon in this government of the
people" to guide the ship, and whose
every duty and crande,t mot. We move
them to be faithful, if we mus. con
denim, do so in the spirit of truth and
in the language of soberncss.

''Salutatcry and explanatory article
in the last issue Of that paper, and |
must be permitted to express, not only
very great surprio2, but deep regret
that you should, after several years Of
silence 50 Car as the general reader Of
the Reporter is concerned, have been 50
unfortunate in your r~e-introdution to
him. 1t may be true that the editor
Of the Reporter said to you that he did
lot care hour you run its editorial col
urnns during his absence, but even
then your acceptance Of the trust vas
with an implied promise that you would
observe the ordinary proprieties of
your position that you would have
some regard for truth and fairness, and
that you would not show a profound
disrespect for him whose place you
have temporarily undertaken to fill, by
INDUCING cditorially in bitter and
g%roundless denunciation Of the party
whose principles he publicly advocates
whose organ he i., or ought to be,
politically, and by heaping anathemas
upon the man, now and for some time
to come the executive head Of thc Gov
eminent, Of whom your absent friend
has been a public and conscientious
supporter. IF Rev. Bro. Webster
should again, as he has done hereto
fore, leave home and be absent on Il
Sabbath, fshing-not for GELS, but for
rest and renewed mental energy, and
the golden thoughts that arc born
thereo!--and should ask you to occupy
the pulpit for him, You would hardly
claim the right to proclaim from the
Sacred desk that the Saviour was an
imposter, and his supposed death and
resurrection a humbug and a sham.
If you did claim such right, | suspect
that you would soon as emphatically
conclude hat you had missed your
guess" as have Honest Horace
and his followers in the result of the
recent elections.

Az INDIANS REyENGE.--Thc
Richland Go. (Wis.) independent tells
a curious story, which it asserts as
fact, to the following effect, An In
dian trapper and hunter has been oper-
ating in one Of the northern towns Of
that country and near his camp lived
a farmer. The Indian had a box filed
with rattlesnakcs, covered over with
glass. Last August the Indian came
TO tie farmers house one day, intoxi-
Gated, and asked the farmer to give
him a certain sheep that he was prepar-
inG for exhibition at the county fair,
saying that he was hungry. This
the farmer refused, but offered him q
hen if he would shoot it. Ptsr indian
declared he would have the sheep and
fred at it but missed it. The farmer
then set his dog on the Indian and
drove him away. A few nights since
the farmer was awakened from his
sleep by something cold crawling over
him and Selling the object he hurled it
across the room. lie was horridcd to
hear the noise of rattles in every dircc-
ton. Telling his wife to lie quiet for
her life, he raised up and turned up
the light, when he saw a huge rattle,
snake coiled up at the foot Of the bed
ready for a spring, Selling his reyol-
yer he fired aad shot of its head. The
noise Of the pistol aroused the hired
man, who hastoned to the room, and
before reaching it CHE door was opcn)
Killed two rattlcsnakes. Two more
were killed in the bedroom, making
FIVE in all. At the foot of the bed was
the Indians box. 1t is supposed that
he entered the open window and emp
lied the snakes out on the bed.

The Florida Railroad and the Havana

Editor Of The EreniRQ Star:
The letter of your correspondent, &C. 5. N,
dated Green Cove Springs, Florida, April, lSs2,
and published yesterday, seems TO have been
written under great excitement, and contains
exaggerated statements which need correction.
However uncomfortable the writer may have
been, he is rather hasty to abuse persons who
are evidently strangers to him. Ii might be
allowable to abuse railroads cars or hotels
which did not suit his tastes, but he should no.
advise "patriotic Floridians- 10 hang the pres-
dent of the Florida railroad. Neither is it Iair
to say that "rascaIly conductor" wilfully de-
ceived him about the Havana steamer, and that
there is a COLLISION between the employees on
the Florida railroad and the hotel keepers at
Cedar Keys. Neither should he speak of ''m's-
cradle rattle trap boats, . after saying that he
left Cedar Keys without seeing a boat.

These gentlemen are well-k known in New Or

to be regretted that he did not see some of the

The NEW YORK LABOR STRIKRs.-The mas
Ter masons of New York yesterday, by a vote OF
- to 1S, voted to concede eight hours a day's
WORK on and after to-day. The vote was subse-
quently made unanimous. The brickIayers
stonemssoDs, and laborers were expected to re
turn to work to- day. The German cabinet
makers and plumbers Joined the eight-hour
movement yesterday. A large number of their
employers have already granted the dem anded
concession. The carpenters are so confident OF
success that all the journeymen are at work who
can get employment at eight hours.
A later dispatch of last night saws: ssTbe strike

forcement of the eight-hour law he's met with
success, and is virtually over. The bricklayer,
held meeting tonight and endeavored to com
promise on nine hours, but the men held out
