Letter From Hon. Frank P. Blair,

We have been permitted to publish
the following letter from Hon. Frank
Blair. 1t will be read with interest
.WAsH1NsroN, D. c., May 81, 1872.
Joseph F. Johnston, Selma, Ala:
DEAR s1n-I have yours of the
18th. I entirely agree with you in
thinking that the South, which alone
can cast an electoral vote for the
Democratic party, should have its
say on the present phase Of politics.
agree with you also in thinking
that it is useless, and worse than use
less, to undertake to run a straight
Democratic ticket. Even. if it wers
possible to elect, the candidate would
be counted out, and if not counted
out, would be powerless to do any !
thing with the Senate against him.
Z In my opinion, the Tennessee lead
should be followedby every Southern
State. It cannot be concealed that
the South is for aGreeIy, and Is. for
him not as an expedient, : to obtain
power over the Federal Government,
but, as a means to obtain peace and
the restoration Of good relations be-
tween the citizens of the Southern
States and between that section of
the Union and the North.
The election of Greeley will not
be a sectional triumph. he will be
by both sections, and hence
wil,be the representative Of both,
and will be able to restore fraternal
feeling.
Grant represents only the conquer
ing section, and has no faith in the |
of peace save by the
sword. Local disorders, which can
,nly be suppressed by local power, |
he makes the pretext of suppressing |
ocal power itself. It is like curing
temporary lameness by cutting off
. limb.
! think the Southern States should
ii declare for Greeley, but in doing
% should declare that they did so as
manifestation of their desire for
,eace, and the restoration of harmo-
~ between the sections, and between
he races resident in the South, and
sitl view to inaugurating an era
f good feeling.
Voorhees, is man Of strong feel
ng and was warmly enlisted for
udge Davis. He will, I have no
oubt, support Greeley, notwithstaud-
ng his present declarations to the
ontrary. I hope SO for his own sake,
s well as for the sake Of the cause.
Ie cannot support Grant, and he will
ave to choose between Greeley and

Heading on .Greeley,

The Philadelphia Age, commeat-
ing on the passage of the conditional
Amnesty, by Congress. says:
The administration is engaged in
an effort to head off Horace Greeley.
The long resisted Amnesty Bill is
yielded now in order torob Mr.. Gree
ley Of political capital q The Bill is,
we think, a BAD one in principle, but
it at least covers a multitude Of eases,
and we shall no longer. see obscure
private citizens charged With the
crime of feeding thehphgry, on tend
ing the sick Of the Southern Confed-
eracy, and forced TO buy a.pardon at
the Congressional shop. Since Hor-
ace Greeley's candidacy has wiped
out this foul dishonor, which, till the
last hour the administration party
fostered and defended, let Mr.. Gree
ley have the credis Of it. +&.4
We'will notdwen on our objections
to the partial amnesty, but will briefly
state one which We deem important.
From the.general amnesty ere except
ed the members of Congress who left
it, and also the officers Of the army
and navy who resigned at the begin
ming of the war. Now, what ought
they to have done, holding the opin-
ions they did? What, in a like case
happening again, would you wish to
be done? Mr.. Cameron has stated
in his place in the Senate that be Of
fered to Colonel Robert E. Lee the
command Of the Army of the United
States, when he instantly left Wash
ington, and sent in his resignation,
which was formally accepted by Pres
ident Lincoln. Throughout the land
were many Southern officers in posi-
tions of trust. They instantly avow-
ed their opinions and resigned. They |
may be chargeable, then, with Just |
the guilt that attaches to ;all who |
ioined the Confederacy, but we see
nothing whatever to distinguish them
for peculiar resentment. On the con-
trary, it is highly honorable to the

"The past year has not been one of I'M
alleged joy and prosperity. Thrice have
we been called on to record the death of
those who have been accustomed to meet
with us aid have been a part of us. One
year ago, this month, we were called to
sympathise with brother whose wife had
departed this life leaving him to pursue his
journey alone. One who was appointed to
express by resolutions the sympathy of the
club was next called suddenly to give an
account of his stewardship. Then the life
long partner of our estimable president was
taken to mansions prepared for her above.
These remind us that we are all passing
along toward our journeys end.
"The growing season of the year is draw
ing to close. The unusual dry spring and
summer months created grave apprehen-
sions of failure of the corn crop-the
staple crop Of this section-together with
the almost total failure of the hay crop, and
the small amount Of small vegetables, was
discouraging indeed. But He who rules
over all has been mindful of us, and with
the bountiful supply of rain sent has glad
dened all hearts and made our farms to as
sumo spring verdure, loading our valleys
with corn and covering our hills with pas
ture; thus giving us courage to go on doing
what we can, leaving the result to an ALL
wise, All Powerful Governor over all. -

OBITUARY.

Departed this life on the goth of August,
CHARLES DAUGHERrT, only son of Charles and
Catherine Daugherty
1t seems hard TO realize the fact that he has
gone suddenly from our midst. One short night
ago he was taken from our midst, and as the
morning sun had shed its beams over fair EARTH
Charles spirit had winged its flight to God who
gave it. Thus has passed away one who, as
son, was ever kind and afectionate as
brother, tender and loving Dry thy tears, kind
mother, resign yourself TO the Will of God, and
know that thy child liveth. Sisters, grieve not !;
thy brother is not dead, but only fleepeth.
Fond parents, though he whom you so much
loved has been by Death snatched away, though
his once buoyant form is still in death, thou
place thy trust in the Creator of all things and
though separated, are frequent on earth. Re-
member
There is a land where the parted shall meet,
And friends and beloved ones each other shall
greet
Then boundless the bliss on that fadeless shore,
For thy loved ones shall greet thee to leave thee
no more.
Dearest Charlie thou hast left u.s.
We thy loss most deeply feel;
But tits God that has bereft us
lie can all our sorrows heal.
Ills funeral was largely attended by the stone.

WHAT'S Civilization?

Civilization is the result of previous pro-
gress. Progress is movement; it is, SO to
speak, dynamical. Civilization is a state,
it is static. 1t is not the work of the pres
ent moment; it is rather that which the
present inherits from the past, in the way
of science, art, discovery, wealth, customs.
In a society which is in process of civiliza-
ton each generation finds a certain store of
the elements of civilization at hand.
The scientific researches of the past have
not to be commenced anew its discoveries
and industrial processes we have but to
learn and perpetuate. Agriculture has
made progress, cities have been built, roads
constructed, and society organized. Finally,
we have language ready formed, and race
instincts, and moral and intellectual quail
ties, more or less developed. So that we
may regard civilization as the sum of hui
man enjoyment at a given moment, which
is at hand without the necessity of going in
search Of it. Or, in philosophical language,
we say that civilization is an accumulation
of force in the race, or for the race.-Pop-
uldr Science MONTHLY.

THE CASE OF GILLESPIE AMBER
soN.-Gillispie Anderson, who was sent
on to the Hastings Court yesterday,
charged with bastardy, as was stated in the
JOURNAL, promptly gave bail for his APP
pearance, and was released from custody.
Mr.. Anderson gave US call this morning.
He says our notice Of the case was in some
respects inaccurate. He AYERS that he did
not leave Richmond for fear of prosecution
by Pbillis Terry, and wholly denies the
charge made against him by that person.
lie further states that he came to Rich
mond few days ago for the purpose of
answering to the warrant which he learned
was out against him, and never had any
intention or desire to prevent an investiga-
ton Of the case in a court of justice, but as
soon as he arrived here notified Miss Terry
to appear in court and substantiate her
charges. He further declares that there is
no intention on the part of Miss Brown
(referred to by us yesterday to bring suit
against him for the same offence charged by
Miss Terry. The case will probably come
up for investigation one day this week.
