The Columbus LIE egiOn.

The Columbus Legion held quite an in
teresting meeting last night in the hall cor
ner of CustOmhOuse street and Exchange
alley, in the third story of the building.
The meeting was largely attended, and
some of the most prominent men in the
Latin race in this city addressed the as
semblage. The discussion fell upon the rela-
tive merits of the Liberal or Democratic
parties, with larger proportion favoring
Liberalism as a national party. There were
two sides discussed without bitterness, but
with much feeling, and, in the language of
their own country, these Italians and Span.
iards brought out all the points. The dis
cussion was prolonged until late hour,
and at the close Mr.. SambOla, who was the
subject of resolution declaring the club
independent of himself and repudiating his
agency in the Baltimore convention, got the
floor and made speech, and the meeting
ended without result, 80 far, except pro-
nOunced feeling in favor of the Liberal
party.

The air is bracing and clear in the pine

fare for Sunday excursion tickets that
there is a general rush for the Jackson rail

REASONS FOR THE RESIGNATION.
CARROLLTON, July 20, 1872.

CARROLLTON, July 20, 1872.
First Assistant Postmaster General:
SIR-YOurs of the fifteenth of July, 1872,
to hand. In reply | have to say that the
parties that have complained to you are
extremely few in numbeg of either political
party, and have not one particle of mail
in this office at this time, nor have they
had any to remain after they called tor it.
This complaint is basely false in toto. This
Office has been conducted strictly in ac-
COrdauce with pOstOffice regulations and
my oath of Office and for the accOmmOda
ton Of the public, and not to suit the
caprice of any political demagOgue. This
has been my earnest endeavOr. In some
instance complaints have arisen because
of my exacting from some parties at this
Office the postage due the POstOffice De-.
partment, and, to my knowledge, the COM
plainants belong to this class If this office
should be conducted to the entire satisfac-
ton of each individual attending il, it GER.
tainly would be an exception to all in
this government. Probably these COM
plainants are looking after perfection in
the Post0ttice Department Ii so, trust
they may find it. If / were disposed to
solicit the approval of the pOpulace, re-
gardless of politics, | could get ten to
as | have no desire to continue in this post
office, as it has occupied too much
of my time and Office room. The salary is
$40 per month, also it occupies a room that
can be rented for $40 per month. You will
perceive this is daily mail, Sundays ex-
Cepted. Hence l leave it with you as to
what shall be done in regard to who shall
occupy the position of postmaster at this
place. | did not seek it at the start, nor do
! now. l accepted it on thepersuasion Of
the Hon. L. 4. Sheldon, but | understand
why this complaint is made at this time
and for what purpose. Now, as to this, 1
have always been q Republican from prin-
ciple, and am to-day, but not for spOils.

the United States in this parish in 1868,
while these complainants were either hid

acting assistant surgeon; / am twenty-One
years old, and not likely to sacrifice my pO-
litical- manhood at the dietatiOn Of anyone
for the support of such political dema-
gOgues as infest Louisiana at this time.
The day is nOt-far distant when your office
will not be taxed with complaints of such
characters, because the people, of all
classes, in this State, have come to the CON
clusiOn that fOrbeaTance ceases to be vir-
tue, so far as these political demagOgues
are concerned.
Finally, this is not the first Office that has
been complained of at the department, and
doubt much if il Will be the last one

THE RESPONSE.
CARROLLTON, La, July 20,

CARROLLToN, La, July 20, 1872.
First Assistant Postmaster General:
DEAR SIR-Inclosed please find my
resignation as postmaster of CarrOllton,
Louisiana, for the following reasons, The
federal appointees in the city of New Or
leans, Louisiana, connected with the Post
office Department talk st publicly that
will be removed, right or wrong. This, in
connection with the vague complaint in
your communication to this office of the ff
teenth of July, 1872, leads me to believe
that such is the intention of the depart
ment. To support the action of the federal
appointees in this State would require the
sacrifice of every principle of Republican
ism; yea, more, the last spark Of political
manhood possessed by an American citizen.
No official emOlument, much less $40
per month for attending a daily mail,
can induce me to make such sacrifice at the
dictation of any one, high or low. Hence
my resignation is imperative. e,
Respectfully, S. l.. HENRY,

POLITICAL GLEANINGS.

Sarcastic Grantite-YOu've got sumner
and Banks, and now suppose you expect
Grant will come out for Greeley next.
Confident Greeleyite-No, not just yet
We don't want Grant TO come out for Gree
ley until the fourth of March
One Of the leading delegates to the Lib
eraI convention said in the st. Charles HO-
tel: "On the boat which brought me down
Red river were many delegates to ours and
the Pinchback convention, and every one of
them friend to Warmoth." And yet the
Last Ditchers lay the soothing junction to
their gizzards that the Governor has no
friends Poor fellows!
To distinguished Louisianian General
Banks, at a dinner party, once remarked:
'The American people seldom, if ever, get
a chance to vote a man of their choice into
the Presidency. The one most popular
with the masses is generally killed off by
combinations in the conventions, so that
when the time for balloting comes the peO-
pie vote not because they like their candi-
date, but because they dislike his opponent.
They vote to defeat the opponent
1t is evident that General Banks-shrewd
political observer he is, TOBIAS concluded
that the American people have determined
to defeat Grant. Hence his letter.
A special dispatch to the Missouri Repub
Hcan gives this news of local Importance:
Lieutenant Governor Pinchback, of Louis
lana, telegraphed to Sumner this morning
to know whether he had decided to support
Greeley, and lntimating that if he had then
he Pinchback) might do something Sum
ner replied as follows: "My motto is the
unity of the republic and the equal rights
of all, with reconciliation as represented by
Horace Greeley"
The position thus assumed by the distin-
guiehed Massachusetts, Senator, closely fol
lowed by his but little less distinguished col
league, General Banks, is orthodox Repub-
lican doctrine, and justifes Mr.. Pinchback
or any other Republican, white or black in
supporting Mr.. Greeley. That there will
be large accessions of Republicans to the
Liberal ranks is now placed beyond a
doubt
