GRANTS HELP TO THE FRENCH.
How tho Germans Regard the Speech OF
Carl Schurz.
From the New Yorker Journal |

1t cannot be denied that during the Franco.
Prilsslan war the United States were an arse
nal for France; nay. more; 1t cannot be denied
that our government not only furnished arms
TO France, but was that countrys patron, Just
as England was the abettor of the South du-
ring the late civil war. The Republican party
Is answerable for Its overt acts; is answerable
for the administration elected by 1t, and 1t fol-
lows that 1t disavowed, like the last Demo
cratic State Convention, the heads OF our party
in the State of New York, and branded them.
It Is not here the question whether or not a
Democratic administration would, under the
same circumstances, have acted as did Presi-
dent Grants administration. President Grant
did act in this way; did 80 do violence to the
law OF nations and our own neutrality that
many thousands more of the sons Of The land
of our birth were forced to die on the bloody
fields of France than otherwise might have
died. and Grant and his party are answerable
for this.
From the New.Yorker Demokrat, Feb. 22.l
The expectations OF the assembled masses,
who had come 10 listen to the words Of the
senator FROM Missouri, were more than full
filed. As we have said, 1t will be In vain that
the clldile, which strives to acquire the unen-
viable reputation Of being the champions of q
false and destructive system, will exhaust
themselves in the attempt to counteract or
even to weaken the effect of this speech.
The empty room after Mr.. Schurz had finished,
and Senator Morton arose to make weak
reply, (which was directed, not against the
IDcontrovertbe arguments of his predeces-
sor, but against his person. and the adjourn
ment OF the session resolved upon imme-
dately after Morton's speech, are strong
evidence of this circumstance. We regret
that we are not able to enter into the particu-
lars OF this important speech, of which,
especially,.s the successful extinction of
the amendment of the senator from
New York was brilliant point. We
can, however, not avoid noticing, above all,
The honorable testimony which the German
senator paid to his countrymen. 1.-The Ger
mans of America" he saId "belong to no one;
least of all do they belong to mat class OF
politicians who cling in despair to power. re-
gardless of the soil through which that class
will drag them" What person, having truly
at heart the honor of the German name and
the true sphere OF German influence upon the
destinies of our adaptive Fatherland, cannot
wish that the Germans of America, to what
ever party their political convictions may
lead them, would cause to be realized this
honorable testimony Of their courageous
champion The opportunity for this will be
offered In limited and more extended circles,
and we hope that the German citizens Of the
Union will not forget those words from the
senator from Missouri and the duty TO respect
them.

Il EULOGY OF LEE.
Celebration Of Washington's Birthday
In GreenvflIe.
[pRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

[PRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
GREEv1LLE, 8. c., February %.
The event of this week in Greenvllle was
the eulogy Of General Easey on General R. E.
Lee. 1t was delivered in the courthouse last
night, the 22d February, the birthday of Gen.
eral Washington. There was splendid au-
dlence and great enthusiasm to hear General
Easley, one of the foremost men of the up
country. The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. Ellison Capers, one of the dis
tinguished generals of the Confederate army.
James Birnie, Esq, presided at the meeting.
General Easley Is most impressive speak
er, and eloquent and original In thought and
style. He compared Washington and Lee,
showed their resemblance, and pronounced
them the two great and good men America
Southerners and shareholders. He then spoke
of the different result Of their lives, equally
great and good, and yet one crowned with cue
cess, and the other the hero of the "Lost
Cause" He compared the Caucasian and
Alrican-the one in all ages leaders In civillza.
tion, science, art; the other sunk in barbar-
Ism. At one point. In burst of eloquence,
he asked with thrilling emphasis: "WhO ever
heard of black Alexander or ablack Cesar
of a black Aristotle. or black Homer-of
black Milton or black Bacon ?n He took up
slavery neXt-contrasted Abraham and St.
Paul. with Exeter and Faneuil Halls, the
teachings of the Bible with the fanatlcism of
the day, and intlmated pretty strongly that 1t
wonld all wind up in the extinction of the
black man.
1t was an able and eloquent discourse. and
intensely Southern In tone and feeling. He
was often cheered by his audience, who were
generally most intensely Southern. The people
here are but poorly reconstructed, and The
course of the government at Washington aud
Columbia Is making but few converts to the
present order. Cancellation, kindness, gene
rosity at Washington would have been the
true policy, but oppression and persecution
have but eDgendered bitter hatred. "Oppres-
sion," says Scripture, "maketh a wise man
mad" SoMERs.

M,ssfs Brooker, at their saw mill, near that
place. exploded, killing four men aud wound
Ing fifteen. The names OF the killed are Will
son, Quillian, Brlnkly and Chasain. Chastain
was little boy. and was blown one hundred
yards through the trees, and was torn to pieces
BY tree top. Such sight was never seen be-
fore. Mr.. Brinkly was thrown fifty yards, and
was torn to pieces on stump, his head strlk-
ing first. Wilson and Quillian were young men
of The first families OF the county, and their
loss is felt by the vicinity.
Mr.. Brooker was In charge Of the mill and
says he was wailing for steam to saw an oak
log when the explosion took place. Strange
to say, the engineer was not killed. The
boiler was thrown one hundred yards through
the woods, tearing down large trees in its
flight. The lumber yard looked like slaugh-
ter pen, for the blood and limbs Of men were
scattered over the whole place. Nothing re-
mains of the mill but the saw, the engine be-
ing thrown in every direction for three miles,
as some parts of the engine was pickedup &C
tually three miles from the place of explosion.

Evidence from different sources all point
to condition of affairs In tho late Confed-
eracy hardly comprehensive by Northern
readers. The leader OF tho Confederate
forces did not admire the secession movement
at the frst, nor did his love Increase for that
government after he had been placed In COM
mAnd. Devoted to his State, he was satisfied
to defend Virginia, aud, according TO the
statement Of ultimate friends would have
been perfectly satisfied II some compromise
could have been effected by which the old
mother Of Presidents and Of States could
have made hCr peace with the General Gov.
crnmont, leaving Mr.. Davis and his sham
Confederacy to take care Of itself. Not Sec
ing his way clear, and no body Of civilians
protesting against the Davis dcspotlsm, the
unfortunate Nlrgluian remained In the field
and lost oil In a hopeless cause.
The herrsY nf State znvcrelgnty tD Lee was
