Mr.. W r. Naisnn. of Selma, Ala,
wrote recently to Mr. Greeley inquiriug
II the passage brginuing when the rebel
lious traitors are driven FROM the field ,
attributed by llarper's Weekly to bis pen,
was genuine. Mr. Greeley replied by the
following letter. which now appears for
the drst time in the Alabama papers:
New YORK, Oct 5, 1872
Nv Dear Sir | never wrote, nor
melted. nor imagined the matter you send
me beginning when the rebellious trait
ors are driven from the field &c 2, 1t
was written by one who is now editing a
Grant paper and bitterly hostile to me. 8
It was not published in 1860, as Harper,
Weekly asserts but May g. 1861 after
the bombardment of Fort Sumpter.

 However "grossly ignorant or dere- lict " the aforesaid court may have been, we have no doubt its members will understand the good English of the Department Commander, as we think also will the higher mil itary authorities with whom the now famous members of said court will hardly have inspired even re- spectable contempt. For these reasons we shall close this bit of history in & few more remarks to all whom it may concern.
 Since the appearance of the article on which the charges in the present case were based, Lieutenant Johnston, of said court, voluntarily informed the editor and proprietor of THE ARIZONA CITIZEN, that he fully approved the course of said paper, and that at any time the fact might be publicly stated with his consent-which is now done: and further in point, we now have every reason, except absolute evidence, to believe that Lieutenant Johnston acted in harmony with the ruling ele- ment of that Court.
 If ge7y few drunken and otherwise bad officers, ibelers of Arizona and foul blots on the Army rolls, constitute the army" then THE CITIZEN pleads guilty to abusing the army but if the few such do not constitute "the army" then it pleads entire in nocence of such abuse. The pages of this paper and others we have owned and edited, are marked throughout by evidences of uniform kindness towards the army. and especially for many of its active and worthy officers. For every officer we have criticised in an unfriendly way, at least a half dozen have been mentioned in terms most acceptable to themselves; and all proper successes of the army have been reported with zealous pride and enthusiasm; and the columns of lead ing journals, both east and west, bear witness to the truth of this statement If we now mention pleasantly and encouragingly a civil or military off cer, because we believe him of real value in his station, 1t Is not a guar antee that we will do likewise when we find him to be a public enemy, or ibeler, or disgrace to the nation that commissions and pays him. Public considerations alone induce us to un- favorably criticise any officer, and then his actions form the just basis of the criticism and we here respect fully call attention of the journals of the country and the higher authorities to the Whitman case, the only one ever brought by charges originating in our writings. We also assure them that we court fair investigation of charges made by US in any paper.
 The court in this case has so far as it could, made its members co-equals in the permanent disgrace of Whit as the Generals review states, occupies a worse position than before. The moral cowardice of Whitman is susceptible of slight ex- cuse, but that of the court of none. To conclude this, we emphatically declare that each and every member ,f that court, who approved the second ,1:o4;o,, 4o trial as set forth hy the

IL the ofico-holdors OF the country
did not know, rs the people do, that no
faith is to be put in Grants promises,
the following bit Of information wouil
serve to dampou the ardOr with winch
they are serving their master. 1t is
from that truly, anti-Greoley organ, the
New York Evening Post:
'In conversation with a Republican
Congrcssnan from Ohio, u day or two
ago, President Grant said that in case
Of his re-rlection he intended to MAKE
II general change Of ofice-holdcrs
throughout the country. As u rule, he
said. he did not believe that any person
who held office during one administra
ton should he retained during the sue
cceding one, but that it was simple JUS
tico to keep all faithful officers until
they had served four years
The New York 7,ibme says OF this,
that the d~isloyal may puzzle over the
difference between TIE fish OF the Office
holder; but no well regulated mind will
for one moment inquire why the rule
which applies to Gen. Grants appoint
ees should not apply also 10 Gen. Grant.
That was settled by the time contract,
whereof Col. Fornry was at once nsso-
tiator and historian. The General ac-
cording to Col. Forney. only took the
Presidency on the distinct promise that
no should have it for eight years"

Sumner on Greeley and Grant.

. Washington, May l9.-Hon Charles
Summer held u conversation to-day with
u newspaper correspondent wherein he
said:
Tho Tariff plank ut Cincinnati was
the flrest and lrankest I have ever met
with in my experience Of political con
yHnCions. Heretofore such terms have
boon used rs T. judicious tariff, Il tax
aljording incidental protection, &c,
whereby politicians could demagogue
one way in Pennsylvania and another
way in Virginia. Tho Liberal Republi-
cans Mt Cincinnati made q compromise,
liberal and honest, confessing that they
could not deal in mass convention with
the question, and %remanding it to the
people. The issue, therefore, lost none
Of its Importance and the Convention
none Of its liberal, fraternal and nation
al character. I felt that our politics
had become more plainly, more manly
and less p~reyaricating, when [ read that
plan.
The question was her asked, "1Ir.
Sumner, will YOU appear i'll this cam
paiTn rs II partisan of either Grant or
Greeley"
Mr.. Sumner said, 81 have been per-
fectly neutral. | cannot support Grant
and keep my self-respect or feel that l
am giving my friends sound advice. /
hope that the contest will be made a
personal one between the fitness, the
qualifications, the record and the law
fullness Of the ron. If it grows to be
purely political many persons will
draw the party line. It is, to my mind
lust now, n contest between the big let
ter & and the littleg Grant is the lit
tie 2. Horace Greeley has been an un-
selfish, charitable, liberal, philanthropy
ic man. He has ripened into one peri
cd. All parts Of the country appreci-
ate him. and his name is the symbol OF
good will and lasting peace. I believe
that if the issue be made personal and
put on the ground Of c~hnracterW irant
will be Kissed ont Of the field. The
Democratic party is regaining the con
fdenco of timid men in the North by its
good behavior. The South has gone
far to satisfy apprehension in the North
by ita ~magnanimity toward Greeley. No
body could over charge Mr.. Greeley
with nepotism, the sale Of his influence
or any mercenary %selfshness, I think
the big G will crush out the littleg.
Being Intercepted MS to the possible
fate Of the supplementary clause Of the
treaty. Mr.. Sumner said lie could not
express M opinion upon it. He added,
however:--"Thc Gladstone government
says to Grant: Help Ms to keep in Of
fee and we will have a reciprocal inau-
euce to keep you in office; and Grant
says, 7 accept your proposition, particu-
larly with the amendment which relates

Wouldn't Take Advice.

The Washington correspondent ofthe
New York World says that "the action
of the Democratic State Convention in
Tennessee, in ,udorsiug Greeley and
Brown, has surprised several Of the
Democratic members Of Congress from
that quarter, who telcSrophod recently
to their political friends advising that
do demonstration be made on the Gin
cimnati movement until the action oltho
National Convention had determined
what course the party should pur5ue."
What "a pity it Is that the people ct

speak out their sentiments instead oil
being dumb, as they were advised by
tho members to bo."
