My DEAR SIR: Allow me to introduce

siduously that his health has been some
what threatened. He visits New Orleans
upon matter of great Importance, not
only to himself but to the public welfare
the re-opening practically of the cotton
trade. lie is gentleman of high charac-
ter, and one whom feel assured you will
be glad TO know, and, so far as may be
compatible with your official duty, to aid
in his undertaking. With full faith that
we shall overcome the rebellion in the end, |
and with assurance of my high personal
regard for you, | remain, sincerely yours,

1t will be distinctly understood that all
the Adore letters are in tile same handnrting
rs that of Doolittle himself.
Governor Yarmouth, of Louisiana,
who may be considered representative
and who has certainly at
tanned to an unenviable notoriety by his
with the politics of that State,
is now identified with the Democratic Lib
eral movement. So, too, are many of the
most corrupt and audacious carpet baggers
Of Georgia and other Southern States. In
Iced, wherever the Democrats have got
INTO the ascendancy these political adven-
lures and cormorants are going over to
hat party. What sense is there, then, in
he oft-repeated charge that President
Grant supports the Southern carpet bag
,ers in their plundering schemes? He has
simply sustained the local governments rec
,gnized by Congress, and looked to it that
he freedmen were protected in voting for
anybody they saw fit, whether honest or
dishonest. Greeley, as President, would
lave had to do as much, or violate his
obligation to execute the laws. There can
,e no legitimate local self government I'M
ess the legally. qualified electors, regardless
# color or place of birth, are permitted to ,
AIRY out their wishes at the polls without {
oercion or intimidation of any kind. If, I
hen, they are occasionally imposed upon
y corrupt men, and bad local government G
esults, it is an evil which must cure itself. /;
