SIXTH LETTER,
dated August 22d, Washington. Ans | wrote
this myself; no one dictated this to me-
Gov. Wise then read from the letter that she
found out that there was great long piece in
the Baltimore papers about them.
Mr. Gale told her so; Ans Mr.. Gale was

said he lived in Washington.
Miss F., by consent of counsel, was then re-

G. NJ Weldon, brother-in-law of Clark, was
sworn and testi6ed-Do not known positively
when Mr. Clark left Manassas for King George
county; staid at my house on his way; had with
him his wife and two children; cannot give the
exact date when they passed my house on their
way to his father. in-law; was very near the last

Cross. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES they left for
King George after the middle of June; had
with them as baggage only three carpet sacks;

BLANKET YOUR HoRsE.-At this season of
the year, when we have many cold, windy days,
horses, when left standing in our streets for
any length, of time, should have some sort of
covering thrown over them to keep warm and
comfortable and prevent them from becoming
chilled. Careful drivers will always do this,
and in passing through our streets it is very
gratifying to notice so many horses kindly
cared for in this respect indicating the pleasant
sympathy and interest of the owner in the wei
fare of his beast. There are those, however,
who possess so little sympathy and care for
their animals that they never think Of protect
ing them against cold, even when sweaty from
hard driving or overwork. Such people ought
never to have the charge of horse, but as this
cannot always be regulated, they should be
compelled in some way to take proper care of
them.

THE New York Liberal Republican pa
pers are warning the people against the at
tempts that will inevitably be made to man.
ufacture reports of disorder and outrage at
the South, in order to influence the cleo
lions and TO justify the interference Of the
military. Says one Of the foremost journals
of the North:
"For months past the common testimony
Of all has declared the South as peaceful as
Massachusetts. The Ku-Klux organization
is known TO have been absolutely aban-
doned. The South we know, yearns for
peace, and Southern men are doing all In
their power 70 secure it."
And yet, N the face of this fact, says a
contemporary, the United States Marshals,
in North and South Carolina, supported In
the latter State by squads of Federal sol.
diers, are actively engaged even now in
making arrests-not scrupling to shoot
down their victims when they attempt to
escape from the clutches of their pursuers
and the vindictiye rulings of the American
Jefreys.

respond now when invited. What does.
It mean? There must have been some
mistake they thought-the notes were not
received, other engagements prevented,
or something of that sort. And SO they
ventured TO make personal questions as
10 the cause. The answers they got
were not resssuring. One did not propose
to 'srun on that track any longer" another
was too busy with bis own affairs to attend
such meetings, and athird was outspoken
for Greeley. The GRANTEES begin to real
lie that "Suttera's the madtterl" They are
going to make an effort to get back some Of

done was expressed by leading chief
Speaking of the Greeley men, he said they

ssThe.. enthusiasm in the convention al

nees has awakened responsive echo from
the Liberal Republicans and Democrats Of
the spindle city,n Last night procession
of 5000, headed by fifty gentlemen who
have hitherto been the ablest and most
prominent members of the Republican par
ty, marched from the Eagle hotel to Har-

made during the evening by p. D. Niver
Hon. David j. johnson, mayor of the city
and paymaster Smith, of Harmony com
pany, all of whom expressed themselves a!
well pleased with the nominees, and conf
dent of their success in November. Oohoe:
may be set down as sure for 500 majority

CROP reports from England are shifting
and variable. Estimates as to the wheat
yield varies greatly, bat il is generally :d-
mitted that it will be deficient on heavy
and ill-drained soils, and the deficiency will
be greater than is expected, unless there is
more than an average period of dry weather
on Ethis side Of harvest. So far as the
grass, root and spring corn crops, however,
are concerned, the weather is undoubtedly
favorable, and possibly abundant crops OF
feeding stuifs may have the effect not Of
chespening The price Of meat, but of check
ing a further advance. - -.-.r.--- T.

IT BOW comes out that Baron GerolS, the
German Minister, retired from this country
with deep sense Of the indignities offered
to him by Messrs. Fish and Brncroh Davis,
of the State Department. This is probably
at the bottom of the GOODNESS shown Gen.
Sherman in Berlin. 1t viii be remembered
that in Russia young Lieut.. Grant was also
cody received, on account Of the discourte-
sy shown by his father to the young Alexis.
This administration has been very busy in
providing for Grants relations, and has
contemptuously disregarded ''the foreign
relations" of the country.

THE Boston Post calls attention to the
rather amusing and slightly significant fact
that since Harlan has purchased an interest
in the Washington Chronicle, that lucky
journal has struck an unusually fat vein of
Federal patronage. Column after column
is filed with advertisements of government
supplies to be furnished at San Francisco,
St. Paul, and other distant points some
days before the announcement in the
Chronicle can possibly be seen there. OF
course the money paid for these advertise
ments is literally stolen from the people to
keep up an administration organ, but what
else can be expected of party which con-
tinually breaches reform and continually
practices every species of corruption?

. DIssUsTED with the puerile twaddle Of
the Grant organs about bargains, the Phila-

"Rorace Greeley can be bought by noman,

thinks be can come to the White house and
demand a guild pro quo with any hope of
success be viii find himself to be the most
mistaken individual in the world.''

"LEr US have peace" said Grant when
he accepted the Radical nomination for
President four years ago. Under his adj
ministration the soldier has been sent to
the peaceful South and the Quaker to the
nurderous Sioux, Apaches and Kiowas. If
the policy had been reversed we should
neither have had SO much distress among
the Southern people nor the settlers on our
