civil war. The eleven thousand million
cf dollars we lost by the war We had
determined 20 forget. 1t was the wager
Of battle. We took the risk and lost,
and have nothing 70 say about it. We
don't ask recompense for It, and
viii not, to that end, lend cur
selves to aEy schemes Of forsy
upon an already overburdened treas
ury. We are in the Union now,
aud are Of it. Our States, by popu-
lation, by the industries of that pOpula-
ton, by intelligence and thrift, by our
pledged good faith to abide the arhitrs-
meut Of the sword and be true in heart
and soul to the Union as to cur own
States, are entitled TO be heard in prefer
enee TO pack OF unmitlgsted scoun-
drels with scarce q gentleman among
them TO relieve them of all the odium
that can attach 10 the Gadshill high
waymen, who vote and work with them.
We hold that il i about time the
President OF the United States, and
the time-ssrving cabinet, the hucEster-
ing senators Of the Morton and COnk-
ling stripe, and all the little fice dogs,
wh0 as editors Of organs bark at our
heels, should understand that we know
we are freemen in a free land; that we
have the same rights here that the best
OF them have, and that We do not mean
to submit to their assumptions, TO their
exaetioUs, nor 10 The demands that such
conventions as that Of Chattanooga may
make for additional reconstruction. We
mean that the people Of the north shall
know in truth what they are and what
we are; and We mean 10 exhaust
every legitimate means within cur reach
10 suppress them as an illegitimste bas-
tard crew, who are a disgrace TO the
country, = blight and blot on
the body polite, q mass Of ex-
e0escence foul with nameless sores
aud odors; plotters Of mischief; IDLE
vicious, vsgrsuts; creatures without
home; wandering vsgabond sdyentur-
ers; parishs aud political highwaymen
equal to any emergency OF crime. They
have already been tolerated too long.
The people north know il and will know
It better before we get rid OF them.
They knOS something Of what We have
suffered at their hands, hence this re-
buke of the Herald, and the re-
Dukes OF the New York and the
Chicago Tribune, and Of the Cinein-
natl Commercial Their convention is,
therefore, a useless work, and will prove
al expiring thrOe, an agony from
which they cannot recover. With the
opinions Of the press and the returns Of
Tuesday before Us this is plain, and it
gives Us heart and hope for the future.
We believe the era of carpetbsg ascend
sney at the south is about to pass away
forever.

thing tO do with TheD.

From the Washington Chronicle OF the lOth.l
Postmaster General Jewell yesterday,
on noticing that certain payment was about
TO be made TO the Erie railroad company
through a claim agent in this city, telegraph
ed to the president OF said company as fol-
lows: ~ desire TO circumference the system
of claim agency relating to business in, or
with the pOstofice department. such agen-
cies TO a greater or less extent, reflect upon
ths good faith and prOmptness OF the govern
ment. desire that business with the de-
psrtment should be conducted by and claims
due ba paid TO the persons or parteS directly
interested, and not with or to claim-agents.
Is this your WISH or do you wish them to go
through third hands? Please state frankly
what commission you pay your agents"
President Jewett replied, by telegraph,
stating that the company had no CLAIM
agency emplOQ Qed on a commission; but that,
for its convenience, and for speedy dispatch
of business, it had employed one at a stipu-
lated sum per annum iOT such services as
might be rendered. II, however, such an EN-
plOyment would in any way infringe upon
such system as the pOstmSstar-general
might wish to adopt, the railroad company,
desiring to conform to his views, would with
draw it
In response, ,Postmaster-CeneralJ Jewell yes
,erday sent the following telegram. Ii may
be considered an authoritative expression OF
his views, which will be Immediately en-
bodied in the department orders:
at is my desire that no agent shall stand
between this department aod any parties
with whom IL has business. Ii any neglect IN
trapsaeting our business or making pay mentS
Is perceived by your company, l beg you " III
promptly lnfoun me OF II, and will try to see
that your interest Is projected. But cannot
permit cafm agents to come around the de-
partments. BY this don't mean the proper
Officers Of the company who wish TO come
here 10 tran saet their business or TO accelerate
