Editor Bulletin:
This mornings Republican contains syn
opsis of J. I. Derry . History Of the United
States, accompanied by few pertinent (')
and impairment remarks of the editor.
"The history" he says, lis written in the
form of alternate questions and answers,
agreeable to Southern sentiments, and reads
like q catechism for child $ first communion
with treason"
Would that editor deny us the right and
privilege which has been exercised in his IA
natical section for the past half century If
so, the time is, indeed, most propitlous, and the
Grand Lama will graciously entertain any and
all petitions which his faithful worshippers
may address to him; and we earnestly advise
that editor to interview Architect Wheeler on
the subject Of making it penal offense, pun
ishable with Punishment to the Dry Tortugas,
for all matters published or preached in the
South which do not meet with the approval
of the powers that be. For this and all other
measures which those of his affinity may die
tate we are prepared to humbly submit, but
let him or them not task our servile cOnde-
scension to the extent OF having us forego the
proud the undying consciousness that our
success throughout was such that our final
surrender was matter of surprise"
We are proud to say that we speak from ex-
peElence, WHICH IL moEe tuAA Ao NIna. euA.oAJ
can say; and when we boldly assert that that
very "success throughout is the thorn
which has ranked, and is still ranking, in
the Northern heart, and which has goaded
them on in their petty, malignant acts Of
cowardly tyranny since the memorable 9th OF
April, 1865, when Lee stacked the eighteen
thousand muskets which for ten long weary
months had kept at bay the almighty e.
Ulysses and his countless hosts in front Of
Petersburg, We only assert what the whole
world knows and what the editor Of the Re
publican can never forget, much less forgive.

Gross Injustice.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin

Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
In the Republican, Of April TO- was an edi-
torial headed "a Misconstruction," which
preceded a communication from 50 Engineer.
have read in other journals communica-
lions over the same signature, the writer OF
which is evidently in full sympathy with. and
an able champion Of the new movement which
has recently been made among the mechanics
and laboring men, with the object of over
throwing the rule of political demagogues and
rings in our city and State governments
With this movement heartily sympathiZe,
and no one would more sincerely rejoice in
their overthrowing all the Warmoth- Kellogg
bondholding and stock jobbing rings and poll
teal demagogues than would your sub
scriber.
l cry toul, however, Mt one clause or SEN
tence in the aforementioned communication
Of Engineer, and he will allow me to say to
him that he is running the risk of being
classed rs no better than a demagogue him
self, if he allows himself to be betrayed into
making such unjust and untrue insinuations
rs are contained in the subjoined, which is
taken bodily from the communication of
Engineer, as published in the Republican:
"Allow me to say that although the White
League is PROFESSIONALLY blameable for en-
forcing the doctrine Vt assassination to pro-
cure Office" etc.
readily admit that the slanderous lnslnua-
ton contained in the above found a very fit
ting medium OF expression through the col
umns OF the " official Journal" The edltori-
ais Of that sheet have been weighted down
with willtul delit crate talsehoods and misrep-
reservations Of the objects aud purposes Of
the White League, which. while it existed
and when it was IN power, because it was an
organization in the interest Of law, order and
right, shielded and protected from the wrath
OF an insulted and outraged people that mis-
cradle insulter and maigner Of them and
their tellow-citizens, decent people.
The White League was open and above
board to the public. 1t was not a political
organization. nor were politics allowed to be
discussed in its meetings. It sought the
political preterment Of no man, or set Of
men. 1t sought alone the enforcement of
the law aud the protection of the rights of
each and every citizen, without any reference
to his politics; and the insinuation Of EN-
gineer, rs above given, is not only SANDER
Gus and untrue, but it is unjust and IN
generous. S.

NOy.y Blaine.
Col. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia Time

Col. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia Times,
goes for his friend Blaine as follows:
Blaine was in at the death in Connecticut.
He seemed to have a tide Of blunders upon
him lust now. He Numbered in either not
detantly assailing the Administration when
he asSailed its measures or in not accepting
its policy and championing its policy and
championing its authors. He biundered
when he allowed his head to be barred to Ad-
ministration blows by becoming the center Of
a Presidential movement in dubious circles in
Philadelphia, and he Numbered when, after
having been bounded by the Presidents
organ, he yielded halfway obedience to the
arrogance Of power by repeating old-time sec
tional speeches in Connecticut.
He should have gone there to go through
with the party-Force bill, third term and all
- or he should have staid at home, for in the
wreck that followed his capaigning there he
is blamed by both sides tor having been
neither cold nor hot. II Blaine were run
ming any one else tor the Presidency he
would not need to be told that Presidential
candidate can afford to be silent most times,
and can afford to speak sometimes, but
can never afford to speak and mean
nothing; and when, for want Of some
thing sensible to say, he declared
that he desires the Republican party to fight
its own battles on the issue OF eternal sectional
hate Ito stand" as he say, lin '76 and 80
and 81. and in many other campaigns where
our brothers stood from 81 to 65.' He fairly
gets down to the political level Of average car
pet Dagger Legislative candidates in the South,
and OF men of aldermanic and constabulary
ambition in the political slums of our cities.
Blaine wants committee, and must have it
soon, or a once most promising Presidential
nag VIII be string halt and spawned long be-
fore time is called. Silence, James, there's
millions in it

THE pETRIFIED FOREST.

The petrifed forest lies in Santa
Rosa township, eleven miles north
east from the city of Santa Rosa.
The forest is one of the greatest Curl
osities in the State. Last Summer
100 persons, mostly tourists from
the East and Europe, visited this
wonder. There are in the forest
about 800 trees, so far as they have
been discovered, the largest eleven
feet in diameter. The butt and roots
of this tree have been uncovered for
a distance of 6s feet. The trees lie
across belt about half mile in
width from east to west, in tiers
which are slightly concave. There
is . space between tiers of from 100 to
to feet. The trees lie in the tiers at
an angle of 80 to As degrees, the butts
lowest and inward to the north, the
tops near the surface and to the
southwark. The trees were of red
wood, pine and fir. Evans, tn
owner of the forest, has uncovered
about 100 of the trees. Some of
them have the bark still on, some
were charred and afterward petrified.
Petrifaction in every stage and in all
colors may be found among the
debris of fossil forest Santa Rosa
Democrat.
We have visited this remarkable
forest ourselves, and believe it to be
the only curiosity of that character
in the world. A visit and careful
examination of this stone forest is
full of interest to the scientist as
well as the tourist. We have: never
heard a really scientific opinion
as regards these trees. 1t seems as
if the curse of God had been hurled
upon that spot, and the trees stand
ing in their strength and pride, cast
upon the ground, their life-blooc
chilled, their mighty arms and mass
i've bodies turned into stone-a per.
petual monument of His work
while the blue-eyed bluebell and
yellow-lipped lilies bloom in beauty
around their graves; and other trees
standing there in their lofty pride,
like grim and silent sentinels watch
ing the sepulchre of their dead com
panions.

COOP READING.-We have before
us Scribner's Monthly for Deem
Der, and find 1t full of most interest
ing reading matter. 1t is really bet.
ter this month, if possible, than
usual, containing articles of high
literary merit in its several depart
ments Of history, travels, romance
and poetry, rejecting great credit
upon its author, DR.. j. G. Holland,
Q talented writer in both fiction and
poesy. This number opens with an
interesting and well written article
entitled "rhe Tour of the Nile" by
Chas. Stuart Welles, with some nine
illustrations more fully explaining
the wonders Of that ancient land.
The FIRST is OF the aged and time

which the elements have made and

There is also a lengthy descriptive
poem by Walter Mitchell, which
was recited before the Phi Beta Kap-
pa Society OF Harvard University,
also another of the same character
entitled "The Last of the Narwhale
the Story of an Arctic Trip" both
are fine and deserve attentive peru
sal. Noah Brooks has fine article
with unique illustrations called
"Some Pictures From Japan"
throwing new light upon the arts
tic conceptions of these curious peo-
pie, many of these drawings pos
sesses Dore-like spirit in their ale
gorical representations. One of the
most interesting articles is by Major
j. w. Powell on "The Ancient
Province of Tusayan;' "Spanish
Sketches" is also full of interest.
"trench and American Currencies, I"
by Amasa Walker, is an able article
on the finance of the two nations.
Bret Harte's great story of "GabrieI
Conroy," is continued and gains in
terest as it progresses. There is also
an article on "The Site of Solomon's
Temple Discovered" with seven
plans. In fact, there is not an in
ferior article in the whole book, it is
a choice boquet of interesting
articles and in literary merit ex-
ceeds those of any magazine which
has come under our inspection.

The Enterprise" in commenting
upon this fact says "if the canal
was completed, and the wheat crop
of California could be turned
through its channel, it would at a
toll of one dollar per ton, pay in
average years ten per cent. on its
estimated cost" This simply
proves the vast importance of this
proposed enterprise. The Suez
Canal with less encouragement for
favorable financial results, was
built at cost of $50. 600. 900, but it
has proved SO profitable that Eng
land, the most careful of nations,
has made its possession national
investment, by securing the ma
jority Of the shares. There is no
undertaking at present contem-
plated that will add so materially
to our wealth as this, and we
sincerely trust that all necessary
aid will be extended to hasten its
consumation.
