As u .plaiu answer TO the absurd
charges OF certain portion OF the press
that Governor Tilden's authorized
agents send ready made editorials to the
Southern and Western press. advocating
his nomination, we subjoin the following
from the New York World. an impartial
sheet. not supposed, now. to support
the great reformer:
A ridiculous story is going the rounds
otSthe party press, to the effect that
Governor Tilden has authorized ~ ifrm
of advertising agents. represented by
that humorous Radical stirrer-up Of
strife. Mr.. Petroleum V. Nasty. to send
out circulars to Democratic papers in
the South and West recommending Mr..
Tilden as the very best possible can
didate OF the Democracy ut st. Louis
Possibly this may be regarded by MIR.
Nasty as n fine stroke of humor, posi-
bly, as n clever device to mislead the
rural Democracy into the pit OF psrdi-
ton. 1t ia In fact very low and dis
areditable trick. obviously intended ms
foul blow at Governor Tilden; and
the rural editors who are supplemented
enough to publish Mr.. Nasby's extracts
and then TO charge the agency $40
for doing 40, will probably find them
selves referred when they send in thor
bills. TO the money-order Office at the
Confederate Cross Roads.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.

Yesterday the Committee confined It's
labors exclusively to the putting IN
order of the chaotic mass Of information
it found here on its arrival. Monday
the examination OF witnesses will be
resumed and pushed forward with vigor
Much difficulty was experienced at the
start to get at the proper parties to tes-
tify. The Ring had had ample time to
prepare for the advent Of the Commit
tee, and the most important witnesses
could not be found but matters are
now assuming ietter outlook. and the
Committee hopes to achieve some good
and useful work this week. 1t may not
be amiss to tell our friends, both in the
city aud country, who may possess any
valuable information regarding the
many crimes of the Federal usurpers
throughout the State. that they should
not fail to communicate the Same at
once to the committee, with full par
ticulars relating thereto. and thus help
70 expose the hideous infamics Of out
oppro5sors.
The Radical press is much concerned
about the $4,000 allowed by Congress fol
the Louisiana investigation. These
newly converted zcalots, in their sense
less rawlings abous reform, forget tc
mention that the kuklux Committee
sent down here some years ago to lnVeS
tigate and Islander our people cost tho
General Government some $4,000.

We publish to-day II letter from our
Washington correspondent. "BlJou,
i'm which no reviews tho political sltua-
ton and tho Presidential question.
Whilst we indorse many Of his views,
we are not prepared to say that Gen.
Hancock would be the chocie OF the
South, but, il nominated, there is no
doubt our people would give him their
entire support. feeling confident that
with him the country can point to an
honest. worthy and national President.
Our own opinion is that Coy. Tilden Is
the strongest man the Democratic
party can nominate.

Our reporter was mistaken IN stating,
Thursday evening. in the DEMOCRAT that
the Merchants Mutual Insurance Com
pany was the only company holding out
in the suit OF the insurance companies
against the Firemen's Charitable Asso-
citation. Such was not tho case. as at
that time SEVERAL companies were act
ing in unison with tho Merchants Mu-
tual. though we learn from the Presi-
dent OF the Association that the suit has
now been discontinued by all the com
panies. There was no purpose on the
part OF our reporter to place the Mer-
chants Mutual in wrong position.
He was simply misinformod rs to the
facts. which we very much regret.

The people OF this community are
getting very tired Of seeing this man
name continually in print. and more
particularly Of being compelled from
dav TO day. to read of ,he scandals with
which it is invariably coupled. The
subject has become nauseating in the
extreme. That Barrett's character is
not quite rs fresh nc newly caught cod
fiah. we are neither desirous nor dis
posed to dispute. His checkered life,
every square Of which seems to be dyed
in darker and darker hues. may have
entitled him tn all the obloquy
heaned upon him and the detestation
It. may also be admitted that
the Penitentiary has been cheated Of
one of it's most deserving inmates IT
Barrett has not yet found his way into
one of its cells. But the war which is
now being waged against him smacks
too strong of persecution tn be passed
by unnoticed. Besides. third parties
are sometimes a1rayed and made to suf-
fer for Barrett's sins. as occurred on
Rampant street ~ few nights ago. As
long M Barrett served tho purposes of
the carpet bageers Of this State no was
thought to he IL nice. clever young
man, but since his suueaing. in
the case of Norton especially.
there IL no term or proceeding
harsh enough for him. and offences
which ho committed months and years
ago. are brought M now, to all appear
ances, in a mere spirit Of vindiotiveness
and not for the purpose Of subscribing
the ends Of Justice. Some OF the charges
not only bear malice on their face. but
evince oulpability and official perjury
on the part of those who failed to bring
them at the proper time. There is no
excuse for this condition of affairs. Bar
rett. whatever his errors and faults may
