Filth Louisville District.

TO my friends in the Filth District.
GENTLEMES-The melancholy circum-
stance to which | am indebted for your
communication, coupled with the distress
ing domestic bereavement we have so
lately witnessed, diminishes the Satisfac-
ton and pleasure which better man
than might reasonably entertain upon
an occasion made by your generosity so
flattering and so honorable. | am OPP
pres sed by conflicting emotions
AS to what is tittest to be done
with respect to YOUR interests aud my
duty. The holding of office has never
entered into any scheme or plan Of life
hitherto contemplated by me; and yet
know of no reason applying to myself
more than to my neighbors why the con-
fidence and Partially you are good
enough TO express should not have their
peculiar value, and, having such value,
why should renouncc them.
The esteem of ones fellow citizens is
not merely u be counted above all price,
but is at once guarantee against unjust
assaults and an answer to calulnny.
In this character, your suggestion Is
most grattul TO me, aud. as much as !
distrust my capacity TO represent you
adequately in the Congress IF the United
States, am deeply touched by it. |
shall take the liberty of believing that 1t
recognizes certain claim | have upon
your private regard, rather than any
ability for public service which you be-
lieve me 10 possess. This would alone
justify me in promptly accepting the
trust you propose. | do this the more
readily, however. because, within the last
two weeks have had the opportunity
10 give some proof of disinterestedness
in refusing TO allow my name to
be used as an aspirant for the
regular congressional term, for which 1t
Is also your business TO name a candidate.
The lamentable event which makes an
immediate vacancy in the representation
has presented the question of standing
for the uneXpired term in new light,
and il majority of my neighbors and
friends are of your mind as to that,
shall be as thankful for their support as
| though they conferred lifelong honors
upon me, and shall, as far as able. exc
cute faithfully the interest committed TO
my keeping.
AS my opinions upon all public ques-
tons are well known TO you, | need not
recite them here. 1t will afford me pleas.
ure, however, to meet my feiiow-citizens
at some time and place 10 be named here
after, although it is my desire TO make
no personal displays, but 10 continue
closely at my present post of duty until
the great battle for honest government
in which we are engaged has been fought
and won. With great respect,

The ST. Joseph Gazette discovers that
Fred Grant is lieutenant of the Seventh

roes of that noble regiment fell on the
banks Of the Little Horn. the country
can rejoice that Fred is safe. Three of
his West Point classmates already fill
soldiers graves, but from the first mo-
ment when Fred began TO draw pay as
an officer of that regiment,
he has been stranger to its
ranks. His uncle Orville and his
fond father were unwilling to trust him
within range OF the superior arms with
which they knew the traders OF the In
dian ring were supplying the savages.
30 they gave him sinecure position on
sheridan staff, with the rank and pay of
Lieutenant Colonel, and left the actual
ightlng 10 such unconsidered trash as
custer, while Freddy went abroad in a
government vessel with General Sher-
man as his private tutor, or loafed
around the white house at the public
expense. If Freddy had been with the
seventh, 1t would not have been sent
with cavalry carbines TO attack 1000
Sioux warriors, armed with the finest
long range rifles, and Custer and his
dead braves would have been living yet

NOT Quite Idiots.

The New York Nation, independent in
politics, takes Of the extremely loyal
Republicans who attribute all misfor-
tunes to the eX-rebels of the South in
this style:
Many comic things occur at nomi-
mating convention, but probably Moth
ing so comic occurred at Cincinnati as
the uproarious appearance which
greeted Senator Logan's announcement
that the late exposures OF corruption at
Washington were the commencement OF
a revolution" by the eX-rebels, consist.
ing in the assassination OF the private
character of every leading Republican in
the land" We noticed that Mr..
Blaine was disposed to take the same
view of the matter in his defense
IN the house of representatives.
and seemed to maintain that the presence
OF 1.-two rebel generals on the sub-com-
mittee had some mysterious connection
with the existence OF his own letters to
Mr.. Fisher, and with his operations in
Little Rock and Fort Smith and Northern
Pacific stock and bonds. Now. all this
may be most excellent fooling: but it is
still foolng. The people OF the United
States may be occasionally simple
minded, but they are not idiots, and it
would take an enormous amount Of elo-
quence to persuade them that it was the
rebels who got Mr.. Blaine into his
railroad operations, or Mr.. Belknap into
his post-trader business, or Mr.. Robson
into his Cattell relation, or Babcock into
his whisky dealings or safe burglaries,
or put Mcdonald into Office, or got up
the Sanborn business, or hired Jayne.
The "rebelS" must laugh consumedly
when they hear that they are at the bot
tom OF the various "investments'' OF our
leading statesmen.
