The feature Of the Presidents halt at
Chattanooga, Tenn, was a banquet given
in his honor on Thursday evening. At
this banquet Postmaster General Key
made a speech intended to be explanatory
Of the expression "errins brethren"
which he had used in one Of his New
England speeches, and for which be has
been severely criticized by Southern
newspapers, HIS explanation was not a
succss, He seemed to embaras. himself
and the company present. The affair is
thus alluded to in q special tn The cinein.

The banquet tonight wAs sigRAltzed by
speech OF Postmaster General Key that
will attract attention. The toast to which
he responded was "The Postmaster Gen.

personal explanation Of his Bennington
expression "erriDg breIhren.' lie in

tion OF the southerners, and pointed TO
the results Of The war as proofs. Loss OF
slavery, loss Of property, loss Of life,
failure to establish new government
all these showed that II was 4 great mis-.
take to have began the fight at all. He
said II any good was gained by the war,
il was the emancipation OF slaves, if that
was good, and In the next breath In

the things that would have been saved il
the war had not been begun. The speech
was heard in silence and with concern rs
to its effect. Mr.. Key himself seemed
greatly embarrassed BY the manner in
which his speech was received, and he
closed his remarks abruptly. There was
evident uneasineSs as TO the propriely OF
his utterances. The banquet was attend.

one.half OF whom were ladies. Gen.
Wilder was Master OF Ceremonies.
Tue Postmaster General should not
have attempted serious explanation Of
what most persons understood at the
time to be a iocular remark to the New
EugIanders. In the nature Of things
there is no serious explanation Of such a
quasi discriminating expression by one
occupying the Postmaster Generals posi-.
