NJ. EditOr:-I see in THE STAR of this eve
ming paragraph signed 18th street northeast"
which, il seems to me, should not he passed
over without comment. lt regards the recent
OutrageS committed in the uOTthea stern par,
of the city. and concludes thuS:-"W When q
woman is outraged she is ruined forever |
wondered, rs | read, whether the author OF
that sentence had considered how it would
sound to those young girls who have recently
suffered So cruelty. II il to be presumed that
the ruin alleged refers to the character of the
woman and her standing as a member of So
ciety. IL is difficult 10 imagine how these can
DE affected 10y anything but the acts of the in
diYidual herself: yet, since the paragraph
cited shows that there is some one who thinks
differently, il seems well that some protest
should be entered. The probability is that 18TH
street northeast only imagined that hc
thought so. and that if he had really thought
AZ all, that sentence never would have been
written.

THE ST. LOUIS FREIGHT TARIFF
MODIFIED.

We find it stated on the authority of Cap
tam AID Storm, the Memphis agent of the
st. Louis packet company, that the unjust
and injurious discrimination recently made
by that company-or, as the freight commit
tees communication said, "perpetrated" by
it-has been either changed or removed.
The new rate, the authority states, is twenty
five cents barrel and twelve and half
cents hundred between Memphis and st.
Louis, while it is thirty cents and fifteen
cents to Vicksburg. The rate to New Orleans
is not announced as we write, and until we
know it we cannot.assert that full justice has
heagnt committee. If Memphis is charged
twenty-five cents while New Orleans is
charged only twenty cents, the discrimination
has been merely modified, not removed. If
Memphis is charged twenty-five cents and
New Orleans twenty-five cents also, dis
elimination still exists, for Memphis is only
four hundred miles from st. Louis, while
New Orleans is twelve hundred. The
modification, however, although it may
leave the wrong in principle just where it
was before, shows that the remonstrances of
the freight committee and the comments of
the APPEAL have at least shown the officials
of the st. Louis company that they "were on
the wrong track" 1t is with pleasure that
we see the company take the step toward the
right that it has done, and we sincerely hope
that now the rectifcation of the wrong done
has been commemorate commencement
be all-it will be proceeded with until all
cause of sore feeling is done away, and the
harmony that SO long existed between the
company and Memphis in former times be
restored, never more to be interrupted. Mem
phis, however, though it may be placable and
willing to accept in kindly spirit the restor-
alton of a justly proportional tariff of freight
charges, will submit to no discrimination that
is injurious to her commercial interests. A
city commanding as much trade as she does
upon the Mississippi river is not powerless,
and if necessary she will make that fact evil

she is officially credited with 146 GA citizens,
to which, if we add an only five per cent. IN
crease of A., $50 votes in six years we have a
total vote in 1876 of 100, 594, or 1000 more
than the figures which appal the man on
horseback Grant is ignorant, more SO than
his figures would indicate, if he does not
know that there were frauds perpetrated by
the Republicans IN South Carolina ana In
Louisiana, of which he does not say word.
But he does know, no man better, that frauds
were perpetrated, and that the Federal troops,
instead of being in the west to protect settlers
against the depredating Indians, were held
in the south for the purpose OF intimidatlng
the people of the south; and that this failing
he invited Sherman, Garfield, Hale & Co., to
go down to Louisiana, and Noyes q Co., to
Florida to steal the votes of the people, and
that they succeeded through perjury and
subornation of perjury in their nefarious mis-
sion. And above ali, he knows that the laws
of Louisiana were so framed by the Radicals,
in violation of the constitution of the United
States, that the votes of whole precincts
and parishes could be thrown out, In other
words, that respectable populations could be
DISTINGUISHED if two or more negros before or
about the time of the election would swear
that they had been intimidated by threats or
overt acts. Grant cannot successfully defend
the Radical robbers, he is not Radical politi-
clan enough for that; at least, he cannot shift
responsibilities for their crimes to the should
ers of his victims.

GRANT AND THE FIGURES.

IT seems that General Grant has changed
a great deal since he went to Europe. Here
he was almost silence itself, there he is as
garrulous as an old woman. He has given a
loose rein to his tongue, and talks with vol
utility that would argue desire for repu-
tation which here he did not seem anxious to
make. At Antwerp, the other day, he had
dreat deal to say about home affairs, and, as
we are told by the correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press
When aliusion was made IN his presence to the
clamor about fraud In the late Presidential election
he remarked that the assertion that the popular vote
showed DE- mocratic majority a palpable alb
d y mnSn Inc 9shres we're examned Ihat me real
SIDE. Look, for example," said he lat New York
The entire vote of that state in 1868 was 849,766
In 1872 1t was only S27 ,S37, out of which the Re
publican ticket had majority of 53,42O; YET in
II 20 the entire vote was raised to 1011 ,156, an in
the growth OF population. Out of this the Demo-
votes than it had the preceding election and this
100, aIthoush the Republican ticket gained $4,000
been an an honest COUNT And vet It has been
tolerated and conceded by the Republican party"
Mississippi. In 1872 the entire PRESIDENTIAL vote
was l29,107, OF which the Democratic ticket
was l64,778, out of which were counted for the
democrats l!2,ll3, giving their candidate major
formed with regard to the situation of that Stale can
believe that such count was an exposition of the
preference Of the electors Also of South Carolina
In 1872 the entire vote was %, 1913, of which the
Democrats only claimed % q03; yet In 1875 the en-
tire vote is run up to 1881, and the Democratic
vote 10 9ly44O Can anyone believe that there
neither fraud intimidation in securing such re-
results? No; the real fraud has been perpetraed BY
those raising the cry of Fraud. The general seemed
perfectly familiar with the figures ana the results
He appears TO have studied the southern question
very thoroughly.
The correspondent, in the conclusion thus
reached, proves himself as grossly ignorant
as to the correct figures as General Grant is
of them and of the south. If General Grant
had consulted the american almanac, he
would have found that the voting population
of New York was, IN 1870. 981 ,5S7, and that
adding. to that FIVE per cent. increase for
the years 1871 and 1872 he would have in
the latter year ,O79, 745, or over IS, 900 more
voters than were voted IN 1876. General
Grant is also outraged that the vote of Mis-
sissippi, which in 1868 was given at 129, O67,
was increased in 1875 to 164,778 If he will
turn over to page 26I of the american Alma
nae he will there find the voting population
IN 1870 put down as 169, 737, over $500 more |
than 'h- total vote cast six years after So |
with South Carolina, which Grant credits !
with 95.l93 votes in 1872, whereae y 1870
