A WAR ISSUE.

The pastor of Methodist church in Ohio,
who was chaplain of an Ohio regiment dur
ing the war, has recently published an inter
view which he had at the close of the war
with Gen. Robert E. Lee, in the course of
which, in answer to the question as to the
cause of the confederate defeat, Gen. Lee re-
marked:
The most conspicuous reason was the supe-
riority In men and in resources of the North
The United States had all the advantages
land Of boundless wealth, cities secure from
the horrors of civil war, and constant stream
of emigrants to fill up the depleted ranks of
your armies. The numbers against us were
enormous. The population of the South was
never more than 100000. With five to one
against them, the Southerners performed a
mighty work, and made gigantic step toward
their independence.
To this passage the Chicago Tribune takes
vigorous exception, and accuses Gen. Lee of
untruthfulness because the census Of 1860
showed population of thirteen millions in
the South, and demonstrates to its own sat-
isfaction, at least, that the odds against the
haps Gen. Lee was guilty of exaggerating the
strength of his enemy's force and belittling
his own, and perhaps the reverend gentle
man has not reported tho conversation cor
rectly, but the Tribune is still further re-
moved from the truth in its estimates of the
respective strength of the two forces than
Gen. Lee, even presuming that his words
were correctly reported. There were this-
zeen millions of peoole south Of Mason and
Dixon's line at the time Of the outbreak OF
the war. OF these four millions were me-
groes, and therefore non-combatants. Then
q large number of the people of the States
ia question were loyal to tho Union, the
thirteen slave States contributing total OF
1927 soldiers, representing at least two
millions of the population. These soldiers
have been apportioned among the several

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 18.-Contrary to public
expectation, the resignation Of Clerk AM
brose was accepted this morning to take effect
when his successor shall be appointed. In
making the announcement in the circuit court
this morning Judge Baxter said: II would not
have concurred in the acceptance if it could in
any way obstruct the government in pending
or threatened Investigations, or in the prose-
cution of any civil or criminal proceedings
which such investigation may render necessary.
Az understand the Law, Ambrose would be
equally amendable for wrongful acts after Is
before the acceptance of his resignation. We
have been informed of criminal proceedings
instituted against Mr.. Ambrose. When tried
both of us will be called on to preside. We
ought, therefore, to be rs far removed from

reference to giving the investigators free access
to the books and records for further iuyesti.
cation Judge Baxter said: This is not case
for the application of technical law The
facts already tend to show that there are Others
which ought to be exposed. We think We
ought to accept all the aid rendered in good
faith. The exposure Of regulations by officers
upon the government without regard to ani,nus
is in the public interest. 1t is tho purpose to
insure every necessary facility to any one feel
ing an interest in the matter for afuH and

Harvey Officer, ESQ.,, executor and trustee Of
the estate and will Of James w. Simpson,
against the city of st. Paul, the st. Paul Union

IN the complaint that J. w. Simpson, deceased,
was one of the original proprietors of the town
site OF st. Paul, and that acting a such, he
dedicated that part of the levee between Wa
oouta and jackson streets ~ public landing,
for the use of the city and the

grantors reserved to themselves the fec of tho
law, subject only to said public easement, and
that AZ the defendants are about to vaoate that
portion Of said levee to accommodate the Union
Depot company, for the purpose Of Locating
fonr tracks, plaintiff claims that suoh action
will totally destroy 100 feet Of tho property
fronting on tho levee, belonging to the S.mp-
son estate. - -.
. In Wow of these facts tho plaintiffs ask that
the olty be restrained from vacating any por-
tion of the levee and from granting the right
to locate oE-use any other tracks across the
levee except as at present located. An iniunc-
ton will be applied for in case the common
council shall pass the ordinance a. agreed upon
by the Union Depot company.

THE failure OFTHE PEACE POLICY
The indications are that our prediction
as to the outcome of the council with the
Ute Indians will be verified. After the
massacre OF Agent Meeker and his compan-
ions at White River agency, and the subse-
quent slaughter of Major Thornburgh and
a large number of his command, both events
being wholly without provocation, the war
department ordered troops to the front for
the double purpose of protecting the settlers
from the hostiles and avenging the atroci-
ties that had taken place. The troops ar
rived on the scene just in time to prevent the
massacre of the entire commands Of Cap
tains Payne and Dodge. Their safety
assured, the troo IS were in position to
administer Immediate and summary punish
nent upon the miscreants. But OF this
iuncture Secretary Schurz and Mr.. Hayes
stepped in and declared that it would be
cruel to kill any Of the untutored savages,
and orders were sent to stay the march of the
troops, and peace commission was sent out
to treat with the red handed murderers, This
much good has been accomplished: The
women and children captured at the White
River agency were surrendered, and are now,
happily, beyond the reach of harm.
But what else is there to show for the pol
icy7 An effort is now i'll progress to pro-
cure the surrender OF those guilty of the
massacre of Father Meelzer and his aids.

them actively partic: pated in the murders,
they all unite in declaring that
they know nothing of the
affair. They exhibit all the turpitude of q

Board of Public Works


The board Of public works met in ad-
journed session yesterday forenoon for the
purpose of considering the objections to the
assessments for grading Ohio and L'Orient
streets and Park avenue. The Ohio street
assessment was discussed at length, aud
owing to the relative dlsproportion Of the
assessment regarding certain parcels of land,
the clerk was instructed to prepare new alb
stract with the view of equalizing the assess
ment:: The assessment for grading L Orient
street was completed and the clerk was di-
rected to give the confirmation notices.
The assessment for grading Park avenue
was then taken up for consideration and or
dered to stand confirmed. '4
A bill from Isaac Staples, for lumber sup
plies, amo uniting to 1892, was submitted
and allowed.
The assessment for constructing q num-
Der of sidewalks, under contract with John
Whaley, dated June "a, 1879, was oomplet-
ed, and the clerk was directed to give tho
confirmation notices.
The bid of Contractor Farrell, for the
construction of a number of sidewalks, was
formally accepted and the bond approved.
Tho beard then adjourned for tho purpose
of allowing the special board, consisting of
Messrs. Timme and Harrington and Mr.. ].
G. Terry, an opportunity to consider the
assessment for the Lafayette avenue grad
ing. After brief discussion the clerk was
directed to furnish abstracts of all the prop
erty to be assessed. Adjourned.

Total Southern States. 4

1t will thus be seen that Gen. Leo did not
underestimate the population allied to the
confederacy-that there was scant seven
million whose loyalty to that cause was
pronounced. If We add to the population
of the North the six millions and over, in
GLIDING negroes and active Union men and
their families, enlisted in the federal army,
We find that the Union could boast the sup
port of twenty-four and half millions of
people. The proportion of those passive on
each side was probably equal, SO that the
odds against the South were about three and
half to one. No other outcome of such
an unequal struggle could be expected.
The figures We have given have another
significance that Republican partisans are
10th to admit. They show that during the
war the South was not solidly disloyal to
the Union, and that that section has some
claim to tho credit of preserving the Union.
The Union soldiers from these States we're
among the bravest of the brave, and proved
of infinite value to our army. Their familiar
ity with the country rendered them invalu-
able as scouts and guides. Those from the
border States were regularly organized into
regiments and companies, while many others
were attached to the regiments from the
Northern States and fought side by side
with tleir brethren for the honor of the
flag they held SO dear. It required degree
of patriotism in these people to fight against
their own kindred that We at the North
know little Of. Brother was striving against
brother, father against son, the one to tear
down the flag Of his country, the other to
uphold It. The heroism of the Southern
recruits to the Union far snrpasses anything
in modern times, yet it to-day avails them
nothing, for they are loaded with
abuse and denounced as traitors
in connection with those who fought to de-
stroy the government simply because they
choose to cast their lot with a party under
whose rule they can hope for justice, good
will and harmony.
We confess to surprise that paper of the
presumed responsibility Of the Chicago Iri-
6une should denounoe all these who stayed
at home at the North as copperheads and
traitors. Such vituperation was once fash.
ionable. Yet if the facts were known it
would be found that the Republican stay-at
homes outnumbered those of the Democratic
persuasion about three to one. The 'tfire in
the rear'' Of our armies did not proceed from
the Democrats or knights Of the golden cir
Gle, but from the rascally Republican shoddy
contractors, suffers and money spectators,
who, by their outrageous frauds and extor-
tons came we'll nigh wrecking the govern
ment upon the rocks of financial bankrupt
cy. These are the men who merit denun-
citation. These are the men Who robbed the
wives and children of our gallant soldiers
while their protectors were bravely fighting
the battles of the Union, and they are ell to-
day of one political faith. They are not
now, nor have they ever been Democrats.
