THE YELLOW SHIRT.


1t Don't Fit Gov. blackburn of Kentucky.
WAsHINGroN, September 7, 1879.
To The Editor of the National Republican:
SIR Your courte sy on former occasions en-
boldens me to ask a short space in your col
umns to perform one of the highest duties
men owe TO each other-I mean to defend an
absent friend. THE n ATIoNAL REPUBLICAN,
whilst partisan, is generally just and for that
reason the paragraph about Dr. Luke p. Black
burn, now Governor of Kentucky, which ap-
peared last Friday must have been inserted
under misapprehensiou.
Governor Blackburn has Explained" the
charge that he attempted to disseminate vel.
low fever In the Northern armies by impreg
mated clothes. He did so in q court of justice
In the Dominion, and /, more perhaps than
any other one man. am in the best situation
TO promou nee this once exploded charge abso.
lutely ond entirely taise.
During the war of the rebellion | was the
proprietor Oi the Doncjana Hotel, in Mon
trcal; IL was the headquarters Of the Confed
crates In tho Dominion. DIR. Blackburn was
guest at my house for years, and j know
enough of his general character, rs II manly
man, opcn.heartcd, brave aud as necessity
tonder.hearted, to deny the charge against him
that he would be guilty Of so dastardly AN act.
bul Nlth Alt CHUIBe was HTSt lIlhUp, tearing
In the excited condition of the public mind
that he would not receive fair, trial, Dr..
Blackburn concealed himself. / assisted him
IN so doing. After time, when the excite
ment had cooled down, he surrendered to tho
Canadian authorities. He was admitted to
bail, and stood his trial before Canadian
judge. All the facts were elected, aud he was
acquitted OF the charge. The evidence was
submitted to President Johnson, and he was,
like Others engaged in the rebellion, par.
dOued.
This trial and acquittal before competent
court, where it is admitted justice is rendered,
should relieve Governor Blackburn from the
infamy that some are endcavoring to attach to
his name. His devotion to the Confederate
cause and his noble conduct in 1867 and 1873,
when he volunteered to fight the yellow fever,
have endeared him to the people of the South,
aud ! am sure your sense of justice and linowl-
| edge of the Southern people will satisfy you
that these are sufficient reasons why he should
bo honored by them. Respectfully,
NJ. MCKEoGH.

Nj. LEON CHoTTEAU is occasionly alluded
10 by journals that should know better as
an agent of the French government. He
Is and was nothing of the kind. When he
came to this country as the agent of a syndi-
cate ofFrcnch tariff thinkers he caused or per-
mitted the impression to 90 abroad that he
had vicarous powers for the negotiation of
n reciprocal treaty Of commerce. Beingex-
tensvely advertised and talked about and
written about in this connection-doing
much of the incidental work himself-he
has succeeded in deceiving many well-in-
tentioned people into the belief that he
is really friend of American producers.
But the very reverse is the case. He is
simply an adventurous schemer, and has
never enjoyed any Official recognition either
in this country or in France, As to his
treaty of reciprocity, the existing condition

THERE is something really and commen-
dably pathetic in the quick response OF the
Confederate soldiery TO General HOODS dy-
ing request that his former comrades in
arms should provide for the welfare of his
orphan children. 1t illustrates the true and
knightly instincts of the South, and is note
worthy for that reason rs redeeming to some
extent the reputation of section wherein
so much that is black and damnable is done
in the name of chivalry.

MR.. IS. BLACKIE, professor of Greek, Ed
inburgh University, Scotland. in a recent
communication to leading newspaper
says that he has become so convinced of the
essential injustice, impolicy and social peril
of the existing British land laws that a
ministry ought to be at once formed, pledged
to deal at once and forever with their re-
form; and that the present system of lock-
ing up the land, Gods catholic gift in the
soil, by artificial enactments in the hands
of few, is a system which tends directly
to breed hatred betwixt class and class and
to SOW the seeds of communism and revo-
luton.

THE Buffalo Courier is candid enough,
speaking for the New York Democracy, TO
admit that it, party cannot hope for an
easy victory over Mr. CORNELL Like its
metropolitan cotemporary, the World, the
Courier seems TO appreciate the experienced
ability of Mr.. CORNELL as political man
ager, aud is frank enough to warn it, fol-
low-partisans of the dangers which confront
them.
