NEW YoRK, Sept. 25.-A Times Washington
special says: E. s. Hamlin has addressed an
exhaustive letter to the Secretary OF the Treasury
in reference to the negro exodus. From a survey
OF the whole field the writer comes to the conclu-
sion that the negro, in many Of the Southern
States, has no legal protection of person or prop
erty. He lives emphatically under no govern
ment of laws, for the statutes and constitut ional
provisions made for bis protection are systemati-
cally defed and successfully nulliied by lawless
combinations Of white citizens. He suggests
that some kind of organization or organizations,
personal or governmental. should be formed to
ACQUIRE large tracts OF IdDu I'D tue OOuIDeTn |
States, divide them mp and retail them to deserv-
ing men wishing to buy them, by giving them an
opportunity to pay in frequent small INSTALL
ments.
NEW YoRK, Sept. 26.-The Commercial says
Kearney Is gradually getting along in the world.
Having changed his blue flannel shirt for a white
one, his fustian for broadcloth, and having be-
decked himself with chains, watches and other
iewelry, he has now taken to carrying a card
case. Yesterday he called at the Palace Hotel,
in San Francisco, and sent one OF his cards to
General Grant, but the latter declined to receive
the demagOgue. Kearney's effrontery is some
thing sublime. He has as much cheek as a
interviewer, but not as much brains.
That card case is likely to cost him dear among
his blowers
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Tbe Commercial ADDER
saws: General Grant has made another
speech to the Federal and Confederate veterans
in California, the burden of which was that the
united American people would be invincible.
According to the address of the Confederates,
made the other day, General Grant treated the
with great consideration. 1t will be re-
that after the war General Lee said
Iwish to do simply justice to General Grant,
when l say that his treatment of the army Of
Virginia is without a parallel in the
history Of the civilized world.
The South will be likely to remember that
now General Grant is the only living man who
IAN solve the Southern question. His patriotism
Is not confined TO any locality. 1t spreads from
The Atlantic to the Pacific, from the st. Lawrence
10 the Gulf OF Mexico. Situated as he is, being
what be is, he is the only man in the world to-
Law who can bring peace to this divided country.
That would be a greater honor and greater glory
han any he has yet won. lie alone can make
IS invincible to the world
