Discrimination Against Republicans.

10 the EdHOf OF Inc NuttOfdt htDUbHcdn:
SIR: l wish. as an original Unionist and
Republican, to thank you for your manly
course in defending the Republican party of
the South from the malicious attacks heaped
upon it. Has it ever occurred to You that Il
so called Republican Administration is respon-
s'ble In large degree for the Solid South ?
Should not Republican Governors rulo in at
least three Southern States while Republican
President sits in the White House? Who
placed him there but Repubicansp Why the
influence of Messrs. Schurz and others over
the present occupant of the Executive Man
sion Why is 1t that Democrat from the
South can more readily obtain position in
more than one Department. than II Rcpubli-
can 2 Is it because Southern Republicans sac
rifced more before, during and since tho war
In behalf of the Union than the Democrats
did?
You are right when you say, as even the ex.
vice-president of the Southern Confedcracy
said lately, that General Grant WAS magnun-
imous. Was 1t crime for General Grant to
give the cold shoulder to Messrs. SclurZ and
others? Did he commit crime by standing
by his friends? Was ever a conqueror more
magnanimous than he? Was not General
Grant moro magnanimous in his treat
ment of the poor soldiers of the South than
even their commanders ?-then Stanton aud
Schurz ever were inclined to be at the close
of the rebellion But did Grant, when Presi.

General Banks, the ilusrious ex.Speaker of
