Dear Sir: | have received yours of the

expressions it contained The evil in
huence to which you refer as causing
the bitterness felt toward Southern men,

to the sober sense of the people if they
shall, like yourself detect the sordid
motive for which stimulants are admin
istered. | will not, like the telegram
you cite, regard this attempted assassi-
nation of the President. lam thankful
the assassin was not q Southern man,
but will say | regret he was an Ameri-
can. This crime, black enough in it.
self, has deeper dye, from the mer.
cenary motive which seemed to have
prompted it. sincerely trust the
President may recover, that the start
ling event may arouse this people to the
consideration of a remedy for the demon
alization which wild hunt after office
is creating.
With best wishes for your welfare, |
am, very truly, yours,

NEARLY oil tho papers have had long or
sbor. obituary notices Of the late Dean
Stanley, who died the other day. His father
WAS bishop in the church of England, and
he himself was al able and learned minister
of the same church. He was an author Of
note, having written number of books. He
was made dean of Westminster in 1864.
He was man. no doubt, pure in character,
and be was earnest in all his convictions and
endeavors but he WAS exclusive in his nature
having been reared in the elevated ranks of
English society and never evinced any
sympathy for anything outside of those
ranks. He was in this country little while
ago, but he did not seem to impress our peo-
pie or to BIO impressed by them favorsbly.
Our ways and thoughts were too democratic
for his sristocrstic ideas. While tho world
WAS no worse off by his living, we do not
conceive that it has been any bettersd
thereby. A negative man, he followed a
fixed groove which never went out Of the
routine of formalities and mere amenities.
