What Gen, Johnston Did Say.

WASHINGTON, January THE Posi-

lowing letter from Gen. Joe Johnston:
TO the Edttor Of the Daily Post;
Sir when the article headed "Gcn.
JohnstOn's Narratye' appeared in the
Philadelphia Press Of December 18th, |
wrote to the editor that the cOnvcrsa-
ton on which the narrative was cvCi-
dCntly founded was not an interview,
and the article 50 Inaccurate that | would
not undertake to correct it. This was
published by him promptly. As that
article seems to be treated In the South
as accurate, and am charged with hay

Confederate bonds carried through North
Carolina, write to deny the charge.
lid not use the language imputed 10 me.
What did say was that the President
ought to have accounted for that money.
It is n Wcll-known practice in this and
all other civilized countries that those
having the disposal of public funds shall
account for them. What said on that
occasion was nm accidental conversation
with one whom | considered much
above the class Of intCrycwcrs. There
fore had no fears of the publication Of
what might say and said good deal
that nothing would induce me to say for
publication, andcspccialyo on the subject
of the funds Mt Greensboro. That part
of the conversation was in connection
with the suhlcctor the application twice
made by me, that part Of that money
should be paid to the army then COM
m0ndcd in North Carolina, which had
received no real pay for many months.

the United States to call for discussion
in this paper Of Federal relations. Alive
and responding to the approach of "a
more perfect mion,"' Virginia, always
in the van Of great national events, fur
nishes grave upon her soil for the veX-
ed question of a color line in politics. -
To-day Virginia stands before the world
offering all the blessings Of free citizen
ship, Of obsolute freedom in politics and
religion to those who seek her borders.
Appealing for harmonious sisterhood
of States, in which sectional iealOuSies
shall be unknown, and in each of which
shall be illustrated the spirit of Amcr-
caniSm, broad as the limits of the CONT
nent, she points the way by leading it,
and by pledging tolerance to every creed
Of party or church, save only the creed
of intolerance and prescription. The
laws of Virginia guarantees equal pro-
lection and privilege to every citizen;
and the people Of the Commonwealth
have ordered that all departments of the
Government shall execute the spirit and
letter of those laws.
