JOHN Brown, JR.. has published
an article in defense of his father
memory from the charges made by
Rev. David n. Utter, in the North
Imerican Recieo. He shows cOnclu-
sively that Rev. Utter relied upon
tiles of hostile newspapers for his
facts. and therefore does great in.
justice to the memory of brave John
Brown. The only fault to be found
with the old hero, and we question
if it is fault. is that he was several
years in advance of the times. The
country then could not sanction his
mode of accomplishing his great pur.
pose. A few years latter the govern
ment adopted equally severe means
to bring about the main end which
he desired. John Brown was a grand
old pioneer in the anti-slavery move
ment.

In his annual report the Postmas.
ter.General discusses the postal tele-
graph question, reviewing the argu-
ments for and against such IA system.
He regards such a move as strictly
constitutional, and thinks that by it
the people would be protected from
the evils and abuses now inseparable
from the telegraph service as it now
exists. The greatest objection he
sees to the adoption of such a system
is the enormous expense incurred.
and the fact that the employment of
a multitude of operators. etc, would
add laI gely to the patronage of the
government. Such increase of pa
tronage, beyond what is indispensable
to the public service, is to be depre.
Gated and avoided. The gist Of Mr..
Grcsham's remarks upon this ques,
ton are that while the benefits result
ing from such move are desirable,
he is inclined to think it lmpractic.

THOSE misguided Democrats who
have been hattering themselves that
consideration of the tariff has been
eliminated from the probable acts of

sufficient heed to the speech made by

"If this had been mere contest be.

OF course Northern men have no
right to inquire into Southern crimes,
but when the knowledge of such
grave Offenses as those committed at
the recent elections is forced upon
us, we must think of them and com.
ment. The Mississippi and Virginia
political murders have demonstrated
clearly that, to put it as mildly as
possible, a considerable number of
the people of the Southern States are
determined to perpetuate Democracy
at all costs, and when man is told
he must not vote the Republican
ticket it is expected that he must
obey. We would be glad to believe
that such reports as come from those
States are wrong, but the facts are
stubborn. proofs clear, and there is
no doubt of their truth. So long as
such a condition of affairs exists in
any part of the country the mission
of the Republican party Is not wholly
accomplished.
