For Reinstatenent 10 tho Railway Mail
Service.

PITTSBURGH, September ia promi.
nent member Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic to-day received a letter from Paul
Yandervoort sr.Commander.in-Ch Chief Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic, in which
the recent action Of Postmaster General
Gresham in removing him from the SER
vice Is reviewed. Vanderyoort admits
that he was absent from duty 265 days OF
the last fiscal year, but says this was by
permission OF Postmaster Generals Howe
and Gresham. Under Howe his pay went
on, but since Gresham came into power
he has only been paid for the time
on duty. In any event, he says, this
charge has been withdrawn, and
Il Is now argued against him that
he vent to idaho contrary to instructions
from the Division Superintendent White,
bis superior. This charge he Denies and
says bis visit to Idaho was for the purpose
OF instructing men on new routes, aud that
White then wanted him to stay longer than
he did. He complains that he was removed
without notice or investigation, and says
that Gresham has been imposed on aud
that he will be satisfied with nothing short
OF reinstatement.

A PLACE OF rERROR.

iue whites ana negroes IN Texas NJ
War.
GALVESTON, TRxAs, September 1.-THE
Ne,rs' Longview special says: A reign Of
terror prevails in every portion Of this
county except, perhaps, Kilgore, from
which place there is no report. The ex-
element is due to the raid upon the whites
supposed to be contemplated by the negroes.
White farmers have their wives and children
in the gin houses and are holding guard
over them. In some communities little
sleep has been had since Friday night, aud
the hsggard face with looks OF fear or stern
determination are seen everywhere, be-
toking the extremities produced by the
blood curdling reports brought in
by each new arrival. Hundreds OF
countrymen were in Longview to-day, and
on returning to their homes carried all the
arms and ammunition obiainable. In
many cases when the last weapon was
called for 0 number. would grab for 1t as
though in desperation, and strive to obtain
it as II their lives depended upon 1t.
A new supply OF fifty Winchesters was
among what was taken by the countrymen.
It is reported that the negroes received by
express at Gladewater, the next station
west, ffty WincheBters, and that
the weapons are being received
by them all over the country.
Probably the whole trouble has arisen
from the threats and speeches OF o few col
ored persons OF bad repute whose course is
not sanctioned, and was not known by the
mass Of negroes. There are indications
that as much fear has been
excited among the latter as
among the whites. However this may be,
the people have been carried to such a
pitch Of excitement that it is certain that
should white person be molested one Of
the bloodiest tragedies will be enacted ever
known.

These politicians, with the exception Of the

Of the Stalwart machine. They were ready
