History corrected, brings out facts and
stories that truth fears nothing but conceal
ment." On the thirtieth of January, 1884,
while the subject for the relief of Lieut.
Greedy and his party was under discussion,
Senator salisbury, of Delaware, uses the fol-
lowing language, which is not historical
as far as it relates to Lieut.. w. L. Herndon I:
remember in the history of this country that
officers of the navy have been assigned to duty
contrary to their wish and against their protests
and unfortunately their lives have been lost.
recall to mind the history of Lieut.. Herndon, of
the navy, one of the bravest men who ever trod
the deck of ship of war, and man of high in
plorations of the Amazon will remember with
feelings of kindness and regard the memory of
that man who persisted by accepting duty that
had been assigned to him by tho secretary OF the
navy. do not remember all the particulars, but
recall that he was called upon 10 take charge of
small vessel for the transportation of certain
the vessel, and yet he was arbitrarily forced and
compelled to take 1t OF resign his commission in
the navy, and he persisted In that expedition
Lieut. w. L. Herndon was lost Off Hatteras
in 1858 OF 1859 while in command of the
New York and Aspinwall steamer Central
America, formerly the old George Law. The
gallant captain refused to leave his ship
while there was q soul on board to save, and
went down with her at his post Of duty, like
the sailor that he was" Again, Lieut.. Hern-
don, in the line of his duty, was never q
"protester !" but action was his watchword.
He belonged to the old stock Of the navy, and
not the new issue. As a shipmate with this
gallant hero in the Mexican war, feel it to
be but justice to his revered memory ito cor
rect the record" Respectfully.

1.-THE Two Veteran Aboltionists" in your
issue Of tho fifth instant ignore the distinc-
ton between the policy of the Limitation Of
slavery and the principle of tho abolition of
slavery, and deny that Wendell Phillips was
an original abolitionist, for the reason that
the struggle for the exclusion of slavery from
the territories begun in 1919, while Phillips
did not join the abolitionists till 1885. The
policy of slavery limitation was based
upon the theory that slavery shut up
in tho states where it actually existed
would die of starvation, and it
was urged by those who beloved that the con-
stitution recognized slavery in the states
whore il actually existed that it could
not be touched by political action. The
democratic, whig, FREQ soil, and tho republic
can parties all agreed that slavery could not
be interfered with under tho constitution in
the slave states, and that fugitive slaves must
be returned. In this view of the constitution
Garrison and Phillips agreed with the
political parties. Their principle as
abolitionists was that as the consti-
tuition recognized slavery, they could
not recognize tho constitution. vote under it,
pay taxes under 1t, invoke its protection, nor
in any way own allegiance to 1t, without
completely with slavery. They, therefore,
80 far as they were concerned, dissolved the
union; they were peaceful secessionists, and
exhorted others who agreed with them to do
likewise. If the two veteran abolitionists"
voted at that early day it would be interest
ing to know with what party they were
affiliated, and on what principle they acted.

A HINT TO BE CAREFUL.
10 the FfIfior

notice that your Man on the Avenue"
has had the hardihood to say that somebody
is responsible for the death of the poor wretch
who died in the shaft for the aqueduct the
other day, and that in your issue Of Jan. 81
you intimate that our imported rulers are not
as attentive to the wishes of the citizens as
rulers under republican government might
or ought TO be.
1t strikes me that such conduct on your
part is little dangerous. to say the least
Don't you know that these military gentle
In an are the arstocrats of the United States
Are they not fed, clothed, and educated at
the expense Of the tax payers, provided with
their positions to the exclusion of civilians,
have their salaries raised in violation of the
express words of the law creating the posi-
tion, paid good salaries during a portion of
their lives whether. they do anything or not
and then are retired on half or two-thirds pay
for tho balance OF their days? Why should
they care for the people? OF course the peo-
pie foot the bills, but that Is nothing but
what these lords of creation have o right to
expect. Then, again, you seem to be q little
unjust In this affair Of tho poor devil who was
killed in the shaft. You seem to think that
Capt. Hoxie or Mai. Lydecker should have
gone in person TO look after him. Why sir,
the idea is absurd. Didn't the Star tell us
that the commissioners had instructed the
coroner what to do after the man was dead,
aud that Maj. Lydecker had actually given
his consent that tho coroner might perform
his duty? What more could you ask? 1t
was only laborer, a eolored laborer at
that. The idea of asking military
officer to leave his home, and that,
too, at night, when the messenger, paid from
the public treasury, was not present to hitch
up his horae and drive for him IL is too
absurd TO talk about You ought TO know
better. If you keep on in this way tho first
thing You know an edict will be issued sup
pressing THE REPUBLICAN, or forbidding the
clerks in the departments from buying it.
To be sure the murder, as you call it, was
the direct result OF HoXio's determination to
build the aqueduct underground, instead of
on the surface, Us Gen. Meigs did; bnt what
is that compared TO the glory to be achieved
by demonstrating, what everybody knows
that ii is possible TO dig hole underground,
even if it does cost more and take twice as
long?
beg of you to DO more careful in the fu-
ture, and not speak so Tecklessly Of our gov
erning lords A CITIZEN.
