Sir-For reasons affecting the public welfare,

HAzEEHURsr Copah County, Miss.
June ., 1883.
Hon. VIM f. Villas, Postmaster-General, Washing
SRI am in receipt offs your communication
of the 2Sth ultimo, in which you say, for reasons
affecting the public welfare. not known to the
Department when my appointment was made,
you are requested by the President to ask my
resignation, etc; but you fail to state what
these reasons are. l think this act of
great injustice to me, and feel that / have the
right to know what those reasons are that affect
the public welfare and render me Ineligible
to hold Office under the Constitution of the
United States. That instrument guarantees to
the vilest criminal in the land the right to know
the nature and cause OF the accusation brought
against him, to be confronted by his accusers and
to make his defense. This sacred right how
ever, has been denied me, why do not know,
unless it be upon the idea that TO defend or deny
would be useless. since the slanderOus reports or
the Northern Republican newspapers seem to be
conclusive proof with the administration of any
charge that may be preferred against Southern
Democrat. However that may be. should re-
sign it would be taken as a plea of of guilty and
until l know with what | am charged | should
dislike to file such plea. l, therefore, must
respectfully decline to comply with the request
of the President and shall Withhold my re-
signation, and at the same time do most respect
fully ask that specific charges be preferred
against me, if any there be.

A CHAPTER OF WAR HISTORY.
It Was Wade Hampton that Saved the Rebel
Army at the Second Battle Of Bull Run.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 13.-The News and
Courier publishes long letter from Gen. Wade
Hampton, correcting errors in the recent
articles Of Generals Johnson and Imboden
touching the first battle of Manassas or
Bull Run. General Hampton shows that the
Hampton Legion, 600 strong, which lie com
manded, arrested the victorious columns of
Sherman and Keyes, who were driving the con
federate forces back, and that the legion so de-
layed the federal advance as to enable confed
crate reinforcements to be brought up. The
News and Courier gives an elaborate review of
the battle, the history OF which, it claims. must
now be rewritten. Its conclusion is that Hamp-
ton was to jackson at Manassas what jackson
was to the whole confederate left. Hampton
saved Stonewal Jackson as jackson saved the
Ieefon. Nh der terrible loss that gave Jackson
time to bring his troops into position. Had he
not had the opportunity to form the Nirginians,
who afterwards stood like stone wall, the
battle would have been irretrievably lost. The
opportunity to form those Eireinians was given
to Jackson by Hampton and his men, and was
given by them alone.

GENERAL GRANTS CONDITION.
The Marvellous Improvement Continues, but
there Is No Hope of Permanent Relief.

MOUNT McGREGoR, N. Y. July 13 DIR.
Douglas said this morning that General Grant
had passed good night, and when asked how
how many hours his patient had slept the Doctor
evidently felt it needless to 60 into minute de-
tails of so quiet night The General went
through the night with little or no cocaine, and
this morning he was bright and his spirits inn
proved, as has been the case every Monday for
four weeks. The sick man is taking food
plenteously, and has swallowed his liquid nour
lshment to day without apparent pain. His
voice is clear and stronger this morning and
his pulse has greater volume than yesterday.
The ftfully vicious disease of cancer has
seldom developed change so remarkable as that
which marks the closing hours of General
Grants first month on the mountain. On Satur-
day he was sadly depressed in spirits, and to day
he said that he felt bright and anxious to work.
This sudden change apparently for the better.
has caused earnest comment, and laymen are
jumping to the conclusion that General Grant
will recover The doctors, however, say that
this sharp revulsion from shadow to light, in
brief space of time, is one of those changes

when the patient came here, casual observer
would now note scarcely any enlargement. Dr.
Shrady arrived this afternoon, to relieve DR..
Douglas until the latter shall have obtained rest
During this week, special efforts will be made to
secure perfect quiet for General Grant, in order
to continue if possible the present favorable
condition. 1t must not be understood that the
cancerous fixture has become dislodged but
rather that it has relaxed, and is comparatively
quiescent. The present remarkable change in
General Grants condition. is pronounced by Dr.
Douglas as one of those strange phases OF tenn
porary Improvement that is characteristic of
cancerous disease and how long it may continue,
neither he, nor any one, can tell.
The day with General Grant was one of quiet,
without incident, other than related. He re-
tired for the night at 8 o'clock, Dr. Shrady
naming at the cottage, and all conditions indi-
eating restful night. The cottage was quiet

excitement is hourly increasing. The Cheyennes

bands of from twenty to fifty. Some Of these

tell how many are away The
bridge across the river between the fort and
agency, is being pushed rapidly. A band of
Cheyennes night before last stopped at the
ranch of the G. s. A. cattle company, having in
their possession a herd of stolen mules and
horses. They forced the ranchmen to
get them something to eat. Another
band was seen with lot Of stock. within twenty
miles of Camp Supply Stock stolen from the

The Army Pleased with the Promotions
Made by the President.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 13-Army officers arc all
very much satisfied with the treatment which
the army has received at the hands of President
Cleveland. There is no doubt that the President
has recognized that he knows little about the
army itself, and that in order that he may treat
everything with fairness it is necessary to con
suit those who are better posted in army mat
tiers than he is His promotions thus far have
been strictly in accordance with the best inter
ests of the military service, and he should re-
ceive all the credit that is due him for his efforts
to raise the army out of the rut into which it
has fallen, and it is to be hoped that he will con
tinue to make merit the criterion of pro
motion instead Of allowing the ball room hab-
itues and club loungers to dictate the line OF
promotion.
