SECRETARY LAMAR'S LETTERS.

The Same Old Claim of Southern SUPERIOR
ity and It's GroundIessness.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 4-Much discussion has
been INDUCED in of Secretary Lamar's recent
letter supporting civil service. The allegations
are controverted by nearly ali who are acouain-
ted with the facts The Secretary intimates if
he does not boldly assert. that the people from
the North who have heretofore obtained posi-
tons in the civil service of the government are in
efficient and incapable because there are so MANY
good openings for frst-class men in the North in
private life that only the refuse Northern men
seek places in thefederal ranks On the other hand
he says there are no such openings South and
therefore the very best class Of Southern men
will obtain positions here under 9he civilservics
law
Your correspondent has been making inquiry
about this matter since the appearance of Secre-
tary Lamars letter, and here are the facts: A
very large majority of the clerks in the depart
ments here, outside Of the old employees, ara
mer who in the Union army and who
found themselves when mustered out destitute
of employment and capital Under these
circumstances, it was the most natural thing in
the world for them to drift into some of the
departments Here they have remained, dis
charging their duty as efficiently as when they
were bearing arms That this is true is clearly
shown by the fact that they are retained in the
service, even by those who are bitterly opposed
to the party that first gave them place.
Then, as to the Southern men: Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the South has solidly opposed
the administrations in power from March 4, 1861,
to March a. 1885, good many Southern men
and Democrats at that-have obtained positions
in the various departments here from time to
time, and, although Secretary Lamar assumes
that they are superior to Northern men, the
universal testimony is that they are not equal to
Northern or Western men in the ability and
industry that 90 to make capable and efficient
clerks. They look, too, upon their positions as
mere snecures The idea of buckling down to
work like Niger" as some of them express
it, is abhorrent to them, and they will not do it
if they can possibly avoid it and retain their
positions.
Every chief Of a division having charge Of
these Southern gentlemen will ndorse this state
mont and certify it's absolute correctness in
every particular. Secretary Lamar is quite
away from the facts when he seeks to
eulogize the Southern young man at the expense
of the young man from the North, when the
basis is industry, as must be the case in depart
ment clerk

first the movement afforded bright array Of
arms. The flags waved. and the bayonets, or
the bright barrels of the guns flashed in the
sunlight. Skirmishers sprang to their places
with gladstone aacrity, and soon the whole front
was covered with them. and tho buglsrs sounded
the advance, all as if on parade. The confed-
crates in our front doubtless thinking of Grants
review Of troops, many Of taem stood
on their entertainments to behold the fine
display. The men seemed to fly over
the space intervening to Pilot Knob. OF course
resistance soon came. Skirmish against skir-
mish, and the batteries all along the line were at
last awakened and the air was full of missiles.
The enemy, however, was this time surprised,
and his outer works were taken. All This time,
while staff officers became excited and orderhes
could not keep quiet, Grant and Thomas stood
side by side without exchanging word Grant
quietly smoked his cigar and Thomas pressed
his field glass now and then against his forehead
to get clearer views. At last the Orchard Knob
is crowned and Rawlins steps to Grants side
and seems to plead with him. He thought that
the men should not return as usual after re-
connoitre, but hold what they had gained. ut will
have a bad effect to let them come back and try
it over again" When the desired moment had
come Grant said quietly, 'Intrench them aud
send up support 1t was so done In this brief
combat could observe the perfect elf-possession
and imperturbability of our leaders. Grants
equani1nity was not marred by danger or by the
contagious excitement of the battle.
In Washington. after the war when President
johnson Unexpectedly became lenient in his pol
icy toward the Southern white people, and Mr..
Stanton, his Secretary of War; clave to Congress,
there were for a time great fears of conspiracy
and revolution. One night. at the War Depart
ment, several officers were assembled, and the
air was flied with rumors of coming dangers.
The capital was said to be full of traitors parties
We're conspiring at the principal hotels, some
hostiles were approaching from Virginia, and
Baltimore was believed as dangerous as early in
1861. Espionage was rife, and everybody exhlb-
tied useless apprehension. General Grant
joined US in the Secretary's Office. A guard was
ordered for the War Department Speaking of
an officer commanding troops, some one said;
pery!'" General Grant turned to the speaker
and said severely: "Sr, you must trust him. If
you do not have confidence, soon you can trust
nobody. Trust him, sir and he will be true
This time the confidence was reposed in the
officer referred to- 1t was not betrayed.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
The Hen who Organized the First Movement
to Make Grant President.

New York World
1t can now be safely said that the first organ
lied meeting of members of the Republican party
to nominate General Grant for President was
held in this city. The meeting took place in
room II Of the Aston House, in the latter part Of
1866, Among those who were present we're
Thurlow Weed who presided; Gilbert J. Hun
ter, a we'll known resident Of the Ninth ward;
William A. Darling. James Kelly, then post
master, Abraham Wakeman, surveyor of the
port James W. Booth, State senator Of the
West Side district; Sheridan Shook and George
Starr. A Central Grant Club" was established,
with headquarters at Broadway and Twenty
third street-now the Blossom Club-and Grant
clubs were formed in nearly every ward IN the
city
On Nov. %. 1867 a circular was issued from
the Central Club and directed to prominent Re-
publcans in all parts Of the Union. in reference
to a concentrated effort of the loyal people in
favor of the nomination and election or General
Grant to the Presidency The persons addressed
were asked to form Grant clubs in every assem-
bly, district In every State. The circular, among
other things, said:
I'VE believe that public sentiment has already
indicated our noble General as the proper man
to lead the loyal citizens Of the Republic to sure
victory; but organization, effort and a proper
direction to the general public desire is none
the less important Let US press onward, then,
with this one object in view-to promote the
S. Grant avoid all other issues and commit
ourselves to no man as candidate for Vice presi-
dent"
Accompanying this circular was the following
pledge:
"We the undersigned hereby declare that we
are in favor of the nomination and election Of
Ulysses S. Grant TO the office Of President of the
United States, and that we will use our best
efforts to secure that result
The following are the names of the committee
appointed by the Central Grant Club to have
charge of the formation Of Grant clubs through.

His Successful Resistance.
General Legget, in Cleveland Leader.
''My opinion is that history will give to Gen
eral Grant for more credit as statesman than
partisan strife has heretofore been willing to
accord He occupied the presidency at the most
trying period, probably, of the whole history Of
the country, not even excepting the time Of
Lincoln's administration. The war, the finding
of petroleum, and the discrepancy between the
value Of gold and creenbacks had stimulated
the spirit of speculation to such an enormous
extent that it made people Wild to suddenly
become rich Presid eut johnson had left the
unreconstructed States in the South in a
wretched condition. by arousing the hopes of
the old slavehOiding oligarchy that they might
be enabled to become reconstructed in the gov
ernment without granting full personal and
political liberty the liberated slaves. To guard
official positions against the greed of wealth
seekers, to reinstate the confederate States
into the Union IN such manner as to secure
forever the abolition of slavery, and to restore
the financial credit of the Nation, were all prob
lens upon the right side of which Grant was
always found, battling with all his might and
energy, while often he failed to have his own
party strongly with him until he had secured its
co operation by his own energy and intelligence,
and the power of his great will. This was illus
trated at the time of the financial crisis follow
ing the failure of Jay Cooke and the col lapse Of
the Northern Pacific railroad enterprise. in 1873.
The House of Representatives and the Senate
passed bill by decided ajorites to largely in
crease the issue of greenbacks. Grant, imme-
diately on the passage OF the bill, determined to
veto it. The influence Of senators and repre-
sentatives and much outside power brought
to bear on him to press him to sign the bill. |
recollect that felt the demand so great, from
the newspapers and from the business men,
especially of the West, that | hoped he would
sign it. l was at his Office in the presidential
mansion at this time. There were present both
senators and representatives, urging that the
bill be signed. Grant answered them, saying
that he had won the battle of Donelson, captured
Vicksburg, marched into Richmond, and had
won victory at Appomatox, but that he had
better have lost them all than to sign that bill.
He said that neither his judgment nor his con
science would permit him to undo with his pen
what he had done with his sword; that the
saving of the country depended upon the return
of specie payment, and that such an increase in
the issue of greenbacks would so postpone the
day of resumption that it was doubtful whether
the credit Of the country. could survive it. He
vetoed it. Six years later there was probably
not statesman in the country but fully
convinced that Grants course in vetong the bill
had saved the country from financial ruin.

a dangerous thing to countenance extra legal
violence, for it often happens that the limo
cent suffer most severely in such outbreaks.
AS a rule, an abortive rebellion is one of the
highest crimes, and those guilty of it are
dealt with most severely. If Riel escapes it
will be through the luck of insincere politics.
The government cannot acquit him without
confessing itself primarily responsible for the
injustice of which Riel and his followers in
effectually complained.
