NEw YoEE, July SO.-The Sua's Mt. Nc
Gregor correspondent. says: Zone reason
why Mrs. Grant does not give to the public
the letter the General left for her is that it
mentions the names Of 9 number of men
now living, telling how the General had been
deceived BY those he supposed to be his
friends, and explaining how he was drawn
into the meshes of Ward. The letter would
make eight pages, closely written, OF large

was disposed Of by Judge jackson in the
United States Court to day. The great bar
rier to the successful operation Of the line

The First step.

The fierce struggle for the senatorship from
the great state of New York eliminated last
Monday evening in the nomination of Hon.
VIM. NJ Evarts in the Republican caucus by
a majority of 80 votes, and this nomination
has since been ratified by both branches of
the legislature The triumph which has been
won in Mr. Evarts's elevation to the highest
office in the gift Of the Empire state is not
able one. We do not mean triumph in any
partisan sense First of all it is a triumph Of
public sentiment over the machine. 1t is q
triumph of scholarly ability and tried expert
ence over mediocrity backed by the power of
money. In view of the political events of the
past twelve months it is especially gratifying
to be able to say that it is the triumph on his
individual merits of a man who stands before
the country as an exponent Of pure and
straight Republican principles. The things
for which Mr.. Evarts will stand as senator
from New York are identical with those
things for which Mr.. Edmunds stands as SEN
ator from Vermont. His election is the first
step, and an important one, toward restoring
the confidence of the people in the Republi-
can party-and, more important still from a
political standpoint toward giving Republi-
cans confidence in their own party. 1t is the
FIRST step Of the Republican party toward re-
gaining the ascendancy which it has thrown
away through the folly of the politicians

As this magazine has not hesitated to bring
to the notice of the country whatever social
and political evils were supposed to exist in
any part of il, and as it has especially given
attention to the condition of the freedmen in
the southern states we will not now be re-
garded as writing in partisan spirit when
we deprecate and denounce the narrow, sec
tional and embittered tone of comment which
still fingers in certain quarters of the North.
That this tone is less frequent than it was a
few years ago is a token of the mellowing of
feeling which takes place as the civil war,
with its animosities, moves farther and farth-
err back into history it is a sign, also, of the
improved condition and spirit of the South,
and of the new era of common interests and
mutual sympathy and respect
1t is something worthy of remark that at
the present moment, whenever the old note
of sectional hatred is struck, it has a larring
and unwelcome sound in the North itself.
The true lover of the whole country-undi.
vided and indivsible-is shocked and panied
when this note is sounded "a note that was
not sounded by Lincoln or by Grant even in
the thick of the fight. 1t is further noticea-
BILE that it is to 'the fury of the non combat
ant" that we generally owe this note of dis
cord while the men that did the fighting did
it with malice toward none, with charity for
all. Our men of war have proved indeed
the true friends of peace, and not its enemies
"Both read the same bible" said Lincoln
land pray to the same God let us judge
not that we be not judged" 1t was Grant
who stipulated thst not one sword should be
handed to the conquerors at Appomattox.
While the questions of slavery and seces-
sion are forever settled there are still to be
approached grave and delicate problems
growing out of changed social and political
relations. These require the most conscien-
tious, cool, wise, and brave consideration.
This is the time, not for the demagogue, not
for the reckless agitator, but for the philan-
thropist and statesman. In our day the poll
tician who wears the "bloody shirt will be
hurried with It.
