EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In reply
to the article OF &c. A. r." in your issue
Of this morning, as member Of the w. L.
l. Corps, do not believe Capt. Wagner
can name any "prominent" or obscure
member OF the Washington Light Infantry
Corps who uttered any such slur upon the
Grand Army OF the Republic as that re-
ferred to In his article. The members Of
the w. l.. /. Corps have uniformly--so far
rs have observed-paid the highest respect
to the g. A. r., and as Il deserved. As q
body Of intelligent men the members Of
the infantry respect and honor the men
who fought on the side Of the government,
and have never failed to participate In the
parades and celebrations of the Il. A. II. in
this city and Baltimore when invited. The
Washington Light Infantry Corps aud the
Washington Light Infantry Veteran Asso-
citation arc two different organizations, as
&c. A. RI should know.
While &c. A, R.n is Justly indignant at
this uncalled-for slur he should be sure
that IL was a member OF the Infantry Bat
TALON before he utters slurs upon the In
fantIy as set Of gold laced, band-b
militiamen. Men have not changed SO
much IN twenty-five years as to have lost
all courage and patriotism; and possibly, II
the occasion were to arise, the present gem
Grafton of men would prove equally as
brave and patriotic In the defense Of their
country as did the volunteers who went
| forth to fight and die in lSGl-65.
BE n little reasonable, sc. A. r." in
dealing with such questions as this, and
not fall into the same error you so justly
condemn in "Prominent Member"

THE BLAIR BILL.
An Interesting Letter from Bishop
Ualsey, of the A. NJ. Il. Church.

An Interesting Letter from Bishop
UaIsey, of the A. NJ. T.. Church.
Bishop Halsey, of Georgia, one of the
four bishops of the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church, is a remarkable man, and
one Of the leading representatives OF his
race.
He will be remembered by the citizens OF
Washington as the presiding bishop at the
conference of colored clergymen held here
last winter. Perhaps no man is so well ac-
quainted with the condition and wants Of
the colored people throughout the whole
country as Bishop Halsey, and no man is
more anxious for the passage Of the Blair
educational bill than he. In letter OF the
9TH instant to Senator Blair, he says: ~
hope that the bill will pass the House, an
that 1t will be approved by the President.
There is nothing that this part Of the
country needs so much as better facilities
for the education of its children The col
orel public schools in most parts are very
slender things to he called public schools.
Those In the four large cities of the state
are the only ones worthy of the name. In
thesc-which are the best-there is only
about half Of the colored school population
enrolled, and the state does not own a
single school building in its broad domain
erected for colored pupils, except one small
house In Milledgeville, the old capital OF
the state.
"Allow me, sir, to congratulate you upon
the noble and heroic struggle being made
for great cause, now, l trust, nearing Its
| final triumph. For Gods sake and for
humanity's sake this great measure, one OF
the greatest of this century, ought to be
come n law ~

TwENTY.FouR DAYS have elapsed since the
friends and neighbors of Senator George to
the number of one hundred marched TO the
court house at Carrollton and deliberately
murdered more than a dozen men and
wounded many others, not few OF whom
have since died, and not an arrest has been
made, nor is there any thought Of taking
any action in the premises. In no other
civilized country on the globe could such a
massacre be perpetrated with impunty.

THE FoRsAkeN FARMHOUSE.

THE FORSAkeN FARMHOUSE.
Against the wooded mills it stands
Ghost of dead home, staring through
Its broken lights on wasted lands
Where old-time harvests grow.
Cnplowed, unsown, by scythe unshorn,
The poor forsaken farm fields lie,
Once rich and rife with golden corn
And pale green breadths of rye.
OF healthful herb and flower bereft;
The garden plot no housewife keeps;
Through weeds and tangie only left
The snake, its tenant, creeps
A Lilac spray, once blossom clad,
Sways bare before the empty rooms:
Beside the roofless porch sad :
Pathetic red rose blooms. .
His track, in mold and dust of drouth,
On floor and hearth the squirrel leaves,
And in the fireless chimneys mouth
His web the spider weaves
The leaning barn about to fall Z
Resounjs no more on husking ewes;
No cattle low in yard or stall,
No thresher beats his sheaves.
So sad, so dear, it seems almost
Some haunting presence makes its sign;
That down yon shadowy lane some ghost
Might drive his spectral kline.
