Walter Barttelot, brother of the late
Major Bartclot, writes to the Tioe@
IAN that Stanley said about me Is un-
true. II is also untrue that my brother
wrote me 10 prevent rrmp diYulglng any
me not to publish my brothers diaries
Bonny told me some, not all, of the tales
but he at the same time told stories to the
discredit of nearly every officer Of the ex-
pedition, including Stanley, The latter's
book and all subsequent accusations are
full of irreconcilnble contradictions and
Inconsistencies, largely made up of scour-
ings of camp gossip"
Mr.. Barttelot concludes as follows;
STANLEY has done this to cover his own
cihpability,n lie ineloses letter from
Lieutenant Baclt testifying to MAJOR Bart
telot's indomitablc energy and courage.
Lieutenant Baert says that he was on the
spot but never heard Of the accusations
Stanley has made.

RIfERRlNG TO THE DEFEAT of Senator

The war is over in South Carolina.
Wade Hampton has been discharged from
the service of the State to make room for
sinan who was too Young to he II rebel
Fake the old gray coat out of the closet
and look at ii for the last time before ID
is thrown into the rag-hag-it represented
something and meant something twenty
years ago. Throw the battered old can
teen into the ash barrcl-it meant some
thing twenty Years ago. Unfold the tat
rered old battlc-ilag, under whose once
glorious folds you, pcrchance, followed
Hampton into the very jaws Of death
look at it for the last lime and let the
hames consume II. All these things are
hut dust and ashes. The agony is over.

IL is just such windy rant nv this that
prompts innocent people north of the Po-
tomac and Ohio rivers to believe that the
South still laments tho Confederacy, and
iustifes them in believing it, The able
editor no doubt meant nothing more than
burst cf sophomore gush. His idea was
simply to spill over the wounds of IIiHr-
ToN'r defeat little Of the mutton suet of
his ch,uoncc. But this kind of stun gets
passed around, aud thousands who do not
understand the situation drink II in aud
swallow il seriously The editorof the Necs
o,,d tog,ier knows, IL he has even speak
ing acquaintance with public sentiment,
that intelligent people at the South do MOI
lament The Confcderacy and would not
have it back If they could. lie knows,
nnless he is singularly blind to what is
going on about him, that If the question
of restoring the Confederacy were sub
nlitted to the whites Of means and educa-
ton at the South, it would be repudiated
by a practically unanimous vote. Know
ing all this, then, for il is notorious as the
MONDAY sun, why does heprint such mis-
chieyous slush as that which we have
auotcd above? II does no good at home
where everybody takes it in Pickwickian
sense, and it misreprosents the Southern
people abroad where il is supposed to
mean something.

revision Of the e. NJ. u. 4. constitution
was concluded Saturday by the committee
on laws of the Supreme Council. The
amendments to the constitution made at

made was the abolishment of the clause
toforc when u council numbered 1000
members it was allowed to maintain a scpa-
rate beneficiary fund at the expense of re-
naming members of the order. Canadian

I NEW YoRK, Dec. 15.-Among the pas
sengcrs on the Trave, which arrived here
yesterday from Bremen, were Herr A.
iSachz ministerial director of the German
postal service at Berlin, and his secretary
and assistant, Herr ii. Petzold. Their OBJ
ject in coming TO the United States is to
lariangc, if possible, for the appointment
of postal inspectors, who should also rep
resent the custom-house on board German
mail steamer coming to ports in this coun-
itry.
The duty Of these inspectors would be
to inspect and assert all mails on board
the vessels while they are ca route from
German to American ports. 1t is claimed
that this system would insure the delivery
of foreign mails at least twelve hours
sooner than under the present system.
The German p0stoiilce officials will, it is
said, willingly place officials for the same
purpose on mail steamers sailing from
American ports to Germany. The director
and his secretary left for Washington yes
