THE LETTER.

This letter was printed in the Mont
gomcry (Ala.) Advertiser, and of
course had II very limited circulation.
The original document came into the
hands of General McNulta in his
search for data concerning the seige,
battle and surrender of Lexington, and
is now practically given TO the world
for the first time. Its authenticity was
doubted, but General Harris fully es-
tablished its identity and genuineness.

ford Smith was good. However, besides Mr.
Callaghan's "reminiscences. which prompt
ed a great deal of laughter, there is very
little IN the play.
In 1.-THE Color Sergeant" which fol
lowed at fifteen minutes of nine, the cast
had more opportunity to show their abil-

were both excellent. The scene in which
Atkins is in the barber chair waiting to
be shaved, is very funny. MISS Beverly
Sitgreaves took the part of Nellie, the
Color Sergeant's wife acceptably. But it
almost seemed last evening AS if all the
young ladies OF the cast in their various
parts, were a trife amateurish and their
acting lacked s~pontaneity.
The gem OF the evening was reserved
for the last, when Henry Arthur Jones

In this charming play ones feelings were
constantly at war. AT one moment one
felt like laughing with Mr.. Barrett as

AS for Perry's facial expression it Was

the only trouble one could expect could

chances, of which he avails himself, OF

the Democrats say, 30.G cents, it is advertised
for sale at retail ut ~ cents a yard, or less than
the duty, and Brussels carpet, dutiable at g.
cents, is offered at 46 cents a yard. The theory
of the Democratic free trader that the duby Is
added to the cost of the carpet, it will be OBJ

It is evident that it is not the consumer. and it is
just as patent that the foreign manufacturer
must do it.
That is to say, the foreign carpet
maker is SO anxious to get his goods
into the American market that he
buys the wool and other necessary
ingredients, employs men to weave
the material, pays the freight to the
United States, gives this Government
90 cents a yard for the privilege of
bringing them into this country and
then sells them for 46 cents. He thus
loses is cents a yard in duty alone,
not to enumerate the cost of material,
labor and freight. That is all thrown
in on top of the 16 cents loss on duty.

The appointment of Mr.. Kreitler as
Supervising Architect of the new in
sane asylum is an excellent one. MI.
Kreitler has done splendid service to
Jersey City, already, in the beau
tiful and substantial buildings
which he has erected. He has
done nearly all the really progressive
work in the city. The Hudson
County Bank and the Title Guaran-
tee Company's buildings are enduring
monuments of his artistic taste, and
practical sense.
Under Mr.. Kreitler's management,
not only will the Asylum be
we'll designed and well built,
the work will also be com
pleted without suspicion of
jobbery or corruption. He knows his
business and he cannot be deceived.
and he has an honorable reputation,
which prevents the slightest fear of
leniency towards persons looking for
unearned advantages.
If in the construction of the new
City Hall, Jersey City could secure
Mr.. Kreitler's services, it would be an
enormous gain. The appointment
would inspire confidence in the pub
lie. 1t would be a guarantee of hon
esty, skill and economy in the con-
struction of the building, audit would
offer as good a prospect as n can

GENERAL SEwELL's explanation
of how he got licked in Burlington, is
certainly calculated to excite the mer-

-as Joe" Noonan might say. He
forgot all about the Convention.
Now we have the secret of all the
Republican defeats of the last ten
years in this State. They were all
caused by General Sewell's bad MEM
DRY. He never could remember when
election day was coming, and so
he was always defeated before he

INSULTS i'm che Name of ReIigion.

Insults in the Name of Religion.
The Eoeming Journal devoted itself
again yesterday to insulting the adj
herenrs of various religious creeds
which are not it's own. First, the
Roman Catholics were the subject of
its insults; then, it took slap at the
Hebrews.
We are rather inclined to agree with
the Journal on the main point at issue
in its article on the marriage ques-
tion. We were always under the i'm
preston, too, that the Roman Catholic
Church held any form of marriage
valid between Christians, in coun-
tries where the DEGREES of the Council
of Trent had not be en- fully promul-
gated, and we are under the impress
sion that they have not been pro-
claimed in full effect in the United
States. Indeed the final decision of
the Roman Catholic Church authori-
ties in the Grant case completely up
holds the ecclesiastical validity of any
marriage between Christians valid
under the law of the land. So the
Church and the Journal are agreed
upon the main question. But
the topic under discussion was
of no consequence to the
Journal. 1t was merely an excuse for
the use of insulting and outrageous
language. We should be the last to
quarrel with the Journal forThaving
its W opinion. 1t is entitled to
differ from the Church as from any
other organization, and to discuss and
criticize its tenets and rulings. But
the Journal is not content to exercise
that right. Its aim is to infiict de-
liberate, wanton insults upon a large
class of people. and it turns every
occasion that arises into an oppor-
tunity for scurrility and ribaldry.
For such conduct as this there can
surely be nc sympathy or approval
among religious people of any de-
nomination.
A similar brutal spirit of unchris-
tian virulence is shown in the para
graph where Mr.. Julius G. Wittpenp
is spoken of as holding on to his prop
erty with "Jew-like d~oggedness."
This uncalled for outrage upon q
whole sect-a peacable, industrious
law-abiding section of the commun-
ity is offensive In the last degree
to right minded people. No
matter whether Mr.. Wittpenn is right
OF wrong in his resistance to the sale
of his property, the application of
that phrase in ii civilized newspaper
is a scandal and an outrage, not on
him, but on the people who are infer
entially insulted by it.
1t is time that this narrow provin-
cialism, this illiberality should disap-
pear from the American press. 1t is
as miscellaneous in its way and is of
just the same character as the at
tempts of some misguided peo-
pie to divide the American peo-
pie along racial and religious
lines. This is an un-American
tendency against which the Jour.
nal and its Editor constantly inveigh
and very properly. Is it not strange
to see them pursuing exactly the same
policy in another direction, and with
accompanying circumstances of ex-
aggerated brutality.
