TRUTH COITI IN G TO LIGHT.
Several years since Bledsoe's South
ern Review published some statistics
that gave a telling account of the
splendid fighting qualities of the
"boys in gray," and that showed the
remarkable disparity in the forces
engaged. Of course every soldier
in the South, and all who read the
papers during the war, understood
perfectly that our troops had to
fight in almost every battle against
three times their numbers. At last
there is a prospect o the people in
the North finding out how little they
accomplished with the vast array of
soldiers and the inexhaustible re
sources at the command of the United
States Government.
Rev. Dr. Asa Mahan, a brother of
the late Prof. Mahan, of West Point, J
and the author of two or three theo-
logical works, has published a work
entitled "A Critical History of the
Late American War." We have not
seen
it, but it is reviewed, and not
favorably, in the April number of
the British Quarterly Review. Ac
cording to the reviewer, Dr. Mahan
has written a work for his own self-
glorification, and in a poor style. We
have read one of his books, and are
prepared to credit the statement.
But, be this as it may, Dr. Mahan is
telling the truth in regard to the
comparative numbers engaged in the
war. He "pitches into" McClellan,
Halleck, Meade, Grant, Sherman and
the rest, and he says the war ought
to have been ended in twelve months
at the farthest. If the strength of
the armies had been reversed, the
Peninsular of Virginia and the battle
of Williamsburgh would have seen
its close. We find an extract from
his book in Mr. E. J. Hale's New
York letter to the Raleigh Observer,
which is too true to be omitted:
"From the time when Gen. Grant as
sumed command," affirms Dr. Mahan, "up
to the close of the war, our armies unde
niably numbered upwards of 1,000,000 men
How numerous were the armies of the
Confederacy during this period? Accord
ing to official and reliable historical state
ments, these armies in the field, in all the
Confederate States, did not amount in all
to 206,000 men. Gen. Lee was never able
to confront Gen. Grant's immense forces
with an army over 70,000 strong; while all
the forces which the Confederate States
could furnish Gen. Johnston against Gen.
Sherman, amounted to less than 60,000
men. The Union army, during the entire
period under consideration, undeniably out
numbered that of the enemy as quite four
or five to one. Yet the war, under these
unheard of circumstances, dragged its slow
length along for upwards of one year, and
would, as our Commander-in-Chief ex
pected, have been protracted during the
year 1865, and even longer still, had not the
execution of the plan which he had defi
nitely laid down, and was putting into
execution, been, by influences outside of
the army, fundamentally changed."
Russia is said to have an admira
ble diplomatic service. Her foreign
ministers are singularly able and
well-informed men. In diplomatic
controversy she rarely comes out
second best. Her foreign ministers
thoroughly understand the policy of
their government, and devote them
selves with unwearying assiduity to
the realization of that policy. How
w
long will it be before "TTSinea men,
full of knowledge and Zealand judg-
ment, will represent our own conn-
try abroad?
A CH.INKK OF K . SI I.
When the war came on aud
Protestant Episcopal Church in
the
the
South was to be formed, there were
strong advocates for calling it "The
Reformed Catholic Church." A
movement is said to be on foot to
change the name at the next General
Convention. Five Bishops are said
to be in favor of the change, and
Bishop Young, of Florida, is oredited
with beginning the movement. At
the last Diocesan Convention in Flo
rida the following resolutions were
not voted upon because of expedien
cy, but received the moral support of
the body:
"Whereas, The name 'Protestant Epis
copal,' as applied to our branch of the
Church Catholic, is without meaning, has
never received the sanction of the General
Convention, and has been, a weighty factor
in bringing about the deplorable Congre
gationalism in the Church, which iobs the
Bishops of their authority, and is a serious
hindrance to its efficient working; 'there
fore, be it
"Resolved, That the deputies to the Gen
eral Convention from this diocese be re
quested to further and aid any movement
which may tend to the removal of this mis
nomer, and to the adoption of a name
which shall truly declare her catholic char
acter."
On Wednesday last the Diocesan
Convention of Pennsylvania met at
Philadelphia. Bishop Stevens is re
ported as having entered a vigorous
protest against the effort threatening
to change the title of the Church
from "Protestant Episcopal" to that
of the "American Branch of the
Church Catholic."
The massacres and vendettas that
occur now and then in the South do
us immense damage. Our people are
judged very unjustly by these hor
rible crimes, and the standard of our
civilization is estimated rather by the
crimes of a few than by the virtues
of the many. The fight in Missis
sippi in which an innocent 37oung
lady is killed is a great reproach, and
the whole matter should be tho
roughly investigated. Thus far, we
believe, no arrests have been made.
The Nashville (Tenn.) American, a
Democratic paper of large influence,
says: "If such occurrences as this
(the late DeKalb massacre) in Missis
sippi do not strike us with horror,
and admonish the people in the
South to crush out tbe lawless class
and annihilate them, if they will not
permit the law to have its course,
then we will show ourselves unfit for
self-government, and we will be the
first to demand the protection which
we cannot give ourselves."
We noted the other day the strong
hold Grant has upon the Northern
mind. It is remarkable. Grant has
done enough to make every Northern
man despise him, and yet he is their
idol even at this hour. It is by no
means improbable that the third
term project may come to the front
again in 1880, and it would not sur
prise us in the least if Grant were to
receive the nomination of the Re
publican party for the Presidency.
See the following "specimen bricks."
At the farewell banquet given to
Grant at Philadelphia such notice
able sentiments were uttered as the
following:
Whatever criticism he (Grant) mav now
receive, iun justice win ne uone to him in
three years. chandler.
If you (Qrant) want anything in the gift
of your country when you return, there are
thousands yes millions who would give
it to you for the asking. General Sherman.
I believe that when he (Grant) returns to
us again he will be asked to take the helm
again when the ship of state is seen to be
going to destruction. Mimon Cameron.
The collector of the Second in
ternal revenue district in Virginia,
Col. Brady, who has just been ap
pointed through the influence o
Mosby, and in opposition to Blaine
is a native Virginian. He is said to
be a good man. If the President wil
select reliable men for ofhee the
South will be satisfied. If Repub
uuaus au ine oeuer, so tnev are
capable and honest. The moral stam
ina of Democrats is not strengthened
by feeding on government pap in
Republican hands.
The government appears to be in
earnest in putting an end to illicit
distilling. The history of excessively
high taxes shows that it is a bid for
fraud. Such waB the effect in Great
Britain of the grinding excise law,
and such has been the effect of our
burdensome revenue law. Tobacco
now bears a tax out of all reason.
And yet the Northern papers, that
ought to know better, do not hesitate
to repeat again and again the state
ment that the South does not bear its
share of the burdens.

The Turks have begun their old
barbarities, b,ut, if possible, on a
larger scale. Bulgaria is again the
scene of their crimes, and their cru
elties send a thrill of horror through
the soul. If in reading the accouuts
we shudder, bow would we stand it
if iwe were witnesses of the awful
cruelties inflicted by those mon
sters in human form? The Baltimore
Sun says:
'''The scenes of rapine and desolation
perpetrated in tbe frontier towns along the
Danube are said to rival the darkest days
of the middle ages. Families have been
slaughtered at their own hearthstones, and
the younger women seized and outraged.
The shrieks of the victims at one of the
towns thus abused could be heard across
the river. It would seem that England
ought to have sufficient influence with her
Turkish dependent to prevent such out
rages upon humanity, especially as she has
been at pains to set herself up as a cham
pion of philanthropy against imagined
wrongs and injustices in this hemisphere."
The hot weather is the talk. In
Philadelphia the temperature has
ranged as high as 95, and in Balti
more last Friday and Saturday it was
92, whilst in Wilmington it was not
more than 80. Oti Monday the heat
was 14 degrees greater at Norfolk
than at Wilmington. Indeed the
temperature was lower here than at
any Southern seacoast town where
there is a Signal Office. The climate
of Wilmington all the year round is
the most equable we know of.

is the man who surrendered 170.000
armed men behind walls to less than
300,000 men without the walls, and 1
the best thing probably he can now do
for his great country is to surrender

sident's Southern Policy.
Granville Echo.
Both North and South there are
Democratic journals, we regret to
say, that are so blinded by prejudice
they are nnable to see a single good
trait in the character of a political
opponent. The masses want
the man, not party; and in that man
need principle and not politics.
President Hayes' course towards the
South, so far, has been pacific and
just, and they thank him for doing
his duty, because a "Solid South" ex
pected no favors from him or the
party he represents.
Danbury Reporter. 1
As a rule, we are more interested
in the acts of the President than in
his motives. Had the policy of the
administration been the reverse of
what it has, bloodshed and anarchy
would have resulted in States that
are now peaceful and prosperous.
Whatever the motives that may have
influenced Mr. Hayes, his policy to
wards the South has borne good
fruits, and we are of the opinion that
the President deserves and will re
ceive the thanks of those who have
been so long oppressed by the policy
of Grant and other reconstrnctionists.
Elizabeth City Economist. f
The administration of Hayes has
borne good fruits on the Southern
sunny side. He has removed the
troops; he has turned the cold shoul
der to the carpet-baggers; he has,' in
several instances, put Southern De
mocrats in office because they repre
sented the better elements of South
ern society; he has listened to the
counsel of leading Southern Demo
crats, because they were representa
tive native Southerners. What may
have been his motive for this we
know not, for it is not for us to
fathom the secret depths of the hu
man heart. But, whatever the mo
tive, we applaud the act. We are
for maintaining intact and compact
the Democratic organization, and
when Hayes, by any act or policy of
his, attacks or violates any of its
principles, we shall rally at once to
the Democratic battle-cry. But,
while we are a Democrat and love
Democracy, we are Southern boru
throws the gis of its protection
around our long trodden-down peo
ple, notwithstanding that regis was
bestowed by the hands of our bitter
and wicked foes. And we commend
him the more because these acts of
justice to the South have, been done
in defiance of tbe opinions and
threats of those bitter enemies of the
South who form tbe active part of
his political household.
