It is thought at "Washington that
neither Eustis nor Tinchback "will
get the vacant seat, but that as
soon as the Louisiana Legislature
adjourns Kellogg will supplant
them both with that dear Brother-in-law
Casey. The plan includes
the purchase of Tinchback with the
mission to Hay ti.
The Cincinnati Commercial,
which has come to be a sort of army
and navy journal, jogs Grant's
memory with the fact that if it
hadn't been for the present editor
of the New York Sun he would
have been removed from the com
mand of the Army of the Tennessee
in 1SG3. That would account for
the liberties Mr. Dana now and
then takes with his protege if it
were true. But the fact is Grant
had no friend then but Lincoln.
The majority of the committco
on military affairs has reported
against the reduction of the army.
No doubt they came to this con
clusion in view of the powers of the
President to plunge the country
into a war with Spain, Mexico or
any Dther Nation without the au
thority of Congress. Certainly the
present army is not a very for
midable one, but if its use were to
be confined, as for several years
past to the purposes of waiting up
on politicians and carrying South
ern elections, or setting up State
governments, the whole of it could
be dispensed with. In its leg;ti
mate place, there will le no objec
tion to th? army at its presen tsize.
Official returns for the past year
show that France contains about
21,000,000 acres of wood land, of
which thirteen and a half belong to
private individuals, five to the
Communes and public establish
ments, and two and a half to the
State. The average value of the
State forests is estimated at about
.15 an acre, which would hi 37o,
000,000 for the whole two and a
half million acres. In comparison
with other countries France is very
badly off for forests, as Germany
has nearly twice a3 much, and tne
Austro-IIungarian empire half as
much again. Sweden has about
45,000,000 acre3 of woodland.
Hcl&an as a Martyr.
There is but little in the compo
sition cf W. W. Ilolden of that stuff
of which martyrs are made. The
attempt mads by Blaine to elevate
such a man to the position of mar
tyr has recoiled with cruel force on
his own head. The Philadelphia
Times aptly says :
'Holden signed the North Caro
lina ordinance of secession, and
reveled in and profited by the rebel
camp as there was anything left
for profit. Then Ae crawled into
the carpet-bagger's camp, was
elected Governor by bayonets and
fraud, joined a gang who squan
dered twenty millions of bonds,
utterly bankrupted the State by
venality, and was clearly preven
guilty and justly deposed and pun
ished by disqualification for public
trust. Did Mr. Blaine forget that
this is a land of telegraphs, news
papers and schools V
Mr. Blaine did not forget that;
but like Garfield, he i3 'ignorant of
the history of his own country.'

Our "Washington Letter.
What the SoutU is Doiu? Mesa Hill
and Tucker.
Washington, D. C, )
Jan. 27th, 1870. $
Editor Southerner :
All who desire a return to conser
vative government, and who feel sat
isfied that the people of the South
have honestly returned to tho Union
with the desire and intention to re
main in it, as loyal upholders of tho
flag, regret the tone of the two gen
tleman named above in their lato
speeches. While thero is nothing
really objectionable in them, their
words are subject to misconstruction,
and the radicals of the North will not
fail to use them to great advantage in
the coming election. Facts as they
exist should be better understood' by
the southern people, and these mis
takes would bo avoided.
There are two elements among the
voters of the country without which
the republican party could hardly
maintain a national organization, de
prived of which it could have no hope
in the next presidential election
These are the soldiers of the North
and the negroes of the South,
thing which tends to ailenate
Any
tneso
classes from the party it is the politi
cal duty of the South to do, and it is
equally for her interest to abstain
from doing what will have the con
trary effect.
I venture to assertion that no class
of citizens in the North can more
readly be won over to the support of
the South in her struggle for her
rights in the Union than those who
were the soldiers in tho late war.
That they practically voto as a unit
on the republican side ia not because
of harsh feeling towards the southern
people, or bitter recollections cf the
war, or sentimental davotioa to the
negro ; or because they receive special
honors at the hands of republicans,
but because throughout the North
there is a widespread fear, kept alive
by designing men there, and injudi
cious ones in the South, that the war
is not over ; that the South waits only
for the occasion, and will then renew
its struggle of force. That such an
idea should have weight with the
million and-a-haif of voters who put
their lives in peril in the previous
struggle is not to be wondered at.
That such speeches as those of Rep
resentatives Hill and Tucker in the
late debates will have an unfortunate
effect on this class of men is not to be
doubted. Plain men who "have iust
laid down the musket are not accus-
tuuieu w inaae uisunctions nno as
those which exist between ' the doc
trines cf these gentlemen and the
arguments used to justify the act of
seocession. The object cf this letter
is not to discuss the doctrines them
selves but to state the effect of their
enunction at this time; and I know
that no dozen radicals in the North
ean do so much injury to tho South,
in consolidating the soldier elemant,
as one prominent, injudicious south
man. The negro question seemed to be
approaching a settlement when this
Con gress assembled State after State
had come under the controll of white
men. The prospect ef a united South
supporting a conservative national
ticket was certainly good, and, indeed,
republican politicians eeem to have'
feared it. Else why has Mr. Blaine
a man hoping to be nominatad and
elocted President, taken the only ap
parent moans of preventing 6uch a
result? lie has commenced to lay a
foundation- for fedetal military interfence
i n southern affairs, and those who re
member the history of the past 10
years should think well before doing
or saying any thing which may give
to this wily politician and his associ
ates the opportunity they are trying
to secure. Bemembering Louisiana,
Arkansas, and Mississippi, it becomes
all southern men. to hold secure what
they have, and to seek further success
in a way not to bring upou them
selves certain defeat and the miseries
that they have endured in tho past.
The northern democratic and inde
pondant papers are, as they Bhould
endeavoring to impress these facts
upon the southorn mind. Tho New
York Tribune is speaking out boldly,
aii lt3 warnings are being repeated
by many of tho western papers. Tho
West is as largely interested in a
change from, radical rules as the
South. Its material prosperity is
cr ushed by tariffs that rob its people
fu r tho benefit cf castwra manufac-tuic-H,
and their words on this sub
jo nt, spoken as thoy are for tho ben
efit of all, and in a spirit of candor,
should bo heeded.
But little legislation has been ac
complished ; in fact, not much could
be expected thus early. One thing is
sure; the expenditures will be largely
reduced, and no subsidies or jobs will
i be -permitted to pass tho house. The
Centennial Appropriation and the
Texas Pacific Bailroad Bill are not
looked upon as either jobs or subsidies.
Tho first is demanded to maVa tX&Ag
preparation to receive th farwftt na -tions
who will come to sea ttta pro -ress
we have made in our flfgt centu
ry of existence ; and the garatej
of tho interest on its bonds, which is
all that i3 asked by the Texts Poiuc,
and the payment of which is mply
secured is the only way to btwak down
an arrogant and odious moaopoly
that levies tribute upon th Industry
of tho whole country. Tha SftOth and
West are peculiarly interested 10 tnu
work, and should urgs it fofward.
All kinds of rumors arc afloat as to
the Cuban question. It is said that
the President has a message prepared
on the subject which will bs MJXt in
very soon, and that lie calls UpoA Con
gress to intervene and close th war.

TO THE PUBLIC
For the past six mental, Mr.
Josiah Turner of the Sentinel ha3
been pleased to allude to me ia his
paper in terms not very compli
mentary. To those who know both mjself
and Mr. Turner, explanation is un
necessary; but to those at a dis
tance I deem it necessary to make
some explanation, notwithstanding
my great dislike to- a newspaper
quarrel.
1 will low give my version of
tho story and leave the matter for
the public to judge :
Mr. Turner calls me stockholder
Blacknall, and alleges that I am
run in both the Hotel and News by
Iling men.
My connection with the News
amounts to simply this: When
Messrs. Stone & Uzzell sold out
their interest in the paper, they
were owing me for beard five hun
dred and twelve dollars and eighty
eight cents; this amount they pro
posed to pay by note, or I should
take five hundred dollars stock in
the paper. I accepted tfee latter,
thereby giving Mr. Turner so much
cause for complaint. Previous to
that time, (about July 1824,) I had
no connection direct er indirect
with the paper.
Mr. Turner says the riig, through
stockholder, Blacknall, set op Bob
Furman of the Asheville Citizen to
vilify and abuse him. About the
latter part of the year 1865, Mr.
llobt. M. Furman, a mere youth,
commenced the publication of a
small paper in Henderson; baving
but limited means he came to me
for help. I loaned him two hund-
red dollars, which he promptly
puiu. is. iew years mereaiter, fir.
Furman sold out his interest in
Henderson to go to Portsmouth,
Va., and start another enterprise.
This time I advanced him four hun
dred dollars, which he afterwards
paid.
After 1 moved to Raleigh Mr.
Furman was at his home in Louis
burg, out of employment, and fre
quently sought my advice as to
starting a paper in Raleigh or Char
lotte. Finding the Asheville Citi
zen for sale, he negotiated for its
purchase, and the third time called
on me for aid. Having faithfully
paid me all back dues, I felt no
hesitation whatever in helping him
again and I feel no hesitation in
saying Mr. Furman has mere con
tempt for anything like rings or
corruption than Mr. Turner pre
tends to have.
Mr. Turner has much to say
about my trying to buy him out
for the ring. A few years since a
party of gentlemen, six or seven in
number, sent for me to room No.
8 in the Hotel. When I walked in
one of them asked me, 'What will
buy the Sentinel V My replj was,
'I have no idea, and do not know
even if it is for sale.' Another add
ed, "Will you see Mr. Turner and
firid out, and let us know to-night ?"
I replied, "I will ; but would first
like to know what object you have
in view?" A gentleman who was
lying on tho bed, and had net spo
ken up to this time, arose and said,
1 t F . 1 fi.
"My object is to get the money
lurner borrowed to make the pur
chase."
This is all I know about buying
out Mr. Turner ; nor have I ever
known and ring or combination for
any purpose whatsoever.
Mr. Turner says, 'Stockholder
Bla eknall claims that I owe him
five hundred and seventy five doK
lars for board but I hare an ac
count against the stockholder, and
when we settle there may be noth
ing coming to him.' Mr. Turner
boarded himself and family with me
until his account ran np to near
eight hundred dollars. When we
settled, after deducting his account
in full, he gave his noto for five
hundred and sevcnty-fiTO dollars
which I now hold.
Some time after he left some
mention was made in tho Sentinel,
about my owing him. Mr Fuller,
my clerk, called at his office and
asked for a statement of account so
that he might settle. Mr. Turner
replied: 'I will get Mr. Dadly to
have it made out by tc-morrow.'
Mr. Fuller called again and again,
probably ten or twenty times, and
every time receiving the same reply
trom either JUr. lurner. his son.
tho manager, that he should have
the statement in a few hours, but
up to this time I have never had it.
Mr. Turner says 'How could
stockholder Blacknall if not run by
the King, set up newspapers, and
furn;sh the Yarboreugh House with
forty five thousand dollars worth of
new furniture, when he cannot or
will net pay Mrs. Happer for the
rent of her Hotel at Weldon V In
I860, I rented the Weldon iotel
of Mrs. Cornelia Happer and put
Capt. J. C. Howard there to
manage it. After two years had
elapsed, finding the business neith
er pleasant or profitable, I proposed
to her agent that 1 would ior the
unexpired term relinquish my
furniture in the house if he would
annul the contract with me. This
he consented to do, and if the party
taking my place has failed to pay
any part of the last year's rent,
why, it is no fault of mine. And
as to buying twenty-five thousand
dollars worth of furniture for the
Yarhrough IIouqe let me assure
Mr. Turner that I had no difficulty
in buying what furniture I needed,
having dealt for the pa9t twenty
years in most of the Northern cities
and promptly met every engage
ment I had at the time 1 made the
purchase; and have now unlimited
credit, and furthermore, outside of
my bankers I have never sought
nor had the aid direct or indirect of
any one towards helping me meet
my payments: notwithstanding, 1
have many kind friends who would
cheerfully aid me were I to ask it.
Mr. Turner says : 'His bills for
entertaining editors and railroad
men must be five thousand dollars
for five vears.' Now, really, this
is the unkindest cut of all. I com
menced the hotel business at Kitt
rell Springs in 18G0- and have
been in it off and on ever since,
and if 1 have met with success in
the business, most is due to the aid
received from my good friends
of the press, the pulpit and rail
road: and when in my power I have
gladly reciprocated their kindness
being determined they should
never accuse me of ingratitude, call
ed one of the meanest traits ia a
person's character. I will never
turn back on old frier-.ds. If Mr.
Turner will take the trouble to re
fer to the account rendered him by
Mr. Fuller he will find a deducation
of twenty-five per cent, allowed
him on account of beinn; an editor.
In conclusion, both Mr. Turner
and mvseif have lived in Ra'eish
lor the past five years, and have
dealt with dry goods men, butcher3,
bankers' grocers, hucksters, la
bores and they can tell who pay3
debts aiad who dodges them. Talk
is easy; but only have many tran
sactions with a inaa for a number
of years and you will see of what
material he is made.
I make the above statement not
apologetically, nor in deprecation;
but that the public may see upon
what absurd foundation Mr. Turner
has erected the fabric which has
been the staple of his j aper so long.
Ho may possibly, by repeating it
so often, believe it is true. None
who know me are so weak as to do
so, and for those who do not, the
above will furnish sufficient refu
tation. Very respectfully,
G. W. Blacknall.
