I was about to commence my ' well studied speech, when my corn- panion gave ;t little laugh as she 1 said: "Really, Ralph you arc very en- : "taming, in your own peculiar 1 ; but if you are as dumb in esencc of Miss Vernon as < vo been to night, [she is to 1 rather than envied.

I was reminded of my ' situation at that moment by the 1 drivers inquiring if ,lMr. Ralph would want him any more to-night;" 1 so I shook my head, and without '< vouchiug a word of explanation, T turned away from him and walked homeward.

DENT AND GRANT. Mississippi Politics?Letter nf .Tmlo-a Dent to General Grant?A Striking View of tlie Animus oi" Radicalism by a Republican. The following is an extract from tlio letter written by Judge Pent of Mississippi, in reply to one received from Frcsidet Grant in the early part of the present month. President Cirant, in a letter referred to, gave his reasons for casting tho weight of his j influence in favor of the Radical par; ty of Mississippi, and it is id that part Judge Pent replies thus: Is it reasonable to suppose that a people having the free choice of their .representatives would elect for their jrulors a class of politicians whor-c agigrefifive and hostile conduct hitherto has rendered them peculiar obnoxious and disagreeable ? This is'the charge made by the pcoplo of Mississippi against the Radicals, or " bitter-enders," as they aro callod, This charge is not made bccausc they fought against tho South and socession, for many of that class fought on tho 6ide of tho South. It is not mado because they aro of Northern birth and education, for many men of Northern birth and education and of tho Northern arm}' aro with us in antagonism to tlrts obnoxious party. It is not because they arc Republicans, for thoir antagonists wore among tho first in tho South to organizo on tho Republican platform arid to ^dvocato tho civil and political J equality of all men, wero sent as dolo f gates to Chicago, and for their consistpney and constancy Vero rowarded 1 by you with offices of trust and hon- \ or, But this charge is jnado, ?s I li^vc said before, bccauso tho proseriptivo < antecedents and aggrcssivo policy of these politicians towards tho peoplo of Mississippi have mado them tho abjeots of peculiar abhorronpe.
