TDE QUARREL IN TOE REPLBBUier Mtaek Ipon S. I. Chute, .. Secretary of the Treasury, by Gen. Trancis P. Blair, Repubticdn Member of . Congress from St. Louis. Hit Exposure of Cham' Ztiecrimination. Ajairut the Western Trade, GExTll L AIR'S REPL-IT To Representative Blow. Corinth, Miss., ct btr 10, 1SC3. To the Editor of the St. Louis luily Union : ' ' Mr. Blow thinks that I have capped the climax of audacity by the manner in ... t . I t 1. 1 r " T s 1 1 . .. - ..". -i" uruirriai v ui uie -ireiiMjrv. 1 uiu uncoilscions oi any unusual boldness or audacity in speaking my opinion of him. Mr. Mr. Blow seems to be insDired with a kind of awe as he approaches that august figure entlir-med upon greenbacks. M.n who possess as much patronage ;s Mr. Chase bel lorn find themselves without followers, ready to shower upon their heads as much eulogy as Mr. Blow ha. been able to scrape together. Mr. Chase has purchased a printing-press and made as many greenbacks as were authorized by Congress, and the soldiers and the people have received them because they have faith in the re establishment of the Union and the solvency of the Government, a faith founded upon the valor of our troops, the inexhaustible resources of our country, and the unconquerable energies of the American people, and not at all on Mr. Chase's printing-press j I know Mr. Chase tolerably well.' With very great ability, and all the good looks, polished manners and gentlemanly bearing that Mr. Blow claims for him, he is as thoroughly selfish and narrow as any public man in the country. He was a candidate for the Presidency before the last Chicago Convention. The Ohio delegation was divided between him and old Ben. Wade. Wade's friends supported Chase" until all hope of his being nominated vanished. It was then believed that if Chase would permit his friends from Ohio to vote for Wade, so as to give him the entire State, he could get votes enough to secure his nomination. It was refused on the ground that Wade was from Ohio, and that if he was nominated' his successor could not well be taken from the same State, and as Mr. Chase was from Okie, this would be an obstacle in his way. .This one act illustrates the character of the Secretary. . When the, rebellion broke out, Mr. Chase held this language: ' "The South w not worth fighting for." Several gen tlemen of high position in ' the country heard him utter this sentiment, substantially. He was at that time Secretary of the Treasury. Jeff Davis exclaimed, as he left the Senate, "All the South wants is to be let alone;" and Mr. Secretary Chase was, in effect, declaring, "The South is not worth fighting for." Jeff Davis said, "Let us alone ;" Chase said, "Let them alone." The difference between them, in fact, although their motives are wide apart, was the difference between tweedledum and tweedledee. One wanted a Southern and the other a Northern Confederacy, each believing hi. own chauces best in that sort of a divis ion. The scheme for annihilating the South' erntstates, and reducing them to territo ries, had its origin with Mr. Chase, and grew out of the same sentiment. He was determined that, if the North ivould not submit to have the territories of the Re public curtailed, the.. Mississippi River cut in two, and two hostile nations estab lished to make perpeturd war upon each other at any rate, the Southern States should be deprived of their electoral votes, which he w.as satisfied would not be cast for him. Hence this scheme for punishing the States for the treason com mitted by their inhabitants was devised This plan was gravely submitted to Con gress by a gentleman known to hold con fidential relations with Mr. Chase, and was drafted by Mr. Chase himself It was known that the plan was in opposi tion to the views of the President, but his Cabinet officer was found to retain his office while 1 concocting schemes to overthrow the policy of the. Administra tion under which h held his othce How are such transactions ordinarily re carded ? This is only in keeping with Mr. Chase's persistent effort to make use of the slavery question in such way as to make a division among the Unnion men of the country, iud create a distrust of the President among the extreme radi cal anti-slavery men, because he, for the verv safety of the Government nselt, was and is compelled to recoffnue and confide in all Union men alike, regardless ot St. ttheir opinions of slavery. To intrigue against the President under whom he held position, has been the constant employment of Secretary Chase. The Pres ident, unlike Mr. Chase, prefers that lie should intrigue against him personally rather than- erabarras the Government. This is my explanation. Is it a supposable case that such a man a the Secretary of the Treasury ? wonlds omit an opportunity of enlarging his; lect:oneeriair machinery bv the auooint-! j - .. a . - . .. iai ana ooarai ot trade on the paasu

f . Biuuuy ne coum mrow me oainm 01 su:n a step upon General Grant, and profit by ii the power arid patronage of such a meas ure over the business of the whole North west ? I knew that the instant' he wis for keeping up the blockade of the Mississippi River, he would cover himself behind the military authorities, and Mr. Blow's speech justifies my anticipations, whilst it clearly falsifies the Secretary's pretext. The letter of General Grant, quoted by Mr. Blow, does not justify a single step taken by Mr. Chase. On the contrary, air. L-nase s measures are at complete variance with and in defiance of the advice given by General Grant. General Grant is for free trade or no trade at all. Mr. Chase is for restricted trade trade that will be entirely in the hands of his agents, and will enable him toemnjoy a small armv ot his strikers, with "restrictions" which, as General Grant says, "if lived up ti, make trade unprofitable, and hence none but dishonest men would go into it." I quote General Grant's letter entire, with some passages italicised, to which I ask special attention : IlfcADQl' ARTER9 DKPARTMCNT OF THE TONE.SJCE. ) YicaBi-to, .Miss., July i!l. L-C3. ) "Hon. 3. Y. Chase, Secretary of theTreasury : "Sir : Your letter of the 4th instant A 1 P . . to me, inclosing copy oi letter ot same to Mr. Mellen, Special Agent of the Treasury, is just received. My Assistant Adjutant General, by whom I shall send this letter, is about starting to Washington, hence I shall be very short in my reply. "My .experience in West Tennessee has convincwd me that any tiade whatever with the rebellious States is weakening to us of at least thirty-three per cent, of our force. No matter what the restric tions thrown around trade, if any. whatever is allowed, it will be made the means of - supplying to the enemy what they want. Restrictions, if lived up to, make trade unprofitable, and hence none but dishonest men go into it. I will venture that no honest man has made money in West Tennessee in :he last year, whilst mauy fortunes have been made there during the time. "The people in the Mississippi valley are now nearly -subjugated. Keep trade out for a few months, and I doubt not hut that the work of subjugation will he complete that trade can be opened f reely with the States of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi that the people of these States will be more anxious for the prolec tion and enforcement of our laws than the people of the loyal: States. They have experienced the ioitune of being without them, and are now in a mwt happy .condition ,to appreciate their blessings. .-.' No theory of my own will ever stand in the way of my execution in . good faith, of any order I may receive from those in authority over me , but my position has given me au opportunity of seeing what would not re known by persons away from the scene of war ; and I venture, therefore, to suggest great caution iu opening trade with rebels. lam. sir, verv respectfully, your obedient servant. "U. S. GRANT, Major General." Mr. Blow quotes this letter furnished by the Secretary to whom it ia addressed. for the purpose of throwing the odium of his own policy on General Grant, and then Mr. Blow exclaims, "so says Gen. Grant and so says your Secretary of the Treasury." We shall see. General Grant says, "no matter what the restricti ns thrown around trade, if any whatever is allowed, it will be made the means of supplying the enemy." Secretary Chase therefore makes a lot of regula tions and throws restrictions around trade, although General Grant savs, "it will be made the means of supplying the. enemy." Is this doing what Gen. Grant asks V Grant says, "keep trade out for a tew months, and I doubt not but that the work of subjugation will be so com plete that trade can be opened freely, MM 1 .1 .11 . I.. I.. 1IU3 letter ueais iiaie -im jui v, 1SG3 (a few months have passed,) and it Oram s alvice uad teen taken bv Sec t.s- i at- .a 1 retary Chase, the merchants of St. Louis might have had FREE TRADE instead ot "restrictions, which, if lived up too, make trake unprofitable, and hence, none but dishonest men go into it" anew bundle of which "restrictions" Secretary Chase issued on the receipt of General Gram's letter. . You will observe that General Grant refers particularly to his "experiance in West Tennessee" among Chase's agents. He knows them well,7 aud so does every officer in the army. ' Since my ignorance of this subject has been made a matter of rebnke by Mr Blow, I trust that 1 may be permitted modestly to refer to the letter which I had the "presumption to write to the President," and point to the identity of sentiment between it and that of Gen. Giant. The only, difference is, that of 'a few months" of the time in which fre trade should be opened. The paragraph with which Mr. Blow introduces the letter of General Grant (above quoted) is worthy of being put on rceord at this point of the discussion. Hero it is ; ; "But, fellow-citizens, I do not intend to leave this persecution here. General Islair is under the command ot a W ar Democrat, and we love War Democrats. His superior officer is : that gnllant, a-. . . . .vrii i -L-i oxjf - ccciiiui anairuiaiu; urencrai, wno nas

made our arms illustrious by his wisdom and his valor, and wherever this night in this wide extended country a loyal heart is beating with pride for Western successes, the name of Ulysees S. Grant is embalmed in that heart. Hear what he

says and spread it tnrougn tne loyal States of the Union." Would any one believe that General Grant (that glorions War Democrat so deeply loved by Mr. Blow) has at thin moment in his possession a letter asking for his removal from the head of the army of the Tennessee, upon information furnished and vouches! for by Henry T. Blow, in which that "War Democrat" charged with grossest improprieties, which I will not name, bnt which, haying served under his command, I know to le false, although vouched for by Mr Blow. Mr. Blow, following in the wake of the Missouri Democrat, has something to say about sacrificing "the best interests of j the country for a few bales of cotton," meaning thereby what the Democrat hat said more bluntly, that the merchants ol St. Louis, who wish the Mississippi River opened to trade, are willing to sell the Government forcotton. Since when 1 -.1 r nas u oecome so ignominious lor merchants to engage in the cotton trade? One of the proprietors of the Missouri JJemocrat, a certain Thomas O'Reilly, who was also an agent of the Secretary of the Treasury, did connive at and procure the release of cotton seized in Helena by the Government, and did receive therefor 88,000 in money and promissorv-notes. (Full particulars of this transaction can be found in the testimony taken before General McDowell's commission to examine into the cottou frauds.) Was it this transaction of tha Democrat's iioprietor, and Mr. Blow's, fellow-radical, and Mr. Chase's Treasury agent, one which entitled them to sneak of the St. Louis merchants; who desire free and honest trade, as "Copperheads ?" My time is too seriously employed just now to allow more than tins hasty reply to Mr. Blow. Respectfully. FRANK P. BLAIR, jr. Christian Names. The simple christian name of Kings and Queen 8 -stands above all their titles, and for many years in Italy thechristian name was the usual address to all persons of all ranks, as it still continues to be in Russia, where the simple baptismal name with the patronymic is the most respectful address from the servand to the noble. The concealment of the christian name under titles aud surnames graully began to prevail in France under the Bourbon ty nasty, and by the reign of Louis XIV. had so prevailed that territorial delega tions were exclusively used bv all who could lay claim to crentlo birth or to s wealth, and from the earliest age children were called Monsieur de, or Mademoiselle de their father's previous titles or estates the juniors coining down to the sur-i name when all wre exhausted by elders, and the christian name seldom allowed to appear even in the thetenderest moments. It is ouly from their pedigree, not from the letters of the most affectionate of moth a ers, that we can learn that the son and daughter of Madame de Sevigne ever had( christian names at all, and it was only to the fact that she was the youngest of so rge a family that even Mademoi selle d'Adhemar was no distinction that Pauline" owed it that she was thus known. England never became quite so artificial, but it was propably to this French influence that it was owing that peers dropped the use of their christian names even in their signature, and that it became usual to speak of the married lalies of a family a "my daughter Bax ter, or "my sister Smith," while the graceful title of a knight's wife. Dame, with her christian name, was discarded for My Lady, aud the nnmaried woman's Mistress Anne or Mistress Lucy, became the unmeanm; Mi ss ana, aner ueingi

disuse. . The turn for simplicity that inaugura ted the French Revolution graduly reviv ed regard for the true personal name. w rather than the former title, and it assum ed its natuial place as a sign of familiar ity and enderment. lhe feminine seems to have been invented in the sixteenth century, probably in France, for Henriet Stuart appears in the house of Stuart d Anbigne in 1588, and there were some Henriettas to match the Henris at the court of Catherine de 'Medici. England received the name from the daughter of Henry IV., Henriette Marie, whom the Prayer Book called Queen Mary, through her godchilren a ere always Herietta, so Latinized by their pedigrees, through in real life they went by the Queen's French appellation, as well as English lips could frame it, so that Hawyot was formerly the nniveraal pronunciation of Harriet, and it i4 still used by a few old-fashion ed people. Rare as patronymic surnames are in France, this universal name has there produced Johannot. while the contraction is Jeannot. ans wering to the Spanish Juanito, and the patronymic Jnanez. Jan is very frequeut in Britanny, .where it cuts intojannik; in Wales, where Ap Jon has turned into the numerous Joneses, Jenkins, and more remotely, Jenkinon ; an 1, in the Highland, vwh-ve Jan's tons a m m sr-i a 1 1 - t .L.K..I rr I.

at Perth seems to have led to that city being known as bonny St. John's town, or Johnstones ; and thence the border family of Johnstones would deduce theii name, similar to, but not the same as, the English Johnson. In like manner, the village aionnd the

church of St. John sent forth the St. John family, whose name is disguised in pro nnnciation, and De St. Jean is a territorial title in France. Jack is the recognized Scottish abbreviation, and it would seem to have been the old English me by the example of the warning to Jockey ot Norfolk at Bo worth ; at any rate, it h. s named the whole c!aR of j.x'keys, and ha been adopted into the French for their benefit.

It is enough that while tens of thousands of soldiers were sent or kept withiu your state, or held inactive in camp elsewhere, to vote against you the confederate enemy were marching upon the capital of your country. You were beaten ; but a nobler battle for constitutional liberty and free popular government never was fought by any people. And your unconquerable firmness and courage, even in the midst of aimed military force, secured you those first of freemen's rights free spech and a free ballot. The conspiracy of the fifth of May fell before you. Be not discouraged; despair not of the Republic Maintain your rights ; stand firm to your position ; never yield up your principles or your organization. Listen not to any who would have you lower your taTilard in the hour of defeat. No mellow ing of your opinions upon any question,; even oT policy, will avail anything to conciliate yonr political Toes. They demand nothing less than an absolute surrender of your principles and youi organization. Moreover, it there be any hope for the Constitution or liberty, it is in the Democratic party alone 1 and your fellow citizens, in a little while longer, will see it. Time and events will fure it upon all, except those only who profit by the calamities of their country. I thank you, one and all, for your sympathies and your suffrages. Be assured that though still in exile for no offence but my political opinions and thr? free expression of them to yon in peaceable public assembly, you jvill find me ever steadfast in those opinions, and true to the Constitution and the state and country of my birth.

He played with evident zest, and 1 never saw & child of his age have more complete command of his limbs. He is a paiticular swift runner, and from the ease ot Lis movements, gave me the idea of regular discipline by dancing or gymnastics. Ho is a tar better looking boy than any one would suppose from bis portraits, which couvy the idea of heaviness in the upper part of the face, whereas the real characteristic of his look is open frankness and light heart educss. lie certainly appear a particularly happy child, lull of life, and eager for a game.

I saw no favor from the others because of his celebrated station ; all passed as may be constantly seen among the children of any educational e .tablishment. A chair was placed a little apart for the Prince, in case he might like to rest, and be repaired to it occasionally ; but so likewise did thj other boy f, and 1 several times saw two of them on it together. Once their chair tumbled over a the Prince laid hold of it. and he very unconcernedly seated him-elf on the back part an it rested on the ground, and afterward raied his body a ht'le in the air by strength of arm. the hands resting on the seat. There was, in fact, a visible superabundance of animal spirit, which tried various devices to throw itself off. The whole time I tood there 1 saw no interference whatever with the Prince all was the happy aud unrestrained amusement of bovhood. 3TThe plural style of speaking('we') among kings was begun by King John of England, A.
