Ip October last, when we commenced tbe publication of the Daily Press as a subscription paper, some of our readers will remember that the two other dai lies published iu this City, protested against our receiving the telegraphic news except upon certain conditions. The subject being referred to Mr. Craig, at that time General Agent of tbe Asso ciated Press, that gentleman decided against us, and the two dailies required us to pay a bonus of SI,OOO, which we declined to do at that time. Having charged .the papers referred to with a determination to monopolize the news, which we conceived then, and still conceive they had no right to do, the Chronicle <£• Sentinel, in its issue of Oct 6th, replied as follows: “We should not have noticed this splenetic effort of the Daily Press to prejudice the public mind against tbe course which we have thought proper to adopt, but for the fact that we fear that our readers Tnay'be mTsTffi! by the state ments made by that paper, that we had really perfected or were attempt ing to perfect a monopoly of telegraphic news.” x If it was not an attempt at monopoly, then, what was it? If an exaction was enforced, which, in effect, might have caused the suspension of a cotemporary journal or prevented the commencement of anew one, was not an attempt at monopoly, then, again we ask, what was it ? The same journal then proceeded : “The Press Association, ot w hich we are a member, is a private corporation, or copartnership, formed for the mutual benefit of the copartners.” We showed, at the time, that our cotemporary was mistaken in its view of the nature of the association —that it was, in fact, a Northern association, of which Mr. Craig was the General Su perintendent, and that the Chronicle and Sentinel was a customer, and not a member of the Association. We see no reason to change our views, as given then, and, therefore, still con tend that we have taken the correct po sition. But the Chronicle and Sentitiel continues : We were willing that the Daily Press should become a member in the Associ ation upon complying with fair and equitable terms ; now we shall oppose its membership upon any terms.” In tbe first place, is the requirement of a bonus of SI,OOO at our bands ‘fair and equitable," when the Chronicle and Sentinel, once placed in the same po sition as we subsequently were, got in for nothing ? Suppose Mr. Craig had decided against the Chronicle and Sen tinel, would not that journal have gone “puling and whimpering before the pub lic?” Fortunately for it, howerer, the decision at that time was the reverse of what it was in our case ; and our neigh bor found no difficulty in joining in a similar requirement of us. With this requirement, however, it adds in its issue of Oct, 6tb, 1866, that it would, thereafter, oppose our admis sion to the benefits of the Associated Press “on any terms.” This was iu October, 1866. In January, 1867 only three months afterwards—“what a change has come o’er the spirit of our dreams 1° The old “terms” are re newed ; we are admitted, and the Chronicle and Sentinel enters no oppo sition that we have heard of; but coolly pockeU oar ssoo—its share of tbe SI,OOO bonns—and still continues to draw its telegraphic inspiration from the same source that we do. What is the cause of this change ? Was it the “green above, the red,” in the shape of Uncle Samuel’s greenbacks that caused it? Didn’t our cotemporary state that if wo were admitted to the As sociation it would withdraw? That was in October last. Why does not our neighbor keep to its faith aud withdraw ? It lias not opposed our adnussiou. It has not withdrawn. Surely it ought to be consistent and stick to its text. If not, what reason can be given for the change? We know of none except the glitter of the bonus money, which, perhaps, dazzled the eyes of the recipient and blinded it to promises given in the past.

Address Fow ler & Wells, 380 Broadway, N. Y. Letter* from an Ex-Rebel, to Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev- Henry Ward Beecher fxvMaaa ua f Sits . I haee purposely abstained fsom' .liscu*.dog the rights under tbe Consti tution (which you and I both recognise tut the supreme law) of the. excluded States to perfect equality iu the Uuion ; and I have nbo abstained from any at tempt to prove that all the proposed legislation by the majority of the mem bers of Congress from the represented States, is an usurpation of power, not only not warranted by the Constitution, but in manifest violation of its positive provisions. I know that it is the fashion now to treat all reasoning of this nature as “legal abstractions” and to take for granted that the representatives of the conquerors have an absolute right to deal with the conquered as they think proper, without any reference to the rights, privileges, and immunities which the latter possessed and exercised prio r to the war. In order to get on ground from which you will agree to listen to what I have to say, I will confine myself to the evi dence for the defense and the tacts of the case, and leave the law to others. The second assertion which I under took to prove was that the people of the “rebel States,” in giving their voluntary consent to the abolition of slavery, reco gnized the necessity and the duty to pro tect and defend the emancipated negroes in all the rights of person and property which freedom gave them : to deal with them liberally as well as justly, and to use all proper means to promote their social and material prosperity. In the first place, the legislatures of all the excluded States have passed laws by which all distinction of race or color, in the eye of the law, has been abolished, and the black man can to-day sue and testify in any court, just as a white man can ; he can hold, inherit, and transmit property just as I can ; be has the same right to punish me for any injury I may do to his life, liberty, or reputation, as I have to punish him for the like offense. Our rights before tbe courts are pre cisely similar. Every vestige, of the legislation which governed the Condi tion of slavery has been done away by the voluntary act and with the unani mous approval of the people. I say voluntary act, because I desire to ex clude the idea that the people either agreed to the Constitutional Amend ment, abolishing slavery, or repealed the laws relating to slaves, by compul. sion, by force, or under the influence of fear. It is true that by the resuit of the war slavery was practically destroyed ; but its legal existence could not have been done away without the adoption of the Amendment to the Constitution, and the excluded States adopted that Amend ment not to win favor or purchase peace, but because they had “accepted the situation,” and desired to conform to it in spirit as well as in letter. They felt that when the guardianship and protection of the master were re moved it was their duty to give the freedmen the power to take care of and protect themselves, by opening wide to them the courts of justice, and surrounding them with all the safe guards which the law has erected for the benefit of the white man. I will not encumber this letter by quoting ■from these laws; you have doubtless seen them and remember their pro visions. It has been my fortune to be present in several courts of justice during the past year, and to witness the trial of a number of cases, civil ns well as crim inal, in which negroes have been parties, and in which they have been made wit nesses. On nil these occasious, and they have not been confined to a single lo cality or community, I have observed the manifest desire of the Court, the juries and the bar, to deal liberally, as well ns justly, by the freedmen; to make allowance for their deficiency of intel lect, knowledge, and morul training, and to make them feel perfect confi dence that the law would protect their rights and be benevolent to their trans gressions. In every utterance of the Judges from the Bench, and from the lawyers at the Bar, I have found the same disposition, and I have never heard a single word of disapproval of this feeling, nor have I beard anybody deny that humanity, civilization and social security demanded that the freedraen’s rights should be scrupulously guarded, and his tailings leniently judged. Ido not know a case in which a jury has rendered what I thought was an unjust verdict where a negro was a party, and I have frequently known judges inflict light punishment on negroes for offences for which while men have been made to suffer the severest penalties. I do not say that any community, nor the thousanth part of any community, believes that the sudden emancipa tion of the slaves was either just, hu mane, or judicious; but they have all accepted the situation and have resolved to make the best of things as they are. The negroes are here, and they are free. They are a large portion of the popula tion, and may be made a very useful portion ; aud it is not difficult to believe that we should desire to do all we can to improve the condition and promote the welfare of a race which has grown up in our families, which has ever been faithful and attached servants, and be tween which and ourselves no antago nism exists, thus far. We ore poor and have not the means to do all we woiild for their instruction and elevation. But what we enn do we do cheerfully. we peneb and sta bility, we could and would do much more. But you nay that until we give the negroes the right to vote, we are guilty of injustice towards them, aud that the it essential to their and their improvement. Our indispo sition to concede this political privilege to Hie freed men is *rged as an evidence of our disaffection to the United States, and is made the jastification for the measures of repression and oppression which it is proposed to adopt for our government. 1 propose in my next to present for your consideration a few remarks on this subject, on which il is of vital importance to ns, that the misapprehen sions which now obscure it. among your people should be cleared away. We do not withhold tbe suffrage from the ne groes for the purpose ol oppressing them, or because we are opposed to their elevation iu the social scale, but because we believe that in their present condition of ignorance-and mental weakness, to confide to them the highest political trust would be disastrous to us and ta them. We know the negroes much better than your people know them. We see and hear them every day and can judge ot their capacity and intelligence mnch more accurately than those whose knowl edge of the race consists in having listened to Fred Douglas lecture, or having eaten oysters at Downing’s. You believe, or think, that they are fit to be entrusted with political power. We know that they are not. Xylos. Scecial Notices.

In this branch of our business we promise NOTHING NEW.
