tiquity, gets little thanks for his
pains, and probably deserves none,
lor having destroyed the great
models held up for imitation by
those who aspire to imitate the traits of
■which, according to the poet, the lives
of great men all remind us. Of late
there has been an unusual tax upon the
sympathies of American women on ac
count of the trial and conviction of a
woman of the name of Kate Southern
in Georgia. The Dallas Commercial
states that a movement is on foot in
that place to secure signatures to a pe
tition to Gov. Colquitt asking her r<s
lease, and asks the ladies throughout
the state to circulate and sign their
petitions and forward them on at
once to the Commercial office, from
which they will be ^ent to the
governor of the state of Georgia
The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer of the
18th instant says a good deal calculated
to dispel the glamour of romance thrown
over this affair by imaginative newspa-
per correspondents. The Enquirer
prints the evidence in the c-ie, and re-
marks :
It d'ffers as much as ligbt and darkness
from the sensational accounts we have beea
readlnj in certain correspondence. There is
no hing In the scenes, the surroundings, nor
the Incidents to g'eam a tithe of romance.
The whole was a fl* h t between two women,
while the gallant Bob Sothern ani the rest
look>d on. They were all very ignorant peo-
ple. Kate f.nd ber sister both centered on
"8is"Cowart. There is no evidence that the
men present tried to pare the combatants, nor
doe* there appear to have been such a scene
as the sentimental writers picture of Bob,
with pistol in hand, forcing Kate's way
through a crowd All that was the imagi-
nation of a fancy sketcber. Kate Both-
eru is not pretty, even. She is of
medium height, about 20 years of age.
and baa dark brown hair, and the twang of
a North Georgia cracker. 8he Is very ignor-
ant, can hardly read end write, and Bob is
worse educated than she. Kate is passably
good looking, and wears imitation i«t. She
said the witnesses swore li»s against her; that
she acted in self defense; that she can not
dance, and that night at her father's was the
•• fust time she ever seed a reel run." She s
now on the plantation of Col->nel Smith in
Washington county, ard will be employed in
the household, cooking and washlog for r.he
convicts who work on the plantation. Her
16-year old sister, sentenced to two years as
an accessory to Kate's crime, has been in
Colonel Smith's house as a servant. She is
handsome, and has been taught to read and
wr'te by her kind mistress. On her father's
farm she worked and drove an ox to the
plow. Her sentence has proved a blessing.
Bob Bothern Id nothing but a strong, good-
lookltg animal—a common, ignorant boor.
JZe is now a guard to convict® on tha same
plantation. The woman Kate killed was on a
par with the rest. On reading this evidence
one feels utterly disgusted wltn the amount
of sentimental twaddle that has been expend-
ed on -he case. Not a scintilla can be ob-
tained to excite a single expression of ad-
mi-ation. Why, the parties surrendered
themselves to get the reva-d, and the under-
standing was that Kate's mother was to get
fifty dollars of the money. Where even a fer-
tile fancy could extract anything of a romance
frcas an atrocious crime we can not imagine.
We do not believe that there is a single wo-
man, no ma'ter bow warm and sympathetic
her heart may be. who, after reading the
swoi'U testimony, will sign a petition for Kate
Sothern s pardon. Gov. Co'quitt did right.
He weighed the evidence carefu^y, and dis-
played both justice and humanity in his de-
cision. A crime has been committed a wo-
man klUed another in her father's house, af-
ter she had been received kindly by her pa-
rents—and then to demand of t.he authorities
that she shall go free Is p.eposterous. If such
an act were pardoned, the doing so would be
a mockery o' law. Crime already has too
much license because the sta utes are not en-
forced.

putting him out lust at this time. In regard
to the S'lver bill the Gazette says:

The Nev Braunfels Zeitung contans free
columns in reference to the unpleasantness
between Pastor Sick°l and his congregation.
It seems Pastor Si jkel, the Lutheran clergy-
man in that flourishing town, was afflicted
w'th the unfortunate habit of thinking out
loud. Occasionally he would lndu'ge In flights
of absent-mindedness in the pulpit. He would
on such occasions mention by name those who
would probably put up at the Satan house,
and draw comparisons that were odious in
the extreme. At other times he would write
long pastoral letters to a church paper in Chi-
cago, contrasting the morality and culture of
Bodom with the immorality and general
cussedress " of New Braunfels. According
to Pastor Sickel, there are wretches in New
Braunfels who drink beer on Sunday, and
others are so far g - ne that they neglect to pay
up their pew rent. The list ef offenses of
omission and commission, which both pastor
and congregation bring against each other, is
too long for publication. The state of the
public mind can, however, be Imagined from
the following extract from the Zeitung:
After Pastor Siokel has gone po far as to
abuse everybody in town, not excepting the
women, it is not possible for the public indig
nation to be restrained. At the same time we
hope that no demonstration will be made to
make the scandal worse than it already is.
May hi remove from our midst, and the soon-
er the better.
The Sherman Register of June 25 thus ex-
presses Itself concerning the action taken by
Gr.yson county in reference to the two third3
rule:
The Register is glad to note that the De-
mocracy of i-trayson county, in the precinct
meetings held last Saturday, expressed them-
selves in opposition to the two-th rds rule in
nominating conventions,- Almost every pre-
cinct In the county instructed its del' gates to
favor the adoption of the majority rule, and
the county convention, to assemble Saturday,
will i-arry out the will of the precinct meet-
ings by >-imllar instructions to the state and
congressional conventions. Graison county
Democrats are as ardent and consistent party
men as are to be found in the state They are
as intelligent and as well posted on the history
of conventions of the party, and haviDg seen
the evils resulting from the enforcement of
the old rule, they declare it would be "more
honored in the breach than the observ-
ance "
The Denison News of June 25 thinks:
The idea that any great number of the gran-
gers would join the labor movement was pre-
posterous. Farmers have a great deal more
good sense than, the leaders of this piebald
faction give them credit for, and have the sa-
gacity to see that the only way to relieve the
burdens that are pressing them as well as
every ether industry into the dust, is through
the Democratic party. The farmers are con-
tent »ith the policy of the Democratic party,
and the accessions to the Labor party, alias
Greenback party, alias Radical party, come
from a very different class of persons.
The Denison Herald of June 25 has the fol-
lowing regarding " claims
We hear a great deal too much of this or
that man's claim for an office, fio man has a
claim on his countryman for an office. When
an office is to be fl led an eye should be had to
the peculiar fitness a man may have for the
position, and not what "claims" a man has
as a politician. No man should hold an office
who has not merited the respect and esteem
of his fellow-citizens, by trip purity of his life
and sincerity of his patirotism. It is the fill
ing offices by men who have "claims" on
iheir parties, that does much to encourage
the corruption in public offices from which
our country now suffers. The " claimants,
feeling that the offices they have received are
not as offering to their merit and capacity,
but a reward for questionable services, strive
to reap the greatest possible mercenary bene-
fit, and are actuated but little by their desire
to serve their country. A man may establish
a claim on his people for their reverence,
♦hoi> lo^e, and their praise, but such a man
utsfortha claim for an office; he
put forth no such claim, for the people
■ways ready to promote such without
xertions on his part.

The Gatesville (Coryell county) Sun of June
22, is of the opinion that;
This thing of abusing men because they fa-
vor railroads, has got to be a nuisance. What
Texas needs is mure railroad men and moie
railroads. If this county had a railway to-
day, it would double tbe value of every do]
lar's worth of property iu it. It would build
up a number of towns in our midsc, woula

The San Antonia Herald, of June 25, says
The ward politicians who have their eyes
fixed on city and county offices, do great in
justice to the intelligence of our respected
German fellow-citizens, when they fear to ex-
press an honest difference of opinion with Mr,
Schleicher, lest they oftand them. They have
too much good sense to get mad simply be-
cause on* differs with their distinguished
countryman on questions of public policy, and
a ust have a supreme contempt for those who,
by their action, accuse them of such narrow-
minded folly. Being men of strong convic
tions themselves, and open and above board
in the expression of their sentiments, this
toadi Ing on the part of those who fear to cla m
their souls as as their own, will affect them
otherwise than favorably.

The Waco (McLennan county) Examiner of
June 26. remarks:
It now appears that Mr. Epperson has only

explaining his zeal for Throckmorton as gov-
ernor.
The Austin Statesman of June 26, says:
The Examiner referring to the Statesman's
reply to Lang's assault upon the press of
Texas, says: "There are figures of speech
(the Statesman's) that resemble an It alien stii-
letto." "G.d," the Examiner continues,

against good men." We have been disposed
to doubt whether Lang occupied space enough
in the economy of God's providence to become
an object of special care. God may bave
shielded, in the olden time, certain " good

Branch Office Galveston News—
San Antonio, June 25 —It will be re-
membered, even by people who do not
expect to go to congress, that last Sat-
urday night ward meetings were held
in all the wards to elect delegates to
the congressional convention. Inci-
dentally it may be remembered that
owing to these ward meetings not being
held in Seguin, the result was un favor
able to Judge Ireland. In ward No. 1,
however, the Ireland party failed so
completely that they determined to
have the meeting over again, to see if
they couldn't do better. Dr. Graves,
our county physician, claims to
be chairman of the Democracy
in the precinct, and is also ' ccused ot
being Judge Ireland's most influential
friend in San Antonio. When the
hour arrived for the meeting to open
last Saturday night, Dr. Graves did
not call the meeting to order, whereup-
on the meeting called itself to orriet
and elected a chairman " who knew no'
Josheph," a man by the name of Ei
Braden, the same who charmed the fire-
men at Galveston with his el quence
When Dr. Graves found that, as a
pb&iim&B, be bad beea eat down on, be
refused to play any fiore with that
crowd of boys, but made everybody
miserable by promising to get up a lit-
tle tea party of his own on Monday
night. There were others engaged in
this excursion, but when the sun shines
the lesser lights are invisible, hence the
prominence given the chairman, Dr
Graves.
The promised meeting took place last
night, and Dr. Graves and his compad
res (compadre is the Castillian f or " Bob-
bysbieiy ") went forth like the wise vir-
gins, with their lamps in one hand and
a kerosene can in the other, to greet the
Seguin bridegroom, metaphorically
speaking
But in the first place, the locality of
the meeting was not a good one for
the Graves Democracy to meet in vast
numbers. The meeting was held in the
recorder's court room. Very many who
were bidden to come to the feast by
deputy sheriffs, (who displayed as much
anxiety as if they expected to go to Se-
guin to live after Ireland got back
from congress,) refused to come when
the locality was mentioned. They could
not divest themselves of certain
recollections connected with the room,
in' which the recorder himself had
acted as chairman, and levied and col
lected little assessments on those who
had been drunk and disorderly. This
will, in a measure, explain the small-
ness of the meeting, and it is but simple
justice to Judge Ireland that it be pub-
lished. A couple of dozen Mexicans
were arrested and brought in. Resolu-
tions were offered and delegates select-
ed. Your correspondent has a list of
the delegates, but for the sake of accu-
racy, and in order not to hurt their
feelings, an opportunity should first be
fiven them to announce through the
ocal press that the use of their names
was unauthorized. These delegates
are elected to the district and state con-
ventions, ignoring entirely the county
convention. One of these delegates
favored Hayes for president, and is
highly spoken of as a Radical.
ths graves of the heroes
Col. V. O King, superintendent of
insurance, statistics and history, is now
in San Antonio. He is at present en-
gaged in a work that will meet with the
hearty approval of all Texas, viz: the
identification of the graves of the he-
roes of the Alamo and of Ben Milam
Col. Ben Milam was killed in the Vera
mendi house during the storming of
San Antonio in 1835 He was shot in
the head with a rifle-ball while bn the
roof of the buildine, and was buried
in the courtyard not far from where
he fell. In 1848 his remainatWere dis-
interred and buried in a large lot ad-
joining the Catholic graveyard, on the
west side of the San Pedro. There
were quite a number of bodies
burled in the courtyard, but
there was no difficulty in identifying
the body, owing to the locality of the
wound, and by a black silk handker-
chief which he had on his neck when
shot, and which was used in tying up
the head after death. All trace of
Milam's grave has long since (itsAp-
peared; in fact, it is believed that the
road to Fredericksburg goes over it.
The grave was fortunately located in
the exact center of the lot, the point
being established by Col. T.verv, of
Kerr county. There is considerable
difficulty in finding the old lines, but
Col. King is positive that the remains
will be found, and then Col. King will,
at his own expense, place a neat but
substantial stone, appropriately in
scribed, over the remains.
Col. King will also attempt to save
what remains of the ashes of the heroes
of the Alamo. In 1837, a year after the
massacre, Capt. Juan Seguin had the
charred and mutilated relics gathered
together and placed in a large box, the
names of the victims being inscribed on
the inside of the lid. The box was in-
terred at a triangular piece of land a
few hundred yards from the Alamo.
Col. King is sanguine of discovering
this very box, which will be guarded
from further neglect and desecration.
It is high time this patriotic work
was attended to, as in a few years more
all efforts to recover these precious
relics of the martyrs of Texas would
necessarily be futile.
political notes.
The defeat of the Ireland party keeps
people from talking about anything
else. Judge Ireland's personal popu-
larity did much to counteract the pre-
judice against his friends here in San
Antonio. If he only had nobody here
to represent him he might have made a
good fight, for as far as the judge is
concerned, he is not unpopular. It was
his friends that caused the masses to
rally for Schleicher.
The following resolution is a part of
the official proceedings of the meeting
for the election of delegates at precinct
No. 17, Bexar county. It speaks for
itself and would be marred by com-
ment. Here it is:
Whereas time has shown that the old and
well-setiled doctrines established by the im-
mortal Jefferson, and confirmed by our glo-
rious Jackson, are good enough for us and, in
fact, for all time, and adhering to the old and
true adages, "When you get a good tblDg
keep it," '• Let well enough alone." and last,
but not least. " The office should seek the
man, and not the man the office;" and where-
as we have now a good and reliable governor
and one of the very best congressmen, there-
fore be it resolved that our delegates be in-
structed to vote for delegates to the Austin
State convention, wbose first choice shaU be
for Hubbaro for governor; and to the San An-
tonio convention, whose first choice shall be
for Schleloher tor representative to congress.

local summary.
Detective Shardein showed a great
deal of courage and skill in capturing
Leonard, the Fort Worth embezzler,
but as the money has all been squan-
dered it will very likely require still
more skill to capture the reward that
was offered, which was $5000.
In several instances Bexar county offi-
cers have captured, at the risk of their
lives, desperate criminals for whom
large rewards have been offered, and in
almost every instance the parties offer-
ing the rewards have generously come
forward, and with remarkable prompt-
ness refused to pay over a cent, for in-
stance the Horner brothers, who robbed
the Comanche bank. Deputy Sheriff
McCall and Constable Bader made the
arrest under most dangerous circum-
stances, but with the exception of an
order from court to come on to Co-
manche county at their own expense,
they have not been rewarded.

WATTERSON TS. HEWITT.
Summary of tha Case a* Presented
by 1 hemselves.
The controversy between Hon. Henry
Watterson and Hon. Abram S. Hewitt,
of which the telegraph afforded meager
and unsatisfactory reports, has attract-
ed a good deal of attention, more from
the character of the parties engaged in
it than from any merit that attaches to
the cause of misunderstanding, though
the charges made by Mr. Watterson are
sufficiently grave and are made with an
apparent intent to offend. The quarrel
has attained a poiat at which the Bug
gestion of the New York Sun—in
which the original interview with Mr.
Watterson was given—that the parties
be tied by the heels and hung over a
line and allowed to fi^ht it out, meets
numerous indorsers:

In his interview with a representa-
tive of the New York Sun, Mr. Wat-
terson said:
' There is hardly any room to doubt
that the president has a general and, to
all intents, a guilty knowledge of the
circumstances to which he owes his
place. That accounts for the refusal
of Stanley Matthews to go before the
Potter committee. The head and front
of Matthews's offending was his effort
to save his party friends from a scan-
dalous exposure, knowledge of which
had reached him. No one pretends
that he participated in the Louisiana
frauds. He was in New Orleans but a
few days. His subsequent operations
against Packard were open and above-
board. I happen to know that his Vete
to seat Kellogg in the senate was given
at the urgency of the president himself,
and, as I believe, against Matthews's
own better judgment, as well as against
his inclination. He thought Anderson,
in the first place, a meritorious poor
devil, amd he tried to help him. After
committing himself he discovered his
mistake, and he tried to get him and
the dangerous knowledge he possessed
out of ihe country. Meanwhile Ander-
son was trading on his information,
and when he had exhausted the pa-
tience of the administration, and such
patronage as he was able to obtain by
a double process of blackmailing, he
dropped on Matthews."
How came Mr. Hewitt to object to
your presence in the Democratic cau-
cus the other evening?
"I was sitting in ihe house talking
with Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, and did
not observe that a caucus was assem-
bling until the doors had been closed.
A caucus is enough of a bore when it is
your duty to attend to it, and, having
no amateur taste to gratify, I promptly
rose and was quitting the hall when
Gen. Hooker, of Mississippi, got up,
and, as I passed out, asked unanimous
consent for my remaining. Not in-
tending to remain, I did not stop to
hear the result of this veiy common
and trivial courtesy. I' afterwards
learned that Mr. Hewitt objected, and
that the rules were suspended and the
invitation given in spite of his dissent.
He is the only person whom I ever re-
fuEed to recognize without a private
grief or quairel, and he has that reason
for his exhibition of petty spite. He
perpetrated a most outrageous false-
hood during the winter of 1876-77, un-
der circumstances of particular empha-
sis, and I never spoke to him after
ward. I should not mention this but
that it was made the occasion of trans
ferring the meetings of the joint com-
mittee of advisement from his house to
another place, and is known to many
besides myself."
Would you object to naming some of
what you consider to be Mr. Hewitt's
blunders ?
"His whole transaction of the busi-
ness of the national committee, of which
chance had made him chairman, wa3 a
mess and bungle. His flighty and ri
diculous intrigues, or would be in-
trigues, with Grant, his silly row and
humiliating defeat with the postofflce
people, his iccessant blatherskiting and
egotism—why, he wanted to issue an
address early in December, resting our
case upon t he vote of Oregon, and a lew
of us had a time suppressing him. His
latest escapade was to charge the con
federates of the house with betraying
Tilden, when the objects of his rage
had done just precisely what he had
done himself, that is—voted for the
electoral bill and stood by the count."
Has not Mr. Hill, of Georgia, recently
cod firmed Mr. Hewitt's views by a state-
ment that there was a round robin of
forty-two confederates ?
" No, sir; he has not. I talked espe
cially with him on this subject while "
was in Washington, and he denies hav
iug said anything of the sort. What
he said was that the country owes the
settlement of the succession to the
fidelity of the Confederates, who, hav
ing voted the commission, carried out
its decision in good faith. An analysis
of the vote for the commission and for
the count will show that Mr. Tilden's
immediate friends stood by both the
one and the other. It is true that Mr.
Tilden was seriously opposed to the
electoral bill. But its support was
mainly derived from his nearest friends,
Mr. Kernan and Mr. Barnum in the
senate, Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Field in the
house. Coming south, the Confeder
ates who supported it. and afterward
stood by it, as Mr. Kernan and Mr.
Hewitt did, were such men as Tucker,
Hill, Gordon, Gibson and Lamar—two
of them entering upon six years terms
in the senate, and two prominently
named for members of the cabinet
should Mr. Tilden come in. The men
who voted against the commission, and
who filibustered to obstruct the count
(excepting Mr. Field, who joined in the
latter) were generally hostile to Mr.
Tilden. This is of itself sufficient an-
swer to Mr. Hewitt's gabble, very pro-
perly and promptly rebuked by Mr. Ellis.
But behind it there was a caucus rule,
pl«dging the party to stand by the
count- What motive, for example,
could Lamar pud Hill have to feei luke
warm? They had just been elected De-
mocratic senators. They had everything
to lose and nothing to gain by the in-
coming of Hayes. As early as the 13th
of December, Mr. Lamar joined Mr.
Randall, Mr. Ottendorfer and myself in
sending a telegram from New Orleans
to Mr. Tilden, of about this purport:
'You have carried Louisiana. The
state will be counted against us. Issue
an address to the country staging that
you are elected president, and will
maintain your title.' I think now the
country owes its peace and the Demo-
cratic party its united existence to the
abstinence and forbearance of Mr. Til-
den, who could only have headed a
popular emeute. But I did not think
so then, and it is false of Mr. Hewitt
to pretend at this late day that there
was any improper collusion between
southern Democrats and the Hayes set.
I am sure that Mr. Tilden himself is of
a more just and discriminating turn of
mind; but in this, as in other matters,
it is not the first time he has been mis
represented by that frisky person who
goes about with so much cry and so lit-
tle wool."
mb. hewitt's reply.
To the Editor of the Sun:
Sir: Leaving you to reconcile with
your sense of propriety the publication
of such statements, not supported by
any evidence, as you represent to have
been made by Henry Watterson in re-
gard to me personally, and my connec-
tion with the late presidential election,
it seems proper for me to say that ever
since I refused to listen to his insane
and ridiculous proposition to call out
" 100,000 men " in order to put Mr.
Tilden into the white-house, he has
never ceased to misrepresent my decla-
rations, purposes and actions with a
malignity which he scarcely seeks to
disguise. Hitherto I have been silent,
because his statements have been too
vague to require denial. Now, how-
ever, be begins to descend to particu-
lars. He has persistently accused me
of suppressing a telegram from Gov.
Tilden in regard to the electoral com-
mission, whereas the fact is that I
never received from G5v. Tilden a tele-
gram on that or any other subject after
the meeting of congress in 1876, and
Gov. Tilden has assured me that he
never sent any telegram to me, so that
Mr. Watterson can not even jastify his
assertion by tbe poor excuse tnat it
may hav« miscarried. I did, howeyer,
reteive some telegrams from Mr. 1
Cooper, which I had reason to believe
were approved by Mr. Tilden,
but no one of these waa
ever suppressed or conceal £
from any person who had a right to
know their contents. In the account of
the interview with him which yoo pub
lish he makes another statement, which
lerhaps it is well to contradict, because
t enables me not only to prove that
Mr. Watterson's assertions are false, but
to place my true position, so much mis-
understood and so malicious)y m'sinter-
preted, before the public. Watterson
says of me: " Why, he wanted to issue
an address early in December (1876)
resting our vote upon the return of
Oregon, and a few of us had a time in
suppressing him." That address will
now, for the first time, be given to the
public. So far from " resting our vote
on the return of Oregon," it does pre-
cisely the opposite, and rests the Demo-
cratic case upon the will of the people,
upon substantial justice, and not upon
technicalities of any kind. Mr. Wat-
terson has no excuse for misrepresent-
ing it, for he heard it read; but he had
nothing to do with suppressing it, be-
cause he was not a member of the Na-
tional committee, whose Executive com-
mittee decided— (against my will and
protest)—to issue merely a brief an-
nouncement claiming the election of
Tilden and Hendricks, without resting
the claim upon any grounds whatever.
This, in my judgment, was a blunder,
and at this distance we can now see the
wisdom of the address which I had pre-
pared. * * * * * *
The above facts plainly show that
Mr. Watterson relies more upon his
imagination than his memory in his at-
tacks upon me, and I think that I may
fairly invoke the maxim against him:
Fftlsus in uno, faltus in omnibus.
But he makes another statement
which is so asttfiBdiag that I repeat it
merely for the purpfse ^f demanding
the proof, which he ought to be able to
furnish, as he says that "it is £nown to
many others besides himself." He <3?9:
He perpetrated a most outrageous
falsehood during the winter of 1866-7,
under circumstances of particular em
phasis, and I never spoke to him after-
ward." He does not specify what the
falsehood was, and 1 can not even con-
jecture to what this charge refers. It
is certainly a most extraordinary cir-
cumstance, that out of the ten mem-
bers of the Advisory committee, Mr.
Watterson is the only one who
felt called upon to resent
it; but that, I suppose, must
be due to the superior refinement and
delicacy of his nature, which, neverthe
less, did not prevent him from making
attacks through his newspaper upon a
fellow member which should have been
made, if made at all, on the floor of the
house. I think that the Sun will, there-
fore, only do justice to itself by demand-
ing from Mr. Watterson a specifi jation
of the falsehood he alleges and the con-
firmatory proof from the other gentle-
men to whom he refers.
Lastly, he says of me: "His latest
escapade was to charge the confederates
in the house with betraying Tilden."
What I said is in the Congressional Re
cord and is as follows:
I had no part in the bargain, if any
was made. I knew nothing of any bar
gain or of its terms. Bat I was told,
on the day after the Vermont returns
had been presented to the joint conven-
tion, that these gentlemen from Louisi-
ana were satisfied, and that there was
no good reason why the count should
not proceed. I do not know how they
were satisfied. I had never seen any of
them upon the subject of any negotia-
tion, but I was told they were satisfied.
Upon that, so far as I had any influence,
I exerted it for the completion of the
count, as indeed I had exerted it from
the start.
This is no charge against the Con-
federates of " betrayiag Tilden." Mr.
Ellis, it is true, did make some offen-
sive remarks on the assumption that I
had made such a charge, but on being
corrected by all the gentlemen who
were present, as he was not when I
spoke, he promptly retracted his re-
marks in the following words, which I
also quote from the Record:
Mb Ellis—I will statV again, I was
formed prodigies of valor in this work
of subjugation. You expose yourself
when you refer to my incapacity to
keep a secret. A man who told, in
sacred confidence, his extraordinary in-
terview with Grant to fifty people with-
in an hour after it was had—Grant him-
self denying tbe truth of your re-
counsel
position of advantage to deliver lec-
tures upon discretion. You are right,
however, in surmising that I can not
keep a secret. I never bad one in my
life. A secret is like a wart upon one's
nose. Everybody has a better view of
it than the possessor. I sco'n a secret
I loathe a secr st, and, doubtless, had
you kindly admitted me to your caucus
the other evening I should have gone
away and told the reporters what they
knew much more accurately and fully
than I did myself. But a truce to badi-
nage, to criminations and recrimina-
tions between you and me. I don't
want to injure you; I don't want to
quarrel with you. Let us have done,
therefore, with innuendoes and epithets.
I have stated publicly that you were
guilty of a disgraceful falsehood; that
this falsehood was delivered with cir-
cumstances of solemnity to your col-
leagues; that it was the occasion of a
transfer of the meetings of our advi-
sory committee from your house
to another place, and that I
met you next dav and refused
to recognize you. You ask why no-
body else did the like. Alas! I was
ever a fool in such matters, and always
allowed my disgusts to get the better of
my judgment. A wiser man would
have gone along and said nothing about
it. Now that time has cured mv nausea
I would do you justice. I declare that
I do not desire or mean to insult you.
I declare that, this incident apart. I
have nothing against you. All of us
make mistakes. Simple errors of judg-
ment each can forgive. Now I repeat
and declare my charge of personal dis-
honor upon you, and as you don't wish
^ fight it out, and I am sure I don't, I
will make you this proposition: You
select twd members of the committee
of Advisement, of which both of us
were members; I will select two; the
four shall select a fifth, and if I do not
make my charge good I will make you
a public apology.
Henry Watterson.

informed, Mr. Chairman, when I came
in after this debate, that the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Hewitt) had
charged that this bargain lay at the
door of South Carolina and Louisiana,
and I used strong and pointed lan-
guage—language which I intended
should be strong and should be point-
ed,and should be emphatic,about which
there should be no mistake. Since I
have left the floor I have been informed
by friends and by Mr. Hewitt himself
that he did not use the language I was
informed he did use. In that view I
withdraw—cheerfully and cordially
withdraw—every syllable I uttered with
regard to him, or which was intended
to have been applied to him. [Con

The fact seems to be that Mr. Wat-
terson appears to have become utterly
reckless in his blind rage at having been
objected to as a fit auditor at a caucus
wbere secrecy was required. My ob-
jection was based upon experience. I
am not sure whether his closing remarks
are intended as an invitation to me or
to some one else to call upon him at his
hotel. I can only say that he has not
entitled himself to any such courtesy at
my hands, and, besides, the warmth of
the reception might be disagreeable to
a law-abiding citizen not accustomed to
the atmosphere of politeness in which
Mr. Watterson appears to move and
have his being. Abram S. Hewitt.

mr. watterson retorts.
an open letter to the hon. abram s. hewitt.
Some casual observationss of mine to
a reporter of the Bun seem to have given
you disquiet, and, as I would be gener-
ous as well as just, I address you di-
rectly, with the purpose of relieving
your mind. You are mistaken when
you say that I have charged you with
suppressing any telegram or telegrams
of Mr. Tilden. You know, and I know,
that Mr. Tilden disopproved the Elec-
toral bill. You know, and I know, that
you spent Sunday, the 14th of January,
iu New York, and that he made his ob-
jections sufficiently known to you. You
know, and I know, that on Monday
evening, the 15th of January, a meeting
of the committee of advisement consid-
ered the terms of the bill, hypotheti-
cal^ submitted to it; that at that meet-
ing I opposed them; that you were
dumb as an oyster as to Mr. Tilden's
opinions; that, finally, we all agreed to
support the measure, most of us believ-
ing it the emanation of our chief. I have
charged, and I do charge, that your
failure to deal frankly with us on that
occasion, your failure to tell us what
Mr. Tilden had said to you the day be-
fore, was the practical suppression of
his more sagacious counsels, and, to all
intents, the betrayal of your friend. As
to telegrams, I know nothing, could
know nothing, about them, and have
never said a word about them. I only
know, and you know, and all of us
know, that the Electoral bill was not
Mr. Tilden's offspring, and I have only
said what I now repeat, that you allow-
ed your bastard to be palmed off as his
legitimate without saying a word. As
to my charge that you wanted to rest
our case on the vote of Oregon, the ad-
dress which you publish itself furnishes
the proof. That address rests the case
upon either horn of a dilemma—Oregon
on the one hand, or Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina on the other hand.
It is obvious that I did not mis-
represent you. It is hardly worth
stating that the circumstances of
its suppression, which you say I
had nothing to do with, because I was
"not a member of the National Demo-
cratic Executive committee." To make
a long story short, after a wrangle in
New York, which is known to quite a
number of our friends, you turned up
in Washington with your document; it
was submitted to the committee of Ad-
visement, of which I was a member; on
my motion it was referred to a sub-
committee; this returned it to the com-
mittee of Advisement rejected. Mean-
while-vou reinforced yourself by your
ecutive committee, which

flow Near Lincoln came to Being
Impeachtd.
(From the Simon Cameron Interview in the
New York Times ]
It was shortly after I came back to
America, and while I was resting at my
home in Pennsylvania, that I received
from a number of most prominent gen-
tlemen an invitation to visit Washing-
ton, and attend a consultation which
wal -o be held in regard to national
affairs. I afterward discovered that the
invitation was extended to me because
it was believed that my somewhat un-
pleasant exit from the war department
had rendered me hostile to Mr. Lincoln
and his administration. Knowing noth-
ing of this at the time, however, I went
to the capitol and found assembled
there a number of most influential
gentlemen, who had come together os-
tensibly for the purpose of advis
ing together regarding the condi-
tion of the country. This, I say,
was their ostensible purpose for
calling the meetihg; but I soon found
that their real object was to find means
by which the president could be im-
peached and turned out of office. The
complaint against Mr. Lincoln was that
he lacked ability and energy, and that
he was not pushing the war with suffi-
cient vigor. These reasons, and the
plan of attack, if I may use the expres-
sion, were all made known to me, and
I was asked for advice. I gave it at
once, stating with as much earnestness
as I could command that the movement
proposed would be a disastrous one,
and strongly urging that it would be
little short of madness to interfere with
Mr. Lincoln's administration. Then I
left Washington and returned to my
home a firmer friend of the president
than I had ever been before. And as
you know, the senator said, in conclu-
sion, the impeachment scheme never
amounted to anything.
