Unfortunate Occurrence Letters were re.
ceived in this town, on Wednesday last, from
Valparaiso, stating the arrival there of the whale
ship Catharine, Capt Paddock, of this port, and
some particulars of a melancholy affair, in which
the Captain vas engaged.
We have not been able to obtain sight of the
letters, but the circumstances, as we understand
them, were as follows. After the arrival of the
Catharine, Capt. Paddock went on shore in a
deranged state of mind, and, entering a mer.
chants compiling room, killed both of his clerks.
He then went into the street, and attacked two
Spaniards, one Of whom he killed on the SPOT.
and wounded the other severely. He then
struck at eight or more persons, several of whom

Amos Kendall, Esq.
SRI have been inform
ed by your friend Gen. Mnllctt, Post
master at Providence, in this State, that
he saw and read in your Office letter
from Dutee J. Pearce addressed to your
self, in which he makes charges against
me injuriously affecting my character,
and impeaching the fidelity with which
have discharged the duties Of POstmas
ter at this town. When l charged Mr.
Pearce with having written such letter,
he denied that lie had written any letter
rhatcrer containing any thing against
me, or in favor Of Carr. l then sent
him an extract from his letter to you of
tho lta Of October instant, which ex.
tract was furnished me by Gen. Mallett,
from his recollection. Pcarce then ad-
mitted in writing, (what two days before
he had most solemnly denied, that hs
had addressed letter to you, but he a.
gain declared that it contained no char
ges whatever against me, nor any re-
quest to have me- removed, or to have
Carr appointed. You will render mo,

favor by furnishing me with copy ofso
much Of that letter, or any other from
Pcarce, or any other person, as contains
charges against my character and tho
Of my official conduct. I

fully acquainted with the character Of
Dutee j. Pearce, and am equally sure,

most grossly imposed upon you. l pledge
myself to furnish you with full and salts

as evidence equally satisfactory, that
Dutee j. Pearce has in this instance

letter from Mr. Pcarce, but il was never

although l mentioned il to him, I have
reason to believe that your removal was
produced by represent ations made d.
rectly TO the Department. Those repre-
sentaiions have not seen and do not
know their character.
Mr. Pcarco never before wrote me
letter, and never had ten minutes con-
vcrsaiion with him. The accidental
presence Of Gen. MaIlett, whose private
relation with Mr. Pcarcc did not know,
has brought a Lnoriedge Of that letter to
the public. II did you no harm with me,

years from the 4,h day Of March, A. D., 1888.
and against all the proceedings therein, in regard
to such election, as wholly illegal and void. We
Protest against the meeting Of said COMMITTEES, and
also said proceedings because a, the October Ses-
sion. 1882, OF the General Assembly continued
and held, by adjournment, at Providence, on the
I'd Monday Of January, A. D., 1888, a Senator Of
the United States, to wit-The Hon. Asher OBJ
bins was duly elected by the two Houses, in
Grand Committee, for six years, from said Fourth
day OF March, A. D., 1888, in conformity to the
law Of this State, and to the Constitution Of the
United States; because there is not at this time any
vacancy existing in the Office Of Senator, which
would authorise this General Assembly TO proceed
TO an election; and because an election Of Sena-
tor for said term, at this Session Of the General
Assembly. would be contrary 10 the existing law
Of the State. We furthermore declare that we
will not vote or act in this Grand Committee 9TH
c,wise than to Protest, as we do now Protest, n
ganst the meeting thereof, for the purpose afore-
Sid, and against all the proceedings therein, as
