Carr. SELLER AND THE NEw-YORK
ExrnEss.-At the very urgent solicita-
ton Of Capt. Seller, we give place in
our columns to the following letter to
the editors of the Ncw-York Express.
1t appears that Capt. S. feeling HIM
self greatly aggrievod by publication
in the Express some three months ago,
has since then been negotiating with
the editors in order TO ascertain eXPli-
city from them the author (or rather
the name Of the person from whom the
information was derived) Of that article,
but not succeeding in obtaining the in
formation he so earnestly desires, has
again thought proper to address them
on the subject, as will be seen below.
We should advise the editors Of the
Express to accommodate Capt. S. with
out further delay, with the name OF the
author or informcr referred to, a. he
seems to be resolved to vindicatc h'5
character and honor at all hazards.
| "NswpoRr, II. l. Sept. Z, 1893,
/ Messrs. Townsend & Brooks,
/ Editors of the Daily En-
Il press, New-York }
Sirs,
Il II was not my intention when
wrote to you on the 4th OF June last,
which letter was published in the New
port Herald, that you should, as you
have done by your paper ofthc 9th IN
stant, renovate the same story or facts
which three months before were pub
lished in so many newspapers through
out the Union without my Intervention,
but, on the contrary, that you should
/ give up the NAME of the person or per-
sons who gave to you such calumnl-
GUS libel, under the guise of an Official
Representative, OH my account, so that
could make proper suit in law u
\ ganst such malelactOrs.
II In answer to that letter, | have seen
a short paragraph in your paper Of the
| 10th of the same month, in which you
| said about the same as before, viz. that
| you took your statement from the Otii-
cial report which led to the end of TAX
ing in custody the French ship Alexan-
DIRE, without making any mention Of the
name which was so urgently demanded
of you, mean the person who gave or
furnished you that statement.-Nowin in
your paper of the 5th instant, you said
you were furnished with that statement
from Newport, again without naming
the persOn-yOur informant.
But now VIC have a true copy Of
letter before us from you, dated July
10th, 1898, to a gentleman at New
York, wherein you say "that all the
information we published came from
Vice-Consul at Newport, being part
of his official expose to the Consul-Gen-
eral here, a. he understood it,"
/ In truth, wo know of only one man
here, in Newport, that calls himself
Vicc-Consul, and that is the famous
report making Dentist, Gouraud, whom
| you have denominatcd in your paper
rs ga seller of washes"
II L ask you now, sir, aSain, 10 answer
this in your first number after receiving
it, and to say, ritkoM amy Disgusting, if
this Dentist and "scllcr Of washes, +"
Gouraud, alias Vicc-Consul, IS the per-
son who furnished you with that mise
rablc libel, which was so improperly
called an official statement, and like
wise to produce the proof you had for
this, and make it public in your paper.
If you again refuse or cvade this, which
| hope you will not, and do not un-
derstand for what reason you would do
| so, | am sorry to say, sir, ] shall be
obliged to proceed against you to the
extent of the law.
Il Quickly, your answer expected.
II Yours, SELLER.
