of Glentworth's illegal operations, and who merely
stood forward in 1910 to hurl back from the Wing
camp on the eve of our endangered victory the
grenade which had been most unfairly and treach-
erously cast into it, into the faces Of Its thus dis
comfted contrivers. For the promptitude and
efficacy of this act Loco-Focosm can never for
give him but it exhibits its deadly malice mos,
impotentiy by bowling about the door of his dwell
ing under cover of darkness
But having thus descended from and transformed
what was an honorable and manly struggle on
principles and measures into a foul warfare upon
| individuals, the Loco-F ocoismof our day and City
goes on improving onts own pattern. Its latest
resort Is TO herd with felons in our public prisons,
and there worm out Of their knnvery or their need
some private letters or other material which may
be used to its own profit, or atleast to the annoy
ance Of Wings We exposed, some time since,
! an interchange of soul to this end, between Mr.
Editor Slamm md the forger c. F. Mitchell, in
his cell in the Tombs. But it seems that we did
not imagine half the vany of the affair; for the
letters which the cx-Congressman was bargaining
to sewere not merely those which he had received
from intimate friends inthe dayof hisunsulliedfame
but those which had been merely enclosed to him
addressed to other persons, and whichheh had, with
the ready instinct of vlany, retained and appro-
priated to his own purposes These letters, tap

him as an intimate personal and political friend
many of them by Mr.. R. G.. Wetmore of this CITY,
Are the purchasers of this avowedly stolen pro-
perry any better than the 'seler?) Among the let
tiers thus written by Mr.. Wetmore, we understand
that there were some speaking very freely of poll
teal friends who were personal opponents on a
question Of official preferment-of ahe conductors
of certain Wing Journals, &c.
These unguardcd, perhaps incorporate, re-
marks on the character and conduct of political
friends in a moment of excitement, Mr.. Wetmore
did not choose to have published, and he accord
ingly procured from the Court of Chancery-most
unwisely, az we think-a process restraining the
purchasers from making such use of their ill-got-
ten booty For this he is not merely assailcd in
the journals which will publish his Letters as
soon as they have excited sufficient curiosity about
them, but the Eccmtng Post descends to use the
stolen property, and to convey the false impress
sion that these letters have something to do with
the pipe-laying business on which its own pro-
6table PAMPHLETS based-or at any rate, to make
some great mystery about them, as though a man
must choose to have all his private letters pub
lished unless they cover some great reguery -
What will become Of social intercourse and conf
dence between man and man if this sort of Politi-
cal warfare is not secuted and publicly condemned
byall men of fairness and honor?
THE MITCHELL CONSPIRACY
To the Editors Of The Tribune
GENTLEMEN Perhaps may not be improper that should
say a.werd two as the use which few newspapers
making of my in connection with certain letters
alleged to be In the possession of the propreors or editors
of one or more ri. ihesa frnts-i
While C. F. Mitchell possessed the confidence OF Con.
gressonal District in this State Twas acquainted and
you pleaseo terms of intimacy with him. With that in
dvidua acquaintance ceased the precise period when
the intimacy between him and the editors conductors and
political associates of the Nv Era commenced viz when
he had committed high crime had forfeited the confidence
Of nil honorable men, and was inmate of the sToDibs'
they have letters in their possession addressed TO me-
and written by R. c. Wetmore by any else those let
tiers my possession must have been intercept

hereby auhorizedto publish the same.t
Very respectfully yours, &C.

10 The HOME LEAGUE discussed last even.
ing the Report on international Copyright to a
late hour, and finally postponed the whole subject
indefinitely, almost by common consent. twas
found that the question was one on which great
earnestncss as we'll as contrarcty of opinion eX-
listed, and, as no action on the part of the League
appeared necessary, the course adopted was un-
doubtedly most judicious.

The RA1SERs.-These vocalists, unequalled for
the sweetness and natural simplicity as well as
the power and beauty cf their style, sang last

to hear them. We are not surprised at their I'M
equalled success. They give a morning Concert
at the Society Library this morning ut halfpast
