copies for the newspaper press were allowed 10 be
taken by the Court of this extraordinary A" Nara.
tive,'' the only full correct, and word-for-word
port is only 10 be found IN the "Herald," as il was
taken down by our reporter from the lips of Mr..
Hoffman
The Congressional Reports, and Correspon-
dence Of the Herald.
The accuracy and graphic character of our re-
ports of the present interesting debates in Congress,
are as usual beginning TO increase the movements
of our friends, and the activity of our ioes Yes
terday we had order from our Washington agent
for increase of fy copies, to the number already
taken, and agents throughout all the large cities
are beginning to move in the same way. Our SUBJ
scrptions from the country, with cash in advance,
come in al the rate of 30 to 80 per day.
This singular movement in favor of the Herald,
arises from It's philosophical independence of all
clgues, parties and men, and its ability conse-
quence thereof, OF presenting the only correct, gra-
phic, interesting record OF events in this country No
administration can buy uswe belong to the present
age and to future times. No party can intimidate
rise above party, and only live in the regions
of truth, fact, philosophy, and human nature.
1t is very natural, therefore, that constant attempts
should be made to impair the character of the He
raid, lis proprietor, and its principal writers and re-
porters. The bitterness of disappointment and en-
Wy easily account for these malicious and feeble
attempts and ameng the most mean and silly that
we have seen of late, is the attempt of one T. N
Parmelee, who was dismissed last summer from our
service for his Incidence and incompetence, and
who is now in Washington, hang ing upon the Pres
dent and his friends endeavonng to wreak his silly
vengeance upon us, in the following letter, which
he writes TO an obscure paper in this city,
T. n. PARMELrEt LETTER TO New York PAPER.
WAsHrNGros, Dec. 81, 1912.
II is great pity that Mike Walsh did not remain in
Washington during the session. As long he here
Aree the notorious vagabond who acts reporter the
Herald was kept in perfect bodily fear, expecting,
day that he might be castgated by Nike OF course, At
tree is relieved by his absence.
1t is very curious to notice how differently the Herald
is looked upon since Parmelee left it, before,
of semio organ OF the President far as the letters
from Washington were concerned was owing to this
that the paper gained such circulation the United
States As might have been expected, the moment Mr..
Parmelee left it. the whole concern ceased to be object
oany interest whatever. The character of the Herald,
however not SO well understood at Washington
New York. and the pursued by Mr. p calcua-
ted to take of the odum which attached to the paper
home He is known to be of decided talents great
political TACT and uncommon disc reton II was natural
that he should feel degraded far he
with the Herald in the city of New York. and attempt
of the Scotch who owns the Herald to cheat MIN
out of several hundred dollars led to a separation.
Bennett order to give appearance to the truth
charge that Mr. Parmelee indebted to him, invented
ever devised n Snh Solar M favor person the
city OF New York-tha the person named presented it
and afterwards that the notary public, Mr. Ravens pro-
tested the aforesaid draft for The whole of
the story was sheer fabrication. Mr. Parmeee never
drew draft him for two hundred dollars-the person
named Bennepaper never had or presented any such
draft or any other himand the notary public named
heard of such draft until he named in the
Herald Yet all this detail of names and circumstances
made for the sake of giving currency to the e and
with view TO injure Mr.. Parmelee.
This is the version which Parmelee himself gives
of his transactions with us-though he affects to
give it as from another person, as anonymous 1t is
needless for us to say, that there is not word of
truth in the story-and the best evidence that can
be given of its falsehood is the following letter writ
ten to us at the time, in Parmelee's hand-wri-
ting, which proves the accuracy of our statement,
and establishes himself TO be self-convcted liar
OF no ordinary degree.

II will be observed in this letter, which proves
him a liar No l. that Parmeee ailudes TO ga
thousand favors' we had already bestowed upon
him. This refers TO $500 in cash, which
advanced TO pay his debts to Mr. Yale of the
United States Hotel in this city, which, however,
he never applied to that purpose. | have the note
now in my possession unpaid. Yet because | re-
fused TO fork over" more money, after his numer-
Gus receptions, pracsediboth on President Tyler
and myself, he had the cool lmpudence TO get a
lawyer 10 write me note demanding me to pay
over the balance ] owed him, or he would sue me.
In reference 10 his opinion of the character of the
Herald and myself, when he thought that he could
succeed in his purposes could multiply evidence
ON evidence I; but the following is sufficient, ex-
tracted from two OF his letters, TO prove him liar
No 2-and liar No. 81
