The Awful Rupture between the Cabinet
ana the New York Observation-Disclosures Card
from MIR. Brega, ana More Disclosures
Coming.
We have been watching with some little curl
osity, the movements, declarations and antics of
cabinet ministers and cabinet correspondents, as
well as some Of the outside editors, brought about
by our publishing the very curious and unique cor
respondence which recently appeared in our
lumns and which was claimed by Mr.. Geo. w.
Brega, of Washington, a very worthy gentleman,
holding high post in the Land Office, and under
the immediate influence and power of Mr.. Clay
ton, Mr.. Ewing and other members OF the cabinet.
Finding that the former dose produces amusing eff
fects in high quarters, are busy preparing ano-
iher of the same sort" one more left" as the
razor strop man says to the public.
In searching among our papers, we have disco
vered further batch of correspondence from the
same quarter, disclosing further funny movements
of the cabinet, and foreshadowing more of their
curious policy, both foreign and domestic, all of
which we shall publish including also the recent
correspondence, with the full name of the writer
attached TO each letter, rerbatim ct Heratini, as
they were written by the individual himself, and
as they can be sworn to by the foreman and proof
readers in our office. We mean TO show, in its
length and breadth, by these singular develope-
ments the utter untness of the present cabinet for
the positions which they at present occupy, and
their entire incapacity TO conduct the affairs of
great nation under General Taylor, whose great
name and noble reputation, as well as his honest
and pure principles, have been materially injured
during the last few months, by their folly and in
sufiiciency.
On the first publication of this correspondence,
some days since, 1t seems, that the writer, Mr..
Brega, who is the same Individual that occupies
high post in ofthe departments, and, therefore,
undoubtedly under cabinet influence, has thought
proper to come out with a card in the Washington
Republic, and declare those letters to be in great
measure fabricated and garbled, in such way as
10 change their character and purposes entirely.
We shall show, by the disclosures which we are
about TO make, and by the most indisputable evil
denoe, on the oaths of dozens of unimpeachable
and moral men, that every item, word and
letter of the correspondence is perfectly anthem
TIC, end has proceeded from George w. Brega.
And, furthermore, we believe that the inter-
views which he declares having had with seve-
raj members of the cabinet, and the conversa-
tions which he gives, are all equally authentic and
truthful. But more than this On about the
very time that the famous "card," signed George
W. Brega, denying their authenticity, appeared in
the Washington Republic, the following note was
received from Washington, addressed to on the
envelope, and written TO gentleman connected
with this Office, who manages this Department.
NOTE FROM O. W. BREGA.
wAsHrSeIoS Nov II, 1919.
In reply TO your favor Of yesterdays date, beg TO
tay will exert myself every way TO procure at the
earliest possible moment the documents NC, think
can succeed In placing you In advance with many Of
thsm and as soon as other papers with the residue
For many reasons am DESTROYS Of having personal
interview with MIR Bennett and will endeayor 20 be in
New York before the meeting Of Congress. Mesnwhi
assure you my feelings towards him have never suf
fsred the slightest change and nothing will afford
greater pleasure than being able to forward In any way
the interests Of his paper,
for about three weeks after the last and some
letters written since about the navigation laws stocks,
However whatever he deems correct will be perfectly
satisfactory tome. am, yours truly,
GEO. W. BREGA.
From the terms Of this note, II certainly would
seem that the " card signed by the same name
in the Washington RepssJiic, must be spurious alto
rether, or has been procured by some miracle, and
inserted by Mr.. Clayton and the cabinet, order
10 change the issue if they could, and thus prevent
the laugh which is rapidly rising against them in
the public face
Our contemporary Of the Courier aud Enquirer
allowed some very dsrespectful remarks, the
other day, 10 be made Of Mr. Brega in his
columns. This is very unkInd for it Is well
known that our Mr.. Brega was formerly a cor
respondent Of the same Courier and Enquirer,
at Washington, and after the refusal of our
contemporary TO pay him what he owed him, Ga
common practice Of the new Minister to Vienna,)
he abandoned that journal, and sought employment
as correspondent Of the Ne,C York Herald, for a
small weekly salary, which was given him. During
the time he has been writing for US, he has acted
with great industry, and gwen us complete saus-
faction. Soon after the induction Of the present
cabinet, we discovered that Mr. Brega occupied
high position in the Land Office, and that, in his
correspondence, he rather favored the special
views Of Mr. Clayton and the cabinet, than guided
himself by any other direction whatever. BE that
as II may, we have not the slightest doubt but the
interviews between HIM and Mr. Clayton, and the
descriptions which he gave of their policy and
views, are all correct and are true TO the letter,
notwithstanding the necessity under which he felt
himself CALI ID upon, recently, to come out and quail
fy them. if the, "csrd" in the Republic really was
his. The discre nancy between the original letters
descriptive of the cabinet policy, and his last card
in the Washington RepuJtic, Is not a matter in
which we have any CO 'ucern, and we DO not mean
TO trouble ourselves abo u II, as Tar as ne is con-
cerned. For the satisfact on OF the public, we IN
tend 10 a suit at law against the proprie-
tors Of the Republic, in Wa shington, and also
against the proprietor Of the Con- To aud Enqrvr,
in this city, in order to bring the whole matter
before court and Jury, and thus proy,' the world
that the correspondence which we have published,
and the additional letters which we shal' publish
