and we had determined to say anything Of
him or about him, anything regarding the public print

written us yesterday by Mr.. Ryes requires US to say

evidence taken before Mr. Blacks committee in 1870
The facts these:
The friend who defended US from Mr.. Rivess attack
in our absence had been informed OF the existence OF the
document in question When Mr.. Rivess attack was
made he desired to obtain scopy of it and the foreman
Of the Office. whose knowledge of such matters was
greater than that Of any other person connected with the
Union establishment, was requested to obtain copy,
He reported that the volume which contained the desired
document missing from the set in the Union office
hat it was the only volume missing from the set that
had gone the Capitol 10 find it that he had applied
all the places accessible hm-at the document room
Of the House and the document room Of the Senate
that this particular document missing al both that

some loose documents in room in the Capitol, and that
be there found the document after long search.
He had no right to take bound documents from the
Ibsanes, and he could no, copy a document OF lao
pages
The singular disappearance of the volume containing
this document from the set left at the Union Office by
Blair Rves-its disappearance from the other places

on any particular person, left the public to Judge,

and who refused TO make any amende when the charge

For our own part we never suspected Mr.. Rives Of
ICfoning the document in question. Mr.. Rves knows
