the Arkansas papers by Senator Borland, relative
to his attack upon me in the Senate Chamber, in

readers in this evenings issue
Inasmuch as this is an e1 parte narrative, allow
me- in justice to myself, to suggest that the pub
LEGATION thereof be suspended until the entire
correspondence on this subject, including Mr.. BIS
statement can be furnished yon and laid before
the public that while they may form their own
opinion of the proprety Of thus publishing at dis
tant point what has been entirely disproved here to
the satisfaction of two umpires of Mr. BIS
own selection, they will not fail to be astonished
at the determined efforts made to pursue with
persisting malignity so humble an individual as
myself whose only crime has been to suffer,
without any appeal to public opinion or legal
justice, the effects of uncalled-for personal vio
lence, followed up by insidious efforts, backed by
the supposed influence Of his official position to
add official to personal injury.

moderately well-dressed man, aged apparently
about twenty-five years, was found alone in the
library of the Presidents mansion, where he
had introduced himself unperceived. On being
questioned as to the cause of his being there, his
replies were those of person non compos mentts.
He strenuously refused to give his name or place
of abode. 1t is thought, however, that he is
from Philadelphia. There being no place in the
District adapted to the reception of persons of
unsound mind, he was necessarily committed to
the county Jail until further discovery shall be
