COLD SPRING, Dec. 5. lS5S.-DEAR SIR
| have received your letter Of the lst instant,
together with the copy OF the memorial sent
to the Postmaster General. l very much re-
greet that did not see you, as this memorial
does not answer the complaints, that on my
visit to the lower towns Of Westchester pro-
viOusly to the election, came TO me from at
leass half dozen different sources, OF your
want Of sympathy and cooperation with the
friends Of the national Administration in
your town, complaints since confirmed by the
chairman of your Democratic committee
The charge is not that you did not vote with
them, but that you refused to work With thcm
and use your influence in the town in sup.
port OF the DcHlOcFatic Ichtt, aHu tnef "o"
say that if you and your friend Mr.. Bcun-
dge, the light-housekeeper had been true,
,ou could have controlled at least thirty votes
that were given against us, or thrown away
upon the American ticket.
l am thus particular in stating the charges
as they exist against you, because | should
very much regret to do you an injustice, and
to give you an opportunity of rebutting them,
which your memorial does not do. l agree
with YOU that if you are removed, on the
same charges, MIR. Brundige should also be
removed. Yours very truly,
GoUv. KEMBLE.

ragpicker Of that city, in the following terms:
The oldest ragpicker in Paris, died this
week, and at the egc of ninetyoae. Ragpick-
iug you SEE, is favorable to longevity. This
old man, like most Of the profession, was rich
once, aud his money being squanderel, he
fell down the ladder of society, rung by rung,
until be reached the bottom. lie was well
educated, too, ard his brethren Of the rag.tag
tie locked up to him with respect The Rag
pickers' Association made him free men,
ber gave him free ticket to all their festi-
walls, reserved him n nuuber of streets into
which no one was allowed to venture on his
picking excursions, and gave him monthly
allowance of pocket money for bis gin and
tobacco. His comrades buried him, and his
funeral was largely attended by ragpicker6."
