NEW L ORk OlI1. June 10, 1CO<.
Mr.. EDrroR:-I have been gratifying my Hoo
sier curiosity and wonder, for the last four days,
in this great and wicked Babylon Of America.
hare seen sights and heard news, / assure you.
A visit to New York pays man who will avail
himself of it for observation in the extent OF in
formation and knowledge of the world especially
its rascalitieS, which he may derive from it. l
think of writing you a long account of my expe-
rience here at the close of my stay in the city.
In this, can oily drop a word or two of public
matters interesting to Indianians
Governor Morton has lately been here, and
since his visit, the newspapers seem to be hush
ing up on the Slower fraud tell you, this is a
sore thing for someof our Indiana State officers.
1t is talked here, in all circles, that Mr. State
Agent Hudson, for long time after he knew OF
the fraud gave credit to the spurious bonds by
uniformly answering those who brought them
to him to obtain information before purchasing,
that "lndiana paid the interest on her bonds
promptly" leaving the impression that the spu-
rious bonds were valid, by not denying it.
So, too, it is here stated, as common informa-
ton. that when Gov. Morton came on. some
months ago, when the Loan Commissioners dis
covered and notified him of the fraud, he was
furious for public proceedings but that, directly
after, he was seen with those brokers engaged in
the swIndle, quaffing wine at the Fifth Avenue
HOTEL riding upon the water in yachts, and about
the streets OF the city in equpage splendid as
that in which, by the gratuity of grateful ap
pointees and contractors, he rolls in state through
the streets of indianapolis, and that before he
LETT the city he for keeping the affair State
secret, and actually urged our Loan Commis-
sioners to put the bonds they had for sale into
the hands of those very brokers. which they re-
fused to do. / had this last fact from gentle
man who told me he had it from the mouth of
Hon. James NJ. Ray, and | refer you to him for
its truth. 1t be proved, guess, in this city,
in any Court of justice.
find great change is going on here in the
public mind. The opinion is gaining ground that
the only salvation tor this nation is in restora-
ton to power of the old Democratic party Of the
North, who always respected the rights of the
South, and who thus preserved glorious
Union, till the Black Republicans, throug gh a
rampage on the constitutional rights of the
South fanaticism and demagogery, got posses
sion Of the Government. Here conservative men
of all parties are uniting with the Democracy
upon her platform, as the only hope of the
Union, instead of Democrats going off with
Black Republicans simply to keep those in power
who have been the cause of breaking up the
country.
/ am grati6ed an Indianian to find too, that
the Sentinel stands high here as one of those pa
pers whose efforts efficient in helping to save
the apparently expiring liberties of the Republic.
Your friend, G. H..
