New York Daily 1imesy Of November 3OA.
The above was tclegraphed from this city
on Sunday to the Eastern Press, by the
thieving hounds Of neerodom in this city
Mark you, it was telegraphed on Sunday
by the piots Government plunderers who
ihfest the Capitol Of Ohio. Morgan escaped
on last Friday night some forty or forty.
eigbthour before the lying whelps found
courage, an,i felt the full necessity of putting
off upon eullible public the above disgrace>
ful and wicked fasehopd. 1t was on Sunday.
the local editor (now Mr.. McEwcn) of the
Journal wrote the article we copied last
week, putting the responsibility of the escape
of Morgan where it belongs, viz: on the au-
thorities having charge OF the prisoners. ad I
This authors Of the aboE We libel charged bis
escape to laid oIaCopperhead friends from
outside and by bnbing guards inside" The
lie was too big, with the accumulating facss
against their, own partisans and friends to.
put it all on the "Copperheads," so they dl !,
vided it between Themselves and the "Cop.
perhcads" But to shuttle off the lie a little
f,, A Lnr "A III = l..
Coppe,seads WiB he arrested to norrb,o for
complicity IN eBectng the escape" And this
lie, made to cover The known guilt OF the
Republicans, whom money, even grecnbacks
can buy to do'any act 20 villiapy. is sent
through tbs telegraph TO oil parts Of the Un
ion! So base set Of wretches were never
out Of a Peiientiary before and at qarge on
community. They admit that tn cir own
"guards" were Bribed. That they do not
deny, but confess ills The Warden OF the
Penitentiary as impudent Republican as
lives, he admits also, we are informed, that
he himself informed the prisoners ofthe air
vaults under their cells, ard that he describ
ed their dimensions a..a, f -
More than that, on or about the same hour
Of the night or morning that Morgan and his |
men escaped, the Daily Ohio Sta o JournqlE
appeared with the following paragraph: s4a
i "OMINoUs-A Asa Il. Dimmock, of the Co.
shocton Den,dcrrt, Mr. Knapp late candidate
for Treasurer OF State, on the Democratic !
ticket, and the notorious Kenny that nice
little man from, the Ashland district. We're
all in town yesterday. Something is UP
certain. The same notable persons were
here just prior to the late arrests Look

Mr.. Kenny saw this paragraphs at the De
pot, when he was abou ITO leave for home in /
the early morning train. OF 4 o'clock A.lM.
And as the Journal knew all about the at
tack Of the mob on The Crisis office, before
it occurred-and it krew all about an agent
81 jeff Davis being in our city organizing I
the shoddy Matamoras spectators, and
never told it until alter the viliines trangac
tion, Mr.. Kenny concluded to return to the
city and see what was up now. After re
manning atthe hotel until after breakfast
the story started that John Morgan had es.
capped from prison, and at once Mr., Kenny
came to the conclusion that the individual
who instigated the above paragraph in the
Journal knew that Morgan was to escape
that night, Mr.. Kenny is State Senator,
and felt that he had right to know what
this all meant aud concluded to visit the
Penitentiary and see for himself He and
Mr. Critchfeld, the Attorney General of the
State, nproceeded to the nPenitentiary and
asked permission of the Warden to examine
the prison and see whether the reports of
the escape through hole, or the, suspicion
that they got out through the front door was
correct! '' ~ '+' l'' : u '''
Y But the pdlitc Warden diseretely refused
both the State Senator and Attorney Gen.
eral to visit the inside OF the deserted pris |.
on or to give any satisfaction that looked
probable. In TACT the lease. knileY story
only led to still stronger suspicion that some
foul play wascovered up, because no honest

would ever print, 50 dirty a, paragraph as the
above from, the tJox'ndl, which was put in
