(Signed) GEORGE OPDYKE
Sworn before me this 18th day Q
February, 1864.
WIN. II. Armstrong
Notary Public, N. Y. City
Farley swears that he is the sol
owner of the claim Of which Opdyk
swears he is nearly two-thirds owner
What commentary upon relation
between father-in-law and son-in-law
1t will be seen that while startin,
in this speculation as only one-thir,
owner Of the gun contract before th
conclusion he had ."gobbled up" 80
95 cents of the 81 prospective profit
on each carbine.,
Mr.. Gibbs, the carbine patentee
says that in the claim submitted t.
the supervisors, on which S196, ,00(
paid, there is large swindle.
And while appealing to the laws o
his country, civil and criminal, Mr.
Opdyke can, if he pleases, enlarge the
field of inquiry so as to embrace The
alleged sale of the Office of surveyor o.
the Port Of New York for the moder
ate sum of 10000; the co-partner
ship with Nothing to Wear" Butler
in tho Custom House labor contract;
and the shoddy blankets that were re-
jected in New York and subsequently
worked in at Philadelphia.
The Erenmg Post "confesses and
avoids" The "Albany Lobby" rep.
resentative Of the Post is scores
pondent" and not an editor. But
tlraU correspondent used the Post, ed
itorially and otherwise, to promote
schemes in which he had q pecuniary
interest. And the "Navy Agent" il
only proprietor Of the Post. Tive
hours before the Navy Agent was 81
multanoously removed from office and
arrested for defrauding the govern.
ment, the Post, that model of "tempel
and manners" said:
"a COMMON SLASDERER.-We pub
lish elsewhere a reply of Mr.. Hender-
son, the Navy Agent at this port, tc
the charges against his official integ,
rity that Thurlow Weep raked from
the cutters and spread before the
public without stopping to enquire
their truth. 1t will be seen that Nh
Henderson disposes of these charges
most efectually, as well as others
which some person had succeeded in
imposing upon Senator Grimes.-
Weeds repetition of the falsehoods
he clutched at desperately to divert
attentian from his own career"
"He not only slanders Mr.. Hender'
son, however, whose business connect
ed with the Evening Post converted
his malice, but like an animal in Q
rage, he filings his dirt equally at 9
dozen others; Mr.. Field, Mr.. Opdyke
Mr.. Ketchum and many more who
have thwarted him in his corrup
schemes or in some way or other be
come the OBJECTS of his animosity, are
assailed in the most reckless manner
All of these who have thought i
proper to notice his abuse, pronounce
his dissertations tissue Of lies, anC
Mr. Oydyke, it will be iseen, whose
official as well rs personal probit,
has been called into question, has re
solved to give Mr.. Weed an opportu
nifty Of proving his words in a court o
justice. If he will also embrace IL
the prosecution Of journals which have
been so quick to spread these calum
nies, he will do service to the pub
lie.
While thousands were reading thi
ill-timed editorial in the Post, its as
sociate was before Judge Belts, offer
ing the same banker, who baile'
Konstam, who is now at Sing Sing
as his bohdsman.
The "business connections" of tn
Navy Agent were SO fur mixed VI
that an outside government timbe
contractor had his office in the Pos
building, a clerk of the Post beinl
also for the timber contractor. Re
Gently, when the Navy Agent had hi
house in Brooklyn painted, the paint
er, Mr. Zimmerman, of Broome st
found himself supplied mysteriousl
with white lead and oil. White lea'
and oil are largely purchased for tn
navy. Years ago the Post apprise
the public that the Navy Agenc
abounded with "unclean drippings." !"
But let me for o moment return t
the "Albany Lobby" for the purpos
of showing that not only the CORES
pondent of the Post puts money in hi
purse, but the Efening Post is essentl
ally favored. Some three or fou
years ago its correspondent lobbie
through bill doubling the prices G
the Post for legal advertising. Dun
ing the recent session of the Iegisla
ture, that correspondent lobbied thrS
bill by which the State released il
interest in certain real estate, that re
lease inuring to the benefit of On edi
tor of the Evening Post sfh
/ pass to Mr.. David Dudley Fielt
who also ''confesses and avoids" y
This is the substance, for forbea
to copy the coarse slang in which tn
meaning is conveyed q ,allicthi
there is not word of truth except th
fact that Gen. Fremont has been an
is still my client; that he, and not
sought the relation, and that is m
compensation for legal services, In
cessant and most embarrassing an
difficult, the value which 1 leave hil
to express. l received not two huI
dred thousand dollars, but two thou'
and shares of stocks, the par value {
which was one hundred dollars pc
share, but which l could at one tim
have bought for TWENTY-FIVE dollar
