I Az chameleons change their colofs and in.
sscts undergo Transformation, so from the
putrid carcass Of the '.dsad dlck" suddenly
crawls forth q rsttlesnake. He writhes and
hisses and drags his slimy length over two
columns Of the Press this morning. The
RxruBLrcAs's bombshell Of Monday morning
stirred the nest where the reptile was hid.
The "Custom-housc letter" was too much.
The exposure Of the fact that he desired to
make q Democrat" Collector Of the port Of
New York, at the expense Of his Republican
friends in the Senate in general and the two
New York Senators in particular, who were
urging other men, has not only disturbed
the sleep Of the creature, but produces a
wriggling that will leave the miserable reptile
without . skin, unless he is caught and
Gagged. E
1t is to be presumed that "my writings
in to-day's Press. alluded to above, appears
in the ChronicM in Washington, as they
always appear on the same day in "my two
newspapers"
I'D. D." invites the publication Of any Of
his "private and confidential" epistles.
Knowing that no gentleman should allow
anything "private and confidential to exist
between himself and such sycophantic and
unmitigated political prostitute as JoHS W.
FoRSEr, who has been fed from the public
crib all his life and never had a friend that
he did not betray, like the coon. he does not
wait to be shot, but comes down.
We sincerely hope that the people Of Penn
sykania, before whom FoRsEr is now beg
ging for an Office which SIMON CAMERON says
he can never have, and the United States
Senators who voted him his bread and butter
with his Office, and without which he could
not live, and the Representatives Of
the House who, to spite Mr.. SEWARD,
voted twenty thousand dollars Of the peo'
ple's money out Of the Treasury into For
NEY's pocket, will carefully read his letter Of
to-day, addressed to The president, and then
witch the disclosures which may follow. He
speaks Of his "uncalc,dating friendship for
ANDREW JOHNSON. This is joke approach-
ing sublimity. FoRNEY never shook an hon
est man by the hand without calculating
whether he could use him. He speaks Of
HANNIBAL HAMLIs as an "incorruptible pa
triot' in to-days Press. He accidentally
tells the truth about Mr.. HAMLIK in this in
stance. FoRNEY discovered the fact when
Mr.. HAxLS, ns presiding officer Of the Sen.
ate, refused to trust him (FoRKEY) with the
disbursement Of the Senate funds, and con-
ferred that duty upon the Sergeant-atArms,
Mr.. BRowS. 1t was this act Of Mr.. HAnLISs
which caused FoRsEY to discover that he
(HAMLIS) was an '"incorruptible patriot"
From that day forth FoRSEY made war upon
Mr.. HAMLIS, and went to the Baltimore Con-
vention to oppose has renom'natioI
So much for the letter of FoRNEY printed
to-day. 1t is the most unblushing tissue Of
blended egotism, falschood and buncombe
that was ever printed in the same space.
The Custom-house letter is printed here
to-day. But nobody who knows FoRSEy is
astonished either at its glaring inconsisten-
cies or consummate impudence. They all
say, laughingly, Those are FoRNEY's ear
marks" II you ask a well-posted politician
in the Union party, here, the question "How
many votes will FoRNEY get in the Legisla-
ture for Senator?" derisive echo is the
answer-Votes? ,......a..
Of the Custom-house letter." and I'D.
DIS" explanation of to-day, more hereafter.
