Mr.. John Hutchins in a fit of ungovernable des-
p~eration, drops alhi old titles, and dashes out
under his own great name, in the last Chronicle.
Mighty man this who can stand before him p
In the name Of all the Gods at once, upon what
meat doth this Caesar feed. that he is grown so
His unmanly attack upon me. dragging my hum
bic name into his controversy, receives, as it de-
serves to, the unmitigated. contempt of all honora-
BILE men. As private citizen, having nothing in
view but the best interests Of my country, / have
thought it my duty to support Gen: Garfield for re-
election to Congress. Notwithstanding Hutchins is
my neighbor, and wants the place and because I
refused TO support this man, Hutchins, he makes
this dastardly attack upon me, parading my name
in the papers. with his vile and malicious accom-
paniments. No 0eHtIemdH would be guilty Of such
discourtesy, and his looks convince me that he is
ashamed Of hlmselffo r so doing. He oughttO hide
himself in his n~eighbor's smoke house and be
covered with the ashes of humiliation, for at least
a fortnight, by way Of penanoe:
Hutchins talks hippingly of the rogues calender.

and fidelity we have unwavering confidence, his
childish complaints Notwithstanding.
If lam not greatly mistaken, Hutchins has writ
ten more articles, under a greater variety Ofnames,
against GARFIELD. than any other man In the Dis
triet. 1 have not the freedom in your Office, Mr..
Editor, that some others seem TO have, and con-
sequently ! shall be allowed to guess that l am
right in this regard. But it is immateriala and IN
becoming in him, a volunteer candidate Tor Con-
gress. to RroWl about others replying to his as
saults upon his opponents. He INDUCES in more
foreign to any thing in issue mere childish plea
for sympathy from the Old Liberty party of the
District, but ! assure him, that that party, from
Judge Hoffman down, understand him and his
wailings, and they avatlnot.
Hutchins is sensitive on the claim question. He
plains thatit has nOtbeen considered by thatbody.

reader will not fail to observe how careful he is
not to deny it. He lets that matter out TO his Lieu
tenant, Spear; whose positivs knowledge is won

When I read his verbose and labored article, I
was astonished that he did not deny it point blank.
But I read on, after his charming name, and found
Gle signed "R. " right after. Hutchins abuse Of my

Hutehins says he has lived my, neighbor for 81
years, and has never seen anything in me that
would warrant him in charging me with eorrup-
ton. OF euurse he hasnOt; wei live for adIherent
and more noble purpose. and ne must have credit
for this much of truthfulness, In the midst of his
~WormwOod and gall. yet it was scarcely worth while
TO publish il in the Chronicle, for every one knows
it already, including older heads and better hearts
than his.
His pueriIe effort, TO connect me with Mr.. Hall.
IS rather laughable. That gentleman needs not

positions. But Mr.. II. lodges the charge that he
is spending money freely to secure his nomination,
and wisely too does he dodge 1t. Iii is well for him
to do so, and he knows why. He claims that 1
