An obscure individual, McCrackin
by name; has written gossipiDg letter
to President johnson charging our for
eign ministers by name with sundry of
fences which are unbecoming gentlemen
and disgraceful to the country they rep
resent. He arraigns one for drunkenness,
others for yenality and all as living in
suits to their country in that they
are ehostile" to the Administration. In
addition to these grave crimes and mis-
deanours he charges them with being
New Englanders and radicals" and
feelingly asks if 'no other part of our
country is worthy of notice" and urges
that fit and decent men should be sent
abroad" This Unknown is especially
severe upon John Lathrop Motley, Min
lister TO Venice, swbo" he declares, "
does not pretend to conceal his disgust
at the Presidents conduct and says
that ''Seward is hopelessly degraded"
This letter, evidently the deliberate act
of an .impostor, Seward makes the
basis Of official action, writes an insult
ing letter to Mr. Motley and asks him
to contradict the serious charges of this
irresponsible and obscure accuser
Mr. Motley writes digniied reply. de-
nying the charges and rendering his res
ignation. The correspondence is asked
for by the Senate and this week, the gos-
siping letter of Met Crackinis furnished by
Mr.. Seward without any statement as
to the knowledge possessed BY his de-
partlnent as to the character or resi-
dence of the writer. Mr. McCrackin
is New Yorker and there all trace of
him is lost Dihgent search in the
City Directories fails TO unearth him.
Nr. Seward has never appeared before
the country in amore unfayorable light
than in this affair. 1t is not too much
to say that he is "hopeiessly degraded"
Acting upon the ridiculous allegations
of an obscure or mythical creature, he
has deliberately insulted man of great
abilities gentleman of rare social
qualities, scholar recognized living on
both Continents as one Of the first
historians and one who has honorably
and creditably represented his govern
snent and countrymen abroad, to an
extent rarely equalled and never sur
passed in the history of our foreign dip
Iomacy. In doing this be has not on
iy disgraced himself but he has grew
iously insulted the whole couutry.,

Exactly So.-The Findlay Jefcrsonian
gives the following report of the way in
which couple of "greenies'' were syindled
in saloon near the depot at Fremont on
the 4th:
There were two Others in The saloon be-
sides the two who we're swiDdled; and the
first-party No. I-were watching the lat
ter-party No. 2-throwing dice. Present.
iy one of them threw the dice sotbat twenty-
ons spots were upper masts tQne of party
No. / offered TO bet that there were not
twenty-one spots up. Party No. 2 jumped
at the chance, thinking they had got soft Que
in TOW, and between them raised 500. The
latter, With one pf party No. l, went into
back room to get an equal amount of money.
After getting il, they returned, put the mon
ey into the hands Of the one that remained
in the room, and counted the spots. and be-
hold bnt nineteen were up. OF course the
betting one of party No. received the money
from his confederate, and the soft ones we're
minus their piis. When they left one ofpar-
ty No. in the room wbila they went for the
money, it is supposed that he turned 0ue of
the dice. The losers pocketed the loss
quietly, not attempting to have any arrests
made. We understand that nearly every
day some person is swjndled in the Ealoob
referred to, and think it about time that the
authorities of Fremont look into the mat
ter, and thereby save the credit Of their town.
