IT. B. Peterson 4 Brothers, No. 3O6 Ches-
nut Street, Philadelphia, have in press and
will publish in a few days, aThe Life Of
Hon. Schuyler Colfax," written by Rev.
A. Y. Moore, of South Bend, Indiana, who
was for twelve years, as pastor and friend,
in the entire confidence of Mr.. Colfax, and
had access to the files of paper published by
Mr.. Colfax for twenty years, and to the
Congressional Globe: knows all his mast
history and all who have known him from
boyhood. He began this biography two or
three yeals ago, so that it is not one of the
hurried and ephemeral publications SO com.
mon in election years. Mr.. Moore is gen.
tleman of fine talent and culture, and there
is no doubt but that his biography of Mr..
Colfax will be worthy of its distinguished
subject.

been realized, l have no further objection
to your publishing any sketch, more or less,
full, of my life, you may have prepared.
As you were for dozan years a fellow
townsman of mine, and valued friend, l
suppose you know as much about nv his
tory as the public would care about knowing; :;
and although my engrossiug duties here
leave me no time TO revise the manuscript,
l have no fear that your work will not be
faithful one.
