was clear and conclusive evidence for

"B." he said meant Butler laid out on

As an American citizen with inaliena-
BILE rights / first refused indignantly to
! explain this strictly private dispatch |;
but when Butler ordered the sergeant at
arms to lock me up in Winnie Ream's
studio with a bust of Lincoln, my cour-
age failed me, and deciphered the dis
patch, which referred to my personal
prospects for Postmaster of Brooklyn !;
Boggs was laid out, Anthony Campbell
had given up and gone home; and that /
was all right for the Postofice. Fl. l. ..ir
So I thought, but, like the Impeach-
ers, L was disappointed.
Butler was not satisfied with this ex-
planation, and threatened to send for
Boggs. to see if he couldn't pump an ex-
PLANTATION out of him. .-s-o,.
After this narrow escape curbed my
epistolatory zeal, and avoided the Post
Office and telegraph while remained in
Washington. ssa@.. 5.t1..
Since Wooley has been provided with
free lodgings inthe Capitol several fami-
lies who complain of high rents have Of
fered their services to the Managers as
contumacious witnesses, but as there
wouldn't be apartments enough in the
Capitol to accommodate them without
turning Congress out of doors, the Of
fers have been declined. 30 e17idEf 3a-a2.
[ Butler thinks witnesses without capi-
tai are not worth lodging at the Capitol.
Buta witness worth twenty thousand
dollars is not to be lost sight of, as long
as there is any chance Of getting at his
money! hHE s7aua9A EiITa 7ol ,'Tsi.a
2 I called on Grant and congratulated
him on his nomination, and assured him
of the support of the Weeksville Grant
Club which 1 intended to join as soon
as 1 got home. :2aH1.
In that charrningly terse and nom
committal way he responded: "Marshal
Browns pups have got their eyes OPEN"
! After this explicit response there can
be no doubt that the devotion of the w.
G.. @. will be recognized when Grant is
President. 5a U7TI i'.sLHa .lfsI ad 81,
I-then called on Colfax and assured
him that he had been the choice of
Weeksville from the start, that the re-
solutions endorsing Fenton were merely
supplementary, out of gratitude for the
pardon of a relative of the secretary of
the club, who,S having no funds of his
own at the bank, had used the name of
a gentleman who had, on check for a
thousand dollars, for which the preju-
diced criminal authorities had sent him
to Sing Sing. r ii 5aa -o' 'a1'1e a'
o l also reminded Schuyler that we
were brother typos. He was a printer
in his early life, and you no doubt re-
member with gratitude how 1 came to
your assistance at the time of the print
ers' strike, and set up portion of my
epistle. ss 81 = -s
y l meant to have followed it up and
become regular printer, but when Mrs.
O'Lanus heard that you were employing
young ladies to set type, she objected.
q She said it wasn't proper for married
men to be setting up with the girls.
As Grant has so eloquently expressed
it, / said, "Let us have peace" and
dropped the case for the pen. which is
than the shooting-stick. sss OF;
j Colfax and 1 were old friends after
this introduction. r 1 told him that his
rulings in, the chair had always elected
my warmest admiration, and as Ben
Wade had been found wanting, no filter
man for promotion. could have been Sc
lected, and that I had the fullest con-
viction that he would go up in November
next with the entire ticket. -,
Colfax was very afable, but he didn't
ask me to- take anything. He is doing
the temperance. so that the Chicago tick
ct, like the platform, is half and half. s
Having become disgusted with the in
gratitude of Democracy and despairing
of the present administration, / find con-
ISOLATION in the Chicago platform. which
everything in general and
nothing in particular, and taken in con-
nection with Grants letter of acceptance
holds out political prospect on which
