EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN! While j
am not DESTROYS of contributing an I'M
portancc to what might, perhaps, according
TO theory frequently adopted, be better
treated By silent contempt, on account of the
insignl1cance Of its authorship, cannot, in
Difference to truth and correct public opin.
ion, refrain from asking you to permit me TO
notice, through your columns, the card OF
one John ii. Crane, htc commissioner of the
Fourth ward, published In the journals OF
to-day, In which he prcsumcs TO take an un.
pardonablc liberty with the name Of one with
whom he has nothing to do, and who, thanks
TO q respect for select company, has nothing
to do with him.
brand the letter of this reckless and I'M
scrupulous man as false In spirit, false In
fact and false in intent. No such firm as
James X. O'Belrno & Co., with my knowl.
edge and consent, exists In this District OF
elsewhere, and / ought TO know something
about 1t. No such amount has been received
as he alleges, nor under the circumstances
he specifics. This eX-commissioner will have
to settle the responsibility of this, as well
rs other acts Of his, TO be investigated,
through the stern requirements Of the law,
of which the public, who perhaps care moth.
Ing about him, shall be advised in due course.
l do not mix in newspaper controversies,
but 1t bchoovcs me to say that this rash man
is one Of the same party who, aided and re.
inforced BY one J. ii. Crossman, arc making
war upon Hon. Saylcs J. Bowen, whose In.
corruptiblc honor and integrity and whose
lofty ability can in no wise be affected by
the carping of consciencelcss hypocTitcs
whose willy and cunning schemes for FRAUD
and plumber In the Fourth ward have beer
brought to sudden grief by the somewhat
| delayed but justi6ablc exercise Of Mayo
Bowcn's prcrogatiyes.
As part of this political conspiracy
against Mayor Bowen, and ! stamp II al
nothing more, looking TO view Of the sue
ccssion In the mayoralty Of this city, Mr.
Crossman writes to the Councils as though
party were rcsiduary In him and vested II
the disposition made OF his carcass. 1t woul,
be a sad commentary upon the history Of thu
past five years, If lot or little of 1t were L
be in anywise effected by the sweeping ava,
of a myriad of such creatures. Let me asl
our respected Councils, before whom Ii
brings so sanctimonlously his naive ant
cunning plea upon his removal, how doc
the fact of his keeping n provision store, int
which his man Friday (Crane) may drlyt
the poor laborers for the corporation to pur
chase their supplies, and then he feccod b,
having to pay Mr.. Crossman ten per cent
for cushing the obligations OF the city, com
pare with his high-sounding loyalty to tn
Republican party, and his pretensions Il
slcGky integrity and silken sclf-sacrllcc
How low he bows who thus expounds the cX
! pedicnclcs Of the Republican party as per
tain TO his simulated devotion and immol.l
ton In its behalf.
The adrot appeal 10 the opposition in ~
board may well start the inquiry cr-M
telligcnt members, to whose safe -kccplnl
The Republican party, as well MS the interest

I Sanizer! Let them not be dcludCd by tn
vaunting display of his wounded SELF unit
he has lcgitimately and honorably fought
battle in the cause which he so loudly cxtol
| III sounding words
One word more and | have done.
Crane, Crossman and company arc sucl
disintcrcsted Republicans, and so true 4
the faith why is ii that they arc either al
rcctly or through connections associate,
with the old clique of Democratic contrac
tors who have fattencd on City Hal! oial
and why Is 1t that their interests hay
seemed to run, and do now, inscparably i
the same channell
When the question Of integrity and frau
Is properly solved as 1t relates to these gen
tlCmen and others, the Councils and tho cit
residents will be unmlstakably informed n
