MR. BoswRLL's CARD.
WAsHINGToN, u. q. Sept q, ls69-EDIros
day read q card published by Henry NJ. Knigh
wherein he states that be has never received
promise from the board Of police commission
ers that they would appoint him superinten-
dent OF police. have always had the highe
regard for Mr.. II. NJ. knight, and am sorry
thar bis name should appear in this correction
In the public PRINT. But Mr.. knight had stated
to me that Mr.. Bowen had repeatedly prom.
ised 70 make him superintendent Of police. He
also stated that MT. Bowen said that be could
get other members Of the board TO support him.
i feel il due TO myself, while do not wish to
call others INTO this controversy. TO refer the
public to Henry U. johnson, John H. Crane,
Ben jamin Severson, Joseph Williams and A
Watson, who have heard Mr.. knight say the
same concerning the promise made. As for
trying 10 make this party issue, it cannot be
done. This is personal matter. and shall re.
main 80, as far as / am concerned, unless the
other side desire to make 1t otherwise. will
place my devotion to the Republican party on
aplatform with any OF these gentlemen. With
the newspaper controversy 1 am done, and
shall not appear again unless forced 90 to do by

MR- cRoesMAN's CARD.
WASHINGTON, ID. Q. Sept.2 ~ l569.-Mr. Editor.
Your paper OF this morning contains a scurri.
lous attack upon me by Col. James r.
exhausted himself, and has nothing further in
tha. line. think it is well, on his own &C.
count and for his client. that such is the case.
this community; i am, therefore, little dis
turbed by his untruthful and maligart re-
marks concerning myself. The Colonel has a
good address, ana has displayed great agility
as q politician. had also regarded him as a
gentleman In the ordinary meaning Of that
word. II does not appear from his letter
why he eoes out Of the way to make this attack;
he Is not, however, the man to perform such
work for nothing, and is not likely TO sacrifice
his own prospects by too disinterested regard
for the great mer who patronize him.
At the proper time may have something to
say in regard to the origin Of the diffe rences
between Republicans which now threaten a
division of the party in this city, and trust
may thus be able to contribute something to
thai which all good oitizens 80 much desire To
promotes decent and honest admipistrafion
Of our city government. j, HI CRoaaNAw
