| Russian GOyernment-AmO Orphan
Girl Defends tho Character and
Memory Of Her Deceased Father.
We have heretofore set forth our views on
the pending claim Of the heirs Of Perkln'
bagalnst the Russian Government, and re.
published the correspondence between his
Excelleucy O. oatacaEy and Hon. o. N,
Clay IN reference 10 said claims, With such
comments as we deemed just and proper in
the premises "a American Journalists.
Though we had no personal acquaintance
with Captain Perkins, yet from the best In
formation we could get and led by the firmly
expressed aud often repeated opinion OF the
American Government, we fully believed
that justice is on the side OF Perkins, and
we ventured to say co. The attack made
upon Perkins by Mr.. OatacaEy, 10 HE letter
10 Mr.. Clay, we thought was unjust in prln-
ciplo TO both the public and private parties
involved, and wholly false In point OF fact;
aud In our editorial OF the 18th Of March
ultlmo we handled Mr.. CatacazJ's letter In
tho manner we thought Il merlted, and we
have said we would publish any matters Of
fact or statements that the Russian Minister
might choose TO present.
But while We were made acquainted with
the fact that Il was aud IL the intention OF
Of the friends Of Captain Perkins, as also
tho Government Of the United States, to de-
mRnd and require tho fullest justice TO DO
done, We did not expect TO be called upon to
present such soul-Stlrrlng Vindlcation Of
the dead mariner as Is offered on the part Of
bis daughter, yet leaa than twenty years OF
age, which card vo herewith present % our
readers as production which does credit 10
our American femala oharaoter. and arbIh.
