TIE CHAKGE Exploded.

lhe correspondent of the HeraM re-
ferred to in the above good-aatured arti-
Gle in the Appeat denies absolutely
the charge thus recklessly brought against
nm having origanited what is known as
the sleeping car scandal" That charge
Is without the slightest vestige of founda-
ton, and since it has been made by the
editor Of the APp'at without taking the
slightest pains to verify it it is also wick
edly malicious.
The editor Of the appeal is imperfec,ly
informed, even as to the facts of this mem.
orable interview and Of the despatch that
made 1t SO stormy. The "touch of Nj.
Davis boot is Il flower of rhetoric which
could only have budded and boomed in a
| very carelessly exuberant fancy. A full
true and particular account of this inter.
| view and of all the circumstances leadinp
up to it was published in yesterdays Her,
aid. 1t is only necessary here to add tina,
the correspondent Of the Herald violated n,
confidence in publishing the contents o
the letter which the appeal declares wa
marked private and confidential Ar
extract from the letter in question wa
read to the Herald correspondent, the rea
der well knowing the profession and oil
ject of the correspondent; no injunction @
secrecy was exacted Of the correspondent,
aud therefore no violation of conhdenc
could have been committed.
As to the sleeping car scandal, the col
respondent alluded to, so far from havin
penned the account in the Louisyill
Co""erctdt, never saw or heard anythin
like detailed account Of 1t until n
reached New-Sork. AT the time Of 4
J. publication he was In Arkansas. Comm
!, up the Mississippi river 70 Cairo, he hear
The Cairo daily bulletin., 1871-08-01

whispers of the scandal, and few days
after he saw Nr. Davis emphatic denial
of IL. The said correspondent has never
written line for the Louisville CONNER
cidt, or any other newspaper except the
New Y ork Herald during tho last four
months. Neither directly nor indirectly
ala ne have any connection whatever with
the serio-comic complication. To corrob-
crate all, which--if our eorroboration be
| hecessary.-nn extract from the CONNER
c'dt itself is appended below.
THE REAL AUTHOR OF THE scANpEL.
From the Louisville Commercial, July 2sl
| The article which appeared in our Sstur-
days issue upon this subject went to press
before the telegraphic despatch giving
Mr; Davis card of denial, which appeared
IN the same issue, was brought to our at
KnoIvi lie on the 10th inst on his vav 10
Memphis, he has taken the earliest oppor-
tunity to make the denial which he found
on his arrival there, was deemed necess
ary.' AS he has met the question like the
gallant gentleman which we have never
doubted him to be, and has given the story
as promptly as he could, a denial In the
most emphatic and judicious language, we
hope the scandal will be consigned hence
fol tn TO that limbo reserved for such stor-
les upon men who are called on to bear
the burden Of unenviable conspicuity.
No feeling which we have toward Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis is tinged with any shade Of
malice, and il was no disposition TO do him
injustice which led us TO publish an item Of
unpleasant news about him, which came
10 us apparently we'll authenticated. If
the story is founded in malice, as he as
serts, we have no part either in the fabri-
cation or the spirit which prompted it. 1t
is pity that some Of Mr.. Davis friends
and defenders are so much less judicious
than he is himself. He may well ask to
be delivered from such friends, for in
stance, as the Memphis Appeal. Such a
| dosonoo ae IL makes will only serve to
weaken the force of his denial. We have
no disposition to get into any argument
about it as the case stands, but il is proper
to state that we have no correspondent in
Memphis, as the appeal asserts. We do
not know any correspondent of the New
York Herald. We never derived any in
formation, directly or indirectly, from any
body connected with the New ork Her
aid. The article, which first appeared in
the local columns of this paper, was writ
ten in our Office by our regular city edi-
tor, the information embodied in II was
derived from a gentleman just from Men,
phis, and the article stated the source from
which that gentleman derived that infor-
nation. There was no need for the Ap-
peat TO have set up its man Of straw, its
suppositious Herald correspondent in or
der TO knock him down SO deity, and by
doing so it has only injured the man It
pretends to defend. 1t has made many
people say, notwithstanding his denial,
that it is very queer story.
