Mr. Editor to talk about trsaOhery aud dishonor to

Isit any wonder that the administration OF Gen.
Grant is under cloud in this city and State to-day
IA il any wonder that the who went to the front
for him IN 1868, furnishing the sinews of war and
taking the brunt of the battle, against him to-
dsyf Is it any wonder that the great Republican
rarty is divided. corrupted and distracted, where
Shoddy and Shavings" occupy the most promi-
oent positons under the Administration
Now. Mr. Editor, if 1 correctly understand the
meaning of the editorial paragraph quoted in the
beginning of this letter, you do not charge that
knew ANYTHING of the fact that the adavits against
this swindlng contractor were stolen from the
archives of the War Department. was not aware.
untll few days since, that the aforesaid afbdavlts
had been surreptitiously taken. Surely had no
interest in their destruction. Who hadf Clearly
Mr. Murphy, who feared their production before the
Senate of the United States. Fortunately, however,
the originals of the afdavits thus alleged to have
been stolen you have already published in your
paper. They speak for themselves. Now that the
charges are made distinctly, and that the persons
who make them on oath have at least some" stand
ing with THE TRIBUNE, MIR. Murphy should respond
70 them in different manner from that which he
attempted on Saturday.
Now, in conclusion, with respect to my attack
on the Republican candidate for Governor last Fall
for which both THE TRIBUNE and Mr.. Murphy brand
me as Infamous, have this much to say. Murphy
ought 10 be s last man to my course ia t'S
c6air-benuse in 1866, rhea he ,OGs supporting Hof
nor and Pr&yn, he called upon me repeatedly and in
sisted AGt ,oGs NY duty to give these papers for publ
cation to Mr.. Raymond Of The Times.
If had ever been corrupted by this man, or by
any other during my entire official career, you could
not Mr. Editor have forced me to come to the front
today as have. Very respectfully your obedient
.ervant ROBERT MURRAY.
