MALIGNITY AND FALSE
HOOD UNMASKED.

The National Republican of Friday
afternoon contains a "commuuica-
ted" article in which it is said that
Senator Ingraham desires it to be
made known that he voted as a col
ored man against Mr.. Pinchback,
because of the contempt and deris-
ion which the latter has shown to
the memory and family of Governor
Dunn"
It is lamentable that this self
constituted champion and avenSer
of the honor and dignity of the
memory and family" did not think
it necessary to support this vague
and uncertain testimony, these
groundless and indicative charges,
| with some specific allegations As
he has omitted this necessary per-
Torrance We will supply it and
adduce what we know occurred on
the melancholy occasion of Mr..
Dunn's illness and death. As soon
as Mr.. Pinchback learned of Mr..
lDunn's illness he betrayed an earn
est solicitude, and in company with
another gentleman and ourself hur-
ried 10 his residence to ascertain
the real condition of the sufferer.
Mr.. Pinchback's sympathies and
regret were Immediately enlisted
and expressed, and every utterance
OF his impressed the observer Of his
conduct or the listener to his
language of the earnestness of his
sorrow at the threatened catas-
trophe. Indeed SO great did his
interest in the case of Mr.. Dunn
show itself that he was unwilling to
believe even the decision of the
medical men, that the case was
hopeless.
When death snatched Mr.. Dunn
away, Mr. Piachback with Senators
jerks, Harris, Barber and others
constituted Senator Barber a com.
inittee of one to place at the dis
posal OF the family and friends Of the
deceased, TIE services of the gentle
men named to any extent or iu any
capacity required.
On the day of the funeral, Mr.
Pinchback was early at the house
of mourning, and observed with
what scrupulous exactness and pre-
cision he was passed over by ever
agent employed by those officiating
at the obsequies, while men VII,
scarcely knew Mr.. Dunn were dig
niGed with the badges Of "chit
S mourDers," or assigned to the posi-
ton of rail bearers" He saw

and he fled the spot where sucl
heartless manifestations over tn
dead, were made to blend horribl
with ostentatious mourning an
hellish malignity, and sought refug
