A SLANDEROUS REPORT.

We copy the following from the Nash

that we were long ago in possession of
the slanderOus rumOr, but forbore to
publish it, on account of the high char
acter of the persons involved, and our

citizens, irrespective of party, took the
matter in hand and made a thorough
investigation. The result was a COM
plete refutation of the impUtatiOn and
a denunciation of the story as not only
false but without the slightest shadow of
foundation. The lady was the wife of
one of Mr.. Johnson's oldest and best
friends. In the language of a special
telegram to the Onion and american
announcing her death and burial: "The
funeral occurred at the Presbyterian
church, of which she had been a con-

CINCINNATI, May PA private let
/ ter dated March %, 1872, from Stanley
Matthews, having been published yes
terday morning, in which he says he
would be favorable 10 combining on the
simplest grounds all the elements of the
opposition, and concentrating their
united support on candidates of high
character who would redeem politics
from corruption and restore good gov
eminent; and that he would heartily
support Horace Greeley if he should be
considered the strongest man for the
race, Judge Matthews this morning pub
fishes a communication in the CONNER
cidl. After stating that he cares but
little for what would be said of the con-
sistency or inconsistency of his opinions
upon matters of expediency, he says:
There was a time when j felt willing
to sink every other question of public
policy in the greater one of elevating and
purifying tone and spirit of public life.
The success of such an effort depended
upon two things. First, in the nomina-
tiOn of a man whose character lifted
him above the level and beyond reach
of all the degrading influences of party
and personal politics. Second, in MAX
ing that nomination as a free, spontane-
Gus expression of the best public opinion,
without the trickeTy and bargaining and
manipulation by which nominating con-
ventiOns were usually made to subserve
personal ends. There was but one man,
in my opinion, who perfectly filled the
character of the required nominee that
was Charles Francis Adams. There
were some others that approXimated to
it; among them have no hesitation in
ranking Horace Greeley, so far as talent, !
high aims and personal purity of charac- |
ter are required, and had his nomination |
to the conditions ! have
l would not now be under the |
actual necessity of explaining a change of
views which your correspondent as |
sumes. But such was not the fact. The
was the result evidently of
bargains and intrigues, brought about by
professional politicians whose reputa-
tiOns are fly-blown, perverting the whole
purpose and work of the convention,
and reversing the original intent of its
call. Looking on these influences which
presided at the nomination as likely, in
case of success at the election, to survive
and dominate the actual administra-
ton, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion
that Reuben Fenton and Frank Blair,
and those of that ilk, are the gentlemen
10 whom we are asked to commit the
cause of political reform and of sound
government. have come, as yet, un-
der no such obligation as that. If |
