tras the hrothsr-ir,-toW OF Senator .ScitDrE,
bstnty position solely on dccoHntof such re-
'ditons'lip. This last assertion1 $ easily proven.
The New York Times will certainly not
maintain that WIS removed because j de-
lined TO listen TO the Presidents brother.
No enc can assert successfully that was de-
apiated for ineiiicicncy, for the annual re-
port of the Filth Auditor Of the Treasury.
# the year 1870, shows, as 4 matter OF
record, that the Chicago district was held to
be the best in the Union rs regarded increase

economy in making them.
COLONEL JUssEN's SUCCESSOR.
Another possible explanation namely,
Itlat | WIS removed because my successor
was and is editor-iu-c!licf Of the Illinois
Stats Zcitn,,J, an Influential German news
paper in Chicago, and is eXpcctcdto support
he President for denomination, l discard,
!or the reason that it would be unjust to pre-
,clne that President Grant would stoop to
sucli means 70 further his personal prospects.
Il remains. therefore, only 10 assume that
Inc position Of Senator Scliu!Z had be-
come so dangerous 10 that Administration.
II which alone lin the opinion Of its friends
depends the present aud future safety of the
republic, that it became Incompatible With
the public interest TO retain a relation of the
Missouri hereto in Office. The New York
Tines, from its peculiar standpoint, will not
lind it difficult to look upon this cause of re-
!noval Is fully consistent with the dignity OF
tlic Chief 1Irgi=tlutc Of Il great nation.
COLONEL JuSsEH's CONVERSATION WITHHELD.
Bit one more feature OF my official expert
cnce remains t. lie disclosed. The Govern
ment still owes me. after have been out Of
Vi;ica ncarlya year, several thousand dollars,
and witihoGS payment on the l!inlSicst red
tape prctcEt imaginable. In the summer OF
1870 the diStiIcry of E:Ss Il Powell, and sew
clsll hundred barrel. Of high wines contained
in their bonded warehouse, were destroyed
by tire; and, although the Department nd
int5 that il has 10 claim against the dlstllcrs
ioi' tie tax upon the wine, thus destroyed, ii
has, up 10 tits time, insisted that this tax
must stand Charged against me until the dis
tI!crS are released by net OF Congress. This
is the reason, and the only reason, given for
withholding the amount justly due me.
Another reason reaches ne from another
source. \ friend, who has been kind enough
TO look after my interest in Washington,
writes ne: . Your matter must 90 to Con-
}, 4
amita,ion were st the bottom OF the sea, be-
a,t<r you are identified with SchurZ Ly the
administration Ring" sc.
etlc.I motives OF DELAY in paying a just
claim would he 4 sad commentary upon amy
Government. Undcr republican institutions
the in>inuation seems simply absurd and il
credible, Ii, however, the opinion Of my
informant Is we'll founded, it is not impossi-
bic thai this exposition OF: my official cXpe-
Renee will stretch tie red-tape to an intcrmi-
nabIc length. Wen, German patience is pro-
verbal. Though have great need OF the
amount due me by the Government, as al
my property was swept away by the Chicago
fire excepting only The snail sCn which cna
blcs me to remain Il few months in Europe
in search Of NY health Cost in the service OF
the country, trust that, on my return,
will command enough q tie Chicago spirit
to commence again. chccr!uly and hopefully
at the bottom. Very respectfully,
EDMuSD JuSSES.
