SIR-,Havjng returned at a late hour last
night, i did not see the report of the meet
ing held at Odd Fellows Hall on Monday
last Gntil this morning.
In the New Orleans Times yOU are re
ported to have said that there was q bill on
the GOveTn0r's table awaiting his signature;
bill he would sign as soon as the $2500eO
was raised to pay him for doing It. They
called it the "fundiag bill"
In the,FepOrt of the same meeting by the

The Governor, Nr. Fellowes stated as a

Hon. H. c. .WarmOth, Governors Office DTyades
street.-the Orleans, Louisiana.
SIR-YOUr communication of the ninth
instant has this m0rlent been placed il my
hands, and hasteR to reply.
AS you quote the report Of my remarks
at the Odd Fellows Hall, last Monday
evening from the New Orleans Times and
Bee, i have, not been correctly reported.
The Bee Of Tuesday have not seen.
What L did say n a speech of half an
hour l cannot pretend to remember with
absolute certainty, nor do feel called upon
to give you, or aCy one, full report
thereof.
MyreeolIeotion, and in this / am borne
out by parties who gave strict attention TO
what did say. is, as to the funding bin,
''that l had. been informed that one OF the
presiding officers Oftke Legislature-which
Ldid nOt,knOw-had refused his signature
to the same until he was paid two hundred
Thousand dollars aE cash or secuFi-
ties for such signature, but that
thisyWOuld make no dIE Eerence, as Governor
WaEmOth, as soon as he returned-Or on
his FeturR-WOUld sign or approve the act
anyway, and that wCuld make the act
complete without the signature of the
other.
4stO the Ievee balr also, as l reoollect
| stated that 1.-THE payment of the levee
construction fuud tax of two mills, and the
leUees repair tax of two E1ills, amounting to
upward of 81; 100000 per annUm during the
next twenty-ORe years-in all over S2l, ,00O,-
009-vould be successfully resisted because,
among other reasons, it vas private act,
and its passage into a lew had been OBJ
tanned through bribery, and which fact
could be set upas a defense and established
by proof" Inspeaking .cf this act, fur
ther said ''that it had been stated that Gov
ernor Warmoth had received some 5000, GOO,
whether in stock of the company or how l
did not know" alluding to the Tines
and other newspaper reports of the eases
in court of Da PCnta and others. My back
was to the reporters as 1 stated the above.
To the extent above stated the reports a
the Times and Bee are correct; beyond this
they are. erroneous.

COMMENTS.

The evasive character of the above re-
plies in which Mr.. Fellows refuses to sus-
tain the charges made, according to the
plain to need other cOmmeAt than the fol
lowing. If Mr.. j. @ A. Fellows did u tier
such charges, directly or indirectly, he was
guilty of wanton, willful and malicious
falsehoOd If he did not he acts in the
most dastardly and cOwardly manner by
refusing due acknowledgement to one who,
through him, has been grossly maligne d.
With these two alternatives, | leave him

J. Q. A Fellows, Esq New Orleans Louisiana:
SIR-YOurs of the tenth instant has been
received, and noted. While gratiied to
learn that v0ur remarks with regard to my
self made in your speech at Odd Fellows
Hall we're enormously reported in all the
daily papers, you must yet be 8ware that
the impression still existing in the public
mind seriously impugns my Official conduct
and integrity.
This impression is also confirmed by your
Withholding the correction certainly due
Inder the circumstances for perl9d Of four
days. in the face of repeated personal de-
mands for proofs of the charges made upon
you by the press during that interval. I'm
der these circumstances you must recognize
the fact that your letter is not sufficiently
clear as to the trUthfulness of the reports to
relieve me Of the serious embarrassment
thus entailed, and / must now request at
your hands distinct and explicit statement
as to whether you charged me in the Odd
Fellows Hall speech with bribery, specii-
cally or otherwise, or whether you intelded
to create any such i'm mpression upon the pub
lie miDd.
Regretting the necessity, which only
sense Of public obligation and personal in
tegrity demands, have to request, in eol
elusion, an early and direct answer.
Very respectfully,

GATHERING "LORLs.,,

From the New Orleans Republican.
Col. Jack W tells a good story on a
! sergeant of his own regiment, the til
Texas cavalry, which occurred during the
late unpleasantness. Sergeant Wiley was
lank, gawky, but impulsive son Of the
wilds Of the Lone StaI State; worthless as a
soldier, and still worse as a non-commis-
stoned officer, he nevertheless was enabled
to maintain his grade, owing to a peculiar
tact which he possessed of procuring forage
when all others would fail.
One wet morning he appeared with a
long face before his COlOnels tent and
grumbled something against the Sergeant
Major of the regiment, and which Col. W
- finally understood to be a complaint
that Wiley had been put on picket duty
out Of his turn. The story seemed Sc
plausible when it was placed before the
Colonel, that the Sergeant Major was sum-
nfoned to the tent, and in a few minutes
it was agreed that an unintentiOnal III
Justice had been done to Wiley, and the
party separated. 49,
''Never mind, Wiley" said the Sergeant
major, as they walked together, "when
your turn comes again you shall be ex-
empted from duty" That's well enough, "
grUmbled Wiley, "but it mayn't be a wet
night"
"That does matter, Wiley" again said
the Sergeant-majOr. "When the war is
over, this little trial W ill be counted as an
other laurel for YOU"
Wiley left his superior, and for half an
hour after was noticed wandering about
alone, muttering something unintelligble.
At last Wiley made straight for the Colo
vrrifI,oI1f ov,octrC
phized him in a twangy voice: 'Kernel,n he
said, "What's lori ?"
ga what?" asked Col. W.
"a lori ?" again asked Wiley, in loud
er tone.
ga what?"
"What's lori ?" this time fairly Shrek
ed Wiley.
Col. w. was now nearly out Of patience,
ing as little informed as before on the
lori subject.
"Wiliey," said the Colonel, elf you will
only tell me who uttered that word in your
presence, and under what circumstances it
was uttered-if you tell me something that
occurred before or after it was ut
tered, l may be able to enlighten
you" Wiley then explained how it
was that the Sergean-majOr had spoke
OF his laurels. "Oh," said Col. W, Il
well you see, Wiley, when the
ancient Romans returned triumphant from
the wars their brOws were crowned with
leaves of laurel, which are Synonymous Of
glory" Wiley slowly crept away, apparently
the situation less than ever.
In due course of time, one dark, cold,
rainy night, while Wiley was snoring Wig
he was awakened from his sleep
and ordered to go on picket duty with a
squad of men. In few minutes he bad |
hitched up his clothes, and, rushing out of !
his tent, he yelled out frantically to his |
men, "Come on, boys, we are going after |

sENsterIous stabbtng.

At one O'Clock yesterday, says the Mem
phis appeal, June "A, a Stabbing difficulty
took place On Main street near Winchester,
which escaped the usually vigllant eyes Of
the police. A man Of respectable appear
ance was passing quietly along the sidewalk
and when in front of a saloon where a
number Of fellows were sitting. he inquired
The time Of day, one Of the sedentary party
said, 1t is time you were in bed.' This
reply hurt the feelings of the stran ger, who
remarked that having asked a legitimate
question in a gentlemanly way, he expected
to receive a gentlemanly reply. Words fol-
lowed words until the iEsolent party struck
the stranger, and fight ensued, during the
course of which one party stuck a knife in
the other party's side, broke the blade near
the hilt and left it in the flesh an inch or
two. This terminated the row. The par
ties were at once spirited away" 50 that in
half a minute not a sign Of disturbance
could be noticed.
