procure copies. He would have ex.

hopes OF procuring the letters or copies
OF them.
Deponent was informed In Deem
Der. 1871, from the statement OF Car
michael, that Greeley had promised
Carmichael the tone Of the Tribune
would be changed about the first Of
the year 1872; and the deponent, on
noticing, saw the change-which
statement of Carmichael deponent can
prove on competent testimony Of
public OFFICER.
Deponent further remembers that in
one of Greeley's letters Chase was
mentioned as now feeble and broken
dowr.
Deponent makes this statement on
his honor as citizen, and because he
believes the facts he has mentioned
should be exposed.

A SECOND CHALLENGE.
We had intended to make q review
Of the case We present to-day, but time
and space do not admit OF IL. We
think all doubters will concede that |
the case speaks for itself.
The responsibility for disproof IL
now placed. Small talk and halfway
denials are no longer in order. IfMr.
Greeley, or Seymour, or Hutchips IL
misrepresented, we invite him to APP
peal to the courts. Let him sue US for |
libel, or SANDER. We will undertake
to prove much better case than we
now present. ~ the case we have
made IL better than we promised.
