MISREPRESENTATION.

We learn that President Johnson in his
speech at Chattanooga, on Sunday, repeat
ed the charge he made some time ago, that
ex-Attorney General Hoar had made Pres
identr Grant present of valuable library.
After he first made the charge, Mr.. Hoar
wrote to him as follows:
CONCORD, MASS, Aug. %. .1S72.-To
Hon. Andrew Johnson, Nashville, Tenn. !:
SRA friend of mine in Nashville sends
me a copy of the Nashville Union ana
american of Aug. 49,, containing what
purports to be speech of yours, delivered
in that city on the 18th, with this passage
marked: "Also library of great value
from Mr.. Hoar, of Boston, upon whom he
bestowed the appointment of Attorney
General.n It occurs among the enumera-
ton of gifts accepted by President Grant
in return for which tits charged that Of
fees were conferred, zoo ars.
a You have been misinformed on this sub
iect, as the statement is utterly untrue. 1
neUer made Gen. Grant q gift Of any KIND
or description IN n1y life, directly or tndt-
Irectky. The first utterer of the story fabrl-
Gated it. When Gen. Grant first visited
Boston after the close of the was, he was
welcomed with the repect and gratitude OF
our whole community, who sought Tor
ieVeFy proper Way VI CO pressing SAN
Gngs. He was introduced, among others,
Ito some of our foremost scholars and au-
Ithors, and the idea was suggested by some
l)ne that it would be a graceful clVillty 10
send him copy of their works. A SUBJ
cription for this purpose was MADE py a
considerable number of our best cltlZens,
md the subscription was SO large that
ome other books were added-perhaps
more than was originally intended,
I think the giving was honorable ana
tie receiving was something which coulu
not be helped without being churlish or
ulkind. / should have been glad to have
tie means to join in making the gilt, but
I did not have them. There is as little
Truth in many of the other stories told by
tie traducers, but it is not my special duty
to contradict them. az, ~
NY addressing you this note, though I'M
known to you, will, 1 presume, be JUSTIFIED
| by your personal reference to me, ana 1
am, sir, your obedient servant.
| E. r. HoAR.
After this very positive denial, we had
supposed the false charge would not be re-
| peated, but in this we were mistaken. The
whole story is fabrication, without foun-
datien i'm fact, and its reiteration by every
Greeleyite and Democratic stump-speaker
in the United States would not make 1T
true. We print this letter in order to show
something of the character of charges
manufactured to order in this campaign,
and SO if the story is again repeated, our
Irfends may brand 1t as false,

Coles whsle-Barnum's Mermaid Eclipsed
" Methinks it is a whall
Very like a whale"


Several days since we noticed a paragraph
from Norfolk paper, stating that the whale
advertised for Coles Museum, Menagerie and
Circus had arrived at that port per steam
er. The leviathan was described as being of
huge proportions, made of canvas painted
black with the fukes artistically appended bv a
master builder, supposed to be an apprentice of
the maker of Barnums mermaid. Well, the
whale arrived in this city on Saturday night. nv
rail from Bristol. He was not sporting in min
iature ocean of the briny element, but placed in
q wagon on q common freight car.
The boys found out that the monster was here
and went down to the depot in squads, perhaps
expecting to see the monster gamboling in the
flag pond, but they didn't "There was a fish
and his name was whale--he swallowed Jonah
head and tail" The urchins would cheerfully
have furnished Jonah for the occasion, but ht
couldn't take him in. The skeleton of Mr.
Coles whale is a wooden frame work, the cuti
Gle being of painted canvass and the epidermit
of some material resembling oil-cloth or paper
The teeth are of wood painted white and the
tongue of red cloth. The design is a fraud or
the public, and the execution is so poor that il
would not deceive any one, except blind man.
