SENATOR CARPENTER.
From the New York Times.1


gard to the SANDER set on foot against
him by an enemy last Summer. He could
scarcely bring libel suit in which the
only issue would be In regard 70 the
character of lady. This difficulty was
doubtless we'll considered beforehand by
the correspondent OF the tribune, man
named RAM'DELL, who concocted the Or
iginal Islander, and by his "oditOr," whs
repaats it with the full knowledge that it
is false.
We have refraiued frona commenting
apou this affair, Believing that after the
slaAdsr had had it's run, it would die and
be forgotten. But the hAbituAl Slandersr
of the Tribune seems to be determined to
"havs it CUT with Senator CARrENTAR,
who happened to get a 7Tj6nno ceres
pondsnt locked up a year or two age.
Fot this the sO--called editor of the Trt-
6une has sworn q deadly revenge. He and
his correspondent have therefore, we re-
peat, deliberately invented a disguating
calumuy about Senator CARPENTER-a
calu mny II the kind which every Man
finds it hard to meet, because no cannot
meet it without calling A,lady into pab-
lie controversy. ThiS fact was duly cal
culRted on by the person at the Trtbuuc;
We all rsmsmb Der how clever and brave he
was in alta cking the Prssidsnt'S wife and
children. He ia capable of iRventing any
vile SANDER, as the columns Of his journal
in the past fully prove. The stSry about
Senator CARPENTER IL Matched solely in
his own imagination. 80 wc expect to
prove to tho satisfaction of every inteli-
gsat man in the country.
The true facts have been kaswn to u.s.
for asme time. The husband of the lady
who for very natural reasons, desires net
to bring his wifs's nARe before the pub
lie, and therefore does not wish to dab
lish anything under his own signature,
some tine since called on and informed VA
that the charge was utterly false, and re-
qussted US, liz case the SANDER was kept
up, to publish q statement sfthe facts. It
10 AoL business we care to &c into-it
suits the Tribune ScandalmoAgers nuch
better. But we will relate the facts, and
then we will deal en- another occasion
with Senator Carpenters assAilant.
Mr.. CARPENTER weAt, during the sum =
mer, to Lsng Branch, having al appoint
msnt with the President on business. He
was accompanied by the lady in question,
who was put in his charge by her hus-
band Arriving there about ia the AZ

End Hotel and applied for rOsmS,aRd was
infsrmed by the clerk that there was not
a vacant room in the house, AHd had not
been for several days. The clerk and
Mr.. CARPENTER were we'll acquainted
the clerk having been formerly in Will
lard's Herel, Warrington, where Mr. CAR
PEWTER and his fAaily had boarded two
years. The clerk gave Mr.. CARPENTER q
note Of introduction 30 the Ocean House
RAd he went there and obtained room
fer the lady and ono for himself. At 7
o'clock he took tea 1t the President's,an
spent the evening with President GRANT
until about 9;3e. He taen returned to
the hotel; whore several gentlemen called
On him, in whose company he remained
until absut II o'clock, and returned to
Nav York the next morning.
RAMsDELL-a correspondent Of the

years ago by the Senate on Mr.. CARPEN-
