DEAR SIR In regard to the cHarges
against Senator Carpenter at Lug
Branch, the facts are simply these Mr
Carpenter came with several others, and
there was not a vacant room IN the house
L told him SO, and gave him note of in
PRODUCTION to the Ocean House. If the
President had called at the same time for
"A room, should have told him the same
thing. Mr.. Carpenter was neither intox-
icated, nor guilty of any improprieties
whatsoever.

Hon. T. o. Hotce.
DEAR SIR [ saw Mr.. Ramsdall. VIII >
teleghaphed to the New-York Trituae in
regard TO Senator Carpenters being
refused rooms at the West End Hotal
Long Branch, in June last, soon after
Mr.. Kamsdeli's return to Washington.
[ then informed Mr. Ramsdell that [ was
personally acquainted with the lady in
question, having attended her profession
ally on several occasions during the last
few years that he made great mistake
and done the lady a great wrong. He
replied, 81 don't care | h,re got ecen
,cith CurDenfrr" This he repeated, in
substance, several times during the con-
versation, leading me to understand that
he was only endeavorlng to punish Sen
ator Carpenter for his course as Chair
man of the Senate Committee in the mat
ter of the stolen treaty. Mr.. Ramsdell
was formerly my chief clerk at Armory
Square End Hospital during the late war,
and our relations have been and now are
intimate, and this conversation convin-
ced me that his statement VIZ smOre freely
made than it would have been t. others,
and that he was only actuated oy a de-
sign to retaliate upon Senator Carpenter,
ond seemed to r.joice that he hal Inflicted
in.ju1y upon the character of SeH"to~
CARPENTER scithout regdrd to aohat the
facts hiQht be
L
justice, both to the lady injured and
Senator Carpenter.
Very truly yours, D. W. Bliss.
These letters not only refute the char
ges made against Senator Carpenter, but
show that they have been inspired by
personal malice We have before us a
letter written by United States Sena-
tor, in which he says that he was at Long
Branch the day after Mr.. Carpenter was
there, and that he applied for and was
unable to room at the West End Hotel,
for the reason that there was not vacant
room IN the house, and he adds
DECATUR, Ala, Sept Ii, 1873.
My DEAR SENATOR L was at Long
Branch the day after you were there last
Summer, or, at all events, the day the
first telegram appeared in the New-YoIk
Titltne concerning your visit there. L
went to the "Weat End Hotel, aud was
told by the clerk that there was not q
vacant room III the house and had not
been for several days !; that they had been
compelled to refuse many persous.
/ saw the T't,#he correspondent MIR.
RamsdelD few moments afterwards,
and, referring to the kilograms in the
T. ibuDe, / asked him what it meant, and
whether there was any truth in it. He
admitted to me that there gas no trtttA
nHafecer az whpt tronid be- iapiipd from
he teIeqruus | afterwards talked with
the room clerk upon the same subject,
and he told me you were refused a room
only because every one in the house was
occupied
