conversation convinced me that his state
| ment was more freely made than it would
have been to others, and that he was only
actuated by oesign to retaliate upon Sen
ator Carpenter, and seemed to rejoice that
he had inflicted injury upon the character
of Senator Carpenter without regard to
what the facts might be.
l make this statement as q matter of ius-
tice, both to the lady injured and Senator
Carpenter. Very truly yours.
D. w. BLISS.
These letters not only refute the charges
made against Senator Carpenter, ,sbur show
that they have been inspired by personal
malice. We have before us a letter written
by United States Senator, in which he
says that he was at Long Branch the day
after Mr.. Carpenter was there, and that he
room at the West End Hotel, for the reason
that there was not vacant room in the
house, and he adds:
DECATUR, Ala, September ii, 1873.
MY DEAR SENATOR Il 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 York Ifi-
6nte concerning your visit there. l went
to the West End Hotel and was told by the
clerk that there was not a vacant room in
the house and had not been for several
days; that they had been compelled to re-
tuse many persons.
l saw the Tribune correspondent Mr..
Ramsdell) few moments afterward, aud,
referring to the telegram in the Tribune, l
asked him what it meant. and whether there
was any truth in it. He adDitted to me
that there was no truth whatever in what
would be implied from the telegram. l
afterward talked to the room clerk upon
the same subject, and he told me you were
refused room only because every one in
the house was occupied.
am very sincerely yours,
GEORGE E. SPENCER.
Hon. Matt H. Carpenter, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
We think there is quite proof enough here
that the Tribune has once more been atits
old games by inventing dastardly SANDER
concerning him. What can people think,
after reading the above letters, of Rams
dell and his precious ''editor7'
