Letter from Edward A. Jeweti.
CHICAGO, H., Dec. ID, 1873.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. ID, lo'"
Editor Free Press and Times:
SIR-My attention has just been called to
two articles in the St. Adams Messenger. re-
lating to the alleged defalcation of Collector
A. j. Crane
Ii is with the utmost surprise and m
dignation that | learn that Mr. Crane
accuses me of having embezzled the funds
of the government.
When left his employment, almost two
and half years ago, the books of the Office
were correct, and if they have been tamper-
ed with, as the Messenger article states
they were, it is something | know nothing
about.
deny The charge of having in any icay ap-
prOpriated to my own use any Of the GOV
ernment funds.
shall leave for Vermont at the earliest
moment possible. and shall insist upon a
full and thorough investigation Of the
charges made against me.
was in Burlington during the last ten
days of October and was guest of the
American Hotel (of which Mr. Crane was
one of the proprietors) during my stay, and
! am somewhat at a loss to understand why,
II he considered me guilty, he did not then
and there have measures taken to at least
investigate the whole matter, 50 far a. Twas
concerned for one of the articles alluded
to, states that he was, at that time, aware
Of the trouble with his accounts.
Please give this place in your columns,
in Justice to myself and friends.
Respectfully, EDWARD A. JEWEIr.
The above letter. mailed ON the lth inst,
was received by us last evening. 1t is. as
will be seen, in the main, simply an am
plifcation of the denial of the charge
brought against him, and expression of de-
sire for an investigation. already copied by
Us, from private letter 1t seems neces-
sary for Us to say in reference to an allusion
above, that Deputy Commissioner Rogers,
Of Washington, who seems to us to be
careful and candid gentleman, and who, as
We are informed, is an experienced and
skiliul accountant, and who has given a
number Of days to an extended Oyerhauling
ofthe books of Collector Cranes oihce-has
stated to Us very emphatically, that he
could discover not the slightest ground for
the assertion of the st. Adams MESSENGER
that the books ''show signs Of having been
tempered with since the original entries
were made" The books, Mr. Rogers says,
were handsomely kept, are in fair and
handsome shape now. and show no signs of
any alterations or erasures. IL they were
correct, as Mr. Jewett states, when he
left the Office, then we must express surprise
that Mr.. Jewett is not already on the spot ,
to press the investigation which he invites.

Brother Martin was hest described,
he said, like one Of the early disciples. as
- good man and full of the Holy Ghost.
and Of Faith" His goodness was positive.

right manhood. Integrity was written
upon his life. Yet his manly virtues were
cast in mould of gentleness Kindness
and goodwill, ever eyidencing heart full
Of heneyolenee, hand open and free, a
word without hypocrisy OF guile. He was
eminently religious man. The genuine
ness Of his piety impressed all 1t was not
put on like garment but was inwrought
spontaneous, and his religion was eminent
~ Christian. centring on the power and
grace of the Son Of God. To have known
such a man was occasion for heartfelt
gratitude There was nothing about him
we would be glad to forget. The longer we
knew him. the higher our confidence in his
integrity. To know even one such man is
inspiring, for it proves that our ideal Of the
good man Is not 4 myth it enlarges our
confidence in human nature. and in the
Gospel. Prof. Petty added other words of
