To As Editor u The National Rspsbiieas.
SIR: On the evening of the l4th inst. q rumor
reached me that was charged with forging the
name OF Josiah Venable to q document purport-
Ing TO eminate from him, declining to be = can
dliate for Legislative honors from the Twenty
second district. This rumor gained additional
circulation by the Chronicle publishing 1t In this
mornings issue. l have written letter to the
editor Of that paper In which the following Ian.
guagc Is used: 81 cmphatically deny having at
tached Mr.. Nenables name to tho document
above referred to. All know about the matter
Is that some Of Mr.. veImilions friends came to
me on the evening before election and stated
that they would bring influence TO bear on Mr..
Venabe to induce him to retire from the con
o test. "a, AMI .ney asked me draw up two letters
CANTOR Mr.. venable to sign In case he would
consent to withdraw. This I did thinking that
the parties were honest in the matter. When
the letter appeared next morning In the RErUB-
iicAk believed II was all right, but later In the
LAY ! asceItaned that the name OF Josiah l.
or consent. OF this part Of the transaction.
know nothing, and no one felt more morti.
ned than did when the unauthorized statement
more harm than good TO the cause that it was
intended TO serve. Had known that the letter
would be used In the manner IL was, should
the campaign Just closed worked with ali my
might for Nj. vermilon, knowing him 10 be
the regular Republican nominee, but did moth
ing dishonorable In his behalf, and believe he
knew nothing Of the dirty trick that was played
~ signing the letter above referred to, with Mr..
Venables name attached"
i will present the letter In person, when you
can see II I was the party VINO presented the
withdrawal card for publication, a have been
charged with doing and please state n 1t Is true
" false. as great injustice has been done me in
this matter.
Respectfully, CHARLEs L. JOYCE.
1--WE take pleasure In making . most positive
declaration that Mr.. Joyce Is not the person who
brought the forged letter to the once OF the
REruBLIcAS, and II gives US pleasure to print the
foregoing explanation OF the matter, which, in
our opinion, fully acqults him Of any dishonor-
fble connection with IT'D. REPUBLICAN,
A Growl From the PrIntins Once.
1oihs Editor ~ the National Republican!
SIN; Equality Of rights Is the cry all over this
free land Of ours, yet we md In some OF the
Government Departments (piaces where these
principles should be exempli1ed, systems Of
petty tyranny, the grinding down Of Anew and
the uplifting OF others by persons Of litifbrief
authority, that would grace the barba rio So |
In the Government printing once q system or
furloughing has for some time been carried to q |
considerable extent, necessary perhaps on ac- |
Of the "franking privilege" II all were fur |
loughed for limited time there could be no /
ground for complaint, or II It were one table or
so on, equazing the burden among the many, |
u would thus be light on all, and there could be
no inequality. Bat that few should be fur
longncd on every prctext, seemingly TO crafty |
me aniipalhy or petty spite OF some overseer
who has hyoriies to please aud his own ends to |
serve, while others doing precnely the same
work and under precisely the same clrcum-
stances are given full work and full pay the
whole year through, II manifestly unjust,
IL has been o principle Of the once for time
out OF mind that those known rs day workers are
the regular employees ~ the once, and should

tradistinctlon to those known - piece workers.
out Of seyenty-nye day workers there arc select
Cd six young ladies, always the safse, who At the
of every furlough are Invariably
sent home, while tho others are kept without
any apparent reason but the caprice OF The PARTY
In charge. There lies against them no charge Of
as both the quality and quantlty

II In not the fault OF the Government printer
who has repeatedly said that equality In this re.
