DOM Pnrr AND SENATOR J6NEs.

Afsw days. ago with its characteristics
hatred Of all opponents to sutro's tun-
nal swindle. his 'organ" in Virginia
City made the malicious and unsup-
ported statement that the great speech
Of Senator Jsnss upon the Currency
bill last Winter. was the composition Of
Dom Piatt OF the Washington Capital,
and that Mr.. Jones had been crsmmed
and coached" for the occasion. Ts
all who have read the speech referred
to, and are moreover familiar with Sen
ator Jones. the Dspendsafs FLANDERS
passed for naught. The New York Sun,
however, always ready TO hound every
man who refuses to be guided by its
iconoclastic counsel. and which has,
since Mr.. Jones election, systematic
sally villifsd him, eagerly seized upon
and copied the article in question.
Dom Piatt, at the time Of its publica-
ton. was away in the mountains for q
rest, and only returned to civilization .
few days since. Seeing the article in
tbs Sun. he inditsd the following epistls
to that journal. II sffsctually puts a
quietus on the Dependents Islander and
proves II to be what We have often
charged, a wilful and malicious falsi-
flyer. Here Is the letter:
To the Editor Of the Sm-Sir: /
sought this quiet retreat in the noun
tains early this last Summer to escape
the heats Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in
tolsrabls by the absence Of the Govern
ment and the removal Of hogs, dogs,
goats, and cow from the streets by the
Board OF Health. The National Capital
was at ence . desert and an oven. Be-
ing out Of the world I did not recsivs
your issue OF Sept. 8 until to-day.
hasten to congratulate your resders
upon the acquisition Of . new joke.
That concerning the "truly good Rich
ard Smith and his wicked partners we
have laughed at 10! these many years.
It is good. very good, but now lacks
somewhat OF freshness. The new one
anent my being Senator Jones' financial
brain is novel and happy. That your
readers may appreciate the point and see
what q sweet Joke 1t 10, permit me to say
that I did net know Senator Jones per-
sonally until his very happy effort on
currency called attention to him as Q
man worth studying. i found, 10 my
Amusement, q rich man possessed OF =
mind not only vigorous and original, but
strengthened by vast stores OF Informs
ton gathered from the hard experience
Of q busy life among men and through a
study Of books.
Should it cone happily in your way,
and you have the time to spare. i would
advise you to take from time TO timo a
few lessons in political economy from
Senator Jones.
To give our new joke . better setting,
would 1t not be well TO say every morn
ing that l am the brain Of Jones, Jones
Is the brain OF Grant, Grant the brain Of
Babcock?
/ trust there il nothing in this to mill
tate against my business OF furnishing
rsady-mads speeches to members Of
Congress. 1t is well known that ] keep
on hand q large supply Mt the lowest
rates. I AIN not, as you intimate, e1-
travsgant in my charges. Why do you
seek to deprive labor OF its just rewardl
Let me advertise -Congressmen coached
and speeches made on all sides at the
shortest notice and on tho most rsason-
able terms. Agricultural reports and
Congressional records taken in part pay
ment, by Yours, sincerely,
DoSS PIArr.
