To WILLIAM F. HAvEMEYER, Mayor Of the Cay Of Es0'

SIR: On the 18th of September last q letter
from you was published the newspapers Of the city,
liz which you endeavor to relieve yourself from the
severe and merired censure passed upon you by the
Governor for your improper conduct In ofice by
casting Wholesale aspersons upon all who have been 10
any way concerned complainant. counsel or witness.
In the proceeding against yourself or against tn" con-
yicted Police Commissioners (Which you seen to gard
also as directed against YOURSELF and assert that the
whole matter has sprung from my personal enmity
to you, and that I am - very dlshoness
man." possessing Gan audacity born OF low
beginning" and having the vindctive feelings OF men
of your my class" With those who know me no asser-
ton that you can make, and particularly nothing that
you may say in the disgraced position you now occupy
before the public, will affect my character Yet the
charges you make are so grave particularly when made
over the signature Of the Mayor OF this great city, that
feel imperatiyely called upon make reply for the
purpose OF yindcatng ysef before such Of the public
as may not know personally, an earlier date than
the slow progress Of the law will allow.
Passing by for the present the various personal 'nnu
endoes and aspersous with which your letter Is filled,
your first grave charge against me Is that "bave de-
frauded this city and county out Of large sums OF
money and have been guilty OF crime that is ade-
auately described by the term feonious."

JOHN KELLY'S DEFENSE.

A REPLY TO THE MAYOR POINT BY POINT.
TRANSPORTATION OF PRISONERS AND DRAWING
OF JURY PANELS FIXED BY LAW AND NOT Ex-
ORBITANr-THE MAYOR CHARGED WITH MIS-
REPRESENTATION AND THE GARBLING or RE-
PORrs-THE MAYOR AND Mr.. WATERBURY TO BE
SUED FOR LIBEL.
The reply of ex-Sherif John Kelly 10 the charges
of wrong. doing made against him in the
open Letter Of Mayor Havemeyer will DO
found below. Dir. Kelly replies to all OF
the Mayors charges. and denies without
qualification every charge brought against him.
The reply contains many tables of figures showing
the details of the business OF the Sherifs
office and is fortified by a certificate OF the
Secretary of State as to the transcripts Of con-
victions reported by Mr.. Kelly while Sheriff.
The affidavit of Sheriff Conner is also submitted,
showing large deficiency in the receipts as COM
pared with the expenses in the general business OF
the Office, and confirming Mr.. Kelly's statement
in this particular This will be a sur
prise to many persons who have here
tofore believed the Sheriff's office to be
mine of wealth to its fortunate incumbent. The
fees for records of convictions conveyance OF prs
oners to the iails drawing panels Of jurors serving
election notices, &c, not included in the ordi-
nary business of the Office, are claimed
by Mr. Kelly to have been fixed by
law, and to have been moderate charges in
view of the great responsibility of the Sheriff.
Mr. Kelly sharply criticises the Mayor for many OF
his assertions and charges him with unfairness as
well as Misrepresentation He puts his own tables
of figures against those of the Mayor and claims that
in every instance the Mayor has been
in error. He charges the Mayor with
intentional deception in publishing state
ments purporting to be from the official records,
which were in point of fact incorrect and garbled.
Finally he informs the Mayor and Nelson j. Water
bury that his counsel preparing the papers for
libel suit and that he will hold further commune
cation with them until he meets them in court.

We suppose il is generally known
that the railroads are now carving
free all donations for the needy in
the West, whether sent in small or
large quantities, with the single sim
pie condition that the goods must be
sent to the officers of the State or
Territorial Relief Committees, who
are of course men well known. This
provision is obviously necessary to
protect the companies from all sorts
of impositions ;and it must be plain to
all that in making such an extensive
and expensive contribution to char
table object, they should be pro-
tec,ed so far as practicable. Were
it not for these same roads, and their
prompt and kindly action in the pre-
misses, the destitute in the far west
might perish while the grain rotted
in eastern cribs, no matter how will

section might be. In this connec-

HENRY CLAY DEAN.-As stated
last week, this distinguished West
ern orator will lecture at the Cry
Hall, in Upton, on Thursday evening,
December 3lst, 1874. Subject: "The
Causes of the Independence of the
American Colonies" Only last week
Mr.. Dean delivered this same lac,ure
at both Davenport and Muscatinc,
and we append brief extracts from
the lengthy notices given by the
local papers:
Mr.. Dean illustrated his meaning
with stories from history, brilliantly
told, bringing in philosophers, poets,
dramatists, statesmen, orators, and
even kings and queens to give evil
dence for hlm-until he came to the
condition of the British empire, to
the American revolution, into which
he entered, showing the character Of
the colonists, and their leaders, pic
turing Washington splendidly, and
so described the struggles and the
victory, closing with notice of the
progress Of the nation, and uttering
glorious promises as to the benefits
humanity at large will derive from
it. The lecture was splendid in its
showing of the power of words

Whatever may be said of the man
of his adherence Of clean "biled
