his Version Of the Assault on Theo. Gregg.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. II, 1875.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: In your issue of the 18th instant, under
the head of Model Waterman" &C., in regard
to the assault on Theodore Gregg, the statement
is made that was under the influence Of H.
quor;" that I FUSED insulting language to the
women who were clearing the building;" that
1 struck q murderOus blow at Mr.. Gregg with q
heavily loaded cane" &c. This statement is false
in every particular, and hope you will do me
the justice TO correct it, and publish the truth,
which allege to be as follows was not under
the influence Of liquor. did not use insulting
language to any one. did not strike Mr.. Gregg
a murderous blow with a loaded cane, and on my
trial before tie Police Court there was not sim
gle word Of testimony to prove any of the charges
which have here denied. The truth is that, un-
fortunately for Mr.. Gregg and perhaps for my
self, l accidentally came in possession Of facts
concerning the conduct of Mr.. Gregg and certain
women, which facts he would not like to be made
public, and for this he has prosecuted me, as be-
lieye, with a view to secure my removal from
Office, and when could no lenger endure his in
suits, simply gave him the thrsshing he de-
served with an ordinary walking stick. He at the
time was an able-bodied man, armed with q re-
volver, and a ne-armed ex-soldIer, armed with
only. my walking stick. Very respectfully,
JOHN BRTEN,

FIR. Robinson Cream of Lilies.

Among the many hygienic articles that are
constantly brought to the attention Of the public
there is one that has established its efficacy, both
In this country. and abroad, and doubtless ere
long willabe Acknowledgements an Indispensable
necessity in every home of our land. Acting like
. charm upon the afflicted, the weary and those
nervously inclined, the Cream of Lilies has re-
stored invalds to their long-lo health, soothed
the aching brow, and given comfort to the
troubled mind by It's sedative and healing quail
ties. Composed of simple ingredients, and war
ranted against any possible danger or harm, even
able and desirable to purchasers-it being in the
hands Of little child perfectly safe article 1t
seems to reach the seat Of every ailment, pene-
tratipg far beneath the surface of the skin to the
very bone or cartilage, and, whilst few applica-
tons have tested its virtues, single trial In
many instances has been alLsuthcient. Its very
appearance Is in its favor, being pure as the lily
itself, and with very delicate and scarcely per-
ceptble fragrance that dissipates at once the idea
of strong, Injurious perfumes and ingredients,
which, while they tempt the buyer, often produce
deleterious effects through constant use.
For dressing the hair and relieving the head Of
Of fever and any qneomfortable sensation Il is
mental exertion or stomach arrangement, tt
works equal good; and after ongye2rs Of falling
of of the hair or the loss of vitality, the use Of
the Cream of Lilies has given instead q fresh,
vigorous growth, and q soil, healthy appearance.
The rheumatic and neuralgia sufferer has blessed
the hand of the inventor when the Cream has re-
stored to him the strength and use Of his limbs.
The consumptfve has found relief IN bathing the
chest, and protecting the well rubbed parts after
wards with q covering Of oiled silk. In cases Of
Group, diphtheria. sore throat and heart disease,
similar treatment has been resorted to with COM
plete success. The paralytic stroke ha. lost half
its destroying power by prompt use OF the Cream,
and other evils equally alarming have quickly
yielded to the magic ointment. We might en-
numerste a long list Of bodily ailments which re-
quire only a short trial of this really valuable
boon to deprive them Of a name, and bring
health and happiness to the afflicted, but our
ccmmepdatiou Is more of q Samaritan word OF
advice to the public, who can by this easy and
inexpensive means be good physicians both to
their own households and their neighbors.

Comments on Mis-, stautOu,s L.ttsr

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: have read with great interest Miss ate
Stsnton's letter and the editorial comments
thereon in your paper. She ssems to have hit the
nail on the head.
You remark that the proposition is practical 'ff
some one will but take the initiatory steps," i
consider it an easy matter to secure such con-
vention as the lady so sensibly proposes For in
stance, let the venerable Peter Cooper invite the
persons whom Miss Stanton dominates to meet
him In New York or Philadelphia for the pro-
posed conference. 1t is to be presumed that In
the present disastrous condition Of the country
they would be glad to respond. Or let ex-Treas-
urer Spinner, or Carl Schurz, (who is soon to re-
turn from Europe, l belieye,) or Mr. Henry q.
Gary do so, and the thing would be done.
But take occasion to demand fmore light"
Miss Stanton speaks of q "specihcslly-based cur.
rency," and among questions to be considered
asks, SHOULD money represent general or specific
values?" These are new terms to me, and pre-
sumo TO many others.
VIII you please inform US, or ask Miss Stanton
TO DO so, what the words specifically" and "spe-
cine" imply In this connection? Everybody wants
Light nowadays on the currency question.
Yours, respectfully,

Conspiracy to Break Up the Terra-Cotts
Works.
Mr.. Enoch 4. Totten and Messrs. Paine and
Grafton brought suits yesterday against certain
firms IN this city which bill fair to make in the
evidence some very Interesting reading, and to
result in some wholesoms essons to those who
seek, by unlawful combinations, 10 interfere with
and interrupt others in the pursuit Of legitimate
business. Not long since, and within the city
limits, Mr.. John Lynch, Of Maine, formerly .
member of Congress from that State, established
EXTENSIVE works for the manufacture of terra-cot-
Ia esIthen ware, sewer and gsspipes, IRE brick,
&C., SC. About a year ago the. Institution got
into good working order, and some time in March
formed q union for what they called mutual pro-
lection. They then waited upoR Mr.. Lynch and
informed him that they did not wish him to un-
dersell them. He said he had no disposition to
do a retail trade, and wished to contne himself
entirely to q wholesale one. Under this arrange
ment all went on smoothly until about the mid
die OF last August, at which time Mr.. Lyncn
was notified by the Union that he must not sell
his wares to A. r. Shepherd Co., as that nrm
did not belong to the Union. Mr.. Lynch was
astounded at this unwzrrantable aud impertinent
interference with his affairs, and very plainly
told them that he could not and would not sub
NIT to dictation from any quarter concerning the
The Union then passed resolutions prohibiting
its members from buying wares from Mr.. Lynch.
AT this time the Terra-Cotts Company was doing
q business with them of $500 to sl 500 per month.
He was not disposed to stand this without striking
back, and accordingly, as stated above, Mr.. Tot
ten and Messrs. Paine Grafton brought suits
yesterday against Charles b. Pierson, james
Raglan and Eugene A. Ridgewsy, T. V. N0onan,
George A. COurtenay and A. 5. Dent, Daniel
Hartman, Charles G. Thorn and Patrick J. Burke,
gas,titters and plumbers, for an unlawful comoi-
nation and for q conspiracy TO break up and de-
stroy the business of the Terra-COtta Company,
and the damages are laid at SIS 200 in each case.
The suits will have to be defended, and they Will
bring out in addition to the testimony, the inter-
esting law on this subject.
