The st. Louis Globe says: 1.-THE following
letter to St. Louis merchant from Mr.. j
II. Oglesby, formerly of this city, now 6
New Orleans banker, will be read with
interest, in view of the unseemly attack
made upon his character and reputation by
the Times, Of this city, because of state
ments made by him to the Louisiana inves
tigating committee. The Times, it will be
remembered. announced that Mr.. Oglesby
had been socially ostracised and financially
ruined on account of his political opinions,
and bestowed high praise upon those who
had visited these punishments upon him."
NEW ORLEANS, January, %, 1875.
MY DEAR SIK-Your friendly lines of the
nineteenth, inclOsing the slip from one of
your city papers, is this day to hand and
carefully observed. To say 1 am surprised
at the publication, would but family ex-
press my feelings. Let me say to you, and
other good friends in St. Louis, there is no
foundation in fact for the statements made,
and incline to think pure malice is at the
bottom.
NV term of Office as president OF the
Chamber OF Commerce expired on the
seventh OF December last, when formally
officer, having served out my third term,
intimating my purpose not to accept nom
inatiOn for reelection. This determination
l adhered to, notwithstanding efforts were
made to induce me to change my purpose.
am glad to be able to say to you that
the bank control lost but one depositor,
and that very small one. For the past
week deposits have steadily increased, and
are larger to-day than one week ago.
f1atter myself that l have not, to my
knowledge, lost one personal friend whose
esteem or friendship is worth having.
In conclusion, permit me to say, gave no
testimony in behalf of the Kellogg govern
ment, or any other. What said was not
correctly reported in our papers, and ex.
pressiOns l have no recollection of using
were imputed tO me. This l corrected. /
only answered the questions asked me. as
felt justified in doing from MY standpoint
OF knowledge. They were my opinions and
views, and given without any political sig
niilcance whatever. l take no part in poll
tics: have no personal or social relations
with partisans; seldom express opinions: |
don't pretend to understand the Louisiana
question:" don't believe anyone does.
My health did net give way under the
shock. as is stated; neither have been at
the point of death. Before / knew any
thing OF tho excitement certain interested
parties tried to fan into flame, l was
suddenly, Sunday. the third, attacked with
3 congestion of the liver and stomach,
and for several days suffered severely; but
1t no time IN danger, and, except for two
lays, was able to attend to NV duties.
am now fully recovered. The various
operations control move on as usual. and
feel satisfied time will remove any wrong
IMPRESSIONS that may now exist.
Yours truly, III. OGLESBY.
