MRS. GEo. T. ANTHONY - 1Eaddge:.
Will you have the kindness to send me a
copy Of the loan commissioners memo
randum (your husband and myseIf), for
1859. received q letter from Mr.. An
thony, to-day, stating that he left it with
you with instructions 20 let me examine
it when called for it. As shall not be
home before election desire very much
that you viii send me q copy % the same.
Your husband wrote me from Rochester,
Pa, and said ne thought he should go to
New Orleans before he returned. Please

the writing aud figures that are on it.

truly your husbands friend and yours.
I. Z. G.. PErTMGILL.
Deponent proceeded diligently TO find
the correspondence in relation TO the
turning over of this said sum of $50 60
to Commissioner PettingiIl. 20 be by him
accounted for in the 6nal report which
was made By him, the deponent being
then resident OF the city OF New York.
Such records were found, placing it be-
you'd the possibility OF q doubt on the
part CT deponent, that the sum ia deficit,
viz; S359.6Q, was due from Mr.. PetsingiII,
and not himself 1.-THE deponenfl. Where
upon the said Commissioner PettingiEi
was so informed, and demand again made
upon him to make good the amount re-.
quired TO correct the eFroe.
Since that date, about June, 1866. de-
ponent has never heard one word about
the matter, and had every reason to be-
Iieve that IL had been settled by Commits
sioner Pettingiii as above stated. Depo-

tributions from me since the or
ganization of such firm. During
the war such property, real aud
personal, was sold at private sale,
after having been publicly advertis-
ed in the papers of the City of Roch-
ester and other places contiguous
thereto, aud the proceeds thereof
invested in United States bonds or
other securities, and this without
the Interference or protest of any
human being.
Some of these bonds were brought
to Kansas some months after came
here, and may have been in the
safe of ID. r. Anthoay, as my Office
was with hin, before being made q
special deposit in the First Nation
al Bank of LeaVenworth City,
where they remained until sold and
converted into same other property,
including a home in that city, and
other unfortunate investments.

guilty of some malfeasance, or
wrong, or dishonor in my military
record as Commander of the 18th
New York Independent Battery of
Light Artillery.
All such insinuations or charges
are msliciously false. There is
nothing in my life acts of which /
feel SO justly proud as my military
service in defense of my country.
In that position had the conf
dence and esteem of all men over
and under my command, except
such under me as sought TO eVade
their duty.
There was never q dollar that
came into my hands or uuder my
control, as contribution or company
funds, that was not paid out in the

was there ever thing done by me in

was not intended 10 promote its in

The first intimation received By
me that Hughes s. Lester held me
guilty Of Misrepresentation aud
wrong, was found in the complaint,
now published, served upon me in
Kansas in 1867.
Immediately upon such service l
went to Thomas p. Fenlon, an at
torney in the city of Leavenworth,
and stated to him the circumstan-
ces and facts, substantially as herein
recorded, and said to him that this
charge of misrepresentation was an
after thought, and used to force me
into settlement at the cost of my
friends. He was informed that
such form of action would be re-
sisted by me TO the last, and sue
cessfullY, too, and to this end he
was directed to make answer to
the complaint. He was also inform
ed that a suit for debt, simply,
would not be resisted, although the
claim In equity was due from 9TH
ers than me.
The commission to take the tes-
timony of Mr.. Halliday in New
York was arranged without my
knowledge never knew of the
existence of such q testimony or
any other evidence being taken in
the case until saw iJ published In
the Times.

the judgement was entered up by

attorneys.

stated, ! informed the attorneys. as

The "Peintures Marmoreennes. y

Our newspapers mention again an
American invention, as a novelty from
Europe. We clip the following item
from New York daily: "An extensive
branch of industry at present in France
is the manufacture OF peintures mar
neoreenneS, a new kind OF wall decoration
which has come into favor. 1t consists
of plate glass, the back surface being
painted in c0lors in imitation of lapis-
lazuli, jasper, onyx, or some other cost
ly stone. They are used like tiles, for
walls, wainscots, ornamental pave
ments, cabinet furniture, and the like."
This is the invention of Adolph Fisher,
OF New York, who had it on exhibition
at the fair OF the American Institute in
1872, and twas described in our Novem-
Der number for that year, under the
name OF Crystal Marble. 1t is bad
enough that American inventions should
be stolen by foreigners, or reinvented in
Europe, and there boasted about as
something new and original, but that
American editors ignore the merits OF
their own countrymen and help to blow
the trumpet of foreigners, is really too
bad Manufacture and Builder.
