@WnNA sGuBERNA, Feb l0.-My Dear
Son My heart is broken and my eyes
are blind from tears while I am writing
this letter mayhap it is the last one l
shall ever write in this world. Was it
therefor that sent my child to America
that she there was to be murdered in
such terrible manner? l will not cast
any reproach npon thee, my dear son.
Thou hast acted as good son and broth
er when thou madest her cross tho ocean;
but all this would not have happened if
she had remained with me. But I shall
no longer modest thee with my clamor-
ings and my meanings. Done is done.
But thou must make sacred vow that
thou wilt not rcpose thee nor rest until
the murderer of my child be discovered,
convicted, and punished. Do not spare
any trouble; do not spare the money;
try everything possible in order to re.
venge thy sister for the awful crime that
is crying up to heaven. Do not rest un.
less thou canst assure me that the muir.
derer has been punished. -

This was the profit made by an indi-
vidual out Of fraudulent contract, which
should have been declared null and void.
Belknap tried to shield himself behind
the act Of Congress and the report of his
''commission.' But the act Of Congress
simply authorized him to settle the claim
"upon principles of equity" while the
fact is that he gave the government in.
terests no consideration whatever; and
his commission, in making two recon-
mendations utterly at variance with each
other, should have been ignored. The
fact is that he permitted the government
to be defrauded out Of nearly half mill
ion Of dollars in transaction where he
had full discretion to act; and, while it
was passed over at the time as ''mis.
take,' it has different look now that he
is self confessed bride taker. It is a
case which will we'll bear reopening and a
new investigation by Congress. unless the
Democratic majority in that body is de.
tered from it by the fact that it goes
back into Democratic administration OF
the government where the fraud origin
