THAT LETTER-Thc Republican papers
say that the Democrats stole General Kill
PATRICK's letter, and that there was nothing
in it anyhow; that all he said had been
given to the public in the newspapers long
ago. SO they admit not only that the letter
is genuine, but that its statements are true.
Now, let us read it again
"GRAND HOTEL, INDIANAPOLIS,
"August 81, 1876.
"Dear Sir.-I have Just finished tour Of
six counties in Indiana, and feeling that any
reliable information from this State will in
tcrest YOU, / write. In the first place, the
canvass is well conducted, the people are
enthusiastic and determined, and the old
aoar-spiru thoroughly aroused and il it
were not for one thing we could rest GER
tain OF victory in October. There is an In
dependent party in this State, confined. it is
true, to q few counties, but formidable,
and it will defeat General Harrison.
There is but one way to overcome
this movement. The leaders OF the indie
Dendcnts are poor, needy, and IN GeDt;
they must be Iccturcd, and documents be
placed in their hands, that they may be
convinced OF their folly. A bloody-Shirt
campaign aoiM money, and Indiana IS safe !;

done nothing for Indiana. Alone they are

less the National Committee wakes up and
does its duty to you, to the party, and the
! country. defeat is certain in October. l.
never in all my life felt so certain | was
doing my duty as in this contest; and my
desire for success, my dear sir, is my only
excuse for writing you. Your friend,

stairs Tor Mr.. II. M. Blount. of the Sub
Treasurer's Office. Poor Witty turned
pale, Tor hethought that the game was
up. The witness was sworn.

Oleson; with the confident toneiof a man
who knows just-how he stands.
A.-"Paylng teller in the Office OF the
Assistant Treasurer of the United

Q,-'Are you an expert in money!"

Q-"Look at that $40 bill and tell me
whether IL is good or bad"

rubbed Ills eyes, took it to the window,
turned 1t over, squlnted at it lengthwise
crosswise, and i'll all ways, aud replied,
"That is genuine bill, but it has been

Tnis' unexpected revelation had o

yirtuous by denouncing the Attorney
General for his promptitude In. ordering
the arrest Of Marsh They do not seem
to know that there is no other mode by
which his testimony could be absolutely
secured. Merely as witness the At
torney General could not cause his ar.
rest at this stage of the proceedings.
But once under arrest as an offender,
his presence as a witness is secured.
Whatever lenity may be shown him as an
inforrner, belongs to the Court that tries
him to say; not for the Attorney General
to show in advance. This attack upon
the Attorney General is therefore botn
weak and wicked. Had the Attorney
General connlved at, or by negligence
permitted, the escape Of Marsh, these
accusers would doubtless have been
even more malignant in their attacks.
And II it prove true, as now suspected,
that Marsh has actually escaped, they
will probably change front and denounee
the same officer for not having secured
his arrest. This whole matter is very
serious business; and it behooves the
public press to be both prudent and just

Row Man Was Charged with Pass
ing a Counterfeit Ten Dollar Bill
Which Turned Out to be Genuine.
[From the Chicago Journal

A man by the name OF Andrew Whitty
was before Commissioner Hoyne this
morning, charged with passing counter
felt money. In cases Of this kind it is
often very difficult to prove the defend
ants knowledge that the bill or bills were
counterfeit, and failing to do that the
case falls through. In this case, the
Government had the dead weod" on
Whitty from the start. The facts they
were all ready to prove were these;
Witty got somewhere q very greasy
looking $40. bill on the First National
Bank OF Buffalo. He went to one Henry
Msye told Meyer he had q eounterfeit
ten, aud the two put their heads together
At last Mayer paid Witty certain
amount on the bill. Then they got two
other men named Henry Powdermaker
and Charles Getz, and the four entered
| into a conspiracy to pass off the bill and
share the proceeds. Finally the gang
had q falling out in regard to the distri
button OF the profits, aud Meyer
sauealedn ON Whitty and had him al.
| rested. The three, Meyer, Powdermakel el
and Getz, were all present in Court thii
morning to swear against Whitty, ant

HIGH LIFE I'm WASHINGTON.
The Swell Ladies and Their Gorgeous Gems.
[From the Home Journal

[From the Home Journal
| At the Presidents reception and at
other places during the week perfect
Golconda OF the precious gems, and a
ship load OF the richest silks, velvets
and laces, have been untolded to our
view. Among the diamonds worthy
especial notice those OF Mrs. Justice
| Miller have been already mentioned.
| For several seasons she had the gratif-
cation ofknowing. that she possessed the
finest diamonds of any American lady in
| Washington society, with the exception
! possibly of Mrs. Fish, who never wears
| d great number at one time. Mrs.
| Bridges. the beautiful young wife OF the
Pennsylvania millionaire, Who was in
| Washington last winter, wore one OF the
most magnificent necklaces Of solitaire
diamonds ever seen, perhaps, upon any
lady in our country; with large solitaire
earrings to match. Among other of our
own ladies possessed OF these precious
gems, large and rich enough to represent
d fortune, ARE Mrs. John Y. New, of lndl-
ana, a gentle, modest, and altogether
charming lady; Madame Bouligny, one
ofour first society ladies', as wei as a
leader among our literati; Mrs. Grant
and her pretty daughter-in-law; Mis-.
Potter Palmer, OF Chicago, whose ex-
treme beauty needs no foreign aid of

the richest of gems, and velvets, and
laces; Mrs. Ronalds, OF New York, whose
diamonds are very noticeable; Madame
| Bergman, Madame the Baroness de
Oyerbeck, daughter of Mrs, Dahlgren,
and Madame Hegerman, the lovely
American bride Of The Danish Minister.

Madame Mantilla also wore exquisite
diamonds at the late Presidential levee
among which is bouquet de corsage al
delicate as gossamer, beaded with dew

where the opposite course didn't pay.
An application was made by the people

the Fourth of July, whereupon the Sec
retary refuses and writes, saying: II
