scars With which the press have scared me in all
these years Of hitter conflict.
Up TO the time when ] bro ached the Beecher
business, the press of this city WAS opened to me
though being nearly as we'll informed, no other
sod dsfssded Nj H. Seeser. e houndn@ " on the
Government TO crush the out. Each per knows
how fouly was dealt with In that res peut; aud
that II had been supported as tho person i'm
whom the freedom OF the press was stricken
down. the Government OF the United Stoies
would have never dared to destroy NV business
aud break up my paper as 1t did. since, how
ever, this same press has bounded nc 10 jan,
and almost to the pentenu ~, WIS compelled
TO publish the same facts 10 N orc Objectionable
form, auh with still more revolving detail, II can
never forgive mo for having done me the oriEi-
nat injury. THIS sir, Is the black list upon which
the Enquirer places me; and this tho shame
with which my name is mentioned Ia polite So
ciety.
Perhaps the Enquirer does not know that dur
ing our trials In the courts, paid agents In the
Beecher interest traced us from our cradle up,
to faHten some deed upon us That might DC
shown In court to our disadvantage, ana falled
to find bemish even. All the vile insinua.
tiOns vanished In thin air In tue lying mouths OF
their inventors.
Without any exception. the article In question
Is, TO my mind, tue most brutal and malignant
one that ever appeared in print, Under all the
circumstances-that 1t was first brought to ana
denounced by me as wickedy false that tho
Inquirer was warned against Its publication;
that the Enquirer knew many OF its sta ements
were false (tnat 10 woman could NO before the
public, and on its rostruins speaking to the
thinking. educated masses, win from both press
and public the laurels ! have won); that tho
Enquirer Itself has heard me under circun-
stances that made the use OF my language as the
product OF any person save myself an utter I'm
possibility; that the Enquirer knows that she
who can speak correctly can also wrto
the same, II the Enquirer never saw her
write; aud then grouping all these indignities,
and setting them, on the one hand. in frame
work OF private family affairs. and on the other,
making a case of marital unhappiness OF which
II were impossible tn Il ANYTHING could have
been known--I repeat that, under these circum-
stances, this Is the most aggravated case to
damage literary reputation and to degrade,
disgrace. and destroy person In the public es-
timation that the annals OF journalism afford.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH-Sir: As con-
siderable Misrepresentation has been made In
reference to our present difficulties with steam-
ship companies through the press, we would RS
specially ask space in your columns to place
ourselves correctly before the public. We, tho
'longshoremen Of this city, ind that our old rate
OF wages is hardly sufficient IN maintain our
selves and families. and We have untodly re-
solved to ask slight Increase TO forty
cents per hour for day and night. We have
concluded to stand frm for this just demand,
feeling satisfied that no honorable workmen
Will take our places. We have measured our
step carefully, and feel confident that the steve
dores aud steamship companies will grant us
Just value for our labor.
