Mrs. Bowers, whose name has recent
Iv been much mentioned III connection
with the Norton Barrett sguabble. CON
plains that in an article in the DEMO
CRAr Of May 81. on the testimony OF
disreputable characters. we included
her in that category. The reading OF
the sentenoe in which Bowers name ap-
pears does not justify the construction
she has placed upon it. nor was it our
purpose TO rank her as "a disreputable
person" The very plain meaning of
the sentence referred TO is, that all
classes OF witnesses. disreputahle as
well as reputable, should be heard by
the Congressional Committee. We
have no war Of abuse with women, and
are free TO say that we know of nothing
i'm relation to Mrs. Bowers to warrant
us in elassing her as disrerutable.

are thus referred to.
In the eNuherance Of his enthusiasm to obtain

evidently betrayed confidence in exposing tho
authors Of the mischievous kilograms and com

names respectively OF Sheriff Kaufman and
Tax Collector Weber attached thereto.
Mr.. y. A. Weber. the Tax Collector
referred TO. writes us letter in which
he positively dsclaims the authorship
of these kilograms. and says that if his
name is attached to them 1t is a forgery.
We have not seen the kilograms referred
to, but have no doubt they were pub

at the latter town can identify the man
who sent them.
