A Card from Mr.. Rockafellow.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. S, 1876.
To the Editor ofthe National Republican:
SIR &: The public are aware that have been
arrested, imprisoned, tried and acquitted.
This all occurred within brief space of time,
and deeming an explanation due my kind
friends and the public generally, gladly avail
myself of your kind offer of space in THE RE-
PUBLICAN for that purpose. ain many things
VIC all Offend" and l do not claim an exemp-
ton but justice to myself requires me to state
that have been more sinned against than sim
ling. There are foundations for many of the
charges brought against me, but there are also
mitigating circumstances which beg leave to
explain.
1t is true that have had some influence in
Washington, and, being successful in obtain
ing some few positions for friends, it was noised
abroad among the impecunious, and l was
often besieged by the hungry and moneyless to
use that influence which l might possess in
their behalf. In a majority of cases money
was offered me by persons without my asking.
/ was afterwards approached by the same par
ties and asked to aid them in obtaining en-
ployment. l could do nothing else but endeavor
to aid them. This has been used against me,
and all manner of devices resorted to to blacken
my name, ard even deprive me Of my personal
liberty. The whole thing was gotten up by
the aid of q man named Penn, of Georgia,
whom l had removed from office for being a
Democrat, and a man named Davis, of the
same State, who had imposed himself upon a
member of Congress from North Carolina as
being from that State. l exposed this fellow,
also, after he had gotten position in the Pen
sion Office, and he was removed.
Judge Mills, after hearing all the evidence,
acquitted me. take this occasion to thank
the officers of the Police Court with but two
exceptions) and the officers of the jail for
courteses to me during the bombariment, aud
also my counsel, Judge Pelham, of Alabama,
and Col. Jack Brown, of Georgia, for the zeal
and kindness shown me during the la:e un-
pleasantness.
Respet fully, 4. d. RoCkAFELLow.

Robbing on the Highway.

Last Saturday afternoon, near six o'clock,
a huckster, named Charles Brown, while
under the influence Of liquor, was lettering
near the confines of the Smithsonian grounds,
when two land sharks, named John Shylock
and Randall Henson, approached him.
Seeing that he was too drunk to navigate,
they induced him to- enter the grounds, and
soon after found a convenient spot, as they
supposed, to ego through him" Henson pro-
ceeded to inspect his pockets, while Shylock
kept watch to prevent interruption. His vigi-
lance was not good, for if his eyesight had
bCen more Keen he would have observed De-
tective Miller and Officer Harlow watching
the entire transaction. No sooner had Henson
taken some money from his victims pocket
than the two officers bounced down and took
the two higlwaymen into custody. They
were so much surprised that no excuse for
their action could be framed. Both were
taken to the Central guard house, and will be
interviewed by Acting Judge Mills this morn

A Misunderstanding About Taxes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 6, 1876.
To the Editor of the Nl.iona! Republican,:
SIR VIII you please allow the following to
be published in your valuable paper? Upon
information, learn that Mr.. VI. H. Gasktns, in
public worship, stated that the trustees of the
Second Baptist church (colored) was invested
with money to pay taxes on sub-lot "a in square
SOS, and that the said trustees did not pay the
taxes, but made away with the money. 1t ap-
pears that sub-lot "a, in square 52s, was sold
in 1875 for taxes due in 1S7l-'2, and bought by
a Mr.. Spalding, the property being in the name
of Parkinson Jones. l hereby make known
that If such statement was made by Gaskins or
any one else it is erroneous and utterly false.
The presumption was that all church property
was exempted from taxation that was actually
used for church purposes. This lot being part
that the church building is on no taxes ever
were anticipated. When the proper time comes
the trustees will show that all taxes have been
paid for the above-named church as far as they
were instructed.
Yours, respectfully,
L. G. FLETCHER

Veterans of Mexico.

The local association of survivors of the
Mexican war held their regular monthly meet
ing at Ills Pennsylvania avenue on Saturday
evening, 9Th inst. Aside from the usual rou-
tine business the principal topic of discussion
related to the most appropriate and practical
plan for commemorating as body the ap-
preaching anniversary Of the surrender of
Mexico to the American arms on the 14th of
September, 1S47, the crowning event Of that
glorious war. Among those present who par
ticipated in the debate were Daniel Smith, H .
NJ. Cole, David T. Norris, S. A. Pitts, John T.
Lynch, Marcellus Wilson and John Braunan.
A resolution finally prevailed, as follows:
ResoIttd, That the officers of the association
are hereby constituted q committee, aud are
authorized to make all arrangements for a
suitable celebration of the coming 18th of
September.
The committee will therefore consist of the
following named gentlemen, officers Of the
association: Gen. j. W. Denver, Col. +. T.
Niles, Messrs. 4. R. French, NJ. D. Months,
Joshua Clark, John Brannan, s. G. Morrill,
and Alex. NJ. Kenaday.
In reply to inquiries of members present the
secretary, Mr.. A. NJ. Kenaday, stated that the
bill before Congress granting pensions to Mex
lean war veterans stOOQ NO. on the calendar,
and that the House could not much longer
delay action on the report of the Pension Com
mitee unless there is deliberate intention toig-
more the bill by leading members of the House,
which he was 10th to believe. Mr.. jerks, the
chairman Of the committee, had promised over
his signature on the oath of June, that ''nothing
will be left undone to have 1t considered at an
early day." and the secretary has faith in the
honorable chairman's assertion. Very many
members have expressed desire to vote 90
the bill before returning to their homes, aud
confidently expect Chairman jerks to call it
up.
With regard to when the proceedings Of the
national reunion at Philadelphia on the 4th of
July would be published, Secretary Kenaday
replied that several good reasons for delay
existed, among others the failure of the meet
ing to provide for the expenses involved; but
he would undertake the duty as heretofore,
and trust to the membership to sustain him.
1t is no small matter to print and distribute
by mail five or six thousand pamphlets, but
he hoped to be able by a little further delay to
add to the account of the meeting other infor-
nation which will make the pamphlet an in
teresting publication. He thought it would be
distributed in September or October, and
would probably contain the vote on the pen
sion bill.

Worth knowing,

For nearly thirty years there was no i'm
provement in plasters, until Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters were invented. Necessity is,
indeed, the mother of invention. The ordinary
porous plaster has been found to act too slow,
days and weeks Of continuous wear being re-
quired to bring relief and cure. The discovery
of capciDe has been of great value to medicine,
and to the people an incalculable boon.
Capcine operates with astonishing vigor
upon disease, brings immediate relief, and
cures quicker than any known plaster, lini-
ment or compound. Capcine is superior to
electricity, and more certain; it strikes the
root of disease. 1t is purely vegetable. Ben
sons Capcine Porous Plasters are perfectly
free from metallic or mineral poisons. They
do not blister, and are indorsed by over two
thousand physicians and druggists of excellent
reputation. They differ from the ordinary
porous plaster in giving instant relief to the
sufferer, and insurinc a positive and prompt
cure. Price twenty-five cents.

THE TABERNACLE.
Largo Attendance at the Gospel Tent.

L Aokt0 Abt0Ao6lDo 81 bAo uObpo2 Aunt
The services yesterday throughout the day
were of more than usual interest. In the
morning the rastor, Rev. J. shreeve, preached
from the parable of the barren fig tree as re-
corded in the It'll and Sth verses of the 18th
chapter of Luke; after which the sacrament
| of the Lords supper was administered to a
! large number of communicates. Subsequently
| a number united with the mission.
At3p. IN. there was an interesting children's
| meeting, which consisted of singing aud ad-
| dresses. The 4 p. In. services were conducted
| under the auspices of the Working Christian
| Association, a society of Christians just Or
| ganized TO work in connection with the re-
yiyal. This meeting was well attended, and
it's opening services gave evidence of future
usefulness. Addresses were delivered by Rev.
DR.. Ball, Rev. Oliver Cox, Rev. ]. ShreeVe
and Thos. B. Marche, esq, president of the as
ISOLATION.
The scene at night was an inspriting one,
reminding US of an old -fashioned camp meet
ing. Inside the tent every available seat, in
! Guiding the steps to the stand, was occupied,
embracing within its limits perhaps fifteen
hundred people. Outside and all around the
tent there was dense concourse of people
who were unable TO obtain admittance but the
tent curtains, which are eight feet high, were
raised to their full height, so that those on the
outside could both see and hear There was
fully two thousand people present. On the
stand we noticed a number of ministers of va
rious denominations, among whom were Rev.
Messrs. Burkhardt, Cox, DIR. Ball, etc.
Rev. DIR. Sunderland, of the Four and-a-half
street Presbyterian church, preached, and in
his opening remarks said he was glad to stand
here In the interest of our common Lord. His
text was Isaiah liii;5, "That he was wounded
for our transgressions, he was bound for our
iniquities," &c. After q brief review of the
necessity for and what constituted faith, DR.. s.
advanced ard dwelled upon the great central
truth contained in the text, viz: That Christ
Jesus died to save sinners, stating the condi-
lions upon which his death might be made
available. Space will not permit an abstract
of tie sermon. 1t is sufficient to say that it
was worthy of the high reputation of the
catholic-spirited preacher who delivered it.
The public interest in these meetings is
widening and deepening throughout the city,
as the attendance last night fully attests, there
being much larger number present than on
any preceding evening. The services will be
continued during the present week at 1890 a.
m. and p. m.

BLUMENBERG BLOOMING.
He Stops at the Hotel de Croker.

Some time ago Rudolph Blumenberg, we'll
known in this city, was arrested in San Fran
cisco, Cal, on the affidavit of Henry Birch, a
contractor here, who charged the former with
having during the past two years embezzled a
large amount of District bonds that were
placed in his hands by contractors as security
for collateral loans. The accused was brought
back to this city and appeared before Judge
Wylie to obtain reduction of bail; Hon. Mont
gomery Blair being his counsel and John II. H
Wells representing the Government. At the
time of the arrest in California bail was fixed
in each case at $4,000, which was reduced by
Judge Wylie to $1,000. Being unable to give
this amount, he was returned to Jail.
