Judge WyIIe.

CARD RIGA RIDING A. J ANBLER
IT, the Public: IL is not without hesitancy.
and with some sense OF humiliation, arising
from the judicial nature OF my position, and
from that pride OF character which belongs
10 every man conscious OF mis- own in
tegrity, that l feel obliged 10 take
notice in this public manner OF car.
tain charges against me, contained IN a
memorial said u have been sent on for pre-
sentatlon TO Congress by one A. ]. A m bier
OF 81. Lolis, and which, in advance OF such
presentation, has been telegra phed all over
the country, and, with sensational and n pei
Gus headings, been published in neySpaoars
In New York, Chicago and other places.
These charges, from beginning TO end. one
and all, pronounce to .be absolutely false
and ground ess-the production of a mau
who was convicted ana sent TO the peniJen-
tiary OF Wisconsin for the crime of forgery;
whose perjuries load the records Of our courts;
whose character while he was q resident OF
this city was such that his neighborg II vel

or property at his hands, and whose brain
was SO uniformly inflamed aud on dre, as IL
were, from the use OF intoxicating LIQUORS as
10 account, In some measure, possibly, for
the extraordinary depravity OF his life.
III Is not my purpose on this occasion %
enter upon vindicatiOn OF my course In the
case OF Amber VS.. Whipple and DIckerson
examined the case TO the best OF my abil-
lily, and decided IL conscientiously, and my
decision was sustained by the Court in Gem
eral Term. 1t is true this decree was reversed
on appear, Dy the supreme Court of the
United states, but that court at the same
time intimated clearly that the court below
probably allowed its judgment 10 be swayed
somewhat by the well known bad character
OF Amber. That kind OF influence indeed
is hard TO avoid al all times. Good character
Will assert its aScendancy in courts Of Justice
as well as elsewhere, and even a meriforious

however, Amber has sustained a loss OF

decision adverse TO his claim, the public has
perhaps, been saved an equal amount; for /
understand that hts invention, after thor
ough' trial, has proved TO he utterly WORTH
less, and Whipple aud DickersOn are BANK
Tupts In consequence.
l have in my possession several letters
from Amber, written for the purpose OF eX-

The Election Faud Sensation.

THE VERY SLIGHT F0USDATIoS FOR IT.
There is said to be a material difference
between the facts testified to by Colonel
Whitley and ex-AttorIiey General Williams,
before the Committee on Expenditures in the
Department OF Justice, and various publica-
uons concerning IL. II has been broadly
stated that the President had been proved
guilty OF malfeasance in office, and the testi-
mony Of Williams and Whitley was given
TO the press in such way as TO give some
color of truth TO the allegation. But il can
be said on the best authority that neither
Whitley nor Williams testified or believed
that the money paid out OF the secret service
fund 10 Davenport was paid Illegally or i'm
properly, or was expended by Davenport
Illegally or improperly. TIE impression frat
they did so testify was ingeniOusiy created
by the statement that both said they pro.
tested against the pay ments, aud made them
only under specific orders from General
Grant. Judge Williams own statement is
that he told the committee not that d . pro-
tested, but that he was unwilling TO send The
money 10 New York, and so Informed the
President, believing that it was needed more
elsewhere. He says that while the President
was in New York Mr.. Davenport explained
TO him his plan OF registration for prevention
OF illegal voting. The President was struck
with Its efficiency, and on his return
to Washington urged the Attorney Gen.
from the fund for detection and punish
ment of crime. Mr.. Williams says that
between the years 1871 and 1875 he furnished
TO Mr.. Davenport the entire amount of the
expenses of the work, viz: s35, 900, and the
money was applied to that purpose. He
says that il Mr.. Davenport had called upon
the super visors separately TO make lists OF
registration, the expense, owing 10 the large
number OF supervisors for each election dis
tTict or voting precinct, would have been
much greater, and the work not so com
pletely performed. Therefore, the payment
of S35,C0O was economy, and accom- piished ali
the purposes contemplated by the law. This
amount was exclusive Of the per diem paid
TO the supervisors.
A special from this city to the Baltimore
Sun says: sit was proposed by Mr.. Conger,
or Michigan, republican member of the
committee, that copy OF the testimony bs
sent to the President, not because he believed
the President was in any way compromised
by IL, but that he might see what IL was
This Will probably be done. The matter
however, IS not likely to result in any very
startling disclosure. 1t has been known ever
since 1872 that large amount OF money was
used in the autumn of that year In the regis.
tration In New York city, where the regis
tration was very thorough. The amount ex-
pended in New York city was really much
less than was expended in Philadelphia. The
excuse given for this use of money was aud
Is that the democratic registration FRAUDS
were so enormous as to warrant the general
government In exercising general su pervI-
sion over the elections"

FLOODS ~ THE WEsr.-Accounts from
