ANXIOUS CURIE.


!
| surprised me more than mere words can de
scribe. When read it felt like man who i
chained to the ground, bound hand and fool, t,ant
| deliberately kicked In the face. I had supposed
that after an oyerhowing measure OF law and az
exceptional punishment had been dealt out Il
me,attcr have been torn away from my family
! and can now grasp the hands Of my friend:
| only behind prison bars, that the malice and
vengeance Of my enemies would cease to pursue
me. had supposed that in the face Of that ir.
repressiblc public sympathy which is accorded
me- to-day by friends as well as former political
opponents; without distinction Of party OF
nationality, the newspapers Of the city would
at least be just to me, aud would generously
refrnin from distorting and misrepresenting the
facts Of my case. The article in question, how
ever, has utterly annihlatcd this justihah1e ex.
pcctation. It is SO bitter and ungcnerous, SO
false in all the particulars upon which the arga-
mcnt is based, that Icannot believe that you per
sonally aware Of its contents until after its
publication. It must have been written by
Somebody who was nislnformed as to the facts,
but honestly believed his information to be
true, for DO not believe that there is q man 50
buse, mean and unEencrous that he would
knowingly and deliberately bcar false witness
against q man who is alrendy bowed down by
misfortune as l an: 4 desire 10 correct thls
