A CARD FROM MIR. BISHOP.
PIocHE, March 30. 1877.

EDITOR PIocHE REcoRD:-My atten-
ton has been called to what purports to
be The only true and genuine Confession
of John D. Lee Some OF the papers
saw this pretended last statement was
handed District Attorney Howard on the
field Just before the execution. That
much of the statement is false. Lse
never gave Howard. or any other per-
son, a line in writing that disputes the
confession that I have in my poses
sion. The confession, rs published in
the papers which owe allegiance to the
Pacific News Union, does not give Lees
statement in full; it does not give the
names of fifty and odd red-handed
wretches that aided in the massacre;
it does not state who did the killing on
the field rs fully as the corrected confess
sion in my hands gives the same, but it
will be seen that this pretended confess
zion does confirm every sentence which
Lee gave me after it was carefully cor.
rected.
Some of the editors who are angry be-
cause they did not obtain for their papers
thu eGry news as given by the New York
Herald and San Francisco Chronicle, and
also in the RECORD, intimate that l
made the confession of John D. Lee
public prematurely. All | have to say
about these silly aud vsnomous state
ments is this: John D. Lee has given
me authority in writng--snd at y time
since District Attorney Howard obtained
statement from Lee-requesting me to
publish his confession as soon as l saw fit
10 do 80. I never have been required to
retain the same secret until his execu-
ton; but, as faithful attorney, I re-
fused to make the same public az long
as there was hope OF saving Lees life,
Any person who intimates that | have in
any way violated my professional word,
or been unfaithful to my client, John d.
Lee, in any way. shape or manner, does
30 knowing the same to be a groundless
falsehood. An editor or news-gatherei
who will, for selfish purposes, cast such
IN iust insinuations upon any man who
has worked, RS all know l have worked
for John d. Lee, is, in my Judgment, l
white liv-red, detestible coward, that il
would be crime to call man. The
statements l have given to the public
concerning John D, Lee are all true, and
so acknowledged by him several day
after the day of bis execution had beer
fixed and l d-nounce all who disput,
the fact as cowardly ours and venonou
liars.
Very Respectfully Yours.
W. W. BISHOP.

exaggerated too much. it is the largest

In 1865 the senior member, j. A,

as might be brought to him. By close
attention to the wants of his CUSTOM
ers, the turning out Of the best of
work and continued diligence in his
business affairs, the trade enjoyed by
him increased so rapidly that the puf-
chasing of large stocks and the branch
ing out of his business became a ne
cessity. The junior member of the

gmsmith shop, with a neat stock OF
goods at No. 207 Washington street,
enjoys for himself an equal reputa,
ton for fair work rs his brother, who
continues Mt the old stand on Levee
street.
The wants Of their friends grew on
apace, and more cOmmodiOus quar-
ters were deemed essential for the fil-
ture. The present location was Sc
cured and the Brothers, up to this

Turks constructed so as 10 sweep the
road In the Russian rear, says: "This
redoubt is still untaken and constitutes
q great danger to the Russians, as It
gives the Turks possession Of q ridge
running parallel 10 that on which the
road runs. The Russian position Is
most critical, in spite of reinforcements.
Gen. Radelzky, indeed, informed the
commandant Of Gabrova, the day after
his arrival, that he had better warn the
inhabitants 10 be ready 10 fy at mo.

The Russians advanced under cover

yards Of the redoubt. Here they found
the Turks had cut down trees around
the redoubt making an Abattis, over
which 1t was almost impossible to pass.
They gathered around to the edge and
suddenly made Q rush for II, but were
driven back With fearful loss. The
soldiers became entangled in brush.

over which they were obliged to

redoubt, in which one company was
engaged, very few got back. Gen.
Radetzky sent reinforcements, and
the attack began again, but the die.
positions were to place large
force in position where II could
pour heavy fire into the redoubt to
cover the assault until the assailants
were almost up to the parapet. This
attack seemed almost ON the point OF
success, for the Colonel in command
said II the reserves were given

officer In command of the reserves let
