LEAvESwoRTH, August 6, 1877.
EDITOR CHEF My attention has just been called
to a communication under date of Washington, July
1ith, signed III, published in your issue of the ID
inst, which does great injustice to Senator Ingalls,.
As am the officer referred to, and familiar with
all the material facts in the case, deem it my duty
to make a statement, correcting many of the asser-
tons contained in said communication The facts in
the substantially follows:
LIST. Joseph Dunlap referred to by the initials of j.
d. indicted at the April term of the L. S. Dis
trict Court of this State, at Topeka, for making
false affidavit to defaud the United States, and was,
the time of the procurement of the Indictment in
Washington.
ID Having been notified of his Indictment and fail
ing to surrender himself to the officers of the law,
was armed with capias warrant and copy of the m
dietmcnt, and dispatched by L. s. Marshal Miller to
Washington, for the purpose of efectins his arrest
found, upon my arrival there, that Mr.. Dunlap was
exceedingly 'hard np" and when impaired the OBJ
jec of my visit to him, while he had fears to the
result of his case, he grated and pleased at the
opportunity afforded him of returning home at no ex
pense himself, being anxious and willing to return
lie was incarcerated, but treated with the utmost
| kindness, and brought home unshackled, in a

Sd. Senator Ingalls, surprised when informed oi
the nature of my business in Washington; and am
confident, being familiar with all the proceedings in,
and circumstances attending, the case that he had
nothing whatever do with the arrest knew nothing
of the case and any charge the contrary is unjust
and made only for political eefict The has new

been ready for trial. but has had it continued from

HAVE You HEARD FROM MAINES-Last week,
the Republican State Convention of Maine met
A set of resolutions were offered. fully endors-
ing Hayes, whereupon another set were present
ed, bitterly denouncing the President and his
policy. The latter resolutions were enthusiastic
cally received, and would have been adopted by
more than two-thirds vote; but at this juncture,
Senator Blaine interposed, and moved to lay
both sets of resolutions on tks table. He coun-
seled peace and harmony, and his motion pre-
vailed. Resolutions were then adopted which
make no mention of the President or his policy /;
but every word and sentence in them is thrust
through and through the pitlful carcass OF the
poor weakling whom a mysterious fate has per-
mitted to occupy position in which his insiS-
pifcance is conspicuous to the world. The fol-
lowing 10 one of the resolutions adopted. Per-
haps Hayesism can take comfort from it:
Tenth-The States of South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana were!fairly and legally carried by the Re
Publieans at the November election, 1876 for state
and national tickets.
Senator Blaine must be reader of the Chief.
The ground that We have all along taken, has
been that Conventions should endeayor to har-
monize, by making no mention whatever of the
Presidents policy. But it is noticeable that the
question is always thrust in by supporters of the
President, and the other side are compelled to
meet the issue. Another fact will be noticeable
after the eletions-that every State in which the
Presidents policy is endorsed will be lost to the
Republicans, while in every State in which it is
ignored altogether, the Republicans will win.

SHOWING ITS CoiypRs.-The Troy Bsi'etia
made Its appearance at the time the anti-bond-
tax meetings were being held throughout the
County, and the position it took, was an insinu-
alton that the people of Doniphan County were
trying to repudiate their honest debts. Since
thst time, it has been lamenting that promi-
nent railroad attorney is not the member of Con-
gress from this District-su attorney 1uhose
principal Insiness in this Ccur u 5 hindering
the County from collecting ske laufal and jast
taxes acainst raiIrnat. aud trying to swindle
farners aud others cat "f just claims sssinst the
road Tor stock killed or limbs crushed by the
negligence of the railroad employees. The paper
above named, after thus rebnking the people Of
the County as repndiators of honest debts, and
bepnfing this railroad Sbylock, takes a very ap-
propriate position, lart week, relative to the re-
fusal to levy railroad tax. 1t says any other
men in their places wonld have done the same
thing; and that endorsing their act is one thing,
and re-electing them 10 asotksx. When the peo-
pie meet in precinct and County Conventions,
they asked the Commissioners to do this thing
and pledged themselves to stand by them, and
sustain them. The people will do as they prom
ised. They did not say: "Here, do this thing for
kick you out, and put men in your places who
have an eye single to the interests of the Troy
Bnlietia."
1t may yet become an interesting question i'm
this bond tax matter, what share railroad attor-
neys and agents of holders of Doniphan County
railroad bonds had in the establishment Of a
newspaper, at a certain juncture in the discuss
ion of the bond MATTER. When the people meet
in Convention, and solemnly resolve that they
no longer able to pay the railroad taxes, it is
well to stop and consider whether the publica-
tion, week after week, of extravagant crop re-
ports, even going SO far as to make public in
ventory of the amount of wheat and corn in the
granarics of individual farmers, is intended as a
puff of the farmers, or notification to the bond
holders who are squeezing $1,000 annually out
of our people, that the farmers are lying-that
they have big crops, are getting rich, and are
amply able to pay the interest on the bonds.
sure way to prevent a compromise on the bond
question, is that adopted by this great friend of
the people-exaggerate the means and prosperity
of our people, and try to repudiate the men who
have obeyed the request of the people, by refas-
ing TO levy bond tax.

n A meeting of Anti-Hayes Republicans OF
Ohio was held at Columbus, last week, at which
preliminary measures were taken to organize
the party in all parts of the State. 1t shows
that Hayssism has opposition in his own State,
and that the danger of Republican defeat is not
exaggerated. But such men are impracticable.
Better keep the party whole. 1t will then work
Hayesism off by a natural operation; but if the
party Is to be defeated it matters little whether
Hayes is endorsed or not. There is no sense in
Samson pulling the house down over his own
head, in order to get rid of few Philistines.
