A Serious Charge Squarely Met.

We chcerfully give conspicuous place 10
what the Hon RICHARD W. THOMPSON has
10 say in regard - his alleged connection
with the corrupting lobby Of the Kansas
Pacific, formerly known a, the Lcavenworth,
Pawnec and Western. II will be observed
that Mr.. THOMPSON takes refuge in no ann
biguity of expression. He declares in plain
language that the only service he over gcu-
dercd this corporation, or It's representa-
tives, consisted OF the purely legal work OF
drawing up memorial to be- filed with the
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs Iii, re.u-
tions with the railroad stopped just There.
He denies that he over was cngnsed in lob
bying for the road, or in pushing its !utcr-
ests in the departments H. also explicitly
denies that he ever was promised any lee In
lands or stock, contingent upon the com
pany's success in procuring the desired
action by the Government Nj. THo'lPsoS
states the case squarcly, and his word l.
entitled TO consideration.
Accepting Mr.. 1HOMPsoN's statement. the
confidential schedule Of the managers Of the
road evidently docs him great injustice. and
docs ii maliciously. That momorandum
which was no more intended for the public
eye than was CAKES AlIEs's little hook, re-
cords Mr.. THOMPSON claim not only To-
5000 in cash, but also to an interest in a
million dollars worth Of stock. 1t = true
that the marginal comments on the schedule
treat his claims with undi-sul-cd contempt.
directing that he be siidGcn In regard 10 the
stock. and showed out OF the cush But the
injury done Mr.. THoMPsoS by cheating him
OF his reward, surprising hc had actually
earned it, would be trivial beside the wan
ton and unjustilable use OF his name even
on a private memorandum, in connection
with lobby transactions of SO unpleasant a
character.
We hardly suppose that the Hon. RICHARD
". THOMPSON can hope for an apology from
Messrs. STONE and EWING for Attempting 10
damage his reputation by this lihcllpus
entry in their confidential corruption list
They have already shown too little respect
for his name and professional services o.
warrant the expectation that they will now
come forward and set the matter right. At

to THE SUNS rcqucs, for explicit Information
regarding the character of his relations with tho

Mr.. Hayes's Secretary Of the Navy lives in tho
old Sickles mansion. on Lafayette square. He
Is n slim, nervous man Of about sixty-ilve. with
rather bushy gray hair The lines about the
corners of his eyes and mouth give him some
resemblance to Hannibal Hnnlin. but M lacks

casiOn, he bites viciousy Mt the end OF his
cigar. the muscles around his mouth witch In

fences, often repeating word from three to
half n dozen timus for the sake of emphasis.

about the mnttcr." said Mr.. Thompson. Don't
know anything about IT,"
To refresh the Hon. Richard W. Thompson's
memory he was shown certified copy OF tho
confidential statement or corruption list Of the
