TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HER.LD:-
In your editorial in Tuesdays paper entitled "rhe
Great Unknown" you no doubt unintentionally do q
great injustice good soldier although perhaps not
great General he might have proved had he
possessed the opportunities of the Grants and Sher
mans and Hancocks, about whom much fuss Is
being continually made. General Wylie has been
identified long time with the National Guard, or
called militia Of the state, and doubt received the
votes Of hundreds Of his comrades in arms. TO which
he clearly entitled by his services to the nation
and the State. He, with thousands Of our young
ilaInen, rushed to arms in 1861 at the call Of the
President, and II the ridiculous behaving Cofedcrates
had only made good time to Richmond as
militianien did from Bull Run to Washington the
bellion would have been nipped in tho bud and
would have been spared all this nonsense about
Sheridans ride and Lookout Mountain and Win

OVERLAND FREIGHT.

The reports concerning break in the freight and
passenger contract between the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company and the Union and Central Pacific
Railroad companies have been pronounced false. The
truth concerning the reported disagreement between
the companies was told yesterday TO HERALD re-
porter by gentleman prominent in the affairs Of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. He said that ON
October 1875, contract entered into for sixty
days between the two companies, by which the
head money paid to the Pacific Mail Company was
abolished. and in lieu thereof s39OW a month
allowed that company of which S2o.V0
was passengers and $4,000 ON freight. This con-
tract would not expire until saturday next. The OH.
OF the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, think
ing that the contract expired December 1, made
blunder, and sent word ut that time 10 the Pacihc
roads that conferences would have to be held to make
some arrangements for its renewal. The officers of
the last mentioned roads paid attention to the no
tice, and President Babcock, Of the Pacific
Mail considering II slight, called his
Board of Directors together. Thar resolved 40

SOMETHING ABOUT TWO CARDS.

Mcssrs. Mchnard and Sabourin have come
to tho front to deny statement recently
made in the DEMOCRAT by former well
known lobbyist that, some years ago,
in certain prosecution Of parties
for violation of act No. o, the Lottery
Company had a scheme ON foot TO bride,
If practicable, the Judge before whom the case
was TO be tried. We do not regard Messrs
Michlnard and Sabourin as competent wit
nesses in this case. 1t is true they wore the
attorneys of the Lottery Company in the
prosecution, and we have no doubt they dill
gently and faithfully brought all the arts and
devices Of The law to bear to force the two poor
devils to pay the $25 fine or go to jail, as act
No. 0 provides all mon shall do in cases where
they invade the sacred privileges of the Lot
terry Company. But rs they are respectable
attorneys it is not to be supposed that the
Lottery Company entrusted them with the
business OF bribing the court OF informed
them of the project,
The company has many strikers and tools
constantly in its employ to do that sort Of
dirty work without imposing it even upon
their most facile attorneys. The statement
Of our informant. the protestations of Messrs.
Michinard g. Sabourin to the contrary not
wthstanding. we believe to be literally true.
1t is very certain that the agents of the Lot
terry Company never went SO far in the bust
ness as to offer Judge Saucer bride. They
learned early in the day that that would be q
dangerous and hopeless experiment. But the
statement that shyster was employed TO see
what could be DONE that the project was
talked over between Howard, Billings and the
shyatcr remains unrefuted, and we believe Is
true.
We make no charges against the parties,
whose cards we print this morning. Yet to a
suspicious mind Mr.. SAbourins fierce denial
and denunciaton of George o. Bears will
seem somewhat remarkable. Neither the
name of Bears nor Of anybody else was men
toned by us as our informant. and there is
not Il line in the whole statement Or inter-
view If the charges it contains ore false, to
furnish a clue to trace up Mr.. Bears as the
source Of the information.
The promptness with which one OF the card
writer's lights upon Bears and pointing him
out iiercely eXclaims: Thou are the mani -
makes it little less than certain that between
Howard and Billings and the recorder re-
| ferred to, there was some rascally business
relative to the prosecutions in question
with which Bears was VIGOROUSLY. in lottery
circles, fully acquainted That rascalIy
business our informant. be he Geo. O. Bears
| or somebody else, has accurately we believe
| exposed in the DEMOCRAT Of the twentieth of
August.
