The scwing-NIachme Case,

TO me Ediior of the National Republican;
SIR: In your issue of this morning l find
that have been arrested for grand larceny
aud left collateral for my appearance at the
Police Court this morning You will obligc
me very much by inserting in your issue of to-
morrow that this is entirely false, there having
been 10 arrest made whatever. The case no
doubt alluded to is that Mr., Il. r, Mason leased
of me on August 80, 1878, Il sewing machine, to
be paid for in sixty days from that date. In
stead of complying with this agreement, he
made ore payment on August 30, 1873, and has
maid nothing since. therefore, at the sug-
gcstion of Mrs. Mason, sent two OF my, en-
nIovees TO take possession of the machine,
which they did, no resistance whatever being
offered, ana with Mrs. Mason's consent. Mason
then had issued search-warrant for the ma
chine, Which he failed to Gud. Hoping you
will make this correction, l am, yours, respect
