WASHINGTON, Feb 9, 1879
To The Editor Of ne National Republican:
SIR; Several OF the statements contained In your
paper OF saturday last do great wrong 70 my nus
band Mr.. Charles D. Stewart, lately taken by force
from this city TO an insane asylum in Baltimore
The assertion that he has been twenty years In nm
insane asylum, and that there can be, therefore no
doubt OF his Insanity is not only grossly but cruelty
wrong and unjust. have been seven years mar.
ried to Mr Stewart who has been every hour OF
our married life an alieCtionate and devoted nus
band, and solemnly aver before my Maker that
MS conduct has been uniformly mild ana gentle,
never once violent and that during our whole mar
ried life he In not single instance so behaved as
TO Justify suspicion that he was insane. And lie
Is not insane now. All the members OF the wort
ley family, under whose roof he was domlclled as
Ooarder aud was kindly receiving protection
consisting OF three gentlemen and three ladies'
distinctly assure me that during the whole period
oil his domice with them, three weeks aud n lttle
more, there was nothing In the conduct of my hus-
band 70 raise the slightest suspicion OF insanity.
Ihey all say that he was pleasant Intelligent khn
courteous IN the extreme, and devoted to myself
his afflicted wife say 1t. and It Is strictly true,
hnd say IL with all the pride OF loving wife That
he won the esteem aud fond attachment OF all the
Aud they parted with him, they my, with deep re-
greet, when. without any exhibited authority what.
sOeNcr he was rudely torn from the custody OF
helpless females, no male member OF the family
being present To resist his arrest and abduction
poot man, he did escape from Mount Hope prison.
lie had been confined there from June last TO the
time OF his escape without any evidence Of his IN
sanity, rs he Informed me, aud while generally III
good health aud l. his wife. was not allowed to see
him. on the pretext that seeing me would make him
worse. He escaped with great difficulty, he con-
iesses and who, when confined as mailman when
he was not, and bound with chains when he had
committed no act Of violence. and was sensible aud
rational, would not have escaped from the prison
In which he was shut out from his kindred and the
world?
The truth IS Mr.. Editor the general impression
IS That money Is IN the way aud that II Is my nus.
bands Interest IN his fathers estate that exCites the
cupidity Of those who ought to hug HIM 10 their
DOsOms
shall proceed ut once to test the legality Of his
unnecessary and inhumun Incarceration, aud trust
IN the goodness of God and the synpathies OF the
good everywhere for the success OF my efforts.

The Reason why He Did Not Buy Them.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 1879.
lf'. A. King Chandler, Washington, d. c.:
DEAR SIR: Having received your letter, In
structing me to attend In your interest the
auction sale of damaged linen goods sold by
Field, Morris, Fenner & Co., of this city, did
so, but am sorry to say that as the company of
buyers was so large being from all parts Of
the country, and tue fact of many OF them
displaying great ignorance of the value of the
goods, it was impossible for me to make any
judiGious purchases for you.
/ will give you an idea of the prices paid:
40-inch Bucher's linen, 25l cents; can be
bought for % cents In sound condition.
600 shifting linen 81 cents; sound price,
2sl cents
5s.inch loom damask 80 cents; sound price,
80 cents.
Colored cotton damask, "a cents; sound
price, 40 cents.
So badly were these last goods damaged that
the appraiser allowed White & Co.. the import
ers, so per cent. reduction.
One lot Of three or four cases of white dam
ask sold for $50 more than sound price.
These goods were sold for net cash, while,
Of course, on the regular price there is dis
count Of per cent.
Trusting that you will approve of my course,
remain, sir, yours, very respectfully,
