What Caused the Death of Philip Henry.

WASHINGTON d. G., March II, 1879.
To he Editor of The National Republican
SIR: am compelled to notice communi-
cation in to-day's issue Of The REPUBLICAN,
referring to the death Of Philip Henry. The
writer with many others. as he says has a
wrong impression in the matter. Being called
upon by the coroner to perform post-mortem
examination on an entire stranger, reported
the cause of death to be congestion of the brain
and lungs, ut the same time 'refraining from
stating its origin, out of regard for the feel
iugs Of his friends. My private opinion cor
robornted by others present, is that this con
dition was due to excessive drinking as was
evidenced by the cirrhosed liver and infaned
stomach, which spoke in tones more forciblC
and logical than a thousand temperance lee
tures-aside from the police officers testimony
who detected the smell of liquor on the de
| ceased even after death. can understand the
motive which prompted the writer, but his yea
to screen his friend should not have permitted
him to publicly assail my knowledge or ability

refusal to give his presence and aid In such
matters was unprecedented.

at D. M, tor the entering OF his order. and re-
uuested the presence OF attorneys OF both sides.
