The Lie Given to Bayard.
PHILADELPHIA, December 10th.-The Pres,
will publish tomorrow letter from George
S. Boutwell,, G. A. Arthur, Noah Davis and
Roscoe Conkling in which, after referring to
the editorial that appeared in the Press OF
October 90, 1880, in which it was alleged that
Senator Bayard, in speech recently deliv.
cred at Dover, referred to the case of Phelps,
Dodge & Co., who were compelled some
wears ago to refund to the Govern
ment the amount due it and unpaid on
certain undervalued invoices, and declared
that Senator Conkling, Noah Davis, the Dis
trict Attorney; MIR. Arthur, the Collector
Mr.. Jayne, special officer, and George s.
Boutwell,, Secretary of the Treasury, were
present in the Custom House when this
money tS267, 000) was paid. and that they
divided it among themselves, the writers
conclude: "A month has now elapsed
since you thus published and characterized
this reported utterance. The State Sentinel,
g newspaper published at Dover, the place
contained only ere day later than your
issue like report; yet up to this
time, no disclaimer or retraetion by or on
behalf of Mr.. T. +. Bayard has appeared, as
far as we know. We think it time to notice
so serious Islander, purporting to come from
a member OF the Senate of the United States.
We therefore pronounce the statement, by
whomsoever made, RUTHLESS calumny. 1t
was made with the assertion that the man
who made it had the knowledge and means
of knowing of its truth. Besides being a
falseheod, it was willful and wicked false
hood" The letter is signed by George S.
Boutwell,, G. Arthur, Noah Davis and Roscoe
