Staunton, Va, Aug. 9th.

We intended to send this letter by tele-
graph. The Tribune was asked if it would
publish a correction of its misstatements in
Saturdays issue. No response came to the
Inquiry until the following morning, and then
the answer received was an equivocal one
We forwarded the letter by mail, but the
Tribune refused to publish it. At least it has
not yet appeared. A reasonable time was al
lowed for its appearance and it was then for
warded to the Herald. The letter itself and
the efforts made to have it reach the public
through the columns of the paper to which it
was addressed, refute, with emphasis, the
charge preferred in the resolutions. The only
qualification we now make to that letter is
that the few impracticables," have betrayed
sensible men into an action which the sober,
second thought must teach them is "inexcua-
BILE in morals or politics"
There is no living man who can stand up
and truthfully say that he has ever been
willfully misrepresented by the V1Re1N1AN
under its present propretors. To our bitter
est political opponents we have always ten
dered our columns, without price, when they
wished to vindcate themselves from any
charge we might have made against them, or
to refute any arguments advanced by us. We
have fought and fought fiercely at times, and
we expect to continue the combat as long as
error and wrong, as we conceive them, are
to be commended against, but never vet have
we stopped to Il mean advantage, and there
is no eavthly inducement that would tempt
us to do so now. That we would wilf1lly
misrepresent the people of Staunton, is to give

their behalf. In season and out of season.

sIurderous indian Plot.

PoRT TOWNSEND, July Sd. = Captain
Willoughby, Indian Agent at Neah Bay,
having learned from the Hosette Indian who
was arrested and brought here yesterday that
two other Indians were concerned in the
murder of the Indian boy lately reported,
Immediately started for Neah Bay. and
arrested murderer No. 2 last evening, and
brought him here in irons this morning. He
is villainous looking Claquot Indian, and
was the principal in concocting the murder.
After the Agent read the confession of the
other Indian duplicating him in the murder,
the Claqu0t would have been torn to pieces
by the Reservation Indians had strong
guard not been placed over him. Previous
to his arrest reward of $500 had been Of
fered by the Indians themselves for the
arrest of the murderer, besides fur
ther reward individually offered by
Agent Willoughby, who had tie In-
dians securing the country for four days
before finding the body, which was badly
no doubt that the murder was committed by
the parties arrested, and such cold blooded
deed deserves the heaviest punishment the
law can inflict, otherwise dangerous conse-
quences may be expected. The prisoners
have been turned over to the military authori-
ties, awaiting instructions from the Secretary
of the Interior, but whether the military have
the power to try Indians for murder is de-
batable question. However, it is hoped no
flaw may exist in this case. It has transpired
through the confession of the Hosette Indian
that conspiracy had been entered into some
time ago between these same Indians to muir
der Captain Waite, of the schooner Mist, who
died here recently, their intention being to
rob the schooner while sealing, as Waite was
known to have considerable money aboard.
The plot was frustrated by the sudden illness
of Captain Waite, which resulted in his
death. The greater part of the money taken
from the boy has been recovered by Agent
Willoughby, who has spared neither time nor
money in hunting up the murderers and turn
ing them over to the authorities.
