HONEST JOHN ROWING TO THE sToRM.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, juno 10. 1877.
49, DEAR GENERAL: Yours received.
Ihe action of the Legislature in regard
70 my election was telegraphed, and ap.
peaFed la the papers yesterday. l have
written TO find out, all can. I think
Sen. butler will not let it go too far, az
ne neede ne In order to get his seat, but
say not word about it. do not think
uhey can get anything that will do me
much injury, butI dislike the newspaper
howl that will be made about it. and
also wish to avoid the expense and trou-
BILE of such an Investigation. The OBJ.
ject of this Commission 1Legislatiye In
vestigating Committed is 60 20 for all
the leaders and drive them out of the
State. We may as we'll all make up our
minds to that. God only knows what 10
10 become OF US. It is loo late now to
cry, and fheonly plan is to meet the fu-
ture; I will do slf I can TO. keep you in
until December. l am very sorry to
hear you have not saved anything
as I had hopes that you had laid
up something for 'rainy day. Well,
we are young enough. yet to start again.
will strike for thS flYcst when 1 leave
the Senate. see you have an election
for members on 26th. What will our
people do? Did they appoint Repub-
lican one of the Commissioners of Elec-
ton? Well it is nearly all over, and
Chamberlains reform has ruined the
party and all its members. I shall be
glad to Gee you, and will be here to meet
yen 1T you let me know when you are
coming. Your friend. M
J.J. PATTERSON.
PIoUs RUTHERFORD WILL LIE.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, June IL. 1877.
DEAR GENERAL: Hayes told me YOU
should not be removed, except for cause.
until December. Nov, I think we can
prevent it until then, although he will
lie, and Sherman controle him. It is q
mistake about Butler getting up the
fight against me: 1t was John Cochran.
because he was not appointed Collector.
BE careful what you say about either
Cochran or Butler. The committee
meets about middle of July. think we
can manage it SO as not to give much
trouble. Keep sharp lookout upon it..
Excuse haste.
Yours truly, JNo. J. PATTERSON.
THOSE TELL-TALE BOOKS OF PARKER's.
UNITED STATES SENATE: :gHAMBEn,
~ 'WAsHrNaToN, July II, 1872.
DEAR GENERAL: Your letters receiv-
ed. ! have also one from Bray ton saying
that Dennis was mad at mo when he re.
turned, and was saying he would tell
what he knew. Now, he don't know
much, only that I talked TO him about
getting Elliott OF, hnt it was not done.
Brayton says he shamed him out of it.
Now he is mad because he was not ap-
pointed Collector or Postmaster. but
there isgno danger of him. He don't
know mich. and if told it.vould do no
harm. But If he could eaye mis- neck by
telling on Others he would do it. The
Democrats are after LiiIi more than mo.
But do not say one word about it, as it
will only exasperse hiL1. From what
Judge Bacon writes me and NIL hear, I
do not think they want 10 injure me- /
mean the Democrats. Some Republi-
cans might want . 10 it to save them
selves. Hoge q aud Bacon both say
Cochran is not 30 wicked, against me. If
Parker's books for 187t-1872 are gone
they. can findjout very little. 1: doinot
think either you or will have any trou-
BILE. My family is up at Montery, a. de-
lightful, cool place. was up there on
Sunday. Rawlins was here yesterday.
l hear nothing new about your place;
and think Hayes ana Sherman will keen
their word to let you alone. BY the way
Carpenter has not gone home yet, and is
at New York. Well, he don't seem to
care for any one but himself. Early
writes me that Trescott says McCrady
will beappointed u. sS. District Attor-
ney. Write to ME often as I, will stny
here.
Yours truly, PArrEnsoN.
