Last week we published an Item from Lne
Globe Democrat, referring to recent suit
against r. L. Lindsay, ESQ.,, for damages, on
the alleged offense of having fraudulently &C.
knowled 5ed a deed, as notary public. In
justice to Mr.. Lindsay (although not at his
request), we now publish his explanation of
the affair in private letter to us. Says
he: 81 have read the item copied from the
GlObe-Democrat, and remarks. l have no
recollection of ever being 'cOrnered' on any
thing ever did. There was 70 corner in this
case. 1t was simply case of imposition
that is all. have known you for many years,
and if you should introduce party to me and
say you wanted his acknowledgment taken to
a deed, would not hesitate for moment to
certify it. This was the case in point. The
introduction was from parties whom / knew
through respectable channels. Bissell is
son-in-law of Mr. w. r. Samuels, President of
Huntsville Bank, (Mo.); is also related to
Web. NJ. Samuels here, President of Mer-
chants Exchange, and is an ex-officer OF the
U. S. navy. He was a special acquaintance OF
the Hammits of Randolph county, Mo-, and OF
Hammit, State Tobacco Inspector. So, that
l stood all right in the suit here, so far as
any bad faith is concerned. The same thing
can occur with any notary"
A new depot will shortly be built at Pilot

sound, as this private and candid
letter of a soldier to a soldier. One
sole purpose breathes through
every line-a quiet determination
to meet like n man. an American
soldier and an American citizen, the
dread and unprecedented response
bilities which at that time seemed
to be impending over all military
officers of this country in high
command. In such n letter as this,
which unbosoms in the confidential
counsel of one soldier with another,
the Utmost convictions Of the writer
IA letter which its author when he
wrote it had no reason to dream
would ever become public--the real
man appears and commands the
instructive confidence and respect
of every hon est citizen of the Re-
public. This letter was written,
not on the eve of nomination, but
on the morrow Of an election. No
spirit of self seeking, no desire TO
win notoriety or to attract the at
tention Of politicians as an avail
able candidate, entered or could
have entered the writer's mind. He
was thinking neither Of Mr.. Tillcn
or of Mr.. Hayes. neither of party
ends nor Of personal ends. He was
thinking only Of his own duty as
an American soldier, and Of the
maintenance of liberty and the
laws. This letter which within the
next fortnight will be read by every
voter in the United States, will lend
as bright and as enduring a lustre
to the name Of its writer, rs his
most splendid achievements in the
field.

Hancock TO Sherman.

A story was recently put in cir
eulation BY the Republican press OF
the country to the effect that Gen,
Hancock, during the exciting period
which interviewed between the close
of the election of 1875 and the es-
adjustment Of the Electoral Com
mission, had expressed his intcn-
ton, in case Of dead lock between
the two houses Of Congress over the
electoral count, to take his ord ers
from Mr.. Tilden, and thus rccol-
nize him as President, and that he
had stated his determination in n
letter to Gen. Sherman, General
Hancock was interviewed in regard
to the statements alleged to have
been made by him, lie replied
thnt he was perfectly willing that
any letter which he had ever
written should be published, but
us the letter referred to was sent to
Gen. Sherman, it would first be
necessary To obtain Gen. sherman s
consent TO its publication. The
editor of the New York World sent
special messenger to General
Sherman, explaining the circum-
stances, and asking him whether he
would consent to the publication OF
the letter expressly on the ground
that false and libcllous misrepresen-
tations Of ii, intended 70 injurc

were wildly current in the party
press. After some trouble General
sherman was finally reached on the

II very frank and soldier-likc tclc-
Gram to the editor of the World,
stating that all General Hancock )
letters to him, both private and
official, were at Washington, where
he expected To be about the first of
August, and that on his return hc
would gladly allow copies of amy
or all Of them which General Han
cock might designate to be taken,
with full permission for their pub

added that he recolleeted nothing
like what he saw published about

from Mr.. Tilden-" nothing like it.

furnished the World copy Of the
letter for publication. The letter

PETERSBURG, April lS.-The forest
fires which have been raging in this Vi
cinity for the past week, have become
uncomfortable. The flames are plainly
visible here. Barns and stables in large
numbers have been destroyed. In many
instances farmers have lost crops, horses,
farming implements, and a number
os cabins were burned, the occupants
barely escaping with their lives. The
destruction to cordwood timber is i'm
mense.
In Prince George county the fire has
been very destructive, invading or
chards and destroying hundrds OF fine
trees. Ii is feared that, unless an early
rain occurs, the fire will destroy the rail-
road bridges and telegraph poles.
NORFOLK, Va, April lS.-Passengers
report destructive fires along the line OF

Several dwellings have been burned in

The explosion occurred in the packing

About 6OOO pounds were in the room,
and all the victims were blown tOatOms.
There were six houses inside the works,
and all blown to sliyers, ,butthe workmcn
in them escaped, except one man in the
magazine, no trace of whom was found.
Outside Of the works are six houses, in
