To The Editor of The National Republican;
Sir: On the assembling Of the Supreme
Court of the District yesterday morning Mr..
Eugene Carusi one Of the counsel for the Dis.
trict arose aud read an article published in
tho Sunday Chronicle to the Judge aud jury,
and indirectly charged me with the author
shin Of said article, and that the said article
was written to influence the jury.
During the long continuance OF my case
have RETAINED from speaking TO any one of
the jury, nor have / mentioned tho case to
Judge Wylie, whom l have known for thirty
years.
have produced witnesses to prove my case
against the District, and impoverished my
means to get tho money which l had earned
by hard labor. | have never published any
articles IN tile newspapers, for | have always
believed the jury would do me justice without
rcsorting TO any outside pressure. have good
reason now to believe that this man, Eugene
Carusi, had this article published himself for
effect. He is not only counsel for the District
against me, hut is my personal enemy. Ho
has exhibited tho blacklist ingratitude toward
me. l had him appointed special auditor
against tho wishes of my attorneys, he promis-
ing to decide II in two weeks, and kept IL
eighteen months. | hired the clerk for him.
aud paid him 5000 During This time fed
him on apples aud oysters, and while the BIZ
valves listed ho always wore grin for me-
but when tho supply gave out the milk of hui
man kindness dried up in mis- bosom, aud there
was nothing lie could say too mean for me.
To show the animus of this Amcricanized

the case; but now he was going IN, pay or no pay;
that he allowed Strong $4,000 on the Slash Run

one dollar; aud that he knew more about that case
than any other living man. G. f. kirk.

National Theatrs--Ada Cavendlsh.
Quite large and very fashionable audience
welcomed Miss Ada Cavondish at tho National
Theatre last evening. The fair actress was
most. heartily,received, and,by her beauty, bril-
lancy and talents captivated her hearers from
the very start Miss Cavendish had chosen
for her initial appearance the part of Beatrice In
Much AdoAbout Nothing" and herimperson-
alton Of this most fascinating OF all of Shake
speare's women stamps her q true artist. Al
though she Is beautiful aud surrounded by
all the enhancing accessories of rich and
tasteful toilet conscious that her personal
charms Of themselves create pleasing i'm
preston sho has that rare gift, that distin-
gushing characteristic of real genius, of los
ing her own indentlty in that of the charac-
ter she assumes. In tho arch coguctting with
Benedict in tho manifestation of the first
symptoms of the divine passion in her mag
nihcout indignation at the wrong inflicted
upon her cousin Hero, in the confession OF her
love to Benedict, and In the final surrender to
the man of her choice, 1t was not the actress
VIC saw, but the great poets own creation Of
merry, teasing, loving, truc-hearted woman.
1t was-but natural that sho completely swayed
her audience in her different moods, and the
general enthusiasm which reached its height
during the splendid scene in tho foHrth act,
found vent at last in prolonged applause and
repeated calls before tho curtain. Mr.. Percy

Clvendish the honors Of the evening, for he
played the part with spirit and grace. The
other members of the company did not dis
tingush themselves sufficiently to mort
special notice. This evening Miss Cavondsh
appears rs Mercy Mcrrick in the dramatizalion
of Wilkie Collins famous novel, Tho New
MagdUlen." As Beatrice Is the porsonifcation
of jOyousness, 50 Mercy Merrck presents the
very embodiment OF mental grief aud despair,

SHERMAN VS.. BOYNTON.
The Controversy Bet,ceen the General of
the Arnry and u Washington Correspond

The Controversy Bet,ceen the General of
the drn,u and u Washtngton Correspond
ent.
Washington Special.
The three cornered controversy between
the Cleveland Leader, Gen. Sherman and
Gen. Boynton has not as yet assumed such
shape that it has been transferred to the
courts. Gen. Boynton, however, is having
the preliminaries arranged to commence suit
at once. There is no new phase of the case,
except the fact that when Gen. Boynton read
the interview IN the Cleveland Leader,
wherein Sherman was reported as having
said that "for $1,000 he would SANDER
his own mother" he inclosed a slip of the
publication and sent it to Sherman, with a
letter requesting to be advised if he (Sher-
man) was correctly advised, and whether he
was responsible for the statements contained
in the Leader interview. Sherman replied
in sharp note, assuming full responsible
ty for the statements, and supplemented the
same with other caustic sentences. Having
thus admitted the genuineness of the
Leader interview, Boynton concluded to
sue Sherman for SANDER. In view
of this fact General Boynton, acting
under legal advice, declines to make
public the Sherman letter. For reasons best
known to himself Sherman also declines to
make it public; but he is reported to have
said that the publicity of the letter should be
with Boynton, and that he dared Boynton to
give it to the press-nay, dared Boynton to
make it public, as he wished it to appear In
print. To gentleman who called on Sher-
man touching this letter, the Gold man.
spoke with a good deal of earnestness.
Said he: why don't Boynton print
my letter? I give him my permits
sion." Then going to the official letter
press book of his Office he turned to where
the copy was impressed and said: "There
IS the copy. It is in the official record, and
if the letter is not printed it will live in the
files of the Office of the general of the army
after am dead and gone" General Boyn-
ton, your correspondent knows, has no
desire to deny the letter publicity other
than this: If suit for SANDER is
entered against Sherman, and the
lstter's. letter should be made public
through Boynton's volition, he is advised by
his attorneys that, having himself given
publicity to letter which is also alleged to
be slanderous, such an act on~his part would
initiate against his case. Hence he declines
to make it public, and in fact, in view of his
intention to sue, to permit himself to be in
terviewed touching the controversy. Sher-
man, too, will only say that he has expressed
his sentiments in his letter to Boynton, and
