HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 23, 1880.
Dear Sir:-Your favor was received. would
bill such you suggest but ivtk the present Demo-
cratic House pension bills do not hare much Jdvor
1t has become almost impossible to get consideration
Of such bill at al, and when considered its chance
of passing the House is very remote, and the Rebel
General ,cho is at the head the Pension Committee
81 sen Il Vsf win not b ss al prSSss SS
therefore, that the bill can be got through.
+. E. BELrzHoovER.
Now this is an entirely truthful letter. 1t
states the exact facts, just as every intelligent
man understands them, concerning the tenn
per of the present Congress, under the leader
ship of the Rebel Brigadiers. 1t Is only amaz-
ing as coming from Democratic Congressman
AN official leader in the party that is appeal
ing to Northern sold iers to vote for Hancock.
Poor Beltzhoover discovers the preposterous
inconsistency too late, and now declares the
letter forgery. His friend, the Philadelphia
Chronicle-Herald, tells him that this is not
enough-he must straightway sue the local
fishing it, and prove his case before election In
the courts. The advice is admirable.
But, Mr.. Beltzhoover, don't sue in a small
way. The Tribune published the letter. Sue
us. Sue us at once, and get the matter to an
immediate trial Sue for hundred thousand
dollars. That is the smallest sum any black
guard asks of us for telling the truth about
him to his hurt. Don't you sue for penny
less. And that you may have no trouble in
proving the essential facts of our offence, We
herewith repeat it in detail.
We say you did write the letter. You wrote
it to E. w. Curriden, of Chambersburg. You
wrote all of it, text and signature. You lied,
when you said it was forgery. You lied,
knowingly and deliberately, hoping to deceive
your constituents. You did not then know
that we had the original, and you thought you
could lie your way through.
There, Mr.. Beltzhoover: there's your mate
rial for libel suit. Now come along with it,
Let the Carlisle Herald alone. Sue the Trib-
ma.

Whatever may be thought Of the politi-
cal campaign elsewhere, every lover of
good government and common honesty
should hope for the defeat Of the unholy
political combination in Maine which
brought disgrace upon that reputable State
last year. We have heard prominent Dem
ocrats express the same sentiment, their
disgust for the folly of the Garcelon crowd
overcoming all party feeling. If the peo-
pie of Maine do not rise up and rebuke the
political cut-throats whose infamous rec
ord caused every SON of Maine to blush we
snail lose our faith i'm natural lnw.-BosroN

lures the robe and laurels of the presidency.
