The Mercy Forgery-ssTruth'' Promises a
 Full Revelation-Tal<fngt the Guilt Or
 Philip.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-TratM promises to place all the evidence in it's possession before the public, showing that the Garfield Mercy Chinese letter is forgery. In continuation of the plan adopted, the paper will publish tomorrow fac-simile of the original Mercy letter purporting to have been written by General Garfield and fac-simile of the let ter published in the New York Star October 24th, two days after, purporting to have been written by General Wea- yer. the Greenback candidate for President, under date of September B, 1880, and addressed to Hon. E. A. Gillette. It will be remembered that General Weaver em- phatically denied the authenticity of the let ter and disavowed the sentiments expressed, which were that Republican Greenbackers would largely return to the old party, and the chief hope of the Greenback canvass was in the breaking up of the Democratic party, also that fusion in Maine would only inure to the success of the Democratic party, etc., etc. The fac-similes of the two letters will be published in juxtaposition to each other and Truth will say:
 Compare these documents, citizens. Did not the same hand write them both? One of them was first printed in the New York St0r, the other in Truth Did Kenward Philip write the Mercy letter ?'' It is explained in a leading editorial article that the Sto2. received the Weaver letter through the mail, enclosed in another letter. ITaSth says it requires no expert testimony to convince whoever sees them that one and the same hand wrote them both. The circumstances attending the reception of the letters with those that enclosed them render it inn possible that Kenward Philp should have written them. Who did write them, where were they written and who possessed at least one of them before 1t came into the 7ruM office we shall prove beyond per adventure. Truth claims it has received no assistance from the Republican National committee, government officials nor other outside parties in tracing out the forgery. and that it has performed the work as an act of justice to General Garfield The proofs when submitted will, it is said, be conclusive and complete.

To Re Argued.

The case of the Northampton R. R. Go. against State Attorney Hammersley of Hart ford county comes upin the United States Su- preme Court, it being continuance of the Huntsville station litigation. The plaintiffs claim that when the railroad commissioners permitted them to abandon the Huntsville station, which the Legislature and courts com pelled them to continue, it constituted con- tract which the subsequent action of the State impaired. The State Attorney claims the so- called contract was not 8 civil one, and that the commissioners had no power except that conferred upon them by law. The obliga- tion was merely to refrain from exercising cer- tain power to compel the corporation to fur nish necessary facilities to the public. The acts were purely governmental The State has the legal right to make the company es- tablish station at any point, and is the judge of the necessity. The Legislature mere- ly imposed an additional burden which the plaintiff company agreed might be imposed when it received its charter. John R. Buck appears for the State.
