The MOrey Letter a Forgery.

The New York Truth to-day publishes an
open letter 10 Gen. Garfield, acknowledging
the Morey Chinese letter TO be forgery. say
Ing: This acknowledgment Is due TO
you from the journal in which the letter
first appeared. Ii is made voluntarily,
and as an act OF simple justice. for while
we believed as we did until within a few
weeks past that you were the author OF the
letter, no bribe could tempt nor threat intimi-
date US into making contrary statement.
Having ascertained, however, our error, IL is a
qualification TO US TO give the same prominence
TO this Acknowledgement that we gave TO the
forged letter itself, and thereby make all the
amends In our power for wrong OF which the
Truth was an unconscious instrument.
Upon the instant that our Investigations con-
v1nced us the letter was spurious we privately
Informed you or our conclusion. At that time
We were advised that the ends or justice might
be impeded by public avowal such as we now
make, but, as Will appear 10 an appendix letter
from b. g. Jayne, esq, that consideration no
longer exists, and We do to-day what an observ-
ance OF the principles upon which the Truth was
established, and by which IL has been con-
Quoted, would have impeiled us 10 do imme-
diately upon discovering that the letter was
forgery, and which nothing could have then
prevented but the desire 10 fasten the guilt
where 1t belonged. The Truth published
the letter In good faith, believing that you
neither temptation, threats nor force could in
iuence US 10 repudiate 1t. Likewise having
satisfied ourselves OF its spurious character, no
false PRIDE nor Sell-motlye OF any kind can re-
strain US from announcing our conclusion, and
thereby allaying the doubt that now exists re-
spectiDg its authenticity.
Yours respectfully, TRUTH"
The letter of b. G. Jayne, referred to In the
above. addressed to Hart, the publisher of
Truth, concludes as follows: "Fully understand
ing the imposition practiced upon you by GER
tain members of the national democratic CON-
mittee upon whose assurances you relied with
regard TO the genulneness OF the letter, and
knowing how earnestly you have worked to as
certain the authorship OF the fraud by following
every clew that seemed to lead to its solution,
and fully appreciated your oftrepeated dec
laration that your emily wish In the premi-
truth, 1 deem that In justice TO all concerned
that the time has come when you should say
the letter was q forgery. for with proofs In your
possession there can be little doubt as TO the

must have its influence on the minds OF
the Young, to have liquor saloons, how
ever gorgeous and attractive, described IN
the statutes as nuisance" There Is
much in n name. Men must feel less
temptation to put the bottle TO their

the Courts hold over them the menace OF
the Penitentiary. Doubtless there - Il

Our Government is one of law, and Is en-
dangered when the citizens cease to re-
spect their own legislation. 1t brings
contempt upon all our laws to have some
of them disregarded The Legislature is
supposed to reflect the popular will, and
when it DEGREES certain punishment Tor
the crimes of 1um-selling, there ought
never to be occasion for the question,
"Will the law be enforced?" This is the
same thing as to ask, "Will the State
keep its solemn threats against those who
disturb its peace ?" VIII the people deal
with public enemies as hey hare dcctGr-
ed they ,cW through their representa-
tives?" 1t is our disgrace that anybody.
should ever doubt it. Let every good
citizen speak, vote and act in accordance

Secretary Sherman CT tho Condition Of the
Country.


AT a reception rendered 10 SECRETARY John
Sherman by the members Of the Ohio Legs
lature after his election As United States Sen
a,or at Columbus on Tuesday. iir. Sherman
made little speech, in which he took the
following cheerful view of the condition
of the country anl especially of the South.
He said:
The political questions that now divide the
American people are assuming a less danger
Gus aspect. In times gone by there was
some excuse for political anmasities, bitter
aud violent controversies when there were
questions involving the credit of the mon,
public honor and National power, but after
u lapse of 20 years, nearly all these questions
have been settled. Ii is settled that the gov
ernment will enforce in every part OF our
country any law which shall receive the sane
ton OF the supreme Court. Questions OF
public honor will not much longer be dis
cusscd. Indeed, II We could feel the assur
ance given in party platforms, as put in the
provisions OF the Constitution of the United
States, that every man shall have equal
rights regardless OF color or condition,
then all dangers that threaten the
country have disappeared and be-
licvc that happy time has come. lhe
South, which has been cursed i'll great part
by slavery, Is about To he developed IN
wealth and population. We have been sur
priscd by the returns of the census from the
South, but We may expect new surprises,
aud when We become reconciled 10 the great
change that has occurred in their condition
expect 10 see happy South adding 10 our
wealth, population and energy, aud con
tributing all the great staples That add to our
wealth and production. | regard nay Coun-
try higher than my State. The whole land
