THE GARFIELD-HUBB BRADY
LETTER AND HOW IT CAME
TO BE WRITTEN.

In addition to the explanation author
lied by the President of his letter of Au-
gust %, 1880, to Mr.. j. A. Hubbel,
chairman of the Republican Congress
ional Committee, the Post will to-mor-
row print the following, which it is un-
derstood is the explanation furnished by
members of the committee now in Wash
ington. including MIR. Dorsey
After the government clerks, messen-
gers, scrub women and common laborers
had been assessed three times and the
money wrupg from them was nearly all
spent Congressman Hubbell bethought
himself of the star mail contractors, and
with the industry and sagacity for which
he is noted made his way to the Office Of
the Second Assistant Postmaster General
Brady, and laid the case before him.
The committee wanted money. All
branches of the public service had been
tapped but the mail contractors, and the
demand for "soap" was still urgent. In
diana had to be bought, and the army of
negro colonists and black and white bal
lot box suffers. precinct workers, detec-
tiyes, clerks, stump speakers and special
agents supported for nearly two months.
Brady knew who could afford to be tapp-
ed and just how much of a drain they
could stand, and consequently Mr.. Hub
bell expected him to cooperate with him
Immediately and efficiently. To his great
surprise General Brady refused to COM
ply with his request. Hubbell urged and
Brady still stubbornly refused. Finally,
however, Brady consented to act, pro-
vided the President, Mr.. Hayes, would
autho him to do so in writing. This
Mr.. Hayes declined to do. The method
was too VIGOROUSLY illegal. Gen. Brady
was again appealed to, and again refused
to act either directly or indirectly. The
pressure grew stronger as the need fol
money became more urgent, and it was
at last agreed that if Candidate Garfield
would write him BRADY to do so he
would in some roundabout way under
take the job. The amount required, or,
at least, expected, was $25, 900, although
at one time $40, GOO was the figure con
templated. The next step was to induce
Candidate Garfield to make the request
and accordingly letter was written hin
by Congressman Hubbell in which ht
was informed that if he would ask Gen
errl Brady in writing to raise the money
required, or any part of it, out of his de
partment, the request would be aceede(
to. General Garfield held the matte
ed him at Mentor, laid it before him an,
asked his advice. Dorsey's opinion, a
1t Is now reported, was that it was dan
gerous proceeding, and, hence, instea,
of writing to Brady, as Hubbell advised
the result was that General Garfield in
dicated and sent to Hubbell the lette
that yesterday was made public for tht
first time. Its text is as folIows:-

DIRECT TO YORKTOWN. - Mr.. Smith,
the general manager of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, says that the road to
Yorktown will be completed in time to
carry passengers to the centennial. All

been completed, or soon will be. The

For some time serious doubts have been
entertained about the ability of the road
to complete the new lines tn time for

satisfied that there will be no obstacle
in the way of accomplishing that object.
This will tend to make the celebration
greater success, and was really the
greatest drawback to the project antici-
! pated.

The Mail of the World.

The Frankfurter Volkszeitung pub
fishes statistics of the postal service of
the world. In 1865 the number of let
ters sent through the post all over the
world was estimated 100000. The
available data for 1877 show that the
postal correspondence had risen over
1920, 100000, which gives an average of
100000 letters per day, or 1877 per
second. Europe contributed 3,O36, ,O00-
600 letters to this enormous mass of cor
respondence America about 6O,O00,-
600; Asia, 150,O0O,OOO: Africa, 25,-
100000, and Austria in 50,0O0,O0O. As
suming that the population of the
globe was between 1900, 10000 and
1, 400, 100000, this would give an aver
age Of three letters per head for the
entire human race. The length of tel
egraph lines, both by sea and land,
must be at least 100000 kilometres
(437, 800 miles, notreckoning the double

telegraph stations, and the number of

nearly 212 per minute. These quanti-

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
An Old Minister Is Mistaken for an Editor
and Assaulted,

and Assaulted.
Yesterday old uncle Winglop, a time
honored preacher, who has preached
among the hills for forty years, and
who in his younger days was known as
the "wheel-horse exhorter," came to
town and called at the Gazette office.
"My son George" said uncle Jesse to
the political man, "has just graduated
from the old Red Bluff Academy, and
after sauntering around among the pro-
fessions, peeping into lawyer offices and
poking around doctor shops and not
being satisfied, he has concluded to
learn the editing business. know how
much fun has been made of men who
want to be editors, but of course un-
derstand all that. At first I'd like for
George to take hold of the religious de-
partment, for you know that I can help
him some. I've got four or five old SER
mons that I'd like to run in-old SER
mons preached long before men thought
of getting out new Testaments. Now,
don't ridicule the idea"
"Uncle JESSE" replied the political
man with something like sigh, "we'll
hold a cabinet meeting some time dur
ing the present week, when your sons
case will be considered 1t is encoura-
ging to see that church members are
seeking journalism, and l have no doubt
but that George will be of advantage to
us. But must go to dinner now. just
sit down here among the exchanges and
amuse yourself until I return"
The editor went down, and the old
man took out his spectacles and began
handling papers, with newly-awakened
idea of Importance. The editor had not
been gone but few moments when q
burly looking man entered the editorial
room, and seeing the minister sur
rounded by ruffied landscape of badly
handled papers, exclaimed
>"All ask of you is to let me shake
the Little Rock dust from my feet. Do
you hear, you spectacled fragment of a
mortgaged menagerie?"
"What do you mean?' exclaimed the
old man in surprise.
s.Juss les me shake this dust off, you
gaping whipperwill of fat-footed igno-
rance. Slander man as you did me
this morning and then say you don't
know what he meansf'
81 never said word about you in my
life, SIR"
"Let me shake off this dust and then
you can slash and slather my memory.
Nice old stretcher of the truth !''
'sDo you mean that 1 have lied, sir ?"
81 do"
The old man hoped across the room
and grappled the insulter. The fight
was earnest and terrible, and when the
editor came back the top of the old mans
head was smeared with ink and the in
sulter was lying in the hall.
"Sort of monkey and parrot time,
as the feller says" remarked the old
man. 81 say, I believe George will
change his mind. You needn't call that
cabinet meeting. Talk about relig-
ious department; you ought to have
sackful of horse pistols !'-Little Rock

Camilla.

Fatigued by modern bellies in town,
In country and suburban villa,
take my old school Virgil down,
And read the story of Camilla.
An exile king to mountain lair
Retreating bears his infant daughter;
Her nurture all fathers care,
Her lore-the forest-craft he taught her.
With tiny hand she bends the bow,
Around her tender waist culver,
And on her cheeks the crimson glow
That happiness and freedom give her.
She wears no bodice silken-laced,
No clouds OF Tyrian dye enfold her,
But tigress skin in savage taste
Depending from an ivory shoulder
No gold confines her raven hair,
The dear delight of mountain breezes,
1t floats untrammelled on the air,
Or hangs as happy nature pleases.
Twin buskins guard her fairy feet
From cruel flint and frosty weather.
Their tread so delicately fleet
AS scarce to bend the blooming heather
And roaming thus, a huntress child,
Like Dian's younger, fairer sister,
No game, however strong or wild,
In all the woodland could resist her.
At sweet sixteen Camilla won
Such peerless fame of budding beauty
That many mother urged her son
To lure the maid from filial duty
But when some youth OF courtly grace
Accosted her with lovers greeting,
She shook her arrows in his face,
And clapt her hands at his retreating.
SO dear to her those forest glades,
With virgin liberty to range them,
Her mountains with their wild cascades
She could not for apalace change them.
And so she kept, example rare
I'm pulc1tro corpore mems sana,"
For aged father all her care,
And all her kisses for Diana.
