The MoREY CHINESE LETTER--The
reader will remember that upon the
appearance in print of what purported
to be letter of Mr.. Garfield involving
the question of the employment Of
Chinese labor, just before the close OF
the late Presidential campaign, it was
at once denounced as a forgery, and a
prosecution was commenced against
an alleged forger, with a great flourish
of Radical trumpets. Since the elec.
tion the prosecution has Jagged, When
inquired OF why he did not prosecute
the suit, the Chairman of the Republi.
can National Committee declared the
reason TO be that he had no money.
But the money was promptly furnish
ed by leading Democrat, upon condi.
tion Of honest efforts to find out the
real author Of the letter Now word
comes that the prosecution of those at
present under arrest is to be dismissed
and no other instituted The truth
seems to be that the letter has been
traced to the author, but that is not
pleasant to Republican officials to ad.
nit that James A. Garfield is that au.
thor The action of the Republican
leaders can not be accounted for in any
other way.-CiiRton Democrat

OTHER TESTIMONY


General John \ Logan, one Of the
Grant boomers, and a United States
Senator from lllinois, loyal to the core,
has frequently been charged with rails.
ing u regiment for the rebel army in
southern Illinois ut the breaking out
OF the rebellion, Two weeks ago, on
the floor Of tho Senate, he took par
ticular pains to dcny this piccc Of his
tory, We then believed he was lying,
aud we are now convinced that he did
lie We, therefore, introduce General
Steedman, of Toledo, Ohio, as wit.
ness. The General is the editor Of tho
Toledo Democrat, aud was one OF the
real fighting Generals of the army,
lie has this to say about the Logan
affair in his last issue:
General John A. Logan has denied,
and repeated the denial in the United
States Senate that ho was ever in sym
pathy with the rebellion. If he did
not organize men in Illinois to aid the
rebels his own brother lies, whom we
heard tell President J Johnson, in Spring,
field, ILL.,, in the presence Of General
MoClernand and ourself that General
Logan sent him into the rebel army.
If Logan was not persuaded by Col.
w. A, Richardson out of the intention,
with his men, to attack a regiment Of
Union soldiers at "Big Muddy Bridge,
Col. Richardson slandercd him outra.
goously, for Richardson told US at the
Democratic National Convention in
New York, in 1868, that he rode one
hundred and fifty miles to see Logan
and dissuado him from attacking the
Union soldiers, and that after labor
ed effort he succeeded.
We heard Gen. Stephen A, NEGRO.
arty, between Chattanooga and Nash.
Vile in 1864, while lying on a pallet
in the car with his arm cut off, accuse
Logan to his face, of expressing strong
sympathy with the Rebellion, in his
conversations in Washington,
If Logan was not strongly in sym.
pathy with the rebels at the beginning
Of the war, and until after he returned
from Richmond, his position has been
misrepresented more than that Of any
other man in this country,

A Coon LAw-PdSS H-We notice
that our State Senate has passed a bill
to punish merchants, or other persons,
for selling or giving minor children
pistols, gunpowder, or other explo.
sives We hope the bill will pass the
House too. A twelve.year old boy has
no more right TO carry a loaded pistol
secreted in his pocket than a bottle Of
whisky. Both cases should be treated
ms crime, and the boy who obtains
either intoxicating liquors or pistols
through fraud or Misrepresentation,
should be punished equally with the
giver or seller Put both on the same
footing and then the law will be pro.
nounccd good.

WORSE THAN A SHoT.dUN.-The ab.
hored shotgun isn't the worst intimi.

sponse to an interviewer the other day.
"With shotgun" said the General,
"you influence but one vote, but the
manufacturers influence thousands Of
votes by the meanest kind of intimida.
ton" He was referring particularly
TO Massachusetts, The same thing is
true, however, Of all the manulaotur.
ing districts. As the General reitera.
ted ut is more disastrous to free
vote than thousands of shot.guns.
General Butler has served long enough
in public life to render a true verdict
