STATEMENT OF THE ATTORNEY FOR TRUTH
Especial Dispatch to The Boston Journal
New YORK, Jan. 4. In relation to the
so-called confession" published in Truth
to-day in regard to the Morey letter forgery,
B. u. Jayne, who has been employed by
Truth to investigate the case, gave at length
that papers side of the case tonight. 1.-The
Garfield letter" said he, twas conceived by
a group of men who met frequently at the
Astor House, this city, among whom were
Stllson Hutchins of the Washington Post,
Colonel ii. II. Hadley and Colonel Ian
ergan, private detective. The envelope
which contained the letter was sent By Cen
eral Garfield to Lanergan. inclosing sample
of seeds, which Lanergan had asked Gen.
Garfield to procure for him from the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Col Lanergan's name
and his address, No. 81 Nassau street, it is
claimed. have been developed from the eras-
ures on the envelope by means of the cam
era; and the word seeds" together with
Gen. Garheld's frank, nave been discovered
in the corner of the envelope by the same
means. Ii is also said that the letter was
offered to the Sun ten days before it was
published in Truth, but that paper pro-
nouhteu IL forgery. Inc puDllSher OF
Truth claims to have submitted the letter to
the Democratic National Committee, and to
have had assurances of its genuineness from
Messrs. Barnum, Smalley, Hewitt, Scott and
Cleveland, and also Speaker Randall. Had
ley is sad to have convinced the committee
of its genuineness. 1t rs also asserted tina,
the man who drafted the latter is known.
and that several members of the Democratic
Committee are known to have been aware of
the intention of the clique to issue the forg-
cry. Philip was only a scape goat. Hutch
ms and Hadley are said TO have arranged
the Massachusetts end of the story about
the Morey family. 1t is claimed that the
Weaver letter was forged by the same per
son as the Garfield letter The person who
sent the former letter 10 the star has been

THURSDAY. JANUARY g. 1881.
Senator Hale.

1t is needless to say that the selection of
Hen. Eugene Hale as the successor to Hon
Hannibal Hamlin in the Senate of the United
States is exceedingly gre'!fing TO his friends
IN this section, and espe sally so, in view Of
the fact that he was so bly, supported by
leading men in the party f.. )m nearly all parts
of the State. The desire to strengthen the
Maine delegation in Congress. as well as the
desire to reward an able and efficient public
servant, served to obliterate local feelings and
to unite in his support men from the west
and central, with those from the eastern
is of the State.
/. Hamlin, who has served his country
1st faithfully for a much longer period
nan falls to the lot Of most men, will retire
on the 4th of March, esteemed by his oppo-
nents as well as his own party throughout
the country.
1t has been known for some time that Mr.
Hamlin desired to retire from public life at
the close Of his senatorial term, and the
large experience of Mr.. Hale coupled with
his services to the State last winter made
him especially acceptable to the people as
Mr.. Hamlin'S successor.
Mr. Hale is the second Of the name in
the United States Senate, the first being
Hon. John P. Hale, of New Hampshire,
remembered as one of the most able cham
pions of the Free Soil doctrine, in that
body.
Mr.. Hale's election on the 18th. now as
sured, will retain. for Maine, the strength
in the Senate of which the State has long
and justly been proud, while Mr.. Frye and
Mr.. Reed, in the House, are very properly
regarded as the leaders of the party in that
branch Of our National Legislature.

The Governor Question.

So far as we can judge of public senti-
ment the majority of the Republicans (of
the Legi>lature) will favor the theory that
the plurality amendment. as adopted in the
September election, shall apply to the count
ing Of the votes, and in that case there is
little doubt that Gen. PIaisted will be de-
clared duly elected as Governor of the State.
- ElsW0Yth -imericdR.
We had supposed that the Legislature
would be governed by lar rather than by
theory" and it is a decided novelty to find
newspapers suggesting that sworn legisia-
tive body viii make its estimate of :spublic
sentiment the basis of theory" of action.
instead of aseerteeiiHlng its duty under the
= o1stitution. The eagerness TO put Plaisted
into the Governorship before the official
returns have even been opened might surely
be restrained within the limits of the Consti-
tuition Bangor Wing.
The Wing is little previous" in its re-
marks on an article in which we supposed
We were giving the opinion held by the ma
jority of the Republicans IN the State and
of the members elected to the Legislature.
Ii was not given as our opinion of the
subject under consideration, but of public
sentiment, and while the Legislature may
hold to the theory that the plurality amend
ment IS the lar by which it must be gov
'''''9 may hold the opposite the
not regard the question
ny we have faith - be-
.gislators will not act I'M
az=qzm after.
There are Very good reasons for not bur
dening the Court with the settlement Of
party disputes, and at the same time it is
highly important that the Republicans
should make no mistake in the settlement
Of so q a question.
We believe our Legislators fully realize
this and are more DESTROYS Of following the
lar, than adapting measures of expediency,
regardless Of law.
The insinuation by the Commercial that
the article first given expressed the views OF
Mr. Hale, may or may not be true. We
have never asked Mr. Hale's views on this
subject, nor has he ever given them to US,
nor do we know what his views are. We
presume that he has full faith in the ability
Of the party to settle the question correctly
and therefore with safety to the future OF
our State.

IHE CoMET.-Tho comet was first
seen in Winnsboro on Sunday evening
at about nine O'Clock. It. was in the
Northern sky not far above the hori-
zon, and both nucleus and tail were
plainly visible. 1t is not expected to
be visible many nights longer. No
one expected this celestial visitor, and
astronomers have not yet definitely
decided whether it is stranger or al,
old friend. The New York Herald
says it is probably tho comet Of 1907,
which it was thought would not re-
turn for nineteen hundred years.
Those astronomers were pretty badly
out in their estimates if this is the
same body. The earth passed through
tho plane of the comets orbit on tho
10Th, and Prof. Parkhurst says if the
comet had been little faster and had
collidcd with the earth, and had been
OF nitroglycerine, Mother Shipton's
prophecy about tho end Of tho world
would have been verified. All fear OF
comets has passed away. They arc such
gaseous light substances that stars can
be scon through them, and the whole
concern, tail and all, does not weigh
rs much as q good sized cannon ball. .
