We publish the following commu.
nicatiOn with pleasure from Secretary
Of State Myers. We are glad to know
that Mr.. Myers proposes to make a
square fight on the charges advanced
by General Chalmers, for while we be-
lieve that the Secretary of State is
fully competent to protect his 'henor
and integrity" it is due to the party
that he should do his utmost to refute
the charges contained in Chalmers
petition. The Secretary writes as
fellows:

issue of yesterday to be 80 much dis.
turbed about my honor and integrity,
and that Of the party which l am sup.
posed to represent, that | have deter
mined to write and endeavor to
relieve your mind. You ray:
I'm his petition to the Court, Gen
eral Chalmers charges that Mr..
Myers, the Secretary Of State,
fraudulently concealed and suppressed
certain returns of the election held
10 the Second Congressional Dis
krict. We hope that the report
that Mr.. Myers proposes to demur
10 the jurisdiction Of the court is erro
neous and that he will take issue with
Chalmers on this statement. 1t is a
question in which the honor of the
Secretary Of State and the integrity Of
the party which he is supposed 10
represent is involved. If these
charges are nottrue, Mr.. Myers should
court an Investigation, instead Of
eudeavoring to prevent it. We are
aware Of the fact that these charges
have been made all over the State,
and if they are false, the party should
have an opportunity to contradict
them"
To tho charge, | answer most en-.

truth in it. So far as an investigation
is concerned, | court the fullest Of
