THE WASHINGTON newspaper MURDER

The Barten.Soteldo case is now said to
have arisen out of the star-route frauds.
The Washington Republican was the organ
of the star-route thieves, and its black
guard editor, George Gorham, had been
for months abusing all who dared to prose-
cute his "pals" and employers. 1t is
alleged that the unfortunate Soteldo had
been instrumental in exposing some of the
star.route villanies, and that the gang was
"down" upon him, and employed its
organ to ruin him by publishing shameful
story of his debauchery. Whether the
story was true or not is very little to the
purpose. 1t was printed for the undoubted
purpose OF injuring Soteldo, and that the
motive of his assailants was malignant
enough ia shown in the fact that copies of
the paper containing the attack were care.
fully marked and mailed to his wife, Pre-.
cisely what Gorham's part in this dirty
business was, has not yet appeared. But
the whole story shows what manner of
paper the organ of the star-route thieves
is, and how thoroughly contemplate and
worthless its utterances on any conceivable
subject must be. The star.route thieves
made mistake when they thought that
their cause could be whitewashed by a
backing brush in the hands of Gorham.
the kind of journalism of which alone he
is capable has long since ceased to be
effective for anything better or higher than
the production of such occurrences as that
which took place the other day in his
office. As chronicle of the bagnio the
Washington Republican may succeed in
promoting murder, but az the champion of
the star.route thieves 1t will never prevent
an indictment, or prolong the journey of
its proprietors toward the penitentiary.

sHKRM AN,s LETTER.

Senator Sherman has written a letter,
stating that the recent account of Pitney's
testimony before the Treasury Investigat-
ing Committee was wholly and absolutely
false. He declares that Pitney gave no
such evidence as the report stated that
he produced no letters from Mr.. and Mrs.
Sherman that no such scene as was de.
scribed took place at all /; that The tele-
"gram is wholesale lie, as the testimony,
"when printed. will show" He refers to
Hale as permitting him to use his name in
confirmation of this denial. The question
thus becomes serious one, Who is re-
sponsible for the false reporti If a CORE.
spondent of the press, he ought to be dis
charged instantly. If politician, an
enemy OF Sherman, he ought to be exposed.
1t is monstrous outrage that so deliberate,
impudent and coolly- elaborated falsehood
should thus be telegraphed all over the
country, to the injury of public man.
and the press which was deceived into pub
fishing the lie is as much interested as
Sherman in discovering the authorship of
the Infamous act 1t is evident that Sher-
man has among his enemies some thorough.
paced scoundrels, who are ready to do
anything, however base and mean, that
may injure him. Such audacious calumnies,
however, invariably fail of their intended
effort, and when their short lives are ended
the objects of them are now to obtain the
sympathy of a public that detests such
sneaking and undetermined methods of at.
tack. A very little more of this kind of
persecution. in short, would give Sherman
"boom," though iust now he is not in

AN OPEN LETTER.
The San Francisco Board of Trade and
the Prosperity Of San Francisco.

(San Francisco Post
Mr.. G. j. Dempster, of the San Francisco
Board Ct Trade-Sir: The Quasi public char
acter in which you have appeared before the
Supervisors to voicethe opinions of the Board
of Trade upon the Ocean Shore franchise, per
mits, if it does not even invite, criticism. Is
propositions relative to underground and ele
waited railroads, which you were the bearer
of, may be passed by without notice-heing
as perfectly harmless az they are nonsensical;
but out of the mass of Indifferent matter pre-
sented comes an idea which, if you are re-
ported correctly, you cloths in the following
language: Let me say here, Mr.. Lloyd,
that no set Of men was ever more outraged
than the members of the Board Of Trade have
been by the Central Pacific, and the Central
Pacific could no more influence them than
you could il fuence the sum-"
The idea-inelegantly expressed. it is true.
but nevertheless appsrent-is that the notions
of the Central Pacific people and that of the
governing portion of the Board of Trade are
widely at variance as to the means by which
the prosperity of San Francisco is to be pro-
NOTED and her great natural advantages util.
lied in trade and commerce. If this conflict
of ideas is to eventuate in arraying the people
of the city on one side or the other, it may be
well to examine the support which can justly
be given to each side, SO that public opinion
may be properly directed and that each man
may find his place in the proper ranks and
under the aag which symbolic bis cause.
An observation extending over twelve years
last past convinces me that your statement
as to the influence which the Central Pacific
abroad people could have over Your Board
is correct. Your ways and theirs are differ
ent. Indeed, were l not advised by the fact.
l should be compelled, from the actions OF
each, to assign the existence OF your Board to
the railroad and the telegraph, aud to the
Central Pacific people pos ion well In adj
vance Of that age, but the stubborn fact re-
mains that you are contemporaries, and the
inquiry into your relative merits which you
invite ust be made in the light of the pre-
emit. Your acts have certainly been OF q
negative character, and their results are more
diff sult to determine thsn if your course had
been to do" instead Of to "prevent,n tut
this difficulty will not prevent the attempt
to do you full justice 10 the premises and to
give you the bene6t of all your Efforts.

long since admitted, w4s TO prevent the Cen

REDUCING IsrER,4I KIvEsuE TAXES.

The Protectionists in Congress are
busily at work trying to formulate reduc-
tions in the Internal revenue taxes. The
pretense employed is that they desire to re.
duce the burden of taxation. The real
motive of their activity is desire to pre-
vent the reduction of the tariff. The
greater part of the internal revenue taxes
are upon liquors. Whisky and tobacco
furnish about SO. 600, 600 annually. There
are taxes which are less felt than any
others. They fall upon articles which are
not necesssries, and they ntail no hard.
ship upon anyone. No doubt the whisky
tax has proved hard to collect in some parts

THE "REcoRD-Us1oN."

1t is perhaps due to the friends and adj
vertising clients of the RECORD UNION to
say that during the coming political cam
paign this journal will present very full
and complete daily record of the political
events of all parties, and that the arrange
ments to this end will be such as to satisfy
men of every shade of opinion, so far as
the presentation of the doipgs of their
favorite organizations is concerned. The
year will be very active one politically,
for a full set of officers has to be chosen
in November, from Governor down, and
Congressman also. The interests involved
are of course important, and the great
number of candidates and nominees will
make it almost impossible for any one to
keep out OF the current. The wisest cours
at such iuncture is to keep posted on
what is going on. and the readers Of the
RECORD. UNION will be enabled to do this
in the most satisfactory manner. At
the same time the regular departments
of the paper, together with the news,
will be kept up to the highest standard of
excellence. There will be entertaining
stories to follow "The Ways of the
World" now approaching close there
will be correspondence, both foreign and
domestic, of the most interesting character
there will be special scientific, agricultural
and literary contributions, of high order
of merit; all the varied interests of the
State will be carefully studied, and it will
be sought to furnish every reader with
some kind of qualification and satisfaction.
The paper has never been so firmly estab.
lished or SO widely circulated as now. 1t
is read and quoted not only in every State
of the Union, but in many foreign coun.
tries. Its merits have been widely recog.
nized, and this general appreciation
encourages the management to promise for
the future even better things than have
been afforded in the past.
