correspond with public men. He
! quotes from his letters to show that he al
ways was Democrat, though at the time
| of the commission of the forgery he was
Secretary of a Republican association, in
| the rooms of which the forgery was COM
mitted, on or about October ,, 1880. The
| forgery, according TO Hadley's admission,
| and confirmatory evidence collected by
| Davenport, was originally in the form of
an extract from supposed interview with
General Garfield. Davenport possessed
| himself OF about 10000 letters written by
Hadley between 1873 and 1879, and finds
| all the distinctive marks of orthography and
| cahgraphy alike in them and the forged
| letter Hadley always mispelled the word
religiously,' as ii was mispelled i'll the
forged letters, and all words ending in
les" such rs companies, copies and ene-
mics, he spelled with the final "ys," as
the word companys" appears in the
| forged letter as in his genuine correspond
| ence. Hadley invariably dotted the letter
| ''r' when it occurred in q word containing
| an Il" as in the signature to the forged
| letter. Hundreds of fac simile productions
prove this conclusiyely 1t was on the dis
| play of this evidence of guilt that Hadlev
confessed his pant in the crime Hadley
! admits that he wrote the name of Hepry
| l.. Morey in the register at the Kirkland
House in Lynn, and substituted it for the
| name of George Z. c. Morey in the afida-
Wit of Mrs. Clara Morey, declaring
he was her son. These forgerieS
| were made to sustain the original forgery,
| as there was no such man as H L. Morey,
TO whom the forged letters were supposed
to have been written, nor was there ever
any such person as John W. Goodall, who
claimed to be the executor of H. l.. MOrey,
and who transmitted the forged letter 10
the Truth Hadley wrote the Goodall let
ters also. Davenport also says that a week
or ten days before the publication in the
Truth of the Morey letter, Charles \. Dana,
of the New York San, was told
that such 4 letter was in existence,
and upon his expressing Il doubt
thereof his informant assured
him such was the case, and that he believed
he could obtain it and show it to him
(Dana). To this Mr.. Dana replied that he
did not care to see it, for the reason that he
believed that if any such letter was in ex-
istence it was forgery, and he wished to
have nothing to do with it. Lindsey like
Morey, was a fictitious person, and the
man who personated him on the Philip ex-
animation was arrested for forgery and
confessed, and is now serving term in the
Sing Sing prison for that of
letter is shown to have been culled from
speeches by Cutter of New Jersey, Williams
of Wisconsin, Phillips of Kansas, Luttrell
of California, and others on the Chinese
bill, and from the testimony of Henry
George and others before the House Com
mittee on Chinese immigration, and in no
sense are extracts from Garfeld's writings.
A copy of the account of Garfield with the
Stationery Clerk of the House for the ses-
| sion from March 21St to December %, 1879,
shows Garfield never used the paper with
| the peculiar heading of the sheet on which
the forged letter was written, and that style
of paper was never issued except during
the time indicated
BIaine's Libel Suit.
WASHINGTON, August 15th.-Mr Blaine's
| libel suit against the Indianapolis Sentinel
provokes considerable discussion in politi-
cal circles to-day, and the opinion is gen
eral that his prompt action in the matter
will cause the story TO react in his favor.
| There was disposition in some quarters to
| deride it as being done merely for effect,
and that the trial was to be after the cleo
| ton, but this is silenced by the assurance
| that the case must be tried in the October
! term of the Indiana Courts, and will be
| disposed of before the election.

Expedition.
WASHINGTON August 15th-The records
and relics of the Greely Arctic expedition,
which were brought to New York and
there turned over to the authorities on
Governors Island, were brought here to-
dav and delivered to the Chief Signal
Officer. They>will be used by Lieutenant

ton, and by the Chief IN; Officer in
making his report to the ecretary of War
The collection includes all the records of
the scientific work and discoveries of the
freely party, tnelr instruments ana private
papers and diaries of the members. When
the expedition was fitted out every
member was supplied with blank |
books in which to keep their
personal records of events during their
stay in the Arctic regions. 1t was the un-
derstanding that these records were their |
personal property and not subject to the |
supervision of Lieutenant Greely, or any |
one else. Seventeen of them have been
preserved. Their contents will be consid- |
cred confidential between the Government
and the writers, and while portions of them
will be used in making up the history Of
the expedition, nothing they contain will
be made public until Lieutenant Greely's
report of the expedition is completed.
General Hazen says it may be year before
Greely's report is finished.
