Gibson and Woodward, who scarce
poor Garfield whom Dorsey had mad,
president, Dorsey walked wroth ana
published much good reading in the
shape of astonishing letters from Gar.
field and Others. But the weighty
hand OF federal power, as welded hy
the department of justice aud by mis-
guided public opinion, rested heavily
upon Dorsey. The press inveir he'd bit
terry against him. He was reduced to
this utmost straits. Then II was that he
saw Arthur and exhibited his sub-cnp-
tracts showing how, having become a
n surety for his brother aud others,
who had lett him in the lurch, he was
| forced 10 execute their contracts with
the pbstoilice department. Arthur was
satisfied that Dorsey was guillless, and
so expressed himself but in the face oi
resi- tless preiudices, excited by the
press and by Brewslcr's published in
victives, Arthur, lacking JacKsonian
backbone, dared not tut, rvei He
and Garfield owed the presidency tn
Dorsey; but Arthur discovered, in Gar

But, unhappily for Arthur and more
unhappily for Logan, Dorsey came or
victor The powerful government
failed to bankrupt him, and failing in
this, failed In everything. Niue sue
cessive indictments and eight acquit-
tails leaving Russell pennies, he
lapsed, necessarily, into the peniten-
tiary, impelled helplessly by sheer
moral force of federal power and gold.
Meanwhile, when Dorsey was strain.
ing every nerve To escape impending
ruin, one Gen. Jno. a. Logan, now as-
piring 10 honors of the presidency,
had occasion To commend the eXtraurdi-
nary tact and skill and force with
which the presidential campaign was
conducted. Unhappy Logan Blum

Dorsey incapable Of service or injury.
and Dorsey does not forgive or forget
or fail 10 preserve countless blieks dOu1
that have fallen into his hands. He
has been nearly a month In this city.
His rooms at Welck-rs have been
crowded from day TO day with parry
leaders. He has paid his debts raised
500 600 and gone back TO his princi-
paliIy in New Mexico Arthur and |
Logan, dreaming of his rage, cannot |
sleep. Dorsey is the beto aoir haunt
ing their bed chambers.
AND ALAS! POOR BREWSTER.

The inimitable Axtelle lnstructing
