EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: My
friend Burritt, of the Sunday Herald, yes
terday assumed to give some advice TO
yourself and tho writer, as follows:
Our friend Tom Murray, ought to be more
careful Of his facts when pretending TO write
history, and the editor Of THE REPUBLICAN,
ought to edit the historical papers which he
prints, and which would be very interesting
reading but for their eXaspcrating variance at
times from the truth.
Now, have repeatedly stated that as a
rule all the articles have written about
tho war have been jotted down from men,
ory, and that my object in writing them
was more to make them readable and in
teresting TO the general reader as far as |
could than to give dates, numbers, names,
&c, with historical accuracy. At the
same time, as to outline and incidents
that came under my own observation, l
claim to have boen cOnscientiously exact
as far as my memory served me. | do not
write for military professionals, and |
have never claimed or pretended that
these screeds of mine arrived at the dig
nifty of history.
As to the account of the battle Of Five
Forks in Saturdays REPUBLICAN,, in
which | expressly stated | was not
present, il was not intended as desorip-
tion of the battle, but merely rs brief
introduction to the momentous events of
the succeeding day, and as to whether it
is u fact that Sheridan had no infantry
on the first day, and that no part of the
I'd corps REINFORCED Sheridan on the sec
ond day of the fight. ! will state that
the only history accessible to me when |
wrote tho article was j. Il. Headley's
History Of the Rebellion" to which |
xpiah call frianb Ilurritt'a nttautinn
vol. =, pages $50 and 500.
But even if have made mistakes in
statement, and | acknowledge the corn,
/ have the consolation to know that from
Gen. Grant down TO such humble scrib-
blors as myself nobody has written and
published any thing about the war that
somebody else did not pop up and ex-
claim. "Exasperating variance with tho
truth % THos. j. MURRAY.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1885-02-02

Yesterdays Herald took occasion to
criticise Mr. Murray's vory readable arti-
cles published in The REPUBLICAN, Civ
ing his personal recollections Of the civil
war, otjocting to their 'exasperating 6
variance from the truth" Mr.. Murray is
able to dofond his work, and does so of
fectively in this issue. The Herald sug.
gests that tho editor of TnE REPUBLICAN
should edit the historic papers which
he prints. That depends. An editor
cannot be held responsible for the accuracy
Of statements made in articles which sim
ply claim to give descriptions Of matters
coming under tho personal observations
Of tho writer, and which expressly dis
claim any pretentions to absolute histori-
cal accuracy. The article in question was
over the authors signature, and ho was
alone responsible for the correctness Of
its statements. An editor who could
make all articles published in regard to tho
late war fit the absolute truth of history
would surely have dizzy time Of it.

UNDIsMAYED by tho result of his
former visit to his associate on the demo-
cratic national ticket, Mr.. Hendricks has
made another call upon Mr.. Cleveland.
The modesty of his present mission is in
striking contrast with the assurance Of
his prior trip. Then he proposed to tako
charge of the noxt administration. Now
his labor of love Is to urge Mcdonald for
q cabinet position. AS Mr.. Hendricks is
reported to have gone away satisfied, it
is safe to assume that Mcdonald will not
be there when Cleveland makss up his
jewels. Hendricks has always had the
happy faculty of wrecking all Of Joe"
McDonald's hopes.

The democratic senator of the Illinois
legislature who is confined to his bed by
a paralytic shock, is unable to speak or
write. His party associates desire his
resignation. aud, recently made the at.
tempt to secure it by means Of alphabet
cal blocks placed before him. Ho was
unable to use them, and until he is in
condition to tender his resignation, or
his illness proves fatal, there is no oppor-
tunity to order new election. The
democracy might get Speaker Haines,
III she house, to declare Senator Bridges
seat vacant. Haines appears to be equal
TO almost any emergency.

1T 10 understood that Representative
Blackburn will ask recognition to-day to
move to fix day for tho consideration of
the senate bankrupt bill. We hope he
will succeed in securing the floor, and
that the house will give this measure a
chance for consideration. 1t is the least
that that body can do, and once the sem
ate bill is before it the country is reason
ably sure of the passage of some bankrupt
net, unless the democratic majority has
taken leave Of its senses The business
interests of the country demand the pas.
sage of a bankrupt law, and the Lowell
bill, which has been prepared with much
care, and which has passed the senate,
meets with their approval, We trust that
all friends of the measure will be on hand

days when there is likelihood of this
measure being brought to the attention of
