an utter falsehood from beginning

made the amende by publishing the

edging the wrong done me in the
editorial paragraph, which I also
enclose you. Besides this retrac-
ton, I hold the letter Of the repor-
ter Of the Republican who wrote the
paragraph, which letter states I
was in no manner responsible for
the article, and had had no inter-
view whatever with him. And the
reporter further admitted to me, in
the editorial office Of the Republican
when called on by me, that | had
not only not made the statements
attributed to me, but that not a
word on any subject had passed
between us during this session Of
Congress. / trust you will do me

publican of this date, and the edito-

find reproduced a paragraph that
seems to have appeared in your pa

"Conscruative observation-disclosures

progressive, but others never change
They have the same people, the
same houses and the same old hab-
its they always had. A stranger
rarely appears, and when he does
it is an event. In 1870, I trav-
eled through the Arcadian hamlet
of Ringgold, in Bienville parish,
driving a two-horse buggy. I did
not stop, but passed right through.
The village consisted Of a dozen Of
two houses, strung along a sand
hill, and it included a store, saloon,
and blacksmith shop. Only two
men who sat in the sun on the front
steps of the store, squirted tobacco
juice in the sand, and eyed me as l
drove by. Eleven years afterward
l happened to pass through Ring
gold again, and | was struck with
the extraordinary sameness of every

ever. There was the same black

article because it puts me in the at

A Representative could commit no
greater crime than that. | am not
in this instance and never have
been guilty of that crime. I am
incapable of it. l made no snch
statements at any time as those i'm
puted to me in the paragraph, and
am utterly at a loss TO understand
how your reporter came to credit

the statement yesterday" meaning
the I'd of January, since the para

not return to Washington until late
at night on the Sd.

possible for me to have made such
a statement in Washington on Jan
uary 2. l repeat, l made no such
statement, nor anything similar to
it, npon which the said paragraph
conld have been constructed, any,
where on that day, nor before, nor
since that day.
The whole article is utterly IN
true-a delusion and a mistake-so
far as l am concerned. Nor are
the people Of any part of Bienville

cism passed upon them in the arti-

In conclusion I respectfully re-
quest the publication Of this letter

You say my cross grows none tho lighter,
My greif Is only deeper, day by day.
I wonder always how my dear is iaring,
In those broad streets where little children
play.
Life till l meet her seems one great forever
None but mother knows a mothers loss;
This be your comfort, though you may wear
Tn crown of wifehood, you will not fear its
cross.
Is It so then, and is my life the better
That never children lean upon my knce7
That know not their clasps encircling fetter,
And no warm iireside has its place for mel
You say my arms ache so, once more to hold
her;
Ny eyes ache so to look upon her face.
know some angels love will sure enfold her,
'1is my weak self that covets still my place!
And think you then, my heart pains less, that
Havo he'd mine own warm against my
henrt;
That, Gods best gift being denied mo ever,
My one belonging is my petty art'
All, friend, what folly! DO you not see clearly,
The cross will vanish but the crown endures.
Nothing is lost which once we have lov'd
dearly,
Tn present is bitter, but the past yours!
