curry containing certain article on
the death of Grant, which he sup
posed Won would disapprove heart

a reply from you quite to his liking
The purpose Of writing YOU this let
ter is to say to YOU that Col Shan,
non, the appointee, did not write
the article referred to. He could
not write it i: lie would, and he
would not il he could. Shannon il
a timid man in journalism, and
am regarded as somewhat bold
my friends sometime saw indi~crect
and / wrote the article myself. !
do not think Shannon had any
knowledge OF it unul he saw it in
print, aud heard he was greatly
disturbed and agitated for fear it
might injnre his prospect of con
tirmatlon in the body to which you
belong. | have hut recently become
connected with Shannon in Journal
ism. 1t was brought about by the
combination Of two journals, the one
to which l belong and the one to
which he belongs The consolida-
ton of the two papers has been at
tended with most unhappy results.
Our natures were so opposite that
we never agreed upon anything in
The conducting Of this journal, and
he took liberties with my manuscript
which caused me to curse him most
heartily. and there is probably no
man in this city whom he hates
more heartily than he does me.
Still lie shall receive no injustice a,
my hands if | can help it. He did
not write the Grant article which
has been laid before you, and could
not, as | have said. / think if he
had done the writing it would have
beer written quite ditferentlv-no
doubt in the usual style OF the
funkyism of the writers of the
South upon the subject of Grants
death. Col. Shannon, the.new ap-
pointee to the postoffice here, is a
natural-horn flunky. I knew him
well years ago, when he meditated
gong over to your party, and was
saved by the hitter rebukes of my
self which arrayed public opinion of
the white gentlemen against him so
strongly that he did not dare to risk
it.
Now, my dear sir, If you will use
Your influence to have the appoint
ment confirmed l have little doubt
that with little cajolery and
management, you may catch him
and attach him to the Republican
party, and. for my own part, i make
you heartily welcome TO him, when
