S. F. Hamilton Replies to DR.. CrandaII.

To THE EDITOR: l dislike to occupy your
space, but feel | must reply to DR.. CrandalPs
letter in your issue Of the 18th ult. When he
states that wrote him in "1S81 or 1882; that
l sent him " an affidavit all ready to sign " :;
that he had further correspondence with
me and gave me to understand he couldn't
furnish the evidence wanted" he states what
is not truc-probably relying on his tolerably
good memory" (2)
The following is copy of the only letter
have received from DIR. Crandall {please observe
the date), aud is IN answer to the only letter |
have ever written him-a few days previous
to his answer:
S +. HAMILTON, Vineland, y. J.
DEAR SIR: For 10 or l2 years worked hard to
feed my memory with facts, as TO assist the late
soldiers never charged anything. never made
out paper but that the soldier told me they would
remember me when success followed. Results: they
shut up like q lot of ciam-shells and / never was
even SO much AS thanked for my trouble, whereas,
on the other hand all the old officers that s;aid in
the State have had all lhe honors, from the Gov
ernor down In 1880 ! made an oath that in the
future all cases that were not backed by $40 would
go in the was;ebaskct. Then after looking up the
case if could give them an affidavit would do
If not, return tine amouBt. .
Yours, truly, nj J.B. CEANDALL.
/ did not inclose any affidavit for him to
sign, but merely stated what Maj. Clark claimed
and asked his remembrance, thinking it would
be time enough for any affidavit when / found
out what he knew. ! also wished him to state
what expense he would be at" that might
repay him. i. j
Maj Clark's application was not made until
September, 1884, and its number is up in the
$4,000. No letter was written to Crandall
until his address was furnished by the Pension
Department, in October 1884.
/ fail to find in his letter to me any mention
of having no remembrance of the incident"
and the $50" clauselis the only refusal to give
affidavit. AS Maj. Clark has attidavits from
both Col. Randall and Snrgeon Nichols Of an
entirely different tenor from the worthy Doc
tors statement, both statements may be put
down as further alteration of the Doctors
"tOerably good memory"
The balance of DR.: Crandall's letter of denial
has nothing whatever to do with the case; but
it seems to me that, now that he has shown
how much the boys are indebted to him for
valuable ori einal suggestions in the pension
line, he might have some of those coveted
I" "honOrs" conferred on him if he should return
to his native State.
l fail to see any reason to change my opinion
of Dr. Crandal, except that q careful perusal
strengthens me in the idea that first prompted
to give his action to the readers of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE. / do regret, however, that
! so carelcssly gave him the honor of being the
Surgeon of the regiment, when that position
was filled by person so entirely dtferert.--S.

What He Thinks.

To THE EDITOR: Seeing in your issue of
Aug. 20 the reply of d. Cook, of Jno. Ball Post,
Winona, Mimi, to Brother Harry G. Clark, of
Dorchestertown, Neb., Let Us Stand Alone"
l wish to say how thankful I was to see one
veteran advance and speak his mind / think
since we have been organized as Sons of Vet
Grams we have always done what little we could
to assist the GA. r. and veterans in general,
and the time may come when we can do more.
l think the majority of veterans will agree
with Conrade Cook. but l know there are some
that think differently. Now, although it is
discouraging, hope all brothers will stand by
the veterans, even if few of them do figure us
as a cphcr.-J. A. BLAIsDELL, JnO. b. Hanson

 Advance to the Sea An Agree
 ment on the Points for ArbItra-
 tfon.
 ST. PETERSBURG, June 5.-The Novosti sees cause for great fear in the increasing German influence at Teheran and hints at the belief that Bismarck intends to hinder Russia's advance to the sea through that part of Afghanistan adjacent to Persia. Russian publcists display considerable irri- tation at the argument that no matter how easily the Gladstone Cabinet may be cajeled, the Berlin government will never consent to Baltic. Bismarck's jealousy of Russia's growth is recognized as implacable.
 PARIS, June 5.-At the meeting of the Suez canal company section of the share holders objected to the election of seven Eng fish ship owners as directors, centending that the English interest would try to depreciate the value of the canal with the object of buy ing up the shares and obtaining full control. M. de Lesseps, however, warmly advocated the election of the English directors and claimed that their presence in the board would prove advantageous The English were finally elected by 1900 against 40 votes, 142 abstaining from voting.
 LONDON, June 5.-The Official Gazette gives notice that England. has established 8 protectoIate over the districts lying along the banks of the Figer.
 LONDON, June 5.-Mr. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons to-day that Rus sia and England had come to agreement concerning the points of difference between them which were to be referred to arbitra ton. It also stated that the governments of the two countries have likewise agreed upon the arbitrator. But as the person chosen for arbitrator has not yet been formally asked to accept, he was therefore unable to say further on the subject now

A New or1ean. DefauIter.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Treasury de- partment has been cognizant for some days of the deficit in the accounts of J. H. Au- flemorte, the chief of the redemption office at New Orleans. In the middle of Apxil 8 treasury committee examined the clipping of the New Orleans sub-treasury and discovered circumstances which attracted suspicion to the redemption office. Two clerks of the treasurer's office were left at New Orleans to pursue an examination. An exami nation of the redemption office was begun Saturday last on orders from the United States treasu- ry to ship unassorted and mutilated currency to Washington. A deficit in the office was soon discovered amounting to at least $25.- 900. The department is informed that the defaulter has already been traced by detec- tives as far as Houston, Texas, and that he will undoubtedly be captured. The deficit it is said may reach $50, 900.

AT THE LINCOLN RINK.
Polo. Fancy Hiding, Etc.

About two hundred people attended at the Lincoln rink last evening to witness Master Leopold execute some of his great feats in fancy riding. He was as usual enthusiasti- cally applauded. Two mixed teams com posed of the Yales and Lincolns played a game of polo, resulting in the defeat of the Lincolns by five goals to one. Then the Light Guard and a mixed team played a game and the mixed team won by three goals to one. A great deal of merriment was created by the goal tender of the mixed team laying down in front of the goal while four or five players tried to force the ball in the goal. There was no music and conse quently most of the audience became impa- tient and left before the games ended.

The Drexel Cottage at Mt. McGregor
 Being. Prepared For His Recep-
 ton.
 SARATOGA STRINGS, N. Y June 5.-Rev. Dr. John P. Newman came up from New York on Wednesday night and went to Mount McGregor yesterday to inspect the work on the Drexel cottage which is being put in readiness for General Grants recep- ton. On his return from the mountain Dr. Newman expressed himself pleased with what he saw at Mt. McGregor. Concerning the date of General Grants arrival he said it would be about June 20, but much depended on the weather and the invalid's strength. He says that the ravages of the cancer have yielded to treat ment and cease to alarm. The formal opening at Mt. McGregor will be on the 27th, though everything will be prepared to entertain the general and his party if they arrive at an earlier date. Post Wheeler, G. A. R., will probably escort General Grant when he arrives in Saratoga on his way to Mt. McGregor. The veterans would gladly carry the old commander up if it were neces- sary on their shoulders. Dr. Newman re- turned to New York last night.
