GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL, CHICAGO, Sept. %,
1sS3.-Dcay Frank: The agony is over. Yes
terday the court, in response to the demand
of my late bride, annuued the marriage
which had taken place between US. The an
nulment was granted on the ground that
the petitioners consent to the marriage
had been obtained by fraud and false repre-
sentation on my part. Numerous witnesses
swore that called myself Lord" Galloway
and had stated that was heir to Viscount
Decatur. Of course my word was no good
against all this. Old Fairfield, who gave
evidence, described me as damaged
goods" and the judge paid no attention to
me.
Indeed, was told beforehand that the
Judge was sure to grant the plaintiffs petit
ton. The fact is, this worthy is candidate
for vacant judgeship in the Court Of APP
peal, and did not dare to run the risk of
losing old Fairfeld's influence. Judges over
here are elected by popular vote, and old
Fairfield, besides having the influence
which is always attendant on great wealth,
employs thousands of men in his pig stick
ing establishments, and of course controls
their votes. Thus it is that no Judge who
aspires to higher Office, or even to re-elec-
ton, ever dares to say him nay. Moreover,
am told that this old hog butcher political
influence is so great that he controls half
the State Legislature and can get any bills
he likes passed by it; and that if the Judge
had refused to annul my marriage with his
daughter he would have had special act
declaring it null and VOID put through the
Legislature.
Although unquestionably it was very
wrong to allow these toadies and title
worshipers to continue in their self-created
delusion that was the eldest son, yet l GER
talnly had nothing to do with originating
that belief That was simply the offspring
of combination of ignorance and syco-
phancy.
am going to remain here for few
weeks, as | have gone into little wheat
speculation which | hope may prove remu-
nerative. If it fails shall be, as they say
here, dead broke" Your affectionate
brother FRED.

CHICAGO, Oct. II, 16S8.-1Hy Lord: l red
with the deapest regret of the terrible calami-
ty wIch has overlook you, and l hurry to
Offer you my combinations. My daughter is
real sick with grief, and says as she just
longs to be by your side in your trouble.
Now, my lord, am willing to say, 'let BIZ
cones be bigones," and let US patch up this .
little matter No one is to blame but l, for
1t was who forced Josie to throw you up. l
separated two loving harts, and [ am real
sorry. Shall Josie come to youl there is
nothing like sympathy in trpbble. If you
and Josie will make it up, / will come down
handsome. The ceremony could be per-
formed quiet in my house or at your hotel;
although 50 far as ceremony is consumed, I
think marriages are made in Heaven, and
no earthly jedge has right to unmake
them. My daughter sends her love, and
says as she and will come round to see you
this evening. l trust your LOrdshpp will
receive us with the same forgivvin speritt
with witch we come. l remain, my lord,
yours for ever, JEREMIAH FAIRCHILD.

lS8S.-Sfr: have just waded through your
lmbecile epstle, and am now thanking God
that your daughters ignorance and narrow
minded ambition has saved me from being
cursed with father-in- law who is capable
of producing such a document. / regret
that it is not convenient for me to agree
with you in your newly-formed opinion that
are made in Heaven. / would
also advise you that, as your daughter will
henceforth be branded i'll the English mat
rimonial market as-usng an expression
which you once applied TO me as well as to
the pork with which you feed the public
damaged goods you will be wise TO try to
dispose of her elsewhere.
In conclusion, Inotify you that am wear
ing pair of heavy shooting boots, and that
think it would be as well for you not to
come to see me. / leave for England to-
night Yours, ETC., DECATUR.
