 PHGSIx, Sept. 9, 1889. 1 I have heretofore refrained from taking notice of attacks on myself, either as an official or individually, but the recent misrepresentations oi the Tombstone EPITAPH and the Phe- nix Gazette are of such nature that they may mislead people. therefore ask all fair minded people to read the official correspondence as published in the Herald of Sept. 9th, and the Ga zette of Sept. 7th. before believing that have deliberately given out a he' In justice to General Churchill 1 will say that he did not know of the letters had written until afterwards, nor did I ask his advice in relation to them.
 The evening before writing the lbel- ou, editorials oi the 1th and Sth inst. the editor of he Gazette, John Dun bar. admitted 10 me that he had no idea that We could gain admission un- der this Constitutional Convention. He also admitted to me that the lack of any control O. limitation to the amount of expense that the conyen- tion might incur was good objection 10 the convention, and that the opin- ions Of the Attorney General and As sistant Attorney General fully justified me in not calling the convention.
 At that time l told said editor that before the trial of the Auditor case, had fully advised Judge Kibbev of all the opinions that l had that related to the subject, including those referred to, believing that it was only fair to the Judge that he should know them.
 In relation to my Louisiana life, went there in commercial business in October 1865, and lived there until 1872, nearly seven years During that time was L. S. Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue from about April lSG7 to September 1867, and was [. :. Assessor Of Internal Revenue of the New Orleans District from about August lSGS 10 April 1869, being about one year in all, and my record at the Treasury Department is Grst-class as any one will find upon proper inquiry General Grant having afterwards of- iercd me the Supervisorship of h. ,ernal Revenue of all the Southern States.
 Except to vote never took part in politics in Louisiana during the seven years lived there In justice to the gentlemen whose names have been dragged in as well as to myself, will say that no man has contributed a dollar towards my expenses in connec- ion with the Governorship.

HEARTY RECEPTION.

Last evening at the Presbyterian church
a reception was rendered the new pastor,
Rev. David Winters. The congregation
appeared to have come out, every one of
them to give the new minister royal
welcome. There were present from s
o'clock till II almost five hundred persons
and the church seemed filled to overflow
ing with people all bent Oh enjoying
themselves and making every one
else do the same. Judging from
the hum of happy voices
merry laughter this part Of the program
was indeed decided success.
Several of the city pastors of the church
es were in attendance as well as Rev. Arm
strong, the Sunday school missionary
These too, all took an active interest in the
enjoyment Of the occasion.
After due allowance Of time had been
consumed in becoming acquainted; re-
freshments, consisting of ice cream and
cake, were served in the lecture room.
Rev. Winters may well feel proud of the
hearty, generous welcome extended him
by the people of his new congregation and
the spirit there displayed argues well for
the future of his passionate and the welfare
of the congregation.

which will be sold on the 9th

letters, ask great many questions and it
takes long letters to reply. 1t is thought
quite number of representatives will be
present and that the city and county will
get good price for the bonds. Some are
figuring that IL the event only few COM
panies are represented it will be an easy
matter to pool in the interest of all. Each
put in bid with the agreement that a
certain one shall put in the winning fig
ure and divide up. If such is suspected
the question who will get the bonds may
not be decided for some days.

Last evening soon after the locking up
in the city prison of a party of colored
girls, it was reported that one of the num-
Der was dying, having taken a dose of
morphine with suicidal intent. Physic-
ians were sent for and their examination
convinced them that the woman was either
entirely shamming death or that she had
taken small amount of the drug and
was slightly effected by it. They were of
sure of one thing and that was that there
was nothing serious in her case and left
her to recover as best she could. The city
physician, who afterwards called, was of
the same opinion. She was perfectly con-
scious at midnight.

SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTED,

A gentleman who has been in the city
some time in the interest of paving COM
pany looked very much crestfallen yester-
day and seemed to think that he had not
been treated right because the city council
had not decided to go into the paving bust
ness. In language setting forth that idea
he accosted a councilman who was not
long in telling him that he was not sent
for and the city had not entered into any
contract to pay his expenses. He was at
liberty to remain as long as he paid his
bills and when the tax payers think they
want paving they would probably take
some of it,

THE PARK SCHEME
To the Editor of the Eagle

TO Inc EuItOE OF tNt EaEIt
The Little River Park scheme should be
carried out by all means, and in that case
some arrangements should be made with
the Mill Co, to get the dam removed SO
that Little river should have the water
that naturally belongs to it. As it is the
water below the dam stands like pond,
stagnates and becomes very impure, moss
and pond weeds grow and gather and hold
a scum that is very offensive and detri-
mental to the health of the city. To clear
the river of this offensive accumulation, a
long, sharp blade or cutter might be drop
ped from the stern of the Little river
steamer that would cut iu loose, and with
the dam removed the current would carry
it out and keep the channel clear, making
Little river one of the most attractive
ornaments of our beautiful city.
