veterans of nearly every Northern and
Western State in the Union. as to the truth
of the facts published in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE of Aug. 8, in regard to the treat
ment of Mrs. Mary NJ. Elliott by the Pen.

am in a position to sustain before all the

affidavits, the originals being filed at Wash

1t seems, and l have it from good au-
tho-ity, that the Commissioner hes rejected
Mrs. Elliott's application for restoration on
the report of Special Examiner O'Connell.
He ha, reported that Mrs. Elliott has said to
him that she should live with Carpenter as
long as she lived. Mrs. Elliott emphatically
denies having made such statement, and
how could it pc possible for her so to do.
when she has always asserted that she did
not live with him. but only as his house
keeper? Is it, then, against the law that a
man should hire housekeeper! Are
there not thousands of high functionaries
under Government pay who have their
housekeepers? And why should it be
denied to poor old crippled pensioner, as

Mrs. Elliott is not living. nor has never
lived. with Carpenter in any other way than
as his servant. She has not violated the
provisions of act of Aug. 7, 1882.
The truth is that the Special Examiner
has asked such indecent and revolving
questions to her (unfit for publication that
it would bring the blush upon the face of
any decent woman, in so far that Mrs. Elliott
made the following remark, "Mr. O'Connell,
have you the right to ask me such insulting
questions?" ana his answer was, "Yes; you
must answer"
j have been the champion of Mrs. Elliott
in this matter, and am not ashamed to
acknowledge it before the people. knowing,
with hundreds of others. respectable citizens
of this community, that Mrs. Elliott is the

spiracy; that the conspirators are sus-
