GENERAL GRANT ON MEXICO.
General Grant's longest speech was made
tbe other night at a meeting of capitalists
and railroad men in New York to discuss
the future of Mexican .. commerce. The
General shower_,that he had given the sub
ject considerable study. He expressed the
opinion that Mexico had really made
greater advances in civilization than have
been supposed, and that a bright future is
in store for her. He believes that very
great additions to her producing capacity
may be made by building railroads through
the interior, but that it is useless for cor
porations ; to expect subsidies from the
Mexican Government, the revenues of the
republic being too small . to allow of - any
such assistance. The railroads which may
be built will, he believes, prove , highly re
munerative in a few years, by : developing
the now almost untouched resources of the
country. He .thinks the United . States
can by judicious extension of the avenues
of communication .: not only control the
supply of Mexico with imports, but raise
her exports ten or twenty fold. . He
regards the- Mexican people as peaceable,
industrious, virtuous j and . tractable, and
attributes the anarchic condition of the
country until very recently, to the results
of foreign - interference - and ecclesiastical
greed combined. . ' It will doubtless appear
to those who are at all acquainted with
Mexican politics, government and social
life, that General Grant has painted the
situation in colors somewhat, brighter than
; the facts warrant. : It can hardly be al
leged that there is no longer anything to
apprehend' from political complications, for
example, yet this is a very important point ;
when it is proposed to make large invest
ments in the country. The first step to
ward the development Jof Mexican re
sources must be the establishment of law
f and order under ; conditions giving assur
ance of their permanency. It is the absence
of such conditions : hitherto which has pre
vented American capitalists from under
- taking extensive projects in that country.
There has never been any doubt as to the
abundance of its resources, and tho ques
. tion of their development has always been
one of political security. It remains the
vital consideration. If indeed Mexico can
be regarded as having reached a stable po
litical state, there is nothing to hinder the
work of internal improvement, nor need
our capitalists be deterred by the hopeless
; ness of procuring subsidies ' from the Gov
ernment. Of course it is desirable that all
talk of annexation should be abandoned,
for such suggestions can only irritate and
: alienate the Mexican , people, and ; since
i they are alike injudicious and foolish they
ought to be dropped. . A much more profit
able conquest of Mexico; than arms could I
' ever effect may be brought about .by .com
mercial i relations, and it is . the railroad j
builders who now constitute the vanguard
of ' : civilisation. /" Without railroads ~ there j
is no progress nowadays. With railroads j
there is no ' region so desert but it may be
made to repay labor, and investment.' V Of
old, nations .'.' extended ; their power .by j
armies of occupation. To-day, a score of
capitalists and experienced railroad build
ers meet ': over their wine in a New York |
restaurant, and there the preliminaries are '
arranged for enterprises f which _, will cause j
the shedding of no blood, but which, will J
bring more wealth to 1 the nation than' the •
most successful war ever waged, and at the ,
same time bestow civilization and advance- ;
D ent on the communities through which
the new lines of transportation are to be
carried.
STRUGGLING IN THE TOILS.
f r< The statements put forward by the Dem- ,
ocratic National Committee in justification
of the course of that body in : the 'Morey ,
forgery 'case only ; serve ; to :. bring into a
fuller light the moral 'crookedness of Bar
num and his associates. •In order to screen
themselves ; from .. the j public .. indignation
and contempt which ■. their, dishonesty 1 <M
exposed them to, these men resort tr, nr .
ther falsehood and evasion, thus m?{ X j n „ [_
plain - that , they dare not tell * t' je truth
and that in , fact" there is no v _y u defense
for what they have done, •£ 'x'heir attempt
to make it appear that tb{ e y we not ac
complices in the forgery Evolves them in a
new charge of willful m i shameless falsi
fication. g They asae , t that they purchased
the plates of the Gorged letter and distrib
uted " them, first , because General Garfield
bad not denied the genuineness of the let
ter, and ser'^ on d i because they did not be
lieve his ; denial when he* made it. It is'
perfectly clear that one of .these assertions
must -be < untrue, ■ and it . does not matter
wbjch ; one is the lie. ■ It ! is, • however, a
gratuitous falsehood to* say that General
Garfield had not denied : the ; authority of
the letter when they purchased the plates,
for r>: the "i J very -. issue . :■ of '.- Truth £ which
they, declare -"-to;- have been the ".first
they, saw, contained a reference to
that .. denial, and - ' a ruffianly > charge
ot ~i mendacity -; against {General Garfield. 4
The . truth is that . an ; authorized denial
was published the same day that the letter
appeared, and this Itanium , and his fellow
criminals - knew perfectly well. ,-,.;, The
stupidity of thtir defense is in fact only
equalled by its impudence. ';' It shows con
clusively that the men who did this deed
are scoundrels, and that there is nothing
surprising in their ' complicity 'in so - in
famous a fraud. , If Barnum and his gang
fancy that their lying and ; shuffling will •
extricate them from the disgrace into which
they, have plunged themselves, • they will
soon discover their mistake. . The develop
ments already made prove that the Demo
cratic National : Committee . fairly , jumped
at the opportunity - presented to them of
circulating an injurious document of whose
utter falsity they could have had no doubt.
It is in evidence that they took steps to
bolster up the forgery", with perjured testi
mony ; that they - kept the suborned wit
nesses 'at their own headquarters ; ) that
after General Garfield had denied the letter
in the most emphatic and indignant terms,
Barnum himself sent-' a ' long dispatch
to this coast, prepaid,', and addressed to
all the journals of the Associated Press as
well as to the Democratic papers not be
longing to the Association, in : which he
attempted to maintain the genuineness of
, the forgery, and in which .he appeared
as the advocate and indorser of every lie
and calumny printed {by the vile gutter
sheet called Truth. This dispatch of
Barnum's to the Pacific coast may well be
set ; against the latest j statements ■of j his
committee, for I it convicts j the i latter ' of
fresh falsehood of the most reckless and
fatuous kind. As to Hewitt, the rebuke
administered to him '■ by Judge Davis -■ re
quires no supplement. {He has destroyed
bis own reputation, nor t can he re-estab
lish it" by adopting Barnum's evasive and,
disingenuous tactics. His case indeed: is
worse than Barnum's, for whereas the lat
ter had a bad reputation . before, Hewitt
has hitherto been regarded as a man of up
rightness and integrity. ■'.
' It is needless to say that henceforth he
can never be so regarded. He it was who
gave stability to the forgery by pronounc
ing it genuine," and so determined was he
that 9 whatever £ weight '-' went with his
character should be thrown on the side of
the fraud, that he came forward at a pub
lic meeting and solemnly declared his be
lief that General Garfield wrote the letter.
.Yet when he did this he had absolutely
no evidence to go upon. Those who have
compared the fac-similes of the - forgery
with genuine letters of General Garfield
know that the difference in the writing is
so great as to make it impossible that any
intelligent observer could fail to dis
tinguish between them. Mr. Hewitt •is
certainly not wanting in intelligence, and
therefore it can only be concluded that he
is: wanting ,in .honesty. , : The National
Democratic Committee ~ has not < helped
itself by its latest manifesto, ■'• and
when all the facts are before the public it
will be seen how vain were its efforts to
wriggle out of the responsibility for what a
New York journal justly terms the. most
infamous disclosure in recent partisan poli
tics. . Perhaps it is not surprising - that
men capable of using a forged letter in a
Presidential campaign should try to lie
themselves out oi it \ afterwards, but it is
surprising that they should think it pos
sible to . exculpate . themselves : by such
methods. ! They j have j disgraced not only
themselves but their party, and the latter,
if it has any further ambition or any regard
for the esteem of decent men, should lose
no time in repudiating its : disreputable
agents. I So far, it is necessary to : point
out, nothing. of ; the kind has been done.
On the contrary, at a meeting in New York
the other night, a complimentry resolution
was voted to Chairman - Barnum : for the
manner in which he ■' conducted the cam
paign. Now this is not our affair particu
larly. . If ,> the ; Democratic party really
approves the methods of Barnum and his
associates it is right in saying so. But
assuredly if it dues approve those methods
the country has fresh reason for congratu
lating itself on the escape it • has had from
control by such a party, and it is equally
certain that no such party can' hope in any
given period to regain the confidence and
esteem of , the ; people. « j The ; Democratic
managers i hive ! not shown . any ' realizing
'sense of the nature of public opinion in the
past, and they are evidently .' as _ much ', at
sea in that respect as ever. But if they do
not speedily reach an' apprehension- of the
fact that the American people are outraged
and " disgusted by the . infamous ' forgery
now being ; investigated, it will be .quite
useless '. for ; them ;- to '/think :' of ■ making
preparations for another campaign. ./
GENERAL SCHOFIELD ON THE WHIT
TAKER CASE.
TAKER CASE. /
. ' General Schofield -■ has < discussed - the
Whittaker case at some length in his an
i nual report \on West ; Point '; affairs. He
I appears to have been - influenced by strong
i feelings of resentment at the public treat
ment /of -West ' Point /in regard to that
; affair, and it must be confessed that he has
; had grounds for protest. The -, conclusion
of .the Whittaker - case . made . it ; apparent
that that cadet had imposed upon the
I country and the authorities of the Academy
j a fictitious plot and outrage. The note of
I warning i \ which * he i pretended % to - have
I received, '.- and which was : - proved to
' have . been '_.. written " by ~. r himself, '' settled
I the question of his ; * guilt. The question
| of the position of colored cadets at West
Point ; is, however, a larger .' one, and it is
necessary that -it should - be dealt with.
General Schofield intimates that the col
ored race cannot be expected [to hold its
own at so eat ly a stage of . its enfranchise
ment, and he suggests " that ; the wisest
.. :, ■.■'>.■-/■:?•:■■•.;■."■'" .'•' ---- —■>//A-"'-rr-'}--:y---
course would be to send P'_ mow co v ored
cadets to.West;Pc.s'at. No doubt this" will 5
provoke a goo^ deal of the same kind of
censure <-_ 9 ; was vented so recklessly dur
ing the. Whittakev case, but cool consider
ation, jg required here, and there is one
a °^pegt T of :„ tbt matter.which , no, amount of
theoreUceTl "sentimentalism touches or . cxV
plains,"/? We* refer to! fact that the col
'[ sentimentalism touches or ex
iVe refer to the fact that the col
ored race has nowhere in this country been
admitted to social equality with the whites.
No one'c*n gainsay this fact, yet because
the white cadets at West Point have not
shown themselves superior to, prejudices
which ' their parents . are controlled by,
West \ Point V government has ■» been de
nounced as bad. "It is of course simply
ridiculous to look :to- a . military school
for the inauguration I of r J social { reforms
or 5 advances, Vor-to „. expect that "j boys
..ill Jibe, more liberal in their ideas
than the -men"- from whom they
derive ;' > those '.-'.- ; ideas, ■_;'; Whether the
colored cadets who go through the social
purgatory of West Point derive any
compensation from ; their, experience may
1 also be doubted. They are ' isolated and
ostracized, and it :is impossible to see
how their condition can be changed ; for
the better. Of course coercion is out of
the • question. ... They ; must win their way
to j a ' more ' endurable . position by ■ slow
degrees •if - they, can -do" so at ' all. ' . But
the presumption of - their .-. intellectual
I inferiority iris »r against them also, as
General : Schofield ' points" out, .' and there
seems , no remedy,,, f or* this. V Abstractly
they have every right that the white boys
possess. - Practically they cannot . be , put
upon the same level. -- That is the whole
situation, and so far as can be seen it is not
in the power of either the . Government or
the people to amend it. v If, therefore, col-
I ored cadets still .go to West Point, they
must be regarded as in a sense .victims
Ito " ; the •. i ambition of their : race,
and |it mu9t be expected; that ; they
will not have a very pleasant experience.'
No doubt this is to be regretted, but we
cannot perceive that it is a condition of
I things which . entails blame upon the
authorities of West Point, upon the white
j cadets; upon the Government, or upon the
people. .; It is simply the natural outcome
j of the existing : circumstances, which hap
pen to be more influential than the desires
lof philanthropists. , { The only cure for
whatever is unsatisfactory in the situation
is time. -.
THE DECISION OF JUDGE DAVIS.
- The decision of Judge Davis in the Philp
case is precisely what should have been ex
pected from a conscientious jurist. He
holds the defendant to answer for criminal
libel, and at I the same time reviews j the
whole case in a ; . manner which shows his
conviction that • the Democratic - National
Committee is really responsible for the
whole fraud. His handling of Abram S.
Hewitt lis extremely severe j and incisive,
though not more so than' the facts war
rant. Concerning the Morey letter he is of
opinion that it is a forgery throughout, and
that the envelope bears' the marks of fraud
ulent manipulation too plainly to leave any
doubt as to the character of the work.
Every person, he holds* 5 who is "free from
obliquity of vision or perversion 'of ; judg
ment," must be satisfied ■ that the - letter
was never written by General Gaafield. In
the hope and expectation * that the princi
pals in the outrage will thereby be brought
to justice, he sends the case to a jury. The
language of .the Court . is at times very
strong, but it must be admitted that so
flagrant a case has seldom come before a
modern judge, and certainly no honest man
could fail to feel indignant at the shameless
i scoundrclism revealed in every step of the
transaction. No such dirty work has ever
before been dragged -to light in modern
politics, and it is evident that the forger
and his abettors made a great mistake
when they thought that the whole affair
would be dropped and forgotten after the
election. On the contrary, it is now for
the first time possible to follow it up with
energy, and the prevalent demand for the
punishment of the criminals gives assur
ance that they will not escape at the same
time that it marks the public abhorrence of
the crime. - X

ANOTHER CONDEMNATION.
- General Pope, in his annual report, states
that all the trouble with Victorio was due
to a determined ' purpose of the Interior
Department to effect the temoval of his
band to the San . Carlos Agency," Arizona,
and the General says : " I do not know the
" reasons of the Interior \ Department for
" insisting upon the -removal,'- but cer
" tamly they should be cogent to justify
" the ; great trouble ■:' and . severe , losses
" incurred by the ' attempt to coerce re
" moval." ' Here .we ) have -an ' intimation
that the protracted struggle with Victorio,
involving so dreadful loss of life on both
sides, was attributable to an obstinate and
senseless caprice on the - part of the ■ In
terior Department, and might have ' been
avoided if the .'diabolical; Indian , policy
which has become so fixed in our govern
ment had not been adhered to in defiance
of reason and justice. - ; .-■".-.'._'
THE YUBA DAM.
Yesterday about sundown the last layer
of poles was placed upon the portion of the
dam across the channel from which it was
so difficult to turn the water.' This morn
ing the newly-completed portion l will be
faced ', with 5,000 sand-bags, _ and when
enough dirt to keep a few teams j busy for
half a day is hauled upon the earth levee
at the north end, the j dam will .- be com
pleted in every respect so far as the con
tract is concerned. "'The wing-dam placed
above the - gap became ' almost water-tight
by reason of the cement-like slickens that
was ' piled ' upon *it ; and caught ;by the
brush. The river, then -ceased |to run to
the gap and went northward, and yester
day there was scarcely any water -in the
old ■ channel, which was shoaling i rapidly."
A small wing dam placed just above the
gap 'was \ almost j buried i by the slickens
which it caught.;-- Yesterday a laborer laid
some brush in a sluggish current with the
tops up-stream, and directly afterward it
required // the j"_ exertion '-' of/ his i utmost
strength j- to pull '..the - brush / from . the
mud, in ;-'' which , ; it .' .' had ' •'.' so .; quickly
been / buried. ': Where : . the current,
after ':t' : being --turned, 'i -•. first ; >•' struck
the dam, the facing ?of » sand . upon / the
brush was washed ' off, leaving : the brush
exposed, but when the water became still
th« cement that rolled along settled there,
and how oxen could not pull the brush up.
Director ■ Searies has ■ authorized | the con
tractors to lay ] a': few, rows of sand bags
along the slope of the dam to act as weights.
Nothing else is to be done. vj The , contract
ors and engineers are more thau delighted
with the apparent successful. completion of
the work," and have no , fear of - its future,
and their opinion is worth more than those
of , all the croakers - who would ' almost be
willing to see the dam washed away that
their predictions might ' be J fulfilled. ."^ The
water has piled to about one-third the hight
of the clam, and is going' through in about
forty places without washing. It is filling
crevices with sand and slickens just as was
expected, and '( carrying I but little • mater j
through in solution. Yesterday Engineer j
Dolsen took a glassful of water from above j
the dam and another from the stream after I
it ; ran through. The * deposit j that was
made by the water taken from above the
dam was six times |as much as that ' made
by the water that bad -passed through the
great I brush filter. [ Mary ville ' Appeal, I

nied. ■ •_. .„■ .
: Washinbton, November 14tb.— Hall Mc-
Allister from San Francisco and C. Austin
Browne from Boston came to Washington a
few days ago to apply ■to Judge Field for a
rehearing of the giant powder, case, in which
Judge Field, while holding the California
Circuit Court last month, decided that the
reissue of the patent of that company is in
valid. The two lawyers presented their pe
tition in . person , and pressed it with great
earnestness, but the Judge replied that the
only proper place to present the application
would be in the Court at San Francisco ; that
it could not even then ;be considered until
notice should be served on the opposing par
ties, aud the , application set down., for argu
ment and consideration by: the Court regu
larly, and that in no event would he (Judge
Field) entertain the application in Washing
ton. The company ? counsel, . objected - s to
this, on the ground that Judge Sawyer would
not act upon the matter during Justice
Field's absence, but the latter replied that
the regular course of procedure must be
pursued, adding that a copy of the petition
could readily be sent him after serving a no
tice on the other ride. . Messrs. McAllister
and Browne have now started homewards,
and will doubtless soon submit their applica
tion to the Circuit Court in San Francisco,
but do not expect that it will be acted on by
Judge Sawyer until he shall have forwarded
a copy to Jujge Field and obtained his opin
ion as to the advisability of granting it. The
case is of great importance to the mining in
terests throughout the country, and especially
in California.

husband, Thomas W. Somers, from whom she

■': St. Ellebtojt (N. S.), November 14th. —
At 10 o'clock last night another very heavy
explosion occurred, blowing the roof and gear
of the fan shaft, timbers and bricks high into
the air. The descending debris fell on the
workshops which are in the vicinity, and ' the
roofs of the carpenter-shop | and boiler-house
are riddled with hoes, some of them of im
mense size. The noise of | tbe ' explosion was
heard two miles. Fortunately no \ one was
injured, though Rota, Ihe engineer of the
fan,* and two others I working . closer - by,- with
difficulty, escaped \ the falling debris,- > More
explosions were | expected I daring . the night,
but i although \ a cloud -of I smoke continued .
issuing i; from "* the > fan - shaft, nothing .
more!, occurred. -At 10 . . o'clock .this |
morning considerable smoke . was ? com
ing from \ the shaft, and as ; the ; black
smith-shop,",; carpenter-shop, saw-mill, ma
chine-shop and foundry all , wooden ■ build
ings except the latter— close by, the serv
ices of the New Glasgow steam fire-engine
was obtained to try if possible to save these
buildings in case of fire, - and also ' to pour a
stream of water in to the g burning - pit. ... A
large number were standing about the works
looking on, and the firemen were engaged in
moving the steamer into position, when just
at 12:30 another explosion occurred, and an
immense volume of smoke rushed from the
fan shaft high into the air, accompanied by
sticks, etc. The spectators ' scattered -■■: in
all .^directions."' X - Fortunately ;t no one
was Whurt.Hr v Up to ~f this <$- time all
seemed quiet about the "" hoisting : ; and
pumping shafts, which are 250 yards from the
fan shaft ; but at 12:50 another immense vol
ume of darker-colored smoke came from the
fan shaft, and also from both the hoisting
'and, pumping shafts. A few minutes later
the smoke from all shafts had.ceased, and the
air appeared to. be drawn down, and as this
sucking in is a symptom of another explosion
the people ran and put themselves in a place
of safety. In a few miuntes another dense
volume of somoke came forth, but was ac
companied by no noise. It is • fully expected
that the fire, which now must be immense
in the mine, will 'soon show itself from the
mouth of the shaft, when all the buildings
in the vicinity will be in the greatest danger.
Great fears are entertained that the whole
workings of the Ford pit will be destroyed,
though efforts are now being made by a large
gang of men, who are at work digging a
trench, to let into the mine > the water from
the river,' which is close by. This is the last
resort, and it will ( take j a good while to get
sufficient water in to drown the fire. It is
hoped that ' the fire may be confined to the
Ford pit, and prevented from extending to
the workings of the Cage pit, situated half a
mile west of the Ford pit. ¥ The i former is
connected with the latter .. by . a ..tunnel.
Should these works be destroyed,- the 'effects
on the working j classes connected^ with the
mine will be terrible, and great misery must
result. - The employes -of the company num

The Trouble In Ireland.
London, November 14th.— The Observer

land, but intend to defer action. until the

The St. James Gazette, in a leading edi

that the Ministry are driven, or being driven,
toward legislation creating a peasant pro
prietory throughout Ireland, probably with a
view to extending its operation to the rest of
the United Kingdom later on. The ultimate
means will probably be the purchase of land
by the State and its distribution to the peas
antry, to be paid for in certain term.i of
years. Nothing short of this will be accepted
by the Irish agitators.

. iDISrATCUES Or SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.]
' 'New Yoke, November — Jud^e Davis
this morning rendered an elaborate. ' decision
in the case of Philp. r. He said : The accused
is charged with i two offenses. First— That
he '" wrote 1 the "'f so-called - * letter, counter
feiting the signature of Garfield thereto ;
and, second, that after Garfield made a pub
lic denial of having writ such a letter, the
accused wrote * the editorial "L ying, ami
Sticking to It," and asserted ..that General
Garfield was a liar in denying the authorship
of it. It is apparent that no such person as
Henry L. Morey : existed at Lynn, Ma b.
The letter is unquestionably a forgery, and
not in .. the handwriting of Garfield. The
question of the guilt or innocence of Philp
must be left to a jury to determine. The gen
uineness of Morey is a very important (actor in
the case.'-. Philp must be held to answer, un
less ;he can show I that Garfit M wrote the
letter. Judge Davis said that Mr. Hewitt's
connection with the transaction is of the most
extraordinary character. Hart testified that
when he received the letter, the very singular'
way in which it ' reached him caused ; his sus
picions to be aroused. He saw its impor
tance, if genuine, as a weapon of deadly
power in the ' hands of ' Garfield's political
foes. He was not satisfied to publish it upon
the examination which he and his editorial
staff cculd make, and he therefore took the
letter and the envelope to the Democratic Na
tional Committee for inspection! He there
saw, Hewitt, Barnum,' Randall and, several
others. | Hart showed them" the papers, and
said in substance that he did not want -to
publish the letter if it was a forgery, but if
it was genuine, he did, and he wanted no
other paper to get ahead of him. He says it
was examined by ■':..'■." i ■!•'--'*'"; 'V ;
.-.;'. '/all THE PERSONS NAMED,
And Hewitt made the closest and most care
ful examination, and pronounced the letter,
both body and signature, to be the handwrit
ing of I Garfield. , Photographs were taken for
the use of the National Committee, and Halt
returned with the letter to his office ; but his
mind was not fully satisfied, and so, late in
the evening, he sought and found Hewitt
again and was assured. Hewitt had exam
ined a large number of General Garfield's
letters, aud thought the Morey letter was
genuine, and this was clinched by impressing
Hart's I mmdi with I the idea that he would
have made it «ut a forgery if he could. It is
not very surprising that Hart,' with the usual
anxiety of newspaper publishers to be ahead
of their neighbors, should have published the
letter without further inquiry ; but it is as
tounding that a man of known sagacity and
of great experience in business and in public
affairs,' and who is supposed to have a decent
respect for truth and justice, and .who speaks
as an expert in writing, with all the suspicious
circumstances that attended the reception of
the letter, with the envelope and its erasures
before him, with the city Postoffice and sta
tion stamp on its back, with the letter marked
"personal and confidential," and addressed
to some person whom he certainly did tot
know, with the letter before him, the con
tents of which, if true, would be greatly in
jurious, and if false Would do as- much wrong
to his intimate friend as a base and wicked
assassin's stab, should have thought it just to
press and cause 'its publication without first
removing all doubts as to iiRC-harncter. How
ever much an equitable division may leave
for. others,. upon .Mr. Hewitt must rest the
larger part of the responsibility for the first
publication of the base and shameful forgery,
and bis subsequent relation ,tri the forgery
does "not lift a single shadow from ' his con
duct, He was a member of the National
Committee. He doubtless knew
THE EXTENT and PURPOSES
,For which it was taken and used by that
committee," and j that i it ' went, forth to the
country with the sanction of his indorsement.
He knew beyond question that it met speed
ily with ' an indignant denial from General
Garfield, who denounced the letter as a base
and stupid forgery, and its sentiments as bru
tal." My mind has reached a clear conviction
that the so-called I Morey letter, in ) its body,'
signature and all its parts, is not in the hand
writing of General Garfield, but ie altogether
a forgery, perpetrated by some person or per
sons for the purpose of deceiving the people
and defrauding them and General Gai field of
their I votes. • The j evidence bearing - upon
Philp's guilt or innocence of the forgery is :
voluminous, - and ' would '- - demand careful
analysis when taken in connection with other
evidence in the cape. It tends to establish a
conspiracy to accomplish a national crime.
The conspiracy poirts to men in other quar
ters and of far higher positions, of. whom he
may have been an accomplice or only a
dupe and tool. It is better, therefore, that
the question of the actual guilt of forg
ery be left to the consideration of a
jury, ; before "> whom g additional, and
perhaps ; more ' \ decisive ' evidence may
be brought. '--; Right thinking men everywhere
must want not only the guilty pant-bar] for
this appalling crime, but laws enacted to
properly meet such cases in the future. i It is
wholly at war with the safely and sanctity of
popular government.'. Fortunately, no body
of men hold the ' consciences of the people,
and no party fealty is ' strong; enough 1 1 in
terpret the sentence of condemnation which
honest men of all parties pronounce upon
such guilt. The men most guilty in this mat
ter may not be , brought to justice, but they
will find no party willing to bear the just
measure of infamy and scorn that await them.
As they failed in their guilty purpose, they
will fair of the' approval of those even for
whose success they have done the guilty
work. It will be small consolation to know
that they have gained by this ' forgery I a few
useless electoral votes, cited; an infuriated
mob to murder . a ■ few unoffending human
beings, and caused a few of their own agents
to suffer for perjuries and misdemeanors.
I j DURING the DELIVERY OF the DECISION
The Court-room was very quiet, the auditors
listening with close attention to every word.
Amusement was manifested by smiles during
the passage portraying the utter failure of at
tempts to show that such a person as Henry
L. Morey ever had existence ; and there was
a slight ' rut-tie as many of the spectators
turned to look at one another during the
comments of the Court on Mr. Hewitt's con
nection with the case. I When Judge Davis,
closed ! by announcing that he should hold
the prisoner. General -.Pryor put ! he question
as to* the amount of bail. The * Court" said
the bail , could remain as ' already fixed —
85,000— and | the present bondsmen would
be jj?J accepted. Defendant -: is / held . to
answer the charge '/of - criminal libel,
and '• ' must r -; be - committed "', or r give * bail.
At the suggestion of Mr. Brook, the Court
consented to adjourn the preparation 'of the
new bond until Monday at 12 M. Counsel for
Air. Hart rose and said the witness Lindsay,
in his confession, had alleged that he (the
counsel), when conversing with him, j before
witness testified, remarked : " That is all you
will have to swear to." -The counsel denied
this, and declared that he | only said to wit- j
I ness : " That will do "—meaning that the in- ;
terview was ended. I Judge Davis said he had
nothing to do with this, but absolved counsel
from any charge of improper behavior in the
public proceedings,. He referred, to the tat
ter's conduct in securing the production of,
the Morey letter and - envelops in Court,' and
counsel expressed his thanks for the Court's
remarks. - The court-room was then vacated.

7 \ New t Yore, \ November \ 13th. — Abratn S.
Hewitt 'makes reply to the opinion of 'Judge
Davis in the Philp case, in so far as it relates
to himself. "He says : The Judge who sits
upon the bench. is supposed to know the evi
dence i which has - been ; given by ' a witness.
Certainly he should examine before he under
takes to make a statement as to its nature,
and to draw conclu-kns from it. That Judge ■
Davis has. not performed this duty, the fol
lowing comparison of his statement with my
i testimony will serve to •' prove." * A * passage
i is quoted from the opinion in which it is made
j to appear that the Morey letter was not pub
lished until after Mr. Hart had it examined
by Hewitt. f Hewitt says : "Now a simple I
j and unanswerable reply to all this statement, j
and the : extraordinary cnmnientß in which j
' Judge Davis has seen fit to indulge, is, that (
the • letter j had already \ been published in ,
Truth befcre I had ever seen Mr. Hart or the j
; original * letter, or * any copy/ of - it. This .

because I had sworn in his presence aDd after

which ; Mr. Bliss intervened to j verify the
dates, that the interview with Mr. Hart and
: the examination I of the letter, took place on
the 20th of ; October, after its publication in
Truth, and ; not before. I do not know
whether Mr.'* Hart made a mistake in his tes
timony as to the date, but if he did, there is
no possible justification for Judge Davis to
base his statement on this mistake, in order
to attack from the bench th,e character ( f cit
izens after the date ■ had : been' fixed beyond
the « possibility of : all '. controversy. ; While
writing this statement, I sent a messenger to

the gentlemen present, I declared the body of
the letter not '.£> be in • the handwriting of
Garfield, f Tbe second or amended fac similes
were only published in Truth, over which it

who has kept track of this flagrant pi- of
political scoundrelism." Abram S. Hewitt
first gave character to this forgery by declar
ing it to be genuine. He seems never to have
put himselt to the trouble of inquiring of
General': Garfield,"; cor 'of | submitting j the
forged letter to the examination of experts,
nor of testing the genuineness of the.en
velope, nor of endeavoring to ascertain
whether any such man as H. L. Morey ever
lived, nor of ferreting out the curious state
ment that the letter was found in his effects,
nor of endeavoring to ascertain what these
effect* were, and where they were when ad
ministered on, where he lived or what he
was. I Indeed, he seems to have industriously
shut his eyes and ears to the most superficial
indications tending to show that the letter it
self was a fabrication. Hewitt's cross
examination places him in a very unenviable
and unfortunate position, from which he will
find it quite difficult to relieve himself."
- -'' How the Case Stands at Present.
Chicago, November 14lh.— The Inter,-
Ocean's New York special says : The Grand
Jury will reassemble to-morrow morning, but
it is not likely that any additional indict
ments will be found to-morrow against the
persons implicated | in the forged Morey let
ter. Kenward Philps' bail will be renewed.
An indictment is cot likely to be found
against him before Wednesday. That one
wi 1 be brought in follows as a matter of
course after the decision of Judge Davis.
The only indictment actually found thus
far is that against O'Brien, alias Lindsay. A,
bill', against him has been * ordered, but has
not been formally filed.'; Samuel IS. Morey
will be used as a witness by the prosecution.
The evidence, against j Philp is practically
complete, and under it, it is said, he cannot
well escape . conviction by a fair, impartial
jury, should the prosecution desire to press
for it. "' What is deemed very desirable by the
prosecution, however, is to trace all the rami
fications of the case, and secure all. the evi
dence possible. . This is being, done with a
success that is gratifying. The evidence that
H. la. Morey ever existed is fast being blown
away. tli ■'.'■:'J^f, f .n;vs i^'v , f-t'' t --';/ :•:■•■ "'
