To All Whom it Man Concern,
In tho published proceedings of the
late Democratic State Convention 1 am
reported aa saying that I was opposed to
tho Chairman appointing the Committee
on Credentials. Such I did not say. The
then Chairman, Sewell C. liiggs, I knew
would have appointed a fairer Committee
from this county than
the Caucus Ring packed on four out of
the ftvo committeemen from this county.
And again I did not propose that Wil
liams' nomination for Congress bo made
unanimous; I never said such a tiling, it
was some other person who said it. And
further, when I named John O'Byrne
for Congress, I did not then know, as 1
had been out before the Committee on
Credentials, that his ambition had been
appeased by the New Castle caucus pack
ing Ring by appointing him as one of the
State Central Committee. It is not sup
posable that tho Committee will appoint
him Chairman, however, because tho
Convention happened to begin calling
New Castle county first. I will further
state that I had no idea that O'Byrne
would be nominated for Congress; 1 only
named him for that office as a compli
ment to his ambition. And I will fur
ther say, in my opinion, there never was
a Democratic State Convention assem
bled that was more under the control of
a despotic Ring; three bogus delegates
admitted from this hundred; four votes
refused fr
sen tees, and four votes admitted from
Seaford hundred that luid not been ap
pointed according to the call of Sussex

The ijitfcot Hoboken Outrage*
New York, Sept. 2- The greatest efforts
have been marie in official circles in Hobo
ken to screen the mendier of tho City Coun
cil who attempted in col'usiou with a police
man to perpetrate an outrage on a strauge
young girl who had Just arrived from Balti
"'re in quest of her two brothers. Public
indignation is now at fever heat. Tho po
lice commissioners, who at first took no m
tiee of the case, have accordingly determined
to sift the niutlcr to tho bottom. They
have obtained the unme ot the offender,but
they keep il secret.
Ho not ouly assaulted the girl by drag
ging her into a vacant lot, till frightened
from his villainous purpose by the ap
proach of a milkman, but carried et! her
hat and shawl, and tore away the pocket of
her dress, containing a few dollars, all she
possessed. And yet a police sergeant com
mitted her to a oeil, where she w as kept
during the pleasure ot the police adminis
tration, while not one of those who trans
gressed against her has been made amena

WHO IS RUSSELL ?
IVY OROHOE ('Alt Y EGGLESTON.
(CONCLUDED.)
When a month or two later, I wns
sont with my command to BlulTton, a
little place immediately on the water,
and u good deal of water service in op
eu boats was expected of me, my first
care was to train my mountaineers in
the use of oars and sails. With the ex
cept Ion of Russell, one sergeant and
myself, not a man in the battery knew
the difference bet ween a must and a keel
and so 1 determined to divide tho com
puny Into boat's crews for drill, and
make of Russell my drill sergeant.—
When the order providing for this was
read on parade,Russell saul nothing. 1
hardly reached im quarters before lie
came, cap in band, asking to see
private.
"Captain," said be, when wo were
alone, "I must beg you to excuse me
from this boating dun
do it."
"But you must," I returned, "the
nicn must be taught to handle the boats
and your skill and experience are quite
i udispensiblc."
"But I have no skill or experience in
the matter, captain," lie replied. "The
truth is, I do not know even the no
melature of a boat's several parts. 1
do know the bow from the rudder, but
that is the extreme limit of my knowl
edge on the subject."
This from an ex naval officer was cer
tainly rather odd, but, will the reader
believe it, 1 could not bring myself to
quest i
subject or even to suspect his veracity,
in which I bad learned to have the most
implicit confidence. He was not at all
averse to boating duty in itself. On
the contrary , when the oar was put in
his hand, lii.s supply muscles lent them
selves with a will to the severe physical
toil. The man seemed to rejoice in the
opportunity, thus given him to hring
his strength and his spirit into play .
When ills fellows quitted the boats
in utter weariness he would betake him
self to my little shell and row herabout
for hours i
pended vitality. But he knew nothing

one day, wltieli he told me were put
there while lie was in the navy, it «lid
not occur lo me to question him as to
the truth of that story,
trary, 1 thought at the moment of
possible explanation of the v
matter. Perhaps lie had
g«*an in the nevicpjund if so,his tectmi
i*al ignorance of boating was not. alto
gether unaccountable. I was surpris
ed, however, to see that, tin* letters on
bis arm were not; "W. H.," but "W.
W.," a fact of which Iu* volunteered
an explanation.
•'My name is not Russell, captain,"
lie said, "but Wallace, though for a
good many years I luive preferred to
uso my mother's rather than my
lather's name."
I accepted Ids explanation, and re
spected his wish to be culled Httssll
still. Ho imposed no pledge of secresy
upon me, but I keptlilssecrct, sacredly,
respecting it as a c onfidential commu
nication from one gentleman to au
nt her.
I had lyvrcMyJsettled it In my mind that
Russell's connection with the navy
had been in the capacity of surgeon,
when he came to me one day with the
request that lie might he allowed to go
to Charleston, for the purpose of stand
ing an examination to the navy as a
lieutenant. This time,I confess, I was
astonished, and so I went with him be
fore the board, whet
lie passed his
fully that he wt
once, and put in command of a newly
built gunboat. Shortly afterward, he
handled his vessel so well in a fight, nil
the harbor, as to secure an official com
pliment and a promotion.
As 1 was ordered to Virginia .soon
afterward, 1 lost sight of Russell, and
until August, 1873, I heard no more
of him. 1 was editing the Hearth and
Home, and, oddly enough 1 was just
beginning to write this sketch ot my
singular acquaintance when Russell
himself walked into my Broadway
■etnembered
him. He was well dressed in a quiet
velvet suit, and was hardly at all
changed. He told me he was married,
and was living at No. — West Forty
third street ; that he was practicing
law r , being senior member of the firm
of Wiutermute «te Russell, for that his
real name was Wintennute, and
that, his partner, Russell, was a cousin.
He gave me the firm's card, and begged
me to call upon him both at hi* house

house, it was a well-built one of

something of Russ^H'sown air of quiet

of more pretentious brown stone mu li
sions.« The door plate bore the single
word "Wintormute."
