,nr--1 hope yon will excuse the liberty taken by
me in intruding these lines upon your nitice.
YTou do ubtless remember that It was nut a
"trippled soldier" who receired yourself and
friends on your visit to this cemetery, and it must
necessarily asurprise yu to see It in print asserted
tat such was the fart. The mran spoken of in
the puhtl!eation has served as janlt r sioce Januna
ry. lrSi. and t)eiiie a not,!ri~n hi·e r w,,C i. il.
lhs been several times cinvicted, i'upooed np in
'hoe who listened to h:m for his peuniary
-cu- nfit.
As to myself. it never entered my mind for an
irnstant to make any such cuntemptible (-arge
against you or any one without a cause, and I
was as much atonrhbed by the aspersion when it
nist my vjew as yu possibly could have been.
'lthough by principle a thorough lIepublcan, still
I would ot. for their sake. descend to so low a
iit. nor be pirsa nally unkind to a visitor.
I hope tl-at this statemeut will dispel your
lil-its as regarI, nryseif.

alter date, which was March 13, iG7. The note
was part of the assets of the bank when it failed.
Defendant pleaded that the bank was put in
liquidation illegally, inasmuch as the currency act
of the United States was not complied with, and
therelfore the institutioh could not he put in the
Iiands of a receiver. " There never," It was
averred. "was a legal protest made of ore of its

That by force, and without the warrant of law,
an ,omcer of the treasury departmient of the

certifiecate of stock and power to transfer, and
being also president of smid bank, and havt-g the
full management and control of Its affairs a
sforesaid, came to this respondent and persnaded
him to accept the transfer of said three hondred
and flty sbarea of stock, and to hold the same in

give his own note, to hb own order, for 637,721 11,

Dunham, this respondent beiang requested an'
qrged thereto by said May and othess, the friends
*,f said Dunham. on the ground that the sa I
Dunham being tbsert from the cl'y, and his not.
dee, this oempliance with their request would
save the stock from being thrown upon the mar
ket and sacrficed: whereas, in May or June, a
large dividend would be declared, and the esgck
citinue as valuable, and that when said D)oniam
should return, the whole matter would be ar
ranged: that said note was without value to anl
one, and was given only to be used to represent
a transaction between the said Dunham and the
said May, until the former should return."
It was further'leaded that, if the note was en
tered upon the books as the property of the bank,
it was dine irregularly, and should have been
placed to the credit of the respondent as the last
and only indorser, and, should it have been en
leied to the credit of May, "then the act was
ilIt gal, and the said May, as presi.lent of the b ink,
transacted with himself as an individual, and he
well knowing that the note was without value.
and wua only given to him as a counter to ex
press the aforesaid transaction; that the bank
gave no consideration for said note; that though
the ermoit of said note might have been placed
to the credit of said May, vet it was done by his
direction as the president and manager of the
allairs of said bank, he well knowing why it was
given and what it represented, and that he cool I

G;ideon Welles, says a Washington correspond
ent, roes out on horseback every afternoon, look
ing like a gray dervish. He likes the lazy en
jyment of office. Seward stays at bome of
lRghts, drinking sherry kindly furnished by Mar
shal Murray. Self-enjoyment is the key of his
character ; selfgratifcatlon his chief delight. HM
loves to eat and drink and talk genteelly, and on
a loll stomach to nladite huge briefs about the
state. It is most natural that this Prince Hal of
materialista should be, at the end, a buyer of
lands and a builder of game preserves. It is not
impossible that Alaska attracted him because it
was a nursery of canvasback ducks. Reasonlng
from the pleasures of the table to the plekures
ao the stalto, he coneelved the idea of catching
the whole rae of wild ducks in the egg. Being
old and thin of blood, the dream of warm fura
gave him aspirations towards the land of the ea
otter and the silver fox. And so, out of his reo
luptuary worship, he sat, like one of the old
gods, a treaty maker to the car, and fetched
seven millions' worth of marketing home. Mr.
Seward is the state purveyor; look back tte the
origin of bh name, amd you will probably Lnad t
to be sIeard.
