Boston, Oct, 2 The following
letter from 8. J. Simmons, brother
of the Collector, Is published in the
Herald:
Boston, Oct. l.-Editor Herald
I well know the opposition I shall
meet with In giving tbe following
facts to the public, I and I alone
am responsible for the statement I
am about to make. The question
Is asked, 'whut Is Butlerlsm?' It
Is chicanery, fraud and corruption.
For three years, as a Uuited States
officer, in government hours, and
using government time, I have
done that for the Butler nnrtv
which at this time brings a blush
ot shame to my face I have gone
to New Bedford, Lawrance, Fall
River, Salem and other places, and
have used the power I possessed as
a United States office to Intimidate
men. ia the liquor buviness into
working and voting for B. F. But
ler. I have, while an officer, pack
ed caucuses in Boston und other
places mentioned above, In the in
terest of Butler. 'I well know that
Butlerywith all the power he has.
will endeavor,' as his leaders have
Blated, to crush me, but fearlessly
I give to the public these tacts.
and hold myself personally respon
sible for what I soy. I have re
ceived money from United States
Marshal Usher and other Butler
men to carry out the nefarious work
of Butlerism while in New Bed
ford, just before the Butler caucuses
last year. , I received money from
the hands or Butler's pnrtucr to
carry the caucuses there, and mo
ney was used for that purpose. I
received money from Usher to go to
Fall River and pack the caucus for
Butler. I stand ready as a young
man, formerly a strong Butler man,
to take the stump In any plane be
tween the hills of Berkshiro and
the shore of P.'ovlncetowu, to pro.
claim to the State the rottenness
and corruption that fills to reple
tion the Butler organization. I
well know that 1 shall be accused
of treachery and falsehood, but I
stand ready to meet any Butler man
on any platform in any place in
the State, und discuss the merits of
Bgtlerv They will call me insane
perhaps, butevcry man who knows
mei and kois my record as a sol
dier and oltl.ear ill bay I mean just
what I say.iand have couftsrc jtp
back it up at any time and in any
place. I hold myself personally
responsible for every word I utter,
and It Id my earnest wish to speak
before tbe people of Salem as soon
possible on this matter. I shall be
attacked on every side bv Butler
men who have been my friends,
but with truth on my side, and pos
sessing the pluck to sneak, I defy
them, one and all, nod I now throw
down my guugo.
, (Signed) S. J. Simmons.
In Missouri, the contest is be
tween the Democrats and Indepen
dents. Carl Schurz, the great Ger
man leader and orator, has taken
his stand with the latter. In
Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin,
the Democrats have retired and
left the field to the Independents
and Republicans. In Indiana and
Illinois, the fight Is three cornered.

The Enterprise Conrier, In no
captious spirit, aks us what wo
would do to reclaim tho State from
misrule. The question U easily
answered. The performance is
more difficult.
Except special elections, there
will be uouo until elections arc
held for members of the I.cgM.t
ture aud Congress next full. Our
advice to the friends of reform In
the several counties would be," to
go to work when the proper time
arrives, to carry the elections.
Bring out as candidates your
strongest and most available men,
having in view the JefiVi-soiiinii
standard of honesty, capability
and fidelity to the State.
Each county will be more coin
pctent to decido its plan ot can
vass, aud tlio Issues on which it
can best win the tiht than miy
other for It. Iu this molo of can
vass they will not bo embarrassed
by a State ticket. Cltirko can
choose her own battlo ground,
Marshall hers, Monroe hers, and
Neshoba hers. There is no ncca-
slon for a bed oi Procustcs to

jective point for the concent mtiou
of all tl.eir mercies. Reason
would condemn a course of action
or party shibboleth that would
preclude assistance from any ounr
tor. We would draw no "dead"
line with the warning cross over
and you will be shot. If any vo
ter, moved by a patriotic desiro to
promoto the true interests of the
State, seeks ntiilintion with us in
the attainment of that object, God
forbid that we should "-look into
his face to tell tlio color of his
skin."
We have observed that in Ter
rcbone purlbh, Louisiana, the
white men and the colored men
have united in framing a ticket
which represents white mid Hack,
capital and labor. In some of our
counties tlio same phin mlht bo
adopted with good effect. AV'o do
not recommend nor oppose it ; but
cito it to commend tlio spirit nt
the bottom of it, which prefers a
victory for the right to the gnitif.
cation of a prejudice. Ai.a v.c
cite it as mi cx:un;lo of what the
foes of tistirptitioii und dishonest
government are doing in that
Stoto where the whites arc ns loy

organized militia of the State.
From this action a reign of terror
exists. I issiitM.1 my proclamation
on the ?'2d instant, commanding
these armed band to disperse ami
retire to their homes within three
days, and hereafter refrain from
a repetition of such actions. They
aro still under nrins, and I. am
powerless to enforce my orders

I fear would hasten a contest,

Adams, a man who was uliarly (
the product of the old fur-tiading
poet of St. Louis, and the greater
portion of whose life was one of
daring adventure and hazardous
enterprise.
He was born in St. Louis on the
last day of the last century, just
two minutes, as ho has been told
by his mother, before midnight on
the Slst of December, li'.Hi. His
father, Calvin Adams, came here
from the Stato of Connecticut lu
1701, and Was the first to start a
ferry at this point with Mr. Fleet.
His father purchased tho Mot. ml
tract, south of Chotard avenue.
Iu 1813 David and his fattier, with
James, a younger brother, joined
a party of adventurers for Mexico,
which was then undergoing the
throes if revolution, und sidtd
with the patriots who were fight
ing to emancipate themselves from
the Spanish yoke. In the lirst bat
tle old Calvin Adums was kiUed
and bts two sons were taken piiau-
tiers and marched .to tho City of
Mexico, where they were confined
In a dungeon. ' . ''.
They were nearly starved mid
their e'seftpo, and just as they had
crossed the Sabine river, which
was then the boundary between
Mexico aud the United States,
they discovered a squad of cavalry
on the other side, which was In
pursuit of them. Mr. Adams re

"played out In New York," when
we have read Mayor llavemeycr's
recent account of tho extraordinary
