WEDNESDAY. JULY 21. Gaktixld ij guilty, while Porter la only iiy. "If we only had Straight," said a Republican, "we could win, but with Porter failure ia certain." W challenge the Garfield organs to publish the decision of the Cook County (Ulinois) Court upon the De Golyer swindle. Theki la a amall crop of Southern outrages and bulldozing being gathered by the Radical press. It is early yet, and like all forced fruit, has not the desired flavor and snap. Ir Pokte can not make any better speeches than he made last night, Frank Lenders will have him bottled up inside of thirty days. Poor Porter! You had better withdraw and let Streicht bare the race. I APPiiL to you, fellow-citizens, whether at any Um wttan thirty years has Interest been bo cheap. What is the reason for ll?-Porter a Speech. Here in Indiana cheap Interest is owing to an act passed by a Democratic Legislature, as everybody knows. Fkask Lasders can run down to his farm and stay twenty-four hours any time and have more friends to meet him on his re turn at the depot to welcome him than were there to greet Porter on Wednesday, after an absence of three years. Fortib tried hard last night to hoist the bloody Bhirt The flap and flutter were lost in the hot and sultry July air. Porter probably thicks, with that blatherskite Kllpatrick, that "more money and the bloody shirt" will be required. "IT Is too much like an Importation to be welcomed without restriction ; too much like an Invasion to be looked upon without solicitude." Uarneld's Letter. This must refer to the recent Radical scheme to CDlonizs Indiana with pauper Southern negroes. Evidently it was an "importation" and an "invasion." Ma. Porteb feared that he would not know his own neighbors on Wednesday night, and with a forethought, entirely creditable to one who is expected to hive the entire Rspublicaa vote, had a friend station himself immediately at his back and whisper to him the name of each neighbor as he or she filed passed him at the reception. Thk Radicals always carry Indiana on paper before the election. Buck Terrell can figure it down to a fine point. We understand that Porter's exact majority is 2.300 Ten thousand is their usual majority when figured out early in the canvaes. This County is set down for lfOO. It might as well have been made 3.000 on the first guess, anyhow. A Gosport, Ind., correspondent writes us and asks the following conundrum, which we refer to our esteemed morning contemporarythe Journal: "If the righteous scarcely are saved, in God's name, what will become of Garfield?" The correspondent then changes the subject yery abruptly and says that Owen County will give Hancock and English 800 majority. Th special accounts of the Porter reception, and in particular those concerning that miserable fiasco called the Irish Republican Convention, which went over the wires to the Chicago and Cincinnati papers were crammed full of misstatements, to call them by no worse name. The correspondents of those papers know that the Porter reception was a forced, hot-house affair, and, as a grand gathering of the people of the State to welcome the Republican candidate, was a lamentable, humiliating failure. Haas is the way that the mud is mixed and moulded in the Chicago Tribune shop: PRESIDENTIAL. Hancock's Connection With the Oil Swindle Farther Shown Up, Placing the General in a Worse Light Than at First How Free Speech is Interfered With by Alabama Democrats. Attempts to Break Up Republican Meetings With Addled Eggs and Noise. Additional Testimony That Hancock Conspired to Depose President Lincoln. We commend it to our esteemed Radical contemporaries of thia city theournal and News. Their old-fashioned mud batteries don't do the work. Get one of the Tribune pattern. - I might ask any Democrat In the State of Indiana what pledge has the Republican party made tnat it has not fulfilled. Criea of .None.") Porter's. Brass Band Speech. And we might ask Mr. Porter if the Republican party was pledged to keep an army of car i etbag thieves in the South to steal every thing in sight If ao, did it fulfill its pledge? Was the Republican party pledged to create the Freedman'a Barings Bank and rob the confiding negro of his last dollar? If so, did the Republican party keep its pledge? Was the Republican party pledged to keep Federal soldiers in the Southern States and maintain a military despotism? If so, did the Republican party fulfill ' its pledge, or did the Democratic party create the "inevitable" and compel Hayes to remove the troops? Was the Republican party pledged to keep in office an army of thie ves, such aa Robeson, Belknap, Boss Shepherd, Williams, Babcock and others, and did it fulfill its pledge, or did the Democratic party, when it obtained control of the National House of Representatives, compel these thieves to step down and out? Was the Republican party pledged ;to reverse the will of the American people aa expressed at the ballot box in 1876, and, by the agency of crimes, seat Hayes? Was the Republican party pledged to surround the polls with Federal bayonets to intimidate American citizens in the exercise of . the right of suffrage, aided by a set of Supervisors, Marshals and Deputy Marshals, pimps, bummers and convicted felons, to arrest without warrant and imprison without trial? And did the Republican party fulfill its pledge? And now, Mr. Porter, will you answer? You must do it, or you must sit dumb aa a dead oyster. In due time, Mr. Porter, we will ask you more questions, eine aaking questions aeeaa

to be your style. You are the candidate of a party whose leaders are corrupt; of a party that has cloven down Constitutional righto; that has Invaded the most sacred rights of citizenship; that has bludgeoned truth and exalted fraud, stolen the public funds and debauched every department of the Government, and that now has a candidate for President whose record aa embodied in a Committe of his peers you dare not read on the stump. Indeed, we challege you to do It, Mr. Porter. REPUBLICAN KNOW-NOTHINGS. General J. H. Martindale, of Rochester, N. Y., soon after the nomination of Garfield, made a rattling ratification speech in which he denounced Irish-American citizens in a style of advanced KnowOfothinglsm. We publish an extract or two just to show that the spirit of Know-Xothingtsm is deep seated in the Republican party: 1 had an Irixh regiment in my command daring the war. They were cursed with a Colonel of their own rare. They (the Inh) were priext-ridden In the times of the Druids, more than 2,000 yean ago, ami to they are to-day. With rare and choice exceptions, they have belonged and always will belong, to the Democratic party. IIitry doc not record a single half -century when that poplc, as a raeethrtre done anything for liberty. They have given us individual specimens, like selections in a cabinet of minerals; some sparkling with choice metal, others dark as ebony wrought from bg. e v Look through history, from the day when In the oldest England, on a peninsula of the German Ocean, the Sleswlck of the Angles the German race of which they were pioneer conquerors, took the lead Angles, Saxons, all the while Germans in the words of the historian, "whose long hair floated over a neck that ne'er bent to a Lord." They conquered and populated England and part of Scotland. Unhappily, they left Ireland aide at ntt worth the tittubte of conquest. This General Martindale is a representative Republican, and speaks for his party. The Rochester Union and Advertiser says of him "that he is a graduate of West Point, who resigned his Lieutenancy in the army after eight months' service and took to civil pur suits. He became a lawyer and has resided and practiced in Rocbesfer since 1851. In August, 1SG1, he obtained appointment as Brigadier General of volunteers and Berved in various capacities

with various record, until Septemter 13, 1801, seven months before the close cf the war, when, 'owing to impaired health, he resigned. During his residence of twenty-nine years here General Martindale has been a leading Whig and Republican, and a frequent aspirant for office. In 1SGG the Republicans nominated and elected him Attorney General of the State, Thus, it will be seen, he is a representative man of the Republican party the representative man in the Garfield campaign here, as his selection for chief orator at the Garfield ratification meeting by the Garfield Committee of Arrangements fully attests. His speech was one not prompted by or delivered from the impulse of the moment It was carefully written out in advance of the meeting and delivered from manuscript." Such ere the Republicans who are now engaged in their ribald abuse of Irish-American citizens. When this Martindale was called upon to take back his vile slanders upon Irish-Americans, he replied: "I should suffer from conscious cowardice if, in the presence of the discussions that have been going on in tbis city during the past week, I should apologize for or take back one word of my speech." And still we Lear of Irish Republicans, as we do of Irishmen in Ireland who favor the policy of England in subjugating their countrymen. GARFIELD YOUTH AND MANHOOD. Republican organs and orators continually slop over with reminiscences of Garfield's youthful exploits. To this no one should object. We are quite willing to admit that James A. Garfield was a good boy; that he was a nice young man, loved his mother, etc. We care not how florid msy be the eulcgiums that admiring partisans lavish upon him when referring to the days of his innocence. But James A. Garfield is now a candidate for the high office of President of the United States. The people demand, in estimating his fitness for such an exalted position, a knowledge of his mature manhood. Nursery stories do not answer the requirement. If Garfield was a good boy a good young man has he remained good? If s,' the public records will testify in his favor. Bat to bring forward that record publio documents in the archives of the Government is said to be, by those who are opposed to the truth, that it Is partisan mud-flinging. The Republican party has nominated James A. Garfield for President. It is anxious to obscure his record as a member of Congress. Why? Because that record is as infamous as can well be conceived. It is a record that covers Garfield with odium, and, what is still worse for Gai field and the Republican party, it is a record made by the Republican party itself. If the Republican party can persuade Democratic organs and orators to remain silent with regard to that record they gain an immense advantage, for in that case a candidate whose publio career is stamped with perfidy stands on an equality with a candidate whose whole life has been consistent with virtue and honor. We abominate the practice of manufacturing a case against a political opponent. We hold it to be in the highest degree execrable to publish baseless slanders against a candidate for the simple purpose cf defeating him. To falsely and maliciously sully the good name of a candidate that he may lose the confidence of his fellow -citizens is a crime so essentially devilish as to deserve the unutterable scorn of all honorable men. But if a candidate has shown himself to be vile, if he has proved false to his trusts, if he has' been guilty of acts and practices which disqualify him for positions in which exalted probity is the supreme demand, and the facts are established above and beyond successful contradiction, then it becomes the duty of ail honest men to expose his crimes and deny him official position. How stands James A. Garfield?- He was charged with official corruption. By whom? By his own party, by his own political friends and associates, and the charge was proved in open Court, and the Committee having charge of the case rendered the verdict A majority of the Committee wero distinguished Republicans, Th ej

ected cautiously. If it bad been possible, James A. Garfield would have been declared Innocent, but ha was pronounced guilty, and the Democratic press and the Republican , press, Democratic orators and Republican orators owe it to their country, to Its institutions, to its good name, to join in denouncing James A. Garfield. We are told that it makes no difference with Republicans for having nominated Garfield they will vote for him though guilty of crimes that shock the moral sense of the country. We do not believe it Republicans there are who will vote for their candidate, no matter what crimes stain his record, but there are other Republicans who will not thus degrade themselves. Bat if the Democratic' press of the country can be persuaded to treat James A. Garfield as an honest, upright, honorable man it will be regarded as a great triumph, and that there is a tendency In that direction there can be no doubt While Democratic organs are silent with regard to Garfield's crimes, the Republican organa are relentless in their pursuit of General Hancock. They do nos hesitate to lay hold upon falsehood and the vilest slanders and seed them broadcast over the land. Their mud batteries have been at work from the hour that the ilia J trious American was named as the Democratic candidate fjr President, and though his name and fame are unblemished, and his deeds of valor have gone sounding through the world, still Republican organs and orators do not hesitate to seek opportunities for gratuitous and infamous defamation. Those who lay bare Garfield's crimes are not required to indulge In such attacks. They take the report of the Poland Committee and find that James A. Garfield swore: I NEVER owned, received, or agreel to receive, any slock of the Credit Mobiller, or of tbe Union Faclnc Rr.llmad, NOR ANY DIVIDENDS OR PROFITS AKISINU FROM EITHER OF THEM. And then with all the facts In full view the Poland Committee declared as follows: lie (Oarneld ) agreed with Mr. Ames to tafce ten shares Credit Mobtller stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr. Ames received tbe 8U per cent, dividend la bonds and sold them lor 97 per cent., and also received the M per cent, cash dividend, which, together, paid the pnee of the Btcx-k and interest, and left a balance of tS). TIUS8U WAS FAID OVER TO MR. OAKFIELD BYACWrCK ON THE HERliEANT-AT-ARMH. AND MR. GARFIELD THEN l .NDHIWT OD THIS HUM WASTHfi BALANCE OF DIVIDENDS AF1ER PAYING iOR THE STOCK. Such Is tbe Republican verdict against James A. Garfield. It could not be worse, nor does the English language, in all of its thousands of words, supply any terms too

harah to fitly characterize James A. Garfield's crimes. The Republicans will ratify to night We invite the speakers, when they refer to Garfield, to make mention of the report of the Poland Committee. If they refer to his youth they should also refer to his mature manhood. The people are interested in hearing directly from Republicans upon the subject A JOKE. Tbe following dispatch went to the Cincinnati Times on Wednesday : Indianapolis, July lt. Delegates to the National Convention of Irieh Republicans are arriving on every train. Ed. Cunningham, of Des Moines, Iowa, Hot. A. L. Morrison, Judge 8uiley and other distinguished citizens of Illinois, are here as the advance guard of the delegation to arrive from Chicago. The first session of the Convention will be held this afternoon, but will close at 5:30 to take part in the Porter reception. Of all the humbugs that ever endeavored to take shape in this city the Irish-Republican Convention will certainly take the first premium. It was a dead flat failure. About one dozen delegates came from outside of the city, and the immense crowd that was promised to indorse Garfield and do other wonderful things failed to miterializ3. CLIPPINGS. Colonel Forney is to have 15,000 for his life of General Hancock. It will be published by a Philadelphia house. Evangelist Moody's school for girls, at Nortbneld, Mass., has been endowed handsomely by a Boston millionaire. Poster will find out, as Harrison did before him, that being a Republican candidate for Governor in Indiana is what the lato William Allen would have termed "a d d barren ideality." WIN FIELD 8COTT HANCOCK 12 345678 ! 10 1113 13 14 15 18171819 20 says the Washington Po6t, and calls attention to the fact that Hancock will be the twentieth President. Garfield got on Gaorge William Curtis civil service platform and wandered along for a short time, and then floundered over to Flannagan's platform, where he was satisfied and lelt b Im self in his letter of acceptance. Mr. Garfield says very guardedly that he indorses tbe platform of bis party "on nearly all the subjects on which It treats." It might have been well If he had labeled those he thought better to reject. General McClellan gives assurance that New Jersey will cast its electoral vote for General Hancock by a pronounced mtjorlty, and thinks tbe soldiers of the Army of the Potomac wid give him a generous support Bishop Scott, of the M. E. Church, has accepted rest from official labor, and at the age of seventy -e!gbt years he has retired finally to his home, near Odessa, Del. Forty-four years ago he entered the liintrant ministry, and for twenty-eight years he has been a Bishop. The Amateur Journalists are holding their annual Convention In Cincinnati this week. The truly good Deacon Richard Smith is giving them instructions, and seems to have taken them under his charge generally. The first question he aslLS each of them is, "Does your mother know you're out? The venerable -Hannibal Hamlin, whose term of office as a Senator from Maine expires next spring, announces his purpose to retire, and the Legislature will elect his successor next winter. lie has been In public llle, as Legislator, Governor, Congressman, Vice Presider. J and Senator since 1836. Ten years ago the venerable founder of the Koechlln family celebrated his gulden wedding, when 298 members of the family assem bled. The two hundred and ninety-ninth member was in childhood, but during dessert the three hundredth descendant made his appearance on the table In a cradle formed of a basket of flowers. Very little attention seems to have been given this year to the celebration of tbe EatUe of the Boy ne, on the 12th of July. In nine yean, when the two hundredth anniversary occurs, tbe exercises will doubtless be very interesting and animated. fJntilthenlt may better be celebrated in the breach than In the observance. These seems to be a latent Republican fear that Mr. Tilden will recover bis health sufflelently to assist in the management of the campojgri cm year, Ibers ja not nuca

danger bat the "old man" will be able for some little duty daring the coming campaign hunt, and be in at tbe political death of Mr. Garfield la November. That seems to have been a very pleasant call which the members of the National Com uflttee made to Mr. 1114en yesterday. Can the Republican organs find In it some of the germs of dissatisfaction for which they bave so earnestly sought of late. Mr. Tilden will take an active Interest in the campaign in New York, and Republicans Know that means that the State is Irrevocably lost to them. Bailor Thompson has embarked for California. He did not risk: himself on one of his an seaworthy old tabu, but took a parlor car. This would seem to indicate that he Is not so much of a sailor, after all, and that be still Inclines to the ways of land lubbers. Bailor Thompson la a conundrum. Abjut the only place be seems really to fit well In is that of writer of platitudes for State platforms for the Republicans of Indiana. Rkv. George Chainey, the Unitarian mini, ter of Evansvllle, this State, who recently recanted his religious belief, and announced his convertion to Atheism, delivered a long lecture In Chicago, Sunday, with Robert G. Ingersoll" as his sublect. He seems de

termined to prove that a man can descend further, without effort on his part. In three months than he can climb up by the hardest kind of labor in forty years, and he bids fair to succeed. The Republican papers sre giving Denis Kearney a parting kick. They say he has lost the little power he once had. They forget, however, that it was Democrats who kicked him out of place when his un worthiness and demagogy became thoroughly apparent. It la bigbly probable that tbe Republican candidate and Committees will be flickering with him for votes before the campaign is gone three months further. The latest resemblance which anxious friends have noted Is that General Garfield much resembles Mr. Lincoln in his traits of character. This is a severe reflection upon tbe martyred President's memory. Who could htve thought the day would come when his party would compare him favorably with a man who was condemned by a Committee of that party as a bribe-taker, without excuse or reason. Mr. Lincoln's friends and the people of the country will resent this base reflection upon bis memory. Mr. Porter is said to be excellent authority on the subjest of ties, gloves, scarfs, etc., etc , but who ever heard of him investing even a single dollar in Indianapolis for other than a selfish purpose? How many dwelling houses has he built? How many men hts he ever given employment, or how many dollars has he invested in factories, shops or business? These are questions he will have to answer before the campaign closes, and be and his friends might as well be ready for them when they come along. Mr. Can di dat k Porter came out fairly in bis speech with an Indorsement of the infamous doctrine that the Vice President has the right to count the electoral votes. As Senators Edmunds and Conkllng renounced this theory, Mr. Porter seems to prefer a position alongside of William E. Chandler, the little political manager, rather than with the statesmen and lawyers of his party. These distinguished Senators must have snubbed him in Washington sometime, else he would have been following in their wake. It is to be hoped the Republican fears lest those awful, wicked Democrats should get Into a fierce, bitter quarrel over the Chairmanship of the National Committee, are now allayed to a limited extent at least. Mr. William H. Barnum, of Connecticut, was yesterday unanimously elected Chairman, and he will now proceed to lay out Mr. Jewell with neatness and dispatch. He is one of tbe best and most experienced managers in the country. The Democracy would be willing to have another quarrel or two of that sort. Mb. Horace Maynard, Minister to Turkey, who was recently appointed Postmaster General, Is delaying bis return home becaure the Sultan is out of town, and he can not go out and weep on his v. eck and bid him farewell in a formal manner. So the Poitoffloe is without a head, merely because tbe man insists on observing the most excruciating demands of red tape. The Sultan would not worry, perhaps, if Maynard should take the vary first train out of Constantinople, even without waiting to say -ta! ta!' to him. If only Porter was over there, how well he could do up that kind of work. He could teach Mr. Sultan many new and Important lessons in a very short time. After October he will be asking, "Wko threw that brick?" and will have leisure of a month or two to go over and teach the citizens of Turkey how it is done In Indiana. Mr. Garfield showed good sense in his letter of acceptance. In one thing nt least. He refused to Indulge in any apprehensions concerning the "Solid Sooth," and the many evils which his party has predicted would come from that Bee lion. It is mild on all sectional questions, and his discussion of the question of Federal powers and State rights, though narrow and incomplete. Is yet not disfigured by references to the dividing lines of sections. He perhaps recognizes that tbe South is solid fiom necessity for self-protection because it desires to force the country to accept the most profound peace. When that section once finds it Is not to be ground into the dust for the benefit of thieves and plunderers; when it can see that it Is not to be made Into a Poland or a Hungary, and thus ostracised and outlawed, and when It ceases to be the excuse for sending troops and spies into the midst of its people, merely because they have Intel igence enough to know, and pride enougb to resist, oppression when all these things are assured, tbe South will no longer be solid. It will then divide np its forces In the Banie manner as any other section of the Union. All these will come when the sectional .party loses power in the Government, and the only real .National prty regains It. When this time comes Republicans may hope to divide the solid South, but not before. In re Porter. As there is no chance for Porter's election we submit the following to his consideration, taken from the Chicago Tribune of yesterday: WANTED A YOUNG RED - HAIRED LADY; traveling engagement. Appjy at once. Agency 84 East Fourteenth -st. A reporter applied, and learned that the young red -haired lady was wanted to join tbe side-show to a traveling circus. "What for?" "Way, to be an -Albino. A red-headed girl makes the best Albino. A human hair is a tube nearly white and transparent. The coloring mattter is inside; This coloring matter Is easily bleached out. When tbe coloring matter is bleached out of red hair it leaves it a shade of white more nearly resembling the balr of tbe true Albino t hat in tbe case of other kinds of bair A red-beaded girl makes the bast Albino. Here Is a red headed girl that la willing to be an Albino. - Why shouldn't I advertise for her? I don't see anything strange In that. The only strange thing about the matter Is, that one of a hundred redheaded girls that have come here to day, not one would consent to go with a side-show. Tney all want to go on the stage and be Clara Morrises." The late Governor Willard always contended that A. Galatin Porter would para for a very handsome Albino. Being an, Albino pays better -ihan running for Governor of Indiana and getting beat. There is more actual cash in iL Line tbe red headed girls who all wanted to go on the stage and be Clara Morrises, there are too many naxenhaired chaps ia Indiana who want to be Governor, but they are not adapted to the business.

BEAUREGARD AND HANCOCK.

How the Unhappy Stalwarts Go About to Invent Idle Lies. I New Orleans Picayune, July 7. To what desperate straits the Republicans are driven in a vain attempt to smirch Gen eral Hancock's record Is seen in the following extract from the Cincinnati Commercial: HANCOCK AND BEAUREGARD SOOTHINQ BYBCr FOB THE LA TT IB. Special to tbe Cincinnati Commercial. Toledo. O.. July 2. A gentleman In tbls city to-day received a letter from a friend In Vicksburg who was a resident of .New Orleans at the time General Hancock was in command of the latter city. He Incloses a copy of a note sent oy irenerai Beauregard to General Hancock in reply to an invitation from the latter to din ner. Tbe note ran thug: "General H - Please dont bumble me by those flags. I'll come and see you. but first remove them.' The flags were accordingly ordered down, and Beauregard dined with General Hancock, who was thus guilty of an open Insult to the flag to sooiiie ue lrritatea nerves oi an unrepentant neoei. General Beauregard was at the City Hall yesterday morning on business, when a re porter handed over the extract for his perusal. The veteran read the slip quietly to the end, and then broke into a laugh as he remarked, "What stories they do In vent:" "Then the statement Is falte?" inquired we reporter. "Yes, it is all a fiction; there ia not a word of truth in tbe article. I bave never been invited specially to dine with General Han cock; but twoyesrs since I met him at one of our annual Azttc dinners given in Phila delphia every 14th of Septem oer, to celebrate our entrance into the City of Mexico. It was i very pleasant gathering of old friends, many of whom had not met since the begin ning of the late war, to which no reference was made except to obtain information on some disputed military points. "An incident of the occasion was the cor diality with which the health of the Presi dent and the prosperity of the Union was drunk. "As to my ever refusirg to sit at a table where old friends were to meet once more to shake hands over the bloody cbaem of tbe past, became tbe 'old flag' waved over tbe table.it Is simply abiurd. I never warred against the 'old flag,' but fought for a prin ciple; that ip, to defend, as we firmly be heved. our threatened constitutional rights That old flag belonged as much to us as to tbe North; indeed, more so, for the Immortal 'Star Spangled Banner' was the song of a boutbern poet and patriot." ''General do you consider yourself an unrepenant Rebel? ' "I do not. When we appealed to the sword we bad to abide by Its decision, which we have corsfantly done, notwithstanding the provocation of tbe abominable recon struction laws, - which have disappointed even their originators. I was one of the first Confederate officers Immediately after the war who advocated quiet and peaceful sub mission to its consequences, advißiDg our people to turn their attention to rebuilding their homes and to tbe cultivation of our fertile soil, feeling confident that soor er or later the bouth would regain its influence in the government of tbe country. "Should any part of the North ever attempt secession, they will find whether the South is in earnest in its support of tbe Union and the old flag. The selection of General Hancock as the standard-bearer of tbe Democratic party is only a harbinger of the future." DISEASE SENT BY MAIL. A Horrible Infection Intended, Mr. Cornstock Thinks, for 11 1 m elf, Fallen Upon His Clerk. New York World, July 8.J About two months ago an envelope bearing a New York post mark, and directed to Anthony Comatock, was delivered at his office, 150 Nassau street. He was absent at the time, and the envelope beitg torn partly open, by rough handling in the mail perhaps, Mr. Ducret, bis secretary, opened it in the presence of several clerks in tbe office. It contained what appeared to be a porous plaster covered with foul matter. Its odor was very offensive, and thoee in tbe office at the time were at once affected by an itching and pricking sensation about the face. Ducret, who opened the envelope, handled the matter and smelled of it. When Mr. Comstock arrived, two hours later, he suspected that the mlstive had been cent to bim by some enemy to do him bodily harm. He caused the package to be destroyed, and sending to a drug store be procured a wash for himself and his clerks, as well as a disinfectant for his office. The subject was then dismissed and thought no further of. Two weeks later, while Ducret was walking with his brother, he noticed a return of the itching sensation about his neck. It was accompanied by an unusual purple discoloration of the skin. He returned to his house at 163 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, ill. Beginning at the lower extremities the disease gradually extended up over tbe whole body. The purple appearance of the skin was succeeded by a reddish rash accompanied by a high fever, and Dr. John R. Quinn, of 423 Kent avenue, who was called in, told a reporter last nigbt that the patient appeared at first sight to be suffering from ccarlet fever. The sjmptoms, however, soon assumed more the appearance of erysipalas. Ducret has now been confined to his bed for seven weeks. During that time the disease has been ac companied by a constant flaking off of tbe rkin, and the fever has continued very high, with but brief intervals, lhe joints began to swell, first on tbe left side, untii it was fouDd necessary to open tbe swelling at the left knee joint, and the left arm has become stiff at the elbow. At present the right knee is greatly swollen, and a similar operation will have to be performed. The patient is helpless, and is In constant suffering. He has wasted away almost to a skeleton, and his physicians fear that he will not have strength enough to withstand tbe disease. Dr. Quinn and Dr. Hutchinson can not make a diagnosis of tbe case. It is, they say, an unquestionable case of pyemia, the pus being of a very malignant type, and Dr. Quinn thinks that they have gained ground against the blood poison But they are com pletely at a loss as to the nature of the poison, and can not do otherwise than set upon the hypothesis that the envelope ad dressed to Mr. Comstock, which Mr. Ducret opened, was the cause of the malady. Dr. Quinn said last evening that Ducret was fir from being out of danger, bnt they had hope that be would be able to hold out until the blood poison had been expelled. Mr. Comstock, who was found at his resU dence, 354 Grand avenue, Brooklyn, said last evening that he had been anxious to keep the facts of Mr. Ducret's sickness from the publio for several reasons, one of which was that he did zot desire to give the perpetrator of the deed which he imputes without question to a vicious intent the satisfaction of knowing that his missive had ao nearly reached its destination. He said that he was satisfied that he knew who sent it1 but he was afraid be could not command evidence enough on which to make any arrest. He suspects a practitioner in New York whom he says he once arrested for a crime, and to whom he afterward traced an infernal machine which he had received by mail, but from which he had escaped uninjured. Tbe address of the present packsge, he says, was in tbe same handwriting. Dux ret, who is but twenty-three, he says was a most faithful young man In the discharge of his duties as Stenographer and Secretary, and tbe Society for the Suppression of Vice has cared for him during his sickness. Last night Mr. Ducret was resting more comfortably, his brother said, but they could not see any material improvement in his condition. The most troublesome and dangerous effects sometimes arise from the slightest cause, and often the ' baby's serious sickness tould be prevented by promptly using Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup at the beginnlag. Fries only twenty-five cents a bottle.
