Lanra's Letter. TERBE HAUTB, Jan. 28,1S7G.
MY DEAR FANNIE: It seems real funny to bo writing to you. I thought we never would be separated from one another. And do you know, with all the bother it is to find paper, pen and ink about this blessed house, I don't think writing is nearly so nice as talking. It was so easy to run over to your house to have a talk, and then one didn't have to wait such a dreadful long time to hear what ou had to say. I would tell you that it was perfectly horrid in you to go way off to a poky little village like Rockvillo to try and do something for yourself, as you cull it. But I don't believe yob more than half like it yourself, and so I am not going to be ugly or cross to my dear old friend—that's you, Fannie, and I beg your pardon right off for calling you old—whom I miss so much. So instead of scolding you, I will get my revenge for your leaving,by telling you all the gossip,and what a splendid time I have had, aud that I know will make you wish you were back here to talk it all over with me.
Fred has been over to see me twice this week, and sent me last nijibt ever so pretty a boquet, with lots of heliotropes in it, which, you know is an odorous way of telling me that be loves me. And I really do believe that he is love with me, though he never said so. I wish he would propose. I'm going to accept hm if he does, for I think it must be ever so nice to be engaged and call each other pet names, and make plans for house-keepiDg, and all that sort ol thing. Of course 1 uon't mean that it, shall be an engagement for keeps. You know he is awiully extravagant, and I don't believe he makes even as much money as he spends, to say nothing of his saving up any to go to house-keeping with. But I guess I had bitier not tell you how I propose not to have him, before he proposes that I shall.
Oh, Fanny, since you have been away, there has been such a bother about dear, little Mr. How e. It is such a mixed up affair I hardly know how to tell you about it. You know the bight before you went away Fred took us both to hear Mrs. RichingsBernard, or Bernard-Bichinps, whichever it is. How I do hate these double names, with a black line between ttpm I know I didn't like it, myself, —I'm speaking of the opera, mv deartrough maybe it was because I knew you were going away the next day, and that would have spoiled an angelic opera for me. Well, the next day the Express had an account of it,praising it up to the skies, and the Journal found fault with it for being suggestively immoral. Then there was an article in the Journal the next day, from Mr. Howe—but I am running ahead of my story. It wasn't signed, and nobody knew who wrote it then. It "went lor" the Express as Fred would say, though it didn't mention it. But is was downright severe on persons who use the phrase "to the pure all things are pure" to cloak or defend exheoitions of indeiency. I am sure it was good, for it sounded so much like a sermon when pa read it to us in the evenjng that I felt real sleepy and had to go to bed. But I masn't be no prosy or I will set yon to Fleep before I am done telling you about it. The next day—I believe it was the next day—the Express came out with a reply to it, accusing Mr. Howe of writing the article. And, oh my Fannie! it called him names and said he was all the time criticising people behind their hacks, and that he waB afraid to write over his own signature and said I don't knew how many other perfectly horrid things about him. But the worst and meanest things it said was that he wrote those awful articles in the Mail a long time ago, which were signed T. T. You know how they pitched into Dr. Read and called him lr. Blowhard, and said he was ignorant, when everybody knows he is one of the most learned men in the State, and Pa says he has one of the bigg»6t and best libraries in the conntry full of books in all aorta of dead and buried languages. Aud he reads them as -easily as you or 1 do English. Bnt, you *amotnber how those T.. T. articles said all kinds of mean things about Dr. Read and other people. Aud how everybody thought it was cowardly ho sav such bad things behind peoples b.olss. It wasn't really saying them behind peoples backs, tor they were published in the paper and everybody got to see them, and fo alter ail it wasn't behind their hacks,'but'then you know what I me.tn. People oHn't know, and couldn't find out who said is about them, and so couldn't "sass" back and that is about as mean as anythisg could be. Now just think of the bor rid Express saying d£ar little Mr. How* wrote M»f+e'things. Icn'l it too bai? I really think-there otight to be a law romp*liing thefse wicked papers :. 'tpeak rt-'t-'p-ctitiUy it n^t revwei.Uy of religious things, .«iid 1 mil t-ur« a
preacher of the gospel is a religious thing. I don't mean thing, but a person. If they had stopped a minute be fore they had made such a cruel charge against him, they would have remembered that one of those T. T. articles abnsed Mr. Howe. What it said about him wasnt as bad as it was about the others, to be sure, but then even as vicious a person as T. T. evidently was, coulan't find anything to Hay about him that was bad. Kow just think of tbo Express accusing him of writing them. Isn't it a shame? I just wish they would come around to the church some time and hear the dear little man preach, and find out how good he is. I don't believe it they ever heard him they could say such awful bad things. I don't believe they over go to church and so have got to thinking a minister of the gospel can be as bad as themselves.
But Fannie uow don't you think I am fibbing—they actually saiil lie denied writing them, and just about, as much as said he lied. Kow what do you think of that? Isn't it pbomnihle'? of course he said be didn't white them, and of course he didn't, if he said he didn't.
Things have come to a pretty pass if a minister of the gospel, whose whole life is given up to doin« good, and preaching from the commandments and the Bible, is to be accused of lying, just as if he was a common sinner.
If ever I meet any of the Expess editors at a dance I mean to ctft their acquaintance. I will show therm they can't talk about my pastor in that way. They are just too mean to live.
A little while ago you know that they sneered at Solomon's Song, which I am sure, is good though. I never read it, for it is in the Bible, and Mr. Howe says it is good, and so of course it must be.
Now you want to know what Mr. Howe said. Why, he didn't say any thing, of course, and he oughtn't to either. He bad told people he hadn't written them, and that was enough. I am sure, Nobody believes he did but these wicked editors, and who cares for tieir opinion I would like to know.
The Journal camo out and said Mr. Howe had written the communication to them about the opera and apologised tor giving his name to the Express editors, who hate because he is a preacher.
Mr. Havens, the new editor-in-chief —You have heard he suceeeded Colonel Hudson, who left on account of his health, havent you? But of course you have, because it all happened before you left-
8rOf8'courso
TT
How foolish I am. Well, Mr. Havens apologized very handsomely for the blunder of his local, in giving bis name, unthoughtedly and said some very pretty things about Mr. Howe. 1 am going to take his paper after this. You know he joined our church last winter, and he seems to be a very pi ouns, nice young man, aud never says anything wicked in his paper. It I had a vote I would cast it for him for Con-
the Express slurred hi®
in replving to his article, and there the matter dropped. I don't think the whole thing hurt Mr. Howe one bit. At the prayer meeting Wednesday night I talked to ever so many of the ladies and every one thought the Express was horrid. They didn't believe a word of what it said, and we are going to get up a donation party and show these people that they can't abuse our minister. There, now, you know as much about it as ldo, and I hope it will make you as angry as it did me.
Dear Fannie I wish you could see the love of a dress I am having made. Maybe it will be done by next&unday, and if it is lam going to wear it to church. I know that stuck-up Mattie Marsh will fairly cry her eyes out when she sees me walk up the ai3le. I guess I will have Fred take me, only it he does I will have to invite him home to dinner, and I don't want to sit up in my new clothes all the afternoon to talk to him.
Sarah Green's baby cut two teeth this week, and can pretty nearly talk. Now I nave told you all the news and you must write a good long letter to Your loving,
LAURA.
P. S.—There was a bop at the Terre Haute House the other night, but I wanted to go to prayer meeting and so didn't attend it.

»A QUESTI0X OF DECENCY.
IT IS DISCUSSED IN A COUPLE OF CARDS',
From Rev. E. F. Howfi Westfall.
Mr. Howe has done considerable editorial work upon the Mail—writing usually one leading article each week, sometimes more, and occasionly in my absence taking entire charge of the editorial work. He ceased writing for this paper about one year ago. For his services he was paid by the column, as is usual when employing outside editorial assistance.
At intetvals he has written fpr the Town Talk department. For this work he was paid as for the other. He did not originate the department—his connection with it was not once thought of when this feature of the Mail was determined on—he wrote, as before stated, at intervals, and he ceased entirely writing for this department before he was forced by other duties and failing health to quit work on the editorial columns. It will thus be seen that he was not an irresponsible correspondent, but in the employ of this paper. Perhaps in a majority of cases the subjects were given him on which to write—and in the strict line of journalistic duty, be wrote them. Some of the spiciest articles have come from his pen. He has never written anything "malicious" or "vicious," as chained and usually there was an instructive lesson running through, a good moral attached, or a bold attack on some wrong doing. Some of the articles which have caustbo greatest commotion in this community were not written by him and he saw them for the first time in the columns of the Mail.
S' much in regard to his connection with The Mail, and in answer to the charge of th« Express that:
Itev. 12. Fnank Howe wss the wri:-
wbitb be gratified his prejadices, animosities and spites to his heart's content."
Now in regard to his charge of falsehood. Says the Express: "Repeatedly to members of his own congregation and to other citizens he solemnly denied the authorship of those articles, thus adding falsehood to his other sins."
Solely that the interest of this department might be enhanced, it was my desire as publisher of The Mall, that the fraternity of the articles be
kept secret—and it has beeh well kept
And
sions. These Town Talk articles have appeared in rvery issue of The Mail,Bin*r» its first issue under its present pioprictorsbip. March 2, 1872—neaily lour years. Of course, absence from the city sickness and other causes would prevent anvone person from writing continuously. As before stated, the idea of such a department did not originate with him—it was not for owe thought when this feature was determined on thai t'o would ever write a single artio'.*. In the past four years five persons have written for this column—the main part being done by three persons— when others failed there was always one writer to fill the breach--this breach has been filled by this one writer for lone periods of time—and THIS WRITER WAS NOT MR. HOWE.
Mr. Howe was, with other?, bound in honor, not toreval the authorship of the articles. This was not that the department might be made a medium for indulging iu secret attacks, but because as before stated, the mystery attached to their authorship added to the interest of that de partment. Mr. Howe's standing in the community forbids the thought that he would utter a falsehood. Pethaps fifty people in this community have had this question asked them. '•Are you Town Talk?" Mr, H. has had it propounded, and when he was not writing for it, conscientiously say "No." At times when lie could not truthfully utter this little monosyllable, he doubtless has envaded* the Question, as he bad a right to do'when the questioner was prompted only by mere curiosity. For instance, at one time, and that for quite a period of time, Mr. Howe did editorial work on the Express-he did it for pay, the same as upon the Mail, If asked if he was the editor of that paper when he was not writing for it, he uld of course have said he was not and if he wat, doing editorial work, and the publisher of the paper desired that it should not be known that he was doing it ho would be perfectly justifiable in evading any idle question.
Tha the animous of the Express in its attack Mr Howe may be understood, it is proper to say that the illwill of the editor of that paper originatedfiom editorial articies written by Mr. Howe for The Mail, criticisinsr the course of the Express. There vere written when he was regularly es~ sistid in the editorial work of this paper. Befose they were written Mr. Howe and myself consulted and determined tbaf tbey should appear and the articles as written had my hearty approval.
And now, one word In conclusion, in re sard to »11 the articles that have appeared In the Town Talk department. Holding that has ever been printed there can be construed as libelous or untrue. Some of the articles may have appealed ha rah at first reading, but time has demonstrated that they were productive of good. It would have been better, perhaps, if some of the articles had had not been pslnted. The same may be said ol urtlcl that have anneared in the editorial and local columns of this paper, and in fact of every paper in this city. Nevertheless, it will be the policy of the Mall In the future, as in the past to «peak plainly. In woids that can not be misunderstood, id condemnation of that which Is wrong and In upholding that which is right. And If In speaklnt of wrong doing, any scandal appears or any mS?is uttired, whether It be the

From To-day's Mail p. E. WESTFALL'S CARD.
The outrageous attack upon Rev, E. F. Howe in last Sunday mornings Express makes it necessary to partially lift the veil of mystery which has been thrown over the the Town Talk department of the Mail, and that Mr. Howe's connection with this paper be candidly and honestly stated.
Talk, the edltoral or other department,! hoid myself as publisher of the mall, responsible. Very
A CARD KK05I REV. E. F. HOWE. From the prominent position which O. J. Smith has occupied in this city, as a journalist for eight or more vears, and from the character of his papers, he fe very thoroughly known and well understood, and has his reputation, whether good or bad, fully established. My own public life iu this city for ten years, has also given me the reputation which I have, whether good or bad. No one who believes me a liar upon the assertion of O. J. Smith will believe me truthful upon my own assertion, Yet I deem it proper to say, once for all, that I never denied the authorship of any article which ever I wrote whether in the T. T. column of the Mail,or in any column of that paper, or of any other paper. I never denied that I was T. T., of the Mail,when I was writing for that column, I never asked O. J. Smith, or anybody else, not to "expose" me, or felt or expressed any gratitude to him, or anybody else, for not "exposing" me. At one time, when O. J. Smith became very angry with me for writing editorial articles in The Mail exercising his peculiar notions and teachings, and his treatment of the churches and religious people, and for defending The Mail against attacks made upon it by the Express in the absence of Mr. Westfall, he threatened to attack me in reference to the T. T. column, with which I had for some time bad no c6nnection whatever, and to accuse me publicly of falsehood, and I did, foolishly as I now see, ask him not to make his attack on Sunday, as I was then taking the Express and should necessarily see the attack, and it might disturb me iu the duties of the day. I think that at ihe same time 1 did ask him to defer action uutil Mr. Westfall should return. I do not reccollect that I either felt or expressed any gratitude for his compliance with these requests* In fact I doubt if it were pcssiole for the feeling of gratitude to exist in connection with the other., feeling which took ptissesfiioii of my which wi 1 not designate for 1 lx it learned that the man whose honor as
er torye.-irs oftl^' vicious and malicon* jsrentlemau, a lri^nd and a iurnulist I '•art ol "Town Ta.'k of Tbe Msi!, in I had nt ver doubled, and with
n:
whom I made no secret of the fact that Borne articles in the T. T. column came from say pen, and with whom, and in whose presence I had talked freely concerning articles of mine which had been, and were to be published in that column,and to whom at least one of these was read before it went into tho hrfhda of Mr. Westfall— was ready to use information so obtained in retaliation for editoiial criticisms upon sentiments expressed in hise ditonals, and upon tfctf course pursued by his paper, and to close the month of criticism thereafter. As Mr. Wcstfft'l, without any request from me,and ven
ibis fact of itself is worthy of no tica as an instance of- professional without my knowledge that he r.ucndhonor existing ainoug printers in e.i doing so, has preoircd a stareuierit regard to the authorship of artic'.ss and of the facts concermm ti authcr.-.iitp other secrets of iournalism. a dozen printers and persons v,ith the newspapers of this had more or less knowledge of the wbien he certainly wul be neiievt*u. sources ol these articles, and I have yu11 I will only add that whatever faults to learn of a printer divulging be may have pertained to the niftUer or same, ltisa question whether such mat-ner o! any artic.es which 1 b:ive honoris known in any of the pr.jfes- written c-ither ('or that or any other .olumti o* The Mail, ov to any ol mv communications iu different papers ol the city—and no doubt 'here hus been

Even the sharpest attacks wbicn I made in the editorial columns of The Mail, upon the sentiments aud course of the Express—and I never wrote any sbarper criticisms— were made when none but, the Iriendliess feeiinrsexisted between the it ora of that paper and myself. I attempted to counteract what I. with many others, thought to be the t-vil influences of its teachings, and t" defend tl.ose whom _1 ^new to be unjustly assailed and mis represented. And I did this in the language which I thought would best accomplish my purpose. Tim I have done in pnblic and in privatej with my pen and with my voice, and for it I am now reaping the reward, in more ways than one some plesant and some otherwise.
E. F. HOWE.
P. S As the cards whicb are prilled above relieve me from ail obli gations, so far as the interests of Mr. Westfall and the Mai! are concerned, to maintain secrecy as my connection with articles appearing in the T. T, column, I now say for myself that. any person who feels aggrieved by any allusion to himself or herself which has ever been made in the T. T. column of the Mail, and suspects me of being the author of the article in whieli the allusion occurred, upon application to Mr- Westfall, will be informed whether I did or not write the r.rttele to whie.W objection is made, and if I am found to have been the uuther, I hereby announce that I hold myself iu readiness to make a public apology or defence shall be published in the columns of The Mail as conspicuously as was the orgiuai article.
