Mow Jewell came tu write the letter, and how it was secured by Mart were also set forth, The impression that has been: at- tempted to be conveyed by the publication of Jewell’s letter, avcompanied by a so-called al tof Mart whieh, considering his ac- tious and his treachery in having. the letter photographed or copied by the hekto- etaph while in his enstody in violation of all honor, it would be hard to believe, is that there was a bargain as between Gen. Jewell and Judge Dittenhoefer by which, in consideration of the latter’s intercession in the matter, he was to be remembered by Gen. Garfield in an appointment as United States District Attorney of this district, This Judge Dittenhocfer distinctly and emphat- ically denies, insisting, as every one believes, that he simply acted us the counsel of the paper, and the personal friend of one of its editors, feeling that both the latter and the publishers were honest in their over- tures to deny the’ forged letter, and that lle saw the way clear to a speedy. settlement of the whole case by their public confession, that the letter was what they stated; that they had been led by a closer investigation to believe it a palpable forgery. ‘There is no question whatever that the publisher of Truth had proposed to CONCEDE THE FORGERY, and thus show to the world that what that paper had reiterated from day to day wasnot Dut a bundle of the must ouirageons false- hoods 6f any campaign of late years. The testimony in the ease had already proven the forgery, and Hart had no doubt come to arealizing sensé of the unenviable predica- ment in which he would be placed for per- mitting the continued announcement that the lie was trath. Gov. Jewell, in his supreme innocence, for he does seem possessed of more guilelesness than any man on the top of earth, took the enemy at their word, and instead of ponder- ing a moment to consider whether it might have the effect to draw him into a relation- ship that he might subsequently regret, at once tpok steps to 2 WIPE OUT THE FORGERY, and leave the canvass as it was before it was perpetrated. Me was actuated by his per- sonal regard for Gen. Garfield, and felt no doubt that he might be instrumental in set- tling the vexed quesiion in a manner. that should bring no discredit upon the Republican party; for as there was no effort to bargain for a concession, and, as he merely proposed to accept what the other side had proposed, the transaction was clean on his part, and would satisfy the public that what the Republican party had ed from the outset wasa fact. As soon, r, as the figureheads of the Demo- cratic National Committee saw that they had the power to make A FURTHER FALSE REPRESENTATION ‘by the publicataon of a letter that had-been temporarily consigned to their keeping, they violated all honor, revoked their pledge, and committed an act that must consign ewry one to everlasting obloquy. ‘Astor Judge Dittenhoefer, it seems he thought the best way to stop the circulation of the infamous forgery wus to have its ut- terers bluntly confess it. He believed it was a forgery, and believed his friends and clients. when they said they would so announce to the world. He showed he had faith in them and their promises when he allowed the let- ter tu go out of his possession. Its publica- tion proves that the people who have handled the forgery are very desperate. JUDGE DITTENHOEFER says that on last Monday he was summoned Dy telezraph tothe Truth office. He thore saw Mr. Hart, the chief proprietor, who stated that doubt ad risen in his mind about the truthfulness of the Chinese letter, and requested him (Dittenhoefer) to see Goy. Jewell in relation to it. Judge Ditten- hoefer thought they desired him to act as mediator in ease of trouble with the author- ities. -He saw Jewell, who desired: the Truth to make a retraction of the letter. put on calling on Wart again | the conduct of Mr Davenport toward him in the afternoon had determined him not to seek any mediation, He then went home, thinking the matter had been dropped, The next morning, however, he received another dispatch frum Hart, and on going to the office of Truth Hart requested him to again see Gov. Jewell, as_he wag convinced the letter was a forgety. He said the Truth wanted no money or any other consideration for. making this adwission, but thought Judge Dittenhoefer should receive whatever benefit was to come from it, and requested lim to impress this particulariy on Mr, Jewell. Oncommunicating this to Mr. Jewell he wrote the letter which has now been published. “No _ consideration was anentioned between us,—Jewell and myself,— nud no suggestion of the United States Dis- trict Atturieyship or any other office was at any time made by Mir. Hart to me,” said Mr. Diitenhoefer. 3 Judge Dittenhoefer showed the letter to Wart, who then requested permission to show jtto Post. He wave him the letter, and left the office. ‘In the iight of subsequent events, 1 confess there has been an error; but, considering our previous relations and the great friendship borne to me by Mr, Post the editor, it was natural enough that should do ‘so.. The thought that they were capable of acting treacherously towards me did not enter my mind. I had as little be- lief that they would do so as 1 have my son would) Then again, I knew Mr. Jewell’s Jetter EXPRESSED THE ACTUAL TRUTH. ‘That it stated on its face that the Truth had been deceived. Having found out that the Chinese letter was not genuine, they offered to frankly confess it” Judge Dittenhoefer afterwards heard that Truth intended to publist: a fac-simile of the Jewell letter, and sought both Mr. Hart and Mr. Post. 4dr. Hart told him he would not publish the letter_if Jewell would stop the prosecution of Pnilp. This {Dittenhoefer declined to accede to. Hence the publica- tion of the letter. DITTENHOEFER’S STATEMENT. To the Weatern Associated Press. New York, Oct. 30.—In explaining how the Jewell-Garfield letter came tobe pub- lished in Truth, Judgé Dittenhoefer said to areporter: “1 have been counsel for the xewspaper since its establishment, and am now counsel of record in the prosecution against it for publishing lottery advertise- iuents. My relations have been only profes- sional, excepting that for years, through my connection with Mr. Louis F. Post, as associate counsel. When he was practicing Jaw In this city, a warm friendship sprung up between him and me. Mr. Post had been Assistant District-Attorney under Mr, George Bliss. As soun as 1 read the Chinese letter I tried to the best of my ability te persuade Mr. Pust, managing editor of the newspaper, that it ; WaS A FORGERY. Last Wednesday, the 25th of October, about diam.

After I had . introduced them, and stated what-I bad done, -Mr. Hart said, ‘Yes, that is all right; but Lam'not satished with that letter of yours. I want to be satisfied that the,.Judge, after election, will be recognized. and I want a letter or tel- egram from Gen.

Just as they were going out I reentered, and” Mr. Hart, in, the. pres- ence. of Mr. Jewell, uiade the direct promise that, while he. cvuld not ihe next. morning make the complete somerset, he would see that an article ap- ‘peared substantially as follows: ‘Since the publication of Gen. Garfield’s explicit denial we have been led to investigate the matter further, and are still pursuing the investiga- tion with some doubt us to the authenticity of the letter. If we find-we have been de evived, we will boldly declare it, as we have heretofore maintained it was a genuine document.’ 3 ‘* Wednesday morning I visited Mr. Hart, who said, ‘I think we are going to hurt our- selves very much by doing, that; but never mind, as we have made the’ promise we will stick to it’? Imagine my surprise in Wednesday’s newspaper a reiteration of its libelous letter. Lnow have come to the conclusion that Mr. Hart was all the time . : PLAYING A DEEP GAME... Knowing that I had no reason te suspect: him or Mr. Post, and recognizing my position in the purty, he wasscheuing to procure throught me something that would look like a bribe as. a consideration for making a retraction, and would then publish it as evidence of the gen- uineness of the Chinese letter. . “During Wednesday rumors came to me that they Were going te publish fac-similes of Gov.

After, upbraiding them for what they had done, I said: * Are you re- ally going to publish.that Jewell letter? lt certainly will not hurt Gen. Garfield, Gov.

It’s ‘business.’ I retnrned, to: Mr. Post, and he promised me he would-use: all his power for my sake notto publish the’ letter, which he admitted would harm no. one but me,” % ae: A ROTTEN LINK. - DEVILISH DEVICESOF BARNUM’S COMMITTEE. Special Dispatch to The Chicugo Tribune. New York, Oct.. 30.—There was one piece of testimony elicited in the examination of Philp to-day that may lead to results. which ‘will clearly prove the despicable part the Barnum Committee have played in this dirty mess. Col. Bliss, who is conducting the prosecution, has evidently got hold of a clew that he hopes.to work to. advantage. When the defense got the proof- ‘reader of the paper that published the forged letter on the stand, Mr. Bliss on cross-exatination propounded to hima series of questions caleulated to’ bring out the information as to the identity.of the forged letter, but singularly enough: this Rentlemen had never seen it. This’ was certainly somewhat singular, for it would naturally be expected that the proof-reader, the one through whose hands manu- scripts are supposed to. pass. . for the verification of the printed matter, would be the one: above’ ‘all. othérs who could establish the fact that it, was the identical letter from which the publication was made. ‘his proof-reader . surprised everybody by the statement that he had NEVER SEEN THE COPY OR MANUSCRIPT OF THE LETTER, Then how could he have read the proof? Hé did not, technically, but he did read the letter from type without copy. ic owas. not set up. in the office, but came to the office already, set up in type; _that same type copy was printed Oct.20. He got the set type from the foreman, but did not know from whom he received it. The type was larger than that used in the offi ‘The import of this ‘statement’ is’ that the letter was prepared beyond all question under the auspices of Mr, Barnum’s .Com- inittee, who, afraid to send. the manuscript |- through the hands of employés of the office publishing it, fearing that the identity. of, its ehiogray! hy might be established there, had SET AT SOME JOB OFFICE where the importance of the matter-wonld not be surmisod, and then sent the type tothe publication oflice. It is strongly hinted that this was done by Mr. Barnum’s Comuprittee, and that that person may yet be bronght into the case in a manner that will establish, if it it were possible, more conclusively than ever his utter lack of political honesty aud per- sonal integrity. . “ In the cross-questioning of the witnesses for the defense this evening, the total unrelia- bility of one of the experts in the employ of that side was shown by the fact that he had originally expressed the belief that the letter was a forgery, but subsequently, under the pressure of a $25 fee, had changed his opin- ion, and since stuck to the genuineness of the document, 7 H THE INQUIRY.

Consequently he en- joyed the fullest confidence of Chajrman Jewell and his associate members of that Committee. .On Sunday-last Judge Ditten- hoefer came to Mr. Jewell. and said that he avas, and had been since the organization of the Truth N ewspaper Company, its attorney, | and as such attorney he wished to arrange for ari interview between Gov. Jewell and: ‘Hart; that Tart and his associates, while professing to the public to believe that the ‘Chinese’ letter was genuine, were, in fact, convinced in thelr own minds that it wasa forgery, and had proposed to make a retrac- tion of the charges already published. Gov.

Mr. Hart endeavored to secure a promise from Gov. Jowell; cecompanied by ‘a letter from him to Gen. Garfield, that a retractiou by Tria would secnre an adandonment of the proceedings against Philp, the forger of the * Morey” letter. This Gov. Jewell flatly refused to give, but, on the contrary, in- sisted that the forger should be punished to the fullextentof the law. Mr. Hart then sald that he would publish.a retraction on condition that Judge Dittenhoefer should have the benefit of securing thé same, if. dny benefit:was to be derived by any one by such aretraction:' To this‘ Gov. Jewell replied that he had no objections, and at the earnest request of Dittenhoefer and Hart he wrote to Gen: Garfield the’ extrémély cautious letter published in Truth this morning, and gave it to Ditténhoefer.

Garfield addressed them as fol- Ws,.28 reported for the Cleveland Leader: GENTLEMEN: Iam “glad: to meet you to- -, .Lremember with: pleasure the long “Hine of events that have united us during the [Bighteen years we have Known ‘each other: While the last gentleman was speaking on alf of.his associate ‘irott-workers ‘of the ‘ahoning: Valley, it brought ‘to my mind, something which I read many years ago in's ery interesting old book. The writer was erating the points of contrast between in and the lower animais, and among then: wayas this: “ Man,” he safd;: “tis the only ani- mal that makes tools for his own use,” In following: ont. that. thought: 1 think we 7 sinay faitly say that the tools which ;a people use are. probably as good - index of their ..{ntelligence arid ivilization as any that cau be found. We dig into the mounds of forgotten tribes and nations, and find their tools and implements - of stone, later of copper, then of bronze, of fron, and of steel. If we had all the speci- men tools of all the tribes and nations of the earth arranged in order before us, we could probably determine, with great accuracy, the grade of civilization of each generation. dy not say that it is the whole business of civilization to inake tools, but.the tools ofa: people are the indexes of the civilization of those who make and use them.’ ‘Ihe men’ who stand bi fore inc are largely engaged in making tools for America, or in manufactur- ing the materials out of which these tools are made. Your daily work is, therefore, close- y allied to the civilization vf your country. ‘twas the puryose of the founders of our Governinerit so to develoy “and educate our people that they should be able to make their implements of peace and war, so that, if, we were ut war with the rest of the world. we could by our skill clotazand equip ourselves, and make all the tools and machitiéry for our own usé without drawing on other nations for asingle hammer stroke. Now, that is to me thé significance of the business that you are engaged in, 1 have never thought itwas a sulticient reason for asking the Leg! lature of the Nation to make, laws merely ,to. let. any one elass of citi- zens make more. motiey; bnt when thé industry which ‘any of our citizens are engaged in isone that the whole Nation needs for its defense and for the growtli and devel- opment of its people, then every nan so em- ployed is doing a great National, patriotic work which the Government should protect and defend for the good of all, On that jurge National ground every blow you strike is a blow in defense of the independence of, your, country. and thé well-being of all its people, Gentlemen, Iam glad to. see this company of iron-workers, iny old constituents and friends, I welcomecyou here, and. I appre- ciate your coming all the more because you lave come so far and in’ such an inclement season. You are very.welcome, and I shall be glad to greet each one of you.

To know that you come with songs, that you come with hearts full of emotion and minds full of ideas, and prin- ciples, and purposes, is as much as. any company of people anywherte could well say. Lrecollect that-some writer’said long ago, “Tet me make the songs of a peo- ple, ‘and seare =o not .who makes heir; laws.” You are not, perhaps,“ mak- ing the songs ‘of the people;, bat: you are singing the songs of a very energetic, in- telligent, and determined people, and the songs you sing are sweeping through .the hearts, and lives, and purposes of thousands of people all over this broad land.

Cavanagh -re- marked: “The course being pursued by many Republican nianufacturers to Goerce their employés into voting the Republican ticket cannot, L think, be. too strongly depre- cated.” : : ¢ “T have yet to learn,” said Gen. Hancock, “of any Democratic, Independent, or other* manufacturer desirous of. changing the pres- ent Administration of thé Government who has pursued that course.

Mach of ‘the- prosperity now en- joyed by the North is due to the purchases of the Southern merchants, who last season bought goods to.an extent unparalleled since the War. This was due to the great cotton- crop of the South, and to the desire of the Southern people to -claim affiliation with the North, and purchasé its ~ manufactured products, instead of sending to forelgn coun- tries for them, thereby creating, business for foreign lines of steamships.
