He asserts that there is no excitement at Salt Lake City, as represented by the newspapers.

As the charge has not been made in a shape to enable me fo resort to the courts, my only re- course is to pronounce it false and malicious, and the person originating it as a liar and a scoundrel. I acted as the attorney for the In- dian soldiers named, transacted their business honestly and , und, instead of making ef- forts ‘to prevent this subject from taking an active form,’ as charged. I court investigation, and dety the malice of the scoundrel who hus occasioned the necessity of this card.” ‘The Secretary of the Interior desires it to be stated that he had nothing whatever to do with the publication of the charges against Mr. Wright. He says that a rigid investigation is now in progress, and when the report is made it will be given to the public. Until that time he prefers to express no opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Judge Wright. +22. ‘The fact was mentioned in this column a few days since that Alexander Delmar, ex-chief of the Statistical Bureau of the Treasury Depart- ment, was eyphering up the public debt of the city of Brooklyn, and the opinion was ex- pressed that debt and Delmar together would prove too heavy am affliction for the “ City of Churches” to bear. The Stan was right, as usual. Alexander, after confounding the Brook- lynites with his formidable columns of figures, sighed, like his namesake of old, for more worlds to conquer, but unfortunately for him dropped statisties, amd “went for the school marms.”’ This was a bad move. He didn't stop to caleu- late the effect of his slanderous assaults, and the result is that Brooklyn is too hot to hold him. The story és briefly this: About three weeks ago a new paper was started in Brooklyn. 1ts pub- lisher is Protessor J. H. K. Willcox, also well known in this city, he having been Delmar’s lieutenant when the latter was chief of the bureau here. He also figured prominently in woman suffrage and labor reform meetings in this-city.

There was tremendous excitement about this publication, of oourse. The flame was agitated by an interview in the offiee of the mayor (Kalbficisch) on Wednesday, when the committee from the democratic gen- eral committee accused him of being the backer of the organ in which the scandalous article appeared—one of the interviewers going so far us to accuse him of being the direct canse of publication. In the meantime public indi, tion increased, and threats of vengeance were made.on the thors. The excitement reached euch a pitch that some of the members of the board of education deemed it advisable to take some action in regard to the matter. They met on Thursday, and prepared a circular, to be signed by the principals and teachers, appealing to the public to vindicate them against the villainous slander. At a subsequent meeting ot the board, a cem- munication from Mayor Kalbfleisch was read repudiating.om his part any responsibility for the published statement.

Dear Star-—I do not propose to throw any additional light upon the subject of the great fire which bas devastated this city, but after two days wandering among the ruins, I can scarcely think of any thing else. Before coming here, I had carefully examine the subject with the ald of charts, and fully be- lieved 1 had nothing more to learn; but [ had utterly failed to appreciate the extent of the calamity or the degree of suffering ithas caused.

One young man told me he was a clerk in a wholesale hardware store, containing a halt million dollars worth of The clerks all worked until driven off by the heat, and suc- ceeded in removing about seventy-five thousand dollars worth of goods to a park. A stock of teas was removed to the same place. The fire dragon soon annibilated what had been with so much labor removed. Another man told me be removed his trunk seven times, and utterly over- come, left it to its fate.
