We have given space to Mr. Gassaway’s ter, and now present a communication ing a story which was current on the streets yesterday ; WASHINGTON, January 25, 1874. To the Editor of the Washington Chronicle The publication of the Huntington tetters | has occasioned a good deal of comment, and, | Of course, the inquiry is: How did they bee come public?” TBe answer is, of course, through the aid of Frank Gassaway,a young | mar whom Wuntington made his executor. | Yesterday this assertion was boldly made with- | out contradiction. The way it was done is tha: “Gassaway had an arrangement with | two correspondents to sell these documents.’ | Phe correspondents, although they wanted the | letters, did not care to buy, so, determined to accomplish their purpose, they precured the | | services of a well-known phonographer, whom | they secretea im a convenient place, adjacent | to the room in which they had arranged to meet | Gassaway. That worthy having appeared, in | | accordance with his appointment, handed out the letters. Correspondent No. 1 opened them, | | read them aloud, (the phonographer mean- | while jotting down their contents,) then | banded them to correspondent No. 2, who, in | | turn, read them over, in order that the con- | led scribe might compare them and have them perfect copies. This done they were | handed back to saway, with the remark | that they were ‘‘hardly of sufficient conse- quence to publish.” Gassaway slunk out of the office, and ieft the two newspaper men chuckling over the success of their plan. | —[ Chronicle.

The alarm was at once sounded, and several parties of colored men | started in pursuit of the boy, one of which came | up with him at Gainesville, and brought him back to Manassas, arriving there before day- | break Saturday morning. There the colored | | citizens heid @ court-martial, and as the clothes | | were found on the youth and the money in bis pocket, the court voted him forty lashes on his | bare hack.
