Mr. Lee’s declaration that two-thirds of our Cougressmen are piuners and the other third are drunkards, is rather a bold statement to come from the mouth ofa reptuable Christian clergy- man, who desires the good opinion ot his fellow men respecting his character for truth ard veracity. Certainly Rev. Mr. Lee cannot mean what be so boldly asserts in respect to this matter. Perhaps he hus been misrepresented.

DR. J. M. TOWNSEND. Forest City Enterprise. This distinguished gentleman, the present incumbent if the U. S. Land Office. with whom we are per- sonally acquainted is a man of fiue literary ability, good moral charac ter, of almost world wide reputa~ tion, has to our mind lowered bim- self in the estimation of the think- ing men and women of the A. M. KE. Church, by accepting the above appointment from President Har- rison- Dr. Townsend at the time of his appointment was filling one of the’ most responsible positions within the gift of the church, (that of missionary secretary) of our work. The Dr. has been repeatedly elected to this important pusition, almost without a dissenting vote ;_ but to our regret, and to the disadvan- tage of the church generally be for no apparent cause tendered his res- ignation. Look at the present condition of our missionary work, consider the lamentable newspaper controversy, between Bisuop Payne and Dr. Derreik. All because Dr. Townsend laid down the work of the church, the work of Obrist, the work of saving Souls to accept an appointment from President Harri- son on account of its lucrative na- ture. Our ministers do themselves and the work a grert injury by thus acting. Already the opinion is rife that ministers are preaching more for money thau for souls.

His SvraTEMENT IN CouRT. Wasutxeron, D. C., Oct, 24. 89 Eprtor of THE BEs: Permit me to have space your widely circulated jourual, for ihe pucpose of setting myself right before the public and my friends. Last week Mr. U. CU. Stewart call- ed at my house in west Washing ton anu accused me of being iu comp.ny with his wife at Irving Park, and threateved when he caught me he wouid kill me. I swore OUt a warrant for the man and the ease was called iu the Po- lice Court. Just befure’ toe case was called, however, [ eaw him coming in court, and I went to him and asked him woat about the charge he bad made against me, concerning bis wife. He ivoked at me with surprise and said; “you? I don’t know you, its Wili Farguson [ was looking for ma in L informed him I was Will Fur- guson; he said, “Will it is all a mistake,” you are not the one I am looking tor, aud he asked me to step outside, and when we wenl out, his lawyer and officer Hawkins of the 7th Precinct, my father and officer Fisher, slso of the 7th Preei.ct eame out, snd in their presence be mate tne tollow- ing st .tement: “I don’t know you, never saw you before, and you are not the man | am looking tor. The man 1 am looking for is a slender, brigbt man. ile then asked me to have the ease withdrawn, and I told him tbat he had tojured my character. and I propose to have my friends in Court to hear the te— timony. This closed the confer- ence, after which the case was call-d, and Judge Miller asked tor my statement. I simply said that the man charged me with being in compa- uy with his wife at Irving Park; that L didu’t know him or his wife; that I had uever seen either to kuov them. 1 also made the charge of threatr, although I was not the man tur whom ae was looking, bui he called at my house and tiureatened me without seeing me, and right bere, let me say in contradiction to the “Star,” I was not vt home Tuesday night wheu Stewart called, and conse quently [ did vot see him. When the Court called him to make his defence, be upon oath said; “I don’t know thisman, and the man I was looking tor I know well, he is aslender bright man,” It was clear to his Honor, Judge Miller, although he denied that I was the man, that he had disturb ed the peave and quiet of Geurge- town, und had to give bond. In conclusion [ want to say that thisis the fist charge that has ever been made against me by anybody in such a manner prior to my marriage, and subsequently thereto I have endeavored to live above suspicion. I am not one to interfere with§s man and his wife, or would | be guiliy of an immor. al act. [Lama mairied man and well satisfied, with the lady I pledged betore the aitar to sup- port and live a life of peace anu happiness with. This case has a moral, avd it is that; mauy an innocent man is of- ten eompeiled to bear the wrongs of anotier, and befor: you jadge a man guilty of any charge i! is well to hear the evidence. Be- lieving that [ have clearly stated my case, and the evidence having been heard in the Court to the satisfaction of the public and my friends, 1 remain. — Very Respectfully, Wi. H. Furguson. BRUCE GRIT Vs. H.C. SMITH. The “Cleveland Gazette” in a re- cent number undertakes to be real fanny at wy expense, in its excor- ation of Messers. Lynch and Davis on the subject of Negro journalism and journalisst. I cannot, toc the life of me, understand why I should be dragged into this senseless contro- versy over a question which pro- perly belongs to the twenty first century. In all kindness and with malice to nobody in particular I hope I may be pardoned when 1 say to the braiuy editor of the “Gazette” that his facts relative to Mr. Fortuie’s alleged remarks touching my persvnal appearance are not even remotely connected with the truth. I break the news to him thus gently because I do not wish to go on record for char- acterizing the ambidexterous and many sided base-ball editor of the “Gazette” as a base liar. Mr. For- tune, I am sure, will plead not guils ty to the charge of calling me a ‘seedy individual;” there is no public record of the fact extant and if Mr. Fortune privately enter- tained the thought, he was too mach of a gentleman to give it utterance. Bat sappose it were true, would that be a crime? It some times happens that a fine coat often coy- ers great ignorance but never con~ ceal it, that the Diainest men are often the poorest dressed and poor- est paid. It is the pride of our greatest men to refer to their hum- ble origin, and meagre opportani- ties for acqairing education and fame, 4ud uuless the historians are great liars some of the ablest jarists, scholars, business men, | general and proffessional nen this couatry has ever pro laced were not only seedy, but impecanieus.

Coonmer’s Harness Attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the Market. It is so ranged that any one can secure it to any harnes three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It canbe taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitching and unhitching as a horse can_be at- tached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extri- cated in less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is removable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists in the con- structions of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has heretofore been nec- cessary in order touse devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines being connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unman- ageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the plate 16 aside and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slight- est trouble. used every day.
