Au<ujsta, Mk., September 8, 1884. Hy Dear Mr. Phelps: I have your &vorof the 4th advisiujj: me that the oontlonoas iuvcntiou and wide circu- latiou of evil rei>orts render it advisa ble (in your judgment) not to wait the alow process oi law, but to speak di rectly to tho {public in my own vindi- eation. In tnis opinion many others on whose judgment 1 rely concur. I shrink instinctively from the sugges tion, though I feel sure I could strengthen the confidence of all who leci iriondly to mo by bringing to view tho siifple thread 'of truth which is concealed in this endless tissue of falsehood. You can imagine how in expressibly painful It is to discuss one’s domestic affairs in the press, although I think with you that under tho circumstances I could count upon the generosity of the public to justify the statement which otherwise might seem objectionable. I can in any event safely commit the tacts to you for personal communication to those friends who have taken so delicate and so considerate an interest in my affairs. Tiie leisure hours of to-day, when our campaign is ended and wo wait only for the election, give me the opportunity for this prompt reply, and tho following essential details: At Georgetown, Kentucky, in the spring of 1848, when I was but eigh teen years of age, I first met tho lady who for more than thirty-four years has been my wife. Our acqiminiance resulted at the cud of six months in an engagement, which, without pros pect of speedy marriage, we naturally sougty to keep to ourselves. Two years later, in the spring of 1H. r >o, when I was maturing plans to leave my profession in Kentucky, and estab llsh myself elsewhere, 1 was suddenly summoned to Pennsylvania b^ ’ihe death of my father. It being very doubtful if I could return to Ken tucky, I was threatened with an in definite separation from her who jms sessed my entire devotion. My one wish was to seenro her to myself by an indissoluble tic, against everv pos. sible contingencv In life, and on the 18th of June, 18.W, Just prior to my departure from Kentucky, we were, in tho presence of chosen and trusted friends, united by what I know was in my native 8tate of Pennsylvania a per lectlv legal form of marriage. On reaching iiomo I found that my family, and especially my bereaved mother, strongly discountenanced my business plans as involving too long a separa tion from home and kindred. I com plied with her wish that I should re sume, at least for a time, my oc cupation in Kentucky, whither returned in the latter part of Au gust. During tho ensuing winter, induced by misgivings under now responsibilities, misgivings which wore increased by legal consulta 4 tions, I became alarmed lest a doubt might be thrown upon tho validity of our marriage by reason of iion-com- plianco with tho law of the State where It had occurred, for I had learned that tho laws of Kentucky made a license certified by the clerk of. tho county court an indispensable miuisito of Jegal marriage. After much delibera tion and with an anxious desire to guard in tho most effectual manner against any possible embarrassment resulting from our position, for which I alone was responsible, we decided that tho simplest and at the same time the surest way was to repair to Penn sylvania nnd have another marriage service performed. This was done in tho presence of witnesses in the citv of Pitteburg in the month of March, 1851, but was not otherwise made public for obvious reasons. It was solemniz ed only to secure an indisputable validity, the first marriage being by m3’wife and myself always held as •acred. At the mature age of 51 I do not defend the wisdom or prudence of the secret marriage suggested by the ardor and inexperience of youth, but its honor and its purity wegpf inviolate as I believe In the sight of God, and cannot be made to appear otherwise by the wicked devices of men. * It brought to me companionships which have been my chief happiness from boyhood’s years to this year, and have crowned mo with whatever success I have attained in life. My eldest child, a son, was born in his grandmother's house on tho 18th day of June, 1851, in tho city of Augusta, Mo , and died in her arms three years later. His osliw rejioee in the cemetery of his native city beneath the stone which recorded his naino ami the limits of his innocent life. That stone, which hud stood for almost an entire genera tion, has been recently defaced by brntal and sacrilegious hands. As a candidate for the Presidency I knew that I should cncnmitci' many forms of calumny and personal defamation, but l confess that I did no{ expect to be called upon to defend the name of my beloved and honored wife, who is ii mother and grandmother, nor did I expect that the grave of my little child would be cruelly desecrated. Against such gross forms of wrong the law gives 110 adequate redress, and 1 know that in the end my most effective ap peal against tho iins|ieakable outrages which I resist must be to the noble manhood nnd noble womanhood of America. Your friend, very sincerely, James G. Blaike. * 1 t*-. ' A - «*. f * ' V . • '4*t- < , ' ‘ i Vf&i % "*'! '■ Hunting for Campnlffa Slander. Washington, September 19.—’i he fir !

Henry, of tlic Grcelv expedition* shot for stealing rations from his comrades, was a member from 1876 tci 4878 of troon G, Seventh cavalry now on duty at this post, under tho uamo of Charles H. Buck, which is said to be his proper itamc. Ho was discharged from tiie service in 1878 for forging tho name of a private in his company, and that of Lieutenant Wallace and Sergeant Gar- lick to a sutler’s check, on which ho at tempted to obtain $10. Lieutenant Wallace was seen to-day by your correspondent ami asked what he knew of the rase, and if the facts as reported were true. Ho. replied that he had forgotten tho circumstances until this came to his notice, hut that Buck is the identical man, and gave him a great deal of trouble prior .to his dismissal from the service. Sergeant Gariick was next found and asked if he know this man Buck. He said that he did well, but did not know that ho was the man when reports of his being shot first reached here; but on learning his proper name, he was certain it was the same man, and was decided in saying ho deserved his fate. It seems that he joined the Seventh cavalry in 1879 under his proper name, Charles II. Buck. In the fall of 1877 the regiment camp ed at Fort Buford for a ^jvliile, after its return from the Nez Force cam paign, during which time Buck em ployed his spare time in forging checks for a considerable amount on the post traders. For some unaccountable Vcason he was not punished for this offence. Being at Buford, ho again engaged in the same business while the Seventh cavalry was camped at Camn Sturgis, where Fort Meade now stands, during tha summer of 1878. He operated tins time on field traders Fansnaw and Roberts, nnd was again detected, tried by court martial, con victed and sentenced to be dishonora bly discharged from the service, with a forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and to be confincaat hard labor, under charge of a guard, for one year. With this information at hand, a tile of general court martini orders of the department of Dakota for the year 1878 was obtained, and in looking over the index it was found that Buck's trial onTl sentence was published in conrt martial orders No. 77. A corrected copy was made by your correspondent Kir the Times readers, and is appended hero unto: “Private Charles H. Buck, company “G,” Seventh cavalry. Charge—“Con duct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline.” Spcciflca tions—“In that private Charles H. Buck, company, ‘G.’ Seventh cavalry, an enlisted man in tho military service of the United States, did purchase and receive from one W. S. Fansliaw, (a citizen trading in camp) two (2) pair of drawers, and did with the de sign to defraud said.Fansliaw, give in payment therefor, an order, in words and figures, substantially ns follows, viz., $10.00. In the Field, August 13 1878. I, Thoe. Roth, hereby authorize the commanding officer of my company to retain from my first pay, the sum of ten dollars, and pay the same to W. S.

Gaki.ick, first sergeant.” Which order was false, fraudulent fictitious in that (lie signatures of First Lieut. George 1). Wallace, Seventh cavalry, and First Sergeant F.dward Gariick, affixed thereto, were forged, and not genuine, which fact was known to the said Private Charles II. Buck, company “G,” Seventh cavalry, at the time of passing the order to said Fansliaw. This at Camp J. G. Sturgis, on or about tho 13th of August, 1878. Plea “Guilty,” Finding "Guilty.” And the court docs therefore sen tence him. Private Charles II. Buck, Company ft, Seventh cavalry, “to for feit all pay and allowances now duo, or to become due, except the just duos of the laundress, to bo dishonorably discharged the service of the U. S.. and thereafter to be confined at hard labor in such military prison as the proper authority may direct, for four (4) years.” The sentence was rcir.itted by Colo nel Gibbon, at the time in command of (lie department, to one year. Ho served his sentence partly at Camp Sturgis and Fort Meade, Da kota. Afterward he enlisted under the assumed name of Chas. Buck Henry in Troop E, Fifth cavalry, at Fort Sidney, Neb., from which lie was detailed for tho Arctic expedition, where his conduct seemed to be in keeping with his former acts. OUR SOUTHERN SHOWING. tVhat Extensive Reports Sny of tho Com mercial, Industrial and Agricultural Out look. Baltimore, September 18.—The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record will publish to-morrow special reports from alj part* of the South as to the prospect for the fall and winter busi ness, showing that the outlook Is very favorable for active trade. The chi ton crop will he less than was expect ed a month ago owing to the drought, but it is largely counterbalanced by larger crops of corn, wheat and fruits than for some years. Owing to the enlarged production of food stuffs the South will not have to purchase so largely of wheat, corn and provisions from the West as heretofore. The dif ference in this, as compared with last year, is fully $50,000,000. The late stringency in the money market, ac cording to many of these rei>orls, pre vented planters from borrowing as freely as usual in the spring and forced them to close economy, so that the cotton-crop has been raised at a much lower cost than in other years, and the planters are less in debt than at the corresponding time last year. In the manufacturing and mining enterprises rapid progress is being made. A CandidaU'i Adventure. Charlotte, N. C.» September 19.— Gen. Alfred M. Seales, the Democratic candidate for Governor, has been can- vassiifg Western North Carolina.

San Francisco, September 16.—The steamer San Pablo arrived hero last evening, bringing advices from Hong Kong to the 14th ult., and from Yoko hama to tho 30th nit. lutorniatioii hail reached Canton of tho frightful inun dation in tho province of Kiangsec. The news is dated at King Tak, the chief centre of a pottery niAiiuincture, and one of the four great markets of the empire. The flood lasted four days and tiie entire country was submerged to the depth of sixty feet, and whole towns were swept away. It is believ ed fully 70,000 persons perished. It was feared that a pestilence would follow. The cholera had broken out at Amoy, hut I ho number of deaths is not given. It had hcen declared to be an uninfected port. It has been stated that the price paid for the fleet oft wen t.y- six vessels sold as announced by tlic China Merchant’s Navigation Com pany, to the American Compain, wns 6,200,000 taels, equal to $6,500,000, which is below their original cost. TAMMANY’S ACTION HONKST. Drinorrntii Generally SatMfled Hint (he Sup port of Cleveland la In Good Faith. New York, September 19.—The action of Tammany is much talked of by the politicians. Tho Republicans professed to believe that Tammany would not support Cleveland in good faith, but. Democrats of every strijie expressed the opinion that Tammayy would faithfully ratify at the polls what they resolved to do last Friday night. Mr. B. B.Smalley of the Dem ocratic National Committee said: “Before the nominations were made at Chicago Mr. John Kelly, Mr. Coch ran and General Spinola assured me that Tammany would support the nominee, whoever he might be, ami I have never doubted that it Would. So far as I have known, whenever Mr. Kelly has made a fight he has made an open one and whenever his support has been given it has been hearty and earnest. It will, 1 believe, be so now. Mr. Grady will find a very great difference between his influence over men within the party and his ability to take men out bf it.” All the Tammany District leaders said tliat Tammany would support tho ticket. Daniel Manning, Cliairnian of tho Democratic State Committee, saysthat the action of Tammany settles the Presidential election in favor of Cleve land beyond all question. This is the opinion of a great many Democrats. THE three emperors.
