Now that the efforts making to John J. Pattersonl to justice lave forced him again into notoriety, it may be of interest to our readers to refresh their memories with the detail; of his early life in Pennsyl vania. His career in that State was a befitting prefaco to the course he has run in South Carolina. The following is a synopsis of the biog~ raphy of Juniata's great statesman, as first given to the wvorld by the Now York Sun of November 5, 1873. Th facts are all matters of public record, and cannot thereforo be de nied by the cheeky criminal JOHN J. PATTERSON was born i. Juniata county, P1enn sylvania, his father being a well-to. do and respected citizen of that place. The subject of the present sketch entered the school of politics in 185:3, by moving from Juniata to Har risburg, where ho purchased of Thco. Penn and Philo Ledgwick the PennsyrunYia Teleap-(()h. There was nothing about him at that time to make it possible to conceive of any political earthquake mighty enough to upheave him into the seat of John C. Calhoun. He had al., ready set out on the road which formerly led to the penitentiary; and as a christian statesman had not then been invented as employ ment for the superfluous rogues of the land. John's chance of ending his days in making shoes or plaiting chair bottoms for the State were as good as those of any young m1an of his age. TnE FIST FRAUD committed by Patterson after emurging from obscurity was in mswindling Mr. Fenn out of the pur. chase money for the Tclegraph. Ho paid one-third cash, and gave his notes for the balance tt stated pe riods. lie represented that he owned ,8,000 in his own right, be sides his expectations from his fath.. er. This subsequently proved to be a lie out of the whole dloth. A few months after this, and be fore his notes became due, Pattor s0n sold the Tc/rph to Messrs. Cilydo & Miller, for an advanco of three thousand dollars, and left the citv. Fenn came to Harrisburg at, the maturity of the notes, but did not find his~ man. A diligent search brought Patterson to light, but ho said lie had no0 money, andl must wait till Clyde & Miller's notes became due, when Fenn should re. ceive every cenit due. He refused to hiypothcalto Clyde & Miller's nmotes as security, and on Pen's threatening to attach thue money in their hands, Patterson p)ut up a whimpering plea that he was engaged to marry a. high-toned y'ounmg lady. "If," said ho "you proceed against mec ini this waLy, my3 lproslpects will beC blasted. Trust to my honor, and I solemnly dleclare I will pay y'ou every cent I owe you." Penn replied. "It shall be as you say, Mr. Patterson, a debt of honor, and I will trust you." A LAs FoiR THiEOPHIILUs I Patterson immediately disposed of his notes to one John H. Berry hill, and when Mr. Penn next asked him to redeem his p)ledge, lie laugh cd in his face, and told him coolly, to get the money the best way ho' (ould. Fenn, exasp)erated, woent to court and obtained judgment in August, 1858, against Patterson for $3,904.22, with $918.17 of interest. Buit Patterson had1 no visible means of support, and the judgment could not be enforced. Fenn p)atiently bidod his time t,ill the old man P'at terson died. But before ho could step in, Patterson had confessed judgment to his wife, on the death of his father, for $10,000, and a judgment for that amount was entered in the Juniata court in favor of Lucretla Patterson, his wife. n ONEST JOHN AS A nANEER. ui the moan time Patterson had g$ne to Pnihadelphia where ho be (an bankin g operations in copart% nershin with ono Samuel Ala.vmakar SV ! . I I/o , ilf Ho stayed here just long enough to flecco his partner and soveral credi tors out of goodly sums 'of mon1y~ A POL.ITICAL i4NII. About this time, Simon Cameron the Winnebago ebief, in whom ib is' diflictit to say whether ability or wickedliess is predomliinant, had arisen from i raftsmnan and printer to a vapitilist and statesinman. lia peculiar politics demanded. peculiar tools; and Simon was not long ii li - covering the transedi(lant al biity of' Patteirson, as a polifical pimllp. Pat torson was entrusted with the task of manipulating the counties of Ju4 mata, Snyder and Northumnberlahd. In this humble oocupation, occasion ally swindling politically and finan cilly in a small way, Pattorson con tinued until the opening of the war displayed a fine field for a mah of his acquisitivo genius. Camerbn became Secretary of War, and Pat terson was 11mad0e paymaster in the army. By the timie the senato met, it was proven that Honest John had mistaken gover-nment funds for his. own, and that body refused utterly to confirm the appointment, upon direct evid'mco of flagrant over charges. He quit the army in dis-i grace. But another arena opened f or him. A CANDIDATE FoR CONOR ESS. Cameron had him nominated for Congress from the fourteenthI Penn sylvania district which at that time had a Republican majority of 2,500 votes. But the avenging Nomesis was on his track. Fenn had waited as one without hope for that balance duo from Patterson, for eight long, weary years. But it had never come. Honest John laughed all dune to scorn. So when Patterson began to stumip his district, Fenu concluded to stump it too. He had hundreds of handbills struck off, entitled "A plain Statement of Facts," in which the entire newspaper transaction was detailed in every particular. These he tacked upl) at every corner, distributed in every public place, ani in addition, he himself narrated his story to every farmor he met, sand who had known him througli his former connection with his popor. The handbill was . y containing such expressions as f'he following ; "He had his propdy and refused to pay me from an in nate dishonesty and a prodotormin ation to d:fraud mc." "Can he have the prosumiption, ave, the in sulting impudeneo to ask a man to vote for hini. Or even to look an. honest man in theface ?" "Spurn him from your presence and teach other knavev who aim to mako party politics subservient to their ambi<. t'.on and their avarice, that '/lonestt is the >est policy.' and combine 'to 1(ash the rascal naked through the 'world I'" "Will the IR(,pul)ican party of thil district sanction aind uphold the dishonesty of this man, Patterson, to represent the district with this brand of dishonesty stamped upon him ? Has it lost that higli niral integrity that has ever charaetorized. it'? Will it put such a man in a, p)osition to plunder ,the nation, or, sell his party whenever he can do 80 for his own benefit'? 'What else can be0 exp)ected of a knave who asphree to such a position 1" This appeal, with Fenn's personal. canvass and the genieral odiumA inib which Patterson had eveni then fallen at home, led to his d4o.strous. defeat ; for the Republican party hag . not then become debauched,' as it now is.' Patterson was led' to consider' Fenn a pretty troublesome customer to have hanging around his hieels ; and, some time after made peaceoivith him by satisfying his judgments.. The widlow of Fenn's partner fared not so well, for Patterson paid that in insurance stock which subse quently PRovED) TO niE liOGUs, and utterly worthless. In 1873,. Mr's. Ledgwick wvrote saying that Patterson had 'hover paid the debt. She adds "Mr'. PsttersonV'dW1uct was rascally, as fou -probably. know. I have never had any communication with him since Mr. LodewickWs death. Never has ho written a wbrdf about redeeming the bogus stock" T1he Ledgwick hero refe rred to was the brother of General iohn Lod~ - wick, of the army of tho Potomac. ANOTHIE4 OHAPTERI OF orINE.
