. September 19.- The
alter Phelps takes the
;y of ffirluif to the |>»blic
private tetter addrcaaod
two weeks ago: ?
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.

Fort Leavenworth, September 11.
—A few days ago a tetter was received
here from a soldier in the Seventh cav
alry, now doing dutv in Dakota, stat
ing that tho late private Charles B.
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.
Fansliaw, trader, for value received
Tiiko. Roth,
Co. ‘G,’ Seventh cavalry
Approved: Geo. 1). Wallace, First
Lieutenant commanding company.
Edw. 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.

The news is dated at King Tak, the

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

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.

Wm. B. Barnum has fully informed
Governor Cleveland of the result of
his Western trip. His investigations
were directed chiefly toward Wisconsin
and Illinois, but incidentally took in
Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. He be
lieves (hat the Democrats have a good
chance to make a break in tbe Western
Republican States. ; The disaffection
among the Germans is so widespread
that in several places the whole Gor
man voting population, which has in
the past been with tho Republicans,
will cast its ballots for Cleveland. Mr.
Schurz’s speeches have been very
effective in helping tiie Democratic
canvass, and have aroused much en
thusiasm. The field for work in that
section is so large and so different
from that in the East that the Demo

advisability of establishing branch
headquarters in Chicago. From his
observations Mr. Barnum is quite con

Jno. R. Booker, ol Macon, Ga., writes:
“fn 1878 I was attacked by tlic most
ravenous sort of cancerous sores, that
ate great holes into my flesh and
spread rapidly over my body. I re
ceived the very best medical attention;
was dosed with mercury and pntatii
until I was so crippled with mercurial
rheumatism that I could scarcely hob
ble about; my throat and month were
badly ulcerated; my hair began to fall
out. 80 wrecked was my general
health that became a physical ruin and
my life was a burden. For a long
time I was lied ridden, and my suffer
ing was so intense that I prayed for
death as a relief. I exhausted the
whole catalogue of patent medicines,
in each case following tlic directions
religiously. Each in turn seemed to
aggravate the malady, and none of
them benefited me in any way. When
life was apparently hopeless l com
menced taking S. S. S. To this Specific
