CHANGE OF SCHEDULE.
' w . Jaxuart 1, 1S79.
The following Schedule is in effect at this
i*U4
plain away or evade in any other way
such part cf HampdegV interview as
he'pleases; but even with that diili
ctlty in my way I h )|»e I can make my
points clear.
1st. As to G“n. Gary’s claim, as rep
resented by the inlet viewer, that Gen.
Hampton by hia silence has admitted
the charge, I would say that General
Hampton pronounced hla charge to be
“utterly and absolutely false,” and
tiiat bis answer applies as well to Jbe
second, third, and every other repeti
tion as it did to tiie original. But that
there may be no question I will aay
that, if General Gary will over bit own
signature repeat what be has said io
th# publUbwd fnvnvctww nr •onjity **ay
that it is true, namely, “that Govern
or Hampton advocated th" withdrawal
of the Tllden and Hendricks electors,
I will, by th« very gentL men wh"se
name* he gives as his witnesses, prove
his statement fals a I will use no other
testimony. Out of (he mouth of Ids
own witnesses 1 will couvk-t him of
falsehood.
I will go further. 1 will undertake
to prove that Gen. Gary did the very
fbincr with which he has falsely charg
ed General Hampton. That when
Bettle and Denny, emissaries of Presi
dent Grant, offered if General Hattip
ton’s party would agree to admit that
th» State had gone for Hayes an 1
Wheeler, the Hampton Government
should be recognized, Gen. Hampton
refused the offer while General Gary
urged that it should be accepted.
General Gary has in the interview
further stated that Gen. Hampton Lent
Judge Mackey to Hayes, In Ohio, mxl
gives Judge Mackey as his wuthority.
N 'W. If Gen. Gary will repeat this over
bis own signature, I will repeat my
offer to prove by his own witnesses
that it is false. ~
Further in the Interview he says:
“But Hampton met with the mis'or-
tune of breaking his leg, and of course
I "could not strike him when ho was
down.” Let him repeat this, and I
will prove it, too, Is false, and that
Gen. Gary made the most indecent as
sault ®n Gen. Hampton at the very
time be was thought to be dying. He
shall not now lay calm lo a magna
nimity which be did not show.
I think I have made my points clear,
and, UflisM uen. Gary “admits them
silence,” I shah prove vach and every
of them. * x '
I might well stop here, but I shall
add a few ■ Words on Gwn. Gary trim-
self. He utterly misunderstands his
own positron or iie mlsstakes it as
grossly as he does that of others. He
is entirely mistaken in bokltng that
any one has stood between him aud
the people, and kept him from his
rights. The people have, and always
will, choose for themselves who shall
serve them. The whole trouble hns
been that they Would not take Gen.

Ridge Railroad t(L.piivaU-pajiltt#.-4t
is true that when Major Warley de
nounced ►the scheme In the“Conven
tion, and Gen. Gary was cajlCd on to
redeem his pledge, he refused to do it»
Wt ¥6 took his pay all tfie aaine.
3d. That he was the constant de
fender of McDeyiU, the Radical treas
urer of E Igefleld, anil that one of jthe
indictments against MeDeviit was for-
fraudulently paying to Gen Gary a
large sum of county money.-efc
«• 4 f h. That It^lS'fG after he had been
defeated for the United States Senate
by Gen. Butler he did advocate that
Gen. Butler should be withdrawn, and
that Whitteraore (.who^ had .been ex
pel Jed by the Radical Congress for
bribe-taking) put ln bis place.
* I have long known tneso ffiets' but
have not cared tonpe jfhampund do so
now only to convince Gferi. Gary that
he cannot with impunity indulge in
abuse oLthnse who have never injured
him except by too clearly seeing the
ass’s ears under the lion’s skin.

meeting of the Cabinet which was
called to consider what should be
done under the cirwmstaore. It was
proposed to acknowledge the independ
ence of the .Southern States, While
the Cabipvt hud this proposition under
conelderation, Grant moved hla army
to the South side of the Jaai-u River
and by making ids troops believe’ that
in accomplishing the crossing of the
James River, he"-had secured the
obj -ct of all of the hard fighting and .
inarching of the past months, com
bined with some minor successes which
followed • lho crossing, he infused
fresh courage into his troops and fully
restored the morale of bitxarmy. This,
too, was reported to tho Cabinet, and
when it met again for action, the
proposition to acknowledge The lude-
peudeuce of the (toufeder^cy was
In-leOuitHy postponed.

It was past midnight—tbe ligbta e*

The young man folloifed him quick

What Is that to you?

The elder of tbe two, who bad at

Sir. what can have made yon so un
happy at this early ag< ? said the old
man, moved with compassion.
Ism thsonly son utons of tbs richest
men In Eiickfort. My father died five
years ago, ancUeftjjno helrto an Im
mense fortune. Frqp that moment
every one that has coma in contact
With mo has sndeavred to -deceive
sod defraud me. I was a child in io#
uoceoos and coofiuding. My educa
tion had not been neglected, and I
pom cased my mother’s loving heart.
My friend* to whom I opened ray
wW iR;a
with distrust. I was betrothed to a
ticb beires*, possesjed of all flue ac
complish menu; I adored her with
enthusiasm and her love, I thought,
would repay me for every disappoint
ment. But I soon saw that she wished
to msks me her slave, and yoke all
other men besides to her tiiurapbal
ebarolt. I broke tbs eugag.-menr. and
selected a poor but charming
sweet innocent being as I thoug'
who would be my fife's own angel.
Alas! I found her ontf day bidding
-adieu- with tears and klsass to the
youth that she loved, tthe hod ho
cepted me for my wealth only.. My
peaoe ot mind vanished. I sought
diversion in travel Everywhere I
found the same hollowness, tbe same
threacbsry, the same ntisarv. In
sbort, I became disgusted with life,
and nwelveri this night to pot an end
to the pitiable farce.
Unfortunate young mao. said the
other wUh tears of sympathy, I pity
you. I poufesa I have been more for
tunate than you. I possessed a Wife
and daughter who came forth pure
and immacolate from the hand of the
Creator. Tbs owe has returned lo

Give, ms yonc address, old man, and
permit me to visit your daughter to

honor that you win not inform her, or
Insinuate iu any manner, that I am a
rich man. The old man held out his
band.
I give you my word. I am aaxlou*
to convince yousthat I have spoken
tbe truth. My name is William
Schmidt, and there l? my address,
giving him ftt the same time a bit of
paper, which he drew from hia pocket.
