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.

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.
