ShamelessAttack on Gen.Gresham.
A miserable article ina Cincinnati
newspaper attacks Gen. Gresham’s bril-
liant military record in a manner which
the following headlines sufficiently at-
_ testzl “Gresham’s war record—Docu-
mentary proof that he never was in bat-
tle, but he has drawn over $9,000 pen~
sion money for a wound inflicted by a
bushwhacker.” Political criticism is
one thing, and if decently conducted, a
very necessary and proper thing, but
when it is carried to untruthfully assail-
ing a soldier’s record won on the field
of battle in defense of his country, it
becomes abominable. To make this
matter worse, the attack is directed at
that portion of his record where by the
most gallant exposure of himself in ad
vance of his troops he received the
wound whichhas crippled him for life.
The article-in question, telegraphed-
from Indianapolis, goes on to “defy
any one to prove that Gresham was ever
in battle,” that “he was never in one,”
that “he was shot by a bushwhacker
while on the march from Decatur to At-
lanta," and ends by referring to the
wound which crippled him for life as
“his flesh wound from the bushwhack-
er. "
Volume and page and scraps from the
war records are quoted to sustain the
above statements, but as the index to
the same volume contains 138 refer.
ences to Gen. .G'rcsham's record ’on the
Atlanta campaign, the writer attacking
his record is without a shadow of excuse,
for distorting and misrepresenting it.
Before attending in the formal rec-
ord, it is proper to say that there was
no ofiicer of his rank in the army of
the Tennessee who was held in higher
esteem for courage, activity, soldierly
ability and efficiency, says the Wash-
ington Post.
Gen. Clarke, the adjutant general of
that army, said a short time since that
Gen. Grant, speaking to a group of
officers, once said that in the army
of the Tennessee he ranked Sherman
first, McPherson second, and Gresham
third.
Gen. Sherman, in his memoirs, speak- I
ing of the brilliant assault of Gresham’s
troops upon a strong position, says:
“It was in carrying this hill that Gen.
Gresham, a great favorite, was badly
wounded.” _
Gen. C. C. Walcutt, one of the most
distinguished officers of the army of
the Tennessee, speaking a few days
since of Gen. Gresham’s military rec-
ord. eulogized it as in every particular,
and at all times,rof the very highest
order. He was especially emphatic in
praise of the general’s conduct in the
attack wherein he was wounded.
The very report of Gen. McPherson
which this reckless assailant quotes to
sustain his statements thus refers to
the wound which is styled a “flesh
wound from the bushwhacker.” “Brig.
Gen. Gresham, commanding Fourth
Division, Seventeenth Army Corps,
was wounded in the leg below the knee
by a minnie ball, which shattered the
bone, and I am afraid he will lose his
leg.”
The circumstances under which the
“flesh wound frOm a bushwhacker,”
was “inflicted while Gen. Gresham
was in the rear onW't-he march from
Decatur to Atlanta,” are thus set forth,
in the very volume from which this
writer quotes, by Col. B. F. Potts,
. Thirtv-second Ohio, Commanding the
First Brigade of Gen. Gresham’s divi-
sion, in his battle report:
“Brig. Gen. W. Q. Gresham, commanding
Fourth Division“ Seventeenth Army Corps,
came up to my line, and at my request dis-
mounted and was proceeding to my skirmish
line to observe the position of the enemy’s
battery when he fell severely wounded bya
ball item the enem ’s sharpshooters. and was
carried from the fie (1."
Here, then, wasa division command-
er, who, as the reports show, had de-
ployed his division within rifle range of
the enemy, and under his fire, had then
driven the enemy a mile and a quarter,
had then ridden not only up to the
front line, but wasron his way out to
the skirmishers, then hotly engaged,
when he was most Seriously’weundedi.
While no further illustration isne‘eded
to show Gen. Gresham’s character as a
division commander, or to indicate the
degree to which he participated in the
fighting of his troops, the following
from Gen. McPherson to Gen. Sher.
.man in regard to one of the most bril-
superfluous:
f‘July 5. Early this forenoon Gresham ’s di-
visxon of Blair‘s command charged and car-
rieda line of rebel rifle pits on the Turner
Ferry road. and then pressed forward until
about 6 o’clock p. m., when the .gained a pc-
Sition on Nickajack Creek wt in about 500
yards of the rebel intrenchments on the Chat-
tahoochee.’ '
This was driving the enemy into his
strong works at the crossing of this
river. To those who knew Gen. Gres-
ham as a soldier such demonstration as
this is needless. To such as may haye
been influenced by this inexcusable at-
tack upon his military record it should
be conclusive. As t) the author and
publisher, nothing could be more sc-
vere than these facts from the record.
The Post has in the past felt con-
strained to criticise some of Gen. Gree-
ham’s public acts, but it will not let
pass, unnoticed, such a brutal assault
upon his military record, which is one
of as heroic courage as that made by
any man who ever [went to thodefense
of his country.

Saysthe Los Angeles Herald: “The
funeral of the late 0. P. Riggs was
attended by a great many sorrowing
friends. Thus the life of a useful and
good man has come to an end. Mr. O.
P. Riggs was a man who was kindness
itself and mono knew him but to respect
and honor him. In all walks of life
his judgment and advice were sought
onrnanv occasions, which he always,
cheerfully gave, and those most in-;
timat‘egirwith him can testify that the‘
world'is better by his having lived in
it.” The wife of the deceased will be
remembered by our older citizens as

The Patent Office Contract.
A Washington dispatch says: The
Senate Committee on printing consist-
ing of Senators Gorman, Ransom and
Manderson, acting under a Senate res-
olution, this afternoon began the in.
vestigation of the charges made in‘the
public press relative to the awarding
‘of the contract for the printing of the
Patent Office Gazette and other mat-
ters. Commissioner Seymour oftthe
Patent Office and Mr. Josiah Quincy
were present, the former having with
him Representative DcForest of Con-
necticut. .' '._ . - . _
Mr. Seymour was the first Witness.
He brought with him certified copies
of the records of his office and corres-
pondence in refutation of the charge
that there had been any irregularity in
the letting of the contract.
Senator Manderson asked some ques-
tions that were pointed and plain to
bring out the connection with the sub:
ject of Josiah Quincy, ex-Assrstant
Secretary of State. _;
The fact was elicited that the method
of paying for printing was changed
from monthly installments to periods
of much shorter duration, and that at
one time the firm had some trouble in
getting its money as aresult of which
Mr. Quincy called upon the Commis-
sioner in behalf of the lithographic
company.
Mr. Manderson was curious about
what he called Mr. Quincy’s actIVity in
getting this contract and having the
people paid in advance, and asked ill-s.
Commissioner if he could give any
reason for :uch activity. _
“I don’t know of any reason,"re-
sponded Mr. Seymour, “except on the
score of friendship ; he appeared-to be
a friend of Mn. Kinney’s.” '
Mr. Seymour denied that Mr. Quin-
cy had anything to do‘with the N ation-
al Lithographing Company or With the
contract received. ’
He also denied all the newspaper
charges, and willata future meeting
present a written statement and submit
to another cross examination. .

dtathhen Josiah Quincy will take the

A E YOU A SUFFERER
From Rheumatism or Neuralgia_?
E. P. Tayeij and Solomon DaVIs
Speak to Victims of this Terrible
Disease. .
E. P, Tayer, of East Nassau, N. Y.,
says : “I'w1sh it possible to- speak per-
sonally wrth every rheumatic victim,
for _I would tell them of my terrible ex-
perience and the relief and cure .I'
found in a simple remedy. .
“When I first saw in the newspapers,
“Rheumatism can be cured,” I was
loath to believe it, but when I found
thatthe statement was made by Dr.
David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., I
inquired into it, and upon his advice I
began to use Dr. David Kehnedy’e Fav-
orite Remedy. My condition at that
time seemed hopeless. I had suffered
for fifteen years with inflamatory rheu-
matism. My physician said I would be
a cripple for life, but it was not ordain-
ed that way, for I had not usedFavor-
ite Remedy long, before I was con~
vinced that it was right medicine, and
in a. short while I was cured. That was
three years ago, and I have not felt a
trace of the disease since.”
.Solomon Davis, of North Kortright, .
1V. Y., suffered awfully from neuralgia
and loss of sleep, as is frequently the
, case With'elderly people ; in speaking
to the writer, he said : I found that Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy relieved
the bowels, improved the circulation of
the blood, and the old pain left me
altogether.
One of Norwalk’s physicians recently
said : “There is no reason in suffering
With rheumatism or neuralgia, for “Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy will cure
them. Druggists sell it.
