QULRIED AND ANSWERED.
It nppeara from n letter which we
print today that had the members of
Morion Roberts Post who have charge
of this part of the world, only asked to
see Mrs. Potter's pension certificate the."
misht eaBily haveavoided making an un
called for attack on the United States
post-office department. I'robnblv the
lady's friends will be astonished to lenm
that they are blamed for not approach
ing the officers of Marion Post, hat in
hand, and requesting the favor of allow-1
ing a lady to work lor an nonesi living
in the Asheville post-oHicc. Hereafter,
United Slates employes will please show j
their credentials at the depot.
Let Mr. Hewitt Speak.
The'insidc history of the Great Fraud j
of 18TC is yet to be written. The most
that is known of its inception is that ii
was conceived in the office of the New
York Times by the then managing edi
tor John Kiid, and at night when most
dark deeds are done, and that he had the
powerlul aid of Zachariah Chandler in
carrying out the plan of stealing a state
for Hayes. These facts came out some
what recently. How the crime was con
summated it has been believed was
known of all men; but the recent remark
of ex-mayor Hewitt that the vote of
Louisiana was oll'ered him and that he
relused to buy it mid that someone did
buy it leads to the belief that all the
facts have not yet transpired,
Ex-Mayor Hewitt is a set man, and
will speak when he gets ready and not
till then. Lint it is a natural inquiry,
why has he not spoken before? It is a
certainty that the democrats did not buy
Louisiana and it is prett v nearly n certain
ty that the republicans did. How why
do we not get the whole facts from Mr.
Hewitt? Whom is he shielding? It
would seem that the complete story
must rebound to the credit of both him
self and Mr. Tildcn.
Moreover the truth of history should
be brought out and placed on record for
the instruction ami guidance of future
generations as well as our own. Mr.
Hewitt should speak, ami the eve of the
campaign of 1MIL' is a highly projKT
time.

good while since Qi'ERiKs has hud a tip

microscope now it' would seem that,
as the detectives have given up all hopes
of catching the men who highwayed
$300 in Cripple Creek, the next divvy will
be when the 0. A. R. get9 Mrs. Fotter's

Editor The Citizkn: On Saturday1
last you published a resolution of the 0 i
A. R. post here concerning the postolhce.
SiiKv that time there has been a "flutter"
and Mr. Josephine Potter has sent and
shown us her pension certificate, which
satisfies in that she is the widow of ii
; union soldier. So much of the resolution ;
! ns reflects upon her not being the widow ;
of such soldier is very promptly with-'
drawn, and if her friends bad shown as i
much zeal on this line prior to your pub
lication ns they have since, that p-irt ol
1 the resolution would not have been in.
1 tried in every way to lind if she was
such widow, but failed in every way. I
, even wrote to those at Washington who
i I heard had asked her to have a place in
the postofliee. and never dul 1 get a reply
i trom one ot them, ho her Incnils ( : are

erts Post, has this paragraph: 'fighting about is that such ollieials ,
"We do not propose to run any man , las. X. Tynrr, assistant postmaster gen
oi office, although the ollices belong to eral, writing along letter to our post-
thelj. A. K., lor they liought and paid

cemeteries."
This is the modern 0. A. R. idea that
drains Irom the tax pavers of this coun
try twice ns much nioticv annually as in
Garlield's day in congress when he said
that the amount then expended lor pen
sions was larger than it ever would 1
again. "As a witness, see the national
cemeteries." Ah, but the dead lying
there never believed, never dreamed, of
their services ever being placed on nnv
master asking mm to givcnera piae
and the same letter being endorsed by J.
Lowery Bell as second assistant post
master general, and with a good-sized
indorsement signed bv G. S. Gilkison,
comptroller, and sending their "pels"
over the country asking lor appoint
ment and our postmaster seizing upon
the opportunity in three hours alter
suing the indorsement to give her a
place, thus rutting these accounting
officers under obligation to him. Now
to show you bow the tiling was worked:
The nlace she got was only paying $'J"
per month, but when she came in Mr.
postmaster maoc application ior an in-
such mercenary basis ns some metnlicrs crease lor her, and the increase went up
of the (1. A. K. now provide for it. They
fought ns they believed, not for offices,
not lor the privilege of dictating to
women where they should be allowed
to earn an honest living, but for what
they thought the rigiit. Could those
cemeteries give up their dead to come to
consciousness in our day and generation
they would be astounded to learn that
what they fought for was pensions and
the right to dictate to the government
of the Tinted States who should
compose its civil service. It is proper
and right that ex-soldiers' and soldiers'
windows should, all other things being
equal, be given the preference in filling
the public offices. Hut the soldiers who
fill the national cemeteries would never
have joined in the unholy scramble for
the last dollar in the t'nited States treas
ury, for the last office in the gilt of the
government, ns niemliers of the G. A.
R. now do. They would have been far
more likely so to conduct themselves
that the nation would extend as a re
ward what some in G. A. K. posts now
at short notice to Soil lier month
The Grand Army has friends, widows
and orphans, who are just as capable as
Mis. l'otler, down here. They cannot
get a place. To show you that 1 am
right there is not one, not one in all the
revenue department of North Carolina
I except Collector Rollins) nor the post
offices has got a place. This shows ( bc
fo e vou suggest ) that we have no influ
ence, or do not exert it, but hereafter we
are going to do our part. And I know
it is because we have not tried, lor we
have got the influence when we try.
Mrs. rotter came here as a st-angcr
from, we do not know where, suppose
from Indiana, Philadelphia or Washing
ton, recommended by those gentlemen
who certainly had the thought that
there weie no I'uion widows down
south, or I'nion soldiers cither, hut
1 wish to remind them that this pos.
is over 100 strong, and there are
fourteen other posts in North Carolina.

1 As a witness sec the National cemeteries.
We have not intimated that we in
tended to run the post office. We do
demand as a right, regardless of the propose to look strictly alter those
finances of the government or the ability
of the taxpayers to pay.
' It little becomes the noisy G. A. R.
member of today to point in justifica
tion of his demands to the national cem
eteries. The men lying there are silent;
nor did any act or word of theirs when
living authorize those who pretend now
to speak for them to put their services
on the same plane with the hireling sol
diery of Europe, fighting as little as pos-
iur bailiwick who are in our charge,
In this we will be sanctioned bv 80U,
