NF.W YonK , July II. A correspondent nt

follow * : Tlio situation of tlio congressional
party in Ohlll has been grossly mlsroro. | )
sented to the people of tlio United States
through the medium of correspondents In
( * tbo capital city of Santiago , also by those
tvho huvo booa traveling on the government
transport Imporlnlo that accompanies the
torpedo cruisers Lynch and Candol. To n
person visiting this port fully posted , as ho
Imagined , on affairs through the medium of
dispatcher published , nothing could bo moro
Btrlklng than the scones at the port of Iqul-
quo on Juno 10. Although expecting to Ilnd
the town In ruins , I found there
\voro scarcely any signs of the demoli
tion. Certainly llvo blocks of buildings
Troro burned through Ihc-porslslent refusal of
JJnlnmccda's oniccrs to put the firemen to
Work to extinguish the llamos. The unbiased
Opinion of foreign residents U that tho. do-
Colonel Soto , and the attacking war ships
bad orders to In no wise use loaded shells
that might cause unnecessary lost ot 11 fo. In
the attendant excitement there was a few
charged projectiles IIrod , but beyond dam
ages caused to the clock tower of the plaza
Una the breakage of the walls of a building ,
ho ether uamagos were caused by the war
hips In the bay. The town 1 * in excellent
order , the municipal orders have restored all
damages to property , and nearly all building
Sltoi of iho burned streets are now occupied
by either bouses In course of ro-oroctton or
completed. Tbo majority of the houses were
Of wood and plaster , and tholr reconstruction
does not occupy any length of time.
The Itata incidents occupy the public and
Oftlcial minds. Public sentiment condemns
In u marked measure the action of the United
States government In the matter. It is con
ceded that the German captain of tbo Itata
acted wrongfully in carrying off the United
Stales doptily marshal , but for that offense
the United State * government should not
bnvo sought redress , retaining the arms
tuul ammunition at this critical ooriod is
deeply deplored by the leaders of the party.
It was ox pec ted that with thrso.munitlous of
war the dolly increasing force of volunteer
olellers would have boon armed and a move
ment mudo to the south to cast
the die for victory or failure. Hut
the determination of the congressional
cabinet to deliver the Itataand in no wise
offend the United Stales , has in a measure
retarded the movements of the belligerent
forces , The ultlmalo release of the Ilata oy
the United Stales government Is earnestly1
hoped for , and In that hope there Is no doubt
that the belligerents huvo the sympathy of all
foreigners throughout Chili.
Tbo farcical bombardment of Iquiqua by
the torpedo cruisers Lynch and Condol on
Juno 9 Is a fair example of the methods of
parfaro as conducted by Balmacodas1 naval
forces. Throwing shells from a vessel seven
ttlles from shore Is simply a Wusto of good
material and at that distance Iho alleged ruin
of Iqulquo was accomplished. As soon as
the corvette Abtao and Iho old Huascar were
con to Ijo coming out of Iqulquo harbor Iho
torpedo cruisers got under way , and , although
upcrlor modern vessels in every respect to
the last named ship , they retreated south lo
Attack the defenseless port of Tocooilhi.
There a force was landed and the customs
nd municipal documents destroyed , and
nftor the crows had annoyed the residents
the Iwo cruisers \vont to Valparaiso.
Tolcgrnohlo communication between Toco-
flllln and the north was cut off by the sailors
from thar cruiser. The commander of iho
Condol Informed Iho Sanllago authorities
that he hnd succeeded In bombarding Iqulquo
Riul Tocopilla , and had so scared the officers
pf the congressional shins that they retreated
into port. Ho pronounced the fleet as use
less and badlr disorganized. Beyond roquir-
tag docking there is not a single ship In the
vifiaanau tntt nf t hr t no 11 t Trtii fa + tmf f > n tt nt Vin
icpondod upon. I can confidently state these
facts from personal observation. The only
purpose to bo gained by the Balmaceda fac
tion of these untruthful reports is to impress
foreign nations that he maintains supremacy
ever the Insurgents. The revenues of the
rt of Iquique , amounting to $2,000,000
Uthly , arc in the bands of the congres
sional party. This sum Is far in excess of
any rovoouo that Balmaceda receives , and
vrhllo the receipts continue there Is no doubt
that the congressional party will bo able to
nrocUro sinews of war and maintain their sit
uation.
The yarns told by various British ship
xi03tors as to their acts of solf-sacriflco and
irotuction granted to these who wont on
poard tholr ships during the bombardment of
Iquiciue are highly colored. I Ilnd thai with
> ut few exceptions payment for services
rendered and a good round sum , too was
obtained from the unfortunates wliCvivoro on
the vessel * . The crows , cooks and stewards
of the vessels united in fleecing every ono
that they know would aland the extortions.
"With regard to the present state ot Interne-
clno strife , It is almost Impossible to predict
the time or manner of Its termination. But
looking In an impartial light upon the sub
ject It appears at thli moment that the con
gressional party is far In the ascendant.

AGAINST PRISON liABOU.
Mr. Bronnan" Writes a Iinttor oa Con-
viet Labor nt Lincoln.
To the Board of Public Loads and Build
ings , Lincoln , Neb. : I notice in tbo Lincoln
papers that the addition to the state peni
tentiary at LIucolu Is being built by the
prison contractor with convict labor , while
house roll No. 510 as passed by the loeisla-
turo provided that a largo sum of money bo
appropriated for the erection of a cell house
by days labor. Now if that appropriation
and house roll No. 597 appropriating another
largo sum of money for an addition to the
public building at Beatrice moans anything
it Is that the work should bo douo under the
direction of your honorable body by honest ,
free labor at honest free men's ' wages. Sec
tion 8 , of house roll 147 as amended by myself
roads :
Sec. 3. That said building shall bo erected by
day'H wor. ( miller the d I root Ion and supervis
ion of the board of public lands and InilUllnxs ,
who are hereby authorized to employ such
architects , Hiiporlntoiulonta , forumuu uud
workmen as may be necessary.
f see no reason why your honorable body
cannot and will not glvo the erection of Iho
Beatrice house to Mr. Moslor , to bo done by
convicts , as well as the penltonliary , and pay
him for such convict labor tbo same price as
Is given honest , skilled stone and brick
masons , plasterers and carpenters.
Tbo reason that the legislature passed
these bills was that the stale might got good ,
well built buildings uuu no moro such build
ings as the soldiers' homo at Grand Island ,
that already has had to bo braced , tied and
roofed , and Is now In a dangerous condition.
I confess that during the session ot the
legislature I could not sea how Mr. Moslor
and his gang of hired lobbyists would bo re
paid for the time nnd money spent In getting
this appropriation passed , especially as his
contract with the state compels him to
build free of cost to Iho state a largo number
ot cells in this building , but now if you are
to allow him to put his convicts at work on
these building and pay Mr. Moslor for them
at the wages paid free labor , besides paying
Air. Moslor for the keeping of these convicts ,
I see clearly that Moslor , Dorgan & Co. were
not so terribly disinterested ai they claimed
to bo.
I therefore , together with all honest labor
ers , respectfully request that these buildings
be built by the legislature. Yours respect
fully , JAMES C. UIIUNNAN.

Lincoln's Biographer , Korusos to Bo
Summarily Disposed Of and
Taken Another Whirl at the
Philadelphia Editor.
, July 11. The Times this
morning publishes an editorial addressed to
John G. Nicolay under the caption , "Spanked
and Dismissed. " It is in part as follows :
"Had you known anything about the insldo
political movements in the white house in
IBIH you would have known that my
letter to Lincoln , quoted In your de
fense , was written because of a suddenly
developed effort in this utato to divide the
lines drawn by the bitter Cameron and Cur-
tin factional war for and against Lincoln.
The Cameron follower * claimed to bo the
special supporters of Lincoln aud attempted
to drive Curtln and the administration Into
hostility to the president. My justly as
sumed devotion to Curtln was the
pretext for declaring mo as either restrained -
strained in my support of Lincoln , or
likely to bo in opposition. The moment Isaw
the statement in print I wrote the letter you
quote to dismiss from Lincoln's mind ull ap
prehensions about either open or passive op
position from Curtin's friends.
' Equally , Indeed oven , moro flagrantly
falsa is your statement of only a minor truth
about the action of the t'onnsyluanla delega
tion at Baltimore in I SOI. You say Cameron
cast the solid vote of the state
for Hnmlln. Had yOn1 doslrod to bo
truthful , you would have added that Cameron
cast Iho solid vole of the delegation for John
son before the close of tbqjtlrat ballot ,
'Ilnd you sought the truth as an honest
biographer you could have' obtained it , not
only from mo , so far a < i fkncw It , but from
such living witnesses as Charles A. Dana and
Mural Hatstoad. and fronivtho recorded testi
mony of General Cameron , Colonel Roney
and others who know much of Lincoln and
but litllo of you. Ir.slontl of seeking the
truth , you Hung your Ignorance and egotism
with ostentatious indecency upon the be
reaved household ot the yet. , uutombod Ham
lln , and when brought tq , bay by these bolter
Informed than yourself , you resent in the tone
nnd lerms of a ward-hoorer1 In the wharf-rat
District battling for coiliriabulary honors. I
think It safe to sny the public Judgment will
bo that it would have boon-well for both Lin

MOVING SALE.
BOO Lincoln about his choice for vice presi
dent , it having boon hinted that Lincoln
favored Johnson. Mr. Cook afllrms , says
Nlcolay , that Lincoln expressed no prefer
ence to the vice proslaontal candidate but
after the interview with him ho was as
positive that Hannibal Hamlln was his
favorite as that ho was alivo. The fact is
further proven , says Nlcolay , by the action
ot tbo Illinois delegation , which was a unit
for Mr. Hamlln.
It Is further proven to bo a mlsstatomont ,
says Nicolay , by Colonel Hay , who says , "I
bavo nothing tor say about Nlcolay's asser
tion or aboutthlstelegram , but I do corrobor
ate tbo statement that Mr. Lincoln withhold
all opinion calculated to Influence the Balti
more convention of 1804. "
It is again proven to bo a mlsstatomont ,
says Nlcolay , by the .action of Simon Cam
eron , chairman of the Pennsylvania delega
tion , in nominating Hamlln as a candidate
for vice-president aud casting for him the
whole fifty-two votes of the Pennsylvania
delegation.
It is proven to bo a mlsstatomont , contin
ues the letter , by Colonel McCluro's own ao-
lion in Iho Baltimore convention , when at
the first vote for vico-presldont ho voted for
Hnmlln for vice-president. If Colonel Mc-
Clura did this willingly , says Nicolay , ho be
trayed Lincoln's alleircd confidence and in
structions. If ho did it unwillingly ho proved
himself u political clphor , n pretended agent
to manipulate a national convention , who bad
not influence enough in bis own delegation
to control his own voto. The first roll call
was decisive In showing Johnson's strength
against the Pennsylvania vote and it showed
that McClure contributed nothln ? for but
everything against the result ho jays ho was
commissioned to bring about.
