The "Tho following
prefaced by Express :
lowing letter dictated by ThurlowWocd
but n abort time before his death ,
contains hia a worn ntatement of his
knowledge concerning the abduction

chapter in relation to the sensational
events which in their tiwo caused so
great a social and political convulsion.

After reading the proceedings of the

I vrroto a' six-lino paragraph
for The lloahester Telegraph , in which
I stated that a citlson of Batavia had
been spirited away from his homo and

absence of several days , n village
mooting had boon hold and a committee -
mittoo of citizens appointed to inves
tigate the matter , adding that aa it
w < w known that the Frco Masons were
concerned in his abduction , it be

To Settle the War.
Spcdtt lH'imUh to Tim DM.
NEW YoitK , November 27. A dis
patch from Chicago to the World says
that active stops are _ being taken to
bring the present disastrous railroad
war to a apoody termination. The beginning -
ginning of the negotiations was the
following telegraphic correspondence
Jay Gould , Hugh Riddle , president of
the Rosk Island , and Alex Mitchell ,
president of the St. Paul , Mr. Riddle -
dlo nud Mr. Mitchell each received a
dispatch Saturday from Jay Gould , of
which the following is a copy :
"It Booms to mo it would bo a wise
thing to call a halt in the present rail
road war , to roatoro rates and to arbi
trate existing diObroncoa , including
competing traffic and further extension
of territory. Will you not approve
such a plan of adjustment ? Please
answer.
To thia the following answers were
sent :
Mr , Riddle to Gould : "Wo do not
object to calling a bait in the present
railroad war and restoring rates if all
partiea nro agreed , but think the set
tlement of railroad extensions in the
future quite as important aa the pros-
out rovouuo. No proposal from the
opposing parties to arbitrate has boon
made to this company. "
From Mr. Mitchell to Mr. Gould :
"Your telegram received. Lot all
parties restore rates at once , and then
meet and BOO how far they can agree
on the settlement of points in dispute
and lot the points on which they can
not agree bo loft to arbitration. This
la substantially what you suggest. "
A World reporter called on Gould
to-night to got further information in
regard to the above news. Gould said
the Btatcmonta therein made were cor
rect aa far na ho know the facts.
Commicsioner Midgely haa also tel
egraphed Gould that ho has aakod the
general managers of all roada extend
ing to the Mianouri to meet in Chicago
to-morrow.

PllILADELPHIA , NOV 8 , 1881.
MY DEAU PIIESIDENT : Your loiter
ban just reached mo , and 1 trill come
to see yon and talk ovtr onoo moro
the subject of which it treats In the
same spirit of conciliation i in which
wo have heretofore diau'aed it. I
will telegraph you in advance of my
coming , -which will bojjuilJM soon as
I can free myself froni emrogomonta
hero. In the interval J winh you to
consider again the reasons why I can
not share your oplnionkup6n this sub
ject. As I have alroity told you ,
I know comparatively i nothing about
the star route frauds until Proaidont
GarCold called my attention to them.
Ho epoko yery earnestly of hia duty
to have them thoroughly Investigated ,
to remove all persona who ought to
have prevented thorn and , ECO that all
persona wore prosooutofi ngainst whom
reasonable grounds for anch course
were developed by the investigation.
Ho oald ho had explained totht'poat- _ )
master general the aa'in'i ' viowa and
also why ho wished hiiji to consult mo
rathej than the district attorney of
the district. The pootmaater general
called upon mo and we wont together
to the president ; He w&c quite em
phatic as before in expression , of his
own opinion on the subject. He
spoke of the frauds u unparalleled
villainies , as loathsome ulccraton the
body politio which needed to bo cut
out with all its roois , no , matter
where they extended , ' llestrrtcd that
while it did not belong to mydopart-
mont , certainly not at all at that atngo
of the matter , yet ho wlnhed bo aoao-
ciato mo with the poatma totj- [ general
to the extent of having the 1 Utter feel
at perfect liberty to consult do at any
time about it. Ho says ho ' { intended
to remove Gen. Brady ni so u aa the
postmaster general could fhfd a satis
factory onccesaor. At a subsequent
interview he regretted ' the delay in
that matter and urged jiis ifnmediate
removal , aa ho hold him principally
roaponaiblo for the gret ( fraqds which
ho evidently was convhcedfh&d been

tUation on this aubjecfc- speak
without the slightest personal warmth ,
for thenceforth * ! oeMedfeaiiagthem ,
and I only know what/TVas / told bj
othera , or reading other nawapapera ,
President Gar field subsequently ex
pressed regret that ho had exposed
mo to auch attacks by connecting me
with the matter , not necessarily part
of my duty at that stage , but I tolc
him I regarded it as an honor to bi
abused in hia company. I added the
general proposition , that in those dayi
the abuse of thieves is about the enl ;
decoration in our public lifo wortl
winning , and is. the surest posslbli
passport to the good opinion of hones
mon.
In this special and In thia compan
lonahip , I wont on advising with th
president and postmaster general a
the occasion rose. My functions wer
alight and infrequent , for Woodward
us apocial agent of the postoflico dc
partment , was best acquainted wit ]
these frauds and moat zealous in thoi
investigation. He not only potsosaoi
the entire confidence of the poatmaato
general , but had boon commended t
mo personally by Senator Hawley a
a man of excellent judgment and no
only of undoubted but of aggroeiiv
honcaty. When , therefore , Wooc
ward thought It desirable 1m about
have the aaalatanco of Gibson , and th
postmaster general coinciding in thn
opinion. I wrote later to al'reaidnt
Oarflolu explaining the matter , an
received hia direction to .employ Oil
son , When aubaequerilly Woodwar
and Gibson agreed in requesting tli
employment of Cooku , precisely 11
aame oonno waa pursued with tl
aame result. Whenever they brougl
me any person supposed to posse
knowledge of these frauds I advlac
him of the truth and whenever I r
celrod lottora lUKgoattng aourcoa of li

what had occurred between the presi
dent and myself. I never expected
President Garfield to recover , and
s I did not for n moment
entertain the idorv ot remaining in
thu cabinet after hia death , I snppojcd
such connection aa 1 had had with the
star route cases waa substantially ended -
od and that Miy further relation which
the department might have with
them would devolve on my successor.
As , however , Proaidont Garfield con *
tinned to llvo I continued to do what
ever waa necessary , but nothing moro.
When wo were considering the remov
al ol the president to Long Branch ,
Oorkhill naked mo if I know whether
these cases would bo ready for the
qrand jury. I told him I know noth
ing of the details of the cases and that
of oautsj Ccoko , hia own apioialasaiat-
ant in the caeca , was the person to
give him any infoimation ho desired.
As I felt quite sure the re
sponsibility of the government
would devolve upon you at an early
day. I doalrod to do nothing which I
could avoid to crubarrixsn or commit
you or my successor. I therefore
postponed the ooloction of leading
counsel until I was assured by the
gentleman in charge of nuch matters
that it ought to bu delayed no longer ,
and thereupon the postm&atur general
and I mot and discussed the subject.
AVe agreed that , in view of the cir
cumstances , wo ought to select from
the loaders of the bar a gentleman not
only of the highest ability and charac
ter , but a gentleman also whoao per
sonal and political relations would
very probably bo not only cordial but
confidential with you and with my
successor , BO that you should approach
thoao cases with every possible advan
tage. It was in thcso spirits that wo
selected Mr , Bliss and Mr. Browstcr ,
and with the selection of theno gentle-
raon I consider my relation to tie star
tonto matters as ended.
Aa teen aa President GwQold died ,
I informed you of my determination to
leave the cabinet as soon as you could
conveniently appoint my auccoasor ,
and a few days after I made public
announcement of that determination.
After your Return from Now York ,
you kindly asked mo to reconsider it ,
and I aa kindly explained to you why
I could not do BO. You then decided
upon my successor , and upon your as
surance that ho would bo nominated
to the senate not later than Wednes
day , October 20 , I loft Washington
Tuesday , October 25 , having made
my adloua , and leaving the solicitor
general with your approval in charge
of the department. On Thursday last
at the depot you explained to mo why
you had not been able to do as you
expected and why you had decided to
leave the solicitor general in charge
until the mooting of congress. I really
think , therefore , the first thing in or
der is the acceptance of my resigna
tion"and assuming that to have been
done I will Btato why I waa convinced
it was desirable on public grounds'
alone , if the atar route cases are tried ,
they most be principally tried In the
piat kt.pf Columbia , and the jurora

gene .on constantly aa to Preaident
Garfield up to the day he was ahot ,
and aa to all the mat of us ever since ,
and the influence of auch a atoadj
11 outpour upon the community of juron
ia sure to be very injurious. The
Now York Times , in this case , as It
the Tweed case , has printed verj
f many of the records and , with the aic
i of the proas generally , has donbtlesi
B carried conviction to the general pub
t lie , but among the public of the Dis
trict of Columbia papers appear con
trolled by Brady and edited by Gore
o I ham and others and circulate , I havi
a I no doubt , greatly in excess of news
papers published elsewhere. Now
while those newspapers have beei
abusing mo they have beoi
aa steadily praising you and to BUG !
r I extent that they are sometimes fool
dllshly mlstaxon. They were calloc
your organs then , and you mue
have observed that both before am
since I left Washington , all kinds c
it falsehoods concerning our relation
e had been published , purporting to b
aeuil-olliclal , and if not inspired i
d least not dlacouraged by you. I knee
o how absolutely uutruo all thla ia , bi
it it serves the purpose of loading th

Would certainly bo very powerful and
might bo fatal.
I have written yon n long letter
about this because I recognize the
gravity of the subject , and bocauto I
wish yon to look Into my mind upon
it as through au open window upon
thia matter , as on all others. How.
over much I "iesiro to oblige you , I
must aland upon my own convictions
of duty , aud 1 cannot , therefore , do xs
you wish , because I bollovo it would
bo wrong , If , however , there la any
other Tay open in which I can serve
you , I will gladly do it. If you wish
to satisfy youraolf of the utter and
shameless iniquity of these transac
tions by n personal examination of the
records , I will cheerfully como to
Washington and assist the postmaster
general in laying thorn before
you. A dozen typical cisoa
can bo fully examined in a few houia.
If , then , you oui consistently glva ox *
prusslon to the conviction that I ho
government has , boon shamefully
robbed , and that the mon engaged in
trying to bring wrongdoers to justice
have your hearty approval , you will ,
in my opinion , do far moro toward se
curing a just result than Is possible In
any other way.
Meanwhile , whatever service I can
render which is calculated , in my
judgement , to help and not hinder
the good cause , I will gladly render
without atint aud without reward. I
will consult and advtso to the boat of
my ability with yon or with my suc
cessor or gentlemen in charge of the
cases , or anybody whom you may sug
gest , for in that way , if I am of little
use , I will at least bo sure I am not
doiug harm.
Aud now I have given you once
moro my deliberate opinions upon this
whole matter , and a full statement of
my connection with it. Slncorly yours ,
( Signed. ) WAYNF. MoVEAuii.
