A Falsehood Exploded.
We made a cautious allusion, a short
tune since, to certain reports designed
to affect the standing of General Hoyt,
our candidate for Governor, before the
religious portion of tho community
Our attention was first attracted to the
subject by receiving a postal card, In
quiring if we knew anything concern
ing hi religious belief, the writer stat
ing that it was reported he was an in
fidel. Further inquiry established the
fact, not only that such reports were
current, but that a brother of Mr.
Dill, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, was helping the circulation
of such reports. We denied on our
own knowledge, the correctness of this
report; but learning that Rev. Dr.
Nelson, one of the agents of the
Methodist Episcopal Rook Concern, at
New York, knew General Hoyt quite
intimately, we took the liberty of writ
ing him on the subject. He was natu
rally surprised at such reports, and be
fore replying to us, took the precaution
to fortify his own knowledge by writ
ing to friends in Luzerne county, and
now forwards to us replies received.
Our friends will please notice that all
speak from personal knowledge. The
following are the letters,:
New York, Oct. 4, 1878.
J. "Vannote, Esq.,
Pittsburg, Pa.
Dear Sir : Your note inforniinr
me that General Henry M. Hovt is
charged with being an infidel surprised
me beyond measure. I have known
him well from his boyhood. He pre
pared for college at the Wyoming Con
ference Seminary under my charge,
and having graduated at college, ut
my earnest request, the trustees elected
him as one of our teachers in the Sem
inary. Both in the institution and
among all Its patrons, as well as
thrughout the entire community, he
was universally and deservedly held
in high esteem. I have always regard
ed him as a firm believer in the Bible
aud revealed religion. From his youth
up till the change of my residence from
"Wyoming Valley to this city, six
yearsj ago, so intimate was my ac
quaintance with General Hoyt that
had he been In the least degree inclin
ed to infidelity, I could not have
failed to discover it. When I read
your note, I said to myself, "it can't
be that within the past few years my
friend Hoyt has fallen a pray to scep
ticism," so firmly had I regarded him
established In the belief of Christian
ity. However, to be absolutely sure
that no such change in General Hoyt's
religious views had taken place withiu
the past six years as to give any occa.
alon, whatever, for charging him with
being an infidel, I wrote Rev. Dr. W
H. Olio, presiding elder of Wyoming
district, and resident of Wilkeabarre
the General's home.
Herewith I hand you Dr. Olin's let
ter, and also one from Rev. Dr. Hodge,
of tho same city. Permit me also to
say that Mr. McClintock, to whom Dr,
Hodge refers, is known throughout
the State as one of the first and most
highly respected lawyers of the Lu
zerne bar. I write in the interest of
truth, and not to eulogize General
Hoyt, though I have always had a
nigu regard for him as a man of decid
eu ttuinty ana sterling merit. I unite
with Rev. Drs. Olin and Hodge in de
claring the charge that General Hoyt
is an infidel, to be wholly without
foundation.
Very truly yours,
R. Nelson.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 1, 1878.
R. Nelson, D. D.
Dear Doctor : Your note of the
28th ultimo, concerning the report that
General Hoyt is an infidel, came to
hand yesterday. In reply I say I have
1 - . l . r. .
liven ucquuuueu. wun me ueuerai ior
eight or niue years the last four and
over, in this City, I never heard such
a charge even hinted till last week,
i i j. . .
uuu men uom a sapor newspaper sent
' me by a friend. After receiving your
note yesterday I called on Rev. F. B.
Hodge, the Paator of the First Presby
terian Church, in this city, and of the
family of General Hoyt, and showed
him your note. After reading it he.
emphatically pronoHnced the charge
or infidelity made against the General
utterly nntruo. From conversations
had With several of our older citizens,
who have known the General from his
young manhood, I have no doubt of
the correctness of Rev. Mr. Hodge's
characterization of said report. I '
Yours truly,
W. II. OLIN.
Rev. Dr. Nelson.
Dear Sir.: Dr. Olln ha handed
me your letter, and I cheerfully add
over my own signature an emphatic
denial that there is any truth in the
report that General Hoyt is an Infidel.
From personal conversation, and from
the testimony of men who knew him
intimately, I am positive on this
IH.Int, And T. MeCllntock, Esq., well
known to you, says he has often
heard General Hoyt defend the Bible
and revealed religion, in the bar olllee
lu dispute wllh brother lawyers.
Yours respectfully,
T B. Hodqe.
These letters completely explode this
mendacious falsehood. The acquaint
ance of the parties reach back to Gen
eral Hoyt's young manhood, and fol
low him to the present. There Is,
therefore, not a shadow of uncertainty
left, on the points at issue. A warfare
of tills kind is of the meanest possible
spirit. As a rule, its tendency, when
exposed, is to draw to the party as.
sailed the aid and support of all bon
orable men. It is peculiarly shameful
that a falsehood of this character
should have been so Industriously cir
culated against him. And yet, it is,
in a sense, a compliment It shows
that his opponents realize that he is
strong among the better classes, and
that if they would harm him, some
thing must be invented. His honest.
noble character is proof against fair
assault. Therefore to reach him at
all, falsehoods must be invented. We
are gratified to be thus able to lay be
fore our readers so clear and authorita
tlve a refutation of this slander. Let
our friends meet the falsehood, and de
nounce it, wherever they may find it.

His Record.
John G. Hall, the Democratic can
didate for Senator in this district, has
not always been opposed to monopo
lies as his friends would have you be
lieve. Read the following extract from
the record and then judge who would
best regard your interests. John G.
Hall or E. M Grant, the Republican
candidate who lias always been, and
is now, opposed to all monopolies and
rings:
"An Act to secure farmers and oth
ers against loses by railroads in the
county of Lycoming."
"The bill being on third reading, it
was amended by Messrs. Gray, Hall
and Aoycs, so that its provisions might
be extended to Union, Elk, Clinton
Cambria and Northumberland cc
tics."
Leg. journal, 1871, page 343.
"The question being upon the :
tion of the gentleman from Montour
to go into the committee of the whole
for special amendments us amended."
"Mr. Hall moved that the House
go into committee of the whole for
special amendment."
"Mr. Hall withdrew his motion,
"On going into committee of the
whole for thepurposeof special amend
mem. ine yens ana nays were re
quired by"
Mr. Hall voted yea.
Leg. journal, 1871, page 491.
"Mr. Hall. I find that this bill
refers to some two other cases, one of
which refers to Erie county. I find
upon references to the Act, that this
bill requires them fthe Railroad Com
panies, Ed. to fence at all places ex
cept at public crossings. Now, sir, in
a great many counties placed In the
Act, for instance, Cameron and my
own county, there are but few farmers
along the lino of the railroad. It
seems to me that the provisions of this
Act are a little unreasonable,' and
therefore on the final passage, I shall
vote "no."
"Upon the final passage of the bill,
it was not agreed to."
Leg. journal, 1871, page 492.
E. M. Grant will be our next state
senator. "Don't you forget it.
About three weeks ago Ned Lyon
died very suddenly, at his home, about
ten miles from Hillsboro, N. C. The
suspicion of the officials were aroused
and the body of the deceased exhumed
for scientific analysis of the stomach.
There is reason to believe that Lyon
was poisoned by a young girl who was
very much etiamored of him, and who
made every effort to get him to make
love to ner. i,yon took no notice of
the girl's advauces, and soon after
wards the jealous girl, a few days be-
roro Ills death, visited the house of
Lyon, and, it is said, carried him a
piece of cake, of which he ate heartily
and died the following day. It is be
lieved that the cake contained a large
amount of arsenic. The girl is now
in jail.
Voters who are opposed to monop
olies and rings will vote for E. M.
Grant for state senator.

St. Louis, October 20. Advices
from the West received by the Kansas
Pacific Railroad Company say the
ShcrifTs of Saline, Rice and Hayes
counties, Kansas, with a strong posse
of men, attacked the rendezvous of a
gang of train robbers west of Brook
field, on the eastern border of the
Great American Desert, , some two
huudred miles west of Kansas City
early yesterday morning, captured
Mike Rouke, the leader of the gang
and a notorious desperado, and wound
ed Dan Demon t, who, however, escap.
ed. Three others of the gang also got
away, but the party started in pursuit
at once, going South toward Fort
Dodge. Mike Rouke was leader of the
band that robbed the Atchisou; To-
peka and Santo Fe train at Klnsly,
and the Kansas City, St. Joseph and
Council Bluff train at Winthrop, some
months ago. It is believed his capture
will break up one of the strongest and
most desperate bands of thieves and
robbers ever organized.
The particulars of a terrible mur
der near Burk City, a little town ten
miles up Green river, in Kentucky,
have just come out A. desperado
named Neal, aged twenty-five years,
was at Burk City with a well known
farmer of that section, named Samuel
Gerhardt, and both drank considera
ble whisky and started home with a
quart bottle. At Gerhart's, where Neal
was to stay all night, the latter asked
Gerhardt to take another drink. Ger-
hardt's son, aged nineteen, interfered
andaid: "Father has had enough."
Neal said: "By G d, he's got to
drink or fight," and a row began be
tween Neal and the boy, in which the
latter was knocked down and cut
across the stomach with a knife, letting
his entrails out. The mother of the
boy ran up and caught Neal's coat,
begging him not to kill the boy, when
the infuriated desperado, stabbed her
in the loft breast near the heart, from
the effects of which she died the next
day. A melee ensued, In which an
other and younger son of Gerhardt
was cut, and Neal also badly cut. The
murderer then fled to a farm several
miles distant, where he was arrested
Monday, and was yesterday sent to
jail. It is probable that the boy wi'l
die, and Neal is in a precarious condi
tion. 'The woman murdered was about
to bo confined. Great excitement pre
vails in the neighborhood.
