Those vicious wretches Wilson -- Russell and Whitmore are all in Town and doing their utmost to make little of what has been done -- they are the most vindictive sweeps in the country.

I replied to the Times in yesterdays Herald and will reply to the Press. I enclose you the Herald of 28th. J.D.O.
