He perceives that the Herald's Paris Correspondent is at its work of detraction. Faulkner does not know who this scoundrel is but all his letters show him to be vile and unprincipled. He has been indulging in false statements in regard to Faulkner since the intelligence of his secret reached Paris. Faulkner asks McMaster to notice the letter in the Herald of this morning. He feels some surprise that Geo. Raymond of the New York Times permits these continual assaults without one word of vindication or dissent. The correspondent of the "Times" was constantly at the Legation shared loyally its confidence and was perfectly famili8ar with all that could be properly known. In his letter published in the "Times" he has vindicated the integrity and fidelity of his representative conduct down to the date of his last official order with the heads of the French government. And yet because Faulkner is in prison and unable to define himself the correspondent has omitted no opportunity to rivet his chains. He does not ask Geo. Raymond to prejudice himself in any way by exhibiting the slightest sympathy for a political prisoner but it seems to him that where he has the evidence of her own accredited correspondent in Paris at least manly on his part to vindicate his official character. Mr. Ludlow was there yesterday but Faulkner did not see him. He presumes he found upon conversation with Mr. Seward that his case is hopeless and he gives himself no more friendly concern about it. No material changes have occurred in their maps since McMaster left there. They all rejoice in his good fortune but feel the loss of his humorous, piquant, and exhaustive conversation. He shall be most happy to be remembered to Mrs. McMaster and should be again charmed to bestow a kiss after those sweet and lovely pledges of his mutual affection. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
