JAMES WATSON WEBB.
January 22j, 1885,
We do not wish to publish Mr.. Hamilton Wilkes
whitening and searching response TO this cartel our
purpose is merely to show how the gallant Colonel
ran muck on this occasion-firs against Mr. Lyncn,
who had suffered by him 10 the tune OF sl2,oOo and
upwards next against me- who had endeavored 10
smooth the matter over by giving the best coiorng
the business, lending our personal testimony 10 ms
character, and pointing out by whom, ana now, ne
had been msled and then against Mr.. Hamilton
Wilkes who could not remember what mad never
occurred and whose philosophy ofhonor was ground
ed upon telling the truth, the whoe,ruth ana nothing
but the truth.
By the extract from the Courier Of Tuesday, first
above quoted, the magnanlmous Colonel has admit
ted tina, we were right; tina, Nr. Lynch had justice on
his sides and consequently, that his attack on Mr..
Wilkes was uniusufabe, arrogant, gross, and petu-
LIANT He has apologised to Mr. Lynch, it's true; but
he has vet TO sit upon the stool of repentance and
make the amend TO Others with cries Of sorrow, and
confessions of med culpa, m,sd marimd cu'pd He
must ADM, that was correct IN the course TOOK
he has virtually done already, but II must be done
irso facio: and Mr. Hamilton Wilkes has right TO
insist upon similar acknowledgment, and apology.
The course by which Mr. Lynch has enforced this
tardy Justice has been by action atlaw; he proves
his claim natures every thing ripe for verdict mas
MS array of witnesses at hand TO establish the contro-
verted facts, hand writing, &C.. and then-our
euondam friend and associate makes virtue Of ne
cessitv eats his words withdraws his former asser-
tons begs pardon and sets himself before the public
rtctus in curia. But as we said before, there are
other parties 10 the cause public order and tranquil
" have been violated the peace has been broken and
there are sus still pending for these high handed pro-
ceedngs. therefore give notice to those whom II
may concern, and to the principal party Interested
that il full and satisfactory amende be not forthwith
made, | shall proceed TO Judgment, and have my
wrathfu and oblivous pupil properly punished for the
offences he has perpeuated against the laws beth
public private, moral and social.
Iregret 10 think that he has fallen into worse hands
than ever-he is now surrounded by knot of vipers
who will sting him DEATH after draining him of his
LIES blood. One of them is a trustee of the Courier
q. Enquirer and having wrigged into that capacity,
will not stop there. The very fact of the Courers
owing $780, 600 its paper maker, and its being redu
ced TO daily publication of 4, 100, and weekly cir
culaon of 300 is a sufficient proof Of the msman-
agement OF the concern and that the gallant Colonel
is as blind to his interest he whan he bull
lied Messrs. Lynch end Wilkes, and played the other
on,cS oliuded IN ahove
