To THE pvraxrr

WILL briefly notice Mr. Goodies statement, in
II reply to my recent Address to tho Public. /
sheil add nothing on the subject Of my transfer Of
business to my son. MIR Garter and his counsel are
probably the only persons in the world who canno,
or WIN not see that such transfer, before any work
was done Tor the year covered by it, and before MIR
Carters Judgment was obtained, could not be af.
iected by the execution on that iudgment The
assertion that the transfer as SEQ, 6esseiy An
secret" appears now for the first time-is not al.
i1ded TO even IN the certificate OF Mr. Jones-and is
clearly The offspring of highly stimulated faculty
OF invention. will simply refer TO the statements
OF witnesses SAID TO be opposed TO mine, and which
Is said do not deem il adyisa bic To submit alone

what ne calls "a copy Of statement furnished Mr.

VINO would not infer from this, that had asked Mr.
Jones Tor statement, which Of his Otcn unpronpt-
Cd r,eonsehon he had made Tor me, and which
would not publish, because il was BILE AMI
that the paper he has published is a correct COPY of
that statement Yet "mark how plain tale shall
put him down." l did procure a statement written
10y one OF my counsel, after had conferred with MIR
Jones. and ascerained what he would state sub.
mitted 1t TO MIR Jones for him to sign on Saturday
the 23d ut. Mr. Jones substantially concurred In

ut MS instance, and IN some in his own hand I
sun hold the paper so corrected. Ii accords with
Mr. Robert Mayo's statement, already unfinished
ana win his (JoneS) admissions as stated bv M
Samuel II. Myers, (see Mr. Myers certificate Inc.

would prepare one, and send TO me ne VI mornin,

the admissions OF Mr. Jones as proved nv Mr. Nv

Mr. Myers proves Mr. Jones admitted TO lie true
Let them look at the statement ITSELF confrminy NIL

The words in italics, "besides that stated in Mr.
