without drawing iic attention OF the latter tome pro"

y as il Is stated that Elliott advised 10 proceed TO

The third isrepr, senlation Mr.. Rives establishes,
lies between himself and the Globe. MI Rives says
"Nr Blair, my partner, reached 81. Louis about
| two days before my brother n-law [another sngu-
lar coincidence !; and the latter hearing The former
was there, called on him and introduced himself
! Very surprising iyiced.l MIR Blair had deed OF
trust on between nihe and ten thousand acres Of land,
lying in Phillips and ST. Francis counties, IN Arkan-
sas which he intended TO take there himself TO get II
recorded in both counties; aud learning from my
broiher-ln-law that he was out OF employment ana
wished 10 the country Mr.. Blair got him 10 take
| the deed Of trust to Arkansas" &c.
| Now who can believe that MIR. Blair not con-
suited here by Lynde Elliott about The establishment
of the Standard Rives states that Elliott came mere
/ to get into the Standard es' ablishment- That was
the object Of his yst--yet it is dicuously pretend
ed by the Globe TINT no communication or consuita-
lion had ever taken place between its editor and FL
/ lott, in reference TO the Standard newspaper! Inc
statement of Mr. Rives sufficiently reiutes the edito-
rial assertion Of the Globe on this point.
The fourth tur pas is one which the published note
of IT, editor Of the Madisonian fasicns Mr.. Rves.
In st. Louis, he says, Lynde Elliott introduced him
self to r. Z. Blair Esq thus implying that they
were strangers 10 each other--dtsr strangers ). ID.
jones' Esq, Of the Madisonan, tells Mi. Rives that
the history Of his brothcrin-law is misplaced in the
letter Icommunic alton unless il can be denied that
he edited Wing paper in Maryland before he re-
turned to Washington sc. 1t would thus seem that
Lynde, Ike bad penny has circulated free'y--lsed
almost everywhere--in Maryland, Indiana, Ohio and
| according to his own admission, in Washington &c
land who believe that he, Ga brother-in-law OF
Mr. Rives could have remained considerable time
in Washington, and "feimned' there without making
as printer il nothing else the acquaintance of the
partner of his brother-in-law, Dir Blair
The filth alsehood pinned TO Elliott by the state
ment of MIR. Rves, that Elliott came from Ohio to
ST. Louis. L. made the impression that he came from
Indiana probably with view TO cover up his tracks
IN Dayton.
Notwithstanding the loose ard improper mannerin
which MIR. Rives has referred ourself, we must
applaud him for the consciousness he has display
ed in refusing to contradict the charge that LyDde
Elliott heretofore published Wing paper, though
informed by the editor OF the hladsonian that 1t was
important TO clear up that charge. The refusal OF
Mr.. Rives TO exonerae Elliott, as to his Whggery
is a tact confession OF his guilt Thus the sixth
falsehood Is demons trated.
But how does the assertion of the Globe that
there was no correspondence or consultation win FL
lott on the part of the Globe concern, accord 18th
the extract OF letter from Mr.. RIyes, published in
the Standard, (without date,) which, from its tenor
have been written s nearly a SesH a6a ans eH
-. r ~sa If no difficulty was apPrehsnded
with the Reporter, why was letter written so long
ago, T. make the impression that Blair and Hives
had become our ball. and we had failed to pay the
debit This circumstance proves that Mr.. Rives
narrative, 10 the very recent determination OF the
parties concerned 10 establish branch # the Globe
ia ST. Louis, is untrue. We thus show that
poBdence did take place. This is the seventh false
hood. 1t is also clear that the determination TO
lablish branch Of the Globe here was long since
formed and not within the last two or three months
and this may be considered the eighth misrepre-
scntation.
why so much prevarication, contradiction. and
falsehood, if the tbec TO be accomplished is not dis
credtablei
But Mr.. Riyes makes the following statement in
relation to us
Several years ago, shadrsch Penn came TO this
city TO attend to his blanks and Irvine" contract
" hist be was here he was sued on a promissory
note for thousand dollars, and Mr. Blair, my
partner, went has appearance bail
This statement contain. two falseboods, connected
with fact which contradics the extract Of letter
r.. n,x.a uls.I IN 4 lie, lard Mr.
Rives dsproves the assertion that Blair Rives
bail, by stating that it was Mr.. Blair This
is the ninth fasehood shown.
. The tenth fslsebood, is The assertion that
, sued at Washington promssory note. The
aieren,h L., mat the amount was smear q thousand
dollars" We were sued on open account, hich
was partly paid and partly unjust and the
sb32 80, costs sl3 ~. These facts will appear by
reference to the record and the papers in the case
, IN the clerks office, Washington.
;, MIR. kyes publishes receipt OF the Marshal
dated Feb is, lsIl showing that the amount paid
on account was 1857 L.
Mr.. Rives alleges that We only paid $3.50 in two
notes TO meet 1887 IL. This is untrue. Mr. Lou h-
I, borough made the calculation for Mr. Blair and we
provided for The amount he demanded There was
an account against the Globe, but recoliect
J one item in tan order Penn, or Penn & Elliot,
for $50, 10 pay for printing pamphlet in Louisville
for gentleman in Washington. We again affirm
that the $3.50 referred 10 IN the receipt heretofore
published intended TO cover principal aud inter-
est OF the whole claim, Gown to the periods which
the paper given would fall due, and that tie calcu-
latioos were made by Mr.. .Loughborough, and wo
doubt not correctly
The assertion that Buck and Elliott insol~rot is
ridiculous. The former Is now worth ii we are n 1
deceived at least one hundred thousand dollars -
But u Mr. Rives anxious TO " trade off the paper
10 which he refers, Mr.. Buck may accommodate him
by shaving IT as deeply as can be desired
THIS transaction, however, would never have met
the public eye, but for the disposition infused INTO
the mInds OF the proprie'ors Of the Globe TO make
war upon us-snd we have conclysively shown that
they have, for nearly year. been preparing for the
onset. IL they do not become both Tired and assam
ed Of it, we shall be deceived
