Let Mr.. STEWART name one person and Will Dc.
SIgnate another-the TWO selecting third; and lei
these take the books of the late ALEXANDER l..
STEWART and the accounts furnished me from those
books hy Nr. STEWART and his brother and caused
10 be made there from regular debtor and creditor, :
account from the day OF the transfer OF the Nloruins
Courier 10 IN 1897 this date, charging with
seven per cent. interest on all advances, and credit
ing me with the same rate OF interest. Exclude
from this amount compound interest, the $3.50 due
by SKILLMAN. and the advances made for HIM and
Tor the support OF his family, but charged to me- and
If there be not balance due Ue, will admit that
am in error. Nay, more; letthe balance against me
if any, be charged to Mrs WEBB; and then, lei the
one sixth part Of her fathers estate less such bal
auce be- settled upon her and her children and nay
opposition will iniquitously obtained, 'e at
0a,ce cease.
This proposition covers the whole ground; L
proposes simply strip these accounts OF the COM
pound interest which makes me n debtor instead OF
4 creditor: and if as Mr.. STEWART alleges, have
ton of all equity and Justice, the proposition Is 50
much the more favorable to him. HIS FATHER ;
Books SHALL DECIDE BETWEEN US: and II ne
Shrinhs from accepting this proposition, let h,,n NOT
venture 10 Shew his face among honorable men, or
pretend that he has any other honesty TO boast Oh
than that which prompts him 10 withhold from his
orphan sisters the inheritance of their deceased mo-
Their, which according TO his own admissions was
bequeathed TO HIM by his uncle III trust Tor their
benefit. The time has been when the public would
brand such conduct with the epithets of fraud and
S'rtndttnS; but as these terms would be too harsh
10 be used towards who boasts OF his affection
or his sisters, and his being worth twenty thousand
dollars per annum AZ the same time that he refuses
10 disgorge estate of which he has upright
eously and dshonorably possessed himself, perhaps
his refusal 10 accept nay proposition will only be
considered practical illustration OF the doctrine OF
reputation applied TO honor and honesty, instead
of dollars and cents.
