This, and your barefaced hypocrisy, deserves 10

That prosecution against me. desired TO be
srraignedi BAH who can believe such stui?-
I did desire Of you NOT to make a witness Of me
against a person had TO chasiise foT his assault
on me. and referred you to disinterested witness
es. But the next knew Of the matter vas a
notice to appear and answer to charges against
me. You did not conduct or prosecute on the
merits Of the charges, but commenced villiiying
me on account Of my avocation, before the jury,
in such a manner as none but 4 ccwardly knave
would be guilty Of Showing then, as well as
more recently in ycur last that il is nothing more
or less than pure unadulterated malice, thst
caused me TO be arraigned, fer you have admit
ted yun did not consider me guilty, except in
selling the liquor. Now, be 1t known that for
no. selling him liquor, was the cause OF the dis
tnrbance, and the sole cause, could be certified
to. but you would say you did not charge NE with
selling il only, "perhaps." But you did Il in a
pldufu! manner! Well, it might have been
good joke, but you carried the joke TOO Tar. and
Mr.. Richardson does not seem willing TO help
you out Of the scrape.
A wurd about altering Mr.. Reeds certificate.
Only one word was altered, and that IN his pres
ence. and before witnesses, as he only objected
to that on accnunt Of It's harshness he ailescC
and the document will show for itself. prrrn-
ised Reed short time after, would not publish
il till he had saw Mr.. Henderson. This promise
l kept. After be saw Mr.. H., he presented me
with one drawn by that gentleman, which took
exceptions to ON account OF IFS bringing in Mr..
Luce'S name-not because il sustained Diapers
position. as stated by GU, and which eau prove,
II necessity demanded proof. He R.,t did not
sfsn the one presented. He shortly AFTER len,
not saying il did not give fair statement, but
that il was too harsh. Nor did he bind me at that
time under any promise not TO publish, and as a
matter of course if published any, it would be
the one with his signature. II is immaierial,
however. which of them you stick 10, none Of
them exonerates you from the charge which
clings TO you like the leprosy Of Naman.
As TO hawking and altering that one signed by
Messrs. Henderson and Conder. is false, as il
will show on IFS face all the interineations, save
the word "aitempi," was done BY sir. H. himself
before signing. That asked any others TO sign
NAV. may have shown another to one or more
individuals, but its OF different character.
Now, those gambling scrapes. Pass them
over to that great stump orator of yours that you
started out with in the beginning Of this contro-
versy. He shall have the credit-he is the daddy

much for your euteness. He lodged the ques-

Now il well becomes you to rail out against
INV admi inistration as being extravagant, and
squandering the funds. The history is not yet
forgotten Of yours and Gordon's gerrymarder-
ing on Georgia and Carolina streets, and on the
leSee, where one week you would excayate, and
the next fill up in the same place, and thus by
your log-rolling policy squandered the revenue.
