A. H. SANDERS, ESQ:
Dear Sir:-In rendering you my thanks Tor
the impartial and Just manner in which you
spoke OF the gross outrage committed upon
me, beg leave to be excused for not having
done SO socpers but thought it but fair in
regard TO yourself and me, to prove the ut
ter faisity Of the charge made agans, me by
q miserable sabJ.ctS spoken Of in the "En-
quirer" as respectable citizen !" before
would do so. J am speaking OF the charge,
uttered against me in the Enquirer os May
the 9th, which rerds as follows.
"This very Alr. Dietsch played Frnmfne ut
role in an ominOns seduction case in ST.
Louis, when he was obliged TO leave the
town, for fear Of being tarred and feathered."
In the meantime, that the charge made by
the same subject, "that had maltreated q
lady in Louisville" was effectually contra
dicted by an eyewitness 10 that affair, let
tiers were sent TO the German papers in St.
Louis, informing them oil the calumny heap
ed upon my life during my residence in that
place, (under enclosure OF the Enquirer OF
May 9th.) My letters to them were, as re-
quested, published in full in those papers, and
| take the liberty TO trespass once more upon
your kindness, by asking the publication, in
your valuable paper, Of the following remarks
upon this question, as made by the editors OF
those journals, for the purpose Of rendering
me justice sjn the eyes Of your readers, who
may by chance have read that vile attack in
the Enquirer.
The "Democratische Press,"" Of May 18th
says: .,..:.
"Itis quite unnecessary 10 say, here in 81,
Louis, that the opponents of Mr.. Dictsch, in
their ''literary" controversy, took to method
which brands them as base liars aud calum-
niators.''
The "Anzeiger des WestensS' second te
one only in number OF circulation, and ex
ercising the most influence of any German
paIer in the Western States, published BY
Mr.. H. Boernstein, says:
awe deem il cur duty to declare hereby
openly, that the above, in the Enquirer
and in his German booiblack, the notorious
Rohncr's Volksbote. contained charges
against Mr.. Dietsch, are base lies and calum
mites. AID IRE pronounced as such by every
} person who has known Dir. Dietsch here il
ST. Louis"
AS a farther proof of the utter falsity o
the charge against me, Dir. Boernstcin ha'
offered me, without my wish or solicitation
the Agency of the "Anzsigcr des Westerns
for Evansville and vicinity, in place of Mr.
Jacob Born, no was h agent until now
and in this manner is designated as the au
thor o. that much mean as cowardly charge
in the Enquirer.
would remark here, that ] have at NJ
time been in intimate or even friendly re'a
ton with any OF the editors vi these paper
but to the contrary, had many bitter con
troversy with Mr. Boernstein during my edi
, ,orship of the st Louis Tribune.
The respective numbers OF these st. Louis
papers can be looked at in tho Reform Of
fee" and inasmuch as the editor of thu
Enquirer can read German, lie had brtte
I call and convince hinscl. OF the correctness
Of these translntions. especially il he wishe
to free himself Of the suspicion resting upOl
him, that he rilinS,y and parposeiy offer
, his paper, the Enquirer" ms u vessel where
in any person may deposit aud send forth th'
most rile cafumnities upon the p ivate YES o
/. men who may happen to be his political op
| pcnents.
, leave il 10 the editor OF the Enquirer u
pursue such course, in This affair, as hi
honor as man may dictate to him.
Respectfully,
THEODORE DIETSCH,
Editor of "Rei,rn.
