The Duplicity of Sag NIGHTS.


The Sag NIGHT editors at Louisville appear
to be lying just as hard as ever, though not
quite so fully, about things in connection with
the Louisville riots They have not yet brought
forward particle of reliable evidence to dis
prove the affiidavits published by the journal,
but have thus far been asking suspension of
opinion on lying promise that they will have
the evidence after while. The Journal thus
scorches some of these fellows:
The Sag NIGHT papers here have certainly
gone quite far enough with their assertions as
to the riots of 9th ult. Their assertions are
downright falsehoods, proved to be so by album
dant testimony, testimony as overwhelming
as ever was given in or out of court OF JUS
tice.
When the Sag NIGHT editors saw the power
fill and irresistible mass of affidavits brought
against them, they faltered, and recoiled they
shrunk back appalled,, they were almost struck
dumb, but, knowing that their all was at stake,
they called aloud for suspension Of public opiIl-
ion until then should hare time to prepare a .fuU
and authentic history l0L.ict they said toas an
rapid progress and aCoasld soon be out. Day after
day, as they found themselves beset by new
and crushing evidence, their incessant cry was,
trait for oar authenticated history aoiacb mil
very shortly be before the acOrld. Even within
the last few days, although the Sag Nicht pa
pers have ceased the cry, individual Sag NIGHTS
about the streets, when hard pressed by their
opponents, have said that the authenticated has
tory aooaM set everything right. But no anthem
ticated history has been prepared; the Sag
Nieht leaders, by trying the experiment
thoroughly, have found that they cannot pre-
. pare one which they agouh dare TO publish. The
authenticated history so much talked of is a
humbug hoax nonentity and yet the edi-
tors who have so often promised it, are not
now ashamed to ignore both it and their prom
ises altogether and to repeat their base and in
famous lies in regard to the riots as confidently
as if their assertions were sustained by a
thousand authenticated histories.
The Sag Nieht papes are getting worse and
worse in their horrible lies as to the Louisville
!, riots. Having been compelled to abandon their
project Of an authenticated history, having ut
terly failed in all their efforts to obtain testi-
mony to prove what they said they think now
to supply the desideratum by the increased
boldness and atrocity and wild fury of theil
lies.
BELIGERENT-Mr Dick, of the Vincennes
J Post Office, was in the last communications We
7 saw from his pen rather disposed to prOlixity
: but in the following communication in the
! Vincennesl Gazette of yesterday, he is brie
a en- ough and emphatic enough to please any
. taste:
n NoTIcE.-fn the News of the Day. of yes
5 terday, a speech is put into my mouth which
e was never uttered by me. therefore ask as
: favor that in your paper you state that if sale
|, j. M. Edwards reported it, he is q iari If thu
g editor manufactured it, he IS liar! And, as
l. prefer an issue, and few words, these men know
e that it is but few steps to the Post Office b.
= themselves or friends.
