with the Times Office, still continue
their thunder on our heads about a lit
tie printing we done for the County
We have sometimes thought, that it
would have been better had we never
existed, rather than nave had this
controversy with these "unleashed
ours" who have been following us like
Cuba blood hounds, although one of
them is a Beef hound. 1t is unfortu-
nate, but the Wolf is on their track"
hey have proven themselves meddle-
some creatures about other peoples bu-
~siness, and if we have " gracefully re-
tired" there are but few in this commu-
nifty who believes the Editor can do as
much. But we have not retired. The
Editor still insists that we have a bill
of 5000 against the County, although
he says he docs not know EXACTLY"
and asks us to tell him. The Editor
must excuse US from attempting to i'm
part any information to a person whom
we are compelled to chastise like an
Ass for his stubbornnes,. Any person
who wishes to know exactly what our
account is, can see it by calling at our
office. We told the Editor met how
m UGH it was, but like MAcAULEY, he
mistakes his own peculiar ideas for
truth. Whatever reputation he has
won by his guerrilla attack on US, we
are willing he should have all the glory,
especially as his statements are made at
the expense of truth, and requires the
" eloqueuee of the barrister," to give
them the appearance of plausibility-
We have never denied printing blanks
for the Clerks Office. We do deny
however, that we printed 16, 90, or IL
quires of any kind of blanks. 1t is a
falsehood, we care not who asserts it.
Poor, impotent creature, when he
is compelled to make up his case by
falsehood. Here is just what We did
print of the articles named in the Times.
We take this trouble in order that the
present Clerk, who seems to be entering
the ring sideways, may know how far
his statements are at variance from
truth:
4 qrs. Writs Replevin. This we &C.
knowledge.
qrs Bonds in Attachment. The
present Clerk has it as follows:
About 1s or 20 quire (e50) Bonds il
Attachmsnt-but few used, possibly IL
to Is in a year would last for "a years
10 qrs Oorders of Attachment. Ths
statement is as follows:
About IL quire (528) Orders of At
tachment-about the same quantity
would be.used as of the bonds; would
last As years.
We are willing to leave it to the
Sheriff whether there has not been al
least 40 suits in Attachment commenced
during the past year.
5qrs Appeal Bonds instead of 7 qrs
5 qrs. Executions for costs only. Thu
present Clerk says about so per year
We pledge ourself TO have more thar
this number used at one time during The
present year.
The following is a rich statement:
About 3 quire (144) Certificates o
Election-these are seldom or never
used-neyer has been certificate of thii
kind used since the organization of thu
County, consequently would be enough
to last the balance of the 18th century
Don't use them to certify every Jus
tice of the Peace, elected in the County
to the Secretary of State? Don't us
them to certify every County officer, a
elected, to the Secretary of State P
Then again, the Secretary of Stat
requires the certificate to be made in tn
exact form of the blanks we printed
In regard to the length of time these
blanks will last, some of the statement!
are wholly gratuitous. Because som
blanks were not used a few years age
: therefore they are of no use now i
Smart men, indeed.
Hereafter charge US with whatever
you please, we will feel glad if we ar
per mitted to live amongst the Hessi
ans.
