clement wings of legal professional gen
tleman-a gentleman whose leg abilities
stand unparalleled in the annals of Ameri-
can history star of the first magnitude,
infinitely superior to Clay or Webster.
His name is John c. Burch On Lud-
wigs application for this gentlemans le-
gal advice, he went to work and examined
all the books in his extensive Library, and
10 ! he made a most important discovery for
the dark age of the 10th Century-a dis
covery which he says can, upon the stipua-
tion Of any two parties, confer jurisdiction
on the l5th Judicial District Court of Trini-
ty County to sit and investigate case out
side the regular Term prescribed bytho Leg
islature. Happy and glorious discovery
Happy, proud John c. Burch, the lightnmgs
of literature yielded prolifcally to your le-
gal philosophic discovery. Dut what does
the law say in regard to this ? Why, it
says emphatically and explicitly, that the
stipulations of no parties can confer juris-
diction on Court to try cases outside the
regular term. Is this the amount of your
legal knowledge.
Would it not be we'll to ask who this Lud-
wig is, and what is his profession No.
public courtesy emphatically forbds a des-
cription of the profession of such degener-
ate piece of humanity And yet, under all
these circumstance, the late meeting under
the Presidency of the venerable VIM. G. Es-
tes, unanimously declare the trial in all its
relations to be impartial and strictly in con-
formity with law aud justice. l would ask
one or all of these very impartial gentlemen
who are so much interested in Ludwig's wei
fare, if their minds are not too much con
taminated by the foul breath Of prejudice,
to take walk to the place in dispute, and
cast an eye unbiased from any erroneous
consideration and l will venture to say that
their conclusion will be that all their meet
ings and resolves were farce, a wrong and
an insult to public .uStice-a wrong so in
famous in its character, that it will require
time and remuneration to obliterate from the
history of Trinity County. With regard to
the proposition relative to the stipulations
of having It finally determined, absolutely
deny. 1t was Ludwig & Co., that made
this proposition. They also assert that not
more than one-half the original Is members
of the Sidney Flat Flnming Co., retain their
interest. This is another public falschood.
There are only three Of our Company who
have sold out. And yet they marvel that
Mr.. Chadbourne instituted new suit. The
reason why, is because the whole proceedings
were illegal, null and void Who is Mr..
Chadbourne, and what is his offence in the
estimation of these vain demagogues. He
is gentleman, whose long, virtuous and le-
gal requirements, have made him dear to a
generous people. A gentleman who has
won laurels Of the first order, not only in
the Atlantic States but in California, and
established character which neither time

His offence is simply love of justice, not

Such is brief reply to the foul imputa
tions of Ludwig & Cos meeting, from

Your obcdient servant,

TThe above communication is reply to
the proceedings of meeting published in
last weeks paper. AS far as we are per-
sonally concerned we take no part with
either party in the matters in controversy
between them; but from the fact that those
resolutions were published last week, we feel
ourselves bound to publish the reply of the
other party. Having thus given both sides
an opportunity of expressing themselves
through our columns, we shall hereafter pos
