What did j. B. Howell inssnd 10 con-
| vsy TO the minds Of bis readers By the
word sseontssses''s II 10 evident that
be intended 10 make thsm believe that
Judge Mason acknowledged that We were
dafaultsr to thai amount, and in that
he psrpssrated another falashoOd- told
another lie.
Judge Mason does not confess that We
sre detaultsr in any sum. Here Is
what be says upon thai point in ths let
ter that Howell Esfsra 10 in his nbellous
article:
'sTo my own certain knowledge Col.
Babbitt proposed TO the government to
permit the question to 20 before the
courts, proEezing to give abundant se-
| eurity that he would pay over the money
| at once il the decision should 20 against
him. He esYtaiaiy caaHot be regarded
as O dsfdatlsg in country whore the
citizen has rights which can be enforced
even in opposition to Ahs opinion of the
government
Was the lie ever mere clearly proven
upon any one than it ia IN shis case upon
], B. Howell, and that, too, BY the very
letter that he quotes as his authority for
| making the EEaGAmanE ~..-
This is Lac No. 2 proven upon the pro.
fssssG Christian but notorious hypocrits
and liar, ]. B. Howell.
Shine Thousand Dollars"
The above quotation from the caption
Of Ho#elPs article wa brand as Lie No.
3 Judge Mason, as will bs seen in the
extract from his letter given above, says
she (Babbist,) certainly cauuot be re-
gardsd as defaultsR," SC. Now, if We
are not q defaulter, and Judge Mason
says re are not, did not J. B. Howell
lse-kHoesiasIy LIB, when be wrote The
caption ''Babbist's Lawyer Confessea to
Nine thousand Dollars" intending to
convey the idea by thas caption that
judge Mason was our lawyer and that
be admitted that vs. were q defaulteE in
the sum Of nine thousand dollars ? Does
not the very letter which he quotes as
authority give The lie to every word in
the caption Co she article written by ].
B. Howell7 Is he not guilty Of telling
three lies 10 ttoo iaes7
Not only is j. B. Howell guilty OF Iy-
ing in this instance but the editors Of
the Hasok-sys, Iowa Citizen, Council
Bluffs HonparsiI, and several other
Black Republican papers, are guilty Of
the sans crime, and in the sanae case,
By Publishing Howeil's article with the
lying caption, aud al the sasas tiae hav-
ing Judge Mason's letter in their pcs
session, which declared that be (Mason)
was the attorney Of the United States,
and that We could net be regards as q
def&ulteg.
Verify, politics makes very great sin
neEs and very bad nan, Of men who in
the ordinary walks Of life srs regarded
IS tolerable good msu and pFofssssd
Christians.
The editor Of the VintOn Eagle, so far
as We are nov informed, may be regard
cd as an exception among his Black Re-
publican brethren.
