County Treasurer Again.

In our issue of the 9th of last month we referre,
to the partiality of the county Treasurer In do
ing so We touched some members of the clique in /,
tender spot, evidently, as they have been writing
and twisting Pitifuyon account of the statement
We made. We want no better evidence of III,
truthfulness of our presumptIons we made also
than the effect it has had upon these "tax eaters,
wire workers and tricky politicians of this coun
ty In the article above referred to accused
the Treasurer of partiaity and we are still of the
opinion. or in fact we know that he did use par
TALLY with tie tax PAYERS; taking non tax-payins
money from some and refusing to take it from
others. VIII the editor of the Republican, who is
the apOlogist for all the unlawful acts and miserable
plumbers of the "honest and competent officials
of Marshall county, deny that this statement
of ours is true2 He dare not do it. We are pre-
pared to prove it, In charging the Treasurer with
partiahty, we did him no injustice as we are pre-
pared to show. Toward the close of first arti-
Gle on this subject We made some suggestions
founded on evidence that had in our possess
ion, which hurt the clique, worse than all the bal.
lance of the article, Judging from the manner in
which old Ignoramus bowls over them. We did
not state them facts but as possibilities, nofwith-
standing. was fully convinced in our mind that
they were facts. The editor of the Republican
will not quote our language this point but pre-.
fers quibbling and whining over it. Knowing
that we did not do Mr.. Oglesbee any injustice,
ana not feeling the least inclined to take it back,
we re-publish the portion that worries them so,
and which the cold gentlemen wants US to take
back. Here it is:
To accommodate his particular friends he took
uncurrent ax-paying funds at par; but when an
honest farmer came In who was not acquainted with
the ropes and who was unsuspecting he had to pay
the per cent. charged by the accommodating
Treasurer. II is thought that he and his partic.
uiar friends between whom there evidently
an understanding, made paving thing of it,
In the extensive business that his particular friends
were doing, he must have saved them of probably
hundreds of dollars, and shaved his country friends
To probably greater extent, as there were many
OF them who were not 50 fortunate to get their
money from source where it was accompanied
by those magic letters.
We repeat he did ali this and for the purpose
OF accommodating his particular friends We
have the very best of reasons for saying that: 1T
is thought that he and his particular friends, be-
tween HON there evidently an understanding,
made Il "paying thing of it, We are prepared to
prove, also,' that a man, connected with tie firm,
in first article alluded TO, said that Oglesbee
had saved them over one hundred dollars bv the
magic tax paying operation He is an individual
that knows oil about the matter, too This is
what the Thought" was founded upon and also
the presumption that he had saved them of "prob-
ably hundreds of dollars
We obtained the above information from a
source that was not Intended for publicity, but if
the gentlemen of the clique insist upon it they can
have 1t or a part Off, At least. We never make
assertions or even suggestions without having
proof of What We say. The only reason that we
have not before given the evidence We have that
our suPpositiOn well founded, is that some of
our friends did desire to have any bad feeling
gotten up between themselves and some of those
concerned in the matter. AS the case now stands
they can count us in. have the proof that the
accommodating Treasurer did, by taking IN
current tax-paying money, accommodate some OF
his particular friends to the amount of GOV err one
hundred dollars they then understood it and
one OF them SO expressed himself.
