Captain Dexter and the Princeton
Papers.
Some days ago the Princeton papers con
of the Charley Roos,l, doing that gentleman
gross injustice We have delayed, hereto
fore, making any reply to that attack, as
we desired first 10 make ourselves fully
quainted with the facts in the case 1t
seeaIs that Mr.. Mauzey, wife, and four
children, took passage, at this city, on board
the Inflated StiVer Star on her last trip. His
furniture Che was muying) was also placed
on the same boat. Ii further appears that
Mr.. Nancy lost all OF his furniture, and
barely escaped with his own life, by tue
burning OF that steamer. His wife and
children were also saved. Immediately after
the accident Capt. Dexter did all lie could
for the sufferers, and offered to carry all,
who desired to 90, 10 l'uducah, free of
charge.
On the return of the Bo,epa, Mr. Nancy,
W hO in the meantime, it seems, had remain
his family, desiring to return To Evansville
He asked the clerk, Mr.. Markell, What Was
the fare, which that gentlemen told him.
Mr.. Markell is positive that MIR. Nancy did
not say he was out Of money, bHt on The
- contrary informed him that lie (Mauzty)
had not paid his passage on the Sur at tho
time of the accident; ana after paying his
passage on the BOiCea had IS left, which
Mr.. Markell handed back to him, keeping.
only five dollars for the passage of Nancy
his wife and four children from C',rsew to
Evansville. Capt Markell further states
that Nancy expressed no Dissatisfaction at
being charged foT his passage at the time,
aud he was totally unaware that any III
feeling existed on the part of that gentle
faan until be saw his card IN the Princeton
papers and the comments of the editors
thereon.
Capt. Dexter, after doing ali in his power
to aid the sufferers by that accident, thinks
the charges made by the Princeton papers
do him injustice and should be retractel
Had Mr.. Mauzey told him he was ia desti-
tute circumstances, lie would have brought
that gentleman with his family to Evans
vile free OF charge.
Capt. Dexter makes his living out Of the
proceeds of his boat aud We cannot see WHY
Mr. Mauzey should remain at Cnrlew untIl
Dexters boat had gone TO CstiEo and return
ed, instead Of taking passage On the first 5s4t
that passed up after the accident especially
as Mr. Nancy eptertaacd The opinion that
the B0lCsn was racing boat aud was ihdi-
recrly the cause OF the accident on the 5Ao.
Neither can We see how Capt Dexter Is
under especial obIigatioa 10 carry passen.
gers up the river fee OF charge simply be
cause they were 30 unfortunate as 10 have
met with a. accident Oh some other boat al
any TINE during The year.
We have known Capt. Dexter tor sul-s
time, and we know him 10 Le ii kind hearted
man, and as prompt any Que TO gelisye
suffering when his aid Is required. Il is
only among those who ale 0Q4rqnniAtea

Princeton papers viii do Ai4l amy injury.
