Nh EntFoa:-Tn The RPtJheen Of this
week, j. M. Estcp underlakesbto reply to
the s.atenientoi facts pubiishedby us Ue
says; -
"Ii they had Confined themselves to a

theyrdo not attempt to sustain. But they
attempt TO make false impression, by mis-
what did say, and iys giving
.incorreet c9pies:of certain papers.' R..
Wedtny that we at any time reported
anything in this matter differing lronl our
published statements, and MIR. Estep. shall
not dodge the issue OF vcracity which he
has chosen 10 make with US, by conjuring up
some report in lis own Imagination, and
then knockiug down his man of straw.
ta~ What statement made by us as "'acts"
does Mr.. Es'ep attempt to dispnle2a . iie
does not deny that he hs nded to Mr.. Moore
the discharge a copy Of which apEearedsin
our statement OF "iacls") He does not de.
ny that he demanded five dollars iorit. He
does not deny aay statement we made, as to
what He said At Camp, but tries 70 evade it
by saying, "fhey attempt to make ial2e
impression by tnisrepresenting what did
say" Why did not Mr., Il, inform US where's
in ne had been nisrepresented?
Mr. Estep charges US with giving incorrect
copies Of certain papers We gave exact
COZ les Of the certificates Of discharge, jus, as
they were delivered to us by Mr. Estep and
Mr.. Arnold, and We challenge him to point
out the addition OF omission Of single word.
Mr.. Il. we'll knew when heimado this charge
that it was wholly un rue, But he stys;
clad the copies given been correct they
would have fully proved that they were
the discharges of John r. Baird, Colonel
Commanding Post. :" There were no such
words on tie certificates when delivered to
u.s. when We attempted TO pass out OF Camp,
we were then informed that the certificates
| for which Eslcp and Arnold had asked "o ly
So apiece were worthless. and then we
1b,ained the indor>ement OF Col. Baird, but
t%is was 40 part OF the certificate is ued by
Mr.. Eaep, and il We had copied this. he
7 nigh, weil, as he donbless would, have de-
MED that we had given correct copes;" and
| further be says: -..,--s5... .ss
| ''But really said nothing about MIR. Ar
lnola's 'authority;'" and then quotes rom
his former Statement the following sentence
r in regard to Mr.. Arnold ale e'was neither
employed by the Govr rnipent nor by me-"
andreasopiog from the premises, he appears
toarrive at,he logical conclusion, that one
istatement, which conuadicts another, clear
Iy establishes the truth Of both. Again Mr.
i Esays: ,o- s.a.ts AZ .....is. s.,gss
''Some of these gentlemen seem 10 suppose
D that in addition TO giving my own labor and
! services for nothing, and paying my own ex
8 penses, should also have employed Mr.. Ar
mold to prepare substitute papers for them
We will in 'orn Mr. Estep, ,that"some Of these
gentlemen 'sdid not suppose any such, thing
ncithef did no, or Mr.. Arnold prepare any
). substitute papers for us, nor did we ask then
j topiepare any, Why then is hescontinpal,
Irepeating his pretense Of rpreparing subst
= Va papers" Is it to try to make the public
, Believe that he performed scme great seryi
eos for US, and for which we weIe SO ungen
eropsas to refuse to pay him. an p
n Finally, we would nodestly suggest to Mr.
! Estep, that when he endeavors 10 convinc,
The public that the drafted men Of tlarr isor

task beyond his capacity 10 perform. las.
