y seventy dollars per week. and the dc
icieney is supplied by the s5mpsthizers
and drawn Out of bank by C.agctt, as In
I exigeneies Of the case demand. -
We simply wish TO say that the aboy,
is false in every single particular. Their
is not one word of truth in il from th,
beginning to the end, and that Their,
never has been one dollar deposited witt
us for any such purpose, by "Jones
Floyd or any other person.
Very Respectfully,
Fl. X. LOVE& CO.
III. K. Love 4 Co., deny in bitter
terms, our statement of yesterday in re-
gard to fund deposited with them for the
support of Clsgett's paper. The temper
III which the denial is made. indicates
something deeper than anything connec-
ted with a mere business transaction In
Bank.
N ow will Mr. II X. Love tell us why
he went around town with the traitor
Jones. and where the sympathizers met
Jones, and what were the results Of that
meeting. that the public may infer some
motive for the senomous style in which
he replies TO statement which in its
terms did not reflect Oh him in the slightest
degree.
That such fund has been raised, and
that Clagett is drawing upon it for def
ciencles to meet the expenses of his pap
er, we have the word of man who
knows, and upon whose statement VIC
place the utmost reliance. And from the
fact that Clagett was drawing OH H. K.
Love K Co, and from another fact con-
nected with the matter we inferred that
the fund was deposited with them
But even if the money had been put in
Bank by the hands Of Ciagett himself,
how does H. X, Love happen to know
that this was not the money to which We
He might know too much or
too little to justify his sweeping assertion
in the face of facts of which We are cogni-
zant.
Is H. f. Love so intimate with Jones
as 10 be certain that Clagett did not in
any indirect way receive fund of him TO
aid in carrying on ks press Docs IT
X. Love know positively that Jones
dear and noble friend" jeff Davis did
lot provide him with it2 Or would he
wear that the Vallandighammers at
Washington did not send it on at the in.
stance Of Jones, Floyd L Co.? Did MT /.
Il. X. Love spread himself "wide open
n his attempt to cover Clagett, jones, |
Floyd & Co?
Oar information is direct that such |
und was raised in some way, our in
ormation is not so positive as to the
place of deposit, nor is that material to
he purpose, as we had no design of i'm
H. X. Love Il Co, in the trans
'ctton IN any improper manner.
Jones, Floyd d Co., in our phraseology
denotes class of persons known in this
md other portions of the North, as SYM
'athisers. The Jonesocracy is another
ern Of somewhat widor import, and the
acknowledgements embrace still wider
ange. What we meant in our para graph
hen, as We think was generally under
TODD, was not that this or that individu-
i had made deposit Of a fund, but that
he svmpathizers, probably including
many others, following in their wake had
lone it.
Now that Clagett has been drawing on
owes Bank to pay the expenses OF the
Constitution, we know personally. And
'e can't exactly see how II. X. Love &
20, know that our statement is false in
very particular, or in the main purport,
Mess they know exactly where this
money came from on which Clagett drew.
And unless they know that no outside
lnd had been raised for the support of
'lagett's paper, for that was the main
oint of our statement after all. Do they
now either Of these things which they
ropose to cover with fiat denial. Do
hey know the original source from which
ne money was derived on which Clagett
rev, or do they know that no subscrip. :
on was taken up to support his paper.
they do not, then they have stated
lore than they know, and more than the
ruth.
