per. Yours truly,
S.B. SHOTWELL.
RICHARD HATToN, ,--SIR.--I see by
your worthless paper" Of this week
YOU devote three and half columns to
your ''LIBELs" on me. You say my
first reply ''reads more like it had
emanated from the supcrintendst of
some city Brothel than from mem,
Der of the Bar" l had understood
before that YOU had some familiarity
with SUCH PLACES and of course You
KNOW Just how such "emanations"
read. Men of experience like your
self ought to be pretty good judges in
such matters, anil the only doubt is as
to your veracity. Well, Dick, that
WAS pretty hard place at which you
stopped about last June. But pray
tell us, for what was it you traded
your COAT on that occasion? la! ha!
ha. Dick, you are "a bird Of a feather"
But let US see how it is as to your
articles. How often do you call me a
"iiar?" How often sly, II an the
lnoanest man in the county, DIRTY
Dog" and all such silly twaddle with
out producing any evidence of any
thing. Yes, you are even going to
get ''littlc children to talk so." / have
no doubt you will educate and instruct
yours to do so, and your associates"
may do likewise. l have shown the
reason for this. But honest men think
and. talk differently. Your article
was not as I suppose produced in a
Brothel, but in room where / under
stand you practice (for amusement, of
course, the CLOCK STEP" 1t is said
you performed we'll on that occasion.
This is all right. This practice may
be useful to you hereafter. But you
say | told "Mafitt you were trying to
cheat him out of the ten dollars. -
Why I TOLD you this in my first reply
1 now admit it again. Are you salts
fed? That you intended to do so, nj
man can hare any doubt who has read
your two articles. But this is no
what sits so badly on your stomach
It is the being caught in the attempt
and compelled to do justice out of the
fear of the law. That troubles you,
and makes you tell all manner of lie;
on the attorney Iawyer Shotwell if
you please who made you do it. Thi:
is just the way rascals and cheats al
Ways feel, act and talk under like Cir
cumstances. So I was "the right mai
IN the right place" on THAT OCCASION
This disposes of one column and a
half of your article. Now for youl
frauds on the county Treasury. That's
what I am after.
The following is statement of what
you have drawn from the County
Treasury for the fiscal year ending 1st
Sept. 1863, which the few persons in
the county who still continue to take
your worthless paper can verify by
