We ut0 not lHiCdu 20 say ono WOlu
about he not case tried at last court, be.
youd simple statement among the court
proceedings; but the false and malicious
publication made concerning it, in the Re-
pubi,con, by DIR. John, calls for denial
and correction.
The DR.. sets out by excusing himself
for not publishing the testimony, because
he says, cit would infringe too III ch upon
our space" The true reason is, that it
would prove that the verdict Of the Jury,
was most righteous finding. The Dr.
dare not publish the testimony, and he
feels that he dare not
The D.. says sit was shewn that he
Ey-r) conImsnccd an assault on an in
valid returned soldier by calling him de-
serter" - while the t'lth wal, aud 80 prov.
ed, that the Dr's. "iuvald soldier began
the dispute by calling Eyer "agray head
ed coward THAT he talked like an old
skunk"-and "was secessionist" t"-wherc.
4 upon Eyer threatened to knock him down
il he repeated the last epithet.
1t was proved that Beckley called for
"a rope"-yet DR., John says, "Beckley
interiered only 10 protect the sick sol
dicr." 1t was proved that Brown called
fer "a rope to hang him. (Eycr) aud
called him, Eyer a secessionist; but the
DR. omits the first matter. 1t was proved
that Cup was in the crowd, and said "Ey e.
or was n sccession,t, and the time had
come VIII Ell the Democrats were not TO be
permitted 10 say what they pleased" And
'ase and McCarty were proven to have
becn even more busy and prominent. That
Case beaded the crowd around the alley,
and McCsrty was among the first to call
for "a rope"
Dr. John says that Eyer "dsclared that
the men who went from here to fight ought
10 be shot )" while this same DR.. John
swore on the witness stand in this case
that Eyer had said "i suppose then you
(Drnker) are deserter, aid ought to be
shot, as the rest uho Went 10 .f9M tor M'
niggas."
We leave DR.. John, the Editor, to set
tie the question of truth and veracity will
