tangible thing LEFT Of the tribe OF XIII
kenney cats, who lent their aid 10 deffaut
. the soldiers out Of the contributions made
at tho Republic Sanitary Fair, | will iurr
my attention to your case for few mo
ments, and in doing so ! will quote IRON
your Shiny document NJ follows: LAS
and least il the tail Of the kite, Ira Reyn'
olds. lie has quoted largely from the report
lof tho sneHino committee on The stale
House. Now, Ira, why did you not quote
oil the fncis in that matt r." Simply be-
cause quoted enough from that report
to prove that tho committee did consider
that YOU had connivcd with the bidders
and had defraudcd the Slnte out Of a very
largo amount, besides, | preferred referring
10 the document itself which is full OF
just such cases, and had not interest
enough in your slimy doings, TO republisl'
the document entire. Again you say,"i II
suited your lying purpose best 10 give one
side only. Had YOU told the whole story
your purpose would have failed" Ali
you own, do you, that the facts (wilhoul
the Shiny document, gotten up by your
selO sting, do ihcyl Truth is stronger
than falsehood, and do not wonder that
you hate to see II rcpublished, and call IL
a "lyiug purpose" You Ind better put
out your slimy document ngnin to rcrute
H.. But, again you say, "Yuu did not
want the facts known that the whole
State House matter had been answered,
(by the Shiny documcnO aud the reply
was approved by the Lcgislstur,." by
what Legislaturol A partisan Lcgsla.

Did you actually slime them over and
commence mnsiicating, limb by limb,
until you bad swallowed majority, aud
then swallow yourself and ;urn inside
out. aud escape with considerable Of tail
/ leltl Obi Gsncr.all this was n grand feat,
and one of which You c,nttlJ at.
But again you say, "And wen might !
bo proud, when such mon "a Alfred
Kelley with n twelve months search
could not find one dime misplaced" All!
you cunning slippery creature, you had got
II all slimrd over had you'll SO that he
could not trap you, and now do, please
tell us General" how much you had to
slime the bidders 10 get matter fixed 80
cute! Oh! yes, you might wei be proud
aud boast. aud 80 does the highwnymt n
boast Of many dcods of daring which he
has done. .... .f
have M doubt General but whnl
klrred Kelley could have smeled out one
dime, had that "smclling committee" have
told him that you belonged 10 the Kill.
konney cat specie, which have such 0
wonderful faculty Tor swallowing, bat us

The article Of the 18th of October, to do
with the proceeds OF the Republic fhir!
Nothing Ira, having signully failed TO
establish single item of the slanderons
report of tho committee, has sct to work

did not give ono dimo Tor the rchcr Of
"thc alex land wounded soldier who is

your puny polluted hand ever iudite thnl

You talk about slandcr, while every wore

since you have lent your aid to tho most
con .cmptblc of all your acts, you scol,
to crush me by your slundcrous lying
articles, but whether the head or tho tail
Of the kite, you have not got character
enough left in scipio, TO do It, know
that you have laid yourself liable 10 Tho

as seventh rate pcttiioggcr, TO dc'rauS
"thc sick and wounded soldier who u
enduring the scorching rays Of South.
ern cline that You and | may still be
Free" Is too mean for decent man e.
kick, aud do not believe that your Shiny
soul ever conceived 50 tcndcra thought
or that your craven fingers ever inditrd
the above paragraph, To which your mis-.
cradle namo was affixed in your grand
suapy article, which has proven little
too strong for your stomnc ch, aud you have
complained that had LEFT the issue, Will,
II was their you first diycrgcd from th,
issue and introduced an article makirl
the matter personal, from which there 4
no escape, and over which you need no
whine, for | shall apply the "Liqui,
