ANOTHER CoPPERHEAD LIE NAILED.-Recently
whisky-selling Copperhead of Chico took occa-
sion to communicate an infamous lying article
in regard to Gen. Bidwell to the Marysville En-
press. Of course the General would not stoop
to respond to the would-be slanderer, but E. c.
Ledyard, resident of Hamilton township, Butte
county, handles Kusel in the following rough
style in a communication to the Appeal:
"Who is this Kusel? He is an individual
living in Chico, respected by none, detested by
all a man who was hung in efigy yesterday a
man who keeps miserable little groggery, and
who has made his living by selling % tarantula
juice to Indians and others, and speculating in
chickens and eggs. This miserable wretch i'm
agined that Gen. Bdwell had been instrumental
in furnishing him for gross violation of law,
when really Gen. Bidwell had nothing to do with
the case and for this supposed grievance he
penned the batch of lies published in the Erpre..
over the signature of Kusei' The facts of the
matter are these: In the year 1863 the Indians
were in the habit of obtaining whisky somewhere
and getting drunk, thereby endangering the lives
of the citizens in the surrounding country and
making night hideous with their yels and ca
rousals. Suspicion fell upon this Kusel,' and
the much lamented Mr.. Eddy ian honest, upright
gentleman who had charge of the Indians
caused Kusel to be watched, and he was soon
detected as the author of the trouble. Mr.. r.
w. Durham obtained warrant for kusel, and
it was served by Constable j. Ii. Simmons
Kusel, was arrested, brought to Orovile, tried
before Justice S. W. W. Coughey, found guilty,
and fined S75 or 374 days in the county Jail
The fine was paid by his brother in greenddcks,
AMI Kusel was released. These are the
grievances of this miserable wretch, and the
grounds for his abuse and sander of man who
now lays moudering in his grave That kuser
was never fit to black his boots, and a man that
this accursed coward had rather found in his
black box, than to have slandered, were he
now living. Oh, how glorious it must be to
pitch into dead men? Democracy where is
your departed glory? This is the kind of mate
rial that the Gorilas have to to abuse and
belle the best men of our country. All that
have to say is, that He'll alone would counten-
ance things in human shape that degraded
enough for such work.
