purchased the Crescent City Jol
Office" from WILLIAM Ell. CHANDLER
With this Office / received a larg,
guam ity of all kinds of job type, anC
have had no need for any other. Tht
Times job Office was, with the excep
ton of one or two fonts, alnos
worthless.
| SHAKspEARE gives us his IAGo, anc
SCHILLER his FRANZ Moor, for the
purpose ofuniolding the worst passion;
which animate the human heart; but
this miserable wretch exceeds them
both, and yies with Satan himself for
the mastery in lying.
He gives a long story about some
new leads which he says some of my
boys took from his Office, and which
were seen in the forms of the Demo
krot. IF required, can procure the
affidavit of my foreman that no new
leads we're in my forms. IF the leads
were in the forms, why did -he not
call my attention to the fact? / could
then have ascertained who took them,
BY finding ont who composed that part
where they were found.
This neglect on his part leads me to
suspect that he aoillfngly hes about the
matter. m
One night, some months ago, one
of the Courier boys broke into the
Deuokrat Office and took consider
able quantity of leads. Next morning
/ informed the foreman of the Courier
office of the fact, and insisted that the
leads should be brought back. He
detected the guilty one and returned.
the leads. l never ascertained who
the thief was, but / know that he
never was discharged-Which would
have been his fate in the Dentokrat-
Office. Honest KIERoLF, honest IAGo,
kept him in his EMPLOY
KIERoLF further says, that half of
the leads and slugs used on the Dem
k1,at are his. l can prove that not
single lead nor slug of the Indiana
iStdats Zeit1ag were used on the Tines,
and these articles, together with the
rules, etc, were turned over TO the
Dentokyot The quantity of leads of
the Staats Zeitung was SO great, that
they were never all used on the Dem
okrnt, and as far az slugs are concern
ed, / am able to showa bill from the
Cincinnati Type Foundry, where slugs
are mentioned and paid for.
He then says, the imposing stones
on which the paper is made mp" be-
long to him. I can show bill from
HELMERIcH & Co., for two imposing
stones, amounting to $36 90, and
bill from UHLHoRN & BRINKMAN for
one imposing stone, for $18 90. The
forms of the Democrat have never
been made up on any other stones.
He also charges me with having
about sixty pounds of nonpareil be-
longing to his advertising font. can
prove by all my hands that / never
had more than small font of nonpa-
reil, weighing from six TO eight pounds,
and that / bought of Mr.. CHANDLER,
and paid for. e
When / removed the Times Office,
I received from a member of the Com
mittee an eight day clock, with in
structions 10 deliver it to no one
without his or another members
order. A member of the Courier
Company demanded the clock, some !
two or three months ago, which / re-
fused to deliver, stating my instruc-
tons. l informed him that | would
be very glad to receive an order to
deliver the clock, as that would give
me chance to present bill to the
author Of the order for removing the
material. The order was never pre-
scented, and consequently l kept the
clock, which / shall hold until my
bill Is paid, or an order for delivery
presented. aNzM
Now, few remarks in regard to
the press. During the last few weeks
this rascal, KIERoLF, threw 50 many
obstacles in my way, and used SO
many tricks against me, that only by
the greatest exertions was I able to
keep up the paper. Here will men
ton only one of his mean tricks: Last |
Wednesday, when my Weekly paper
ought to have been printed, I sent a
young man to KIERoLF to ascertain
