Yours &c, JAMES j KAYLoR.
The above correspondence we have re-
F.iyed from j. j. IIaylor, Stewart of. the
Oor House of Cambria county. We do
pot wish to be hauled up by our subscri-
Scrs for every local which appears in our
columns. In the first place, Mr.. Kaylor
E0'oms us that he was not ut home
when the scene described in our last issue
was enacted, and he also states that we
we're perfectly aware CT the fact. If we
Pre- to employ a local reporter to inform
Eur readers when Mr.. Kaylor is away
|Om the institution, we wish that the Poor
House authorities would pay for the same.
About a special agent having been sent
p Governor Curtin, we have no knowl-
fse. IF it was proclaimed to the world
Faat the Cambria county Poor House was
be best conducted institution OF the kind
+ Pennsylvania we have no objection
Flt we would like very much TO see thi:
f'port. If Mr.. kaylor thinks that he car
|almidate us to publish his nonsensical
siiers without comment, he is very much
mistaken. Mr.. Kaylor also threatens us
with his ''power." We have never felt
1he power" of any of our party, and we
'eei much like trying it on for spell. II
We can do us any injury he is welcome to
'ne benefit of it When we penned the
OcaI which aroused his s'Poor House ele-
Iehf, we did not mean to offend him, or
my oil the officers connected with the in
''u'ion. We merely stated facts which
]ne under our own observation not
nearsay," as Mr.. Kaylor has been pleased
o make US believe. We did not intend
o make public attack upon any officer
Connected with the institution bpt he bv
us impudence has invited it and we will
Dot swerve from the contest. The conn
:! is already flooded with his threatening
'p'"l''' aud if he wishes, we will publish
N'sfa' OF tbem. Under the cireum.tan.
