taken occasion to refer to an article in the
Press of June 9th. Judge G. seems to con-
ceive the article to have been a reflection up
Oh him. We reprint the Objectionable por-
ton: "
I'VE have thought. sometimes, that Green
purpose % OF taking Ing votes from feuDetis. Ir,arI
Is the case the plan will be completely foiled
because we feel certain Judge Greearood wu
not lend his name for any such purpose"
This language cannot be construed to reflect
upon Greenwood. Wewere for Tcbbetts be-

a greater influence at Washington than any
other man from our District, and we have
learned nothing to change our opinion in this
respect. " t.r

border upon dillidence, he was not only the

honest, and guilty ofnone ofthose petty vices
which so mar youth and childhood. We have
said he was a budding flower blasted but ere
this the blooming petals have opened to for
ever blossom IN another and purer cline.
The funeral Of the deceased was attended
from the Presbyterian Church. Thursday
evening last. His remains were followed To
the grave by his Sunday school mates and a

noble young men composing our Brass Band.
