EDITOR Posr: Please answer the fol-
lowing questions and oblige your

CIVIL QUESTIONS FOR THE
GAZETTE.

1. Do you believe the clause in the De-
claration of Independence, holding "this
ruth to be selfevident, that all men are
created free and equal, having certain
iRdIieHdJLe rights, among which are, life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?"
3 Do you believe that loyal negro
is as unsafe TO bestow suffrage upon as
a disloyal white MANI
3. Do you believe that taxation with
out representation is right?
4. If it is wrong for the white man,
why is it not wrong for the black man
5. Are you in favor of releasing JEFF.
Davis, and declaring him eligible to hold
office?
6. Is jeff Davis any more of a traitor
than any other of the prescribed leaders?
z. Are you in favor of the present sys-
tenn of apportioning representation by
population of 291 900, is entitled to the
same number of members in Congress
as Connecticut, with white population
of 452, 900?
8. Do you believe the Union League
is disloyal organization? Ifso, please
show cause for the faith that is in you.
9. You have opposed every plan of re
construction offered by Congress. What
is your planr
10 Do you believe that the decisions
of five members of the Supreme court,
represents the infaliible opinion of the
American people, when the four other
members of that court, the Senate and
House, and majority of 100000 loyal
voters have decided against them?
IL If the people of the United States
desire to alter or amend the Constitution,
have they any right TO do so, and where
must the amendments emanate from?
12. Is there anything loyal in the Re
publican party? Is there any disloyal
element In the Democratic party?
BY answering these questions without
calling us liar, you will very much
oblige the Greek editor, and no doubt,
get yourself in muddle.

STERLING PRICE.-The lecturer, Geo.
Alfred Townsend, from snow-bound
train at Terre Haute, writes on the back
of his hat to the Cincinnati Commercial
gossip letter, which he spices with this
wafer of news "-as he calls it
Last Sunday l saw in st. Louis, at the
dining table of the Southern Hotel, Ster-
ling Price, splendid name for soldier;
almost good enough to be a dranatis per
s0nde. He was one of those gorgons of
the rebellion, of whom we read in the
East, picturing to ourselves a bearded
energy, young and unquenched, like
Sheridan or Stoneman. saw before me
a poor old man, whom peace and honor
had made plethoric, whom war has made
bald and lean. His great shoulders
bent under their dwindled height; his
feet were shrunken in their CATERS, and
ratified like pair of spurs he had lost
the battle-Iight from his eyes, the bronze
from his knuckles; his voice of command
was lost so that the waiter bent TO his
lips TO hear his choice of soups. Desti-
tute in his disappointed age, the spectre
of adining-table, one-half the guests who
looked upon him pitifully had been his
soldiers in the war. Three times he
swept Missouri-slew Lyon, stormed
Mulligan, bearded jeff Davis. Now he
eats like the seventh stage of man. His
SON sits by him-msrr:ed but lately TO
the daughter of Federal General Price
and they are going TO give him purse
in St. Louis to make some merry rattle
for his frosty days

And didn't you make several threats about
cleaning out the radical party or ticket, if
one was put in the field, at the approaching
'special election ?'
Itwould do our readers good to hear
the denial our irate junior gives this lie.
1t is hearty and to the point. Does any
man that ever knew Ben r. Dittes, be-
lieve he ever said it? Not one. Itneeds
no denial.
Certainly you did-and when we cornered
you a trifle about there being but two parties
the radical Republican and conservative
party, which means simply copperhead Democ-
racy, didn't you-after acknowledging that
Conservatism" "meant just nothing at all''-
Mr.. Dittes suggested that idea to Capt.
Fisk, without waiting to be " cornered, .
by saying that conservatism would not
be an element in the coming election. -
That acknowledging is a missing
suit in Ben. r. Dittes' hand, when he
plays against a man of Capt. Fisk's cali
bre.
=" didn't you assert that you-meaning the
PosT-would get up a third party? Certainly
you did,
No! James l.. Fisk, he neUer Soid that.
You know it. We know it. Such a
thing was never mentioned in this office
or out it, by either of the proprietors of
this paper. He never said anything
that approached to it, in letter or intent.
1t is a base fabrication an empty bub-
bic, light as air. We do not wish to use in
this paper, the only language fitting to
denounce the series of perversions and
falsehoods, quoted from the Herald. We
have given the language used by Mr..
Dittes. He will answer anywhere for
the truthfulness of our version of the
conversation, and his word is good. The
last portion of the Herald article, shows
the motives that actuated the writer.
ENVY, explains it in a word 1t is an
old adage, that "envy confesses superb
ority," and, God knows, it would be little
we would have to be proud of, if it CON
sisted alone in superiority TO the Herald.
We never would have answered its inn
beetle taunts, or its idiotic attempts at
witticism, except to vindicate the char
acter of one it has slandered. 1t will be
in violation of our better feelings to do
so, but if this most ungentlemanly vii
ification of Mr.. Dittes is continued,
we will strip from the hideous deformity
that sits enthroned within the Herald
office, the glittering tinselry, and boasted
honors he wears: if he assumes
the god" and with malicious intent,
defames the character of respecta-
BILE men; perverts and publishes pri.
vate conversations, and mingles per.
version with falsehood, that it may an
swer an infamous purpose, I'VE will pub.
lish record of his public life, so dis
graceful that men will shun him like a
leper, or the noxious odors of the grave.

Information accompanying this notice
convinces us that it is the platform of
an organization, and that it means bust
ness. 1t demands the consideration of
the Vigilantes of this Territory. They
have been, in times past, the only pro
lection for life and property that existed
in our Territory and history will accord
them the honors for thorough, fearless
and conscientious discharge of arduous
duties. 1t was composed of men intent
upon but one purpose-the supremacy
of Order. For this they sacrificed their
time, their money, and their personal
safety; braved every danger, and en-
dured privation, exposure and peril,
even to the death. They acted from
pure motives, and as the judiciary as
sumed power and protective strength,
their aid was given to the courts, and
the organization existed only as an aux
iliary to them, and has, finally, become
passive and inactive. The organization,
however, still exists, as strong in num-
bcrs and power, as in its palmiest days.
1t is a sleeping lion a smothered volca
no perhaps to awake in anger or burst
forth with redoubled vigor. The num-
Der of horrible crimes recently perpetra-
ted within our borders has disturbed
their repose, and low, but portentous,
rumbling has given cause for expecta-
ton. This notice, and other reliable in
formation, indicates that there exists in
different localities, secret and sworn
leagues to resist the Vigilantes. The
assertion, that bad men have, in its lat
ter days of apathy, worked themselves
into it, and hold position in it. may be
true. Vigilantes, your reputation is at
stake; your character is assailed If
you are guilty, you have but two altern-
atives: to die in dishonor, or, to Danish
from your body every unclean member.
The crisis is upon you. Your enemies
have hurled the gauntlet in your teeth.
Let not passion return the blow but
separate from the wheat the tares and
cookie, that you may continue honored
by the good people, and feared by the
bad. Whether you are active or passive,
this duty to yourselves the principles
you have maintained; the history you
have made, and the order-ioving, law
respecting citizens who have sustained
and honored you, is alike imperative.
You will be strengthened by driving out
an element of weakness and, if neces-
sity demands that you should act again,
let it be in the broad light of day, in the
presence of the people; in the cause of
the Right, and strong in the high char
acter of those who are assuming TO
judge the limits of life, that when your
final record is written up, and your
character brought before the tribunal of
the world, you may be honored by the
verdict, Sans peUr ct sans repr0che.
