prisoners in accordance with the rules OF
christian warfare was met with derision.-
Now, when the war has been closed more
than two years, the leading radical newspa'
per in the country recalls this black record,
and is compelled, by very shame, to demand
an investigators of it.
I Who doubts its truth The proof of the
facts cited in che report may be found in the
military bills. The same spirit of hatred
and cruelty which sent back the emaciated
and dying soldiers to whose condition Di
bren testifes, now animates congress. 1t is
convened to declare that the whole southeri
people are prisoners of war, and to order
that they shall be guarded by bayonets unit
the noblest men among them are tortured
into submission to their late slaves This il
only less damnable than the crueities OF An
Jacksonville and Rock Island.

men: l notice an article in the ARGUS of
Yesterday in which you say you are not
gambling men" and that .you dos not deal
with your customers in gambling way
IF this is true, you certainly have gone back
on your old profession. At the same time
you ask me to put up my machine and money
enough, in your opinion, to make the sum
equal to $500. As you pretend not to value
the Wood machine equally with the New
Yorker, / propose that we drop machines
and pat 5000 in money in the hands of a
third party for the express purpose oftestins
the merits of the two combined reapers.
have therefore placed $200, not in. Mitchell
& Lynde's bank, where it would be accessi
BILE to none but the depositor, but IN the
hands of Mr.. Fred. Ridenbaugh, who is a
well known and responsible person. As soor
as you cover that amount with an equal sun
/ am ready to arrange preliminaries for the
trial, either at your Office or mine.
Mr. j. T. Disney can have the same offel
whenever he chooses to put his money in re
sponsible hands and arranges preliminarie
for the trial. -.f.....
Gentlemen, my money is in Mr.. Riden
baugh's hands. All i ask is that you cove
it with an equal amount, or acknowledg'
that you are beaten. l want no further con
