Of Knox, where, every officer is, and

Democrat, has cost each voter $29 II:

EVIDENTLY, the editor of the
Courier is sorely lchagrined at the
publication of Recorder. NELSON'S
transcript of his Docket. and in his
8 Card" he whines like a whipped
cur over it. We made the ,publica-
ton purely as a matter of justice to
Recorder NELSON, one of our oldest
and most highly respectable citizens,
who had, without the least provoca-
ton, been assaulted as a colleague with
thieves and plunderers of the public |
Treasury. He had right to show to
the public the character of the man
who had SO grossly maligned him;
and we. could not refuse the use of
our columns. Stung by the publica-
ton, the editor repeats the charge,
and says Recorder NELSON is
coarse, hard man, who never crossed
his legs under the table of gentle
MANI He charges him with miscon-
duct in Office, and says. that his
court is regarded as nuisance" No
doubt he thinks so. He has reason
to have poor opinion Of it.
1t is astonishing with what noncha-
lance this editor alleges that he has
'abstained from applying personally
approbious enithets !. to any Of these
gentlemen, referring to the Republi-

that he has applied to Captain OAR !

and in the very paper in which his
: Gard appears, he charges OAR
LING with wholesale corruption and |
fraud speaks of bis conduct, as
: corruption and swindling"-that the
people will administer castigation
toathe eorruptionists DARLING and |
others) as warning to other public
officers that they cannot swindle and
rob with impnnity charges OAR
LING with Withholding the money
collected on executions for his own
use-says he has smuggied through
allowances in the courts-an
alleges that ne has committed
purjury. IF these are not per
sonally opprobious epithets we
have a very poor conception Of the
English language. And after publish
ing to the world that Recorder NELSON
is in "cahoots. with DARLING in
this rascahty, he Whimpers like
