Old Lampfat Again !!
"A Forged Lie Nailed by his own Ad-
missions.

ullSSlOISs
This old juniper berry comes out in
a card in the Constitution Of the 18th
under date Of the 9Th at Ottumwa
with much fustian and protcnds to
deny that he made the remark we
nailed to him:
"These one. armed soldiers who arc
thrust under our noses as objects Of
charity are fit carcasses for the GAL
lo,cs n
He says: "The truth is no soldier
wasreferred to in any way. Gen. Dan.
=. Sicklcs, to whom I am responsible
Tor all | may say, ,cas spoken Of By
myself"
There's q lie inside Of lie, ii you
will notice the italics.
Now, itmakes no difference to us
what soldier he was speaking Of, Gen.
Dan. =. Sickles, or any other man,
Dan. Sickles was and is as brave O
soldier as ever drew q blade, and, for
that reason we say the old vocabula.
~ Of dirty shirts ought to be mugged.
But here comes the julep Of his de-
NAL. To makehis case clean he pub
fishes the following as a tar bucket to
his card
l
We the undersigned state that we
were present, and heard the CONVEX
sation referred to in the Courier oil
the 9th, and there was nothing said
about nor any reference made to one
armed soldiers, nor soldiers of any
class; and that Horace Greeley and
Dan. E. Sickles were the only per-
sons spoken Of referred to in said con.
vcrsation and tho facts stated above
in reference to them are true.

THos. G. SULLIVAN,
w. w. CAREY, Atty at Law.
Look at tho forgery There is not
one man named there that lives in
Ottumwa, or was ever heard Of here,
not one. And the very Same thing
is reiterated in this clincher Cd that
Lampfat says himself, that no sold;e,
,cas spoken Of; but mark aHorace
Greeley and Dan. b. Sic hes vere the
only persons spoken Of" Do tho peo-
pie who watched tho war four years
not know who Dan. e. Sickles was ?
Come, it won't do. The dodge is too
clean. Dean said just what we say
he did because we have it from one
who was not an "eaves-dropper," but
who heard him say it as he was pass.
ing by, and whom we would believe
without affidavit, just what we can't
say ofTar-Dean. The facts, the loud
mouthed brawler was picked up, and
he tries this dodge to get rid of it,
One soldier, or all soldiers, it makes
no difference, he don't deny saying
lit.
Old Pussy further says: aIf the
editors Of the COURIER have any griev.
ance to redress, they can readily find
me"
No doubt of that: A skunk can be
traced long way and while we dc
not wish any disturbance we warn
you to not repeat such language again
in Ottumwa, or, skunk or foul shirts
won't save you.

like dogs; dogs are a good institution
dogs arc not good institution; there
are TOO many dogs; there are moi
enough dogs. Nearly all breeds We
think a nuisance, with all tho con.
seriousness Of being snarled at by the
"nothing TODD" ladies who nurse
their lovely little poodles in lieu Of
something better to nurse, we still
pronounce the major races of dogs a
nuisance. Dogs are good institu
ton because they follow wagons and
have the distemper, and most always
take the hydrophobia first. They
are not good institution because
they follow watermelon and peach
wagons, and sometimes actually bits
a fellow when he is asking the pri-
ces and some of them won't allow
ono to enter house which he proba
bly, wants to rent after night, which
is nuisance. There are not enough
dogs because each family is entitled
to one or more-provided it pays thu
tax-and we know of at least three
families in our city who do not boas
