THE CHRONICLE AND THE JUDGES.


4th, in regard to something we SAID In our issue
Of July Goth about Reynolds threatenlngs TO-
wards Chief Justice Noggle, in certain contln-
gency. We say the article in tue Chronicle 10
remarkabe-but we wish to be understood,
not as prono,ncing it remarkable in any praise
worthy point of view, but Us piece OF balder-
dash too transparent in its style to mislead or
delude any thinking reader. 1t is composed in
the flimsy, tricksy manner, after the pattern Of
the old harridan who affects for the occasion
wonderful sentiment of virtue, and forces
bushes where shame should sutfuse to the full
est limit The poor thing pretends t" have u
most profound reverence for the Chief justice,
and goes almost into commissions because ace
said-what Not that Chief Justice Noage
was not q pattern of excellence and ability,
but that Reynolds of the Statesma" " boasts
that he has in his possession, printed and "rlt-
ten evidences to show that the present Chief
Justice of Idaho, Hon. DavidNoggle, has been
guilty of very corrupt and dishonest acts In
Wisconsin" These were tho exact words we
used. Now let US look into the Chronicles
treatment of the subject.
In the first place we will remark that, even
where Democratic "organ" finds it necessary
to express its dissent or something stronger OF
any given article the substance OF which ap-
pears alike in cotemporary papers, the one
conducted BY Democrat and the other by
Radical it is natural to presume that it (the
"organ') will readiest direct its criticisms or
censurcs towards the Radical sheet But what
does this super-virtuously indignant and sor-
rowed Democratic [socallel organ in Boise
City do! 1t does what the great poet tells
that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread"
It hasteus to the feeble assault Oh the WORLD,
and in the same breath slobbers its damnlng,
nauseating praise and adulation all over the
Statesman to such disgusting measure, too,
as to force even Reynolds. that High Priest of
Coacina. to explain to his readers in the fol-
lowing issue that he had in n" way merited
such notice, or invited it BY any familiarity
with the slObberer. 1t the Organ" does this
in the face of all reason and propriety. and it
then does still worse, as We shall now proceed
10 show.
The "organ" pirates glibly of the bad effects
of dragging the erlHiqe," &c, aud essays to
read US lecture for so doing. Now. mark:
In the Statesman of . previous date there was
published very base insinuation affecting the
judicial integrity of Judge Kelly, who is an
Associate Justice of the Supreme Bench Of
Idaho, and to assail whom is certainly rs de-
serving Of censure as It is to assal Chief JUS
tice David Noggle. But the "organ," which so
jealousy protects and so veheInently champions
the "ermine," in Noggle's case, fails even to
give the slightest notice to the SANDER of kcl-
w. Again, on August 9th, the Statesman pub
lished another very base squib against the in
tegrity Of Judge Kelly, as a Judge; but the
selfconstituted champion Of the ''erlnine," the
sharp grinding "organ," of August 9TH, never
30 much as called attention to the thing, to say
nothing Of its neglect to rake the Statesman
over the hot Goals of its virtuous dispeasure,
as it sought to rake the WORLD for having 50
"dragged the ernline We do not mean to
say the plain inference is that, perhaps, the
"organ's" grinder thinks he can run" Nogge,
and knows he cannot run" Kelly but some
very good and quite intelligent honest people
will 81 conclude; and this-to Them not to US,
of course,-wll also serve as the key to the
very remarkable guardianship the "orean F."
processes in regard to the "unsoiled" preserva-
ton of the Chief Justice. we sincerely hope
that high functionary will never have his choler
stirred by reading ip ths "Organ" anything up
on himself, for some judicial act not ip accord
ance with the expectations Of the "organ's"
grinder, which may be penned in the other ex-
treme-that of nauseating and most scurrilous
denunciation of himself as q man and as a
Judge.
The "organ" says we [it] favored the re.
fention in Office of Judges Bowers and Miller"
and that 1--WE lit, again] are aware that the
eIitor of the Statesman fully agreed with us
Tit and nothing clse] in the selection of our
Officers from among the many talented gentle
men," &c. All! now we see it, and now we
don't see-the little joker. Pray. who is this
wonderful 1--WE" of ON ."orgap"' which has
not yet an existence of one n9ptb. but which
talks thus polnpously Of what ."we" thought
and felt mehths ago7
With few words more We will pow dismiss
