OLYMPIA, W. T., July IL, 1869.
FRIESD NEwE1L:-I see an article in your
paper replying to an attack on me in the Walla
Walla Union of July Sd, for which accept my
thanks. have bat few words to say in refer>
ence to the Unions attack:
Judson wrote me disclaiming the authorship,
and knew him to be too much of q gentleman
to ascribe it to him. The article, in fact, bore
abundant marks of its origin. was never un-
der any obligations to johnson, but liked some
of his friends and relatives, and as he was on
their hands for support, out of regard for them
gave him the clerkship, which be enjoyed for
about two years, and suppose be considers the
debt paid with his pen. | can give him but
little room in this communication. To success
fully aspire to the contempt of any decent man
would be an honor to him, and if his veins were
opened and the blood could flow from them a
thousand years, no one who knows him cousid :
ers thar q single drop Of white mans blood
could be extracted.
]. d, Cook, am reliably informed, took the
article to the Office, and insisted on its p6blica-
ton. Cook is q nice bird, truely. Only some
twelve months ago he was indicted iu my Court
for perjury, aud to that merciful construction of
the law under which the Indictment was quash.
ed be owes that liberty of locomotion which be
employed 10 taking the article to the Office
now here state that the proof of Bis guilt was
overwhelming, irresistible and conclusive, and
if put upon his trial his conviction was inevit>
able. II may be added that the evidences of his
guilt aye documentary, and are preserved in the
records of the Territory, and if Cook dare deny
this statement they shall be published to the
world. 1t gives me no pleasure to say thus much,
but when parties are quick to publish falsehoods
about their neighbors they must not complain il
facts should sometimes be stated about them-
selves. Cook always had for me a face wreathe ed
in smiles, and think Shakespeare had the fel.
low in his eye when be declared that ma o
"m may smile and smile and yet be a villain"
The Oregonian So far as have noticed, is the
only paper that bas been dirty enough to copy
the article. / had always considered Scott a
gentleman, but | now here offer my profound
apology to every gentleman in the land for the
conception. The publication OF the article in.
duced meho look little into the origin of this
A." scrub, and in tracing back his geuealogy !
ind that be is composed chiefly of the refuse
matter that was left over after the destruction Of
" Sodom." There is little coating of Oregon
dirt over him which may deceive the world, but
Just the least bit of scrapiug aud you strike the
regular Sodomitic formation. That the proofs
of this matter are not here given Scott is in'
debted tn my forbearance, and their publication
in a world where every thing is unsettled would
render certain at least SCOTS origin.
But not to extend this communication, my
assailants may be characterized as-l. Johnson,
the Ingrate 2. Cook, the Perjurer; 3. Scott
the Sodomite. And now here put this my chain
around these three ours and kick them into their
kennel J. E. WYCHE.
