I'd, Standard: DEAR SIR--W When wrote my
card for your last number, | was Informed aud
believed that the article in the Herald to which
referred, was prepared, at least In part, by Mr..
Johnson; but rs he assures me that such was
not the case desire to acquit him Of all partI-
cipatlon In the matter. | viii also say that his
charges therein referred to, when accompanied
by his explanations, assume quite different as
poet, and are much less Objectionable than they
would otherwise appear; the apparently high
charges arising as ho shows from the fact that
his attorney fees were included In addition to
his fees as Judge, aud he excuses this upon the
ground that 1t costs the parties no more TO en-
ploy him as IN attorney than IL would to pay
any other attorney.
MI johnson informs me that what he did for
parties in the way of making out accounts and
Inventories, was done by him at the request of
the parties themselves, and says that there were
but very few cases Of the kind in which he made
any charge. lie also says he has frequently
made out accounts and Inventories and other pa
per' for parties VIII were in INDECENT circum-
stances, free OF charge, which statement have
no reason to dlsbolieve
have no desire to do Mr.. johnson any inius-
tice, and therefore make this explanation to set
him right before your readers
