Ma. EpIToR:-My article of last week
was aimed, as | supposed, at larger game
than the subject which | now propose to
dissect; and however disagreabe the
task, l feel it a duty ta.expose the uHof-
fetal as we'll as the,6ficiol conduct of
the "Demosthenes OF the Senate, The
Wise Man of the West, the Daniel of
o-day, alias ELIPHALET CASE, Post
master BY the grace OF Radicalism, and
l,y accident member of the City Coun
ell of Hickman. As was said in John
A. Wilson's article published In last
week COURIER, this man was elected by
the Council to I'LL the vacancy occasion
ed by the resignation of V. a. McCutch-
en-, Esq, (what falling off was that my
countrymanD he being defeated for that
office by the corporate voters at the last
January election. PreUious to his election
to the vacancy proposition had been
made public, as the Councils proceed
ing's will show, for teacher to take
charge of Free School, A committee
of three of the Council was appointed TO
receive applications, and contract with
suitable person or persons, as they saw
fit, to take charge of said school The
committee found two young ladies who
desired it, and with them made a contract
leaving the time when the school should
commence and the length of the session
TO the future action OF the Board. All
this transpired before Case was u mem
Der of the Council. August 18th, he
was elected to fill the vacancy, and two
weeks thereafter, was sworn in as mem
I Il h -
which the almost entire Board, judging
| from their action, seem to have been be-
relt of common sense, justice and the
better attributes of humanity. 1t was
| before this meeting, when he was no mem
Der, that this embryo councilman, com
menced the unworthy work to displace
the young ladies who had been chosen
by a regularly authorized committee g
teach the school. His elation at his pros.
pective official honors, seem to have de-
prived him of all modesty or courtesy
if he ever possessed either, and, "big
man me, on his own hook, clothed with
no authority whatever, without any ca
pacity to judge of the qualifications of a
teacher, he seeks Cowgirl, and induce!
him notwithstanding this creature haG
volunteered to a FREUD his services t.
secure for one of the young ladies tn,
SCHOOL, to put in a proposition, which
he did, aud it was put through in tn,
manner described in communications il
last weeks paper. These are statement
which Case nor Cowgirl can successfully
disprove. They are facts which canno
be distorted or smoothed over. Ho,
exultant must they fell How thei
manly bosoms swell! They are doubt
: less joyous all oyerl For have they nc
) succeeded in displacing two worth
young women from position. that woul
have given them suficiency to keep til
wolf from their doors Two women
f yes, two young women, are your victim
!, you immortal heroes This is largei
}, your doings, Mr.. Case-and
e "a Thy name-thy human name--to ever
5 eye, WeA
; The climax of all scorn should hang on higl
q Exalted Ger thy less abhorred compeers-
And fostering in the infamy of years"
