THE WEEKLY HERALD
THURSDAY. AUGUST II, 1870.

THURSDAY. AUGUST II, 1870.
Dr.. WALKER will answer the
slanderous imputation of the
HERALD in our issue of to-mor-
row. He will not descend to vitu-
peration and falschood, but will
make n satisfactory exhibit Of his
official acts, in facts and figures
Times and Republican Aug. 10th.
Who is the ninny who scribbled
the above paragraph? 1t certain
ly cannot be DIR. Walker, since he
has for some time past been suffer
ing the tortures of the damned in
anticipation of the appearance Of
the very publication to which the
above paragraph refers. In fact
SO nervous and frightened was he
that he sent General George c.
Mckee 10 us q few days since to
request that We would spare him
for yet few days until his report
was presented to the Board Of
Mayor and Aldermen. His fears
were but the workings Of a guilty
conscience, for if he had been in
nocent he had no reason to antici-
pate that we intended to show him
up. The writer for the Times and
Republican says that the Doctor
in his answer twill not descend to
vituperation and falsehood." We
are glad to know it, and if so, un.
less the Times writer has been
imposed on, the Doctor will make
a very ugly exhibit for himself.
We have not the honor of an &C.
quintance with the sagacious and
excessively courteous editor OF
the Times and Republican but res.
pectfully suggest to him that it
will probably be better for him to
conRne himself to his Legitimate
duties without reading an homily
upon the amenities of life as he
did a few days since, and instead
Of applying such terms to our
declarations as he does in the
aApve paragraph.
From the Memphis Appeal oi

Virginia railroad. We regret tC
