Carson Aps6 of this morning says
that johnny Taylor called at the office
ofkhat paper yesterday afternoon and
Mad a'talE relative to the article pub
lished in the paper Of that morning,
rejecting 70 severely upon him and
his race Of sunday. Johnny stated
that he had come with o hut the
most ~peaceable intentions; but, in the
meantime, took out n copy Of the Ap-
peal and read u portion Of the ofen-
Sive article. "Coming to that part Of
it which charged him with having
written a letter to Bright inelosing 4
hundred dollars, he denied that that
charge was correct, and referred to
Bright, who was present, to know If
what he averred was not so. Bright
answered that lie (Faylor) had not sent
him the money in q letter, but had put
it in his hand. himself, telling him to
bet il. This makes an immaterial diff
ference rs to the statement Of facts;
and we give 1t for what 1t Is worth.
We told Taylor that we had only re-
lateI what we believed to be true and
that we could neither qualify its pur-
port nor retract 1t. After some further
conversation, which was all friendly
enough, the interview ended. We
make this statement In view Of the
fact that the matter is one Of town
talk; and to furnish forth the facts.
Mr.. j. l.. Bright, the man whom we
have referred to as the victim of the
'.throw off" race on Sunday, stated to
us Yesterday that the amount Of his
stake was $3.50; that he bet 1t upon the
understanding with Taylor that he
was to win the race and that he had
notified the stake holder, Mr.. Thomas
White, not to give up the stakes. He
declares that he cares less for the loss
OF the none than for being ''played
for a sucker" He feels very bitterly
towards Taylor. In the meantime the
money Is securely locked up in n safe
ut Empire"
