Ii having been stated 70 o. By gentle
man of this city, Who is editoFially
noticed BY the Champion Is "a friend"
aud one Of ''the mos, enrerPris
Ing, energetic and prominent busines
men of Leavenworth, " that the report Of the
building of the bridge at Atchison was not
decidel upon, and the Marysville LOcomotirs
having stated the same thing in substance.
we published the rumor, and the article from
the Loommosire, expressing our reget
We did 80 innocently, not dreaming that
We would thereby provoke the amiable editor
Of the Champion to overflow with gall and
wormwood.
Asthe deed is done, We see no other way
to get out Of the scrape than BY publishing the
mild and Chris,ian-iike reply of the Cxam-
Pior.
There is one thing, however, that troubles
us. If the editor Of the Champion thinks
that he has meeted out 10 Us only = just pun
ishment, what must be the fate of his Leav-
enworth friend Who told US the story, and
what, Oh what! is to become Of poor Petes,
of the Locomotiue' We publish the CSampi-
on's courteous article, AMI await, with trem-
bling anxiety, to hear the blast that is sure
TO fall upon the devoted head Of the poor
devil who edits the Locomotive, and our

an A. AGAIN
The lussy liar who edits the Leavenworth
TINES indulges, in his issue Of yesterday
morning, in an article as silly ~ il Is false
Always notorious for his mendacity and
meanness, he seems to be desiro@ of proving
that he ia a. witIess az he il unworthy. He
is constantly inyenting the most stupid and
preposterous fal=ehoods and publishing them
in his paper, and when his own stock is ex.
hau-,ed he copies and enlarges upon all thai
he can find in any other Journal in the State.
This fellow copies the statement of the
Marysville Locomotive that the dispatch from
Boston in reference to the extension of the
Central Branch Road and the bridge At this
CITY was written in Atchison. forwarded to
Boston, and then sent back to Atchison, and
proceeds to make comm ents upon it. We
have already branded this story "a prepos.
ferrous lie. ID. T. Anthony knows that it il
lie, copied it knowing it to be . lie, adopted
it knowing it to he a lie, and commented
upon j, as truth knowing il to be lie Be.
cause il is such Q stupid and preposterouf
story that no person believes it.
The people of Atchison have been out o!
patience for months past with the delay oil
the Central Branch Railroad Company in
extending their line, and instead of sending
dispatches Of tine character indicated, would,
if they sent any at all, send words rejecting
upon the inaction of that Company.
This liar also goes out of his way to say
that while in the army ''he (we) CORES.
correspondent with his own paper, filling il
with fnlsome puffs of himself" This infa.
nous lie is Characteristic of D. X. Anthony
and eminently worthy Of him. He knew,
when he wrote it that it was lie. The file
of the Champion are at orr Office, and We
will give him. or any one he may delegate,
full opportunity to examine every letter VI
ever wrote to this paper while serving dur.
ing the war in the army. If he can find
one single word that justifies his mean and
infamous charge, We will acknowledge itt
truth We assert that he cannot do 20; thai
he lied when he wrote that statement; that
he knew he was writing lie; that he knew
he was publishing lie; and that he is,
therefore, an infamous and shameless liar.
ID. r. Anthony is the last man in the
world, however, who should ever say any
thing about any person putting himself. u
For years past this fellow has had Mutual
Admiration Society, consisting of only one
person, himself, whose occupation and de
light il was to advertise and praise himself
and to abuse and depreciate everybody else.
In his talk and in his writings, in private
and in public, ID. X. Anthony, what he does,
what he Gays, what he has done. what he in
tends doing, how he has been abused, how
he has always been right and everybody else
has been wrong, is d. r. Anthony's thread.
bare and persistent theme, played upon af
"a harp OF q single string" until the ears Of
all Listeners are tortured beyond endurance
