The Haheas Corpus Case.
CAMBRIpeEPoRT. VI, Dec. A, 1871.

Mr.. EDITOR After lapse of three
weeks We are again attacked, and this
time by the hero himself. or it may be
by the whole firm of Barry, MacNu.ty,
Harry's Boy q Co. Who will try us
nextY We are earnestly requested by
the Editor Of this paper not to make any
new attacks upon Mr. Barry in this mat
ter, and to make this article as brief as
possible. And as we are quite sure that
any statements that we might make con-
corning him or his actions, he would be
just as sure to deny and pronounce them
falsehoods;" We will try therefore to
comply with the publishers request.
First, then, in regard to his statement
in the matter of Mr.. o. d. Gray, in which
he says he paid the debt twice, man
that has no inclination to pay an honest
debt once, would hardly do it twice we
think. His wife tells Mr.. Gray that he
Barry knew he had not paid it, and
had spoken to her about it within year,
but as he could not find receipt, it was
rather of critical condition for this
poor man.
And again, in which he says he never
told Mr.. Gray that there had been a
writ served upon him. As your read
ers know Mr.. Gray and also Mr.. Barry,
they can judge which to believe.
In reply to the inquiry we made in our
last as follows "Why did he tell S. NJ.
Dimond of this place that he had left
5000 for his wife's support" l am pre-
pared not only to make the inquiry but
the statement, and can back it up by al
least three responsible persons, as to
whether he Barry did tell Mr.. S. NJ
Dlmond. | offer the affidavit of his en-
employer at the close of this article and
leave you Mr.. Editor, and your readers
to judge whether l was justified or not
in making the inquiry l did. Now he
speaks of the ku Klux leader and its
thirty-two members. We werenot aware
Mr.. Editor, that our town could boast of
such an organization within its borders.
We suppose that he has become quite ia
miliar with the use of that term in the lat
ltude where he resides, and could not wade
through such an epistle as appeared in
your last without applying the epithet
to respectable citizens of your town, bur
of course it will not do to deny its exist.

to the close of that article.

Will J. w. Barry deny that he ha,
very recently decided his property in
Virginia to his father, w. S. Barry, We
presume he will, vet such deed appear
ed for record in the clerks office, of tbs
county of Culpeper, Va, previous to
Nov. %, 1871. Why all this?
With reference to MacNulty, we say
: we hope tt hat if a generous public dc
think it best to place US in an asylum
for treatment of softening of the brain, i
will notbe the one which his warm frienc
has so often patronized, we should how

bility of cure.
But we close feeling that we have al
