communication. That Il will amuse
some. of them we have no doubt.
The writer, certainly shows himself open
tothe Melk directed attack Of cur friend,
''0IbsrEH;| |sin his thoughtless and silly
reply sAlrpublic officers should expect
ths criticism Of the public. Their reply
to t6is criticism, when exercised, should
be. in explanation of themselves, and not
insthis syllabub malevolence all around
Our correspondent, "OLDsTER," will
doubtless take care of himself next
week.m We have no doubt that the jury
irf this "Court of Justice" are iutclli-
gent men, and honest, but what, pray,
have, they got to do with the Trial JUS
tiee2mr bar
,sAndinow TO another point. Mr.. Pohl
in dhis letter asserts in substance that
there arc Trial Justices who have swim
died the County. AS a public Journal
istIwe demand proof of this assertion.
If,auyhady has been playing cheating
gatnei ictowards the State or County, in
the capacity of Trial Justice, tie public
has Fight to know who they are, aud
demand proof for conviction. And now
ast,Mr. ,Pohl is sworn officer of the
State, and consequently bound by said
oath orobligation to protect her rights,
ahd more especially those of tho County
in,which he holds his appointment, it is
his highest and most imperative duty to
bring these parties, who have been play
ing double game in the role of the
TrialnJustice, to condign and mcrited
punishment The assertion is made in
SO many words that somebody's course
would not stand the test of the square
and as the oaas probandi rests upon Mr..
-Pohrs shoulders, the public, to whom he
has voluntarily given the intelligence,
will certainly have very curious opin-
ion of him, unless he assists them in
,hayingthese swindlcrs brought to the pro
per place. IF it is at all probable that
Trihl Justice who has only held his po-
sition for few months, could have had
the State indebted to him in the pretty
little SUN of 'sseyeral thousand dollars"
by turning things to account" it is
highly necessary that rigid examina-
tion Should speedily take place in this
branch of our judicial department..
4 word or two more and we will give
the letter.
It never has nor will it ever benefit a
person, who, gets himself into newspaper
i controversies, to drag others into it. AS
we said in the onset, replies to criticisms
should always be to explain away the
cause for criticism, or iii cxculpation of
the acts Of the party attacked. Whole
!, sale ipsinuations and inuendoes, aguinst
z. narties who have no interest in contro-
avcrsy, invariably serves to bring out
bitterness from quarter VIII re it other
