oh! WHAT PROOF 5!
sapient GOuld-WhO is the Liar ?

ed most admirably in proving that he
is liar and an ass. He says that we
denied that Mr.. Williams voted for
Bill for mixing the scholars. We say
so now, and that Gould has furnished
no evidence to the contrary.
What does he say? Why he wrote
to Columbus for copy of the Record
aud then claims to give it, as follows ::
"SEc. 90. The schools established
by this act SHALL BE FREE TO ALL youth
between six and twenty one years of
age, that are children, wards or APP.
prentices of actual residents of the
school district"
Then Gould charges that Mr. vii
liams voted for that Bill t,cice, and
that therefore he has proved us liars
by the Record.
Now Gould, suppose we admit your
Record" just as you claim it,
/ (Which we will show directly by the
Journal is not the Record. what does
it prove? You say because that sec
ton says that 1.-the schools established
by this act shall be free to all youth,
that therefore ''niggers and whites are
all to be mixed up" and the poor
white man is ruined. Oh! what evil
dencc! what demagoguery! What
kind of schocl Is would you have estab
lished Schools that are free to part
of the youth free to some and not free
to Others? schools that the rich man s
children can 60 to free and the poor
mans children must pay, or vice Uer
sa? Who would you make pay 'chil
dren wards or apprentices or
are you in favor of schools free for
ALL youth ? Stand up and speak. Ii
you are. then YOU ARE IN FAVOR of the
Section SO you quote. And upon the
same principle you charge Mr.. Viii
Iiams with being in favor of mixing
the schools we charge YOU with being
in favor ofthe same thing.
But who ever before heard of a man
selecting out SIC lines of a Bill cover
| ing nesrly sirty pages, to prove what
the Bill is and those six lines being
only q part Of one section. What
schools are established by said act ?
Schools in "Russia," Utah or Nip
tight Speak Your wisdom, Gould,
as we'll as your honesty is equal to that
of the Dummy who attended the ini
tiation in the ssSons of Malta" When
the initiate was required to attest his
devotion to the flag of his country, he
was asked care you so devoted to
your proud banner that in case it is
assailed, you would lie in wait and
steal upon the enemy to save it from
dishonor ?" He responds Il would. "
Thereupon Dummy announces in the
hearing ofall with great flourish, He
will both lie and stead" He thus Sc
lect.d out two words, (probably ali
he could understand which puts the
poor initiate in an attitude he never
dreamed of. Now, oh Dummy Gould
you select sic lines out of nearly sixty
pages, and then don't get them togeth
er in such a way as to prove anything
except the Bill was in favor of ''FRE1
SCHOOLS" Was you Dummy in The
Sons of Malta Could? Speak
But what is the fact about House
Bill 496 for which Mr.. Williams is
charged with voting, "twice.' In the
first place, the Register has not ever
given the tile of the Bill correctly
The Bill was introduced on the 9tl
day of February 1871, as shown by
, House Journal, page 262. The title o
the Bill is as follows, (the italics show
the difference between the true titlC
and the Registers quotation Off
H. B. No. 496-By Mr.. Sayler from
the Committee on Common School
and School Lands-To provide for th,
reorganization, supervision and main
tenance of Common Schools.
The Bill comes from the Commit
tee on Common Schools, &c, and no
from Mr.. Sayler of Preble county, ant
