VIZ TAKE IT ALL BAcK.-1f there Is

WE TAKE IT ALL BAcK.-lf there Is
anything in the world a man don't like
it is to be exposed. If every mans
deeds were written over his eye
brows, hats would be worn low down
On mems foreheads. We have chance
to avoid exposure. as will be seen by
the following letter. We graciously
accept the proffered olive branch, and
take it all back. We are prepared to
keen on continually taking it all back.
II ever we have said anything we ought
to be sorry for we are glad Of it, and
trust our apology may prevent the
threatened exposure. Lest our readers
NAV not know what we are talking
about, we will state that we some two
months since published an item of the
discharge of conductor named Holley
from the service OF the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and the reason for that
discharge. Because of that publication
the sanguinary Holley proposes to invade
the sanctity OF our breast, tear it open
and expose its deepest, darkest secrets to
the public gaze. Werespectfully request
Holley to don't. Unwilling as we are
10 quit Wheeling at this time, we urge
on Holley to lay his hand on his COB
and put his COB in the mud-that's not
the language, but it's the sent iment-
that the exposure may be delayed until
after we are elected to Congress. Then
It won't make so much difference, for
we will be focking with other birds,
who have been exposed so often that
they are used to it.
Holley is deuced sly, Holley is. 1t
will be observed that he don't sign his
name to his letter, like a noble, open
hearted exposist, but acts a good deal
like one who would stab man in the
back and call it fair fighting. 1t grieves
us to think the noble Holley might be
considered sneak, yet he signs his
letter "E. P. r." while the writing
compares exactly with that on the Nc
Lure House register, where the names
of Mr. and Miss Jane Brigs' are re-
corded.
That little bit about the widow
woman" is we'll put in. Ever since we
have been in the printing business we
have boarded with widow women. II
it were gwen us to choose between I'M
mediate and sudden death and board
ing with a widow woman, we would say
in tones of determination and despera
ton, "Let us board with a widow wo'
man, though it breaks her up" But
we keep our readers from the letter:
COLUMBUS Spept the II.
Mr. Clarkson Sir / think you want
TO keep your credit good where you are
YOU will take back the lie you published
a gainst Holly few weeks 60 it is a
lie and can be prove 10 be such for the
Lady stated her self that he did not say
or do any thing out of the way to her
we have her word for it and can prove
it it is another one of yor dirty mean
tricks the Edators here did not recog
Mise it at all tina thought it a mean
trick in you we have goton yor peta
gree for several years back and it will
be put in print if you don't take back
your false hood you had better pay
your board bill here that you ow a
widow woman before you publish lies
on others and quit Citing tipsy you don't
remember OF the report coming out thai
YOU had to be hauld or wheeled home
on a wheel barrow you don't think that
vor mean tricks are as well known as
they are there is a plenty came out tc
start YOU from from where you ar and
it will be sworn to before one ofthe city
officers so you can do as you please take
back yor lie or be published in and
other paper no more + 7 II
Now let us see if Holly or ltolley's
friend, will keep his word. We take il
all back. Will the exposure be thereby
prevented? We tremble as we think
that we are in the clutches of one who
knows no mercy.
