In the Times Of Tuesday appears an ar

caption Of immaculate Impudence, "
who ever heard Of npUdenc, being M
Ral,iate) which purports to he an inter
view with person named Charles Orleans,
not, however,
THE DCC DE ORLEANS,
but one Of more humble origin, but no less
/ preteutious. The article in the Times
treats its readers to rehash uf the old
sore between his i Excellancy, Charles the
First, and Mr. Micheal O'Donahue," the
particulars Of which appeared in the Apvo-
CATE Of the 3Ist ult The article in ques
ton dIscluses as
FOUL A CONSPIRACY
As was ever concocted by the mind Of man
Orleans batlied and defeated III his ef
forts Ia drag HIS EMPLOYER into the courts,
and possessing more money than BRAINS,
seeks the consolation and advise Of limb
Of the law, and with and by the advise
and consent Of the herein and before men
toned limb Of the law,
THE woULD-BE TYKANr
renews his efforts to prosecute working
man. ana in this he is seconded by the
lnouthpiece If capital, the Times, who
sends special Reporter to condole with,
and PUT IN shape the bad English Of his
Excellency The Reporter arrived at the
stated time, and were both closeted together,
presenting the curious spectacle Of
TWO SHEEP HEADS IN COUNCIL
The Reporter introduced himself Cac-
cording to the report, saying he wanted
fun particulars, and gave what he asserts
to be tIcts Bat which are, as VIII be
shown hereafter, gross misrepresentation
IF the whole affair As We stated before,
1t is not proposed rehash the matter, the
object being to deal with some Of the most
important statements made by = Orleans
His assertion that he was q partner Of
Mr. Deakman is an absurdity Of itself
It he was a partner III the bona iie sense
IF the term, Mr. Deakman could not have
dissolved the partnership before the legal
term expired, however much the Stone
Cutters Association might have desired it,
the law would have protected him
and compelled Mr. Deakman To
have retained him i'll his firm But
Mr. Orleans was not partner Of the
firm IF Deakman a Co., his posi-
ton was that Of foreman or Superint .ui,tt,
receiving as compensation a per cent az on
the un,o,u.t II ,cork done. In regard I" his
statement relating to
Mr.. DEAKMAS
being compelled by the Stone Cutters
Association, To dissolve the partnership ex-
listing between him and the firm Of Dcak
man a Co, there is not a word Of truth
in it, When Mr. Deakman was made
aware Of the action pursued by Orleans,
he, If his own free will, and without any
coercion upon the part Of the Association,
withdrew from the suit, and IN order that
mo- further trouble should arise between
him and his men, promised to discharge
Orleans and did 80. The
ADMISSIONS OF ORLEANS
To- the Reporter who interviewed him. show
conclusively that Mr. ODonahue acted in
strict compliance with the wishes Of the
men in the yard, and his duty as President

out the rules and regulations Of the Associa-
ton. This, it appears he did, and nothing
more. Orleans in
HIS AFFIDAVIT
swore he was not member Of the As
ISOLATION, and had no connection with it ;
and t. the Reporter he admitted that he
was sort Of honorary member 1t would
be interesting to know how Mr.. Orleans
| became an honorary member, if he had
not been
An ACTIVE MEMBER.
This would be where 1.-The fun uouid
come in. If Mr.. Orleans would rise to ex-
plain, but it would be so funny to him,
that he will not do 50. Nor will he ex-
plain how he became, or is an owner Of Mr.
] Deakman's yard Will that
ORACLE OF FUN
open his mouth, and throw some light upon
these funny things Now his specu ations
concerning what TRANSFERRED in the Associa-
ton are simply absurd, and are nothing
more than reflections and aspersions on the
character Of the men.
As a member of the Association he
knows very well that what transpires, after
the meeting has been called to order, is
not allowed TO be made known to any one
who is not an active member Of the Asso-
clation, and his assertions to the contrary
are made with view TO sowing discord
and creating suspicion among the men.
This, as the lawyers would say, will rest
the case with Mr. Orleans, and lei it be
hoped that when

essays to control working men to satisfy his
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, that he will be
met with the same independent spirit,
and be taught the same lesson.
