tho sta,us Of the Blodgett case:
"a short expression which fell from
Judge Montgolnery's lips. in delivering
bis opinion, has caused tho securities OF
Eodgstt to file a now bill. It wus in this
wlso: The execution was issued against
tho parties by the Com ptroller- General,
based on the amount found against
Blodgott by tho committee; and Judge
M. remarked, i'll substances, that he sup
posed, and would take it for granted, the
Comptroller General had Investigated
the account on which he had issued tho
execution and found it CORRECT; upon
which the attorneys for the parties pray
ing the injunction took on idea, and on
inquiry found thnt tho Comptroller
Geueral had not, in fact, audited tho ac.
count. but had only based his execution
upon the finding of the committee.
"The amended bill alleges that The ao-
connt must be carefully audited by the
Comptroller himself before he can issue
the warrant. while the attorneys for tho
State claim that the Comptroller is fully
authorized and required by law to issue
executions upon the finding aud return

Gov. Perry Again.

The Hon. B. F. Perry is out in a COM
munication this morning, in reply to our
comments upon his late letter to the
Conservative voters of the Fourth Con-
gressional District. We regret very
much to differ with. and much more to
offend. one whom We respect so highly
for sterling qualities of head and heart
as the Hon. B. F. Perry. We feel
strongly averse to engaging in any con-
troversy with him, and would not have
commented on his letter, in tho first
place. but that, from the fact of its being
originally published il tho columns Of
the PHOENIX, failure to dissent in any
way might have been construed into an
endorsement on our part of views which,
with due Difference to the writer, we
deem to be both nnsound and dangerous.
We do not think that we have advanced
any new 'oode Of morals" in declaring
an attempt to forcs free people into q
certain why OF voting. Ly starving them
10 death, is wrong. Ex-Gov. Perry
seems to have fallen into The Jesuitical
error OF assuming that "the end justifies
the MEANS" We agree with him per-
fectly, that it is very desirable nay, alb
solutely necessary-for the future welfare
OF tho State, that the oolored people
should be convertad from the present
errors OF their political ways-that they
should be dissuaded from making rulers
OF men only worthy of being conyicts.
and ehould unite with the white pcopie
in inaugnratiDg measures of reform and
economy in the Government. We do
not believe, however, in starving them.
or forcing them at all, into such health.
ful frame of mind. Freedom OF opinion
is the dearest object Ut our republican
institntions-too dear. by far, to be saeri.
6ced even for the good object aimed at
By the Hon. 3. T. Perry. The question
to us is SO plain, that the statement of it
alone is sufficient to convince any reflect
ing mind that our view of it is the cor
rect one. We shall let the matter drop
here on our part.

throwing off the ehaokles imposed upon

condition and strive to alleviate it..
But this cannot and will not be done as
long as credit is given to such partisan
misrepresentation. wilfully pervertipg
the facts by ascribing our poverty and
misfortunes to the accident of birth and

staple productions, full refntation can be
