The starr Controyersyf

Mr.. B. +. Tillinghast, editor of the Mo
line Reuieao, has taken up a big cudgel and
gone for j. C. Starr, in over column Of
solid nonpariel, in his paper last week. He
opens as follows:
For nearly two years the facts now to be present
ed have been Withheld from the public. Not because
they less true tne acts and course OF the Of
lending party LEES criminal and corrupt then tan
sons having knowledge If The circumstances in a
public controversy to which they were and are
averse. But the time has now arrived when silence
aud fOrbearance have ceased to be virtues, when
their very observance would arouse in many minds
unfavorable, if not uspicious doubts concerning
the one upon whom the stigma OF dishpn0r should
fall. Not until his own integrity was publicly as
persed and his statements characterized as calum-
nies, did the writer attempt to chow The motive
which inspired his assailant. This course having
been in tied it might, with prOplety. be said cha
lenged-f0r 1t does not result from choice, and is
acted upon in the spirit OF regret rather than that
of saiislacton-it will b. followed until the odium
OF disgrace, in Its full measure, rests upon ths
head of its owner.
And then, after column of letters, affl-
davits, ETC., all showing that Starr did at
tempt bribery, Mr.. Tllinghast closes as fol-
lows:
The writer has no disposition at this time to ex
haust he evidence at hand on the cadetship. Ii he
has succeeded in directing pnblic censure Where II
belongs, and fixing the brand of liar upon the man
whose persistent attempts at bribery have become
notorious, he will charitahy withhold other and
backer iniquites, whose record would touch to the
Quick the sensibilites of all honorable men and sup
ply new argument to the advocates OF total De
pravity. b. f.
This is the word with the bark on, anc
shows that somebody has got to take water
in this fight. There is some curiosity to
see whether Starr will cringe down under
it and be silent or resent it.
