Mr.. EDITOR Il feel compelled to re-.

newspaper, whose editor, for lieing on a

was shaped and kicked in the street by
sad Repubhcan,. and Judge Gilpin, think
ing suppose, the pummelling SO lust.
only believe fined Mr.. Gallagher fifteen
dollars which was very high figure
| Now with regard to the slander against
| me. The peach growers Aaye held four
| meetings at Middletown on the four last
Saturdays, young man called Colclazer
come as reporter, asked him what
paper ne vas reporting for, and under
stooP hin to say some New York paper.
The first two meetings I took very little
| interest IN, but at the third meeting when
| found that the committee of two. B. Il.
Biggs and II. n. Willis, who was sent
| on to New York to try to get the cartiug
| reduced, had been so shabbily treated by
| the New York commission men, wrote
a preamble and resolution to meet tho
case, and at the third meeting, Saturday
the % OF July, 1 with permission read it
to the meeting. Mr.. Seweu C, Bipps
then moved that COMMITTEES of Eve be
appointed, and | as chairman of said
committee, to consider and report on my
preamble and resolution. l was appoint
| ed chairman, Sewell c. Biggs. Harry
Clayton, Thomas Cochran, Sr., and James
| Hart was appointed SAID committee. We
| retired and condensed the preamble, as
we we're short of time, but reported the
resolution in full, proposing to urge the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. to build sheds
in Jersey City and next year move the
peach markets there, and this resolution
passed the meetings three to one and
this said reporter in his report left out
the names Of the whole of this committee.
and said that very important resoiu-
tion was adopted but did not name the
committee that reported it and further
this verdent reporter stated and j: was
published in all the papers that copyed
it,that line had been opened to Boston.
and from Jersey City to the New Haven
Road at Harlem Bridge twelve miles, the
cars would be transported by Bdtteaur.-
Now who ever heard Of such nonsense. for
Batteauxs are fiat bottom boat from l2
TO l6 feet long generally, and they would
be pretty affairs to take on a car and
load of peaches about 20 to 25 tons. So
much for his greenness. Mr.. T. Budd,
true report, and last Saturday the 10th
INST, just as the meeting had nearly
broken up II. n. Willis, whether from
previous arrangement or not for bun
comb, offered 4 resolution thanking the
reporter Of the EUery Evenjng and Balti.
more SNn, fer his reports. This was
about the FIRST had heard that this
Cololazer was reporter for the Every
Lueninq aud Baltimore San. / at once
spoke upand said there had been n very
unjust report Of the meetings, and that
other papera had printed the proceedings
garbelled by this reporter, and that Mr..
Reynolds n those building we were then
holAinr the meeting, had a reporter, MIR.
E.aLo, tl Ell present and | though all pa-
per that published, should be included
in the resolution and it was done so, and
Croasdale because his Euerp Erening did
moi GET the whole credit, said in his last
night 5 paper that Mr.. Townsend's Oh
jections to Erery Ereaing, are of & purely
personal character, arising out Of meas
ures taken by this papers former pro-
prietors TO collect a debt from him. We
do not see how he can reasonably expect
the peach growers 20 esposs his quarrel.
Now IA reply to the article above quoted
from his paper. | say to the public and
particularly to Democrats, who have beea
taking this LUery Evening newspaper,
which Is 4 Republican wolf in sheep's
clothing. Last summer, just before Che
Democratic State Convention was held
al Dover, | was urged by Democrats to
publish a letter in the Eve1y Evening, as
it has circulation below among Demo-
Gratis, and delegates by reading said let
ter, could see how unjustly the regular
elected Democrats in this hundred had
heen treated, l sent said letter to the
Every Ereaiag, requesting it be published
next day, he did not carry out my order
nor write to me. bnt on the following

letter, which took up | tnlnk about half
a column, and afterwards sent me the
following bill:
