THE POLICE WAR.

my last communication / had fully in
tended not allowing myself to be
drawn into any further paper contro-
versy in the matter of the late jewelry
robbery, butas l.. r. Kelly has thought
proper to play the roll of old hen and
mother the chickens SO worthy of him
self, and by the cunning subterfuge of
attacking me personally, very harm
lessly, l will admit, considering tie
source, thus endeavoring to avert the
attention of the community from the
real subject at issue, l can not permit
his production, which is a misrepre-
sentation of facts from beginning to
end, to pass unnoticed. The motive
imputed to me by him for the part l
have taken in the matter is a fabrica-
ton of his shallow Imagination, I'M
substantiated by facts. / DEFY him to
point to a single act of mine that
justifies him with any degree of truth
in imputing to me the motive of jeal-
ousy or pecuniary gain in the matter.
| have passed nearly the last ten years
of my life in this State, the last five
in this community, and no one who
has known me can point to a single
act of mine which the most honest
amongst us need blush to father. This
/ consider sufficient recommendation,
without building n reputation on the
| errors of others, be they accidental or
criminal. AS regards my aspirations
in the future, which appear to be of
so much IN to Mr.. X, / will
merely remark that / shall not aspire
to any position in which / can not give
full satisfaction at any IN and at
all times to those most deeply inter-
ested. SO utterly has Mr.. X. disre-
garded the truth in this "merit-
orious production" of his that i'm
quoting from the communication of
"Citizen" he substitutes for the words:
ain Justice to other officers, who are i'm
no way mixed up in the matter" the
words, 'other officers, who are afraid
of being mixed up in the scandalous
affair."" In this latter expression his
very elastic conscience got the better of
him and prompted him TO use language
the most appropriate to the OCCASION.
As regards my nationality, | have, at
least, as lust cause to he proud as he.
Why not? Nature made me an Eng
glishman, while, perchance, he was
born a citizen of the United States. !
am subject To the same laws as he. and
l claim, WIN one solitary exception,
all the privileges allowed him by those
laws. DO holu appointment under
the Sheflti OF thls county, ana l shall
so continue 10 do as long as | can hon
estly perform the duties devolNing on
me to his satisfaction and to the com
tnunity ut large. One thing Is certain:
shall never ask nor expect him TO
shield me FROM the result Of my
wrongful acts by the responsibility CT
his bondsmen. Mr.. X. uses the term
moral perjury" n says. II do not
Ike to use so strong language, neither
do /, Tor appearance sake, * o Gala
lackass a horse" ! Will 20 even fur
ther: ! cannot, even for the sake OF Ell
iect. so lar insult the long cared race
as to call the seinb ,ance OF humanity
Jacsass. ID use of the word ''inoraf'
almost leads me TO the conclusion mat
Mr.. n. dld not compose the article
over his Signature. What role does he
assume, Beecher or TiltonY But what
has all this TO DO with the SUBJECT mat
ter at lssleY The facts OF the case are
these: Two spanish women were
