yOssait again.

! was In hopes, after having noticed
the false statements, of the Journal
man, as found in the No dated, Oct,
18th "A, and had given him such a
severe fiagellation, to have been
saved the trouble Of repeating it so
soon again. Having made out my
Monthly Reports Of the 1nsti-
tute Funds ready for filing, in
the Treasurers Office and pre-
pared short notice for the press;
I steped over to the Journal
Office, and handed 1t to Mr.. Barker;
at which time he asked me, IL / had
sent In my Monthly Reports to the
Treasurers Office, rs required by
Law? / told him l had not. accord
ing to the strict letter OF the Law |;
but told him that matter was all
right, and the money would be on
hand tthe proper time. Mr.. Bar
ker came over to the Office the same
hour, and examined the eBooks; as IL In
haste TO publish me, asa DEFAULT
ER, before | could get my Report on
file, and did so; althouth told him
they were made. out and ready 10
fiie. -
"IIe that hasteth his feet, sim
eth" Soon after filed my Reports
In the Office, and paid up all the
claims, So am not Dollar behind
with the Institute funds.
Mr.. Barker has nm object In select.
ing me, out from among all the 9TH
or Officers, rs the target Of his yilu-
perations, and that Is, doubtless he
fears I have too many friends, so
near Election times. The truth Is,
although Mr.. Barker claims to be an
honest man, (which claim Is not
worth two half cts, and would do TO
others, rs he would be done by, yet
il IL clearly to be seen that he IL de-
termined that shall have no fair
showing before the Republican Con-
vention, or the Election this fall.
But that we leave for the people to
say; and as this barking Journal man
claims TO be the REPuBLICAN PAR
rY, he may find his mistake, and the
Party become satisfied that Ae Is
nothing but bogus coin rather
squshy, after all his bowling. But
while he claims to be head and
shoulders higher than any other man
in this REPUBLICAN RING, In
Knoxville, who have been laying
their wires, and preparing their net
work, to fool tho country people,
and control the Republican Party
this fall, as they have done for some
years past thinking doubtless they
will have nice time this fall, and
Of course, shout victory over the
s!owliness dullness and stupidity OF
the country people; may possibly
find themselves mistaken, In some
Of their calculations
l think IL is time for the citizens,
and people Of this County who have
the right Of suffrage, to look to this
matter Immediately, and bust up
this politicai ring and (om nest Of In
iquity, and let truth, and righteous
ness, which exhalt a nation prevail; (;

William Welsh, Esq. Of Philadel-
phin, humanitarian and humbug, has
fired on his sixth and last squib, at
the Indian business. For lavish
assertion of fraud! fraud! fraud !
everywhere In the country where the
government has had anything TO do
with the Indians through its Agents,
no hustler and more persistent voice
has been raised to allege II than Mr..
Welsh. His charges fell thick and
fast upon the devoted heads of agents,
contractors, Indian Commissioner,
Secretary and Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior Department. At times
he was specific in his statements, Civ
ing names, dates, and localities; but
when challenged by denial he wholly
failed tn prove his charges. This is
not satisfactory. Every opportunity
was offered to Mr.. Welsh, by the in
vesiigating committe, to sustain his
allegations against Soc. D%elano, Sec.
Cowan, Commissioner Smith and
others, but he would not come for
ward with his proofs. When two
members of the commission propO- ed

him, upon the wholesale charges of
fraud he had been and was making
against these gentlemen, he tele-
graphed that they need not come, a

may be n very correct and proper
sort of person, and his statements IN
titled to respectful consideration /; but
the rule that n man should he well
acquainted with his subject before he
undertakes TO discuss it, and will
state the truth in regard to it when
he speaks, does not relieve him from
the necessity of establishing his allie
cations and statements by proper
evidence, when they are denied. He
must do this or his assertions should
Hot have much weight with fair
mind d people. Fraud is a fact-and
is the opposite of fair, honest and
just dealing and it is susceptible Of
proof. In courts of law the allega-
lion of fraud when denied, throws
upon The party making the allegation,
the burden Of proving it. Welsh,
however, has only asserted that such
aud such existed. His naked word
would not be taken by the invcsti-
eating committee, nor VIII it be by
sensible people anywhere. Welsh
has failed for want of proof. lie and
Prof. Marsh can stand aside.
