CORRESPONDENCE.
a Letter From Houston Co.-Fosness, the
Liar, Described and Dissected-How he
Sneaked Around Caledonia Hunting
up Facts Against Mr.. Buell..
HoKAH, Houston Co., MIMI, Oct. 10, rs.
Editor Aats-Monopoltst:
have read your newspaper for the last two
Or three months, and have also read each week
tie Weekly Pioneer Press, and as YOU seem to
invite correspondence, l thought would give
you my views on the different letters that YOU
have published since the nomination OF John
S. Pillsbury and David L. Buell., the respective
opposition candidates for Governor | notice
very able correspondent to the Pioneer-Press,
"Casslus, who Las written some remarkably
tne letters, and OF these letters wish to say
word. He accused MIR. Buell. of being money
lender, which little item was proven to be
false, and "CassluS" called to account for the
same. The certificate of Register of Deeds of
Houston county was published, showing that
MT. Cassius" was i'll error, and that there was
not single foreclosure in Buell's name III this
county. Well, Mr.. Editor, in my opinion,
this all ought to be dropped and something
new introduced. "Cassius" was proved to be
miserable liar, and that ought to satisfy
Buells friends at least
Well, the Pioneer Press didn't seem to think
that was enough, SO they must come out and
heap burning Goals on the head of poor "Cas-
slus' by saying that the charges were preferred
by Cal rlcature partisan looking through the
eyes OF green goggles, etc. Now don't think
1t is either right or just to thus abuse "Cas-
sius." AS tor my part | rather like to read his
correspondence; 1t is well got up, and fair

nells orders Well there is nothing wrong in
being mail agent that we Can see from this
standpoint. We wish that we were a mail
agent. gettinga good salary, perquistes, &c.
MI Cassius' Is also accused OF being Scan
dinavlan. Well, what is the odd, if he is hap
Ply, what cOuntry1nan he is9
In all the correspondence between Mr.
"Cassios and the different parties who have
answered him, there has only one little item
been proven, and that is that "Cassius" is a
notorious liar. Vol, why abuse him any
further! He has done Mr.. Pillsbury much in
jury, and MIR. Buell. very much good. As Mr.
Pllsbury is accused in this section of hiring
"Casslus" to do the dirty work for him. |
for one can't blame "Cassius'' for the part he
has taken, and won't blame him if he fol-
lows the thing through as he has commenced;
for the flesh is weak, and not one of US perfect.
We are born with our weak points, and are not
great many cases. We certainly should guard
against our weaknesses, but at the same time,
when our daily bread is to be earned by pleas
ing such men as John S. pillsbury and Mark
Il. Dunnell, shortcomings should be over
looked. We hope and trust that "Cassus''
may retain the good will of his masters, Pills
bury. Dunnell & Co., and that they may adj
vance his salary from time to time, as he may
deserve; this is the worst that we wish fol
"Cassius, the liar"
In conclusion would say that as the time is
short before election land MS Mr. Pillsbury has
been hurt good deal. by the nonsensical lie:
referred toy if Mr.. Pillsbury has a friend who
can tell lis some truths about him or about Mr.
Buell., for or against either of them, we would
like to have HIM come oct and do so; as after
so many lies little truth would be such
change. We love the truth down here in
Houston county, therefore the letters Of ''Cas-
sus" are disgusting.
