late seen statements about this people
and country in your paper which the
facts did not verify according TO my in
formation, the last of which was in yours
of the 18th inst, quoted from ST. Louis
Times, headed "a Brutal Outrage" and
then goes on % say that Mr.. j. ID. Ogles-
by was not compelled to resign the pres

cised from the common civilities and
courtesies of social life, resident and

the terrible rebuke struck home as none
other could, and that now he laid at the

Mr.. Oglesby is president of u national
bank and has, from Kellogg who was
created governorby us. Judge Durel. all
the state deposits, 81, 900, 900 to 81, 100000
of the states money ON deposit all the
time. The state, having repudiated since
Kellogg usurped the government, pays
none of its debts.
Oglesby testified before the Foster
congressional committee that the state
and city had not been more prospered
in the last twenty-five years, than now
when there are 5000 dwellings and stores
in this city for rent, and many stores and
dwellings do not rent for enough to pay
the taxes, and within the past two years
both the state and city have refused to
pay any of their debts. | saw few days
since, young lady, school teacher, sell
a voucher Of the city, of $50, one months
salary, for S15. If Mr.. Oglesby had testi-
fed otherwise his maker, Kellogg, would
have repudiated him.
No one here knows that he, Og-
lesby lies at the point of death, or that
a depositor left his bank The state,
Kellogg, certainly deposites them. The
lieut.. governor, postmaster, state treas
urer, all darkies, the majority of the
members of the legislature now in ses-
sion, mostly colored, all the carpet bag
gers who run the state and every state
office of what ever kind, deposits there by
order of Kellogg, doubtless, if not he
would lose his head.
The kellogg party claim majority
in the state. Oglesby is one of them.
Allthe supreme court judges, and every
other judge in thestate belongto Kellogg.
He bought the chief justice of the state
about two years ago by giving him 5000
600 in state bonds to build a railroad.

He, Kellogg, owns every judge in the
state and is power, but this is not a re-
