a QUESTION OF vERACIrY.

A few days ago we had an article
under the caption Retrospective" in
which we alluded to the somewhat
anomalous fact, that during the late
campaign, democratic papers and or
ators had furnished in advance of the
nomination of Tilden the strongest
arguments which republican speak
ers and papers used against Tilden
during the contest.
In the way of illustrating the force
of that statement, we made the fol-
lowing remark in said article:
Gwen our neighbor across the street
said before Tilden's nomination that
a man would be a dirty dog who
would support Tildcn, yet he was
whipped into the traces and support
ed Tilden."
To which the Times makes the fol-
lowing reply in its issue of the 9th
instant:
ssThe vile emissary of the internal
regions, who concocts sniveling apol-
ogies for government thieves in the
COURIER, asserts for the third time,
after we have once refutcd it, that we
called Tildcn dirty dog. We would
inform the COURIER man that his as
sertion is false, and if he would dis
play one-tenth part the talent to do us
justice, that he does in making inge-
NOUS defenses for fellow postmasters,
who have been caught thieving, we
would scarcely ever be called on to
correct his false assertions. Had we
ever applied the opprobrious epithet
of dirty dog" to Tilden, we would
now withdraw 1t, and apply it to the
unconscionable scribler."
Now then we call the attention of
the public, to the following article
published in the Ottumwa Times, on
the 9th day of June, 1876, being the
day the st. Lous convention assem-
bled:
"There is not tho remotest danger
of Tilden securing the nomination at
st. Louis unless he buys up the bum
mer delegates that have already been
chosen in some quarters. But If he
should get the nomination he will be
spurned as dirty dog, by the honest
men of the party and defeated by an
overwhelming vote. If, in the unac-
countable dispensation of Providence,
the working people are to be ground
down into the dust, it would be bet
ter to suffer what is shame to gov
eminent under republican than un-
der democractic administration"
1t will be observed that the CouRI-
Err paragraph which has SO enraged
our ncighbor, did not charge that the
Ottumwa Times had applied the APP
probrium "dirty dog" to Tilden. We
never made any such charge at any
time against him, SO that he has work
ed himself into passion and indulg-
ed in coarse epithets about the CoUR-
TER people on an imaginary issue.
We have published exactly what
the Times did say on the matter upon
which he raises question of veracity
with the COURIER, Now then if he
will be fair enough to publish this
rejoinder of ours, we will be perfect
ly willing to submit the question be-
tween us to jury composed of his
own readers, besides conceding to
him a monopoly of all abusive Ian
guage in the premises. Will it do
it?

ments OF the Russian main force I'M
der General Melikoff. Mnkhtar Pasha re-
ports in his official dispatches, which agree
with the latest advices from ErzeroUm,
that it is retreating; whereas telegram
from Kurhrarda, Of the same date, declared
that the Russian camp had advanced four
yersts. A Russian bulletin, however, ad-
mits that in the engagement OF August 20th
the Turks succeeded in capturing the heights
OF Kezeitepe, although their attempt TO
turn the Russian left was repulsed. AS
regards the engagements in which the
Erivan column were engaged on the Nth
and 2Sth of August at IgdYi, although
they may be in themselves unimportant, yet
they show that the Turkish right is ope-
rating on Russian ground; and though the
Turks may never advance step further,
yet il they should succeed in stopping the
Russians offensive for some weeks longer,
there il an end to it for this year.
