Seriously, Mr.. Editor, a Dewspape
controversy in which you have to wa
against the world, the flesh, aud Duel
I Creek, il exceedingly distastefGi.
The charge of corruption brought n
boldly against me, plvo's Itself upor
the disposition made of the eighty min,
dollars and twenty-five cents.
The rubioiDe,i statement of our ELI
Client assistant county clerk, Mr.. Thack
er, will show the disposition made o
; that amount.
Mr.. Editor, / regret exceedingly Il

long To a family against which no sucf
an STACK las ever made. While my
past life may have been thickly stud
ded with faults, IL is the fret tune tina
such vile and slanderous insiD1atioi
was ever breathed against me, Know
ing that the charges urged against III.

false, and conscious Of my innocence
could scorn and Gefy them all. bu
there are others ''nesTer to me thar

heart" for whose sake | wish thai
such bsse, such infamous, such vii
famous assaults had been spared.
