meeting would have to be postponed.
A rally was, however, made through the in
spring music of the Pole bearers band, and

EDITORS APPEAL-A great deal has been
said and written about the officers of the
criminal court, in collecting their fees, having
been oppressors of the poor. Now, Messrs.
Editors, | am poor man and hard work
ing man, and about two years ago, when no
canvass was pending in the county, was in
dicted for failing to settle as guardian"
General l.. B. Horrigan defended me in the
trials that followed said indictment, and did
so without charging me one cent for his serv-
ices. Il had at that time just recovered from
a long sickness.) The case was dismissed at
my cost, execution issued against me for the
costs, and | was in the custody of the sheriff,
to be taken to Jail for non payment Of said
costs, when, without solicitation, Messrs. G.
L. Anderson, sheriff; N. c. Perkins, clerk,
and General Wright, prosecuting attorney,
voluntarily RENTED their several costs. |
make this statement In simple justice to the
parties whose names are mentioned above.
Respectfully, A. B. JEWELL.

EDITORS APPEAL-The bills of costs pub
lished, together with. criticisms on the Off
Gals of the criminal court, may possibly be
used to my injury. l, therefore, desire to
state briefly the facts connected with these
two cases. The defendant in the cases al
luded to leases 641 and 1881 was indicted for
gaming. He submitted his cases. At the
same time representations were made to
Judge Logwood that he had quit the bust
ness, and desired to follow a legitimate pur-
suit Judge Logwood, who had at first fined
him ten dollars, ordered his Judgment
changed to not guilty, on defendants paying
the costs. Every one informed upon the
subject knows Inat .iIo v'oIa .i1S &c cccee-c!!
over the court, and simply obeys its orders.
The intimation or inuendo that there was any
neglect of duty on my part in the premises
is utterly without foundation. The action of
the court affected my fees of office In no way,
and I onlU did what my dntv rp0uIrpd in an
tering the judgment The records Of the
court are open for inspection, and | respect
fully invite a full investigation of them, as
we'll as every other act of my official career.

Is General Vaughan on the Radical
Gard sayst
EDITORS APPEAL-In answer to the above
we must take his own statement at the Goa
liti0n meeting In the eighth ward on Monday,
the twenty second instant, where he said: ~
hold In my hand the platform and ticket of
the National party, and, my friends, | want
you to do as / shall do at the ensuing cleo
tion-work for and support the whole ticket.
If this Is not committing himself to every
thing at variance with his past life, how
much farther can we expect, or, rather, IN
sorrow fear he may go IN order to get that
which his new party and himself denounces-
the spOilS Of office? General Vaughan, to the
extent he went with the Confederates, was a
good soldier-there were many such. We
grieve his loss, as we did that of Longstreet,
but his comes too late even to be placed
among the Latter Day Saints. Spells Of office
is ais only call Toe Confederates tried with
earnest endeavors to elevate him to Office in
Marshall county, Mississippi, from whence he
hailed; but he, unlike Lee at Gettysburg, did
not say Never mind; all this has been my
fault; it is that have lost this fight, and you
must help me out OF it the best way you can"
but still seeks the spoils Of office from whom
ever he can. CHIcKAMAUGA.
