Compare records, says the crea-
ture Of the iSentind of last evening.
No! we can't; we never could descend
20 low. Our sins are the sins Of the
times and our own; our poverty is no
disgrace. Our record in the past is
without official or personal blemish.
We served the Confedency with our
finest manhood, and there are good
and true old soldiers in this city to
testify to our courage and devotion.
Now, how is II with you-"City edi-
tor Of the .Ssnimelr Your record in
Texas we have named as hellish-let
the facts sustain us, Your indictment
runs thus in Texas: You seduced a
woman in Galveston, and you are the
father Of her bastard boy, never sup
porting either mother or child. In
the same city you robbed a poor wid-
ow, with five orphan children, Of $500
do you deny these charges? If you
do you are liar.
You went to Austin and engaged in
the newspaper business; you were ad-
mitted to the reporters table in the
House and Senate Of the Thirteenth
Legislature-and for unheard.of black
guardism published in the Houston,
Tex, Union, you we're compelled to
sign a :'libel" and expelled from the
reporters tables, the lobby and gale
ries Of the Thirteenth Texas Legisla-
ture. DO you deny this' II you do
you are common liar.
During your sojourn in Austin, you
you rented the City Hotel bar, and
entered into a conspiracy with your
next door neighbor-Blomeke-to de-
feat internal revenue. Blomeke had
some fine whisky and a beautiful
niece. The whisky was passed thro'
the wall through pipe; you received
and sold the whisky under your Ii
ccnse, pOcketed the money and seduc-
ed Blomeke's niece. Do you deny !
thisi If you do, you are lar.
You were in Jail in Austin, and on |
a bare technicahty of law escaped the
penitentiary. Do you deny this Ifl
you do, you are a liar.
You betrayed the confidence of the
founder Of the Sentinel, when he an
nouuced you as a gentleman, and you |
failed to maintain the character. Do
you deny this? The whole people Of
Hot Springs in one voice pronounce
you a iiar.
You have DETAINED absent enemies.
and, when they have demanded an
explanation, you have, like the truck
ling coward that You are, apologized
calling your brutal attacks "facetia"
do you deny this' II you do, you
are liar.
You have tried to dig up the dead
TO sustain graveyard ring; you have
assaulted DIR. Horn for a difference of
opinion; you have attempted to throw
filth on DIR. Keller; you have denoun-
ced some OF the first men of Little
Rock, as "imbeciles" and "asses." Do
you deny this? If you do, you are
liar.
Every thing respectable excites your
envy and your malice, because the
doors of respectability have long ago
been closed against you, since you en-
tered the estate of man.
PERSONAL.
II every hair on the body Of the
Sentinel man was gold, he could not
pay his debts in Galveston, Houston,
Austin and San Antonio, Texas. If
the senior editor Of the Sentinel will
pay us the money he stole from us in
twomonths' partnership, we would
not owe a dollar IN the town. If the
city editor of the Sentinel feels ag
grieved at our honest talk, we can be
found on the boulevard--ready for
the transaction of important business.
