Editor Of lhc Clinton R'PHJlicda;
In Observation-Disclosures appeared IN
your last issdr, headed ~Judgc Mayer
called on thc witness stand for cross
examination" and signed BY Charles
Is. Mccormick, a reference IS made To
me which desire to brand us false
and Infamous libel upon the integrity
Of Judge Mayer and myself
Tho writer says: "Wlhyou now an
swer and state how often, between the
time YOU were sued, aud the time the
suit against you, under rule OF your
Court, was non pressed, because OF The
oversight OF the new City Solicitor
(mcaning myself, who was tue success
'orof Hon. $. r. Pcalc), yon appointed
him to the Office Of Auditor, aud other
valuable Offices and what was the val.
nc TO him of such appointment The
question contains an intimation that |
was induced by bribery TO allow non
pros to be entered in the case. No ad
vcrsary suit was broughtagainst Judge
Mayer, but 1t was an amicablc action
entered by agreement OF parties, filed
March, 1871. See the records Of the
Court 10 No. 6G, May Term, 1871 =
Thcease was pending iours years before
the non pros was entered.
As City Solicitor | examined the
case, and was satisfied the suit cUuld
not be maintained, and the case was
abandoned long before the non pros
was entered Judge Mayer always de
MED his liability TO tho city, and he
never solicited me in any manner u
have the suit non pressed, nor was IN
fluenced in any manner, directly or IN
directly, by him or any one else for
him, not to prosecute the case.
My character, and that OF Judge
Mayer, in this community is too well
established 10 be affected by the mali
cious assaults of Mccormick and his
ally. pronounce The charges made as
hJeious, scdnddl0uS and infamous, and the
writer deserves at the hands OF the so
ters If this district, who value theil
own regulations, mclited rebuke
which he will undoubtedly receive on
the Fifth day of November next.
