The F0ot-Prints OF a Traitor.
The people of Doniphsn County are engaged
in legal contest, the object of which is to free
them from an unjust indebtedness OF at least
$oOO, 900, which, with the interest, will, at ma
turity, amount to over 100000 Half million
dollars is q sum of no trifiing Importance to he
people of Doniphan County. We have repeat
elly called the attention of the public to the
course of the Troy Bulletin, in misrepresenting
the County Board in their efforts in this matter
endeavoring to create dissatisfaction among the
people, by means of falsehoods; and in giving
aid and comfort to the bondholders, by creating
divisions among toe people. 1t has done this,
while protesting to he great friend OF the tax
payers. All these things were plain to those
who took the trouble to read the Bsileiis. II
there are any who were slow to believe that the
editor of the Bslleia would, in his spite against
the Commissioners, deliberately under take to
betray the interests of the people, by thwarting
the efforts of the Board to obtain liberal COM
promise of the bonds, let them consult the at
torneys who have just been in attendance upon
the Circuit Court in connection with the bond
suits, aud they will be furnished with evidence
that will damn the traitor. The story they tell
is this:
Hon. A. L. Williams, of Topeka, is the attor-
ney of the bondholders, in the suit against the
County. His business is law. and he has taken
the case as any lawyer would; but he is an
honorable man, and despises meanness and
treachery. In u conversation with Messrs. Price
and Perry, Mr.. Williams remarked: as your
man up there, who edits the Bulletin, q fraud or
traitor; or what is hei do not take his paper;
but he has been sending me copies, with editori
ais marked, in which he attacks the Commits
sion ers for their action in this bond natter
Mr.. Williams went on to say, that these marked
articles being sent to him, the known attorney
against Doniphan County, by citizen of the
County, seemed to him to say, rs plainly as if
written in so many words: "You see your eli
ents have friends in the County, who are will
ling to work for them, if they will extend any
encouragement" He continued, that he was
fighting for his clients on legal principles, and
did not feel disposed to gain advantag, IS by brib
ing traitors to the people.
There yon have the miserable creature expos
ed in all his nakedness. While being supported
by the people of the County, lie is plotting to
sell them out, in order that he may glory in the
failure of the County Board, and perhaps make
q little fee for himself. For the truth Of these
statements, we refer any doubters to Judge Price
or Mr.. Perry. If The fact could be ascertained,
we have no doubt that marked copies of the Bull
etin have been sent to the holders of ths bonds
themselves, in order to encourage them to push
their suits.
We have repeatedly said that that man would
sell ont Jesus Christ for q small price. That
opinion is confirmed, every day in the year.
