THE ATTACK ON THE IsRAELTIEs.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The Pioneer Press in its columns of yesterday
has seen fit t. reply to my communication in
this paper where justly criticised communi.
cation signed 'Palo Pintra.'' The editor of
the Pioneer Press seems pleased to apply to me
some complimentary names; will however

cate, as could use the same names to greater
advantage regarding the one who has penned

Is great deal more difficult to uae sound argu-
ment to refute any statement. I am also of
the opinion that it requires more competence
than posaess to teach him who has written
these lines in the Pioneer Press good manners
or the first pr,nciples IF religion. I have spok-
en- in my communication in the highest terms
complimentary to the public press and beg
no pardon that intended in it the Pioneer. I
expressed my astOnishment that such q COM
mnnication as signed ''Palo Pintrs'' could ap-
pear In that paper but I see now was mis-
taken.
The Pioneer Press is pc, fectly at liberty to
eide upon it's future course, to speak for or
against the Israelites. We ask no favor in this
regard. Neither do I bt lieve that it's influence

tn threaten the Pioneer Press with vengeance.
There is possibly not he slightest truth in it.
The Jewish minister never favors vengeance, and
even if he wOnld. he would not influence bis
people to exclude this or that newspaper, now
ia it his province to interfere at all in the said
mattere. If anvOna has written an annymous
letter he has done it without authority for no

past week. But if the editor thinks for one mo-

mistaken Shortly before left New Haven

the union, the editor of the Journal and
Courier a truly influential and we'll edited

1t is gratifying for us to state that liberay in re-
liRion and good feeling between the different denom-

pecialy verified since the last few year and
glad to record it, There is fraternsl sister cause
between our different city pastors, which is as it
should be What ten years ago seemed to he npos-
-ible has now occurred several times. Rev De-
Wechsler the ular rabbi of the Court st Get tenn

preached to large congregation an elegant sermon,
which again we take pleasure n publishing in full.
L made great impression. It was most elegantly
delivered and truly liberal in its tone. Rev Dr.
Wechsler has made himself an enviable name BY

his congregation, but he is appreciated and beloved
by the whole community. His articles in the pagers

Besides this have Testimonials from such

said in my behalf When left Columbus tn
entire ministry passed resolutions recommend
ing me as an able preacher an advocate of jus
tice and worthy the support of all good men,
irrespective OF party and religi n. But have
said more than should in this improbable
controversy, which neither sought nor ex
pected. have simply done my duty to refute
unjust assertions made against my people,
without intending to assail the least the Pho
neer rress. nor anybody else. am never per-
N'nal in. any matter where 1 am concerned.
The Pioneer Press is welcome to all SANDER and
abuse against me, az follow in this regard a
palmadica) advice: n ither care for the
honey. nor for the sting from such source.
and herewith the controversy is ended, as l
shall not notice in the future anything that
may appear in the Pioneer Press.
