abuse and defamation Of honest

gracsgto himseH, the council and
the territory ! man with the de-
vsloped faculties Of an Iscariot and
! traitor to those l,s got TO favor
III schemes, lie has left q record
unparalleled in the history Of leg
nlation for tricks.
Such being the true character
81 TIE man, i u not to b wonder
"a thaE be attaaked the free schools
q Dskota and those engaged in
~ work. His investigation Of
~ Territorial Superintendent Of
Public Instruction was wholly nm
called fot, md reacted against the
virtno1s psttigrsw. The statute
spscidcAlly provides that the Ter
ritoEial Superintendent can APP
point : deputy, which was done.
III deputy resides il this city,
and, during the absence Of w. E.
Cation II Cheyenne Agency, the
work of the Office has been care
fully attended to. No money was
drawn except that allowed by law,
- ~ also the case with printing,
stationery &c, purchased for the
use Of said Office. The investiga.
ton made BY thehouse, where the
parties making the same were moi
lea by ! trick ster, say that tive
find these accounts were Of . kind
that ought to have been audited
nd that in auditing these accounts
90 auditor did his duty and con,
formed 70 the Inv. All the &C
counts of tho Territorial Superin.
tsndsnt Of public instruction which
tho law requires should be sworr
- and we're properly verified &C.
The attacks made by Pettigrev
enenated from q morbid desire Il
iniure somebody 50 that he nigh
rain notoriety. Had the account
q Superintendent been unjust tn
territorial auditor would have re
fussd TO audit the same. The Law
~ bsfore him. He knew Of tn
existence Of . deputy who was 81
lpnding "a the business Of th
sllcs, ana that the law gave til
lattsr ! right TO draw the salar.

not contsnt for men to have tn
rights given them by law Il
thought hs could gain = point b,
