were furnished the public printer as copy.
The School Law bill for an act was
printed as originally drawn, bat before
becoming law it was amended and these
amendments were not printed.
In furnishing copy the printed Dill ior
the law was taken as in other case' 90"
the unnrinted amendments overlooked
will here state for the benefit Oh the
public, and especially to those "no '
have their judgments warped cy INC uu'
fair criticisms of the SENTINEL EDITORIAL
that these particular errors and all Others
that nav have occurred will be fully and
completely corrected by NOR" careful
reading. and comparing the law as printed
with the original acts now on file In my
office: and all errors carefully noted in an
".rratan which shall be printed and
nssted in a conspicuous place in each
volume of the printed laws.
These errata will be sent by mail to
each individual to whom copies of the
laws have already been sent.
At this time the session laws, as printed,
are being proof read by Hon. T. J. Butler.
the most careful and competent proof
reader in the city of Prescott.
Mr.. Butler will carefully note any err
ror that may have been overlooked by
the other proof readers, and the. errors
printed and pasted in each volume as
above stated.
Imay further add that no detriment has
occurred to the Public School interests Of
the Territory, nor has any county or COM
munity suffered in the least degree on az
count of this error in printing the School
Law.
The Superintendent of Public Schools
very soon after the passage of the School
Law caused the same 10 be printed in
pamphlet form, and passed these pamph-
lets Immediately into the hands of all the
school officers in the Territory. This
pamphlet copy of the School Law was
printed as the law was passed.
The Territorial Public, School Board
made an apportisnment of the school
moneys for the quarter ending June Both,
1879, and this apportionment was made in
accordance with the law as passed, and
not MS printed.
| If you were aware of these last facts
then how manifestly unfair your recent
criticisms. If you were ignorant Of them
then you ought to be criticized for your
negligence in not learning the truth.
In answer to that part of your unmanly
article which constructively charges me
with the crime of purposely tampering
with and altering the laws, will simply
say you must do one of two things:
First. Make your charges good by Civ.
ing to the public the uncovered facts In
connection with your statement that you
"have reason to believe 1.-THE lawsl hav.
been doctored."
That you may not have the slightes
excuse for not attempting to verify, b.
substantial facts, the reckless statements
you have made, will hereby publicl.
state that will pay all the expenses of l
most thorough investigation into th,
facts and you may select your own com
mittee.
That you may have the opportunity o
proving nae guilty OF a double crime,
will here most solemnly affirm that hav,
not, either directly or Indirectly, by con
sent or by collision, in any degree o
manner tempered with, altered or chang
ed the Laws of the Tenth Legislative AS
sembly of the Territory of Arizona.
Second. Failing to affirm or sustain
your uncalled for and libelous edltoria
statements, by solid facts, you will NJ
doubt Gf you have manhood and justic,
left) politically and editorlally retrac
the untlmely steps you have taken, ant
, as far as possible lift the cloud you hav,
SO cruelty cast over the integrity of m.
official acts.
Respectfully,
