Reply Of "Esau" to Col. Col.
yar's Card In Last Weeks
Home journal.

Editor Home journal:
have, for q series of years, had the
devil and all his angels to contend with,
and Col. Colyar mouth-piece for them.
AS drowning man catching at straw,
Col. Colyar is making desperate effort
to yet his fee out Of me, as chances else
where might not be very good.
The "tire-brands" he sent out burned
up for want Of the fox to carry them
around, and the singing part, they
were burned upon the altar of his nativ-
ity. The Tracers asking voice at your
office, seem to stir the gentleman up.
(Fire always makes the tarapen crawl. J
/ deny the charge he makes against
those Tracers. Their motive was right
eous, seeing that Mr.. Colyar was at
tempting to bring family of innocent
children to uagabondism. Christ said,
"Let little children come unto me. "
They only meant what they said, and in
tended to hew to the line, let the chips
fall where they may.
| deny every charge set up in his
"tire-brands," except his painted descrip-
ton of a good wife, which fully agree
to, and would ask the gentleman to
search the record for deposition of
Mrs. Without, and show up difference
between ,ciues, and at the same time
give origin of his case of iusanity.
He lights out, in his Court speech in
last weeks journal, upon Mr. Collins
and lady, and then scatters his shot with
the "fore-winds." Mr. Collins and lady
own rich farm in Beans Creek valley
upon which they live. They are my
close neighbor. Mr. Collins is hard
listed, wcll-skilled blacksmith and engi
ncer. He was gunner in Calvert's Bat
terry during the unfortunate war between
the North and South. | heard one MAI
say she had seen fragments Of men fly
into the air at his aim He was alsC
one of the witnesses that had insanit,
pokcd out Mt him. lie was also one o
the signers to the remarkable and fraud
ulem, and able advertisement Col. Col
var complains of. In fact the term de
sertion, used by the Tracers, means
something, and it happens not to sui
Col. Colyar's case of insanity. Those
singing Traccrs down here will not beal
stirring on that question no more than
most of them will on the State debt
question. No doubt that Judas would
have liked be t. Governor of the II, but
the bag was in the way. In fact, insan
ity needs no proof--it is proof of itself.
Complainants have failed to show
their hand "Someihinq rotten IN Den,
mark"
have gone through this scene Of
having with scaled lips, entirely relying
upon disintcrested witnesses. Col. Col
var comes at me with the howl, in hi
fire brands" have tried to ruin m,
own brother in this matter. With re-
greet | reply, it is as mysterious as un
natural that l have been chased dowr
from the cradle by this brother. Col
Colyar had him three (3) times upon
the witness-stand---- trial at Winches
ter. As Adam was controlled by the
other sex, drop this.
Col. Colyar's fire brands complained
of by the Tracers, had two objects, il
my vlew-one Of which reminds me Of
man saw last winter trying to pub
fish himself a railroad lawyer at anoth
er's expense. The second object was tc
sink me, below the waves of complaint
which is only in keeping with the course
pursued against me before bringing the
suit.
The two juries Col. Colyar speaks Of
is loud talk; want no wool down here
better use for the article at Winchester
Wooden Mills. A man in a wrong viii
leave down gaps. He has had me har.
messed up in Chancery and Circuit
Courts, ut the same time, for the samt
object, to my great trouble and damage
and asking the Courts to compel me t.
pay him his fee, the expense of hi
''fre-brands" inclusive. If Courts ar
to let Col. Colyar ride over mems right
in that way, then people cannot to'
severely censure. Some men claim Il
be head of the law, claim all benefits o
the law, and attempt to deny the liabili
ty of ejectment, for the cunning device
as shown by the ''tire-brands" and speec
of last weeks Journal.
