In his re- 9.rJl this morning he shows the cal in. 0- the grey pus contained in his thick -hulL He pretends to make a rep.y, but, oh, ye gods and little f,1es such an attempt. Why, he
 does not seem to know what bc reads.
 Ia the urst place, he charges me with J5lu- 8 ,hameG of my name. Has he appended hls name to his tWaddle: If he impeIsOual in his cffusiOns, cer- .4luly ] have as good a right as he. - Who is he: He does not even append
 lis doubtful Initials-T. M. C. Goo Iuch Contu-ion) Does he think that any man will give his name, that the eternal spite Oi such ascrbJler should be forever spluuered out and VICIOUS mind have an object Go iujure:

He can't see it. .eu no oplcian can assist hIs men ,ai vision with glasses effective enough. He sets up men of straw alj i-hts them. He flies oil at a tangent to defend the railroads which do lgt need his punyeforts, and which are not attacked. l think, however that 1 have contributed as much t1 the welfare of this city as tL4, writer, and may be, although by DO means laden down with cash have a- much property as he. His ill., hammered suspicious are unfOunded. Ills defence 0l the Southern Pacific totally uucalIeJ for Is like a battle vI.l |. rush or d straw" but he has that institution on the brain.

We al! know ,hs. he is correct in that state melr, but why tell it; That IS s.y and recklcss-it is bad enough to be SD, but wicked 10 tell every body. lLis must be addressed to one of his ra-ders-whch means himsclf-in his elegant Whiii of this morning: You, an a-s
 The CITIZEN Is as great friend to ile Southern Pacific as is the Orb ot the Alley. IL needs nc paper to cham pl0n ir, and l believe that very lew persons complain in comparison with the hue and cry now of the young l:) Wl-er. His defense smells oi the shop"
 While with my Faber in hand let me point to another ' forget or hls. On Thursday he hInts that freights Will not be lower, on Friday be says they will be lower, and on Saturday again, in hls insulting, wishy-washy
