SrErBESYILLE, May 5.-SteuOenyille mas
two Cillzens who are At present occupying
q good deal of space IN the newspapers,
both throughout the State and country.
These are Justice Calvin May, who gave II
a. his opinion that the Scott tax law was
Unconstitutional, and Rev. DR.. McLane,
who will be tried next week Al WelIsyIlle
for heTeSy.
In regard to May, the papers all round
the Republican Ones-are doing him lnlus-
tiCe, ioI the mple fact that they are not
publishing The truth. In the case May had
before him he did not settle by declaring
the law void and dismIssing II, put simply
gave Il as his opinion that the law would
not stand, and until the Supreme Court
could bear and settle the merits OF the
law, either pro or con, he continued
the case. The correct report OF the jus
tees actions was given IN the REGISTER
but some Of the papers, either through tue
stupidity OF their CORES pOndenrs, who did
not report correctly, or through malice,
made cut that the Justice declared the law
UnCOnsiItutlOna. and settled the case on
that decision.
The consequence is that every Republi-
can psber in Ohio IS tiSng its hot shot into
May, GenOUUCIng him as an ass, etc, when
they know - we'll as they are living that
misrepresentation
