a letter written by Macon
to the Quincy Journal of Feb. 1st
in reply to letter in the "Shelbi-
na Democrat" signed SHELBY
has the following:
How long has this writer known "Col.
Hateh?' If. as he intina;es, be has known
him thirty years and the democracy of this
district as long as he has, will he or any one
else who knows him so well be kind enough
TO tell US where Mr.. Hatch got his title OF
Colonel? viii this writer, or any other re-
sponsible man, dare to say for truth tha
''our congressman VIM. II. Hatch ever held
for one day or any other period, the COM
mission of Colonel in the Confederate army
or any other army? VIII this writer, who
knows Mr.. Hatch so well, dare TO say that
Hatch ever was soldier one day in his life in
service on the field? VIII he dare % deny
that he was not only not Colonel but that he
was rejected by the Confederate senate as a
captain in police force-a prison guard?
Viii this writer, who knows ''our Congress
man Col. Hatch so weil." assert that Hatch
ever held a higher position in any army than
a cierkship in the exchange bureaus

man, who knew Hatch so well, dare to say
that while acting in that capacity that his
conduct was not such that he was courtmar-
martialed for robbing federal dead and
prisoners?'
The above is from a thoroughly
reliable Democratic paper, one that
never swerves either to the right
or left, but is for Democracy first,
last and all the time. Such accu-
sations coming from Mr.. Hatch S
own party must be a source of
modification that no sane man
could withstand if they were moi
true. Are they true? The accusers
openly challenge that the proof OF
their assertions be demanded.

paper away for future reference.
