A GARD FROM JUDGE LOOKHART.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-As there
has been a misunderstanding on the
part of some with regard to my resig-
nation. some years ago. as associate
iustice of the Western District of La
favette county, | deem it but an act OF
simple justice to myself and friends,
to rise and explain.
A committee of the taxpayers from
the to nships involved met at the
courthouse in Lexington, together with
Judge Harrison and myself, and it was
there decided that n of the associate
iudges-as there was no mandamus
served at that time on Judge Barnett
should resign. The object was to de-
feat the purpose of the bond lawyer,
Thos. Ii. Skinker. Owing to the health
of myself and family, as published in
a card at that time, Judge Harrison
agreed that | should withdraw. On
our return to Jefferson City my resig-
nation was accepted by Gov. Critten-
den. Then upon a formal application
of Mr.. John S. Blackwell, county at
tOrnev, to Judge krekel of the U. s.
court for a final discharge from custody
Skinker urged the objectiOn, 'sthat the
citizens of Lafayette county would ex-
ult over the grand victory they would
have achieved over this court" After
the imposition of a fine of 500 he dis
charged me from custody. This action
frustrated their design,to compromises
soon followed.
In conclusion, having been a citizen
of Lafayette county for 40 years, l feel
identified with all her interests, finan-
cial and otherwise. and am still ready
to advance those interests to the extent
of my ability.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM MR.. STEELE.

To II. Homer Luce, Editor of the Htg-
ginSriIe AdUance,-
Sir:-In your paper of the 2Srd in
tant there appears all article
under the caption of "W. B.
Steele" published as an editorial,
which is a base and malicious SANDER
upon me, and which no one but a
cOwardly assassin and malicious talsi-
fer could write. You wrote me-, after
your paper had been circulated all over
this county, that the "article should
have appeared as from a correspond
ent." 1t is a singular coincidence
that 1900 extra copies of your paper OF
that date should have been gratui-
tously distributed, at the expense OF
some one, all over the county at the
time this pretended mistake occurred,
and when it was calculated to do me
the most harm, and nov you propose
to inform the regular subscribers to
your paper, that you are not editOrially
responsible for its appearance. 1t
makes no difference to me who the
author is, and whoever he may be ii is
to him | apply this article. Neither
you nor your plant correspondent
wonld use the offensive language in
my presence. AS an editorial it de-
rives its strength only from the official
position YOU occupy as postmaster, and
your responsibility as editor "a be
disclaimed by no such empty protest as
you offer. Such an evasion is con-
temptible in the extreme, as a matter OF
correspondence could have no force, fol
none but assassins and towards strike
in the dark. Ny official acts are the
proper subject of criticism; personal
abuse is another thing.

George Graham, who murdered his
wife, near Springfield, Mo-, October 1,
1885, and whose bigamous wife. Cora
Lee, and her foster-mother, En-
ma Malloy, are nov held as accesso-
ries to the crime, was taken out of the
Springfield Jail, at L o'clock, last Tues
day morning, by about $50 of the citi-
zens of the county, and hanged to a
tree, near the city. An ante mo,tem
confession which he wrote exculpates
the women from all blame in the killing
of his wife. Graham had served one
term in the p~enitentiary. He was
half-educated, smart rascal, and nc
doubt deserved his fate, but it would
have been much better for the fail
fame of Greene county if the law had
been permitted to take its course.
