Lloyd had sppoints>l ne Jusiiss IL the

the sarcastic words which fallowei o.uld no,
help finding their place into every readers
mind. though divided like the irsli, in the
garden of Eden into good and syEl. a. am
sure that no inieiligen, citizen mad these
wonis without seeing and knowing that
they were intended SIR malicious revenge.
while others nOs =, well versesl in the his

their minds with the political slis<,lurs,.s IL

ciusion that Gov. Lloyd hid probably for

are - strongly welded b. the democracy
Ut this state As 10 cs,nccie that IL t;overn-
or / beyond reiruach, but wishing 10 be
true Ia the trust &c which may b, ~ un-
worthy, DO hereby challenge the Editors ID
said EhfeTPrssc f,r their pn,vucstion 1T such
unkind remarks. Ii owed them in dimes
and dollars, l would gladly pay them in
same. If owed them Political revenge.
l should expect a. pay them On the green.
but Knowing n do that ro pcrsonal dcb,
fle.ull exist between said gentlemen and
myself y our dealings have bccn ten lisni-
ted 10 have caused any such feelings, as
my memory only serves ms to have been
in the office If the Eaterprix but twice, and
both times was un special lSlsiness. which
thought was settled 10 the satisfaction of
both parties. II not, | ann always Ia bc
found at California getting my living by the
sweat of my brow, which is in accordance
with the commands of God. am not
found sitting in an easy chair or blsking
beneath the boughs Of a shady tree boast
ing Of my acts above the acts Of my fellow
man, or boasting of victories which have
unjustly won, or seeking criticism upon
those who Is Christian il behuoyes me to
praise-not sitting the business relations Of
my countyrman and seeking time and
place to array justice against him u; u sea
son when It canno; be repaired, rs did the
Enterprise on the eve of Court last March.
when it used the words that the California
chronic liligatiunist only had five cases in
Court | will ask these gentlemen il they
have been called on Ia pay any part of the
expenses Of my litigations or if owe them
for their professional services: Too well
do know that it is not a compliment to
have litigation in Court But alas taking
the Court 10 be what il should be, Court
of justice. l resort 10 it for that, AMI tina;
alone. Could look upon my fellow-man
as untruthlnl and dishonest ~ some do.
when | trusted him for the necessaries at
his family or II s. bill, | would ask a bill
of sale for something worth twice the
amount, and by this take the law in my
hands and settle il rs | chose. then pro-
badly my litigations would bc as few as
these gentlemen who AZ wish tn criticise me
as 10 do me private injury in such pub
lie manner. am very sure that if the Ed
itors of said paper feel justified in sueing cv-
cry subscriber b. the paper i;sr their indes,.
edness, would be left Out, and consequent
ly would never Ia heard Ia complain, and
would not b. found in ambush against their
rights or privileges. Only wishing to VIM
,iicate myself with thoughtful public, | IT.
