His name nor any action Of his had
been hinted at. Bat under cover Of
Fullerton's court he hurls his damoable
slander at man who has never
wronged him. He commits a wilful
aud unprovoked assault on tbe liberty
Of the press. Unable to answer a single
fact or charge or argument we have
printed ag ,inst the rotten receivershlps
Of the Oregon Pacific, he simply con-
I sses guilty of all that Is charged
but hopes to stife our future utterauces.

CITIZEN.
Roseburg, Oregon, Feb. 5, 1884,
We intend to show the origin of his
malice. The whole purpose of our ar
ticles has been to show that under
Judge Fullerton the receipts Of the road
have not been properly applied, have
n It been paid for labor and material,
but bave been paid for enormous and
outrageous attorney fees, owing to
which the road vas wrecked financially
and |aborers and material men were
left destitute.
@. @. HOGUE vs.. HADLEY.
Mr.. @. G. Hogue, who for ten years
was auditor of the Oregon Pacific rail-
road has been examining the final ac
counts and reports Of Mr.. K. w. Had
ley, late receiver of that company and
claims that the reports are not COM
plete in that many items which are
properly chargeable to Mr.. Hadley's
and that Mr.. Hadley's report ac-
these accounts is full
of gross inaccuracies, In fact not
a single item is stated correctly therein.
He says the fact that these inaccuracies
are made the basis for an uncalled for
attack on the administration of Col. II.
e. Hogg, demands public refutatlon,
not only because this report has been
widely circulated in the press but es
pecially because 1t Is made part of the
records of the circuit court.
Re e'elring to the fourth item In that
report, Mr.. HOSue say: "Of the large
amount Of inlebte lne4s spoken of by
Mr.. Had ey, $6jS, ,469.3l for Judgments,
material bills, for the purchase
Of the ;. 3. Willametts Valley, etc,
and for interest, discounts, and COM
missions on receivers certificates issued
for these items, which were adjudged
preferre ems upon the property exist.
ing prior to the appointment of Col
Hogg as receiver" The amount of 10.
debtedness properly chargeable to Col
Hogg's term as receiver is $40O, 23S.SS.
MIR. Hadleg claims that $40, 900. 90 of
receivers certificates were sold at par
owing TO confidence inspired by his
Affidavit fled on behalf
Of the Blair. WhartoN faction prior to
Mr., Hadley's appointment shows that
this money was already subscribed.
The certificates were never sold at all
but were deposited as additional secu.
rlty, the time OF the men being the
original security, transferred to Mr.,
Hadley as trustee,
By a systematic course Of newspaper
putting, Mr. Hadley did inspire con-
hdenc, In his statements that he was
more than operating expenses,
10 such an extent that he was able to
buy large quantities of material from
those who today bitterly regret their
confidence.
Finh, he claims to have saved $780,

Hogg's administration. Col. Hngg
was 10 office 2sl months aud Mr..
Hadley ten months. An average Of
The Indebtedness for ten months OF
Col. Hogg's term Ia SliI ,6T7 80 aud
Mr. Hadley's net Indebtedness will no
