An Open Letter to the Rev. David s
 Francis.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Will you kindly through the columns of your paper, al low me to say few words in reply tt the attack made by the Rev. Francis o this city upon Mrs. Matte Freeman and upon me, as her host, while she re- mained in Tucson, and being the persor who was partly instrumental Tn lnduc ing her to visit this ancient and honor able pueblo.
 1 feel that this assault upon 8 woman who is not present, and whose previous engagements prevented her from re- maining to enjoy the climate and the I odor of sanctity which prevades this city, obliges me to say 8 word or two in her I behalf.
 In his article the Rev. Francis makes ths statement: "It is being rumOred around town that the Rev. Howard Bill man and myself are awaiting until Mrs. Freeman has left town, and then we will take advantage of her absence to hold meeting to reply to the addresses she delivered the last four evenings. rhis rumor like most infidel assertions is without foundation in fact"
 The Rev. Francis seems pleased to &C., cuse "us infidels" of prevaricating. Let us examine the facts of the case, and submit them to the public for impartial decision, and abide the result.
 In the first place, 1 will ask the Rev. Francis few questions Tn friendly way. Stand up MT. Francis and answer them truthfully.
 1st. Did you at any time notify Mrs. Freeman, or any of her secular friends that you had any desire to discuss any question with her at any time? If not how could you in reason and good con- science expect her to remain over in Tucson to await your convenience when you knew her trip had already been mapped out and her dates fixed?
 2nd. If you did not notify her, is it not taking an undue advantage of her, to issue challenge to her, after she has left Tucson without giving her any previous notice of your intentions while she was here? This may be courteous and fair treatment from the standpoint of the christianity which you profess to represent, but with us benighted inf NSAS1 "hO Wolh thO ouiCCtc o halo around our brows, it will not be so regarded.
 Rev. Billman called at my place Of business, and asked me when Mrs. Free l man would leave. I informed blm that | she would leave that evening, (Wednes- l 1ay,) and his reply was, "I am sorry, as would like very much to meet her and | nave talk with her." I replied by inviting him to call at my house and | see her, as I felt sure she would be | pleased 10 see him; and he excused hin> elf on account of lack of time. Where lpon, 1 asked him If he could not attend Ter lecture that evening as 1t was her ast, and he excused himself for satis actory reasons.
 Now, Rev. Francis, in ell fairness, I sk you are not those the facts in the ase? Will you dispute any one of hem?
 I now submit our case to the public or decision, perfectly willing to abide esults.
