THE PUBLIC NOT INTER-
ESTEU,

1t seems to be a difficult matter
to convince Bro. Mack, Of the Toe"
7aM, that the Secretary of State
awarded him the publication
of the constitutional amendments
at the solicitation of Judge Black
man. 1t is true that we are nei-
Their An antediluvian, nor have we
resided in Rapides Parish since
Noah's food, but We have been
here quite long enough to know
that our esteemed Brother, is nei-
Their in the habit of prevaricating,
nor does he ever attempt to evade
the payment of bis just and honest
debts, nor is our article suscepti.
BILE of any such construction. But
he has signally failed to show, not
withstauding the earnest and de-
termiued effort, he has made in
that behalf, that he is not indebt-
ed to the good Offices of Judge
BIackman for the amendments
We are convinced that the public
has no especial interest in the de.
termination of this issue and here
dismiss it, with the promise that
We shall not Ieeur to it, unless it
is denied by one of the principals,
when We will publish the letter OF
the Secretary in ezte'.so, ver6atim ct
Hteratim, "nothiDg extenuating, nor
aught setting down in malice"
In the meantime, we leave the
matter between the Secretary of
State, editor of Tom Talk and
Judge Blackmar.
