gun the organization Of an independent

company began W weeks ago.

Mr.. Editor-In the issue Of Your
paper of last Saturday, there ap-
peared a literary abortion over the
signature of Mr.. A. j. Dupuy !;
which it is my purpose here to al.
lude to.
Considering the platitude of the
effort, it was my intention to treat
it with the silent contempt which
it deserved; but, being a member
of that board, which he seems to
charge with fraud; and he having
boosted in public, and on the
streets of Jeanerette that he would
root up the dirt Of some certain
parties connected with his supposed
grievances; l deemed it necessary
to challenge him to any proof OF
fraud or misconduct on my part.
From his isolated austerity, which
has served him we'll, as u veil to
his ignorance, us it precluded COM
parison, Mr.. Dupuy, like Don
Quixote de la Mancha, sailed forth
against an imaginary foe, a harm
less windmill, imagining that he
saw huge conspiracy Of the poiit.
ical parties of our parish, to rob
him Of his imaginary credit.
The bouquet thrown at me by q
friend, in the shape of a congratu'
latory expression, which was pub
lished in the New Iberia Enterprise
Of May 10th, and of which | knew
nothing until my attention was
called to it, seems to be the cause
of his ire, he sees in it dark con.
spiracy to rob him of his supposed
credit. However we are not con
cerned with the cure of his manii
and will leave him to battle agains
that creation of his fevered brain
However, l emphatically cal
him to a proof Of his charges
pledging him protection agains
violence, unless he fails in his at
tempt, otherwise, we will be led t
construe his silence as an acknowl
edgment of the falsity OF hi
charges.
