THE OMAHA DAILY BKE : FUIDAY , OCTOBER 84 1880. JJora Tacla About tlio Injustice of Treight Kates to Lincoln , EFFORTS MADE FOR RELIEF Important Crises Argmtil In Kitiircnio Cottrt Conrtnny'fl Conl Sllnolnvcs- JIany Other Hnjiicn- [ hi3 nt tlio Capital City. i THE nr.r.'s MNCOI.N ntriiE n.1 Since the coniplelion of the Union Pa cific line into Kansas City via Lincoln , liiero seems lobe n noticeable Increase of freight trnflic through Lincoln over that line , and In fact u well posted railroad mail Is authority for the statement that through freight over Ihal line is largely on Iho increase. Tliis statement of fact in Itself is litlle , but it contains a uront argument against the unjust discrimina tion against Lincoln in regard to the Missouri river freight pool. The fact isle lo follow the statement of ono of Lincoln's most prominent wholesale men , that the now line gives the North western and Mil waukee & St. Paul lines each an entrance into Kansas City through llieir relations with the Union Pacillc , ami those roads arc now delivering froighl at Council Hind's to the Union Pacilli ! that goes on ward to Kansas City ovort'io latter's now line all at Missouri river rates. All this freight , said the wholesale man , passes through Lincoln and is carried a hundred and lifty miles beyond at a less rale than Lincoln enjoys , all owing lo the discrimi nation made ugainsl Iho Capital city by Iho Missouri river pool. In Ibis connec tion it is in order to slate lliat the organi sation of wholesalers for the purpose of getting a like rate for this point , i.s not idle , but every ellort is being made to bring the roads to view the matter in the light in which they see it , nnd to this end llioy have now a committee in St. Louis looking after Lincoln's interests nt the hands of the Missouri Pacilie , which promised much relief before it ar rived in Lincoln , but at once adopted the policy of being as great a cormorant as any of them Tlio UEK , in conversation witli a number of tlio heaviest dealers in Lincoln , finds the sentiment very pre valent among them that the city cannot be longer ignored in the question of through rates from Chicago , and also the new Union Pacilie line to Kansas City , hauling through froijrH clear beyond Lincoln at a less raic than the companies give Lincoln Itself , will in itself prove too strong a .standing argument of In.ius- tine for the differentlines in tlio Missouri river pool to longer ignore it. "Lincoln's wholesale trade is extending wonderfully this year , " said ono man , "and in live vears moro the city will double its popu lation moro from the fact ot its being a commercial centre than any other. And , " said ho , "the road that comes to our re lief will reap in Iho harvest. " IN sui'HKME cotrn-r. Yesterday , arguments in Third district cases were continued. Two important cases that of O'Brien vs Gaslin , involv ing something like a million ot property , and tlio test case of the justice cf the peace law of Stale ex rel Seldcii vs liorka were argued at length yesterday and submitted. The opinions in these cases will bo noted with a good deal of interest when handed down , which iu all probability will not be for several weeks. Yesterday's court proceedings -were as follows : Frank Irvine , of Douglas county , ad mitted to practice ; Peppercorn vs State , dismissed ; Fuller ys bliroder , leave to supply record granted ; O'ISrion vs Gas- lin , llolphrey vs Ucddick , State ex rol Selden vs IJerkn , argued and submitted. The following decision was rendered : ijliramp vs Meyer. .Error from Lancaster county. Jtoversed. Opinion by Maxwell , Ch. J.

COUKTNAY'S COAL MINE. The statement was made a few ago that D. G. Courtnay had a piece of land some eight miles out of Lincoln where an ox-miner had been putting in some time prospecting for a coal und , and about the lirst of September Court- nay was called out to BOO the find , n vein having been found some twelve feet down in the uowels of the earth. Since that time little has Leon said concerning the mine and a few days ago Dan Laucr , an old timer In newspaper work , we.nt out toinvuHttyato and report. In doing this ho met with an accident that shook him up considerably but had no serious results. When ho reached the mine ho went down the shaft and started iu through the chamber where two mule train tracks for lmuliu < out the coal ap iiroachcil the main outlet. In ono of those chambers he let his curiosity got the better of him , and taking up a pick ho slruck iu the side of the mine to satisfy himself whether the coal was nn tlirucile or bituminous. His blow on the side of tlio chamber dislodged seventy- live tons which , falling on him , gave him several scalp wounds and caused him to feel like Pete Jones , "considorablo up liko. " His olllcial report on ret.virning to tl.e city , lioiyovor , confirms the faol thnt 'JCTirtnay ' 's mine is doing quite well -und producing fuel Iu paying quantities. VDTICK couirr.

This stock was unloaded and fed at JJufl'alo , again at Aludo , 111. , nnd tilso ut Paollic Juuctiou. Upou reaching this point it was deemed necessary to h iKl it as Iho inspector claimed the proper qtiainntino regulations had not been b- . erved , and the stock Is now quarantined at the Nebraska stock yards.

The Tliimimn of Nnlirnskn Hauling Against 1'rntid , AVcnltli and Uitseruiniloii' * Cornor- nto Power. A Ctinniplon of Iho People. Scliuylcr Herald ; Senator Van Wyck will address tliu people-tit the fair grounds this morning , beginning at half past 10 o clock. A large number of fanners will be iu from all parts of the county. What ever mon may think of Senator Van Wyck , personally , lie stands forth as the foremost champion of the American people ple as against corporate aggression. Only two United States senators have over dared to light railroad robbers In that body whore sixty-seven of the seventy- eight members are the hired attorneys and lobbyists of corporation syndicates , who thrive by practicing wrongs against the masses of Iho people. For defending the people Senator Tlmrman was shelved by railroad inllucnco. If Vim Wyek is de feated in Nebraska , it will bo n long time before any ether man will over dare to raise his voice ) In defense of justice and equal rights. If ho goes back , wiHi the mighty forces of fraud , wealth , power and unscrupulous tactics , that are being arrayed against him , it will bo a victory such as the common people havu not gained for many years. His enemies dare not attack the principles ; they merely endeavor to pick Haws in his pri vate character , and insist that ho is not sincere In his professions. When he votes right on every proposition , they say ho noes it for ellect , to catch votes. They say ho is crabbed and unsocial. Probably ho is to dudes and montubanks. His defeat will bo accepted as a railroad victory throughout the whole union. They hate him worse than any other man in America , which is the foremost reason why the people should support him with a whole heart. A Itrillmnt Campaign. Noligh Republican : Senator Van \Yyck is making a vigorous and brilliant campaign for a "man without a , party I" Van AVyck's Victories. Lincoln Democrat : Our esteemed morning contemporary whistles us it goes through the graveyard , "So far Van Wyck's victories : ire not very num erous. " No , but as they embrace every battle that has been "nt" between him and the machine they seem to indicate that the old man is doing very well as fur as he has gone. VVIiat lie lias Done. York Times : When anoyne objects to Senator Van Wyck for the reason that ho has not done enough , just ask him what other senators trom .Nebraska have done , or from any ether state for that mutter. If it is expected that he or any other senator can turn the world wrong side out , can make the desert blossom as Iho rose , or beard the monied power single handed and alone , and down it at the lirst round , such expectations will fail , lint there is no member of the sen ate who has made so wide and honorable a reputation in a term as Senator Van Wyck has. There is no member of the senate who has done as much for the sol diers ami soldiers' widows as he , or one tenth as much for the common people , and all the ether senators from Nebraska together liavo not done one half as much for the state and the nation as ho. Man dorson has been a good senator and is a fine man , but what has he done ? What did nitchcook.Sttundors and Paddock do ? What does the average United States sen ator do ? Think of this , and then think of all Van Wyck has accomplished , and then say , if you can , that ho has not done exceedingly well. 71io Right Man. Grant ( Keith County ) Enterprise : Week is succeeding week and yet not ono of the skulkers have dared to accept Van Wyek's challenge. They know the old man's mettle and they also Know his rec ord. His work in the last congress ought to bo enough to satisfy Nebraska that ho is the right man in the right place. Aid Not Appeal ia Vain. "Wood Ilivor Gazette : Wayne and Col fax counties have declared for Van Wyck. It does begin to look as if the old man's appeal has not been made in vain. Ho Will ho Klcotcn. Norden Uoroalis ( Hop. ) : Van Wyck will bo elected to the senate this fall in spite of Church Howe and the tricksters that are seeking to stab a man tliat has worked to the best interests of his con stituency. * JT > iit Want a. Railroad Attorney. Knox County News : The Omaha Her aid seem to bo taking quite a hand in the republican light , and showing a gooif deal of partiality to the enemies of Van Wyck. Perhaps the toes of somebody connected with the Herald liavo beer stopped upon , and perhaps the natura. inclinations of the Herald are with the class of corporation cappers who wouU like to see a republican of the Ti'Cfrston or Church Howe brand in tUSenior sen ator's place. Wo would like to have ts democrat thenalui nnvo not mucl choicn . ' .u6'ng ; republicans , but prcforuo to have a railway attorney , Antics Vcrdon Gazette : It is somewhat amus ing to watch the marked change in tone of several of the prominent papers in the state on the sanatoria ! question. Two months a"o the bare mention of the iinmo of lion. C. H. Van Wyck in this connection would throw the editoria force of the Omaha Republican and Lin coin Journal into hysterics. Now the ; comment on his chances in a meek am becoming spirit. The fact is , that those papers that have boon reviling Senator Van Wyck remind us of a sn.uil boy 01 u high wall , with the prpverbial bullUoj , located somewhere bunnuth him on the ground , but on wjilcli side of the wall the boy does not know. To the credit of the above named papers bo it said , they have scored ono point ahead of the boy thoj have evidently located the "bull dog , ' They think they can sco by the light o the moon that Van Wyck will bo his owj successor , and thus do they slide down 01 this side of the fence so that they luay 0 lirnily established on this point when the deed is done. It is now pretty well con ceded throughout the state that Mr. Vai "Wyck will bo returned , so you may as well E\ ; allow the pill gracefully An liitcrcHtini : Hosslou. York Times : This winter will furnisl a very interesting session of the slate leg iblaturo. The election of a United States senator is always an exciting and in tensely interesting process ; but the lighi this winter is to boa peculiar onoand wll call out the best talent and largest muni licence of the corporations. Senator Van Wyck will bo opposed by every other candidate , by every railroad man every ringstor. every jobber and corrup tionist , Ho will have for support the true and fearless members of tlio legisla turo , and tor backing , the oxprcssea con fidenco and good-will of the masses It will bo an exciting contest. Then the question ot railroad legislation will raise up with moro persistence and vigor thai' ever before , and will demand the atten tlon of nil parties. The need for roglua ion is moro pressing and the attempts to lefcat it will be moro pressing than over before. _ Not n Hntlrond Republican. Grand Island Independent : Ilccnuso Tan Wyek is not owned by the railroads , omo of the railroad organs , claiming to republican , claim that ho is not a re publican , but it seems he docs not have .o resort to a proxy to get into a ropub- lean convention every year. His repub- icanism is better than that of many who rail against him. Ho did not oppose "irant after ho had been nominated by ho republican national convention , as most ol his opponents did , Vnn WycJc to go Hack. Rapid City Republican : Returns indi cate that enough of Van Wyck's friends lave been nominated iu reasonably sure districts insure re-eloc- legislative to his - - ion to United States senate trom No- ) raska. It would bo u "rum start' ' in polities if , by the popular vote on the sen- itorial question ho should llnd hU legis lative support countermanded , and thus jo "hoist with his own petard ; " but such is not likely to be the case. Van Wyck is really tlio strongest man .n Nebraska for the scnatorship , popu larly , intellectually and in principle ; and 10 is one of the strongest men in the sen ate chamber. Wo h-ivo all along regard ed his re-election as a foregone con clusion. Ho has really been helped by the enemies he has made and their foolish methods of lighting him. Wo know Van Wyck back in York state , and that commonwealth lost a eon- sifrnmiwt of good stock when he joined the innumcrablo caravan of Westward lie men. Columbus Journal : The republican party of Nebraska is a unit on national issues , if not entirely harmonious on state matters. Van Wyek will bo his own suc cessor , if the people's wish is carried out. JIM I'AUI/S CIU.MICS. Further Fact * Concerning JllH In famous Career , ST. PAUL , Oct. 7 , 1830. To the Editor of the HUE : Tlio fact that the name of J , N. Paul was not even mentioned before the republican state convention although delegates from this , Howard county , were instructed to cast their votes for him for governor , would seem to indicate that an over whelming sentiment of his party regard ed his candidacy with intense disfavor. Were it not for the fact that Mr. Paul has assailed my veracity through a num ber of false affidavits , I should not again intrude the matter on the public , but Mr. Paul was only on last Monday eve ina speech delivered in St. Paul b.Mr. . . Con ger , the republican nominee for senator in our district , publicly eulogized and endorsed as a respected and upright citi zen , which is Interpreted in several quar ters as giving.tlie lie to my statements. In justice to myself and family 1 am com pelled to at least attumpt again to place myself right for all time. The proper channel for righting the wrong and repelling the slander was through the columns of the Omaha Re publican. which published Mr. Paul's so- called vindication. ' On Wednesday I made a personal rcrtuest of the editor of the Republican , in order lo do mo justice , to publish my ropty to Paul. This was refused , and 1 ifin now compelled to seek redress throuclLthocolumns , of the UKK. In thn Republican of Sept. 20 J. N. Paul attempts to refute the direct allegation of a crime committed by him by making an unqi alitiod denial. ) I allirmcd that he fully confessed his' crime and promised to make atonement ! Ho avers that ho never made such an 'admission , but de clared his innocence , yet finally submit ted to bo llecccd'out of ICO acres of land and § 120 in addition , in order that his prospects for ollice might not bo im paired. Now , weighing well the words which I employ , knowing full well their force and meaning , 1 solemnly declare that there Is not a single declaration in his attempted vindication that does not contain in itself all the elements ot u most diabolical falsehood. If J. N. Paul is guilty of the crime with which ho is charged he is a moral villain , and should bo regarded as an object of scorn and loathing by every virtuous man and woman. And if I , otnt of n spirit of enmity and vindictivcness , liavo at tempted to fasten upon him such acnmoknowinghiinto bo innocent then I am a moral monster and should -branded with infamy. But if ho is guilty , and knowing full well his guilt , ho attempts to fasten the crime of black- mall upon another , and in order that ho lie may succeed , has influenced others to enter into a conspiracy witli him , and suborned thorn to purjury that ho might accomplish a purpose so foul and damn ing , then ho should bo execrated as a monstrous villain and bo drlrpn as a vagabond from all intercourse with re spectable men and women. In substance his attempted vindication amounts to tliis : An enmity hud existed on my part against him for twelve years , and ho being a candidate for representative at the time of my daughter's misfortune , 1 made this combination of circumstances the moans of gratifying my enmity c * extorting money from hun mid o { fasten ing upon him an oilictis crime. J. N. Paul has doiwajpToat many very silly and foolish tilings during his residence juSt. I'aul as well as before , but of all his acts of folly this is the consummation. If there was not a , single fact or collateral circumstance antagonizing such an ex planation , it would be regarded by every- sane man who know us both , as the most preposterous thing conceivable , lint let us examine this question of enmity. One affidavit avers that this enmity had existed for ten or twelve years and that , ho had often hoard it said that it grow out of an active part J.N , Paul tosk in defeating J. 0. Lewis when lie V/as a can didate for the second toris as county clerk of Howard county. Now , it is a well remembered fp.ut upon the part of old citizens hero-thai I was not defeated for a second lorm of clerkship for tlio very best of all reasons that I was not n oamMnlo for re/oloDtion. Early In the cauvass 1 declared twas not a candidate and would not be. It is also well known that I used my influence to secure the nomination and election of A. G. Ken dall. ho having failed'to receive the nom ination at the convention. I went to his to his homo the Dost i morning and ad- vlsod him to run OH an independent can didate , Ho did fp rim and was elected. Paul's choice \VM DC , Flutchor , but it is a well remembered fatet that at that tlrno Paul was in stieh' bftd repute that ho could not liavo controlled n half-dozen VOtt'S In run cnn.ijrjJj.A.il A [ Wng sar.y to defeat Fletcher was the statement of the fact , that Paul was for him. Now , how or why Paul should have taken such an active part ! r | defeating mo when I was not a candidate , is a problem which the ox-postmaster , who was dismissed from the postmastorship hero a short time since for using government funds in his own business , may ho , perhaps , able to explain. Kendall also states that J , C. Lewis was a candidate in 1880 for ronro Bcntativo. and his statement ia corrobor ated by that of Crcn. There Is certainly something very strange about this , ff their averment bo true. Generally , when a man Is a candidate ho announces him self as such , sots up the pin , pulls the wires , canvasses and palavers with voters. Hut I am quite sure I did noth ing of all this. There were two republi can papers published at St. Paul at that time , and I suppose the old.liles liavo been preserved , and if ono word can bo found in either of thorn , from which the con clusion can bo drawn that I was a candi date , or if any truthful man can bo found who will declare that 1 announced my self a candidate , solicited votes , or dolio any of the acts which candidates do per- lorm , then 1 will contess that J. N. Paul is a fit man for the governorship of Nebraska. The fact is I had no more thought or intention of being a candidate for representative , or any other ollice , than I have now of foing to the moon. J. F. Kredriek was a candidate that year and would bo tinitous likely to know who were his opposing candidates as any one. Ho says ho never heard a word of my canilidacj. K. S. Oiadwiek ami 1 , 1) . ( ) r < igg arc alway ported in regard to our local politics. They say they never heard such a thinir intimated. K. M Uoldsberry and H/V. Adams say the same th'.ng. 1 have had moro than twenty of our most reliable citizens , who were residents hero at that time , intenjatod , and with perfect unanimity they declare that J. C. Lewis was not a candidate in 18 0 for representative. If the veracity of these iniMi Is to bo relied upon , and no one will call that in question , then some body has lied and lieu under the solemn sanctions of an oath , W. A. Hell , in his allldavit , slates that "During llio latter part of ( July and and lirst days of August of that year (1880) ( ) that J. r. Lewis was a frequent caller at our otlicn and appeared to have business with J. N. Paul. 1 thought strange of these visits at the time and I knew these parlies were not on good terms. " How little Hlllv Hell , being at tlio pres ent time a candidate for county attorney , could liavo been induced to commit t > o stupendous a blunder as to make such a statement where its mendaeilyjs so eas ily established , can bo reconciled only upon thn supposition of a very poor mem ory on Ids purl or upon the admission of the tiuth of the maxim , "Whom the gods wish to destroy they lirst make mad.1 How any sane man could have made such a statement as thai , knowing it to be a most villainous He and knowing , too , that the evidence to establish its falsity , in part , at least , is a matter of public re cord , is more than 1 can comprehend. It cannot bo possible that ho did not know that statement to bo wholly and utterly false. For though he is exceedingly small it is fairly to be presumed that ho has some little memory. Some things I know ho has not forgotten and one of the things which I am sure lie has not forgot ten is that between January 1st and July l-llli , of 1880 , that I was an almost daily frequenter of their ollice. The fact is this ; Some time in December , 1871) ) , J. N. Paul and Hilly Hell called mo into their olliee and importuned mo to accept of the appointment of justice of the peace , anil as a reason why they desired it was.'as ' they bolh stated , that Tom Darnell had so manipulated the county judge that it was impossible for them to get a fair and impartial trial before him. They said that if I would accept tlio olliee they would have the commissioners make the appointment , that they would bring all their suits before me which were within the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace. I consented to accept if tlio appointment should bo made. In a short time thereafter the order of ap pointment was made and I qualified , lietwcen the 1st day of January and the 14th day of July they instituted all their suits before me , with the exception of two or three which wore bovond my jur isdiction. I think ttui docket will show that not less than fifteen or twenty , and perhaps a greater number of suits were instituted by them in my court within said period. W'thin this time I visited their ollice frequently to consult reports and other legal authorities. 1 left my docket in their oflico the greater part of that time. On the Mth of May , 1880 , 1 rendered judgment in their ollico upon confession ot defendants in the case of W. 11. West vs. A. Gillisnie , and the judgment was written by W. A. Hell , as the docket shows. On the 15th of same month I rendered judgment iri their ollico on confession of defendant dantin the case of C. F. Goodman vs. L. Foming , and tlio docket shows the judg ment to have been written by Bell. On the 20th of Juno , same year , I rendered judgment in their oflico on confession of defendant , in the case of J. H. French vs. C. K. Force , I writing the judgment my self. On July flh 1 was in their ollico and rendered judgment on confession of defendants , in the case of Whitnov & Clark vs. Anderson & Roberts , Bell writinc up the judgment , and yet Hilly virtually declares in his allidavit that ! was a stranger to that ollico , and know ing that Paul and myself were on such unfriendly terms , that when , as ho says. 1 appeared there ho thought stranco of it. The living veritable truth is that I was in that olliee almost every day from January 7 to July 14 , and after that date I never darkened their door , excepting on the evening when the written agree ment was signed by myself and Paul. Instead of thinking 'strange of these vis its" ho thought exceeding strange when they ceafeed ; so strange a matterdid he think it to bo , that two or tluco weeks alterward , on meeting mo ho inquired as to the reason of the cessation of my visits. There was another fact which should have stared Hilly in the face and prevented him committing this act'Of perjury. In 1870 or ' 77 J. N. Paul became my partner in the practice of law and for two years or moVe a card ap peared in the weekly issue of the Howard County Advoo.te , Paul's paper , which " road , lll > T v"i3 & Paul , Attorneys sit Law , " am1. Us Hilly has admitted since making that damning allidavit , for more tnan six months after his own partnership with Paul the receipt of circulars and business loiters in the firm name of Lewis & Paul wore of frequent occuronco. Now , witli those facts so public , so generally known , and the proof of which is so undeniable , it is one of the strangest things imaginable how liilly could have bconao astonishing ly stupiuas to have been led into making that ajHduyit. If the allegation of en mity as declared be true , then purely Paul Is nroven to bo ono of the most stupid iuul idiotic of all simpletons. An oriinity had oxbted for years and yet knowing that I was his bjtlor enemy ho takes my son and daughter into hib office as employes , retaining the ono about eighteen months , the other nearly five years , enters into imrtnorsl > .ij ; with mo which continues fey tTTo years and subse quently secures my appointment as jus tice of the peace , and brings ten , fifteen or twenty suits before mo williin the period of five or nix months , and that too when the court of the county judge mid that of another justice of the peace were alike open to him. IB that the way men treat enemies ; Ho must have regarded mo as a singular kind of an enemy. If ho thought me an enemy his conduct shows that no must have regarded mo us a man of a high degree of honor and integrity. Hut to namolthis hypothesis of enmity is but "ibs rcductio ad ab minium. " That Dr. Fletcher should have become a party to this infamous scheme , is a surprise to omo , but it is not at all strangu to those Who MO tiomJr..ntad ' with the history of af fairs here mnco tlio summer of 1S7U. From that time ho has been regarded as a part of the InalgmlVcent tail of the Paul kltn. It was generally supposed that ho was ono of those "blush of innoconoo" sort of nonentities , that would harm nobody except his patients , and not them in tentionally. Hut his unfortunate con nection with this conspiracy forces the community to plaeo a dif ferent estimate upon him , as to his harm- lossless of intention. It i. oins inorcdihlu to mo to believe that when ho made that allldavit ho diil not know ho wus swear ing to an appalling lie. If ho can remem ber that Cora H. Lewis said "O , pa , don't , " ho can remember f > he did not ut ter another word in addition thereto. Ho knows full well that the addenda , "For it is not true , " \s \ his own fabnoallon. If he remembers anything at all about inci dents of his visit , do ought to rumombor that such was thu critical condition of my wife at the time , owing to the shook her nervous fcvstem had received by the t > c- eiirrcncu of so unexpected a calamity , that our conversation : H that time con sisted onlv nf a few drlnphrd sentences ; that wo had no detailed conversation un til after Paul bad been confronted with the evidences of his crime. After Iho in terview with Paul I had an interview with Dr. Fletcher. 1 told him Paul's con fession , and thai lie had promised to do all in his power to repair the wrong ho hail done. I al o told him that I'aul would call on him and make a statement of the facts of the ca. o and request a pledge of seeresy from him. This Paul afterwards stated to mo ho had done. So lirmly Ime I been all thoe. year * in the belief that I'aul had admitted to Fetehcr his whole guilty connection with this matter that 1 have referred several parties to Dr. Folclter for eon- lirmalion ol my dtati-nu-nt of tlio cai > . Whether Paul did make Iho confession to him as he. . agreed , I Know not. Hut this 1 do know , that Ur. 1-etcher , by adding one single sentence to that which was said , and omitting statement * that were made at a conversation had with mo after the 1 Ith of July , 1&SO , makes an afildavit Mhich Is absolutely and entirely false , and 1 lirmly believe no knows il lo bo faNo. All I have to say in regard to the affidavit of Mrs. Kva Given is that when she worked in thu printing ollieo o. U. I'aul she was so deaf that hho cotitd not liavo heard the loudest peal of thunder that over reverberated through the heavens. Her information , therefore , as to thu essential facts testified to in her allidavit must liavo boon derived from secondary sources. One lliiugis certain , that she continued to entertain a very friendly fooling for Cora H. Lewis for yours thereafter , which was manifested by visiting her at my house , and finally by an invitation to her wedding. 1 know not what inllucuces have been brought to bear upon her , causing nor to make the said allldavit , but I am assured by a very creditable source of information that immediately , or soon after she left the ollico of ,1. N. Paul she stated to several reliable wit nesses , who are now in St. Paul or imme diate vicinity , that the reason she left his printing ollieo was that J. N. Paul made insulting and criminal proposals to her. Without following these affidavits any further , 1 think that I liavo shown that at least three of them , and the three which must be regarded in a legal point of view as the most important , are essentially false. Their untruth is shown by facts of public notoriety by written testimony by records and by reasonable conclusion from facts which are indisputable. The fact that any statement of any ono of these affidavits is untrue taints every other statement orsaid allidavit. "Falsus in unum , falsus in totum. " This prin ciple of legal evidence may with justice and propriety bo extended to the state ments of each nnd every ono of these affidavits. Tliroa of them being shown to be utterly false , it is but fair to presume that each and every one of the affiants havu either knowinglv or unwittingly been drawn by thisnmn Paul into a conspiracy to screen him from Iho consequences of his villiany and crime. Hence , every statement of each affidavit should be treated as entirely mendacious unless corroborated by other evidence. The allidavit of Culleyisbut an addi tional exhibition of the deep depravity of the man. No denial of any statement ho makes cither on oath or otherwise is necessary. His known reputation for un- truhfuliicss renders him harmless. There nro others whose names have not ap peared in public in connection witli this matter who have nevertheless been liar- ties to this conspiracy , and are deserving of the contempt of the community , the moral sentiment of which Vliey have out ' raged. Knowing this man's g'uill for the past six years they liavo repeatedly given him their inllucnco and support for posi tions of honor and trust. He.ncc , Paul's overthrow should be the downfall , polit ically nnd socially , of these minions , who. knowing' his infamy , have persistently uphold him and en couraged in his career of crimo. An outraged moral and Christian sen timent and an insulted political party whoso potency for good in this county has been crippled and impaired , demand that his consorts in his work of evil should sutler with him thu consequence of a common crimo.
