Georgia, the ‘Kid,’

“Doctors disagree” and so do Judges. Read tlie opinion of Judge Howk printed on first page. We are not of those, however, who would attach any blame to Judge Ward. He no doubt done what e believ d to be right and proper in the matter; and notwithstanding tli adverse decision, and his duty ts > obey, may still feel satisfied in his own mind that he was correct ii.ho Toledo Blade calls him Inquisitor General Vilas, because of a private circular sent to Democratic Congressmen in Oh o promising to remove fourth-class PostLtJi. 1 that State for the benefit of Democratic country editors.

This week hoppeth about like a spider on a hot griddle,—in fact, is in a terrible bad humor. He imagines that we are engaged in “turning the minds of the honorable democrats of the county against” him. Poor, inno ent, soft-pated, “amusin’ little cuss,’’ don’t you know we would have nothing to do if we engaged in that, there being none of that class in your leading strings. He is ‘foamy’ over “the assertion that The Republican gave the lawyers of Rensselaer a complete snubbing”, and exposes his stupidity and dullness of perception by adding “We,” the ‘kid,’ “have given the lawyers of Rensselaer the most ample opportunity to discuss the Wartner question,” etc. You see* “kiddie,” you don’t understand. — The ‘snub’ —not asserted 1 y us, but accepted and declared by the lawyers themselves—was in the arrogant manner in which you presumed to dispose of their question of “jurisdiction.” Under the circumstances, however, taking your stupidity, etc., into consideration, we pity and forgive you for calling us i‘an unqualified and unmitigated ]ie.”
