. Pro and Con. » 7 An exposition of the difficalty between | myself and Dr. Purker, which occurred on. the morming of December 31, 1870, is necessary. It was concerning some money be obtained from me; and the principle be acted on after obtaiping the same. [The amoant was $3OO, and date of the loan being December 28:h, 1868. Himselfand .W_adpvyhrth (editor at Luporte) were then in psrtiersh‘ p; I went to Wadsworth and talked with him about it; be said it | would be al! right, and to let him have it, he pledged me his word and honor as a man and a'mason to see me through all 'ight, and he has failed to do this. - The’ noney Purker got for only a few cCays; ve said perhaps for 10 days, and not over 30 tald " him.T wanted the money on “he Istiof March, 1869, and did not want Inder ha circumstances to be disappoiot ed ;" he said it would be promptly ‘met.-—-J We then talked u!m\ut the rate of interest: I asked 114 per cent.; he said I had not ought to cbarge him more than 1 peret ; I then ltold him that if he would pay me promptiy he might have it for 1 per’ct, Drew the note at 10 per ct. interest with that dnderstabiding. So the matter was left until March, "69. '\Vl?én I usked him for the money be said -he had not got it hut thought he would get it in a few daysi [ then told him I wovld charge 11§ per et. from Ist of March and the length of time it shoul i ran, to which he did not not object, 1 rpoke several times for the money, 'and received the same answer ns hefnré‘.:? On {the 13th of ‘August, '69, [ told him I must bave the interest. At first he did not seem to be very much con, cerned about it, but on receiving a pretty sharp démand paid me §25, saying Wads. worth had $l,OOO on deposit, and did: not know why he would not pay up the amount and stép-such interest. Thus matters progressed with my urging the payment of the same. Same time wrote to Wedsworth, urging the same withi him So matters run until April 24, 1870, with exception of $2O be‘ng paid on note. Parker on that day came to me with the principal, “saying that was all the m ney he had then, but as soon as he “could make collections he would pay the balance.— He did not ask mé for his note, nor has he ever made any demand for it, and it is atill in my possession. Two or three months after that I mentioned the matter to-him, when he® said he could not pay me the 13§ per cent. nor would ndt do su; some sharp words followed ; 1 'told bim hie mnst settle with me, or I would settle with him, for I would not bé%imposed upon in/ that way. So this was the sum ; and; substance of our difﬁcul'(y: They are facts, and I can back then by an affidavit to »-tfle tuce of the parties men i,tinngd."nr any other man. Now, I chal ‘ lenge these gentlemen-to deny these facts ‘in the same way' [ proposelto aubstantiate; them, if they dare.

This bill through the obstinate and malicious apitefulness of Parker was rejected, on reasons that it should have been disposed of by the old board, and thiat the new board had no right to accept the bill ; it was then cut off entirely. : ~ To 'show the inconsistency, of this setion and injustice th me I will state that bills were presented for liquor, drank af ter the fire, on the eve of the 24th of De cember, when it liad burnt everything within its reach, and could not huve went any farther if not a bucket- of water had been carried, and the bills were allowed, He (Parker) at the bhead of a number of citizens, in the saloons, saying *come. and drink, boys, the Corporation will pay%‘gjt."v - He was the first one to sanctionthe. bills, although they were not in the regular form, but he said that could be corrected hereaftar. , These ate facts that can be substantiated, and [ now submit them to the intelli gence of impartial readers for their consideration. Very respectfully, - J. A. QUACKENBUSHL. Ligonier, January 16ch, 1871. -

i A 8. PARKER'S STATEMENT. | The firm of Wadsworth & Parker bor- i rowed first $2OOOfJ. Quackenbush which was paid some-time in the latter part nt" December, 1869. He said, or intifated at that time that he had money to loan. I told him if he would loan us money at 12 per cent. we would take some of him, but at mo greater per cent.; he said he would ree, snd came in a few days and let us have $3OO. We gave him our uote‘ -for that amount at 10 per cent. interest, ‘which be wes very careful to have insert. ‘ ed. Mr. Wadsworth sold out his interest in the store, and the firm was dissolved, 'soon after this transaction. Thoe effects of the firm were left in my hands to settle ‘up, which I have done as fast as [ could. - This man, Quackenbush, came in several times to talk over this matter and get his /interest, and did talk about'lB per cent., but at no time did I agree to give him | more thah we contracted for. I paid him his money after'l sold out to Mr. Gerber, it being the first money that gentleman paid me. 1 paid Quackenbush 12 per -cent., and told him if he could get any more of Wadsworth he could' keep the note and try, as [ never should pay him any mdre, the note being cancelled and more than cancelléd by theindorsements We have had no conversation since thet time, except one last June, aud none since. I might reply more particalarly to this man’s “exposition”. (baving had the priv: ilege of reading it,) but will only say that Mr. Wadsworth will, I presame, attend to the masonic pledge part, and T hope will be better prepared to recétve Quacken. bush's attack than I was on the 31st of .Decent)er.' a 8 I understand be inténds to settle with Wadsworth if the latter dves not pay the 18 per cent. lam thankfu! to those who extended their sympathy to me and my family, and am also pleased to know that all denounce the assault as utterly urjustifiable, cowardly and brutal. | -A. 8.
