TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1872.

Reply to tlie Card of Messrs. Baird & Cruft. We give in another column of our issue of to-day in order that our readers may have both bides of this controversy the card of Messrs. Baiid & Cruft, which appeared in the Express this morning. It will be .seen that this law firm takes to themselves all the charges made iu our issue of yesterday against the attorneys who are prosecuting the case for Mrs. PI urn anion vs. McGregor. Perhaps not a tingle reader throughout this entire coiumuuity but knew at once that our article did point unmistakably to the iirru of li-iird & Cruft, and not to that of Allen, Mtick & 'Williams. No one supposed we bud the least reference to the latter law hnn, because there is uofhiug in trie character of tnose geutleuicu as lawyers, that woukl justify any one in charging them with such unprofessional conduct, and nothing in connection with this case that would in the least justify us iu insinuatingagainst their honor or integrity as lawyers. Not one person in this community thought our remarks had, therefore, any reference to them, but the whole community did know that we meant the law firm of Baird and Cruft because what we said of them was in strict keeping with the character of their practice, and the notorious reputation for legal trickery and judicial shystering which they have so signally won for themselves.

In their card, Messrs. Baird & Cruft deem it proper to say "The insinuation that there was an attempt to extort money out of McGregor is a lie, without any foundation whatever."

Well, let us see whether our insinuation that this firm did attempt to "extort money" from Mr. McGregor, "i3 a lie." We asserted that this law firm after they had been employed by Mrs. Humaston to commence her suit for a "breach of promise of marriage," addressed a note to Mr. McGregor informing him of that fact. This note is now before us, and bears date November 26th 1870, and in compliance with its request, Mr. McGregor did call and asked to know what amount of damage was claimed. He was informed they did not then know, but would learn in a short time and would inform him. NothiDg more was heard by Mr. MeGregor in relation to the matter, until he received the following letter:

BAIED FC CBUFT, 1

TERREFFICE HAUTE, IND.,

Alex. McGregar, Esq.:

DEAR SIR—Since

Dec. 26, 1870.

our interview with

you, Mrs. Humaston has given us peremptory instructions to commence suit against you for a breach of promise of marriage, unless some settlement can be made. We are now in possession of her terms, and if you desire to hear them and will call on us, we will delay suit until it is ascertained whather or not any settlement can he made. Yours truly,

BAIRD

CRUFT.

The italics are ours, the letter Baird & Cruft's. Does not that look like extorting money from Alexander McGregor? We have "peremptory instructions to commence suit against you," unless some settlement can be made! That is, we will sue you, unless you pay us for not doing it.

What business had the firm of Baird & Cruft with Mr. McGregor? He was not their client, but was the adversary of their client. Why were they addressing notes to him They were emplojted by Mrs. Humaston to attend to, and manage her side of the case. Mr. McGregor had never solicited by note,request, or in personal presence an interview with them until after receiving their letter. Is that a part of the practice of honorable attorneys, to bo employed by one party, and then undertake to advise the other party as to his rights and duties

But we ask the attention of the reader to a careful perusal of the above letter. We are now in possession of her terms, and if you desire to hear them and will call on us, we will delay suit until it is ascertained whether or not ang settlement can be made." Mr. McGregor did call, and these lawyers, who seems to have been managing both sides of the case, then informed him that the whole matter could be hushed up, and never kuown "outside of their office," if lie would pay Jive thousand dollars. Did any pettifogging shysters who revolves around the Five Points of New York, ever resort to a more bold-faced and unprofessional trick, to "extortmoney" from a man of wealth? This letter is signed "Baird & Cruft"— thenam'es of Allen, Mack and Williams do not appear, and we are well satisfied those gentlemen would never have suffered their names to be attached to such a letter. Five thousand dollars was the hush money demanded. Had Messrs. Baird fe Cruft been really friends of Mr. McGregor, and high-minded and honorable lawyers, who desired this .unpleasant suit should be settled without giving it the publicity so mortifying to the defendant and his family, they would have sought only an interview with Mr.McGregor's attorneys, and through them endeavored to effect a settlement. But this was not done, or attempted to be done, for well they knew, that having no sufficient case in law and by the facts, they could not effect a settlement with his lawyers, in which there was the remotest hope of getting $5,000 as "hush money," orany other sum. Can there be anything more unprofessional,

to say the least of it, than this note addressed to the defendant by "the plaintiff's attorneys? If it was not intended to "extort money," what was it intended for?

Mr. McGregor was informed if he would pay $5,600

never be known "outside" of the office of these attorneys. Was this $5,000 to go in part into these attorneys' pockets, as their fee? The plaintiff, as every one knows, is entirely unable to pay a lawyer's fee, even in a very small case. Then we put the question to the reader: what was this letter addressed by the plaintiff's attorneys to the defendant for, in which he is threatened with a harrassing law suit, if he does not pay $5,000, unless it be for the purpose of extorting naoney from him? Is there any other hypothesis for the writing of such a letter?

The card of Baird & Cruft concludes with the following paragraph: "What private griefs Hudson may have against us, as lawyers, we know not, unless it be that we are prosecuting suits against him in the line of our profession.

he expects to deter us from taking suits against him, because he owns a paper, in which he can abuse us, he has mistaken his men."

We have no "private griefs" against the firm of Baird & Cruft, and remain perfectly composed and williug they may prosecute all the suits they can "put up" against us, arid if they are as successful in all, as theoue they receutly backed out of, we think their .sides will grow leaner by reason of the fees they thus secure. But as to us owning a newspaper, if our recollection is not at fault, Gen. Gruft owns one too, and has never let the occasion pass to use its columns to advance the interest of the co-partnership of Baird & Cruft, and sustain his selfish, sinister, ungentlemanly and unprofessionai acts.

We defy them, and their influence, and their legal learning, in ail the suits they may. have now oral any other time against us. They learned but a few days ago how they could be driven from their ideas of what the law is, and how overwhelming the facts of a case can be made, when they come in contact with men who know their rights and dare aud will maintain them. Bereft of all their usual means of success, they dwindled down to pettifogging tricksters, and nothing more.

From the Express.

A Card.

R. N. Hudson, who is now figuring as a defendent in several suits in our courts, yesterday, devoted a column and a half of his paper to the Humaston-McGregor case. He labors to prove that this suit was commenced from one of four causes, either that the plantiff's attorneys did not understand the law of the case, that they did not know what the evidence of the ease was, that they expected to gain the case by packing a jury, or that the suit was brought to extract money from a wealthy citizen.

The suit was commenced by us and the firm of Allen, Mack & Williafos after a full consultation between the firms. It may be true that we did not understand the law of the case, but we knew as much about the evidence as we do now, and both firms were as conversant with the law aud the facts of this case asrthey generally are in auy case.

That we expected to gain this or any other case by tricking or packing a jury, is false, and Hudson can produce no evidence of any attempt at unfairness in the case on the part of the plaintiff' or her attorneys.

The insinuation that there was an attempt to extort money out of McGregor is a lie, without any foundation whatever.

The facts are simply these: When we were employed by Mrs. Humaston, Mr. Baird told Mrs. H. that Mr. McGregor had been his client, that their relations were friendly, and that he did not like to bring the suit against him without first giving him a chance to settle the matter amicably. Mrs. H. told Mr. B. he could do as he pleased that she did not care whether he saw Mr. McGregor or not. Mr. Baird then wrote a pote to Mr. McGregor asking him to call at Our office, which he did. The matter was discussed in a friendly manner in two or three interviews and the bringing of the suit was delayed several weeks at Mr. McGregor's request.

No compromise was effected nor did there seem to be any hope of one. Mr. McGregor had an understanding with Mr. Cruft that the suit would not be commenced till he called again, but not calling aftei4 a number of days, and Mr. Baird, not being fully advised of this arrangement, by the^peremptory direction of Mrs. H. commenced the suit in Mr. CJruft's absence without his knowledge. This is all there is of any attempt by the plaintiff or her attorneys to get money from Mr. McGregor. After the suit was commenced parties friendly to Mr. McGregor, spoke to us on the subject of a settlement, and we offered to give up our fee if that would bring about a compromise. There has been nothing in this case to make it a mark for editorial denunciation. The plaintiff claimed that Mr. McGregor promised to marry heir and had failed to do so, and she sued for damages not to her character, as Hudson supposes, but for breach of tlje contract. Hundreds of such suits have been tried in courts without attracting attention. On the trial, before the evidence had really developed auytliiug, the plaintiffs for reasons satisfactory to herself and counsel, concluded to dismiss her suit aud commence anew. This is nothing new or startling, it is a matter of every day occurrence, as Hudson well knows. Sbe exercised a right comnmu to all fcuitors aud she is not bound to give Hudson the reasons for her action. We are not in the habit of try ing our eases in newspapers., and would not have felt called upon to answer Hudson, if his article did not clearly show that he cares neither for plaintiff nor defendant iu the suit, but merely made the case a pretext for his abusiug us.

While he does not name us, yet he clearly poiuts to us by his reference to the negotiation with Mr. McGregor. He eutirely iguores Messrs. Allen, Mack and Williams, who were in the case from the beginning, and this to create the impression that we "put up" tbis case. We have taken just such interest, and HO more, in this case, as its importance deserved. We were employed iu the regular way. We brought the suit because we believed the plaintiff had a good cause and we have seen nothing yet to change that opinion.

We have extended to Mr. McGregor and his counsel every courtesy in our power during this litigation, delayed the case once or twice to suit the convenience of one of his attorneys, and finally let the counsel fix their own time for the trial, and now we are abus^fl because we tried to settle the matter without a lawsuit.

What private griefs Hudson may have against us, as lawyers, we know not, unless it be that we are prosecuting suits against him in the line of our profession. If he expects to deter us from taking suits against him, because he owns a paper, iu which he can abuse us, hfe has mistaken his men.

If this be true, it will readily be seen that General Grant may easily overthrow all comers iu the Senaca stone matter and the "relations" matter, and yet not have the power of retreating on the Republican side that small but powerful force of the lukewarm "or discontented who really hold the Presidency in their gift.

To those who are Bowed Down by Nervous Debility, and despair of ever recovering the vigor and mien of manhood we earnestly recommend Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters. Before they have finished the first bottle, they will feel the restorative principle at work in every portion of their broken-down systems and hope will spring up in their hearts.

the year 1872 General Grant's successor is to be chosen the Forty-third Congress to be elected.

The people's votes, white and black, North and South, will thus decide the future destiny of the Republic, selett its rulers, prescribe their course.

How to influence the people's votes? By the newspaper—for it includes every other agency. It makes known events and facts —among all influences the chief. It assembles the vaster outside audiences which cannot gather to the State House, the pulpit, or the stump. It is tlie constant interpreter of men's affairs, and of errors or truth is the daily seedsower.

Next November is our political harvest-time. As we sow we shall reap. THE WORLD'S seed-sowing will be fruitful to the extent that its circulation is widely pushed by those who approve its aim.-

THE WORLD will aim to represent and com bine the labors ami votes of I.—All those who find best insurance of the people's prosperity, peace and progressin a gov ernmeut administered on the principles and in the pure practice of Jefferson and Jackson, and who descry the fount and origin of the present corruptions, extravagance misgovernment, subversion of public liberties, and insecurity of private rights in our rulers' lawless usurpation of interdicted and undelegated powersusurpation that to-day marches deliberately on to the subjugation of popular rule and the possession of dictatorial power—for by acts of Congress General Grant may even now destroy the freedom of State elections, invade the States at his pleasure, and declare martial law of his own free will.

II.—All those who would maintain the honor of the republic, and would preserve public ere ditby punctual payment of the public debts.

III.—All thoso who would cut down to fewer and fit objects all appropriations of the people's money (to-day more than douole, nearly treble, the appropriations of a Democratic Congress eleven years ago, not counting annuities to Indians, pensigns to soldiers, and interest on debt) and who would oblige all spending of the people's money got by taxes, to be with honesty and thrift likewise all those who would spare a little of the people's landed estate for the landless millions hereafter and stop its squandering dominions in a day upon those who already own much.

IV.—All those,who would reduce the number of commodities taxed by our tariff from thousands to a few dozens, and so empty our custom-houses of half their officials, rid the statute books of half their odious snares for honesty or bribes to fraud and unfetter scores of our native industries.

V.—All those who would lower the rates also of our tariff taxes to the point of most easily yielding the largest revenue—who would abandon the protectionist system of reducing the revenue whilst increasing the extortionate profits of a few at the expense of all othog industries.

VI.—All those who would abolish every un lawful tax, like that on incomes every unjust tax like that which gives banks the people's profits on a national currency every unequal and indeterminate tax, like that levied most cruelly upon the poor—the tax of our irredeemable paper-money.

TO YOU ALL!

TJie Old Year, with its pleasures and cares, its strug

gles and its triumphs, has joined the ages of the years that are past. It was a year of bright promise to us, and it has not left its pledges unfulfilled. Our highest anticipa

tions have been more than realized, aud we have been enabled to plant our flag higher

upon the battlements of the enemy than ever before. We trust it has treated with

equal kindness all of the many thousands of our customers whom we wished a happy

New Year a year ago to-day. If to some it has not been thus gracious, we ask for them

a double portion of joy in the year to come.

To-day, then, we Bring you Glad Greeting!

A new year opens upon us fresh duties beckon us forward new opportunities are

arising, and greater achievements must be accomplished. Wo are no longer strangers

to each other. The clear, untarnished record of nearly two years is before you, and

in its light you have been kind enough to judge us. We start to-day upon the New

Year with fairer prospects for the future than ever before. We have lived down the

slanders of our enemies, and have forced some of them to admit the monstrous false

hoods they have uttered against us. We have gained the confidence and support of a

larger constituency of customers than has ever been secured by any other retail Dry.

Goods establishment in Western Indiana. Our sales now equal jf in fact they do not

largely exceed the combined sales of any t\vo of our competitors, and yet the year up-

®n which we have just entered must witness still greater achievements won by us over

the ruinous old-fashioned credit credit system of the High-priced Siores.
