guides the conduct of those who having lost
all character forthone«ty, Bpitefullv resolve
to do others all the harm in their |iowcr,
by means however base or trcaehorous.
We pronounce the above from the Ua
Z'ttr, a compound pure falsehood and
meaness. It ia untrue frotn the beirinning
to the md. Il has not even the hliadow of
truth to support it. It is true Sanders is
only the tool in publishing it, for we have
it from good authority that the stateim nts
came from the office of lohn F. Dillon. The
fact are as follows:
.fudge Mitchell was occupying the Bench
as Judge of tlie District. He signified to
the members of the Scott county Bar his in.
tention of resinning. A meeting of the law
yers* of all patties convened anil sent for
Judge Bennett, leijiiesting liitn to permit
them to ask the Governor for his appoint
ment. Judge Bennett s.iid it was a sudden
thing, he would think of it, and if the Bar
was unanimous, he would not decline the
appointment.
A petition was gotten up ami signet! gen
erally by the lawyers, and shown to.lud^e
Bennett, and on looking it over and not
seeing the name of Dillon on the pel it ion,
he had an interview with Dillon, saying to
him, that il he (Dillon) wanted the i-flice,
he (Bennett) would not apply for it. Dil
lon said he did not not want it, and then
put hts name to the petition, asking for
Judge Bennett's appointment.
'1 he petition went?forward to the Gover
nor. lie was absent, and the Secretary of
State, Mr. Sell*, filled up the enrntuHsion
and forwarded it to Jud-e Bennett. After
wards, Judge Bcunett not wishing to act
under a couimis-ion not approved by the
Governor, wrote to Mr. Sells, returning the
commission, anil requesting the approval of
Gov. rimes. Mr. Sells returned the com
mission, stating that he had written to the
Go\ ernor, and he had fully approved of it.
This came too late for Judge Bennett to go
Jackson county to hold a court, and no term
of the court was holder in that county at
that time, showing that Judge Bennett did
not start without delay on the circuit."
Judge Bennett never had his commission
revoked, and never did i ny act. as Judge
except acknowledge one deed, until possess
ed of the full appoinment of Governor
Grimes, and never showed any "urgent
and prolonged solicitations" for the appoint
menk
But alas for journalism, when such pa
pers as the Gazette is supported by a clique,
who demand of it the suppjession of truth
and the manufacture o^ falsehood, as a con
dition of its existence. No man livea who
sustains a purer reputation than Hon. A.
H. Bennett In private lite he is a model of
virtue. As a judge of law, we have only
to say, that it is the unanimous voice of the
Bars of all the counties in this District,
that no man has ever filled the office of Dis
trict Judge so ably, so impartially, so hon
estly, and so acceptably as has Judge Ben
nett Not long ago the Gazette was puffing
Judge Bennett to the skies. He was ac
cording to the Gazette, a model Judge. But
alas! how changed is that ignoble journal!
Its owners at the Marble Bank have com
manded it to vilify one of our best citizens,
and it pours out co'umn after column of
falsehood, disgusting to the sensible men of
the party for whom it acts. When will

to take some security of my divot ced wife,
and on the KOth of June, 185fi, she gave
hiin a mortgage to indemnify him against
any damages which I might recover off hitu

Soon after her divorce, my wife removed

I returned from California—detained lon

of $2,' t',0 js, aa will appear and can be
proven by an account to which bis name is
signed, rendered by him to me since n y re
turn from California, which you can see ty
calling on me.
I immediately went to my farm and found
E. Pierson, as renter, occupying my home,
and his lease was not out nntil March, 1858.
On or about the 20th day of August, 1867,
I erected a small dwelling on my farm, and
staid there in possession of the premises un
til Pierson moved out, and then I moved
into the old homestead house, and have been
there ever since.
The last of February or first of March,
while living on said lands, and after I had
filed a bill to set aside the fraudulent con
veyance, Wm. P. Clarke, acting or assum
ing to act for said Gideon, leased or preten
ded to lease my farm to Boyd Wilkinson.
Why was this done wheu the matter was
pending in law, and myself in possession
then for more than six months?
On the 22d of Match, 1858, after said
lease was given, Wilkinson came to where
I lived, and in presence of myself and Jaa.
Studer, and within hearing of Marcus Mc
Dermot, threatened to take my life, if i did
not leave my premises—calling them his—
and that night several balls were shot into
my shanty, which I was living in, and had
put up to live in until Pierson moved out
of my old home.
My friends advised no violence cxcept in
sell-defence, and to resort for protection to
the law. Accordingly, the next day I had
Wilkinson brought before Horace Tuttle, a
kh. d.r.»d..U, .nd mddilioo.1 i„d,b«d. t?
peace. This he refused to do, and a mitti
mus was handed to A. T. McKlwaine, con
stable, who took Wilkinson, at his request,
into Wm. Penn Clark's—his attorney—of
fice, and delivered him to Johnston Orr,
deputy sheriff and jailor of Johnson eounty.
Clarke told Orr that he would be responsi
ble for Wilkinson, «nd not to put him in
jail, aa he (Wm. P. Clarke) wished to en«
out a habt*M emrjm, or words to that effiset.
Clarke kept the mittiuiM from, 1 think,

maintgin due rt ,-peet for the laws, of the
land, and lo support, by all legal measures,
the good niitl peac of society yet, as it is
evident that, the rights of said Clark have
been trampled oil, and the officer charged
with the custody of the.se d.-speradoes has
pel milled their leader to run at lurge, atler

and the inalienable rights of the cili/.eiis are

duly to assist in ruaiutaing those glits, at

were unanimotndy adopted.

meeting be published in the Iowa Slate Re

Things went on thus until the night of
May 11th, l».7t, or about that time, when
my barn was huri.cd down with two hor
ses and oth-:r proper!j*. This aroused my
frienda who were led to believe, from all
the circumstances, that Wilkinson was the
incendiary. They assemble'! to the num
ber of about thirty, went to Wilkinson resi
dence, found hint hit! in the cellar, ami
while engaged in removing him, according
to their declared inteutiou, he effected his
escape, leaped into the Iowa River and was
drowned.
They ejected him thus from the shantee
which lie was ocupying on one corner of
ray premises, us tenant at will of Pierson,
With no intent to injure hini as they aver,
and as I am perfectly well satisfied.
It may not be improper to .publish iu this
connection, to illustrate more clearly the
situation in which my life was piaceJ, and
