Attorney General Garnett's reply to
the published letter of Justus Goebel,
appeared in the Louisville Courier
Journal last Saturday. It is plain,
honest and positive, and refutes every
insinuation of the infidelity charged
an the Goebel letter. Mr. Garnett
shows conclusively that he has been
true to every trust, that Jie holds no
position that he cannot successfully
defend, and that Mr. Goebel appears
to have wilfully tried to injure him.
Tie not only shows a clean handed,
but a clear headed handling of the
State's interests in the litigation now
pending: that the State and the coun
ties through which the various rail
toads run that are resisting the in
creased assessments, but paying under
a court ruling an increase in taxes
that will amount to more than $1,000
000 during the four years of the pres
ent administration, and that this is
being done without taking from the
State unnecessary fees for special
counsel, or the counties giving up a
heavy per cent., of the amount col
lected, lie States that Mr. Goebel
sought to have other attorneys em
ployed, and paid large fees to assist in
prosecuting the cases: that the same
Goebel also sought a contract with
the counties to employ special counsel
. on a 20 per cent basis. Both these
propositions failed to meet the ap
proval of the Attorney General, and
for these reasons it appears that Mr.
Goebel seeks to wreak vengeance. It
looks a plain case of trying to destroy
a public olBcial lather than advance
the public good. To our mind Mr.
Goebel, all along, has been assuming
responsibilities too distant for a pri
vate citizen. lie appears a self ap
pointed guardian of the peoples inter
est, but his favorite Attorneys failed
to get in the case and get out of the
peoples taxes thousand of dollars be
cause James Garnett's honesty would
not stand for such a holdup.
It ought to be plain to every honest
man in the State that Justus Goebel
Is seeking to destroy the Attorney
General: that his actions rests on ill
will engendered by reason of the fact
that the Attorney General refused to
3'ield to his dictations depriving cer
tain attorneys from receiving large
fees from the State and 20 per cent,
from the counties, when the legal de
partment of the State was amply able
to do the service and is doing it as
well as if all Mr. Goebel 's friends had
"been employed. Criticism of public
officials may be expected, and few, if
any, escape it, but to undertake todes.
tro. rather than adyise, apparantly
to satisfy a spite ought to be con
den med by every honest man. Mr.
Garnett may make mistakes as head
of the legal department of this State,
"but one thing certain, we whoknowhim
Icnow that he will not do a dishonora
ble act to gain Mr. Goebel's good will
or io advance his own interest. He is
honest, got the courage to stand firm
for conviction and the ability and dis
erevrness to take care of the State's
iuteiests in any crisis that may arise.
Two years ago Senator Scott be
came interested in this measure
and introduced it in the Senate,
Mr. Dickey, representative from
Barren, introduced it in the
House. It passed the House,
but met its defeat in the closing
hours of the Senate by methods
well-known to the people of this
section. The call for help in
presenting this measure for fa
vorable action of the House was
answered by Messrs. Mitchell
and Bryant of this town, whose
enthusiasm and persistency ev
idently aroused much interest in
the measure that would not have
been stirred had they remained
at home. The fact is that those
who favor the change can well
afford to give three cheers to
Senator Scott, three to Walker
Bryant and three to S. H. Mitch-

monton, whose unflinching
efforts changed Adair county's
senatorial relationship in this
session of the Legislature just
closed. This measure places
