Guiteau’s Trial—The Evidence .all
in.
We see, from our exchanges,
that the testimony iu the Gui
teau trial was concluded on
Wednesday the 4lh instant, and
that coart adjourned until Satur
day the 7111 to- give the lawyers
lor the defence, time to prepare
their law points for submission
before the making of the speech
es to the j,ury begins.
HENLEY'S REPLY.
Mr. Cagle Begins to Champ the
Bits.
Jasper, Ga„ Jan. s tTi, IBS2.
‘•As a dog returneth to his
vomit, so a foot returneth to his
folly.”
Never was this proverb more
clearly versified, than in the
case ol our opponent. Again he
comes at us foaming and froth
ing at the mouth, and as it were,
strains the wonderful amplitude
©f liis enormous duodenum to be
smear our garments with the
bile that issue from his foul
stomach, but alas for him I he
has missed his mark.
We shall reply to Mr. Cagle’s
communication of Dec, 7th, in as
lew words as possible, for we do
not wish to waste time in further
controversy with a man that does
not know argument when he
sees it.
Mr. Cagle still insists that I
have misrepresented him, and
intimates that he produced no ar
gument to prove “it is no harm
for a member of the church to
still.” His own argument which
was produced in a former com
munication of ours, is enough to
satisfy the readers of the Courier
that he did produce such argu
ment, but as additional evidence,
below we give the words of Rev.
Henry G. Turner, with whom
Mr. Cagle had the controversy
at Bethany church. In reply to
a communication of ours, asking
whether or not he understood
Mr. Cagle to argue that it is no
harm for a member of the church
to still.
Mr. Turner said : You wanted
to know if I understood Brother
Cagle to argue that it is no harm
lora member of the church to
still ; that was my understand
ig, for Brother Cagle opposed
nearly everything I said.
H. G. Z Turner.
Mr. Turner argued against
members of the church stilling
and it was in opposition to this
argument that Mr. Cagle brought
in his dry weather sermon and
said a mau could make harm of
anything, &c. But Mr. Cagle
now tries to get out of it by say
ing, “He,” (refering to myself.)
“has forgot it was on a funeral
occasion.” Does the man mean
to say that he applied his argu
ment to the funeral ? What does,
—“a man can make harm of
anything, and if every body had
prayed for rain at the same time,
it would not have rained a sin
gle drop more”—have to do with
the funeral of a body. ? Does he
mean to say that is any reason
for the body’s being saved or
lost, or that it ought or ought
not to have fallen in the creek ?
Mr. Cagle’s application of the ar
gument leads in many perplex
ities and absurdities eyerytime,
and he can’t reconcile this disa
greement until he confesses his
argument, the offspring of his
own befogged brain, and applies
it to the stilling question.
Mr. Cagle says I don’t know
whether he is in favor of church
member’s stilling or not and that
I beg nim to get off the fence
and let me know where he
stands. I only asked him to get
off the fence that the readers of
the Courier might know his po
sition, for, as to my part, I am
satisfied that he is in favor of
members of the church stilling,
or else he would quit the busi
ness, and, further more, 1 have
tlie written word of a number of
responsible members of the Bap
list church —men of as high
standing as Fickens county at*
fords, and men who would swear
that Mr. Cagle said at Refuge
church that, “II he was to go to
a man who was violating the
law in selling liquor and was to
! get into the confidence of such
a man enough to get the liquor,
lie would not report him,’’ and
tiie question was asked, “Bui
suppose some other man was to
see.you buy the liquor and re
port the man selling and have
you summoned as a witness,
what then would you do?” Mr.
Cagle replied : “I. wouldn’t tell
I it, they just couldn’t get it.”
I Now as to his voluntarily re
[ porting, tit is shows man, bul
could he, when brought upon the
witness stand, tell “the whole
Iruiii and nothing but the truth
so help me God,” under such
circumstances and not tell that
lie bought the liquor ? This with
in itself shows Mr. Cagle’s where
abouls. talk about my - not
knowing where he sound*, when
lie is continually carr mg off
loads of liquor.
Mr. Cagle boastinglv says: j
“I am a Bapusl Minister, cloth
ed with lull authority from (he
church to do the work of a min
ister.” Does that work consist
in carrying pot ale from a still to
a beer stand and mashing in
meal, when widows and poor
people are suffering for bread ?
Is this the work of a minister?
Mr. Cagle lias been seen doing
this.
He further says :
“I belong to that sect thal
every wheie is spoken against.
Mr. Henley professes to belong
to the same. But he has sided
aud associated with the enemy
so long that he has retrograded
irom the faith, and the salt has
lost its savor.” Certainly 1 am
a Baptist and I atn oroud ot the
name, and if I have retrograded
so far as Mr Cagle says, it is hi
duty as a “Minister, clolhed with
full authority from the church,”
to report my case to Zion Hill
church, Wood Lawn Post Office,
Murray county Ga., aud hive it
attended to at once.
But what charges does lie
bring against me ? Wherein have
I sided with the enemy ? Why,
Mr. Cagle says lhat when I was
editing the Fickens Department
in the Courier that I would “l ell
about Col. Simmons being gone
to Atlanta, and that Mr. Sim
mons had come from Ludville to
spend a few days at Jasper, and
that Mr. Tate would make forty
bushels of corn to the acre, and
how large a water melon Mr.
Tate had raised,” &c. &c.
Poor jealous full fledged Min
ister! How low he will stoop to
try to arouse a prejudice in his
favor. I presume he would have
been perfectly satisfied and
would have thought I represent
ed the people' in general, if I had
announced, in a local, that Bro.
William Cagle was making two
gallons of good corn whisky to
the bushel. Certainly the gen
tleman was tight up for argu
ment, or he never would have
stooped to trifles for capital.
Mr. Cagle compares us to a
box of Tutl’s Filis and thinks a
one cent stamD would be sufli
cient. We would say to the
gentleman that a few' of Tutt’s
Fills applied now might work
his soul’s salvation if they could
only have purgative force enough
to work him out of that Govern
ment Distillery. Certainly the
still house would be purer.
He makes a main lunge at the
Jasper Institute, and says it is
typical of a young wasp, &c.; of
couise, any academy will be very
indicative of a wasp to him, edu
cation and refinement always
catches a man of his stripe with
his britches down, and stings him
in a tender place.
Mr. Cagle boasts of eating
meat, &c. He misunderstood us
when we spoke of the hog hole,
we didn’t mean the hog in the
hole but the hole in the hog.
He proposes to give me a job
of ditching, and uroposes to pay
me in meat. 1 believe I wiU
lake the job and cajhi probably
get some oilier help providing he
will stop llie slUt f and give us
part pay :n Howevei [ am
consoled at th# thought that,
“Better is a little wilh righteous
ness, l ban great revenues with
out right.”
We now bid Mr. Ca'gle adieu,
and leave him to woifoV iii Ins
own slime, for though like the
lizard’s lad, when cut from the
body, lie still wiggles, we know
his life as an influential Minister
will close with the setting of the
sun. John W. Henley.
The Sun.
NEW YORK, 1882
The Sun for 1882 will riiuke i:s fit"
