Aduilssiiin 2.)cta. We quote the tollowiug paragraph f rom a characteristic and atrabilariau screed whieh appeared m the Courier of last week, under the heading " Fond and Douglaa va. Christiancy": " We kuow from kearsay that Ashiey Pond is the brother of Elihu B. Pond who is the editor of the Ann Arbob Aegus. We know (from liearsay) that just at the time when Judge Huntiugton was contemplating calling another judge, there appeared iu the Argus a httle paragraph so uearly in the exact language of the following : ' We hope, however, he heard it bacause it was his duty to do so, and to have slirank from it on account of the clamor and bull-doziug of Beal, or from any foar of what ruight be in reserve for him iu the future, would have been pusülanimous.' Which we clip from the open letter of Pond and Dogla8 to Christiancy ; that we are torced to believo (trom hearaay) that both items were peuned by the same hand, and have well serred their day and purpose." Now, will the editor of the Courier be so good as to name the number of the Aeqü3 in which he iound " a little paragraph " which can by any method of interpretation be tortured iuto the slightest resemblance to the quotation, or which even expressed a desire thsit Judgo Huntington should persist in tryiug tKe laboratory case himselt ï or failing to do so, stand up and confesa what we know, what every reader of the Akgus knows, and what he (the Courier editor) knows, that nis assertion, " We kuow that just at the time when Judge Huntington was contemplating calling in another judge, there appeared in the Argus a little paragraph so nearly in the exact language of the following " (see quotation above), is manufacturad from cloth without eithBr warp or woof, with not so niuch substauce as " the Daseless fabric of a dream," or, " in language that's plain," a willful and malicious lie. It is, however, a lie in the chosen line of our neighbor's imssion : to blacken everybody who differs froni luni in opinión, or refuses to aid him in doing his dirty work. The Hillsdale Standard, undosignedly no doubt, does injustice to Judge Huutington in this paragraph clipped from the issue of February 19 : "Judge Huutington, at Ann Arbor, gave his decisión in the Bose-Douglas case Saturday last. A motion was made by the counsel of the Regents of the University to delay the decisión, but 110 notice was taken of the motion." Judge Granger, of this city, successor to Judge Chnstiancy by appointmeut of the Executive Committee (or a portion of it), asked delay to euable him to look over the papers. Hon. W. L. Webber, the other counsel, objected to delay as unuecessary and not caleulated to subserve the interests of the Uuiversity. His instructions from the Regeuts an l the terms of the stipulation sigued by all the parties to the cau3e made it his duty to urge the immediate entering of a fina decree. At the March session of the Board of Regeuts, alter directing the ameudment of the then pending chancery bill so as to place defeudants Rose and Douglas on auequality, the following resolutiou was adopted : Resolved, That the Executive Committee be requested to press the pending clianceiy suit to a final determiuatiou with the least practicable .delay. And at a session of the Board held May 2 the following resolution was uuanimously adopted. Resolved, That the Extcutive Committee be and they are hereby instructed to bring the present chancery suit between this Board aud S. H. Douglas aud P. B. Rose and his bondsmen to a hearing at the coming June term of the Circuit Court tor Washteuaw County. We can find no resolutiou of record since adopted authorizmg either the Executive Committee or the counsel of the Regents to ask for or couseut to any delay. In not consenting to delay Mr. Webber did only hú duty, and in denying the very singular request of Mr. Webber's associato Judge Huntiugton did just what his duty would have required him to do in any other case. And why should he have made this case au exceftional one ?
