EXPLAINING HIS POSITION. 7o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : CuicAGo, Dec. 16.—I ree by your Sunday’s is- o that a correspondent, ** 8," feels hurt at the tone snd tenor of my last communication on this subject.

O rather, not to eliminate all this, but to take it henceforth in its true sense—that is in its figurativo scuse—aud mot any longer in its Literal scuse, a8 & narration of. facts ‘actually happening. The first thing ho disminscs is the story of Adam's fall. “Sooner or later, ns our expsrience widens, we must e that the etory is Dot true; we mustinevita- bly cometo sy to ourselves: *It js all o legend! It pever reallv happencd, any of it? It fsino faore el than the Peruvian nccount of Manco Capac and Mama Ocollo, the children of the Sun. . . .

Justice puts in her claim, said Mr. Moody, for the punishment of guitty mankind; God admits It, Jesus interoedes, undertakes o besr thelr punisbiment, and signs an undertaking 1o that effect. Thousands of Years pass; Jesus 8 on the cross o Calvary. Justifo appears, sud prescats to Him His sigued underiaking.

These personsges never Qid meet together, and speak, And act, in the manuer related. The personiages of the Christian Heaven and their converssiions are no more matter of fact than the peraonsges of tie Greek Olympus and thelr con- versations. _Bir Robert Phillimore seeks to tis ip the Church of Engla] to 5 belief in tho personality of Satan, and ho might 28 well seek to tie it up to a be lief $8) the Personality of Tisiphone.

A'few years ago, being & member of & country church of the first class, as to memberehip, sal- ary, €tc., our pastor resigned.

Among tha Protestant Episcopalians the Bishops huve oo wuch powar, except in missionary districts. and there is a desire aAmong some yersons to give it to them, snd then to make the choice of the rogular pastors depend upon the Bishops' judg- ment. It is evident that the American senti- ment does not tend to this concentration of power, and that the peouliar organization of parishes among us doos not favor it.

J.: Browa, of Evanston, now generally. koown to bb theauthor of the eams. This Mr. Brown having, with the aid of his brothers-in-law, : Dunlap and Forrest, and their partner, F.H. Bonson (the latter of whom k43 slnce Berved a. term of five yeats in the Peititontiscy), hunted ' mo through the courfs of this Ssate for nearly ten years,” and baving becn foally and com- pletely worsted in his many suits Egainst me, now comas forward (iu.ftoz the lapso of many years ginca the litigation has beeh ended) in the shape of an anonyhious atd malignant pamphlet, ! hoping no doubt in_this way to defeat my . blec~ tion $4 the Judgeship of tho Sapreme Coutt and thereby pratify his desire for revenge. Tho ehortness of the timo before tho election wiil not pormit my muking an elaborate reply at’ presont. , In due time Lhe public will know in an authoritative way how falsely and grossly I hava beeh abused. Before proceeding to speak in do- tafl of tho aeveral cases referrad to by Mr. Brown in his pamphlet, I call the rogder’s attan. tion to the foliowing facts : First—That in ev- ery case gxcept to in which iny namo fignres, Brotn, 0d his brother:in-law Dunlap, and his brother-in-law Forrsst, and the brothers of this brothor-in-law Forrest, and the coavict Benson or somd one or miore of them, wero parties or ‘witaesses, or both, and in the w0 excepted cases Brown acted as attoroey. . “Bocond—The pretended statements of facts in tho mevaral vases tsferred o are not atifhoty from thie records in those cases, but the slande) ous words of Brown himsalf, e Third—\here extracts from opinions of the Supreme Court are given they sre garbled and untrnthful, ws instance the following from ths last case of Brown vs, Hord etal., page 12 of pampblet: ‘It is with reluctance that we # Mark the stars; a eompalled to aflirm the decroe of the Court laco of, and what lo in this case, *. & & mark what thoy.stand in Brown omits.

Whethsr he wasalso furniehed money to make Brown’s part of the - psymeat, I do not _know. After Beuson's failurs, it was fonud that, instead of making the payment a8 he shonld bave done, hohad appropiiated the money to his own uge, a0d procured an extonsion of the psyment, and conseynontly my money was lost, and part of the payment remsained aupaid. Brown contended that I should pay mord than half the whole amount of the Iast payment, and thus compelled & suit on the part of Heartt, to which I think Brown was a party defendant with myself.

Much is made of | this oase by Mr. Brown in his pamphlet, buta | true statextent of it may be summed up ns fol- lows: Iheld judgments against Donlap, San- ford & Co., which wero liens upon tho proverty i of Dunlap-Beason, acting 5s tha sgont of Dun- lip and Dr. Blaney, negotiated n sala of part of s property to Bm:? while those And other judgment liens exist: regenting to Blaney ! that the proberty was clear of incumbrance. | When I gought payment of my judgmenta aod | threatsned to enforde them sgainst this prop- | erty, Bonson prevailed upon me to delsy doing | 10 oa the promise that the mobey wonid be com. | ing into his hands with which bo would pay my | judgments. Finding. after z long tims, that his | promides wers not fulfilled, bat that he had caused the property to be soldon execution upon & judgment prior to my own, and had bid it in for the sum of nhout 24, and the timo for redemption about to expire, I cansed execution ©n one of my jadgments to be levied upon the | property. st the same time redeemiag | from thé sale to Benson, and in due time the proporty was resold by the Shériff, and no | person bidding more thsn the redemution money, | it was struck off tome for that amonnt, anda | deed issued to me immedistoly, a3 the law al- lowed. This was immediately made known by mo to Benson, mud by him, 28 I supposo, to Eaton, as an attorney #0on after callad upoh mo to know what amount would rededm the prop- .| erty, to whom I replied the amouant of my judg-+ ments, about $4,000. This be.refused o pay, and & bill was filed 20d & decreo obtnained in the Cook Connty Cowtt of Common Pleas, setting zaide the sale. Thia decres was affirmed in tho | Sapreme Court on the gronnd that if I bad been | more dlilgent in preesiog the énforcement of | wmy judgments, [ might bave made my money | out of other property of Dunlap, znd ohght therefora to be_eetopped enforcing my judg- | men!s ageiust this par-icalar piece of property in the hands of Blaney's grantee.

The accomat in this matter ran | through many years, but it is my. belief conld | have been easily sottled betwoen Mr. Goodrich | ond myself had it-uot been tor the officious in- terference of Mr. Lrown, which “was exhibited much in the same spiric 28 hia interferepcs in the eloction ta the ouice to which I have been nominated. This interforence consisted in mis- represontations as to_my business operations, and his iosisting that I received a pagment from Mr. Goodrich which Mr. Goodrich &t first testt- fied e had never to His recollection made, and which Ihad no recollection ot account of his haviog mado. If the case is carefully and honestly examined, I feel satisfed that it will appoac that, so far a3 Mr. Goodiich and myself | aro concernodq, thers was an housst dilference between us, about which Mr. Drown kasno basi- ness to concern himself. xS 1f the reader will turn to_tha last thros pazes of Mr. Brown's pamphlet andraad the sams with care I think he will need no beiter evidsuce of the spirit of their author than he will And shere- in. I willnotios but one or o of Lis state- ments in those pazes. One is that I have besa conspicuous in fighting ay [Evanaton taxes, and havo successfully rasisied the payment of as- sesaments for improving my neighbochood. I have nbyer reslated an Evanston tax, and no tax oOr 8Bsessment againSt me Or mY Properiy in [Evanston remains uapaid. Again besays that [ | have had the boundarias established and changed by legiaiation for my own benefit. “The bounda- ries of Evanston wore never either established or . changed by act of the Legielatars and never chauged in any way sinca they were entablished, whea -the town: was incorporated under the generai law, except by annexations to the town. Agsin, he accuses me of sttempting to induce the people to adopt a charter which would have introdaced drunkenness, and crime, - and every form of misery, pove:rty, and 3 dation into tha strests of Evanston, which he 8ays are now fres from the samo. How he ar- rives at this conclusion is beyond my compre- bension; perhaps it is the result of & desp in- vestigation of this able lawyer not within the as Brown hed done, that I should psy more than the half of the payment due, and ot first the Court, Judge Mariorre, took tho same view. In the hest of the argument I gavs offenss to tho Judge by something I said, sod he ordered me to sit down; aftervards he acknowledged hia error, apologized for his treatment to me, and rendered a Gecree in accordance with my viewa of the case. According to my present recollec~ tion I was not a witness in- the case, and, as the .law then atood, being a party to the suit could not have been euch, and no Buch sceno as that represented by Mr. Brown in his pamphlet did or conld have oc- curred, and consequently the supposed rematk of *an intelligent observer at the trial that Hurd will not only awesr to a le, bat what he &nowa you know ke knowsto be a lie,” g 2 fig- ment of Mr. Brown's cwn braiu, Haggorty yn. Hurd ot al. 24 Ill, 171. This wag A case which grew out of a partnership business of Danlap, Wright & Co., who carried on & planing-miil, in which Hurd owned a small interest. Dunlap, mrosging man of the firm, and the brother-in-law, of Brown, borrowed of Haggerty on'his_own pote, guaranteed by Ben- sou. the um of 3600. This money was put into tho firm as part of Dunlap’a share of the capital, and to make himself equal with the other part- Ders. When tlio noto becamo dus, Duaiap took it up with a note of the firm. This pro- ceadiog v I claimed to be a fraud on -- the - partnership, zud resisied the payment, a3 wag clearly 1y right to do. It Was, however, proved omr thd trial that when the firm note was substitated for the individnal note of Dunlap;-he (Dunlap) represented to H’m‘a“emm the other members of the firm hid " authorized such sabstitution, ‘and “the jury, as I believed, wrongfully’ found for Hag- gerty. Brown vs. Hurd, 25 I1L, 616 ; 41 111, 121 2125 These are casea aiso growing out of tho frm bueinees of Dunlyp, Wrizht & Co. In May, 1861, I sold out my interest in this firm to one Bauford, who took my share of the property and assumed my ahave of the debts, snd bscame an active membar of the firm, the etylo belng changed to Duniap, Banford & Co.

Ho claimed that they had been dizcounted by Forrest Broe. & Co., and finally bought by-Brown of the Forrests, fa s land trade.

All the seversl suits between Brown and Hurd roferred to in the pamphlet were brought to “recover the amount ‘of thesa notss. Brown claims that I procured a e in the law of evidence which affectad theae cases. This i8 not true, A change was made in the law of evidence, ‘but not 1n_time to affect this case ; Now it ia because that I would not submit to -pey these notas, given, as thoy wora by Dualap, Dpayabls to iRiown (his brosher-in-law), lathe - growv out of my connoction with these men. gragp of other legal minds. = Again, he intimates .that a portion of my property in Evanston wasa gift from o * a gentleman,” meaning bimself, when the fact i that pxoferey was taken by mo in a division of our parinership proparty, upon which I had paid soms $5,000 more than he, and which he kept me oat of for & number of years. My business connections with A. J. Brown and his brother-in-law Dunlsp aad nis brother- in-law Forrest and his friend and partner Benson haveé been the misforinnes of my_life, and well Dnigh Dacame my fiosncial rain. By the failare of Bensou I Jost betwoen £4.000 and £6,000. By the failure of Duniap I lost & considerable amount of money whioh I had losned to him, and other awounts whore I had become his se- curity, ' amountiog in all to about 5,000. And " Browa by his delays 1n seitling with . me kept me. out ' of betweau $2,000 and 24,000 from 183t to 1661, and by his parsistent and vindictiva litigations bas put meto grest expense and trouble. In all these litigations between myself and these ‘men, not one of them was instituted by me. In a business of considarable magnitudo, cover- .ing & period of nearly thirty yeaws, I have scarcely bad & misunderatanding which did not T'have ho time or dirposition st the present to add sny reflestions in regard to this most extra- ordinary exhibition of spleen by Mr. Brown. If he shali succeed in dafeating my election he will be happy : if he fails he will, no doubt, in his own estimation, have ampls resson for further complaint, H. B.
