Text Any textual data included in the document A scurrilous sheet, published on the Meridian Railroad, has recently outraged Representative <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/cicero-mitchell--holmes-county">Cicero Mitchell</a> by stating that he went to the celebration at Vicksburg accompanied by a bawd, when he went there accompanied, in fact, by his daughter. The author of that disgraceful libel accepts the correction of it published in this journal, but attempts to skulk out of it under the technical plea that the libel was put under that old safeguard of scurrility, "we are informed!" "They say," "we are informed," "I am told," "it is said," are stock phrases in the mouth of people who speak lying evil of their neighbors; and have a universal acceptation amongst decent men, which but goes to deprive them as the means employed for covering up falsehood by malicious cunning.

Text Any textual data included in the document A CARD. Mr. EDITOR: A scandalous misrepresentation in the "Brandon Republican" of the 19th, charges that I went to the celebration of the Fifteenth Amendment, at Vicksburg, accompanied by a prostitute. A man of family who has maintained in his humble life a reputation among the white and the colored people of my county for honesty and decency from boyhood, this outrage upon me would be a great crime, even though the young lady accompany me on the occasion referred to, was not the pride and light of my home - my daughter. In thus setting right this infamous libel before the public, I have no words to waste on the wretched man who can permit party passions to make him responsible for such atrocity against the private character of decent men. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/cicero-mitchell--holmes-county">CICERO MITCHELL</a>.
