A Base Slander Refuted.onEvansville, Ind., Aug. 2,1869.auditor People's Advocate: In theDearborn Independent of July 29th, I** 1869, a paper published in your city, I find the following paragraph; “A report has been in circulation the past few days, with how much truth we do not know, that Mr. Kempf, formerly a baker of this city, and builder of the First National Bank building, has been sent to the penitentiary from Evansville, for a term of seven years, for counterfeiting.” I resided at Aurora,I was formerly a baker, and 1 put up the First National Bank building in your city; and for about t wo years 1 have resided in the city of Evansvilleand the vicinity; hence I am the idem-*• 1tical Mr. Kempf, mentioned in the Independent.—And I ask the privilege of saying to the public, through the columns of your paper, that I am at home withmv wife and children—1 have not been sent to the penitentiary for a termwolislUrdeisixdeiex:masletintwtalexevilocof aovon for counterfeiting; IW.waedhcisidCO!exlt;atrylatsohave neither been accused, nor tried for counterfeiting, nor anv other crime.

The report, (if there was such a one in circulation.) was and is utterly false and slanderous —and the publication libellious—there never having been the slightest founda-tion, in truth, for any such report.M.
