This statement of Mr. Coon has been taken by certain Northern papers as a ground of attack upon not only ; this State but the South, and a great injustice has been done. State Superintendent J. V. Joy-, has shown the absurdity and incorrectness of Mr. Coon's but the papers that have used the latter will take no pains to refer to Mr. statement correct the wrong that has been done. Peary is a line one, and if he goes much fort her his assaults on Cook he will get the public to believing he did no really reach the North Pole.
