THE PLUNDERERS |!

The Globe of Saturday said the Madisonian
was sustained by Executive "jobs and con-
tracts" when it knew we had neither to the
value of dollar.
But what will the country say to the state
ment below, taken from Kendas last Expositor,
wherein it appears that the Government was
PLUNDERED of the enormous sum of $500,
by the editor of the Globe, for printing merely a
"PERSONAL VINDICATION" of one of
the heads of Departments The money was
paid in 1910, just before Mr. Van Buren, was
defeated. We would print 30 pamphlets for
halfthe money. But no such "jobs" are thrown
in our way by the heads of Departments under
President Tyler's Administration.
From Kendalrs E1positor
But as to the 81 500, the case was this
About $500 Of it, if we remember right, was for
extra copies of the Globe containing article or
articles indicating Maj Barry's administration of
the Post Office Department against the conclusion of
the Committees of Congress or some of their mem
bers, and about 81 800 for printing pamphlet of
the same tenor. This pamphlet was in the shape of
a Report to both Houses Of Congress but not
being in reply to any call, in fact mere personal
vindicaton, voluntarily rendered. Although some
points, the Reports of the Committees from want of
clear view OF the subjects investigated, did nus
tice to Maj. Barry, we did not think he had law
full right to apply the public funds to pay for the
printing of this vndicaton.

From the Wapne County Record.

We give below the returns from nine townships in
full, and the vote in eleven townships for Congress
These returns though not official, believed to be
correct Ii Is believed that the entire Wing ticket
for Representatives and county officers is elected.
The vote Of this county, at the late election, is
comparatively small. We have no authentic returns
from any other county in the district. We think
there is no doubt Of Smiths election.
Bigger's majority in this county will be from 500
to GOO
The Abolition vote in Wayne county will be about
400.
We will give the full returns from this county and
district in next paper
