COUNTY TREASURER.

Mr.. EDITOR Il am pleased 10 see that
"we the people, who are deeply interested
in the matter are going 10 have choice in
the selection OF County Treasurer, and that
JACOB YOUNG, Of Sudbury, has consented
to become the peoples candidate Mr.
Young is man of family, sober and indus.
trious and has always borne an irreproachable
character. Disease and broken constitu-
tion have of late years borne heavily upon
him, and renders him incapable of perform
ing the labor to which he was accustomed.
Now ] do not pretend TO say anything
against Mr.. Youugman, his opponent, 1t is
enough for me 10 know that MIR. Young is an
older mana man of a family who are de-
pendent upon him for support-lhat he is
fully as competent and that he would give
most general satisfaction. The office of
County Treasurer ought never to be consider
ed political office. 1t is an office created
strictly for the accommodation and use of
the people of the county, and as democrat
| feel that am but performing my duty in
supporting Mr. Young, deserving and
worthy man, instead of Mr.. Youngman, a
young man without family and none to
taae care OF but himself.

been hard drinker, and was laboring under
delirium tremens and on that day went to
neishbor to get him to plough some ground
for him. He stated that he had 10 hasten
home as there were several individuals wait
ing for him who wanted 10 kill him. When
he reached home, he got his razor and in the
presence of his wife endeavored to cut his
throat. She succeeded in getting the razor
from him. He then went into the garden
and got an old scythe with which he Gu,
several gashes across his throat. His wife
wrested the scy,he from him. A. las, he sue.
ceeded in getting an old case knife, with
which, in sight of his wife, he severed the
two large arteries at the neck, and then ad-
vanced toward his wife, but fell down from
loss of blood before he reached her, and in a
shor, time expired!

question which has lately excited much interest and
speculation at Washington Is last decided. Some OF
the wings have boosted that Mr.. McClintock Young
would be appointed the post Of Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury as the successor Of Mr. renrose These
wings boosted Of il as an act Of great magnanimity on
the part Of Mr. Meredith. They said il was feather in
his cap and that il would put down the slang OF the dem
ocrais. that no democrat could get Office. Whilst
few Of the wings were using this language, the great
body Of them in Washington were protesting against Mr.
Young's appointment They declared that il was out
ragous to feed the democrats. whilst the greedy wings
were starving The correspondent OF the New York
Tribune (Alpha) denounced the act in the bitteres terms
He was .reluctanty constrained to believe that Mr..
Meredith strongly inclined towards Mr. Young" but af
rmed that s.it would create disastrous dissatisfaction
both in and out Of the cabinet" The letter assigns
other reasons against Mr.. Young's appointment. and
speaks Of il as .an outrage that will admit Of neither pal
ation nor excuse Confident as the assertion Of many
Of Mr. Msedhs confidential friends. that his predisc-
tons are strongly in favor Of Mr. Young, (says Apha)
never will believe so suicidal an act will be committed BY
him until the evidence leaves further room for
doubt"
The rabd wings have succeeded, and Mr.. Young left
the executive department on the LIST of Novemberthe
day which he had designated for that purpose Hewoud
not consent to remain longer in position below that OF
chief clerk Of the treasury equivalent to the a.eycIea-
