The Republican, in its small way, is trying
to get up prejudice against Mr.. Ford, our
efficient and gentlcmauly county Treasurer,
because he refused to cash about ! ., 600 Of

hands. Its story about all the funds of the
county being locked up at Joliet had its orr

Ing invention enough to get it up alone. A
few spectators about the court house pick

adjourned, orders enough to exhaust all
there was in the treasury, but as the Treas

laborcrs and mechanics more entitled TO the
cash than those who had bought the orders

have used a little faCSse to put the latter oft

Important from Central America .. Col.
Kinney and Capt. Walker.


The California steamer "Star of the West -
which arrived at New York on Monday,
brings some imtems Of considerable int,rcs,
in reference TO the movements of Col. Kin
ney and Capt. Walker in Central America.
1t appears the former dominions of the
brecchlcss King of Mosquito, or the best
part of them, have been organized, under the
auspices of Col. Kinney, into the republic
of San Juan, Greytown being the capitol, and
have gone through the forms of an election
and elected Col Kinney Governor; and til
new Governor being thcrcupon daily nau-
guratcd, made speech, in which he says
he "came not to rob or destroy, but to build
up your city and your fortunes, and by
peaceful emigration, to assist in the deyolop.

procure a speedy relief from "that Repn5.
lic'--mcaning the United Statcs-for the
destruction ef Grcytown. The most natter.
ing picture is drawn Of the country and Of
the prosperity Of the colony.
And while Col. Kinney has thus settled
himself for the present at Greytown, it ap.
pears Capt. Walker, who is by many re-.
gardcd as but partner in this grand Fill.
buster enterprise, is leading the war in the
interior against the government Of Nicaragua,
who regard this whole band of "pcaccabc
colonists," as enemies to the State. lie has
not only taken possession of San Juan,
Realejo and Rivas, but at last accounts, was
marching at tina head Of a considerable force
upon Granada, with the intention of attack
ing the government troops and taking the
capital.
The newspaper, however, established by
Col. Kinney and his band at San Juan del
Norte, or Greytown, aiIirms that Walker is
lcasucd in with the Nicaragua Transit Com
pany, aid proves this by the fact that when
the Government Of Gotta Rica called upon
the agent of that Company for certain arms
to defend itself against the attacks Of Wal or,
the agent refused 10 give them up Col
Kinney, it must be noted, is at swords points
with the Transit Company, and regarding the
Government Of the L. S. as backing that
Company, his hostility extends to Uncle
Sam, of whom he therefore talks SO flip ,

Here, then, is the beginning of pretty
