Mr. EDITOR: am candidate for the Office
of City Marshal and therefore deem it my duty
to notice some rumorS, calculated 40 injure me,
which have been circulated in this community.
1t is said that, for the purpose of defrauding
lady of this city of contract for lands which
which were to be conveyed to her by her hus-
band, l was was made the grantee of such lands,
and made an effort to get a prior record of
prior deeds to such lands so as to possess title
perior to that of such lady, and render her title
worthless Il need not name parties.) 1t is al
so rumored tina IL had been made tool in the
hands of such husband for furnishing evidence
to facilitate him in the obtanment of divorce.
Both these charges are without any foundation
whatever. That ever became such grantee
of lands is false. That ever did an act leaning
toward such a course, is false, and the charge
that did so, slanderous. ..... ..
A deed was made by Mr.. S. to Mrs. S. of GER
tain lots in consideration of release Of dover by
her in the rest of his lots, and such release was
sought to be accomplished by taking from Mrs S
quit claim to me of all her interest in said lots

Editor Of Tie Iora State Gazette:
After the three days of the French Revolution
Of ls4s, the Republican Party there planted sev-
erai trees Of liberty poles having at their
top the old Phrygian cap, the well known en-
blem of Repnblicanism' AT ihe same time un-

the streets of Paris. The Republican party, till
then called La Montagne (the Mountain,) was,
and has ever since been called the "Red Republi-
CAM The Red Republicans do not like to cell
their children nor to trade in human flesh; they
are therefore no tools to be used as bloodhounds
to negro-catchers, nor to subserve or submit to
the ukases of an arrogant and despotic set OF
heartless shareholders; they like Democracy but
not Demi-eroaey. Conscious Of the uprightness
of their principles, they dislike to use contempt
BILE names, terms, or appellations which always
fall upon the head of those who for want of bet.
ter reasons, have recourse to them. And what
ever be the appellation Of party of men, they
will always side with those whose principles are
founded upon popular freedom and humanity.

INrEREsTING.-Our neighbor of the Gazette
appears to be singularly anxious about the posi-
ton of the Germans in our midst. That paper
and the rest of the unbought and unterriied
supporters of the Pierce Dynasty. have all

of their own crank and file" The Gazette now
seems to be wiggling round, and getting wonder
fully dismayed at the prospect of union among
those who don't think Mr.. Pierce and his Nebras-
ka and Kansas proceedings ''quite the thing

There have been rumors that Gov. Shannon

sign his position as the Executive of Kansas
The following, from the New York Tribune of
the 10th inst, seems to confirm very generally
received opinion. Of course Gov. Baker is a
man after the order of Mr.. Pierce. There can
be little doubt that the President is thoroughly
acquainted with "his man" this time. He ought
to have gone to New Hampshire in the first
instance. No one not bred in the same political
school with Mr.. Pierce could possibly make suit

TRANsposIrIoN OF FIGUREs-THE FIGURE NINE.
We take the following from the Boston
Courier. Itis an arithmetical curiosity, interest
ing for the general reader and important to ac-
countants:
The numeral nine has a certain peculiar prop
erty, knowledge of which will be of import
tance to accountants and cash-keepers. 1t is
this: When an error has arisen from any trans
position of figures, the difference between such
transformed number of figures is uniformly Il
multiple of the numeral nine. For instance,
suppose an error occurs in bringing out trial
balance or cash settlement of the amount in
question, or that the sum short or over can be
divided by nine without any remainder, there is
strong probability that the mistake has been
made by transposing figures at any rate, if such
mistake takes place by reason of transposition,
the snm in question will divide by nine without
remainder. To illustrate this further: If 81 has
been put down 70, the error will be Is, or twice
exactly; if 322 be set down 223, the error
| will be 80, or eleven times 9. and so on between
ans transposed numbers This class OF errors is
very common.

JOHN P. HALE, of New Hampshire, made a
pointed and forcble speech, in the Senate not
long since upon the motion to print the Presi-
dents message. He thus spoke Of the Presi-
dents chances for the succession:
He is just as effectually tout of the ring" as if
he had held his tongue. 1t is unkind Of those
gentlemen who are the peculiar friends of the
President to let him labor under such delusion
any longer. There is no more chance of his
being re nominated, than there is one of our pa
ges receiving that honor. He may be told so,
and he may be aattered into believing it, until
about the time when the National Convention
sits. But l wish to suggest to his particular
friends, whether it is not unkind seeing that the
President can make nothing by it, to let him get
down on his knees and humble himself, aud in
suit his native State, by the insinuations with
which his message is filled, when it can do no
possible good to anybody on earth. The thing
is done; the matter is settled. He has been
used just as much as you want to use him, and he
will be thrown aside. In fact, he is thrown aside
already, though he does not know it.

CHICAGO, BuRLISGroN l. QurScY R. R.-It ap-
pears from the report of the Treasurer of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Com
pany, that the earnings Of the road for the six
months ending December 81, 1855, amounted to
S4I0,543 "a, while the operating expenses for
the same period were Slso,604 33. About two
thirds of the net earnings have been applied to
the payment of the floating debt, and the pur-
chase of locomotives and cars to meet the un-
expected increase of business on the line; the
earnings for the year having exceeded the esti-
mates made last January by sum exceeding one
hundred and thirty thousand dollars.

the ability of the editorial corps will certainly
