"A Curiosity.

We have in Cadiz wonderful curiosity. What
do YOU suppooe tits reader? 1t is nothing more
nor less than an editor that goes by the name
of Richard Hatton who denies his own writing,
Ind calls it a forgery. An editor that will do
that Is scertainly great curiosity. And II he
will go along with US to the next editorial con-
vention, we will exhibit him (adhttance free)
to the fraternity, as an editor who writes an ar
ticle for his paper, and then in two weeks time
06nss out and says that the article he wrote
two weeks before is forgery Well, that is
rich. It win puzzle us hereafter, when we see
anything in the Republican that is worth reply
ing to, to tell whether it isgehuine or whether
It is q forgery. Our neighbor places himself in
an awkward predicament before all his iutelli-
gent readers. they will not be able to tell
whether the editorials that appear in his paper
are genuine or whether they are forgery.
We contended week before last in the Ssfttn-
" that the following article which he wrote a
bout Auditor Granell would apply just as well
to John A. Bingham Allen G. Turner, and L.
c. Rowlcs, who were nominated on the same
ticket with John Sloan, and then Y9tsd, for
Sloan's opponent, asst would to Gran0Stirats
"You know, your party friends know the
people know that y6t ahd your special friends
resorted to means to obtain the olice(s) you
now hold unequaled for baseness, in the an
mails Of political warfare N this county--meahs
that would disgrace; even professional +
Office seeker, in the estimation of every honest
man in his party. You proved treachero4S to
the party that pat you in nomination. 1ou
acted the part of traitor towards men
who were running on the same ticket with you
You deceived honest men of the party by
denying the position you occupied. You oe-
ceived men who were running on the same tic!--.
ct with you and were laboring for you, by pre-
tending to be for them, when you We're pledged
to vote against them. You entered into cor
rupt combination to defeat portion OF the
ticket in order to secure yetr own election; and
by your vote(s) and Influence, aided in sacrlfc-
inr men whom YOU were bound to sustain.-
SaGh has been your base deceptive COURSE
Such were the means you rcsorted to to obtain
the ofice(s) you now hold"
We desire our neighbor to come right square
out, and answer the following questions? Was
not John A. Bingham Allen G. Turner, and
q'hos. G. Rowles guilty of the same offence +hat
you charge upon GranfeH in the above extract?
No backing out Richard. Come right up to
the work, and answer this question with the
same boldness that you nominated John Sloan
for Commissioner.
But the reason of friend Hatton's madness
is easily explained. He is fearful that ifhc
speaks out about Bingham, Turner and Rowos
like man, (men who were guiltyof the same
offence that he charges on Granell,) he will
have the displeasure of Bingam's flee, (Lewton;)
and that Turner will think those blalks are
not so we'll printed as they should be; and there
would be a probability of Rowles sending to
Steubenville and getting some more Blanks
printed. This is what troubles our neighbor.-
: Hence his poor cowordly subterfugo OF calling
The above extract from his paper forgery.
