a CAarye.-A writer in the Vernon Springs
Gazette charges Judge Williams with being "an
in6del,' and with having disturbed religious
meeting in Clayton County some time since.
This writer says Williams conduct in meeting
became so insuffsrable that the minister had to
lead him out Of the house. For proof of this,
reference is made to Rev. Mr.. Prcdmore, D..
Griffith and others, at Garnavillo, Clayton Co.
We do not believe it is anybody's business
whether Judge Williams is an ''infdel'' or q
believer in one or all Of the various creeds of

Bolters-Belfoy's article on 'sbolters" is
generally copied by the Republican Press Of
North Iowa. The penning of the article, is

boiling disease exhibits itself in other places.
Well. after all this is not strange thing when
the antecodents of our friend Williams are
remembered.
1t is told us by men who have no motive to
deceive that three or four years ago the Judge
was beaten in Convention by Judge PnlcE and
that Mr.. Comstock was nominated for Recor-
der and Treasurer. The Judge whose friends
now complain of boilers, lent his influence and
his vote to the election of the Democratic nomi-
