siduous in the discharge Of their du.
ties, and with such a working set OF
men to conduct its affairs it could
not fail of success.
The officers of the day, viz : Capt
John Heath, the general Superintcnd
ent James Jackson and others who
assisted him; the Marshals, D. NJ
Ferguson, Esq, and i. G. Burroughs
Esq, as we'll as their assistants, all
did their duty nobly and faithfully
The Light Guard of St. Charles City
uniformed and mounted on horses
made a splendid appearance and caliec
forth many words of praise from tho
spectators.
Sheriff Blunt had taken the prccau
ton to appoint special police to pre-
serve order, and it is gratifying To
have it to say that no accident and no
disorderly conduct occurred to mar
the pleasures of the day.
The awarding committees arc entl-
tied to especial commentator. We
have never before known such com
nittees to engage in their duties with
such alacrity and fidelity as they did
on this occasion, nor have We known
an instance where there was so little
complaining and faultiinding after the
awards were made. The committees
books of award were all returned
promptly to the secretary at the time
appointed, which fact alone shows the
industry of the committees.
Take it all in all, this First Annual
Fair of the Floyd County Agricultu-
raj Society was a great success. The
expectations of every body were
greatly, happily, disappointed. The
The exhibition of household and fancy
articles would have done credit to any
County of the Eastern States. The
oil paintings by Miss Fannie c. Tuck
err of St. Charles City, called forth the
highest encomiums from the lips of
all who saw them. The Misses Che
ney, Mrs. McNabb, Mrs. Singer, and
Mrs. Huntley, of this place also cx-
hibitcd paintings and drawings of
high merit
The specimens of nccdlc-work and
embroidery were very numerous, and
taken in connection with the paintings
and drawings, conclusively proved
that the ladies of Floyd county pos
sess taste aud refinement which may
we'll be cmulatcd by their sisters in
any country.
In the department Of vegetables
and fruit everybody was astonished
Such mammoth squashes, pumpkins
bcets, turnips, potatoes, &c, as were
exhibited here, no one had ever before
dreamed Of. Nothing in the recent
United States Fair at Chicago could
equal many of these productions o
Floyd County.
But we cannot particularizc furthc
at this time. Suffice it to say tina
all, whether citizens or strangers, CT
tertained a far higher estimation o
the character and capacities of on
county after this exhibition than the,
ever had done before.

MANY REPUBLICANS
A Democratic Trick Exposed.
- CHAMPION - RETITEp.

The Democracy must be driven to
desperation whcn they will leave
thrir platform and st"op to Witty the
personal character Of the Republican
candidates, rather than let them go
before the people upon the merits Of
the principles they advocate. y Sc
crct circular is now in the hands of the
Democracy headed "Thc Peoples
Champion" rchcarsng the Indictment
found against j. H. PuwcLs at the last
term Of the District Court lcld in
ChickaSaw county, and signed 'Many
RrpuNIicanS' This Indictment was
the result Of strong LEGAL and personal
feeling, stimulated by Democratic EgHr-
crs. Two Of the prosecuting witnesses
have been acquainted with Mr.. Pow
crs for nine years, and at the election
at which he is alIcdgcd to have voted
Illegally, they supported him in all
the preliminary conventions, and
urged his claims for Recorder aud
Treasurer, aud that too, Knowing the
facts connected with his removal To-
Iowa, as Mr.. Powers came to their
house, and made it his home until lie
went into business.
We have a statement Of another
and the remaining one who was IL
member of the election board. and
was only called to prove that Mr..
Powers voted at the time alIcdgcd in
the indictment. The matter has re-
NAMED undisturbcd for two years,
and no one questioned the legality Of
his voting until he became the Re
publican candidate for Senator when
by the aid Of the Democracy, and the
local and personal feeling that is al
ways found connected with county
seat contest, secured his indictment,
copies Of which are now being circu.
lated by MosFs CoNGER, his opponent,
thus making the contest ono Of a per-
sonal character. But attention is
invited to the following testimonials
of reliable men well acquainted with
Mr.. Powers, and the whole matter con-
nected with the procuring Of the in

Editor OF the McbrcEOr Hines
SIR :--Obscrving in your last issue
of the Times Il communication from
A. G. Case, Of Bradford, in reference
to j. II. Powers, we the unlcrsignt d ,
deem it but Justice to Mr.. Powers, to
state the facts SO far as they came I'M
der our observation in reference to his
allcdged illegal voting.
And first we would say that we the
undersigned were Township Trustees
and members Of the election board in
New Hampton Township where Mr..
Powers is accused Of illegal voting,
and that at the time Of his Offering TO
vote, one +. L. Runion objected to his
voting on account Of his being un.
qualified when Mr. Powers remarked
that "if he was not a voter he did
not want to vote, but # he was he
did Mr.. Powers then related the
circumstances of his residence in Ohio,
and his removal to Iowa, which was
reiterated by "A member Of the board,
and on hearing Of which, Mr.. Runion
withdrew his objection, and we, be-
licving him to be Il legal voter per
mittcd him to vote. We would fur
Their say that at the time of his voting
as above stated, that there was
strong local contest in the county in
which Mr.. Powers was opposed to lis,
and we, as individuals opposed to his
voting, but believing then, as we do
nDw, that he was voter, we dare not
exclude him from voting.
Very Respectfully Yours,

woman service. We have said, and we repeat
without fear of contradiction, that the statute
hook of MARYLAND shows not one solitary word
bringing the possession of all these powers by the
Sheriff of Baltimore into moments question.
Nor is there an enactment which relieves him from
the obligation of the responsible duties with which
his powers are coupled. He has the right to pre-
serve the peace and he is bound to preserve it as
we'll If there is cause to anticipate riot public
vention. If they occur, he is responsible for
their suppression. He has no right to rely upon
the MAYOR to do what he is himself bound to do,
and is clothed with higher powers than the MAYOR
to perform Upon him, then, is the paramount
and principal obligation of keeping inviolate that
public security and tranquility, 'for the purpose
''of aiding in the preservation of which the mu-
nicipal police and its extraordinary head have re-
ceived their only legislative commission. The
Constitution itself puts its trust mainly in
him in great exigences, when, in the ar
tcle and section which we have quoted
above, it confines the legislation of the MAYOR
and City Council to ''the creation and gov
"ernment of such temporary additional police as
"they may deem necessary to preserve the public
peace"
We commend, most respectfully, to the Central
Reform Committee, the consideration Of these
facts--which must relieve them and the great body
of the respectable and insulted people whom they
represent, from pursuing any further the futile
chase after Mr.. SwANN's departed sense of official
obligation and integrity.
We believe, from his conduct thus far in his Of
fee that the present incumbent of the Sheriffalty
is neither afraid of his duty nor above it-but
were he unworthy of his trust as we believe
him to be worthy of it, it would be impossible for
him to overlay his official action by any embarrass-
ments whatever, approaching the mass of vanity,
arrogance, folly, ineficiency and bad faith, into
which the Getty Executive has become solidiied
