SdSSdPOIlS, OepU. ZftD, loOU.
MIR. CHks. w. CLIsBEE.-Dear Sir.
The note you handed me yerterday
over the signature of G. G. Jones, Esq,
contained proposition to "meet him
in every Township in the County for
the purpose of discussing State and
National issues and any other question
or questions of local character" The
writer refers me to you as the person
to whom my communication may be
made in reply to his proposition. /
therefore take the earliest opportunity
to inform Mr.. Jones, through you, that
my business affairs at present are of
such a nature as to prevent me accept
ing his proposal even did consider such
discussion important as a means Of en-
the public. After resi-
dence of twenty -four years in Cass Coz,
all of which time has been spent in ac-
tive intercourse with its citizens, feel
assured that they understand my views
upon all questions of political charae-
ter National or State, which they deem
Of Importance. If there are those who
are ignorant of them / shall be most
happy to give the information they
may desire by a personal interview or
through the columns of a newspaper.
/ am not vain enough to suppose that I
could change the settled political con-
victions of any considerable number Of
my fellow citizens upon my political
question, nor is this all, consider the
voters of Cass County are better able
to determine these questions for them
selves than Mr.. Jones or myself to en-
tighten them.
Truly Yours,
A. KINGsBURY.

Are they COnSlstents
AS many of our readers are aware,
the National Democrat, edited by Geo.
B. Turner. candidate for judge of Pro-
bate, for two or three weeks, has con-
tanned three questions, put to Gilman
G. Jones and the Republican candi-
dates for Representatives in the State
Legislature. Mr.. Jones not wishing to
engage in a newspaper controversy
with the editor of the Democrat, or in
fact, with any other person, but agree
ing fully with the editor " that candi-
dates for the legislature should have
"no private views upon the matters of
"public polioy-upon matters on which
he may be called to act. The peo-
"ple should all know what principles
C he will sustain, if elected" sent the
following challenge to Mr.. Kingsbury,
democratic candidate for Senator, to-
meet him Jones) in each town in the
county, and discuss these and other
questions, upon which the Democrat
man places so much Importance. Now,
no doubt, every one will say that Mr..
Kingsbury readily agreed to this ar
rangement. Indeed this would seem
but a reasonable supposition but Mr..
Kingsbury had no idea of doing any
such thing. Not he. He returns for
answer, which we publish below, that
he "has lived in Cass County "a years,
and if any one wants his views on the
political questions of the day they must
come to him." We rather think Mr..
K. will be glad to ego" to the people
of this county before he "goes" to
Lansing. People Of Cass County what
do You think of the consistency of men
of a party-who, while calling upon
their opponents for their views, claim
ing that it is duty they owe to their
constituents-(in which we fully agree,
yet when called upon for their views,
their principles, will skulk behind
the plea of "long residence - and tell the
people they must come to them. Are
they honestr Ought they be entrusted
with the affairs of tie government.
Will you give your SURFACES to sustain
such glaring inconsistencies.
Herewith we give Mr.. Jones' chal-
lenge and Mr.. Kingsbury's reply
Dowagiac, Sept. 25th, 1860.
Asa KINGsBURY, EsQ.-Dear Sir

ExoNERArED.-A statement has been pub
iished, to the effect that a hotel keeper at
Gold Hill, Washoe, drove a sick man named
Houston from his house, and suffered him to
die in the street The case has been investi-
gated by committee, and they have passed
a resolution exonerating the landlord whose
name is Dorst. They report that the de-
ceased was kindly treated Ly the landlord
that he was sick with Inflammation Of the
lungs; that he got up in the night and dranl,
a great quantity of liquor, which caused a
relapse, and that on the morning of his death
he arose from his bed put on his boots and
was about to betake himself to his cabin. as
he could not control his ungoyernaLle desire
for liquor that the landlord assisted him &c
walk down the hill, but before he arrived h,
was seized with conyulsions which ended il
death.

Coal ScUrrLE BoNNErs REruDnrED.-The
Springfield (Mass) Republican learns that
the milliners have given up the effort to cir
culate the coal scutte bonnets, and that the
manufacturers of New York and Connecticut
have entirely discontinued their manufacture
and are at work on a different style, which
will soon be out The coal scuttle style pro.
duced so much ridicule and disgust that there
has been very little sale for them, and the
milliners find they must get up something
different or sell no spring bonnets at all.
We think the women could have stood the
ridicule, and would have swallowed their
own disgust at the shapeless thing, but the
Idea that they make the wearer look at least
dozen years older settled the question. A
successful rebellion against a Paris fashion
duly promulgated, is one of the events of the
age. Nobody can doubt now that the world
moves

have commenced the work of digging a tun-
mel, to drain their claims J. f. Stratten,
Engineer, has charge Of the task A cores
pondent at Virginia city says; The tunnel
will be about $50 feet in length, and will
drain the mine to depth of 90 feet,-being
los feet lower than the present drainage 1t
is expected that the work will be completed
in about 80 days ond if one may judge by
the progress made in the past three or four
days, there is little room for doubt.
The different companies interested in the
enterprise are the Ophir, Mexican, Central,
Bryant d. Co., California, and Bryant d Ray
mond, each bearing its proportion of the ex-
pense, which will probably not exceed $l2,-
600 in the whole 1t is also the intention to
begin another tunnel which will be 2,lOO
feet long; and which will increase the drain.
uge to 293 feet. This will give them plenty
Of room TO work for several years

projectors Of the tunnel, a collateral effect (i

RrxAwAr Rrenrrs.-The following nrticle

RUNAWAY BueGtEs.-The following article
was written for yesterdays issue, but crowd
ed out. We are determined, however, not
TO miss our chance at an attack upon the
Appeal, and we here insert che overlooked
article
The Appeal, speaking, yesterday, of an
other runaway horse and buggy, says: "We
can see no use of these frequent runawoys,
except to our local items column" The Ap-
peal does not "speak by the card" If the
editor of the Appeal should once fall vic
tim to this runaway epidemic with which
Marysyille horses are at present afflicted, he
might have cause to change his mind. If
such a thing should happen, and he should
escape, for instance, with only broken arm,
does he suppose there would be no pleasure
in knowing that JoM his arms were not bro
ken? And if they acre both broken, does he
not know that it would be an unspeakable
satisfaction that his legs were safe? And if
all his limbs were broken would not his JOY
increase ten fold with the certain assurance
that his neck had not suffered like eaam-
ity? No use to anybody but an editor?
Why, a man never knows how to be thankful
and happy till he is tumbcd out of buggy.
But, of all things, suppose woman to
meet with a slight accident of this kind /;
after she is picked up and her wounds have
been dressed, and dozen sisterly hands
have arranged her pillows and made her
comfortable, docs anybody imagine that she
does not experience joy beyond all that
the minstrel has told p Can the editor Of the
Appeal say, with his hand upon his heart,
that if he were in like situation it would
be no pleasure to him to hear dozen tender
voices, all at once, in tones as sweet as pity
ing angels, murmur "Poor child-it is too
bad ~ And is it no pleasure to watch the
snowy napkins come fluttering in at the door,
like the white wings of good fairies, hiding
from vulgar gaze deiicacies that would have
increased the torments of poor Tuantalus,
had they been placed just beyond his grasp?
What, is it no pleasure to woman to have
a half dozen great ugly doctors coming in
with their good natured jokes telling her
that the only serious injury she has received
is the temporary loss of her beauty, which,
they give her to understand, they think is
equal to that of the sea-foam born Aphro-
dite? And would not Chlnn, of the United
States Saloon, that worthy son of "Merrie
old England" send her bottle yea a half a
dozen bottles Of the very best wine in all the
world? OF course he would-and of course
she would not be perverse and so ungrateful
as to say that the accident to which she was
indebted for SO much of the poetry of life
was of no use to anybody but editors.

Too HoRRIBLE- understand that on
Thursday evening large dog was found on
the basement by the St. Nicholas Hotel ut

were crushed as if from a severe fall. Some
one ended his suferings by knocking him in
the head. We were told that two men stand
ing near the hotel at the time, said they saw
two females bring the dog on the balcony and
throw him over This is too horrible for be-
lief and we hope for humanity's sake that
there is some mistake about it. Whoever did
