Shinplaster Change.

Red checks, white checks, blue checks,
yellow checks, green checks, brewery
checks, express and telegraph checks,
checks for dry goods, millinery, grocery,
saloon checks; checks Of all descriptions
in every State and in almost every town
have been issued for change. When sill
YER was worth 25 to 80 per cent premi-
um, and consequently entirely Withdrawn
from the ordinary channels of trade, and
when post office stamps and nothing else
could be had for change, il seemed a mil
itary necessity, for time, to manufac-
ture some sort Of change. Tho Govern
ment is issuing from $4,000 to $780,
600 Of postal currency daily, so that the
wants of trade will soon be supplied from
this source, and this currency will be par
in every nook and corner of the land
Not so with the ten thousand and one
shinplastcr checks, not one in hundred
of which are worth anything out of sight
Of the place they were issued, and some
Of them entirely worthless where they
are issued. A few days since some one
wrote us from Niles, Mich, asking how
we could convert Niles shinplasters into
current money! Yesterday a gentleman
offered 10 pay us twenty-five cent Pom
tiac bill! Another called upon us with
fifty cent shinplaster from central New
York TO convert Persons must bear in
mind that they cannot buy meal of Wet
uals with pocket full of this trash out
Of sight Of home. Bankers, merchants,
and all business men should refuse this
trash and discourage its further use.-

CoRREoTIoN.-It was stated in the
NeVS of last week that several persons in
Spring Lake voted through mistake for
Manly D. Howard, instead of Perley
Lawton, as was intended, for Representa-
tive in district number two, whereby Mr..
Luther received his election. On exam
ination of the tabular statement Of the
Board Of County Canvassers, which we
print this week, we find no mention
made of such votes. We conclude,
therefore, the report of such votes being
given mistake, though generally credit
ed. We most cheerfully make the cor
rection, in justice to Mr.. Luther. He is
fairly and honestly elected Representative
to the Legislature, in district number two,
and we believe he will represent his con-
slituency and prove a hard working, eff
cient member.

The Difference.


The Clarion of last week seemed fill
ed to overhowing with a righteous indig-
nation, because, forsooth, few ballots had
been issued from the Union Office, of this
village, without the knowledge Of its pro-
prietor, bearing the name Of Thomas B.
Church for Congress, in place of F. W.
Kellogg, otherwise republican throug bout.
Its horror at such political sacrilege was
immense, when, but few days previous,
document bearing the following Ian
guage was issued from that office and
posted away off in Oceana County-no
one appearing in this section at all-for
the sole purpose of defeating the Union
candidate for Senator, in the 30th Sena.
torial District, George Parks, Esq. But
here's the language verbatim, ct hteratin':
"Could you rejoice to hear that the
'Star-Spangled Banner was at half-mast,
or trailing in the dust, then vote with
those who, in Grand Haven, raised the
old flag from the Democrat pole hdlf
mast, Union down, vote with them for
the man who says he 'WIL BE DAMN
ED If HE WILL FIGHT IN THIS
ABOLITION WAR; who HOPES
so LONG AS THE GOVERNMENT
KEEPS ANY FORCES IN THE
FIELD FOR COERCION, THEY
WILL BE WHIPPED EVERY GOD
DAMNED TIME and who said, IF
THE REPUBLICANS attempt TO in
dugurdte abraham Lincoln, I wiU be
one who 0W fire on them IN the rear.
"The above quoted language is the
language Of the would-be Senator for this
District, and every vote cast for George
Parks, who uttered it, is an approval Of
his disloyal sentiments. MORDAX."
Mr.. Parks declares cmphatically that
be never made use of any such or similar
language at any time, or on any occasion
Therefore it must be the emanation of
some addlc-headed nincompoop, who as
sayed to initiate Parson Brownlow in his
epthets, drawn from the Internal regions,
but had not the brains to do it, and then
published at the office of the Clarion.
The identical villain and vagabond, its
author, is known and in due time will re-
ceivc his reward Let him beware!
But that effort, and the one of last
week, in abusing the first citizens of our
village and the county, did the job for
the Clarion. The charge was too great
for the calibre of the gun, and adjusted
the 'tarnal thing up" We are informed
that The Clarion has given its last shrek.
Its feeble, harsh and disgusting notes will
be heard no more. 1t dies as the infa-
nous dies-unwept, unhonored. Peace
to its contemplate ashes!
