a so.callcd secret Mail Agent named Penn,
visited tins place few days ago to examine into
the matter of the removal of ]. l.. RoBNsoN-
There was not much secrecy about his visit, for
he was not in town thirty minutes till nearly every
person knew his business. He was taken posses
sion of and carefully guarded by two or three OF
Mr. RoDlNsoNs enemies. We believe his inyes.
legations were confined to what he did with them.
The matter needs no investigation in this ccm-
manity because the charges said to have been
preferred against Mr.. RomNsoN are bascly and
notoriously untrue, Negatives are generally hard
TO prove, but in this case the reported charges
against Mr. r. could be disproved by a hundred OF
our best citizens. 1t is none of our quarrel, nor
do we care how much the Black Republicans
quarrel about Tie Offices but we like to see so
gentlcmanly and efficient an officer as was Mr..
ROBINSON get justice.

of DR.. Ayers Compound Extract Of Sarsapnrila
and to the value Of all his remedies as articles OF
great public utility. Such evidence from high

posed than we are to the promulgation Of quack-

that his remedies were above any suspicion Of de-

they have the confidence of all communities where
