In the case at a man toho proues to BE- a
deserter frOns the Military serrice, or
man already IN that seroice.
OPIN1os.-A man who is under obliga.
ton to perform military duty on his own
account, cannot certainly be received as a
substitute for another. To be acceptable
in the sense OF the law, he must possess
sll the legal. qualifications for the service,
but an enlisted man has disqualified and
absolutely disabled himself from perform
ing the duties of substitute By engage.
ments with the Government. IT the Board
of Enrolment has been imposed upon, and
has granted certifi cate Of exemption be-
cause Of esubstitute furnished who proves
to be deserter, or one already in the SER
vice, the Bosrd should, sitter notice to the
party, proceed to reconsider its action, and
should set aside its former judgment, annul
the certificate Of exemption granted. It's
right to do SO on . proper showing is unde-
niable, the act of Diet. rmining upon cthc
acccptablity of the substitute being judicial
in all its. character, and subject to revision
and reversal. The certificate Of exemption
having been thus vacated, the party's Gri-
ginal liability under the draft remains.

II will be seen by tho above that the
substitute you employ is only acting as
your agent and that you are responsible
for his past behavior. The way to avoid
this very unpleasant requirement Of guar
rantee is to 60 yourself or pay over $500
and let the Government find the men.

County Politics.

County Politics. @ Z. a...r g...-. 81 s. =
The "Union" men Of McGregor met on
Thursday evening last and after a stormy
session, they selected delegates favoring
Capt. LELL,NGwELL over w. I. GILcnRIsr
as the McGregor Representative in the
State Legislature. The Gilchrist men
charged "unfairness" in the caucus and all
hands went to the County Convention on
Saturday at Elkader. Our space is too
limited for report of the proceedings as
found in the News, of yesterday. w. S.
Scott, Chairman, G. w. Tenney, Secretary.
Four townships were unrepresented. Reu-
ben Noble was invited to represent Giard
and he accepted. Rogers for Judge, Nick
laus for Treasurer, CARRIER for Sheriff, Nc.
Cleland for Surveyor, Kramer for School
Supt., Brunson for Coroner, and Hunt for
Senator, were unanimously nominated
the ticket is in our columns. For Repre-
sentative, Gilchrist got 81 votes, White 52a,
Chase 274, Olmstead z and Lefingwell Is.
On Capt. Leffingwell's motion Gil;hrlst and
White were declared the nominees. From
the Resolution Committee Mr.. Drummond
presented the following which was unani-
ly adopted: 1
Resolced, That James W. Grimes is the
unanimous choice of the convention for the
Office Of United States Senator.
Eiboeck and Doc Hamilton got "a votes
each for School Supt. Mr.. Wakeman got
votes. j. L. Tremaine, was candidate
for Sheriff, but his name was withdrawn.
The ticket does not go up in the Nesos
of this week-aa oversight, probably. The
we'll pleased editor of the Neus, COM
mends the candidates highly, and we have
no dispute to make of it. Mr.. Hunt is a
tried friend of ours, personally. Mr.. Gill
christ is dignified gentleman-late a
Democrat, but after passing through a
"Union" convention, he is pronounced to
be SOUND REPUBLICAN an easy mode
certainly of becoming Republican! Mr..
White is an original Republican, as good
man as his partner, Mr.. Drake Of Volga,
he is good enough for anybody. We do
not exactly see what Mr.. Gilchrist's
abundant resources" have to Go with his
qualifications, but the point may be visible
to others. His politics, in our estimation,
will not be far from conservative, and the
resolution under which he accepts makes
him anti Kirkwood for the U. S. Senate !:
not very bad, after all.

Gen. Tuttle.. the irreproachable officer and

encouraged solely with the view to miti.
gate the difficulties Of the approaching con-
scription With the present feeling of the British
public, which recently found expression in Par
lament. II twould be highly dangerous for the
Washington Government to place matters in
such position as might render a continued ex-
