say-Is TT MANLY2-JIast week after we
nut Il In type we sent the drafted list to the
CHRoNIcIE Office. by the hands Mr.. Elerick,
with the reauest that the Editor would give
due credit to Mr.. Allen of the Cadiz Sem
tinel for the same. Judge our surprise
when we read in that paper an acknowledge
ment to Capt Ready, when the list in the
j. litor's Office was in the hand writing OF
Mr.. Allen. OF course the Editor will ex-
pcct similar favors in the future. Gazette
Of last week.
A word or two Of explanation will put
very different face on the above, and show
that the want of manly, honest action in this
matter is with the editor Of the Gazette.
On Saturday, the l4th, we telegrsphedt to
Capt. Ready to send the drafted list for
Belmont County. We learned in the evening
of that day that the Gazette man was in
possession of such q list. On Tuesday,
three days afterwards, we learned from Capt.
Elerick that the said list was taken and
sent for both papers in this county. That
he had proposed getting man to furnish
the list for the CHRONICLE, and some OBJ
lection was made to havipg so many report
ers In the room, when Mr.. Allen, Of the
Sentinel, said be would furnish both papers
with copy. Capt. Elerick then went to
the Gazette Office and obtained the list, but
a few minutes later, on the arrival OF the
mail, We received copy of the list from
Capt. A. T. Ready Provost Marshal, ac-
compauied by the following note:
OFFICE Pro. MAR. 10TH DIST, ONO,
URIcHsvILLE, o., May IA.
G. L. PooRMAN-Ssr have the honor
herewith to send you Draft List for Belmont
County. From the fact that E>qr. Kelsey
was present here during the drawing and
,oas reporting, AS ne SAID for the Belmont
PAPERS, | was of the impression you had
received list before this however, l an
happy to send you another.
! am, Sir, very respectfully,
N Your obedient servant,
A. T. READY, Pro. Mar.
By j. s. FOREMAN, Deputy.
There can be no doubt that the editor OIL
the Gazette intended to defraud us in this
matter by keeping the list until it should be
tso late to publish it in our issue of thai
week, and because we did not expose hin
at that time, he impudently attempts tt
cover up his meanLess by trying to SHOW
that we acted unmanly. Had we used th
list furnished by Mr.. Allen we would hav
given him the proper credit, for we thinl
he acted fairly in the premises, and intend
ed, as he said at Urichsville, that we shoul
have it, but as We did not use it, becaus
the party to whom he entrusted it acte
dishonesty, we were under no obligation t
do so, and we did feel under obligation t
Capt. Ready for so promptly complyin
with our request to furnish us with copy

ty to conservative principles a token Of onr
esteem for your honesty OF purpose-youy in
tegrity as men. Unbiased by bids in green
backs, disintereSted and pure in motive, you
have stood up Ike men, whilst other commaai-
lies influenced by the love OF gain and the dread
OF usurPed authority, have shamefully and ru-
inously shifted ard changed their point. In
years gone by, when many Of those who are
now our friends, stood with party that had
principles 70 contend Cor, you used to send IN
alarming returns to the -80-93-

ties with which you confronted Us.
4 few years aro you thought the eli r;,;l-
splitter az honest man, and you voted for him
and alarmed the Democrats again by giving q
majority against Us of III. As soon as you
discovered that your old rail-spIitter was = more
expert Union-splitter, you abandoned him and
aTrayed yourselves on the side of the true inter
ests Of your country-placed yourselves IN the

town with s. majority for your old enemy.

Of the day Of your last election, that the spirit

many ages ago Of forgiveness 10 your enemies

mon cause Of bumanity-to thus, as i we-e
throw their mite in 70 save their common coun.

viii always be preserved and cherished, not only
token of admiration for what they have al

abroad and IN our midst The clash Of arms
in this blJody war between brothers, IS heard
even here among these peaceful mountains,
where the southern breeZes bore the roar of the
cannon from the terrible fields of Bull Run,
Winchester, Aniietam and Gettysburg. There
are those here to-day from every part Of the
county, who wear the dark emblens Of sorrow
tor those who fell on other fields: cn the bloody
road 10 Richmond OF in the Mississippi Valley

it may be, that even with the aid OF Gen. Grant,
whose head quarters are now in the field, our
