SUIT FOR LIBEL.

We learp that John Hiss has commcn-
ced prosecution against Mr.. HAMPTON,
publisher of the Ottawa Republican, for liz
bel. The suit is based on an article III the
Republican, in which it was asserted that
Mr.. Hise had written letters to soldiers in
the field advising them to desert-among
others to one Fred. Inglehart
This assertion was made before tho No
Yember election, whom Mr.. Hise said he
should then simply stamp i. as false'
bat would not submit to repetition Of it
The repetition having heen made. he had
NO recourse but to give Mr.. Hampton an
opportunity to establish its truth.
The column or two OF abuse Of Mr.. Hise
in the last Republican was wholly without
provocatien, and tho only motive we can
imagine for it is, that the abolition leaders
in the Supervisors, having been cruelty
hectored for two days by Mr. r. on account
Of tho ridiculous position they had placed
themselves in on the bounty question, took
this method to be revengei on him and
as they we'll knew Mr. Hampton was
wholly incompetent to do tho business in
a way sufficiently pungsnt and meadacious
they hired or Induced a dirty, scavenser
who had shows his proficiency in such
business in former efforts, to DO the work
for them. Whether they will now hare
the manliness to help poor Hampton cut
of the sc-ape they have got him into, re-
mains to be seen.

CONGRESS-.

The only important measure adopted by
Congress during the past week was the
bill, which first passed the House, and
passed the Senate on Tuesday, to continue
the high bountIes for enlistments ($4OO for
veterans and $500 for new recruits) until
the LIST of March, and to postpone the
draft until that time.
Mr.. Wilson introduced a resolution last
Friday to expel Senator Davis, OF KY,
for offering a resolution declaring it the
duty of the people lat the pells) to take
the government out Of the hands of our
present rulers Wilson garblsd the reso-
luton and tried to mako it out treason
against Old Abe and his cabinet. The
resolution was laid over until Wednesday
when Davis and Wilson had pretty sharp
debate over it, at the close Of which it
was again postponed.
Mr. Stevens has shown the cloven foot
- Of tic radicals by Introducing bill in the
House declaring the conquered rebel
states" territories, abelishing slavery in
such territories, and declaring that none
shall be re-admitted to the Union as
states except with anti>slavery constitu-
tons.
Henderson, of No, offered resolutions to
amend the constitution SO as TO abolish
slavery drought the country. Laid over.
Lene, of Kansas, offered bill 10 give
Texas west OF the Nuesces TO the negroes
for colonization.
Mr. Arnold introduced his bill in the
House on Monday for q ship canal from
Chicago to the mississippi river.
The income tax bill was reported back
from the committee to the House on
Tuesday-the only material amendment
proposed being q tax of 6Octs. psr gallon
on spirits.
The Senate has passed resolution to
revive the committee on Conduct Of the
War.
The CONSUMPTION bill still drags in the
Senate. The latest ameplnents adopted
retain the $500 clause and Tempt clergy

The County Bounty business.

The Ottawa REPUBLICAN, unable and per-
haPs even indisposed to apologize for or
explain away the ridiculous position into
which the majority Of the Board Of Super
viso-s placed themselves in reference to
the matter of voting bounty for enlist
ments, tries to whistle the business down
the wind by low abuse Of John ni.e and
"Deacon Osman" We imagine the Su-
pervisors viii manifest little gratitude fer
such defence. though in ali honesty we
think 1t is the best that can be eff r
ed. The whole subject, freed from all
party politics and in . nutshell, stand in
this position.
The county was threatened with draft
for some 600 men. Cook county, Mclean
county, and other counties in the State
had offered $50 bounty for enlis.ments.
If cur county made no similar offer, 1t was
evident our recruits, as on former occasions
would again go abroad, and La Sale coun-
ty would be left in the lurch. So ma
jority Of the board agreed to a call Of =
meeting to consider the question. The
Board met and after organizing, at once
adopted resolution to offer bounty Of
$, and appointed committee, consists
ing OF three democrats, one abolitionst,
and one republican TO FIX the sum and ar
range the details. The committee, in
view Of the fact that Cook, Mclean, and
other counties had offered $3.50, saw It was
absurd for La Sale county to offer less,
and filed the blank with that sum. The
opponents of bounty said the money
could not be raised to pay such bounty.
The committee demonstrated that i. could
by obtaining offers for a sufficient loan
Nevertheless the board, after having voted
unanimously to offer bounty, voted down
the proposition reported by the committee;
and then, not to place themselves in too
ridiculous position, as voting to give q
bounty and then refusing to do it, cooked
up the Gilman proposition, which offered
500 tor enlistuents made from tho lst to
the 9Th Of January, the bounty to be paid
on certificate to be obtained from the
vote was passed on the 3Ist December, in
the midst of SO violent a storm that it was
perfectly obvious to every sane man that
not only no information of tho fact could
reach half of the county within the time
specified, but that to obtain certificate
from Springfield was wholly out of the
question.
This is exactly the position in which
the majority of the supervisors placed
themselves Whether bounty should
have been voted at all or not, was a l,giti-
mate question for honest discussion. But
after having commenced with agreeing to
offer bounty, then to spend two days in
contrivins how not to do il, and ending IN
not DONG 1t, shows exactly the absurdi,y
of their action.
