WASHINGTON is Safe,

Heaven be praised Washington is safe!
The nine hundred half naked guerrillas who
| besieged it have departed as quietly as they
came, driving before them the cattle they
so badly needed and carrying along the
plundcr they captured SO easily. There
will be no pursuit worth mentioning The
chicken hearted authorities at Washington
would not consent to the departure of the
troops in pursuit untl the invaders were
well on their way across the Potomac.
Washington is safe! After three years of
relentless war, during which two millions
of white men have been placed in the army
after the Constitution has been buried
after the liberties of the people have been
subvcrted under the plea Of neccssity-after
the nation has been dishonored by reign
of imbecies, and the people impoverished
by the industry of thieves-after three
years OF such results, we have the crafty
ing announcement that-Washington is
safe!
Washington is safe? Our jolly old mon
arch, Abe Lincoln, will ride down the ave-
nue.. surrounded by his guard, and negro
IN the seat with him, without fear of rag
ged rebels or half naked guerrilas. He
will tell his unclean .jokes-the jokes which
are so popular in the houses Of ill-fame in

smile with Seward-if Seward is sober
enough to 'smile'-ho will probably dance

House yard-he will be extremely hilar-
iious, and well lie may be, for-Washington
is safe
The sea of blood which has been shed by
the army; the ocean of sweat which must
yet flow from the people to pay the debt !;
the sorrow, the misery, the desolation and
the woe Of the last three bloody years, have
not been in vain; they have not been with
out fruit tor-Washington is safe, and the
King is jolly again Ohio Statesman.

CoRREcT THE ROLLS. Ls.-By a notice in to-
days paper it will be seen that the Board
of Enrolment will set in this place on the
Goth, 9th and 2Sth of this month. We
would urge upon all who should have their
names stricken from the rolls to attend to
having it done. The quota for the several
townships is assessed on the enrolment,
and the more names stricken off the less the
quota will be. In some townships men of
from 90 to 70 years of age are enrolled, 9TH
ers are enrolled who left the county years
ago, and still others who are dead. Then,
again, many now in the service are enrolled.
Let committees attend from each township
to examine the rolls and have them correc-
ted, BY attending to this matter every
township can save several men from being
drafted

POINTED CORRESPONDENCE. The fol-
lowing correspondence which recently pass
ed between our efficient county Auditor and
the editor Of the Republican explains itself:
=. July 5, 1864.
Mr.. JOHN WEITMAN--
Sir: My attention
has been called to the seventh section of the
militia law, aud the question asked, if it did
not require certain portions Of said law to
be published in the county papers? As all
are interested in that law, | believe it was
the design to have it published in papers of
both parties
VIII you favor me with your opinion?
Yours,
g. Z. GRIFFITH.

HINT. - When church members stay
away from classmeeting or refuse to go to
the front on communion day it is a sure sign
they are tired of their faith And when a
people fail to respond to calls for volunteers
to fill the army it is good sign that they
are tired of war.

FUNNY.-It is funny to hear abolitionists
talking about the government. We have
had no government since Lincoln became
President. He has disregarded the Con
stitution, trampled upon the laws and sub
jected the people to the tyranny of mill
tary despotism controlled by knaves and
imbeciles.

THE CoNcLUsIoN- Some say they are
for Lincoln but arc not abolitionists When
people hear man talk so they know he is
fool or liar. The liar, thief and muir
derer might say he was a christian, but who
would believe it?

July 5, 1864.
Mr.. G.. T. GRIFFITH

Sir: Yours of
this date is received, contents noted. &C.
There is no provision made in the militia
law for the publication of it or any part
thereof. The section to which you refer re-
quires me to have notice published, which
provision ] think fully complied with when
that notice is published in the paper having
the largest circulation in the county.
Many of the notices given by county Off
GERS might, at their discretion, be published
in both papers. When Mr.. Caskey had
charge Of the Republican, the paper assist
ed in giving the county good name, and
catered for the interest of the people gener-
ally. This induced the county officers to
give him all the fivors they had a right to
bestow, and accordingly nearly all the noti-
ccs that could be were published in both
papers. But since you have had charge of
the RepuJt'can it has been persstently aim
ing to bring the county into disreputc and
laboring to the prejudice of the interest and
reputation of our citizens. am compelled
to give the publication of no notices to both
papers, and since the disreputable manner
in which you have demeaned yourself enti-
ties you to no favors at my hands you need
ask for none

produced the desired result. IF that treat
ment was generally practiced in this town
