A FalSehOOd.

A FalSehOOd.
The editor Of the Troy Iprestigator has
taken the job Of abusing the citizens of
Marshall county and Of incorporating
them to the exclusion of all other reading
matter in his paper of the 3Oth ult. We
are sorry the gentleman has seen fit to take
this course, as we formed very fla.
vorable opinion Of him while he was at
tending Court at this place. He makes
no direct attack upon our paper, but at
tacks our friends and the citizens and af-
fairs of our county and we are in duty
bound to reply. The Investigator says
that "Col. Bowen packed the Convention
at Marysvilie and procured the election OF
D. c. Aud as Delegate to Topeka"
The assertion is not true and the author
knew it when it was penned. The result
of the Convention would have been the
same had Col. Bowen not been here.
Every opportunity was given for all 10 vote
who wished to do go at the primary meet
ing, and there was no unfair dealing. The
Secretary of the meeting was Mr.. Magill,
the stronges! 'fraudite' 10 the county, and
one of the tellers was another strong
'fraudite.' The names of six men were
placed upon a ticket, as delegates from
Marysville township to the County Con.
vention that was to meet the next day.
These men were known to be opposed to
the Senatorial Swindle. The ticket was
shown to everybody and all were asked to
vote it. In the mean time the editor OF
the Investigator (who, by the way, had
come out here four days before court in
order in order to help carry our County
Convention in the Carney irterest) in a
sly way So! the 'fraudites to work and they
''fixed up" their ticket and cas-. ten square
votes for it, while thlrty-six were cast for
the first mentioned ticket.
Now considering that the Central Com.
mit,ee published through our paper call
for the township and county meetings, and
considering that the people were careful
to select men opposed to the 'fraud" to
represent them in the County Convention,
and considering that the delegates so elec-
ted unanimously cast their votes for D. G.
Auld, Esq, a staunch "ant- fraud" man,
as delegate to The State Convention, and
considering the fact that the editor of the
Investigator attended both meetings and
knows that himself and his political friends
were we'll treated, and received marked
consideration at the hands of an inteIIi.
gent majority, and last, though not least,
considering that it is none of your indi-
vidual business whether Marshall county
repudiates or endorses the perpetrators Of
the Senatorial swindle. it Is strange that
you should return home and fling sheet
tul of abuse of the citizens of Marshall
county to the public, because they can't
see it" as you see it. Your abuse will
harm no one but yourself.

The Swindlers Howl.

The result of the late State Convention
through which the people have effectually
and emphatica1ly denounced and repudl-
ated last winters "usurpation" wrings
from the '63' mournful and piteous howl
as they sink to oblivion beneath the huge
wage of popular indignation. Though
dead, they still claim the privilege of
sinking. They think that Kansas soil,
though six feet deep, cannot cover them
out of smell. This may be so, for in this
particular they are strong. The journals
that have so strenuousy defended and up
held the Senatorial Swindle are at present
filed with excuses and apologies for the
same, or square denials Of having ever
endorsed it, or fair and open acknowl-
edgmen,s that it was wrong and an out
rage upon the people. In the same pa.
pers we see q howl set up against toe
State Convention and a general TRADE
against the people for having sent dele
gates to Topeka who were avowedly oppos.
ed TO the Swindlers. They call the Conven.
tion ''fraud" because Mcdowell, Legate,
Vaughn, Jennison, aud their followers
who were there could not control things
and were hugely in the minority
having only ten votes against over sixty,
Yet so generous were the majority that
they gave the Insignificant minority rep
resentation on every committee. 1t is
not necessary to expose oil the mean ness
and make-shifts resorted to by the noto-
rious '6S' to induce the people TO continue
to repudiate them. Kansas knows them
and knows them only TO despise. A per-
son would scarcely know that any Of the
original fraudites were in the country ex-
eept by the involuntary clasping of noses
whenever one appears in the community

Watching and Waiting.

The people Of these United States are
impatien,ly watching and waiting for the
bloody fash and terrible thunder that shall
soon burst from the war-cloud that is now
gathering on the Rapidan in the hills of
old Virginia. We all feel the ominous
silence that always precedes the awful
storm, with now and then distant peal of
thunder. The goddess of Liberty to-day
breathlessly awaits the mortal struggle
that shall decide her future on the Ameri.
can continent.
The strength of the Onion army is now
being concentrated for death grapple with
the hosts of rebeldom. If our leader,
Grant, succeeds 10 crushing his antagonist,
then all is we'll but, if by some misfor-
tune the rebels inAic. a mortal blow or
overwhelming defeat upon our arms,
France through Mexico will acknowledge
the Southern Confederaey, and England
follow suit, the "peace" men will elect their
President this fall and our. nation is ruined.

When We consider that the editor Of

us and all others who denounced their &C.

in every issue of his paper since its perpe-

paper to see where the joke comes in-so
far as the author is concerned-in the
above paragraph.

thirsty william tina. fights for the traitors
despotisms A correspondent writing
from Ft. Smith, to the Conservative, under
date of April 18th, says:
On the 9th Colonel Judson sent Lieut..
McKibbern and twenty-six men of the
Sixth, as an escort with DR.. FairchiId. At
RoseviIle number of wounded, rebel and
Federal. needed attention. Ten wounded
Texans were in our hands, and ten of our
own. When at Charleston. twenty-five
miles southeast, they learned that 100 reb.
els had camped there the previous night
Six miles further they found a camp just
abandon.d. Three miles further on they
were fred upon by fifty men from ravine
at the same time large force appeared in
front aud both sides of the road. The
Lieutenant commanding ordered charge
for the purpose OF breaking throug h which
be succeeded in doing. and reached Rose
vile with fifteen men. 1t was found that
the Doctor and eleven men were missing.
On return to the scene of the attack,
next morning, The bodies of nine men were
found in the road, we're they fell or were
shot down. The evidence was plenty, of
severe struggling. The bodies were strip
ped Of every particle of clothing, and hor'
ribly mutilated. Three of them were cas-.
traled, and others had their ears cut off.
One man lay without wound on the body
but his head and face so beaten with the
butts of guns as to BE- reduced to pulp.
The features could not be distinguished.
The other two men, and the Doctors body
were found near the road in the timber.
The Doctor was the only one who was not
outraged. He was shot through the head
and shoulders, after being taken prisoner.
A woman living near the scene of conflict
states that Fairchild told his captors the
errand he was on, and asked for his life.
The others begged TO be treated as pris-
oners Of war. The reply was brutal oaths,
6endish execrations, and horrible assas-
sinations. 1t hardly seems possible that
such fiends are human.

There is certain itinerant lawyer who
travels round with the Court id the I'd Ju.

himself into case on FIVE dollar fee, he
writes doggerel for the Troy Inuestigator.
The last number of that paper contains a
sIanderous article written by this itinerant
gentleman, on some of the citizens of Ma
rJsville. This same itinerant lawyer is a
sweet specimen of humanity to talk about
bogus Legislatures, pro-slavery men, and
disloyalty, when but few years ago he
was made to run round the corners and
alleys of Topeka by young Williams for
having uttered disloyal sentiments in the
Capital Of our State, and subsequently
started for Missouri, because Kansas was
too hot for him. but finally "fetched up
at Troy, little ,own so near Missouri
that he might fly there for refuge in case
it became necessary.

abundant reward and above all, that he will
bless US by the presence of His Holy spirit,
quickening our faith, strengthning cur hopes

conception OF His holiness. and Of our de-
pendence upon Him.
Let us deplore before Him our sins as a
nation, and beseech Him to grant US His
favor, that he will give wisdom to all in au-
thority, that He will grant success to our
army and navy, and crown the year with an
enduring peace
Let u, seek His blessing upon the brave

Thus may our Fast be even such as the

spring forth speedily that our righteousness
may 90 before us, and that tho glory Of the
Lord may be our rere-ward.'
