THE CLASSICAL SCHOLAR.

The Union is ont with last card Tor
Jim Beardsley and among other things,
claims that .he has received thorough clss-
steal education :" This Is enough to make
horse laugh, and Jim may well ask to be
saved from such friends. Jim Beardsley "a
thorough classical scholar" So is John
Wilson just much.
We notice that, in the healing TO this
s.las, card" it is claimed that Jim ''has been
in over twenty battles :" but on careful
reading of the ''plsce'' we do not hnd that ne
was in only one-Ringold Gap. The account
states that he served under this and that and
tother officer, and that his regiment was in
this and that and ,other place, fight, &c, but
it fails TO tell US of any battle he was IN, ex.
espt Ringold Gap.
The piece also repeats the falsehOod that
he went TO the wa as a sergeant. He was
first mustered into the service of the United
States as first lieutenant, and he aerer drep
less than first lieateaant's pay sch,le az the
serrice.
We do not see how any man who desires
10 reward real merit, real hard service in the
cause OF the MON, oan fail TO vote for Bur.
ton H. Cook. the brave boy who took soldiers
fare and soldiers pay, and, facing every dan
ger, came home with wound which will
never heal except to deprive him of life. II
any man with human heart in mis- bosom
can vote against Burt Cook, we cannot see
how he can reconcile the act with his duty &c
the men VINO carried the muske, and Won
our victories.

certsiued by the FIRST board of supervisors
ever convened in this county, that the county
owed . large debt to a man named Wells,
(not now q resident of our county, but SO
loosely were our county clerks books kept
that no record of this Indebtedness could be
found This Wells held a county note for a
large sum, at 10 per cent. interest, with q
private understanding that he was to have
Is per cent. interest. Ez Beardsley was
then collector of taxes, under the old precinct
organiza alton system, and he was ordered, by
the board OF supervisors, then just organized,
to collect money and pay this note. He did
collect money, but he never paid one dollar
on the note, nor one dollar into the county
treasury, for the reason that Jim Beardsley
and others purchased county orders, at
large discount, for him, and he paid every
dollar OF the county tax In county orders !
Now, the question is, what did he do with
the money the people paid him for taxes p
Why, 1t is plain enough, in my opinion, that
Jim used 1t TO buy county orders contrary TO
law. Are the people of this county willing
to continue this Beardsley Comet family in
office always and pay extra taxes every year
TO enable these men TO grow rich out OF ths
hard earnings of the tax payers?
j. NJ. Beardsey has been In the county
clerks office for years, and is said 10 have
been his father-in-law's deputy. If this is
the case it is very evident that there is a lack,
| somewhere, of the necessary ability or inclin
alton to keep the county books properly
The county affairs, under their management,
are always in u muddle, and they cannot or
do not keep a correct and proper setot books
10 show how we stand This debt to Wells
| is an evidence of 1t. Other debts have also
come TO light, of which they had no record.
Papers are also lest or distracted from the
Office. 1t is well known that the old county
| judges, Gould, Kistler and Holmes) reduced
| the rates of terriage at the Rock lsland ferry.
The ferry company appealed the case. and
been lost or destroyed. aud no case could be
made out The consequence was that the
! people had to pay the old high rates.
| These are only few of the instances OF
speeulations and evidences Of incompetency,
| or something worse, which have occurred,
but they are all have time TO sllude to now.
1 If j. VI. Beardsley was privy to these trans
actions, a. did not know how 90 keep TIE

he should be wholly ignorant of them. a. he

ASK HIM

Ba sure and ask your neighbor, before he
votes, if he wont put Burton II. Cooks name
on his ticket for county clerk.
Cooks opponent is J. NJ. Beardsley. man
of very poor abilities. who has held office
about the court house, from a little boy !:
who went 10 the war as q first lieutenant t,
with big pay all the time; who has good
sound health who is wealthy and has n
rich father-in-law besides.
Cook is very competent, well educated
young man, who went to the war for soldiers
fare and soldiers pay was shot through the
lungs at the battle of Liberty Gap, and is
disabled from hard work for life He is
poor and has q widowed mother dependant
upon him. Every consideration of patritism
and humanity calls for his election. Ask
your republican neighbors if they won't
give him lift by putting his name on their
tickets.

A great many of the republicans are be-
coming very 'disloyal," by opposing the pol
icy of the president. According to their own
practice aud theory, they ought to be arrest
ed and thrown into prison and made 20 die of
lice and want of food. "DisloyaP' men, who
oppose the president and won't supper. "the
government" have no rights that any body is
bound to respect. They ought not to be al
lowed to enjoy the blessings of n governments
that they oppose they ought to be knocked
down aud kicked by every decent man who
meets them and the soldiers ought to clean
them out. mob them, seize their property and
abuse them wherever they are found, Such
treason must be squelched out such butter
nuts, copperteadS, traitors, and sympathisers
with the enemies of"the governmeut" deserve
to be hanged. Have our readers heard
such language as this, before? How long is 1t
since SUCH epithets were in the mouths of al.
n1ost every republican In the country? Lave
people forgotten that such epithets We're the
common and every day language of the re-
