Circumstances sometimes compel one to
hold controversy with those with whom,
under ordinary circumstances, 1t would be
humilIating TO come i'll contact. Such is
our position with the editor of the Rcpubli-
can. Were it not for the questions involv
cd in the controversy, we could not be in
duccd to recognize. him in amy particular. -
lie has shown that he is clearly incompe-
tent to discuss question either I'M ellgcnt
ly or eentlemanly; and Ike all other low
bred characters, when whipped upon the
argument, runs Oft into TRADE OF billings

six hundred dollars of the peoples money,
and says that because ho has paid it back,
that therefore he has exculpated himself
from any wrong in the matter, and impu-
IDENTITY says that mo one is wronged out OF
one cent, that it was a 'Jorget' on his
part
Suppose this matter had never, been
pointed out by others, does any one believe
the "Model," ,Uuh his bad memory, would
have ever paid over, and if it had not been
paid, then, we ask, who would have been

the County? Would Mr.. Armstrong;
Say, you honest, faithful, model" officer
But let us see about the memory of this
man. This $2Ol 90 he received in October,
1865, from Mr.. Armstrong on the 5th day
of the next February, the time he made out
that report that Mr. Booker didn't sign, he
rccollected that he had it, Notwithstanding
| he had no Treasury receipt for it, aud en-
tered it as Reported" and "Apportioned,
upon the Auditor book, but unfortunately
tor him just then. his memory did not serve
him, and he FORGOT to pay il. over.
What wonderful bad memory he has.
In March, 1856, he.drew $500 90 out OF
tho County Treasury in advance Of his fees
the ensuing year, and during the year he
drew 81 800 90 more-$l ,260 90 Of which
was upon orders drawn by himself in viola
ton Of law, a part of which he FORGOT
to place upon the order book. And alter
the close of the year he presented an ac-
count s,0orn to, claimingla balance due him
of $500 27--making altogether for one year
the nice sum of 81, 669 27. 1t seems, how
ever, the Commissioners shaved his balance
account some $23 %, and issued an order
for 1886 27 in his favor. In the course ol
time it was discovered that he had 1851 Il
too much, and after fguriAS considerably
trying to get the Commissioners to take his
note for the amount, he pays it back, claim
ing that he had FORGOT to give credit
All the fault of his bad memory.
Yes, and if the authorities would have
had to rely upon that bad memory, it would
not have been paid over yet, and perhaps
never. The excuse may be satisfactory te
the public, in whose hands we leave him.

"Reminiscences of John &. Cal-

A correspondent of the ST. Louis
Democrat writes: "a gentleman who
spent an afternoon with Calhoun at his
chamber in Washington some time be-

other passages of scripture discussed
by them, he quoted the precept of st.
Peter, Honor all men, What, sir!
Mr.. Calhoun exclaimed, Honor all
menp Is that in the Biblep' Certain
ly, sir was the reply. Sir he said,
God does not require that. Honor all
men! What the fellow in the White
House, and the mass of such beings as

God does not command it. His friend
explained that the passage claimed for

ONE of the orators at the "Democrat-
ic" Convention held here on the 1lth
of August, descanted very eloquently
upon the "barbarous'' treatment of his
friend JEFF. DAVIS at Fortress Mon
roe. Speaking Of his treatment, we
find the following in our exchanges ::
A Fortress Monroe correspondent Of
the New York Herald says that it is
easy to perceive that there is u gradual
relaxation of the rules prescribed by
the War Department in regard to jeff.
Davis. He is now allowed to talk on
all subjects with his guard. He is very
frank in regard to his opinions and
acts, and exceedingly egotistical. The
writer says that at times he appears
remorseful, but he soon RECEIVERS his
cheerfulness. jeff wears the same
rebel gray suit and white felt hat. He
has had no opportunity of cultivating
the acquaintance of tailors. But the
rebel gray is Of the first quality Of fine
ness, and so is the hat. The coat has
black velvet collar. Latterly he has
made his appearance in white vest,
and has done away with his goggles
His boots are finely polished, and, with
his clean wristbands and spotless linen
bosom and collar, there is nothing in
his appeasance belying the genuine
gentleman.
"White vest, polished boots, clean
wristbands and spotless linen bosom
and collars" does not look much like
barbarous treatment, and is in striking
contrast with the treatment of Union
prisoners at Andersonville by this
'noble man, this mighty intellect" as
this Copperhead termed him.

A Copperhead Lie Refuted.

The GAINESVILLE Courier says: The
following slander on our city is got up
no doubt to help the cause Of the so
called Democracy. Some over jealous
young copperhead has thought it would
be good thing to concoct such story
about our city and send it to the Co.
shocton Democrat or Holmes County
Farmer, to give it currency, and then
be copied into every Democratic paper
in the State. We appeal to every good
Union man in the county, ifthis SANDER
should not be rebuked, 1t is whole
sale fiction, nothing of the kind, and
nothing even approaching in similarity
to it, ever occurred in this city;

Besides adopting the emancipation ordi,

contracts of the past four years not incon,

for. the equitable adjustment Of all debts and
obligations concerning which difficulty might
arise in consequence of the change Of

in the Treasury. We know that the
Treasury at that time, and for two and
half years thereafter was in the hands
of democratic" incumbents, and that
there was not dollar in specie in the
Treasury when Mr.. GLOVER took
charge of it. We believe Mr.. JOHN
TwINEM 81 an honest man, and that
he is not responsible for the loss to the
County by the abstraction of this gold,
and we know that Mr.. PATTERSON re-
ceived of Mr.. TwINEM more than fve
times 1892 in specie when he took
charge of the Treasury, and zoe know
and can prone Mothe 1. II. PATTERSON,
did sell gold collected By him as Treas
urer Of the County, and pocketed the
premium.
Again we know that in addition to
the gold there was large amount of
Demand Notes" paid into the Treas
ury and disposed of otherwise than by
paying them out on the order Of the
Auditor, and these notes, as is well
known, have always sold at about the
same premium that gold sold for.

From the Guernsey Thnesl
Our friend Col Poorman, of the Bel
mont CHRONICLE, devotes n column of
his paper in reply to the uugentlcman.
ly and uncalied for attack of the
Guernsey Jeffersonian upon himself in
relation to the Judgeship of this Dis
trict, in which he gives John Okey
particutartts. Although we have not
sufficient knowledge in regard to some
of the facts alluded to to form an opin-
ion, yet we think the castigation he
gives the Judge is not altogether un-
deserved, and we take this opportunity
to place ourselves right on the subject
of his departure from this county,
which is by far the most popular act of
his life, so far as the people of this
community are concerned.
In our last issue we published what
purported to be the proceedings of
regular meeting, held by the members
of the Guernsey Bar, complimenting
the Judge upon his retirement, &C.
Supposing the thing to be all right, as
the names of majority of the mem
bers of the bar appeared thereto, we
published it. We learn, however, on
further inquiry, that the whole thing is
a farce-that no such meeting was ever
held, and that the paper expressing the
compliment mentioned was circulated
quietly among the Judges particular
friends during the March term of this
court, and was signed by certain men,
bers of the Bar, with the express un
derstanding that it,wss only intended
as compliment, and not to be pub
lished; that the paper, even with that
representation, was rejected by certain
prominent members of the Bar, and
was not presented to others at ALL
And it is due to truth to say, after this
strained effort to get up compliment
tary Endorsement, that John W. Okey
leaves this county with no enviable
reputation, either as to his abilities as
a lawyer or his integrity as Judge
A malignant Copperhead partizan, he
never rose above the lowest standard
of partizan prejudice and servility.-
About the beginning of the war, as we
are eredibly informed, he remarked
(taking up a copy of the Constitution
of the United States, "there Is work
thatis pretty much played ous," and we
question if jeff. Davis himself is to day
a more arrant rebel at heart than John
w. Okey. He has long had aspira-
tions for a seat on the Supreme Bench,
and if his views on the Constitution
will further his chances, we give him
the benefit of our columns. Exit Okey.

In the case Of CoNRoY, every one admits
the prosecution was conducted with ability,

assisted in the prosecution, is arraigned

In three other cases which got on the
docket from Justices transcripts, there were
no indictments found, for which Mr.. GLov-
En- arraigns the Grand Jury as great fools.
In two other surety Of the peace cases,
the complaining parties asked the discon-
tinuance upon the payment of costs by the
defendants, which was dene.
In the case of TAYLOR ct aL everything
was made oftho case which possibly could
be, and the Court charged the Jury that
there was not sufficient force to constitute
robbery. The parties were found guilty of
the only crime in that case known to tie
law, were sentenced to pay fine of 500
each, and to 25 days in the cell Of the Jail
on bread and water
TRAINER was found guilty Of Grand Lar
ceuy. The case was tried to Jury of law
yers, and GLOVER says that Jury found the
poor deUiP guilty upon the charge of the
Court, although they we're s,oorn TO find dc-
cording to the ld,o and testimony only. He
knows this statement to be wholly false, and
