The WhiteWashed Candidate.

The Democrat in reply to our query as to
whether il was true, as reported, that Mr. Hough-
ton, the Democratic nominee for Recorder, voted
70. Colfax and Parks in lo62, says:
"The report is partly true ard partly false--ta-
ken as our neishbor puts it, it is wholly false.
Houghton saws he voted for the parties named. and
while he acknowledges his error is heartily asham
ed of having been 80 far msled to ndoTse by his
vote in the slightest degree, the wrong doings Of
the administration. That he voted for Colflx in
order to retain the post Office at Polrbon' is false
When he was first urged to accept the office. ne
consented to do so only democrat, and SO in
formed Mr.. COliax at the time. The appointment
was not solicited BY him, and he never directly or
indirectly did anv thing TO retain the Office On
the contrary il a burden 10 him, which he on
ly assumed for the accommodation of the citizens
in and about Bourbon, and winch he willingly
threw off when another was fOUnt who was likely
90 give public satisfaction.
We give friend HOughton the benefit OF the a
bove whitewashiEg, out regret that We are com
PEELED to pronounce the statements false in almost
every particular, many citizens of Bourbon ac-
auainted with the facts know. II is totally untrue
that he did not solicit the post office, that he
willingly gave !; up "when another " as found who
was likely to give public satisfaction" The truth
is he WAS anxious to get the pos; Office in the
first instance that he pledged himself to the Union
men of Bourbon to sustain the Administration in
It's efforts to put down the rebellion, and anroun-
ced besides his intention TO vote against the en-
tire Democratic State ticket, declaring the
time that he could not support any man who en-
dorsed the Democratic State platform OF lo62
Is was upon the faith Of these promises and pledS-
es that the Union men Of Bourbon recommended

ereant in part to these promises and pledges that
the Union men Of Bourbon recommended and pro-
cured his dismissal. II he willing to give
up the Post Office why did he seek an interview
with prominent Union of Bourbon and in

And what was his motive in informing the Union
man, at the same interview, that he intended to
vote for CoIfax and Parks7 This conversation
occurred on the eve Of the election of that year.
The Democrat also says: "The reasons why
NJ III. voted for COlfax and Parks were Of per-

The following extract from an address delivered

T., gives statement Of the condition oil the Order
Our progress as an order, since the lst of No

five lodges have been organized, besides several
gIniZatiOns and but surrender OF charters.
These two, that surrendered, have reorganized and
are again at work. Some twelve hundred mem
beers have been added to tine Good Templar army
within the same time. Among The achievements
OF our order, the redemption from the power OF the
Rum Hing OF several persons wrO were sunk low
in tie he CT humanity; found in the gutter, they
were taken from thence to the place oil safety. and
are now sober, Industrious, trustworthy citizens,
and excellent members of our noble order. The
thought of the redemption OF an inebrate, Of the
restoration Of one drunken husband, father or
brother, to soberness and to their family, far, far
outwe ishs all the toll and time spend in this
glorious cause. The history OF the past will sure
ly proilot Us TO still greater deeds and efforts
snatch the erring from the fearful doom that awaits
them. May the God of Israel strengthen our
hearts in this great work and grant still greater
success

CAPTURED Again.

Colonel Alfred B. Wade, late of the 13d Ind,
was captured by Miss Jennie Y. Bond, of Niles,
Michigan, On the 9th inst. With the aid OF Rev.
t. d. Hunt she bound him with silken cord, and
in order to prevent his escape or reconcile him
his capt vity it is said she makes him sleep by her
side OF nights. We imagine il docs not require
much force to induce the gallant Colonel to sub
NIT to the latter arrangement, especially as her
couch is doubtless much softer and pleasanter in
every respect than the one his hospitable South
ern friends furnished him while so;ourning among
them.

Jeii Davls's Responsibility for the
AndersonyilIe Murders,

Dispatches from Washington, SAYS the lndianap-
oils Journal, state that documentary evidence is
in possession OF the Judge Advocate of the Wirz
Commission, showing that Davis, Seldom, and
other leading rebels were cognizant of and author
lied the AndersOnville cruelties. There can be no
doubt in the minds of impartial men, in the absence
Of documents that the horrors of Andersonvlle
were the result Of deliberate policy adopted by
the rebel President and War Department The
appointment of Winder as Commissary General
of Prisoners was made with special reference to
his brutal qualifications, and the murderous work
planned for him. The condition of our prisoners
Andersonyiile was notorious throughout The
South, and formed the subject of discussion in the
Northern newspapers and in Congress and it was
publicly announced in the papers of Richmond.
months before Wirz ceased his functions as tor
turer, that delegation of the prisoners was to be
permitted to visit Washington to lay their pitable
condition before President Lincoln. To relieve
their distress in some measure, our authorities
solicited the privilege of sending blankets, cloth
ing and provisions to the sufferers and did send
also did the relatives Of the prisoners large sup
plies, goodly portion of which we're stolen by
rebel officers and soldiers, and the remnant doled
out to the prisoners. The barbarous treatment of
prisoners at Belle Isle, in plain sight from the
windows OF jeff. Diys's mansion, were so notori-
Gus that an investigating committee was appointed
by the rebel House of Representatives, to inquire
into the abuses practiced by Winder; and Henry
s Foote declares that the disclosures were so hor
ribe that the facts not made public; vet can
any one doubt that Davis was advised of what the
committee and learned? With knowledge of
Winder's fcndish conduct 1t Belle Island, Davis
or Seldom, or both OF them, sent him to Andcr-
sonvile, and collected all the prisoners east of
the Mississippi at that place. Were Wnder could
slaughter them more RAPIDLY than when they were
scattered in different prison camps.
We trust that there is 10 mistake in tie state
ment that the Government is in possession of writ
zen evidence to fix the crime upon Davis and Sed
don. In that the people will demand the
same measure OF justice, ard the same method of
trial for them, that is being awarded to Wirz.

Election October 10, 1865.

The Republican charges tiat the senior editor
of this paper was once an abOlitonist that then
hated negroes. and that We now love TO hate them
more than ever before. We DENY that we ever
were an a6olitOnist, and if We have always disli-
ked negroes, it is mora than can be said of our
ishbor, unless reports from his former place OF
residence belle him. Our dislike extends TO the
whole OF woolly heads while his, if he has any,
only extends to those of the male persuasion.--
