One OF the LOYAL.

Some of the loyslists who are excessive in
their devotions to negro suffrage, do not fan.

One scrupulous chap says:

1t is just tho same way down here. The
negro suffrage organ keeps up constant dis
NAL howl about 'copperheads," and does its
very best to make every soldier think the
democrats are his enemies. But, as the SOL
diers come home and associate with the peo-
pie they learn how basely they have been de-
ceived by the negro worshIppers. They have
scarcely been permitted to see democratic

they have been deluged with negro worship

violent abuse OF democrats. As they come
home they learn that democrats have been

the democrats stood by them and shamed the
republicans into taking the back track. They
learn that every democratic convention and
every respectable democratic newspaper and

A CLERICAL VILLAIN.
THE REV. COL...JAQUESS In A NEW
ROLE.
FINALE OF AN INTENSELY LOYAL
METHODIST CLERGYMAN.
From the Louisville Press, Sept. rs.

from the Louisville Press, Sept. 20.
The fall Of such a man as Col. Jaquess is
sufficient TO arouse the sorrow of every man
who knows the former worth OF the gallant
Jaquess. de was one OF the first and most
influential OF the ethodist denomination in
Illinois. When that body established a fe-
male educational school In Jacksonville he
was placed In charge of it. lie managed it
with such talant and success that when q
greater educational enterprise was projected
he was transferred to IL. lie Was engaged in
this when the war commenced. Col Jaquess
Was man OF intense loyalty, of command
ing influence, aud OF great Oratorical ability.
de took the held IN behalf of the Union, and
speedily raised one of the finest regiments
that Illinois gave to the service of the Union.
LII was called the preachers regiment on ac-
count OF the number Of preachers enlisted in
it. OF this regiment Jaquess was made col
onel and served with great distinction.
During the progress of the FAR Col j aquess
had numerous conferences with Bishop SImp-
son, and both were we'll satisfied that If
methodist of proper position in the north
could get among the southern methodists
much might be done towards Gripping the
rebellion. This mission Col. Jaquess under
took with the approval of Bishop Simpson
and of Mr.. Lincoln. Col. Jaquess bravely
met the peril. and travelled extensively among
the southern methodists. He retured just be-
fore the battle of Chckamauga, and took a
conspicuous part in that battle.
Col. Jaquess was the companion Of Mr.. Gil
more IN visit to Richmond for an Interview
with jeff Davis, in which mission they sue
ceeded. This mission was intended TO bring
about peace.
The colonel has recently been detailed for
breaking up the negro camps, such as Camp
Nelson. This is the cause Of his presence In
Kentucky.
On Friday last Col Jaquess employed a
fellow calling himself DIR. IL G Miller, to
procure abortion In the case of II Georgia wo-
man. The colonel was present during the
tragedy, and WAS arrested with the female
soortonist, a. whose house the murder was
perpetrated, and with Miller, the abortionist
the murderer of innocents. The victim
died IN about eight hours after Miller con-
rnenced has Expectations. The whole party

County Orders.
Do THE PEOPLE WANT THEM AT
PART


this county that they lose, ann ually, from 10
to 90 per cent. on ali purchases made for the
county, simply because they elect men Tor
county treasurers who speculate In county
orders and purposeiy keep them below par,
while every man who has bill against the
county must take county orders and sell
them ct from 10 to 20 per oent. discount IN
order to get his money.
The present county treasurer Waltz has
probably made more money by specializing
In county orders, CONTRARY to law than IN
any other way And he has had in training,
for the past few years, the present nominee
of the negro suffrage party, (Thomasl who,
If elected, will pursue the same course.
The question is this: Do the people of ;his
county wish to continue to pas high county
taxes and keep up this system ~ They can
avoid it, if they say so, By elec6lng Bailey
Davenport. When Mr.. Davenport was elect
ed mayor of this city, city orders were
hawked about the streets for from 65 to IS
cents on the dollar. He determined to put q
stop to this, AMI by his good financial man
agement he, long since, brought city orders
to par and for more than two years past the
cash has been paid for every city order. as
soon as presented. Mr.. Davenport, if elect.
ed, would put stop to all the speculations in
county orders, and use the money collected for
county taxes to pay county orders at par,
soon as presented. The whole matter lies
with the treasurer. The county raises
money enough, every year, to pay its orders
but who ever heard of Wait paying the cash
On one-except to himself? The people pay
taxes enough TO enable the county treasurer
TO redeem every order as soon as presented
but the policy pursued by Wait Is to refuse
to pay them, aud have his agents, scattered
about, who Will buy them up for from 65 to
go cents. He mas even violated the express
provisions Of the law by purchasing them
himself. But man mas ever presented
county order 20 him and got the 'ace of 1t.
TIE matter is perfectly plain Ths people
can make their orders cash on presentation,
if they please. by electing Mr.. venport.-
He will not evade the law and engage in the
disreputable business Of purchasing the PEG
pies orders. HIS large wealth an1 high I
character forbid such suspicion. lie looks |
with contempt upon all such schemes, and /
he publicly pledges himself to the PEI
pies money for no other purpose than to re-
deem the peoples orders when presented.
Elect Mr.. Davenport and ne will bring
county orders to par, stop all specializing Id
them, save the people from 10 to 20 per cens
on ali purchases made for the county, be-
cause he will make the orders cash on pre-
sentstion.
Elect Mr.. Thomas aud the same old sys-
tenn of specializing from the hard earnings of
the people will be continued
Which will you do? If you want your
taxes increased and the old system of specu-
latlng continued, vote for Thomas. If you
want yonr county taxes reduced, and your
money used only for the purposes for which
You were taxed, and your county orders at
