NJ December, 1860, after The fall election "
II we had felt as much confidence in the
statements of the journal, as rs readers
ought to be able TO feel, we would perhaps
have concluded that our information had
been erroneous---but we did not exactly
like the heading of the Journals article,
so we pursued the inquiry by having an
examination Of the poll-books made,
which are deposited in the Office of the
Secretary of State at Columbus.
The result has not been at all compli-
mentary to the accuracy or truthrulness of
the editor Of the journal.
1t is this, AS THE RECORD SHOWS -
Geo. Crook voted in the LIST Warl in
Dayton at the Presidential election of
1860. The names as they stand upon the
poll book, are as follows
Jacob Caswell, August Adam, Joseph
Dornbush, Oliver Crook, GEoRoE CRooK,
E.. Chamberlin, jeremiah Waller, &c
Hugh Wiggim, and John s. Morehead
{ (Morehouse, perhaps) were the Judges of
the election upon that occasion, and A.
Kuhus and f. ]. Brownell were the clerks.
The community will hereafter be better
able to judge of the accuracy of the more
circUmstantiaI and positive statements of
the editor Of the journal
We trust tits not necessary Ito make
any apology to Gen. Crook for the use of
his name in this connection. An unau-
thorized and an untruthful assertion was
made by the Journal, to fix upon us the
stigma of falsehood We have simply
turned the tables upon the gentleman up
street. We should like him to state by
what peculiar definition he distinguishes
his own lies. We have some curiosity to
see how the Journal will get out of this
matter.
There are two ways in which the thing
can be done. The one is the way of a
gentleman. the other of blackguard.
We hope, for the credit of journalism,
that the editor will not resort to the latter.

The SECRETARY OF WAR.--The Pittsbnrg
Post remarks as follows concerning Mr. Stan.
ton: .......
The present Secretary of War is one of
those singular compounds which a nation in
commissions will sometimes throw to the sur
face, and who, having a rugged strength, and
no sensbhty at all, can for a while maintain
themselves with wondrous potency. This
results more from rough vigor and powers of
physical endurance than from anything else.
Look around, and see the hundreds of this
class who are now in public places, who, ten
years ago, would not be thought of for any
position more exalted than seat in our Com
mon Council These people have made pol
itics trade--a profession for making money,
and during our late civil war they succeeded
in 'linng their sleeves" most extravagantly.
They are strong, rough energetic fellows,
with skins as thick as that Of the rhinoceros,
and are. besides, shining examples that a
man will never lack gold in his pockets as
long as he carries an abundance of brass in
his face.
