Nine Reasons for not Voting the
MOngrel Ticket.

N4VM8 AAOACS'
We give the following nine reasons why
the loyal, solid, Union men and Repub
licans of Marshall county should not vote
for patched up ticket, called ''Soldiers
and Citizens Ticket" that is being ped
died over this county by few Office seek
efs.
1st: Every copperhead in the county
will rote that ticket.
I'd: No loyal man, soldier or citizen,
should support anything that the copper
heads support.
Sd: Ii tends to divide and disorganize
the Union.Republican party of Marshall
county.
4.h: The originators Of the ticket are a
few fellows, that respectable convention,
composed of intelligent delegates of the
Republican Union voters Of Marshall
county, would not help elevate to positions
they we're not fit to fill.
9Th: Ii is a cunning device of few po-
litically dead and rotten men, who seize
upon the glory and respect attached to a
soldiers name to throw themselves into po-
si.ion by bestowing fa,tery upon the SOL
diers.
9th: Because seven of the candidates,
out of nine, are taken from Marysville.-
This shows that the ticket is made up by
few who think there is no otker place in
the county than Marysvile, and that they
are the controlling men thereof; and that
the people of the county have no rights
that they are bound to respect. There
are eleven candidates on the ticket, but two
of them are compelled to be taken away
from Marysville, they having to come
from Commissioner districts, otherwise the
whole ticket would have been nominated
in town.
9TH: Because the publisher of the pa.
per that is supporting that ticket, called
all Union men iu 1861, ABOLITION Blood
Hounds. and called our martyred Presi.
dent, Abraham Lincoln, an Abolition Fa.
matte.
8th: Because j, is the offspring of few
irresponsible boys, who think to place
themselves in position by attaching few
respectable names to their ticket.
9th: Because it comes from an irres
ponsible source-wi,hout organization
without platform or principles, with moth
ing il or of it, except the Lust for Office O.
three or four fellows who are too lazy tt
work for living.

The MarySyille Ticket.

We are a resident of Marysville, and
what little we have in this world is in Ma
rysville; we have worked for Marysville
are working for it now,-propose to work
for it in the future, but hoggishness and
unfairness we oppose.
The patched up ticket that is being run
by the Enterprise is exclusively Marys-
vile arrangement. an arrangement that
a majority of the substantial men of this
town do not, cannot endorse. 1t was got
ten up by few irresponsible persons who
have little or no interest in this place
men who can pack up and leave any day.
There could possibly be but nine men
upon the ticket nominated from Marysvile,
and this patched up aff.ir has takeu sesen
out of that nine from Marysville. Of
course the people Of the country will see
the imposition and injustice of the affair
and repudiate it and Marysville must bear
the odium. Let US be true to our friends
in the country and help them repudiate the
thing and give renewed assurances that
we are just and generous. MarysviIle can
no, flourish and have the surrounding coun-
try hostile to her, therefore let US all upon
election day stand by the regular ticket
and distribute the Offices of the county
around among those who help maintain
those Offices.

To the voters of Marysville and vicinity
we give the warning. There is feeling
of hostility in the county against Marys-
vile. 1t is caused by the selfish action of
some of its citizens in political matters.
We have done all in our power to allay
this feeling Of hostility. We have warned
warded and counse!ed against it; now if
evil results come from that hostility it is
no fault of ours.
In the Republican Union Convention we
labored to elect good men from the coun.
try to fill the various county Offices men who
would come to town and attend faithfully
to the duties of the Office. That conven.
ton placed nearly all the nominations in
the country. Now there is feeling mani.
fest among the people here to "throw off,
upon some of those nominations and take
up with Marysville men. This will be
met by retaliation in the country and that
of d serious character. The sensible, in
iuential men of this community know to
what we refer. There is yet time to heal
that estrangement. Three more days yet
before election. Let the solid men of Ma
rysville agree among themselves and give
satisfactory assurances of that agreement
TO the candidates in the country, that they
will stand up to the whole ticket faith.
fully and honorably, and all will be we'll.
The people in the country hold club over
our heads, if that club hits US, we shall be
sorry for it.
Marysville must treat the people of the
country, in all matters, and especially DO.
litical matters, with some degree of res
pect. The town has many friends in the
country, some few enemies; let US be sure
and treat our friends well and we need not
fear our enemies. Let the Republican
Union men Of this place, men who have
been benefited by the Republican Union
voters Of this county, stand square up to
the regular ticket, and our friends in the
country will do the esame-otherwise, other
wise.

Gen. Grants Indian Policy

1t is gRtifyiug to know that our dis
tinguished Commander in Chief has given
his attention to The Indian affairs in the
country West of US, and that policy has
been adopted that we believe will insure
more quiet than the frontier has enjoyed
for many years. A correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, writing from Washing
ton, says: The West will no doubt be
glad to learn that the Lieut. General has
also already taken up question in which
the people of the States and Territories
West of the Mississippi are vitality interes-
ted, viz: the military policy towards the
Indians and the overland routes. He has
not only taken it up, but iastead ofwasting
weeks and months of precious time in in
ves,galions and deliberations, he has rec
ognized the importance of immediate ac.
tiop, and instituted measures to enforce ii
as far as lies in his power to do SO. He
has already issued full instructions to Ma
jor Generals Sherman and Pope, directing
them to give their particular attention to
this subject, and take without delay the
necessary steps to put an end, at the ear
liest possible moment, 10 the Indian troub-
les and the Insecurity OF the three great
highways of overland travel-the Platte,
Smoky Hill and Arkansas routes. Nu-
merous permanent fortified posts will be
esta blished along them. with regular gar
risons, as we'll as with movable detach-
ments for the cons,an, palrolling of the
roads and The quick pursuit of depredalors,
white or red skinned, upon ,he persons and
property of settlers and traders. The exc
cution Of the late bar burous orders Of Gen.
Csnpor, and other bloodthirsty Indian
fighters, that would have involved the
Government ina costly war for years, will
be stayed, and a system of treatment of the
Indians more in accordance with justice
and humanity, established. The voluu-
teers now serving on the plains will be re-
placed by four thousand colored troops.

whites toward the Indians we'll qualities
them for carrying out this new policy.
Most of these measures are due to the in-
telligent, earnest and untiring representa-
tions Of Lieut. Col. Tappan. Of tae 1st

vocacy before the proper authorities of the

Gen. Sherman or COniisc cali0n.

Gen. Sherman is evidently determined
to disappoint those of the coppcrheads whO
were exhibiting such anxiety 20 adopt him
as their leader. In speech to the SCI
dlers at Lancaster, Ohio, few weeks ago,
referring to the subject Of confscatiOu, he
said: ''The rebels ventured everything
in the struggle. Hence, when We whipped
them, all their property became ours BY
conquest. They forfeited their rights to
it, and l, being agent for the Government
to which l belonged, gave you authority
to keep all the quartermas,er couldn't take
possession of, or didn't want" This idea
is pure and simple Radicalism. A cop
perhead can no more digest it than he can
one of Tbad. Stevens speeches. And 50
the snake party is again disappointed ID
their hopes-Champioa.

SEED CORN.-Not only should extra
care be taken 10 have all corn designed for
planting next spring thoroughly ripeued
and dried, but the best ears should be Sc.
lected. Those rpening first are quite like
ly to produce the earliest ripeniug crop
when planted again.
The largest ears should be taken, and
these from the mos, prolific stalks. Those
which are perfect, having the kernels we'll
filled ou, at both ends, should in all cases
be chosen.
These matters are quite too often over
looked. We have known many farmers
who have expended five to ten dollars or
more per acre in preparing and planting d
piece of ground, from which they have
gathered half a crop, simply for want of a
shilling worth of time in selecting and
preparing the best seed, and this, in a
greater or less degree, is the case generally.
It is like hat her piece of bad economy
practiced by muliitudes, who send their
children to The district school year at an
expense of fro,n thirty to fifty dollars for
clothing, teachers, &c, and yet lose halfihe
benefit to be derived simply because they
withhe Id one extra shilling for suisa-
bic book
We urge every farmer to 60 through his
corn-felds himself. as soon as the crop is RI
pened, and gather out the kind of ears we
have indicated, and then either husk and
store them away in dry room, or go back
TO the o!d-fashioned plan of stripping down
the husks, braiding them together SO that
the seed ears may be hung up in the attic,
or any other safe place.
