SHAMEFUL. LYING. The Ex-Deputy
Collector of Customs of Ffenchman's Bay,
who. it is reported, has the spending of the
Waldo County funds to defeat Mr. Pike,
is reporting the falsehood that Mr.. Pike
told Secretary McCulloch that Monroe
Young was u war Democrat all through
the war. and member of the Othodox
Church in Ellsworth. Il is said that Gen
eral Caldwell stands by while his travelling
companion retails this lie, and silently en-
dorses it. We did think better Of the
General than this, but no one would of
the Ex-Deputy. We pronounce the story
a falsehood.
