sive Of good order. The truth is that they
were defsated-"that's what's the matter
with the purp"-and they should come down
gracefully aud behave themselves. If they
had carried the election, does any one sup
pose they would have thrown it up because
Esq. Martin was not sworn, or because he
procured the assistance of G. b. Marshall
ESQ in counting the ballotsf Not much
not any, and they only showed their hypocri-
oy and their disposition to thwart the ends of
law and Justice by the course they are pur-
suing.
If they wished to contest the election the
law requires them to commence operations
| within 80 days. That time has passed, and
il is now too late to contest it, and the per-
sons elected are the legal township officers,
for the ensuing year. At the June term of
the board of supervisors Mr.. Rev nolds will
claim his seat, and if the old township of
hcers attempt to perform the duties belong
ing to the newly elected officers they will be
prosecuted for so doing. The democrats of
Canoe Greek don't propose to be run over
by radical copperheads-not this year.
One of the Union Lies.
EDITOR OF THE ARGUS. Dear Sir-My att
tention has been called to silly piece o.
nonsense and lies which appeared in the cop
perhead Uaaon. in regard to a pretended con-
versation between two men named Hayes and
Cole, in Buffalo Prairie. No such cooversa-
tion occurred nor nothing which eounds like
it, and the man who wrote the article, or who
represents the story is liar and scoundfei,
and nuisance in any community. Heshows
his ignorance and stupidity by making
Hayes say: What do you think, BLY,
&C., &C., that is, he makes Billy Hayes ask
himself the question. .
But nothing Of the kind occurred. The
conversation which really did occur wa this:
| was relating to Billy Hayes a report given
me by man who had just returned from
Missouri, who said that negroes could be
hired there for So year and a suit of
clothes, and | :hen said: Nv hat do you
think now shout niggers suffering ?" The
idea | meant to convey was that the negroes
were suffering, and were worse of, pecunlar-
lily. than before they were emancipated
For the poor fools who make up such silly
lies as were published in the onion. and for
the gullible editor who publishes them, |
have no other feeling than contempt.
Yours, &c,
GEO. NJ Cole

Endeavor if possible, to keep a clear consci

YOU wish to- Go to all the places of arnuse

above ground in your dwellings, and above

snakes" Don't get scared before you are

CANOE CREEK ELEcTIoN.-The course OF
that of Arthur Goodrich, the defeated town
clerk, who refuses to give up the books to
the newly elected officers, is a very repre-
hensible one, and it ID believed that the
county clerk encourages and aids this viola.
tion of decency. When the board of super.
vsors held an extra meeting, the newly cleo
ted democratic supervisor, Mr.. Reynolds,
was not notifed-bus the republican super
visor, James Hill, was notified and appeared
and claimed his seat and voted in organic
ing the board, and acted during the session.
This was wrong. Mr.. Reynolds and not Mr..
Hill should have been nosiisd,- and il Mr.
Hill or any ono else wanted to contest Mr..
Reynolds's right to 4 seat they could have
done SO.
Goodrich, probably acting upon the advice
of his party leaders, refuses to certify to the
election of the officers fairly elected, or to re.
cord the proceedings of the meeting, and
thus tries to defeat the will of the people and
produce anarchy in she township-and all
for few petty town Offices.
The radicals claim that the election was
void because the moderator was not sworn,
and because he had some one to assist him in
counting the balloss. Neither Of these are
sufficient reasons to set aside the election
There is no prstense of fraud or unfairness
in the election, and the course pursued by
the republicans is very unfair and subvir-
