The Somerset Herald Of last week con-
tains whole column Of billingsgate over
the signature e. 5. We are sorry to
have been the innocent cause Of this inflic-
ton upon the readers Of that paper, but are
sobSoled by the reflection that as the Heraid
has been for a long time-so long that the
memory Of man runneth not to the contrary
simply an advertising sheet, as devoid of
editorial as Its editor appears to be Of decen-
cy, It IS probable. it has not many readers
Those few however must have been wonder
tuIly startled Thunder out Of cloudless
Ky couldn't have been more surprising.
That an editor 50 long edltouaHy Ueiuncr
should suddenly revive and Immediately be-
Gin ID seold Ike fish woman, was a phe-
uouenon calculated 10 open men eyes. II
was wise in him to identify himself by the
initials +. S. We coBcede. that the gen
tieman has quite a wonderful command of
language of a certain not very elegant kind.
He calls US a 'eoggillg kuaye Such was
our ignorance Of our own attributes that we
had to consult Webster for the meaning Of
this participial adjective We half believed
that be was saying something good Of us.
True, We didn' t exactly Ike the Laare but
then there was the eoggihg that might, for
aught we knew, redeem the whole phrase.
We felt disposed to take compliment out
Of the article If possible. We are sorry to
have to announce that we could not. Those
other elegant phrases leash Of NANCY whit
its, ''brace Of simpering imbecilos.
'scouudreny insiuuations &C., &c, We an
dcTstand betteT-yet they strike us as being
more forcible than argumentatiye. Almost
auy body with little talent for blackguard
ism might use them. We advise our Som
crset brother to moderate bis wrath, aud
tell US in plain english what he thinks Of
Senator Stutzman votes on the Free Rail
road Law, also Of has friend Meyers patri-
otic course during the war, in supporting the
Government to put down the rebellion. And
while he is writing on these interesting sub
iccts, viii he be pleased to explain why it
was that Stutzman wrote to General Came
ron urging the confirmation of Meyers as
Collector.
In regard to the appointees to the Collec
torship and Assessorship, We know Mr.
Asheom to be man Of intelligence and in
tegrity, and we are informed that Mr. Nc
Sherry is also a very good citizen, unexcep-
Gonable, except that he is Democrat
What his course was during TIE war, we
bpovr VT l,.-4 .L:- --o ID Irnogs be- vroe not
eonspicuously disloyal, and he Is not the
INSCRIPTIONS editor Of partisan sheet.
The somewhat incredible statementof i,
5. that be has labored for fifteen years n
se1s2a and ont Of seosoa for the Councils
vile Road, and all at his own expense, and
without his having dollar Of interest in
the matter more than the poorest man in the
county, is a wonderful manifestation Of dis
interested action. We could not have be-
lieved it, if he had not told it himself Yet
he must have worked good deal more olt
gf season than ~ season. IF b. win allow
a suggestion from friend, and now that
we are on such good terms, no doubt be will
may we be permitted to express the hope
that hereafter be viii labor 10 season, and
quit this Improbable work out Of season;
and just now. perhaps, it would be quite sea-
sonable to have some explanation Of his ST
lent aoluiescence in Senator Stutzman
repeated votes in favor Of the great monop
oly, and against fair Free Railroad Law.
