Pass HIM ARoUND.-About six weeks ago
an individual appeared in this place calling
himself David c. Wood. He professed tC
be an agent of the Equitable Life Insurance
Co., and stated that he was from Pittsburg
He put up at the Union House, where he
met a widow lady whose confidence he soon
managed to completely secure. Rumor has
1t that he proposed marriage to the aforesaid
widow and had been accepted. On Wed
nesday, the llth inst, he left for Monmouth,
representing that he would return in few
days when il was understood he was to fulhl
his enQaqamaat- --;.h che widow. Before he
left he was intrusted by her with $50 with
which to make for her certain purchases.
He had also secured from her $40 borrowed
money, and was otherwise indebted to her,
amounting in all to $3.50. He has not been
heard from since thai Wednesday morning.
He is undoubtedly villain, and he has
meanly betrayed con6ding woman and
cruelty robbed a dependant widow. He
has dark eyes anu bsir, is about feet ! !
inches high, wore brown mixed pants, drab
sack coat and stiff felt hat, in style about
two years old. The fingers of his right hand
are disabled so that he can only shut or open
them by using his left hand to do so. Ii is
believed that he went from here TO Peoria.

session, in the evening, on the state of the
radical party in the county, that conclave was

it seems, kicked clear out of the traces, and
declared he wouldn'Svete for Gould anyhow.
"Not one republican member of the Board "
says Joslin, expressed satisfaction in re-

all this, and after caucusing all around the
county, with their leaders, these radical wire
workers concluded "not to bring out an in,

not plainly carry out what he threatens. 1t

shows that the radical managing clique are

A Washington special to the Chicago

A Washington special to the Chicago
Times says:
1t is learned from official quarters that
Gen. Ord asked to be relieved from the COM
mand Of the fourth military district, and was
not removed by the President for any cause.
Gen. Meade, who is ordered to relieve
Gen. Pope, is expected by the administra-
ton to pursue the same policy that Gen.
Hancock has inaugurated in Louisiana.
The reasons which induced the President
to remove Gen. Swayne from the freedmen's
bureau in Louisiana were based on docu-
mentary evidence, alleging that Swayne was
running the bureau in his interest as cand-
idate for the United States senate from Ala

VOTING IN THE SOUTH

The mass of the people have no idea of
the grossness of the election farces that have
been enacted in the south, nor of the gross
degradation of the mass of negroes in whose
hands the radicals have placed the govern
ment of ten great states. The following ex-
tract from one of the officers employed in
directing these stupendous outrages, will
give them slight perception of the magni-

The prophet Jeremiah was thorough
democrat, and one of the leading men of his
day in the democratic party. In one of his
speeches which have come down to the pres.
ent day, he said
"Stand we in the old ways, and see, and ask
for the old paths where is the good way, and We
shall find rest for your souls"
1t needs no prophet at the present time to
assure the country that it must task for the
old paths where is the good way" or it will
never find rest for its soul.

THE SURVEYORS, WAR.

!. If radicals can be believed, they have, on
account of party necessity, forced upon the
people of this county an utterly incompe-
tent man for the very important office OF
county surveyor. We have already laid be-
fore our readers, the action of the Board of
Supervisors then the explanation of the
Board; then the communications of "Mo-
line" of c. Fl. Stoddard, and of Surveyor
Gould. We now continue the record by
publishing the following, copied from the
