Ed! STATESMAN: 1T is truly Refreshing
for a rowing Democrat to find himself 10 q
place like this, where old fashioned De-
hfocracyis in theascendehcy. What mem
ories are brought up on entering county
Offices where are TO be found generous
looking old spllnt-bottom chairs, the frame
works of which are made ofhickory sprouts,
with the bark on. They carry, the mind
back to the, days Of our prosperity and
happiness--days when Justice and consti-
tutional rights were reeoghized-days the
like Of which many Of our, best gmen are
predicting will never be repeated in our
wounded and bleeding c6tintry.O3 .7n
p Licking is one of the mostfeliable Demo-
cratic counties in the State, and nowhere
can better workers be found than here.
They do nothing by the halves. I am
pleased to see that your paper, under the
new arrangement, is meeting with hearty
encouragement at their hands, and learn
that your daily listrhere has been about
trebled within the last few days. This
must be gratifying to you and will work
well for the party. :.V.iloI
',a'aT THE PROPOSED IMPEACHMENT ,,
Of the President is exciting much talk
among the people, and the prevailing senti-
ment evidently favors sustaining the Pres
ident in resisting the usurpations Of Con-
gress by'all means necessary to sustain the
Executive and Judicial branches of the
Government. ,"'m.' 10 %
1a.i'...g.'a THE CONTEST a ."
In this Congressional district is exciting
considerable attention. Delano has filed
his specifications, twenty-five in number,
and General Morgan has put in his answer
denying said specifications in every partic-
ular and alleging forty delinqueneies and
offenses committed by gDelano and his
friends to secure votes and defeata fair and
honest expression of public sentiment.
One of Delano's charges is that General
Morgan, in conjunction with others, pro-
cured the removal of Radicals from office
and secured the appointment of Conserva-
tives in their stead. What an offense! "
! III am not mistaken, this contest will re-
veal the fact that Delano and his friends
were the ones who sought by foul means to
secure majority in the district. | learn
that in several instances direct bribery was
resorted to-, Money was used profusely
for corrupting the election wherever such
means could be made to accomplish their
purpose. In one township, in Knox eoun-
ty, former county auditor, and preacher,
acted as a judge of election, and whenlan
illegal radical vote was offered, Demo-
crat standing by called the attention Of
said judge to the statute, whereupon. the
said Rev. Radical Indignantly pushed the
statute to one side, and remarked: "We
have got the power, and intend to keep it,"
The ticket was put into the ballot-box.
In another locality, persons totally unau-
thorized to receive votes-men who did not
residein the election preclnct-received,
counted and certified to the votes, giving
Delano several hundred majority. The con-
test promises to resultin largely increased
majority for General Morgan; but what
will Congress care for that2 How was it in
the cases of Brooks, Voorhies, and others?
Arrangements are being made for taking
the testimony, which promises to be very
voluminous, and, since the General is not
chairman of any committee on claims, 1t
will draw heavily upon his private purse to
do the work required. We hope our DEM
ocratic friends will stand by him and see
that money, or the want Of 1t, shall not pre-
vent justice from being done. of.
NEWARK ra.t 1't u.
Is enc of the finest inland cities of the State,
full of lie, energy, and has a healthy
growth. A fine brick block is being fin
ished on the south side of public square,

The three railroads formingga junction at
this place propose to erect fine depot
building next summer. So mote it be.
