"petty false hoods" Ii isn't every man
who is endowed with his power of fab
ricating great ones, and he shouldn't be
so vain of his gifts as to rebuke folks
who are not SO accomplished as he. In
other words, he ought not to be so
proud of his talent at lying rs to des-
pise humble folks who merely place
paragraphs of fact against his columns
Of fiction. Lie as you have n mind,

dent deny anybody else the privilege of

We are glad to hear that you don't

write it. You don't "throw dirt" you
know. You prefer to eat it. And by
the way. what glorious gulp You did
swallow under a-no; we're wrong. 1t
was another man that that was threat
ened with somebody's expectoratiou.
Then tell US who said the Convention
was made up of "rebelism and ruffian-

You don't "throw dirt. and call bard

You have had n "beautiful sufiicicncy"

get through, you will be willing to
abate your venom, aud adopt solac
other weapon of warfare than
wholesale slander. In day or two we
will present for your edifcation the

An Injured Man,

The editor of the Iatelligeaoer is all

on most outrageously. It was very
naughty in the public to suppose that
anybody had offered to "spit in the
face" of the darling, "curled darling
he is, or to think that any body ever COM
PEELED him to make retraction. It's all
a mistake. He didn't wait for the sa-

spontaneous, self.acting sense of jus

Death OF Miles O'hetty.
The telegraph has already announced
the death of General CHARLES G. HfL,
PINE, better known as "Private MILES
O'REuLY." His death was caused by
an overdose of chloroform, taken to re-
lieve severe neuralgia. We make the
following extract from the Pittsburgh
Dispdtch's, notice OF his death
General Halpine was an Irish
man by birth, but for ten or twelve
years past has been prominently identi-
lied with the politics of New York City.
He was always Democrat, bnt at the
breaking out of the war he very conclu-
sively demonstrated that he was Var
Democrat, by entering the service at
once. lie served with credit and distinc.
tion, being for long time on General
Hunters staff. 1t was while serving in
this capacity, during the siege OF
Charleston, that he wrote his famous
ode to admiral Dullgreen," which
gave him at once national reputation
He had written before various fugitive
pieces OF considerable merit, but this
serio. comic complaint of the supposed
Private Miles O'Reilly," of Gilmort's
army, against the delay Of the navy in
cooperating, so exactly, pointedly and
beautifully expressed the popular senti-
ment of the time. that his witty words
were quoted through the length and
breadth of the land. From this time un-
til he retired from the service, "Private
Miles" continued to sustain the reputa-
tion he had earned, by frequently giving
his metrical opinions on men and things,
TIE pungency aud humor CT which
were duly appreciated. When his term
of service expired General Halpine re-
turned to New York, where his fame
had preceded him and secured him quite
an ovation, very numerous account OF
which appeared in the Herald. Since
that time he has been the editor of the
New York Citizen. In IS66 he was elect
ed City Recorder, by a vote which well
attssted his personal popularity. His
death will cast a gloom over q very
large circle o: friends. .....

LOUISVILLE, August 3.--The election
held in the State Of Kentucky, to-day,
was for Governor, Circuit Judges, Com
mon wealth Attorney, and other small
offices. The result has been great rictO.
ry for the Democratic party.
The following is the vote of the city
of Louisville: Stevenson, Democrat,
S344; Bader, Republican, 1892; Steven
sons majority, 1852. All the other
regular Democratic candidates, ten in
number, who were opposed by indepen-
dent Democrats, were elected by ma
iorities ranging from five to seven thou
sand, except Welmen, for Marshal of
the Chapcery Court, whose majority is
about 1900. Returns from the State
every where show large increases of Demo
cratic majorities, and falling of in Radicdl

small in the interior counties, Steven

Agent of the New York Tribune
Horrible TO tell-O! O.! O!!! ..

Editors Of the Register. >
The citizens of eur place have recent
ly been informed Of the existence of the
Internal Klan within our county. Aud
the terrible deeds that are nightly per.
petrated, upon our best Union men!
exceed the powers of description. Hon.
est farmers are decOyed from their
homes. Mechanics, tradcsmen, rner.
chants, and all, are alike subject to the
nocturnal visits of these monsters, who
come down upon Union men with terri,
bic vengeance. Widows ars manufac.
tured by the hundred, and orphans by
the thousand. Stacks of grain are con-
sumed, houses burned, farms destroyed,
stores robbed, women insulted, men
(that is loyal men) are murdered, and,
in short, general ruin prevails in all
parts of our county. ..t
All this is accomplished in the dark
ness and gloom of night. And when
the morning comes not trace Of the
bloody Klan is to be seen. No man is
found dead or missing from his home;
the grain stacks and houses are in their
proper places; no smoking embers of
ruined dwellings; no mourning widows
or crying orphans; no funeral process
sions; no hue and cry is raised to catch
the murderous Williams; and in short,
they leave no marks by which we could
know of their visit. Hence were it not
for the activity and watchfulness, the
perseverance,, the unceasing, untiring,
never-ending and eternal vigilance Of
the old gentleman who acts 81 agent
for the New York Tribune; were 1t not
fer his exceeding great care in guard
ing our interests, we would never
have known that one Of
the Klan was ever in our
neighborhood. All honor to his
great name! Citizens Of Jackson, come
forward and rescue the name of Uriah
Evans from oblivion! He has no bosom
companion to share his honors; no
child, ITO perpetuate his greatness or snc-
coed TO his fame; none to boast, in sue
ceeding generations, of his glorious
achievements. Come, let US proclaim
to the world his deeds of might; let us
publish abroad the wonderful value of
his discoveries. Were it not for his un-
precedented penetration our county
wonld soon have been ruined by this
devilish Klan. We would all have been
our families scattered; our
homes plundered aud burned, and our
whole county Except Conservatives
and Democrats) would have been anni-
hilated; aud not one of us would have
known anything about it. But, thank
God and the Tribune agent. we are
saved.
Come then; let every man come, and
bring with him corn cob, aud with all
the cobs thus contributed We will erect
a monument to his memory and engrave
his mighty deeds upon it in phesphores-
cent characters, that will not be obliter-
ated until the first rain. DURoC.
