The Repabiiea,,, Of las, week, has a stu
pid personal srticle about Mr.. Estep and
the Draft of iS62, gotten up by Bingham,
and his party. Its strange that a man
should write so much "stuE," without
coming to aBy point-evadiRg and covering
up with words, 50 as to leave an impression
without making the point by single fact
1t is wonderful the degeneracy OF these
days, Ii appears s if everybody who gets
apl ointmcn,s from the government, at once
becomes a Rascal-ant as has been noticed
in pronGte.t instances in rhis county the
worse the rascoI the more bitter, he IL
against everybody else -denouncing and
cirping at really good and honest men, and
ancuaipg them of dishonesty 1t has be.
come d c5mmla remark watch the.,a. ex

In 1869, RICHARD GATroN was editor Of
tho Cadiz RspaJiicta, However strong
Mr.. Eatton might have been in his pohti-
cal opinions, we believe he was an honest
man, a;d would not lend the columns Of his
paper to such infamous falsehoods, as now
! fill its eolnmns every week. In short Mr..
Hatton was a man of character. When
these stories were Circulated about Nr.
Estep, in 1862, Mr. Hatton voluntarily
gave the following testimony, in the Re-
publican of October %, 1862. t' a.A
In another column will be found Mr.
! E.tep's retutation Of the charges that are
biug made against him, from which it APP
pears that there was no CO use Tor complaint
on the part of those who make it. We dt
not beliece that Nj, Estep UoHId, istention
atty, 10 injustice to day man. s1-
Aud Mr.. ALLEN, ofthe Sen,iatb in pub
fishing communication, remarks:
:" II But as we were at CAM
1 [Zanesvilel ourselves, we deem it prope
| to say, that although Mr.. EStep's order
| oniy,reduirea him to fake the drafted mel
to Camp. Yet foi the accommodation 0
those who had substitutes, we know, lha
| he did Eemain there number Cf days, ant
done an immense amount of labor, whicl
was no part of his duty, in fixing matters
so that they could get home as soon rs pos
sible. And it has seemed to us ever sine
| the drafted men were taken to camp, tha
certain Republican gentlemen in Cadiz
are and have been, more Interested in max
ing complaints than any Of the. drattet
Emen themselves. "1' ..fh 70

1t is not changed in the afG3avits tina
Mr. Estep received any money from an
one. "I.,
1t is not charged that any person CAV
bis noe to Mr. Estep. (
Bat the Republican seeks to make tn
impression that both there things ar
charged. @"' 3
We repeat; again; mr. Estep nerer r,
cejped one cent for his services gieea til
drafted n,tn at Camp Z,aesciHe. z
And the scalawags and small fry who ar
now making the charges cannot put thei
finger on any man who will swear that b

1t is not the drafted men who are max

1t comes altogether from government o
ficials, and surely the people of this count
