c.TDIpArEs m HEURY COUNTY.

From the Republic, we learn that Maj
Mock and W. q. Sheppard, of Cambridge,
George G. Alden, Of Annawan, and 9. G
Wilson, of Kewanee, are all candidates foE
the nominations for prosecuting attorney
The Republic has the following comPlanen-
tary of Wilson, viz:
"The people of this county have had aDou'
enough Of C. G. Wilson, and ne mas maui ~; =
out Of the Office. not only to set up BANK IN ne,
vance, but to retire. When wilson was eiec.ea
in 1864 he wasn't worth naro.y oua"I
NOR ha ia rich. The sentiment is general and
60 th.t he should be allowed to 60 into pri-
xata Fife. and that an honest man should be pro-
NOTED to the place. p"
We should think, after such notice as
the above, that Wilson would get the nomi
nation.
The Republic also brings out man BY
the name of Wait, formerly county Judge
we believe, for senator. Does Henry claim
the prosecutor and senator also? W.
thought oar aspiring young radical lawyers
had abandoned all hope of being prosecutors
in order to give Webster another term al
senator. -ss esq sssSee
The Republic is also very Jealous for the
denomination of Ebony Ingersoll, for con
gress, and resorts to rather unlustihabl'
means to prejudice the people against Gen
Howe, by saying:
"There is painful rumor afoat in this count.
that General Howe will consent to become tn
congressional candidate of the copperheads an'
soreheads.

If Hoif-s Malt Extract Health Beverage
proves its great value as dietetic, nourish-
ing, and healing remedy by its enormous
consumption throughout the world during
the past eighteen years if the scientific
bodies of all civilized countries have united
in its praise and bestowed upon its originator
many medals and diplomas if the most EN-
inent physicians recommend it in their prac-
tice to their debiitated patients, and to those
suffering from diseases Of the Throat, Chest,
and Lungs, or afflicted with Dyspepsia, Fou
Stomach, Loss of Appetite, ETC.; If its in
PRODUCTION into the principal hospitals
Europe and America has done wonders, as
the official reports will testify, then we feel
that the American public are justified in
their appreciation of its great value, and in
their discrimination between Hof7s Malt Ex-
tract Health Beverage and the innumerable
so-called remedies and tonics of the day,
which are short-lived by reason of the slight
foundation on which they build their repata-
ton but Hof-s Malt Extract Health Bev-
erage has been steadily increasing its con-
sumption for the past eighteen years, and is
more popular to day than ever, and wherever
introduced has met with wellmerited sue

Republican towards.

With one word Congressman Kerr, OF In
diana, put a fitting stigma ON the party
which dares not trust its fate to the voters OF
the free men of the United States, but seeks,
by DISTINGUISHING whites and enfranchising
blacks, to cheat for vote in its own favor.
They are towards:
"But the gentleman from Pennsylvania
Mr.. Broomall) was pleased to say, in the
course of his remarks, that any man who
feared the domination of the negro race In
this country was coward.
s'Mr. Speaker, is it evidence of courage to
court the domination of negroes? Is it states
manship to introduce into the body of cleo.
tors, the governing and law-making classes,
the most inferior, ignorant, and corruptible
races on earth? Such policy has not been
tolerated or adopted by any government,
people or party known In history, except the
present radical party in this country. A
government which rests npon and can only
be sustained by the intelligence and virtue
of the people cannot be safely committed to
such guardians.
"Ah, Mr.. Speaker, who are the towards in
this country to-day? Are the democratic
party? A party whose fidelity to principle
haa been characterized by degree of cour-
age and self-sacri6ce that has known no par
allel in the history of political parties or OF
civil government. | will tell you who the
towards are, they are those white men OF
this country who marshal themselves under
the leadership of the radical party, who are
afraid to meet the democratic party, their
white fellow-eitizeDs, in fair hand-to-hand
fight before the people of this country, Of
their own race, blood and lineage, but skulk
and iutrench themselves behind the power
and influence and aid of a negro population.
They are those who are towards Yes, they
are afraid to appeal for support to and abide
the verdict of their own race. They trembie
as convicted criminal before such tribu-
nal, and by an unnatural and unjust exer-
else of power appeal for support to a race
utterly incompetent either to govern or sup
port themselves. They fear to avow before
the country the principles on which they
stand. Let it not be said that the members
of the democratic party are towards because
they fear negro domination. We have nc
fear when we have only to do battle before
the intelligence and virtue of the people o.
this country but when we are compelled to
meet the ignorance and barbarism and stu
pidity and vice of the country, manipulated
by political party in power, then we dc
fear the welfare of the country. It Is then
and then only, that We confess to any srepid
alton it is not because we fear the negro
The negro has no power in this country, and
when you establish your system of govern
| nent in the south, the whole effect of it will
be to make tyrants of yourselves and slaves
| OF everybody else, the negro as well as the
white man"

A Warning to Counting Young Men.

An exchange tells Of law suit brought
BY the father of young lady against q
young man who had been counting his 1.-THE
fathers Lucinda. The suit was broug ht to
recover for use of room, lights, fuel, meals,
ETC., while the young man was counting Lu'
cinda at the house of the plaintiff. The
prosecution showed that the defendant was
at his house from three to five nights per
week; that he usually remained until four
O'Clock in the morning, and oftentimes until
after breakfast. The case attracted much
attention. The decision is one of interest
to all young men who are in the habit Of
"sipping drops from the bewitchirg cup o.
bliss" until four o'clock in the morning, in
asmuch as it allows them to continue sip
ping such nectar without fear of lawsuits
for damages. The justice rendered YER
dict of "no cause of action"

Washington lady, writing to Forney's

Gen. Hancock was ut the Presidents last

vice. No matter about his record in New

sons that brought him to Washington.
Queen Bess, one of the greatest women that
ever lived, would have made him prime min

add glory to his declining reign, none but a
senate lost to the most exquisite emotions

shoulders above foreign ministers, and all
others in the room, ones eyes must be

Just as they are raised to the flaming star
that rests upon the strap of Perseus, proving
him to be one of the greatest generals in the
heavens.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT Mr.. Donnenfelser
met with an accident at Jacob Buffers mill,
on Rock River bottom, last Friday, which
cost him foot. He was taking away a
piece of lumber when his foot was caught by
a rapidly revolving circular saw with such
force as to throw him several feet, and
though the saw only hit the boot without
touching the foot, the bones of the ankle
were so badly broken and smashed that am
putation became necessary. DR.. Wells was
called and performed the operation. Don.
nenfelser was brought into town, and is now
doing well.-Geneseo Republic, 4pra I'd.

Ut course, this plan necessitates the appoint
