There is man in Marshall county
who's. communication appeared in
the Democrat of last week, who writes
as pompously as if he thepght him
self the Tycoon of the county. :, He
has no just claim to this title=--the
REPUBLICAN always had reference to
a gentleman Of vastly greater capaci
ty. and of mnch less vanity than the
county official" who offers $500 in
rewards. Hear HIM aT l4.-
"It having come to my knowledge
that certain Republican candidates,
+, for partizan purposes. are, eircula
ting the report around the, county
that the treasury of Marshall. county
is short several thousand dollars -

Whether the charge has been cir
culated or not, we undertake to say
that it is LITERALLY True, The treas
ury'' Of the county is short by ex,
actly the sum the '.com ~ officials
have loaned without tie authority
of law, to favorites, at a low rate Of
int crest, If not more.
Cpshman. knows that the records
Of the county have been keptaby the
county officials, "..and that al. allow
ances except a few by the Judge, were
made by said officials, OF course ev-
erything has been accounted for, but
howS The price paid the Poor House
doctor for his visits is more than
double that competent physician
offered to make the visits for. Yet
the doctor was entitled to the great
er sum because the county officials"
agreed to so pay him. This is fair
sample Of what the ''Uounty officials
were '.justly entitled to. = D. -
Cushman knows he cannot get such
gentlemen as Judges Frazier, Osborn
and Stanfield to act as his commit
tee in any such nOnsensical business
Why didn't he propose to submit the
matter to the Sultan of Turkey, the
Gar Of Russia and the Emperor OF
France? These gentlemen would
make an excellent committee to solve
q problem in which q man who sup
poses himself a Tycoon, is interest
ed. The unauthorized use of the
names of Judges F., 0. and S. must
certainly be refreshing to them. !
Weare are authorized by a gen
tleman whose name we will mention
at the proper time, to offer $4,000 TO
Cushman or any of his bretheren, af-
ter the Judges named consent to act
as his committee, il he will prove by
the same committee, the following
propositions untrue: ~ f''
