What would be fair price for Is or
20 printed slips of an election notice al
ready in type in the office? Just what
it would be worth to strike them off and
the paper, on switch they are printed a:
provided they have to be printed. No
more and no less which at most would be
mere trife Generally there are waste
papers enough in this Office to furnish 10
or 20 electionior any other notice in good
condition And we are Informed that it
has always been the practice of the TEL
EGRAPH OFFICE to furnish such notices
without charge. Such was the case when
the man-if it be lawful to call him a
man-who is now Sheriff of this county,
was Sheriff. Of this county some, years
ag But he was not then satisfied with
receiving The printed slips f,r nothing, as
We are informed by the then proprietors
OF the TELEGRAPH and took his official
Iprfnting from the TELEGRAPH which
supported his election and gave it to the
times which opposed his election. For
the truthof this we refer our readers to
u.s., s. Schof, and S. c.. Vinegar, former
.propfietors of the TELEGRAPH. '.i Then
the cause hefassigncd, was that Butts, Of
the Times, was owing him. Now the cause
assigned is the possibility that there
might be a charge made for the slips, and
that he would not get something for no
thing. The public will judge what the
real reason is
s. Again, :" Sheriff" says GAS the Editor
sayA:E methim soon after the, notice was
published, and in the, presence Of two
gentlemen he went at me with his hat off,
(and lido not ren1enabcrtb out thatfh6 Ehad
his sleeves rolled up eudeavoFing to con
vince ME that Twas, III duty bound to
give him that notices to- ppblish,"'e . We
met the "Sheriff" in the office Of Mark
Dire ser, ESD and .ptobablg, as9is our Gus
tom when we sit down-ip the pffice of q
,gtntleman,- took our hat off, whil6{ the
sheriff may, have Il been unInanHerly
.epoqghsto sit With his on Sheriff "
meant to, lie when he said he did not re-
member but that we had our sleeves roll
led, up. Sheriff says he showed rs the
figures as above, asking us If he was not
correct, and that WE then and there aclF
knowledged that he was. This is all false.
He did not show us any figures, did not
ask any questions about any, nor did we
make any Acknowledgements about. his
being right. Sheriff admits that he
and there agree, or assent4as he
eXpresses,it, thereafter to do ihis business
with our office aud with lis instead Of the
Foreman; and by his .sl1enceradmits that
thereafter he never had any conversation
With Us. on the subject, He denies
that he said that he was poor
we aver that the Sheriff didsayhe was
poor, and that the Doctor was rich, and
I'VE disputed both the. premises Sand
weEappeal to those were present for the
truth of what we Wys e Sheriff denies
saying that by giving ibis official prin-
ting to the Unao1t he lhassaved the couns
ty one Hundred dollars p" and says Nor
do believe that zee were ever SO inform

InadS such Statement, and that he has we

2 .Aseto theconciusion Of Sheriffs- com
,mdnication we need say, but very little
His notice and commendation to Gle edi-
ter of the, TELEG APH, and remarks In re-
lation to AiInphdence, i'm becility,s penuri-
business and brains come from him with i'll
grace. A man, holding the office of
Sheriff, would have subscribed his name
to his communication for publication.
Whether - Sheriff is the Sheriff of the
County, theeditor o f the Union, or--eyery
zone may Judge for himself The editor
of the TELEGRAPH will not be likely to
I give much heed to the notice and com
mendation of"Sherif.." We have number
of communications from some of the. peo-
ple III fcIdI1on 10 tne o1nE4al dCtlon OF tIles
Sheriff and may concludeto give some of.
them to the readers Of the TELEGRAPH.
We do not think I'VE shall be deferred
from the faithful discharge of editorial
duties by any notice, commentator or
threats, coming from :" Sheriff" or even
from the chief executive officer of the
county. The people make Sheriffs as well
Governors: and sometimes the people
unmake them
