will be held here, commencing Sent.
26. The Fair Grounds are located
uue mile west of town, ann comprise
so acres; are covered with a beautiful
grove; present a rolling, -undulatfng
appearance, studded here and there
with all the needed buildings, neatly
finished, nicely painted and lettered.
Two or three ncver-failing springs
walled and arched5 send a stream of
water through the grounds: BooRing
over them to-day, I didn't wonder
that they are called the most beauti-
full Fair Grounds in the West. The
exhibition promises to be the largest
and best in every particular that has
ever been given by this, the Garden
Slate of the New World.
By the way, one Of your former
citizens, w. Ii. Swearingeh, Of Faif-
fed township, took The first premi-
um for white corn last year, and paid
500 for the Chester White sow. that
also took the first premium. Mr.. s.
lives one mile north Of this city, on &
beautiful farm; is building one of the
largest barns in this county, and Oth=
erwise prospecting. In behalf Of t1e
"OhiO folks" in this vicinity, 1 hereby
extend a cordial invitation to visit
US during the Fair. DIR. Mcbride,
Messrs. Wright, Hatcher, Greenfield,
johnson, swearingen, Pike and. uncle
John Wilkins, will doubtless all say
come.
After the Fair will write agains
but I cannot close this hurriedly writ
ten letter without expressing my grief
and pain at the course pursued by
Col. LOudon and his friends towards
the nominee Of the Republican Con
gressional Convention, It is simply
outrageous, Granting that Mr.. Smith
was not fairly nohiihated-which [
presume is not true-it i'll becomes
a good Republican, having the inter-
est Of his party at heart, to run an ins
dependent ticket when it is almost
certain to result in the election of a.
Democrat 1t is the worst kind of
desertiOn-nOt only leaves the ranks,
but fries upon his late comrades in
ambush. Giving such aid and COM
fort to the enemy ought to politically
DANA any man, and it will. More

Women at tI,e POIIs-The Elec-
liOn in Wyoming.
Cheyenne, W. T. Sept y Correspondence Of the Bur-
.. lington Qowa) Hawkeys.

There is great rejoicing here
to-day, mingled with "wailing and
gnashing of teeth" Judge W. T.
Jones, the Republican candidate for
delegate to Congress, is elected by a
majority of 100 votes. The Demo
Gratis carried the last election by a
majority of 400 votes.
The ladies very generally availod
themselves of their newIy-acquired
right of franchise. Even the fancy
women here were out to man. !
believe wrote you in last that two
ladies had been put on the Republi-
can ticket-one for County Clerk, and
the other for School Superintendent.
Alas for the degeneracy Of the times
they shared the common fate Of their
associates. There were found men
ungalIant enough to run in opposition
to them, and unchivalrous enough to
accept of the victory over them. 1t
was some consolation, however, to
wounded sensitiveness, to know that
one of the ladies ran a whole length
ahead of the other candidates on her
own ticket, and came within ten votes
of flooring her Democratic competitor
That was Mrs. Picket, candidate for
County Clerk. 1 suppose that, as
the Republicans moved upon the enc.
my, they thought they must keep the
picket in advance.
The ladies, with few exceptions,
were brought to the polls in carriages
and omnibuses, deposited their ballots
and Immediately stepped in again and
were driven home. One incident Of
the day was was worth relating =
The oldest woman-perhaps the old
est persOn----in Cheyenne, so years of
age, went TO the polls and voted her
first ballot. When she alighted from
the buggy, the whole crowd surround
ing the polls, Republicans and Dem
Ocrats, took off their hats while she
marched through and deposited her
vote. When she turned to go away, |
three cheers were called for, and Civ
en- so rOusingly they were heard for
several squares. She'll be likely to
remember her first ballot while she
lives.
The ladies didn't all vote one way,
by any means. Undoubtedly the ma
jority voted the Republican ticket,
but quite sprinkling of them voted
with the Democrats. 1t would seem
a little ungrateful not to have done so. |
Both parties had runners out with
-buggies, from morning till sundown,
gathering up all the ladies and females
that could be found.
OF course we did not expect any
imprOprieties on the part of the ladies'
And it was at least fine illustration
of that respect and reverence which
the mon of America have for females,
that not even a drunken rough was
heard to offer an insult. This may
have been partly owing to the fact
that both parties were cOllrti1lg them.
l might make some comments upon
the manifest tendency of the thing,
however, in this incipiency, that does
not seem promising; but l forbear.

County.
September, 1870.

l. OOPIOuAOOAJ 4OtO
EDITOR NEws:-I thought line
from the ''seat of war" in Clermont,
might not at this time be out of place
or uninteresting in the columns of
the News. L venture therefore a few
uhvarnished facts.
1 see by the "Clermont Sum- the
Democratic organ of this county, that
you have been assailed for making a
correct statement in defense of Mr..
Smith, in relation to certain resolu-
lions passed at a Convention, held in
this county, for the nomination of a
county ticket. These resolutions
were opposed by Hon. r. W. Clarke,
Judges Hewlick and Swing. 1 am
eredibly informed by gentlemen
who were members of the Conven-
tion, that after the nomination Of the
county ticket, Col. Loudon's friends
packed and forced the resolutions
through, when the friends of Mr..
Smith had gone home. By no means
do the resolutions express the Uojce or
the feeling of the Republicans of this
county. And right here l venture
the assertion without fear of success
full contradiction, that Mr.. Smith will
not lose one hundred votes in this
county, while in Brown county-the
home of Col. Loudon, and where he
best known, Mr.: Smith will not lose
another hundred.
The "Sun" names Mr.. Kicker, Capt.
Foster, W. E. Mears, M. S. Dimmitt
and Col. Hotter, and closes by saying,
"and scores of Others" Now the Sun
well knows, when it makes this asser-
ton, that it is false, and we defy
Mr.. Kerr to name as many more in
this county. When he includes Lou
don, he has them all.
The opposition to Mr.. Smith in this
county arises just from few "sore-
heads" like some of the abo7e-Wm.
E. Mears, for illustration. He want
ed to be collector of this District, but
he did not get to be. Now the matter
is very plain to every one why he is
sore.
Mr.. Smith could tell the citizens of
Highland as well as Clermont, why !
these men are working against him,
put be is too much OF a gentleman for
hat. But we will show these ''sore-
leads" on the 11th day of October,
hat Mr.. Smith will come out ahead
)y fUe hundred majority. TON.

can ranks, caused by the controversy
now going on between Col. LoudOr
and his friends and Hon. John A
Smith and his friends, in regard to TIN
validity of Mr.. Smiths nomination
But as both official and private report
indicate that Mr.. Smith was fairI,

principles unbiased by prejudices

Of the Convention, and Col. Loudor

Loudon to possess. But with noble,

ever ready, with open purse and voice

battling for their common rights
such man 1 believe Mr.. Smith to
be.
True, when the endangered Repub-
lie demanded men, to battle with a
foe that was endeavOring to trail her
flag in the dust and trample under
foot her glorious liberties, Col. Loudon,
with those true patriotic motives that
characterized SO many thousands of
her citizens, rushed to the front and
there won for himselfa renown that
must forever demand the respect
and gratitude of his countrymen.-
But if Mr.. Smith was not side by side

rades, was he idle2

Passes at eve away:
Doth not the moons soft ray

Bright things can never die,

Leaves US the light.
Kind words can never die,
Cherished and best;
God knows how deep they lie
Stored in thy breast,
Like childhOod's simple rhymes,
Said DER a thousand times;
Ay, in all years and olimes,
Distant aud near.
Kind words can never die,

Many daisied spring

Far, far away.
Childhood can never die,
Saith my philosophy
Wrecks Of our infancy
Live on for aye.
Sweet fancies never die
They leave behind
Some fairy legacy
Stored in the mind
Some happy thought or dreami
Pure as days earliest beam,
kissing the gentle stream
In the long glade.
Yet, though these things pass by,
Saith my philosophy,
Bright things can never die,
Fen though they fade.
