Dead Preachers.

If Mr.. Rhodes had consulted us be-
fore he wrote his card, we could have
given him several other instances of
falsehood on the part ofMr Mann. In
P. S. to one of his letters to us, it
will be seen that he says he sent US
postage stamp to pay return of an OBJ
ituary notice, This is false, and be
knows it. In one Of his letters to Mr..
Hood he says that some one sent an ar
ticle to the Standard, and signed his
name An Observer This is false, and
he knows it. That silly production
was sent to the Herald, and he &no,ps it,
because he read both papers that week.
He said at Washington Church on last
Saturday night, that none of the secu-
lar papers advocated the prohibition of
the sale Of liquor. That was false, and
he knows it, He has been taking the
Standard, and he knows that within the
past three months we have urged prohi-
bition Of the sale of liquor in the Viii
lage of Jackson, and we have earnest
ly solicited the Herald to Join us in this
good work. He is telling all over the
county that we called him id fool.
This is false, and he knows it. We
never applied that word to any man,
We did use the slang word "Dam-
phool," not applying it to him in par
ticular. Perhaps that was not right.
We are not generally in the habit of
using slang words, But then reproof
in this matter comes with bad grace
from man who is pregnant with such
words as ."Shoo Fly" "Dead Duck, {"
"Gizzard," cone Horse, Bobtail Edi-
tors" &c.

Random Thoughts.
BY THE EDITOR.

/ have left myself little room TO talk
about politics this week. On Tuesday
l received two letters, one from Iron
ton, and one from the corner of Gallia
county, near Cambria Furnace, both
from gentlemen entitled to respect, and
they both claim that am altogether
wrong when 1 say that Ralph Leete is a
gentleman, and a statesman. If have
done the Republican party injustice by
too favorable an opinion of Mr.. Leete,
| am sorry for it. l may be mistaken
to some extent but not so far, | think,
as these gentlemen claim. | hope the
Ironton Journal, at the home Of Mr.
Leete, will let me know if | am mista-
ken. 1t is all mistake to think that
it tends to defeat a man if you abuse
him soundly, especially when such
abuse is unjust. Papers that call plain,
honest old John T. Wilson fool, a
rogue, a chicken thief, and the like, are
only adding scores Of votes to his ma
jority next month. But more of this
next week
