Democracy and iae o-Hrussian
Vara


During the late war between France
and Germany the Chicago Times ea"
pouscd the side Of the former in such a
bitter and vindictive way as to drive
over to the RepubIican party every Ger
man Democrat in the State Of Illinois.
4 sample Of the spirit which it displayed
before the surrender of the Emperor, is
shown in the following extract from one
Of It's lending editorials.
The party which sympothizes with
France is the party of Washington,
Jefferson, Wright and Douglas The
party which sympathizes with Prussia is
Che party Of the rail splitting Lincoln,
the horse thief Brown, the beast Butler,
the renegade Logan, the pedantlc SUM

Nve and Chandler The riI>ral, the
p,uce>huntors, and the demagogues, and
yotc,seekers OF this country, are they,
aud only they who Sympalhize with
PRUSSIA.
As soon, however, as the French ar
mics we're oycrpowered, through the
stupidity and blindness Of the Emperor,
who had rushed into war withouta cause,
and what in the view of the French na-
ton, is even worse, without preparation,
the Times begins to excuse Napoleon, and
east blame upon the French people, In
it's issue of September 4 it says:

TENT is no more than retribution The

HoMIcIoE.-On Satur day night last, st..after
dark, Mr.. Joseph Black, Of Keezletown, Rock
ingham, was severely stabbed by Geo. W. Smi-
ley. of Mt. Crawford, Rockingham, in the house
of Mr.. John W. Bush, of this place, resulting
in his DEATH
Smiley and Black were bricklayers and had
been work. ng together for some time past in
the employ of Mr.. VIM. Jordan; were both board
ing at the house of Mr. Bush Mr.. Smiley's BROTH
er-in-law, and had been noted as being very in
innate and warm friends.
Mayor N. K. Trout had jury of inquest sum-
moned Immediately, consisting of Messrs. John
3. Scherer, S. H. Lushbaugh, F. NJ. Young, Jos.
F. Tannehill, NJ P. Funkhouser, G.. G. Bunch,
Geo. A. Smith, Y. NJ. Bickle, H. Ker, VIM. L.
Balthis, Jno. B. Hoge and NJ. Doom, who pro-
ceeded at once to hold an inquest over the body
of Mr.. Black, and after thorough examination,
made by Dr. Hanger, and a hearing of the case
before the Mayor, the jury rendered verdict
t'that the said Joseph Black came to his death
from wounds inflicted with knife by one Geo.
W. Smiley, and thai said Geo. W. Smiley felon-
iously and unlawfully murdered the said Joseph
Black"
There was no cause shown for the killing by
the evidence before the jury of inquest, but, on
the contrary, it was asser ted that they were boz
SOM friends, and had eaten supper together in
the most kind and friendly manner, but q short
time before the killing. That after supper, Smi-
ley left the house for short time and again re-
en- tered the house by the front door and went at
once to the bureau in the front room, and, TAX
ing large carving knife from the drawer, pro-
ceeded to the dining room, where Black was in
conversation with Mrs. Bush, and ordered Black
out of the house. Black seemed at first disin
clined to 60, but finally said he would, and start
ed, when Smiley commenced the attack upon
him, and stabbed him severely above the Iefthip
bone, and again few inches above and to the
left in the bowels, and cutting him severely across
the left temple, from the eye to the ear, severng
the artery, and inficting several other slight
wounds on his body and a severe cut on the
rig ht hand, supposed to have been received in
warding off the cuts of Smiley. Black seized
chair in the room between the dining room and
front room and threw it at Smiley, who then left
the house by the front door, Black going out Of
the back door, into the yard, where he fell, but
few steps from the door, and died in few min
u ties thereafter.
Smiley made his escape, and though the Off
GERS and posse started at once in pursuit nothing
has been heard of him up to this time.
Mayor Trout has offered a regard Of $l00 for
his arrest, and larger reward will probably be
offered by the State.
II is hard to conceive of man killing bo-
som friend without some cause, and it is gener-
ally believed in this community that he had a
cause, but it is not proper to men ton the gen
eral surmise prior to an arrest and trial, when
the whole truth will probably be elected.

In tn e following certificate of the Commission

In tn e following certificate of the Commission
ers to the votes cast at the late election,
the reasons are given for throwing out the votes
ct SO many of our precincts This should be
warning for the future. Inattention to the re-
quirements of law may change the entire senti-
ment of the county. 1t happens that it does not
effect the election of any candidate this time.
but we should take care that the like never oc-
again
''We, the undersigned Commissioners appoint
ed by the Judge of the County Court of Augusta
County, under section 40 of the Election Law,
approved May 18th 1870, proceeded at the Clerks
Office of the County Court of said County, on
Thurrday, the 10th day of November 1870, to
perform duty as such Commissioners, in can
Sassing and certifying the general result of the
election held on Tuesday last, 9Th inst. For Con-
gresham at Large, Congressman of the 9Th Dis
trict of Virginia, and for County and Town ship
officers. That in making such examination, and
certifying the result of said election, we threw
out the Poll Hooks at Centreville, Parnassus and
Sangersville, in North River Township, in said
County, upon the ground, for the want of certif-
icates as provided in section II, of the general
election law, the judges of election having failed
to sign their names to such certificates; the Poll
B took for Folly Mills, in Beverly Manor Town
ship, Verona, in Middle River Township, Mid
soay, Hiddlebrook, Near Port and GreenpizA, in
Riverheads Township, Sherando and Barter5rook,
in South River Township, Buffalo Gap, Deerfezd,
Craigs0she and Lebanon Springs, in Pastures
township, were thrown out on the same ground.
The Poll Book at Hebron Church, upon the same
ground, and for the further reason that it does
not appear that the Judges and Clerk, at said
precinct had ever been sworn such officers
The Poll Book at Peaco's Mill in Beverly Manor
was also thrown out upon the ground of nfor-
mality IN the certificate required by said Sec. 81,
and for the further reason that the certificate of
the number of Electors showed there were TWEEN
ty-hve votes cast when in fact there were thirty
seven votes cast. The Poll Book at Churchville
in Pastures Township was not taken into count
with the general result, because Of its having
been taken from the Clerks Office of the Court
to which it was returned before the meeting of
the Commissioners. Foe reasons above stated the
vote at the several places of voting named in
this certificate was not taken into consideration,
believing, as they do, that the law will not JUS
tify them in so doing.
Given under our hands this 10th day of No
yember 1870.

Who took the Premium at the Augusta Coun-
y Fair 2 Singer? No Howe? No Florence?
No Empire? No Who then? Wheeler Il Will
son. One of The Staunton Agents told young
ady that had the Wheeler & Wilson that it
would not sew in wet weather. Wonder if he
did not find out that it would sew in damp
weather on the last day of the Fair. What a
funney 'phe11ow'' that Agent is. But now to
the point; the Wheeler & Wilson is the only sew
ing machine that can or did stand the test before
impartial judges, those judges were Messrs. Funk
houser, Lushbaugh Lipscomb, Smith, Butcher,
Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs Coiner.
What machine did Fell IL Hem bias canton

fore take it for granted that they could not do
it.
Now let the other machines stand back and let
the only Perfect Family Sewing machine have
