The Republican Candidate for County
Treasurer.

Somebody who signs himself
",Sundpee" bores the readers of the
Democrat with column and half
article pretending to show that Mr..
Mccartney, the republican nominee
for Treasurer, is undeservlng of the
trust for which he has been chosen.
The affairs Of the deceased father
several brothers aud sisters and
brothers.in-law, are overhauled to
to make it appear that he is not the
proper man to have charge of the
public treasury. The people are
very little Interested in family dis
putes, and few will be patient enough
to read through the silly pretensc OF
charges by "Sunapee" against the
well known character, honesty and
ability Of the republican nominee for
County Treasurer. The republicans
of his district were satisfied of these
essentials when they nomin-
ated and elected him for the legisla-
ture in 1868, and, although the
matters referred to by ",Smapee''
have been talked over in almost ev-
cry household in his district, there
was no disposition among them at
the late county convention to reverse
the decion. The author of the article
who thinks he hides his face under
the covering of ".SRaPee" might well
be proud of the record of our wor.
thy friend. Mr.. Mccartney has al
lodyS been republican he battled
for his country and in its service
made personal sacrifice which the
people are pledged to and will re.
member. Can ",SanGpee" say as
much? On the whole the article il
cowardly attack--a stab in the
dark by an unseen hand-which, il
properly authorized would doubtless
receive attention from the party in
tended to be demolished

nA Desnerate efforts a.

fGA- desperate efforts are made IN
Salt Lake City to keep up the wan
ing faith in Mormonism. The lead
ers, who find their power slipping
away from them, have brought on
from Ohio one Martin Harris, an old
man of lightweight years, who pro-
fesses to have been witness when
Joe Smith received the Book Of Nor
mon, "to have seen the angel and to
have handled the golden plates. -
The Salt Lake NeUS is iubilant over
the arrival of this octogenarian wit
ness, who has seen Git says chat
which 'few in the flesh are favored
to behold" and whose testimony in
favor of the Book of Mormon cit is
utterly impossible to Destroy" 1t is
q noteworthy fact that for the most
of his life this witness has kept aloof
from the Mormons altogether it is
only when he is nearly ninety years
old that his faith in the Church is so
suddenly quickened.

Your correspondent telegraphs from
Betanfay, near Metz, on the 18th, as
follows: A French descrter from
Metz, brought in this morning, re-
ports that there is neither bread nor
salt in the city. Bazaine has i'm
pressed into the ranks all able bodied
civilians, and has 100000 men under
arms. The service is very hard, the
troops being obliged to sleep on their
arms. The disaffection is great, and
mutiny seems to be impending. On
the 9TH portion of the troops refus-
ed to make a sortie, and it is difficult
to force them to outpost duty. Even
the Guards show symptoms of DISC
bedience. Much sickness is prevail
ing, chiefly dysentery, bronchitis and
scurvy.

Bismarck caused an intimation to be
conveyed to London, st. Petersburg,
and Vienna that intervention to Sc
cure peace would be acceptable now
to Prussia. The conclusion was
reached by council of war yester-
day that Paris cannot be successfully
attacked, but must be reduced by
siege Of many month duration. The
advance of the French Army of Ly-
ons on Metz has been resumed and
rumors are current that the siege of
that city has been raised.
The appeal Of Bismarck has been
met by Russia with a communication
through Prince OrlofP for mediation
by Congress of great Powers at
Brussels.
The Worlds London special states
that Bismarck has received represen-
tatiOns from many quarters of Ger
many that the people are anxious for
peace. Bismarck has authorized the
Prussian Minister at Brussels to give
the great Powers to understand that
Germany is willing to propose q set
Element on the basis of disarmament
of the frontier provinces, the recti-
fication of the frontier line, and a
small money Naturalization.

\ SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE CANDI-
DATE.-The Hon. Charles Burchard
Of Beaver Dam, recently nominated
for Congress by the temperance men
of the Fourth District, has declined
to run. Mr.. Bnrehard is not a mere
professor" in the cause, but its con-
sistent, earnest friend. He is not 80
supremacy selfish as to make a hobby
horse OF the temperance movement,
and to ride its life out in trying to
ride to power or it's back. He is q
practical, scnsible man, and knows
that should he remain candidate, il
would result in,iriury TO the cause OF
temperance and aid the Democratic
party. He asks all his friends to
support Col. j. a. Watrous, the Re-
publican candidate for Congress-
He is sensible. Not that Colonel
Watrous will be able to secure any
Congressional action on the subject
Of temperance. That is matter left
solely to the State Legislatures. But,
if elected, the district will have a
representative always in his right
mind and attentive 10 his duties. Mr..
Burchard's declination will receive
the approval of the sincere and ju-
dicious friends of temperance
throughout the State.-.Stdte Journal.
