Not Confirmed.

The appointment Of j. A. Lockhart as
Clerk of Crawford county, made some
months ago, was rejected by the Senate
II few days ago, on the recommendation
of the Senator from this District, Of
which Crawford County forms part
By singular mistake, however, which
was not discovered till the next day, the
vote was reported enormously; the Sen
ator from this District, for instance, hav-
ing been marked down as voting for
Lockharts confirmation, which was GER
tainly not the case, from the fact that he
could hot reconcile it with his ideas of
propriety, that the people OF a County
like Crawford, containing so many bona
fide citizens, Republicans as well as Demo
crats, able to iii this important Office
should have saddled upon them an indi
vidual, having not the slightest interest
in Crawford county and who, while his
confirmation was pending, had in his
pocket an appointment for Justice of the
Peace Tor another County.-New Era.
This is matter in which the prefer
ence Of the people are not consulted at
all Neither Of the gentlemen who are
contending for the Office have any claim
upon it, aud it matters but little to US
who does get it.

it is not far distant when the expressed

less He answered all three questions in

With the testimony of the detective
