relief when they learned the Clipper would
not appear for few weeks, and fondly
hoped 1t vas, as many said, dead. Many

men of this Congressional district, who
have reputation not much better than
his Satanic Majesty.
Judge Underhin would like to 90 to

Probate Judges Office, and we hope the
people at the next election will show their
wisdom by yeIecting him tothat position for

to Congress. Wesare not certain what the
people would say about it, but there. are
some grave suspicious that, IN some way
or other, he IS mixed up with the ring bad
enough to swamp him. His present posi-
ton IS good enough, and we think he had
better not allow ambition to over-leap

Wales Wsuld not object to the nomlna-
tion, but Doc Lamborn is after him now
in the contest for State Senator, and when
the Doctor gets through with him, we think
there will be mighty little wind left in
him, and it is not likely he would try
q similar experiment on the congressional
track in 1872.
He'll, for more than thousand years,
has been filing up with just such infamous
scoundrels as we refer to, and may this
right arm drop from its socket and this
tongue clsave to the roof of this mouth
before we yield an inch TO this horde Of
villains and scoundrels who now live and
riot in the spoils Of this District.
