white men in Fayette County, who
a0iH not vote for Williams for Repre-
sentative, because of his vote to admit
colored children into our schools with

A mere assertion emanating from
doubtful source, without positive
proof, is worthless. When the editor
of the Register brings forward authen-
tic documentary evidence to prove
his statements against Mr.. Williams,
it will be soon enough to believe them
true. Now Mr. Gould, prove your

COLORED CHILDREN IN THE
WHITE SCHOOLS.
A FALSE REPORT EARLY IN THE
FIELD.

We have noticed in the Register. the
democratic paper of this place, a state
ment that has been several times re-
peated to tho effect that Hon. M. j.
Williams voted in the last Legislature
in which he VIZ member-in favor
of sending the colored children to the
white schools. The editor of the Reg
lister does not inform its readers of
whom or where he got his informa-
ton on the subject. Certainly he did
not get it from the "Journal of the
House., for that does not show any
such vote cast by Mr.. Williams What
the Journal does show, is this: Bfr
Cockerell, the democratic Representa-
tive from Adams county, proposed to
amend the school law so as to entire
| ly deprive all the coZored youth Of the
State Of any portion Of the common
school funds, and deny them any part
in our Common School System. And
this proposition Mr. Williams, as well
as every other Republican meuabars of
the House of representatives voted
against. And they clearly did right
Strange to say, such stumbling block
has the "nigger' always been to the
Democracy that every Democratic
Representative voted fer Mr.. Cocker
ellis proposition. We suppose it is be-
cause Mr. Williams refused to vote
with the Democracy on this question.
and was unwilling to permit the color
ed youth of the State to be excluded
| from the benefits of the school funds,
and Common School education, that the
Register has originated the charge re
tered to. With little investigation or
inquiry its falsity could easily have
been ascertained.
We are aware that the Editor of that
paper is personal enemy of Mr.. Will
liams, and grabs eagerly at every thing
which can, by possibility, be distorted
into anything that would injure
him personally or politically, and
does net hesitate to set afoat all
sorts of rumors against him. Yet the
commonest honesty and simplest re
gard for truth demands that the Regis
ter should either retract such false
hood or give his author.
1t remains to be seen whether he has
honor enough to do either.
Mr.. Williams is not now and never
has been in favor of mixing up the
white and colored children in the same
school, and never gave vote in favor
of such a measure, as the journal
shows. 1t is easy for a personal and
political enemy especially an unscrupu-
lous one, to putin circulation any mum
Der of false reports for electioneerine
purposes but we need not caution in
telligent Republicans against believing
them without some satisfactory proof
Let every Republican whenever h
hears of this falsehood, mail tt
To the intelligent portion of our cit
izens who have given the proceed
ings of the last Legislature careful at
tention, this explanation is unnecessa
: ry. We have watched Mr. Williams
course as Representative of this count,
closely, and with much satisfaction

to his constituents. lie is gentle
man of Acknowledged talent. A Co
lumbus correspondent of the Cincin-

Mr.. Williams was candidate for re

Williams exhibited much ability in tie

CO c d,d to be one Of the very best

election will show.
Our candidates are competent and
popular with the people of the county,
and they are so we'll and favorably
known that it is unnecessary for us &c
say a single word in their commenda

Nj. j. WILLIAMS.

Gould, of the Register, this week re
peats with great flourish, his somewhat
stale he, that NJ j. Williams voted in
the last Legislature to mix the white
and colored children in the public
schools. He has never produced any
evidence for his false assertion, but
seems to think that lie boldly uttered
is all that Democrats desire. Reason
able, thinking men generally, when
chargeis made against another, inquire
for the proof. Honest, decent men
nerer make charges of this sort without
giving the authority upon which they
are made, and the evidence to sustain
them. But Gould has never offered
any proof or authority for his base and
absurd lie on Mr. Williams.
Another bare faced falsebood in this
weeks Register, is that which asserts
that bill to mix up the races in the
schools only failed to pass the LegIsi1=
ture by two votes. Now Gould, il
you don't know any more than that,
or can't come any nearer the truth, you
had better stop. The only PROPOSE
ton for mixing the children in schools
that was introduced in the last Legis
lature was introduced by VIM. Hub
bard Of Cuyahoga county, and instead
of only lacking two votes to make i
a law, it in fact only recetved tire,
Cotes.
Mr.. Williams voted AGAINST it.
We speak lom the record.
1t ought to be and no doubt is
source of pride to the Republicans o
Fayette county, that Mr.. Williams
official action as their Representativ
. has been so singuarly free from fault
or mistakes, that his political enc

The LORD, THE LADY, AND THE MISTER
IOUs TELEGRAM.-The London Court Cir
cular relates the following annecdote re-
speeding noble lady:
During the Army Bill debate her no
bic husband, who is as proud and fond
Of her as he should be, was just about to
rise and deliver a violent attack upon
something or somebody, when a gram
was put into his hands. He read it,
turned pale and quilted the House, cali
ed cab, drove to the Charing Cross sta
ton and went to Dover, and was no
more heard of until the next day, when
he returned to his own home, aud to his
first inquiry was told ;'s ne Countess
was in her own room. lie FASTENED to
her, and terrific row ensUed ,he exact
words of which no one kno Is bu, the.
selves. At last however, he burst oul,
"Then, what did You mean by your tele-
graph?"
"Mean What said of course. What
are you talking about?"
"Read it for yourself" returned the
still unappcased husband.
She did read al flee with Mr.
to Dover straight. Pray for me-"
For a moment she was startled, but
then burst ont laughing.
Most dreadful telegraph people. No
wonder you are out of your mind. lie
graphed simply, Il tea with Mrs.-in
Dover street. Stay for me-"
His Lordship was SO savage at the
laugh he had raised against himself that
he was at first inclined to..make Parlia-
mentary question of it, but listening 20
more judicious advice, refrained.
