days for 1869, making 1106 days for
less than two years. work; while the
Republican Legislature of 1870 only
gave him pay for ITO days in 1870 and
about the same for 1871. We might
be permitted to remark here. however,
that Mr. Laymar partialiJy for Dem
Ocratic Legislatures is not surprising,
and of course he is anxious to have
Mr.. Williams defeated and Mr. Smith
elected in his place. You see his pay
would be so much more. But to the
sc-called record itself. Layman in his
letter says: 'sThis bill, it was under
stood, was prepared in the Office of the
State School Commissioner Did
any one ever see a record read like
that? Not much Again he says:
The ODD section was treated on both
sides of the House as providing for
| the education of the colored children
in the white schools" Whoever saw
a record read that way? These are
simply surmises and suppositions of
Layman' nothing else. Again he
says 'sMr Hubbard's amendment pro-
hibiting any distinction ON account of
race or color was declared to be un
necessary" Who by? Nobody but
Mr. Layman ever heard of that. And
so we might go on all through Mr.. Lay
mans letter, and when it comes to be
examined, it viii be found to simply
consist OF his own impressions, sur
mises and suppositions, and those too,
stimulated and colored by his anxiety
to get Democratic Legislature, and
thereby secure a United States Sena-
tor, the re disticting of the State in the
interests of the Democratic parry, and
last, but not least to Layman, secure
his portion as clerk, and get from the
Democratic Legislature very nearly siE
times as much pay as he got from the
Republican Legislature.
Now we think it is about time this
charge against Mr.. Williams is under
stood. Ever since the primary cleo
ton we have been calling upon the
Register for the proof of the charge
1t made one fzzle of an attempt some
weeks ago to give what the editor call
ed the record. That has been so com
plet ely exploded that he abandoned
that, and at last gets this partisan Dem
ocratic letter from Layman, as the las
hope, and that is so ridiculous that il
scarcely deserves to be noticed; bu
we have shown what a poor excuse
it is for the record. Why the Regis
ter and supporters of the false accusa
ton are so careful NOT to give the
record, but TO give, instead, some mis-
cradle subterfuge can only be explained
from the fact that the record prorel
their accusation to be false. 1t won
answer their purpose.
We say now, once for all, to tht
Republicans of Fayette county, suffer
not yourselves to be led astray by
this eEectI01eeIIng tTEcE OF the Demo
Gratis. 1t is nothing on their part but
desperate attempt to secure Dem.
ocratic Legislature, with all its innu-
meraEle ills; give them the U. S. Sen
ator, and tie re-districting of the
State, in the interests of their party.
We understand that the irrepressible
Richard Plantaganet LeweIlyn Baber
is to be imported into this county by
Bro. Gould and Bill Smith, to make
Democratic speeches. Where's Gel

Take in that Rooster! He won't
crow worth a cent. There is no new
departure in him. He's heard the
news from Maine and California.
