Mercer County.

A prominent citizen of Mercer coun'
ty, who was in this city short time
ago, says there are not enough Radicals
there TO make a Jacob party out Of.
The county is almost unanimously
Democratic and the whole vote will be
cast for the State ticket and the Consti-
tuition. The majority will be from 300
to 500.

THE SHERIFFALTY.

In Ohio county great deal OF pop
ulsr interest centres in the Sheriffalty.
The Office is generally supposed to be
far the most lucrative one in the State,
and it is but natural, therefore, that it
should be eagerly sought for. At the
same time, the Office gives to its pos
SCISSOR considerable political influence,
of which each party is anxious to avail
itself. By his constant and close inter
course with the people the Sheriff is
enabled to do a great deal Of what is
popularity styled electioneeriug" and
has always a considerable number Of
votes to a great extent under his con-
troll. 1t is this consideration that
invests the Sheriffalty with political
importance and incites the political
parties to struggle for its possession.
AS regards the personal character Of
the present candidates for the Sheriff
atty of Ohio county, nothing need be
said Both are we'll known and both
deserve and enjoy in q very high degree
The respect and confidence of the people
OF the county. Mr.. Brown has held
The Office two years and. so Tar as We
have heard, his Republican friends urge
As the CHIEF reason for his election at
this time that he was elected for the
term OF four years, but that the adop-
ton OF the new Constitution will deprive
him Of the latter halt of his term 1t is
therefore insisted that he should be
again elected now for full term OF four
wears, and thus secure SIR gears enjoy
ment OF the place. But did the Repub-
Leans think Of this rule when Major
ALoSzo LoRrNG was deprived Of
the Sheriffalty and Mr. SEY-
BOLD, a Republican, elected in his
stead? five are not mistaken, Mr..
Brown himself voted for Mr.. SEYBoLD
al that time Notwithstanding Major
LoRING was a candidate for reelection
and had held the office but a short
lime. There was then no personal OBJ,
lection to Mr.. LoRING. no dispute ss to
his fitness for the place, and the election
turned upon purely political issues.
There is no objection now that Mr..
BRowS has not faithfully discharged
mis- duty, and no man in the county,
whether Republican or Democrat
doubts that Mr.. TISGLE is just as COM
petent and will fll the office just a.
creditably as he. There is therefore nc
good reason why the precedent set by
Republicans in Major LoRINe,s case
should not be followed by Democrats
now.
Mr.. TlNGLE las been one Of the
most active, consistent aud faithful
Democrats in the county. From The
time OF the first organization of the
party here and during all the tim.
when it was dangerous to be known a
Democrat he was out spoken in ad,
vocscy Of Democratic principles. II
party services are to be rewarded Their
is no one more deserving Of such reward
than he. He will make an excellen
officer and there is no danger but ths
he will remsic true to tie party TO
whose success be has labored 90 loni
and 90 we'll. We do not see hou an.
Democrat in the county can discharg'
his whole duty in the coming election
without voting for GroRss r. TNsll
for Sheriff. ...- ..

Governor Jacob was popular In this
county before he turned traitor; and
even at the time he announced himself
a candidate, a good many Democrats
declared their determination to vote for
him; but at the present time you can
scarcely find a Jacob man outside the
Republican ranks. Those who were his
friends, having become satisfied that he
is the candidate Of the Republicans,
have nearly all deserted him. We ex-
pect and inteod to give the Democratic
ticket and the new Constitution a
handsome majority in this county.

greatly aggravated by damp weather, east

The attempt to manufacture political
capital and CRAFTY personal spleen by
investigating the accounts OF the Public
Printer, has failed 10 accomplish itH
purpose. 1t has, however, cost the
State probably ten times the amount o'
the over charge originally alleged.
Two Witnesses were summoned from
this city at cost OF not less than one
hundred dollars each, and the time
wasted by the Legislature in consider
ing the case has cost the State pretty
heavily. The total amount OF the
alleged overcharge was only Sl2".4O
and it has now been satisfactorily shown
that the charges were in accordInct
with the law, and that not even a mole
hill remains OF the mountain which the
prosecutors promised to rear. MIR
Walkers proposition to have the
prosecutor give bond to pay the ex
penses of the investigation should he
fail to make out his ease against the
State Printer, was a judicious one and
would have saved something to the
Treasury. The Investigation wa:
prompted by malice and based upon
ignorance. and it is shame that The
State is compelled to foot the bill.

De HOcus POcus Knocked In dc
Hend.

A lady friend of ours, while engaged
in a conversation on incidents of the
war few evenings since, related to us
the following humorous incident, which
occurred in the neighborhood Of Bow,
mans Mills, in Rockingham county,
Va, she benga resident OF that vicinity
at the time Of the occurrence:
An old negro man by the name Of
Sampson had son named Elias, who
was a shoemaker, and, all the able,
bodied white men having enlisted in
the army, Elias was about the only
Knight OF ST. Crispin for a radius OF
some miles, and was, therefore, the sole
dependence of the nei ghbors.
Now it happened that Captain
Shoup, of the Seventh Virginia Caval-
nv, wanted cook, and must needs take
Elias with him into camp. This was
not only a serious loss to the COM
munity, but was a heavy blow to old
Sampson, who dreaded the idea of his
son being taken where he might
happen to hear the bullets deadly
whistle.
Sampson wanted Elias at home, and
the neighbors wanted him there also,
so Mr. Bowman, the magistrate of the
district, having occasion to visit llar-
risonburg, Sampson determined to
secure his services in an endeavor to
yet Elias off bv civil process. If possible,
and the Squire accepted the commits
sion. While in HarrisOnhurg, Mr.. B.
enauired into the matter and found that
the writ Of ha6cas corpus had been sus-
pended oy the Confederate Government,
and further effort would be useless.
Returning home in the afternoon,
one OF the first objects that met his eve
was the dusky form OF old Sampson,
standing in the road, with an anxious
expression upon his counienance,
waiting to hear the news. Approach
ing Mr.. B., Sampson asked il his
son would be released and allowed TO
return home.
Mr.. B., replied that the writ OF haJeas
corpus had been suspended, and that
nothing could be done in the matter,
which piece of information was received
by Sampson with silent awe.
Shortly after this interview, a neig Oh
Dor met Sampson and inquired:
well, Uncle Sampson, have you
seen Mr.. Bowman
Eyes, Massa."
Then, l suppose Elias will get off p
Sampson, with the most serious ex-
preston of his countenance, replied
mo, bless your soul, chile; de hocus
pocus all done knocked in de head, and
poor Elias won't git home any more
