EAVOkAsAAAACs
! Ehere is much talk relative to the recent
election, which, it is said, will be contested
bf Rich, the defeated candidate for jailor OF
Montgomery county. The grounds for con-
testing the election are that when the
County Judge notified the coroner, as is re-
nuired when by reason Of beihg candidate
/ the sheriff is incompetent to bold the cleo
ton, The said coroner, while be did not
formally refRse, sent word to his Honor 70
appoint some ons else. 1t was the genera
understanding that the coroner was can
didate for sheriff, and hence his unwilling
ness 10 hold the election. The Judge acted
in conformity with the coroner's request TO
appoint some one else, and this gives the
dark color of fraud or Illegally to the cleo
ton. / think this very slim joke on the
election, and one that scarcely win give
consolation to the sstrlly tolp' Radica s.
The plaintiff 8 attorneys claim that the le-
gality of the entire election is effected by
this issue, and that an injunction will be
readily granted. When they take a second
view of the matter they will doubtless view
it Otherwise. Richie, however, is encour-
aged to the contest by several Democrats;
not Democrats, but men who, going under
this respectable party gaIb, have even rOted
for a dark Radical in order to satiate per
sonal malice. Such men raised in Mont
gomery county dessrUe negro equality, and
merit no respect from decent people. 1t is
an infamous species of miserable prejudice
which tells its victim is being of moral de-
prayity.
APPREHENDED.
Jno. Marcum who recently assaulted
Young girl near ClarksVille with horrible
intent has been arrested and jailed at Hop
kiusville, Ky. Marcum assaulted the little
girl and would have accomplished his pur-
pose had is not been for her mother who
rushing n her child's rescue was violently
beaten and also came near sharing tie same
horrid outrage intended for her daugh er.
Stricken by conscientious guilt Marcum fed
and went to Hopkinsville, where he was
arrested and jailed to await delivery to the
proper officers upon requisitiOn which has
been made By Gov. Brown Of this State
upon Gov. Leslie of Kentucky.
GRAPES
are being cultivated ex ensively in Mont
gomery county, and the importance of this
fruit is becoming great and commaodiIg
atteation. The culture of grapes is one OF
the few good results of the late vi pleasant
less. n F. Hood, living in the sububs OF
GAINESVILLE, has an extensive vineyard, en-
bracing many excellent varieties of this
fruit. He is shipping Eve hundred pounds
! of grapes daily, and mostly to Northe n
cities. Josh. Rice also raises a superior
kind of grape, and as the name is not Con-
| cord he thinks perhaps that OF discord sp-
propriate. However this may be, will not
argue. More pleasant is it for me TO return
thanks for jar of
