We are satisfied from Information re.
ceived since the last issue of the CHRoN-
ICLE, that injustice was done inadves,i-
entity to young lawer of this place in
the CHRONICLE oflast week, in notice
of a charge ia the Gdzetje that Mr..
Danford had expressed himself in favor
of limited monaIey. 1t seems that
what was said was in the course Of a
fire-side conversation with some young
men who were about to scdss in a de-
batting society, a question as TO which
was the better or stronger government,
aud that Arguments and auShoritities
were being talked of, and that Mr.. Dan
ford's suggestiors under those circum-
stances we're remembered and alluded
to since he was nominated for Congress,
in casual conversation, without any
thought of it being published or seri-
ously used against him. An over
jealous Democrat, ofthe pa ty which
Poornan used to charge with being
aoonae,a-aohippers, seized tire maysef and
it was finally msnufa ctuled with a
grave charge in the grave Gczete tnat
Danford was monarchiss. An efort
was made to procure a certificate"
from the young man to be used against
Daufo d, which he refused 20 give. We
publish this explanation not thai we
deem it necessary for Mr.. Danfoid's
vindication, but simply to do jultice.to
the young lawyer referred to.

RAILROAD AGAIN.-A petition is
now in circulation, to the trustees Of
Richland Township, praying for an
election under the BoeseI law, 20 vote
a tax for the purpose of building road
from 81. ClairsviIle to Neffs Siding.
One hundred names are required when
the petition viii be offered and the
election ordered. Upon a careful ex-
animation of the project we have great
confidence in its success. The taxable
property of the township is about
100000. The estimatedscost of the
Road is $4,000, which diyided into
bonds running through several years
will render the necessary tax merely
nominal, not over two mills on the dol
lar. The increase of the value Of prop
erty in the township consequent
thereon will be from one to twenty-five
per cent. more than the real cost Of the
Road. AS soon as the election is order-
ed fuller statements viii be given.

DEAD DoGs.-On last Thursday quite
a stir was made among the dog fanciers
of our town, by report that the death
angel had passed through. Owing to
an early discovery of the poisored
bologna Only about half dozen ours
passed in their checks. We do not so
much object to the motives as to the
injudicious means employed. Little
children playing upon the streets might
have suffered ftom such indiscretion.
"Old Major" SO long identified with
the Interests OF the place was among
the victims and received an honorable
burial at the hands of hismany friends.

BELLA1RE. August q. W.

Itappears that / was mistaken in at
tributing to Col. Poorman the account
of the Danford meeting, he tells me he
did not write it, and as / do not wish
to add one sin to his already, enormous
load politically, l mean,) l am happy
10 say that am glad he did not write
it as it was foolishly untruthful who
did write il, it is not necessary even TO
INQUIRE as it has had more attention
than it deserves already.
One of the meaneSt features of the
political canvass upon the Liberal side
is their persistent and untruthful per-
sonal attacks upon our candidate. The
story of Captain Danford expressing
himself in favor of monarchy and his
contempt of greasy mechanics is SIM
ply twaddle, and is not believed by
any one above the level Of an idiot:
such stories always recoil upon their
authors. / conceive that the dignity
of the mechanic and laborer is insulted
uy any such representations, and I
know that that class here will vjndicate
Mr.. Danford, and give him round
majority next Fall; all we ask is fair
play, and a fearless discussion of princi-
pie, feeling that personalities in a polit-
ical canvass have become simply hate
full to the people. As a man and a
neighbor Col. Poorman stands high
among us, and it would i'll become him
to give any countenance to aspersio1s
on Cap. Danford, knowing as he does
that the Captain is the especial favorite
of our township; many of his school
fellows living here; and all of Us know
ing him ss well az the Col. or anv of his
adherents do. All of the pretended
sympathy Of the Liberals and Demo

from Steubenville, spoke to a large au.
dience on the political situation. 1 did
not hear him, but judging by remark;
upon the street, his speech was we'll re-
