For the Fayette County Herald
To the Republicans of Fayette
County.

It has been industriouslly circulated
by certain parties in Fayette County,
that the Republicans of Clinton and
Greene Counties were dissatisfied
with the nomina ton of Col. S. N.
Yeoman, as the Republican candidate
for Senator of this district. It would
be miracle if any man who might have
been nominated, would not have found
somebody who was opposed to him,
and desired to see him defeated. Col.
Yeoman's position in this respect, is
not singular from others who have
from time to time, been brought be-
fore the public for official place. He
is .monstrously in the way of some
other gentlemen, who have higher
appreciation of their own merits OF
claims upon the public for Office than
the public have.
What is good policy in other coun
ties in conducting the election cam
paign, would be good policy in this
county. In relation to the policy
that should be pursued by the Repub
licans of this County, fud the fol
lowing editorial article in last week
Wilmington Journal, which I will asl
you to publish in the Herald, ant
commend the article to the considera
ton of the Republicans of Fayett
County. 1 think it is applicable t
Fayette and Greene, as well as to Clin
ton, for the same mischevious eIe
ments are at work in these counties t.
distroy the good old Republican pal
ty, that are described in the Journal
article. A TRUE REPUBLICAN.

We find the following very bri,

paragraph in last weeks Register:
"Jesse Hagler informs US that he
had no such conversation with Gov
ernor Noyes. at the State Fair, as re-
ported"
So far, at least, as the Register is
concerned, that paper was willing to
make the statement, that Jesse Hag
Ter was going to vote for Allen, the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
The editors were willing to misrepre
sent Mr.. HIS intentions, with the
hope of gaining little artificial cap
ital for Farmer Allen" and for the
Democratic ticket. We published the
article alluded to from the Register,
supposing that the editors had made
the publication they did by authority;
this, we are more pleased than the
democracy of the county will be, to
learn is wholly untrue, and the respon-
sibiljty must be shonldered by our
gushing neighbors Of the Register,

ping oUerypoW and then.

In last weeks Herald we published
an article which we copied from the
Register, in which the editors said
that in a conversation with Governor
Moves at the State Fair, Mr.. Jesse
Hagler, now candidate for Senator of
this district, said to the Governor,
''that, although he had formerly voted
the Republican ticket, he should this
fall vote for VIM. Allen. He wasn't
noisey enough for Noyes."
We are glad to have it in our pow
er to authoratatively correct false
impression that has thus been thrown
out in relation to Mr.. Hagler Thar
gentleman called upon US couple O
days since and authorized us to say
in justification of his position, that al
though he, with others, had friendly
and social conversation with Govern
or Noyes, at the State Fair, no sucl
conversation as reported by the Reg
lister, and republished in the Heral'
last week, occurred. He did not tel
the Governor that he should vote 70
William Allen this fall, aud such
not now, nor has it ever been, his in
tention to do so. He is, as he has al
ways been, true Republican.
1t would be well enough for ou
neighoors to be little cautious abou
misrepresenting Republicans in til
future.

- 1t would seem unnecessary for
us again to remind the. Republicans of
Fayette county of the importance of
going to the rolls and depositing their
votes for the Republican ticket. We
have heretofore alluded to the fact that
the members elected to the next Leg
islature will have to elect U. S. Sen
ator in the place of Mr.. Thurman,
whose term will expire on the 4th of
March next. We lake it for granted
that no Republican wants to see Mr.,
Thurman returned. He has already
misrepresented our State in the Sen
ate long enough, and if we wish to
have men in Congress who will repre-
sent the wishes and true principles OF
the Republican psrty, We must elect
Republicans to our State Legislature,
whose duty it will be to choose the U.
s. senator.
Then let us urge upon every Repub-
Iican to be at the polls on the 14th o
October and cast his vote for the Re
publican ticket. Ii we will but lay
aside little differences and dislikes anc
pull OF our coats and rally to the sup
port OF our ticket, we can elect it anC
then if We have any family troubles tC
settle, " e will have a little more lei
sure to attend to it, but first let vi
vote the Republican ticket, and so Sc
cure so far as we can, the election of Q
Republican u S. Senators

There is no use denying the fact
that both the Republicans and Demo
Gratis in Congress are responsible for
the salary grab-one party as much as
the other-for the bill could not have
been passed by either party if the 9th
er had not voted for it. 1t is true, that
a majority of the Democrats in Con
gress voted for the grab, and a major
ity Of the Republicans voted against
it; but the President, who is Repub
lican, after the two parties had passed
the bill, signed it; therefore, the Dem
ocrats try to throw the whole respOn
sibility of the grab upon the Republi-
cans, for the act Of single member OF
the party. This, in our view, was a
great mistake on the part of President
Grant. Had he vetoed this bill, it
would have been the crowning laurel
of his life, for he would have been eu-
logized for it by the people of the
United States and sustained by the
majority Of his own party in Congress;
who voted against the grab Now, i
the Republicans, as a party, approved
ofthis measure, and upheld their mem
bers of Congress who voted for it, il
their acts, then the Republican part.
would be shouldering the responsible
ity, and would justly be censurable a
parties to the fraud. But this is no
the case; the Republicans disapprov
of the act, and have in all their Legs
latures and in their State convention:
denounced it and asked Congress
repeal the salary bill and yet, tn
Democrats persist in their efforts t,
throw all the responsibility on the RI
publican party, while in fact, it is n
more or less responsible for it than
the Democratic party.

The Register of this place says
that "Mr. Allen is ignorant of the new
method of robbing the people, the in
vention and use of which are the ex-
elusive property of the Republican
party"
OF course, as Allen has just been
aroused from his Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep of 25 years, he is ignorant of
ANYTHING new.

NARRow.GAUGE RAILROADS.. - The
New York Herald has been collatins
some facts regarding narrow-gauge
railroads, from which it appears that
there are now Is narrow-gauge rail-
roads in operation In the United States,
having 700 miles Of track, and that
there are no less than 100 organizations
and 1850 miles under process Of con-
struction. These roads have been
planned and constructed within the
last two years. The cost through n
level country Is about $40, 900 a mile,
including a fair equipment Of rolling
stock; while the 4.foot-Shss. Inch gauge
costs from $35. 900 to S45, 900 per mile.
In the West, where the traffic Is not
large, the narrow-gauge road Is said to
pay better on the amount Invested
than does the wider gauge.

AMERICA AT N

Correspondents of American papers
writing from Vienna, speak very dis
paragingly Of our display at the Expo
sitlon. and of the space In the Indus
trial Palace occupied by American
manufacturer, etc. 1t Is said that VS.
itors to this part Of the American De-
partment are ten times rs numerous as
those 10 the machinery or agricultural
halls. aud that American Industries
will be almost entirely judged by the
display made therein. Que writer
describes the American gallery In the
Industrial Palace rs suggestive of our
Western States, "a great expanse OF
territory with very little in It." Bier
s,adt has some very fine stereoscopic
views of Niagara and California seem
cry, which are spoken Of rs very cred
table, and three San Francisco artists
are exhibiting photographs of iosem-
ito Valley scenery and the Big Trees,
which excite the wonder and admira-
ton of the European visitors. These
latter are said to be the best landscape
photographs OH exhibition. which,
apart from the wonderful scenery,
they reproduce, gains for them univer.
sal admiration. In the mining and
m%etallurgical branch OF the exhibition,
America has SO exhibitors, aud the dis
play Is said to be good as compared
with other nations, but not half so fine
rs it ought to be from the opportuni'
ties afforded BY the extent of our min
eral resources. The silver and gold
ores of Utah, Nevada and California
are said to be best represented by Mr.
W. Castle OF Sau Francisco, an l
teur California collector, and Califor-
min wines have also u fair show
Ing in the Palace. All correspondents
unite, however, in saying that the
American department. Is not at al
what II should be, nor a fair exhibition
OF American products or industries
and that as \ nation we are conspicu
Gus rather In the absence than the eN'
hibition Of our best productions. 1t Il
useless now to speculate upon the
causes which have led to tho compare
tive failure of the American depart
ment OF this great Exposition. The
nation has been disgraced both By {
public investigation on charges o
frauds among the Commissioners ant
BY the inferiority Of her display. We
cannot but think, In view Of all devel
opments thus far published, that Il
would have been better to have de
ferred the suspension Of the oriGina
Board of Commissioners until the clos'
Of the Exposition.

OSE Of the strongest Indications Of
true progress in Japan, Is a step lately
taken by her government in the mat
ter Of religious federation. Ever since
the expulsion Of Christianity from the
Empire 1t has been the duty of certain
local officers to examine the people
and note what sect they belonged to,
SC rs to be able to detect any who had
adopted Christian doctrines. On the
Goth Of May last an imperial order
was issued throughout the Empire d.
rectins that this system OF espionage
should cease. aud forbidding local oifi-
GERS from making any examinations
among the people regarding their reii-
gious opinions. Following this order
will probably be al edict granting
full religious federation in Japan, and
n complete abandonment Of espionage
or control on the part Of the govern
ment In matters OF religious belief-a
sure Indication Of absolute progress.

NOT c~RFD1rABLE.

Paymaster Hodges, U. s. A., Of
Washington City, made n pretty good
raid upon Government funds before he
was gobbled up and courr-martialed.
He was, however, shortly after being
imprisoned. pardoned by President
Grant, and now sports his fast team OH

l.olds up his head among the bravest.
lie Is doubtless justified Ia this, for the
amount Of funds lie appropriated

The Treasury Department has recently

the final settlement Of his dedication,
from which it appears that after "de-
Quoting what was realized from the
sale OF his property. there remains as
a total loss to the Government, $i43.-
0l0. The bonds which were given By
Hodge at different times were four In
number, for $2O,0 600 each; but some OF
them do not cover the period OF deiai'
cation, and It Is not expected that the
Government will be able to recover
anything On any Of the bonds It holds
1t further appears that the New
York brokers for Hodge-Polemus 4
Jackson-oflered, after being indicted,
to compromise by paying a large pro-
portion OF the defalcatiou. The offer
was not accepted. and no steps were
ever taken either in the way OF prose-
cution or to enforce n compromise, aud
shortly after the conviction Of Hodges
an order was given to dismiss the ease
against his brokers. This Is probably
rs large u robbery Of Uncle SANS
pockets as has ever occurred in the
army, and the fact that Hodges has
been %pardoned. and his brokers went
scot free Is not to the credit OF those
who have had to DO with the case.
