THE Conservative, in coming to the de-
fence Of Mr.. Riselcy, intimates that we
"abused" that gentleman-in other words,
gave facts concerning his bodybuilding
record-because he left the Republican
ranks. 1t says the BULLETIN said moth
ing about said record so long as Mr.. Rise
ley was Republican, and wants to know
why 1t turns in and "abuses" him at this
ate day. Our answer is that we gave
tho facts concerning Mr.. Riseley's ques-
tionablc manner of securing and fulfilling
bridge contracts ne soon as those facts
came to our knowledge. When he ap-
peared in the character of leader of the
reform party, and the accuser of our
county government of abuses, it was sug-
gested to us by those acquainted with
the facts that Mr.. Riseley's record would
not only furnish striking contrast to
his professions, hut, also, about the only
instance OF abuse In the Republican ad-
ministration Of our county. Investiga.
ton amply proved this, and we gave the
facts as obtained from lndubitablc author
ity. If. as is intimated, We intended to
punish Mr.. Riseley for leaving the Re.
publican party the punishment comes
late, for he left the party oyer year ago.

THE CLOTH MERCHANTs.-Last week
was signallzed by an Eruption into our
county, of score or more Of sharp,
brassy, INSCRIPTIONS vendors of shoddy
cloths, and other articles of inferior quail
ity, done up in $3.50 packages, for sale to
unsuspecting and inexperienced farmers
and others who might bite at the hook.
These parties were glib tongued, oil things
to all men-and women, full Of resources
and adopts in the arts of deception. They
accordingly had considerable success for
few days, selling number of their
packages ut twice their value, taking in
payment cash, or notes which they i'm
mediately sold at considerable discount,
at the bank. Among their victims were
some parties who are accounted by their
neighbors, sharp enough to guard them
selves against ordinary swindlers, and
one of them was man who has been
caught jim the net several times before,
thus reversing the axiom "a burned Child
breads the fire." But the cloth peddlars
were not destined to smooth sailing.
One of them sold package to a family
named Dickinson about four miles from
town, and took joint note signed by the
father and two sons These parties pom
dered upon the purchase, concluded that
they were sold with the goods, and on
Friday came to town and filed an infor-
nation against the sharp cloth vender for
swindling. He was arrested, gave secu-
rity for his appearance next day, and at
the time appointed appeared before May
or Roszell accompanied by Jamison and
Woodward as his attorneys. Hart &
Bruckart appeared for the State. And the
first information proving defective, an.
other was filed, and the trial proceeded.
The result after long investigation,
was o verdict of no cause of action.
There was NO doubt Of the swindle, but it
was of such character that the law could
not reach 1t. So the peddler was re-

DRouGHT.-No rain Of any account has
fallen in this vicinity since the 4th of
July, and the gardens, in consequence,
have rather a forlorn look. The earth is
dried to powder to the very roots Of the
plants, and the look for any considerable
amount of vegetables is decidedly squally,
unless a drcnching shower shall be vouch.
safcd to us soon. In the country we hear
that corn and potatoes are suffering for
lack of moisture, although the damage is
not yet serious. But there is no evil
without some corresponding compensa-
ton. The absence of rain will enable the
farmers to get their grain crops secured
in the best possible condition, and with
out delay.

MATILDA fletcher, Iowa's favorite
platform orator, has been selected to de
liver the annual address at the Nebraska
State Fair, at Lincoln, the first week in
September. She has accepted the invita-
ton, and chosen for her subject, EARN

happy selection for the success of our
Western neighbours fair. 1t will bring
thousands of visitors to their exhibition
and thousands of dollars to their treas
ury The women of our country are AS
much interested in the success Of our
fairs as the other sex, and it is right that
they should be put in prominent posi-

especially when the directors act as wise

braska have done-State Register.
Mrs. Fletcher writes us that she will be
at liberty to deliver the above address at
our county fair, if arrangements are
made soon, We commend the matter to
the attention of the officers of the AgrI-

FROM the vindictive energy with which
the whole brigade of Conservative cores
pondents, from the horny.handed, many
titled Farmer" who sows and reaps in
Kings building, down to the silliest scrib-
bier in the lot, one and all 60 for the
BULLETIN, VIC are justified in concluding
that we are making it uncomfortably
warm fol the demagogues who are run
ming the model reform" party in this
county. Every week the BULLETIN is
made the target for pop.gun fusil!ade
along the whole line. The result, like a
Chinese battle, is much noise and little
damage, but the readers of the Conserpa-
tice should be, and are no doubt, thank.
full; for, without these vicious thrusts at
the BULLETIN. the illusions of the cores.
pondents aforesaid would be fcarfully vac.
uous and turgid.

ONE of the bright Performers" whose
brilliant ideas and profound information
find weekly vent in the columns of the
Conservative, thinks that the custodian
of school money has right to build
barn with it if so disposed, especially If
he "has given sufficient bonds to secure
the district, and all moneys shall be forth
coming as wanted" He wants it under
stood, you know, that he is "glad" that
earns are built in that way, and that 1t is
"none of the BULLETIN S business" either
We take the rebuke with becoming sub.
mission, but would suggest to our addle-
pated performer" fact that may miti-
gate our impertinence. 1t is that the
law calls such use of the public money,
em5ezzlement. Our readers will not be
surprised that the performer" who thus
defends embczzlcmcnt, further along in
his article, resents being esteemed a fool
We do not think that appellation is ex-
actly appropriate in his case.
