COL. HENRY s. OSGOOD.

A curious inquirer desires to know 'what
federal Office Col. Osgood holds and how
long he has held it," This gives us an
opportunity to remark that an erroneous
statement once set ahoat has great vitali-
ty and will survive most astonishingly.
1, We take pleasure then in informing our
inquirer that Col Osgood holds no office
whatever, and strictly speaking, never
held any Federal Office at all. Some three
or four years ago there was though: to be
considerable increase of smuggling on
the roads leading into Maine from Cana
da on the waters of the Upper kennebec.
To aid in investigating it and devising
means for its suppression, Col. Osgood
was employed for brief period by the
Treasury Department, being selected on
account of his excellent business habits,
sagacty and experience. He did his work
well, received the thanks of the Depart
ment, got very little pay, and finished the
cntirejob more than two years ago. since
which time he has had nothing whatever
to do with official place Of any name or
nature. And yet every now and then the
democratic papers parade Col. Osgood as
an office holder and we presume will con-
tinue to do SO even after this explicit and
authentic explanation.

LET US KNOW The TRUTH.

The reports of outrages which came rom
the South before the elections were treated
by the democrats in the canvass rs gross
fabrications intended TO aid the republic
cans in the northern States. BY denying
and ridiculing them rs "bloody shirt >
stories the opposition no doubt deceived
many honest people. But we trust the
matter is not to be left without full and
impartial investigation which will disclose
the whole truth. If the reports are inven-
tons as charged by the democracy it is
the duty of that party to demand such
measures as will expose the fraud. One
of their first steps at the approaching SEES
sion should be to ask an investigation I;
if they believe these reports humbug
most assuredIy they will not be slow to
investigate.
On the other hand the republicans can
n6t escape the necessity laid upon them
to have the truth unfolded. If the out
RACES reported have actually been COM
mitted-of which we have no doubt-.he
people of this country ought to know it,
not simply to vindicate the republican
party, although that is required. but to the
end that justice may be subserved and
peace and order promoted. Discredit has
been cast upon the reports because they
occurred just prior to the elections, but as
the outrages were perpetrated by the
democrats to intimidate the colored
voters and keep them from the polls there
is no difficulty in understanding why they
occurred when they did. They were a
part of the democratic plan of the cam
pagn, the bloody arguments which the
White League employed in keeping down
the blacks We hope TO hear more of this
matter

DEAR NEwR: We are panied to re-
cord the death of Bro. Joshua Jones,
our friend and neighbor, who died
of pneumonia on Tuesday, February
9Th, at 80 o'clock a. m. About one

ill; was taken to his residence and
medical aid procured Immediately.
Every effort was made to stay the dis
ease, but to no purpose, He bore his
sickness with fortitude, as had been
characteristic of the man in all his diff
terent walks of life. As neighbor he
was kind and accommodating to
fault; as a husband and father kind
and affectionate; was a man that had
few enemies, If any; was always fair
ana honest in his dealings with his fell
low man. Although the weather was
fearfully bad, his funeral was attended
by large concourse of people, some
two hundred being present. He was
buried oy the order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry, of which he was an honored
member. Quite number were pres
ent from neighboring oranges, not
withstanding the snow storm that
ragged throughout the day. We are re-
quested to say, in behalf of Mrs. Jones,
wife of the deceased, that words can
not express her gratitude for kindness
shown them during the sickness, death
