CRUSH EEES EV.

Crush frey by ali means" has
been the cry of the opposition, and
The NEWS of last week contained
no less than four communications
to effect this. Most of the asser-
tions and insinuations were grossly
false. One says, l ''dodged the
vote on the preferred stock bill"
This is false. He says The Jour
nel shows list OF cowardly dodg-
es all through practiced by frey"
l never lodged a vote upon any
bill, aud he publishes falsehood
when he charges me with lodging.
The facts on the impeachment of
j. L. Hayes show just what was
predicted then, that it would cost
the state q great deal and amount
to nothing. So it did and my votes
have since been proven 10 be cor
rect, as TO the matter.
Smith Jones says / had railroad
pass in my pocket when l voted
against Anthony'5 motion. l un-
hesitatingly declare it faisehooe.
That pass was handed TO the con-
ductor on nay first trip TO Topeka,
and l paid full fair every time. Il
refer 10 Rev. Stewart for proof
Smith Jones says he is reliably in
formed that | was in The Senate
when the vote ON the preferred
stock bill was taken. That also
is q falsehood. / was ct home.
One of the articles charged me
with getting on the cara as soon as
the 5eiht day had expired as he be-
lieVcd. This is a falsehood. The
day was excused from further at
tendance was the 54th, or four days
oyer time.
The Journal on page 932 shows
that l was excused from further at
tendance and at this time none were
excused but for sickness. / will re-
fer those interested TO the Emporia |
News of last March wherein the ed
itor stated that was broken down
and looking badly, aud further state
that physicians advised me not to
stay longer as then had high fe-
yer.
Now, Mr.. editor, when men
have no regard for truth and will
publish wiIfut falsehood, the time
has come to expose them.
But after ali one derives great
deal OF encouragement from such
attacks. i man once said to his
friend, sometimes ! fear l am not
a christian because Satan troubles
me with SO many temptations.
SWELL" replied his friend, shat
should encourage you, for Satan tor
ments thosc most who he thinks are
surest of the victory over him" So
the opposition are alarmed lest we
should succeed, and resort to all |
kinds of trickery and falsehood to
secure their end, aud even when ac-
cusing me of lodging, have them
selves lodged behind a fictitious
name Ia q most cowardly manner.

rTATTACKED.-We learn that Mr..
John Cook, while on his way home
from town, on Saturday evening last,
after dark, on horseback, was attacked
in Myers woods, OH the road leading
from this town to Duf6elds, and about
one and half miles from this place, by
three men-one white and two colored.
The party ordered Mr.. c. to get off lis
horse, which OF course he refused to do.
It occurred to him that Messrs. Henry
St. John Shepherd and WIN. G. Butler
were short distance behind him, also
returning home from town, to whom he
called, and as soon as Mr.. Shepherd re-
piled, the party escaped through the
woods. Mr.. Cook bad sold some wheat
in town during the day, and received
the money from the Bank, and it is
supposed that the party had some ia
formation of it, and consequently de-
signed to rob him of his money. The
night being SO very dark, Mr.. G. was
unable to recognize any of the party,
but he believed one was a white man.

pH~ To OuR SUBscRIBERs.-On the
first of Janpary, 1875, the new postage
law goes into effect, which requires us
to prepay the postage OH papers sent
through the mails beyond the limits OF
the county. This renders it necessary
for us to require prepayment OF sub
scription on all papers sent outside OF
this County, from the fact that we can
not afford to prepay the postage and
wait for years for the amount of sub
sc,iption to be paid, and in some cases
never receive the amount due as at all.
We will prepay the postage on advance
paying subscriptions, without additional
charge. We give this timely notice SO
that subscribers at distance who wish
to continue, may settle up their back
dues and prepay for the ensuing year.

Iii Il few weeks, the Christian world
will celebrate the feast of Xmas. 1t is
the Anniversary of thu birth of Christ.
The Observance of this festival has ever
been Une of the utmost solemnity, and
while all churches unite on that day to
solemnize the great event Of the incar-
nation of the Son of God, the WORLD
outside are not indifferent in their re-
spec. to the great ideas of reformation
and that highes, civilization which the
establishment of Christianity has be-
gotten. while the greatest reverence
should govern our actions on that ga
cred day, and the utmost. sobriety pre-
vail among US as q token Of our esteem
and love for this greatest manifestation
of Heavens love toward our fallen race,
let us not, as Oh former occasions, make
the birth day OF the Sea Of Man as
feast Of rioing, inteiaperaoce and gen.
eral disorder.
\ cheerful study of the solemn les
sons taught us by that great event will
disclose a wonderful contrast to our
eohduct. Every circumstance connected
with the birth of orr Lord is positive
rebuke to the faneies of the world.
The pride OF life, the lust of the flesh
and of the world receive their eondem-
nation. How silly, then, is it for us to
indulge in these superfuons excuses of
fashion and sinful violation of the re-
fined taste Of christian morality, by
catering 10 q morbid custom on that
day by RECALLING, eareusing and in So
eial disorder.
We would endeavor to check at this
the RIGHTEOUSNESS of former eelebra-
lions, show q more outstanding self
respect, and give to our children an ex-
ample for the time to come, of observ-
ing the festival of the birth of our
Brother Lord with devotion, respect and
religious observance.
