IN another column We print card
from Sheriff Cochran in reply TO the
statements in an article which appeared
in the Gazette of last week in reference
to difficulty between himself and j.
F. Simpson. A great parade and a
slashing effort was made By the hedry
man of the Gazette to manufacture
dishonest and uDtruthful version of the
affair for political capital, but it was
more than a failure. Even Mr.. Simp-
son himself, in conversation with us,
admitted that it was untruthful in
several respects, and that he did not
know whether the harsh words attribu-
ted to Mr.. Cochran were spoken by
him or not. Our readers, with this
card before them and the corroborative
statement of Mashal VIM. Rice, who
was the only person present, can judge
for themselves whether Sheriff COch.

NONE but physicians know how much
a reliable Alternative is needed by the peo-
pie. On all sides of us, in all commu-
mites everywhere, there are multi
tudes who suffer from complaints that
nothing but an dlteratiue cures. Hence,
great many of them have been nude
and put abroad " ith the assurance of
being effectual. But they fail to ac-
cempIish the cures they promise, be-
canse they have not the Intrinsic vir-
tues they claim. In this state Ofthe
case, DR.. j. G. AVER d Co., of Lowell,
have supplied COMPOUND EXTRACT
OF FSARsAPARILLA, which proves to be
the long-desired remedy. Its peculiar
difference from other kindred prepara-
tions in the market is that it cures the
diseases for which it is recommended,
while they do not. We ere assured
Of this fact by more than one intelli-
gent physician in this neighborhood,
and have the further evidence of our
own experience of its truth.-Nash-|

is somewhat refreshing to note the
avidity with which the Gazette grasps
hold of any minor item that it ima-
gines will benefit its party and restore
it to the confidence of the people in this
county. In order to answer the silly

appeared upon several occasions in a

ze1e is probably aware, that this matter
of printing is regulated by an order
placed on the Commissioners Journal
by Republican Board of Commission
ers, and that the Auditor cannot issue
an order for payment for printing &C.,
without the consent of the Commission

given to a Republican Board of Com

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, the organ
of the reputation swindlers, and Pen
dieton's mouth-piece, has issued pri-
vate circular which is being distribu-
ted among the Democrats of this State,
notifying them that the apparent ac-
quiescence of the party in the provis-
ions of the low of March, 1869, which
pledged the country to pay its bonds in
gold, is only game, and that they are
to pay no attention to it. They are to
vote to cheat the creditors of the Gov
ernment just the same. The circular
says: "Vote for your Congressional
candidate and the Democratic State
ticket upon the following Enquirer
platform: The $40 bonds were made
payable in greenbacks by the law
which created them; therefore, we pro-
nounce the law of 1869, providing for
their payment in gold, is monstrous
fraud"

REPUBLICANS, individually, we ask
you "What of the night?" Are you
aware that one of the most important
elections ever held in our county and
State is just before you?-and are you
properly awake to its Importance? The
recent crusade interest and subsequent
election, we fear has had the effect to
create apathy. This is not right. We
adjure you as honest Republicans, as
patriots, as men who had, in times
past, only to know your duty to have
it faithfully discharged-not to forget a
solemn obligation resting upon you
now. We feel we have but to simply
remind the old guard of Belmont of
their duty to have it discharged with
aIacrity and power. See to it that all
necessary arrangements are made to
keep your voters well in hand till past
the election. Go out yourselves to the
polls, and get your Republican friends
TO go also-eacf has his influence-let
eacn do his work; squit yourselves like
men, and success Is assured. |

MORRISTOWN.

Morristown is not dead, although for
some time unnoticed. Our town has
been more lively for the last Two months
than for some time previous. The
COrnet Band is one source of animation,
and also of qualification to our citizens.
The marriages which have been, and
are to be, is never-failing topic for the
fair sex, and how bright and lively
they look as they discuss the subject of
marrying, the bride elect, her dress,
her age, neither in their opinion too
old, or too young, for one who has
chosen her from among their number
to be life companion. 1t seems to be
such pleasure to them to indulge in
such conversation that we forbear COM
menting.
The health of our community is good
with few exceptional cases.
Mrs. Fisher and family, and Miss
Emma Gregg have returned from an
eastern trip. We are sad to learn that
the felldestroyer, consumption, seems
to have marked Miss Emma for its
prey, but hopes are still entertained
that the disease may yet be overcome.
The ZOar Babtist Association conven
ed in this place on the 7th of Sept. and
continued in session until the 18th.
Fifteen Ministers were in attendance.
The meetings were interesting through
out.
The telegraph office has been remov-
ed from our town, and Mr.. G. Wilson,
the operator, has returned to Zanes-
vile. During his stay here, Mr.. Will
son, by his amiability and correct de-
pertinent, gained the esteem Of our
citizens, and also succeeded in gaining
the heart and hand of one of Morris
towns fair daughters-MissS Sadie E.
Farrtll-Whom he took ON the Sth ult.
to gladden. his future home.

Education were pecuniarily con- PEELED

Prof. Woods not being willing to teach
for the wages they were able to give.
Prof. Woods ranks high as an educator,
and the high standing os our schools at
the present time is better mpliment
to his energy and ability than anything
that can be said or written. Prof. |

both as gentleman and !
and although much younger,
and therefore lacking the experience of
his predecessor, yet there is no doubt of
his success as teacher.

1t is noticeable fact that nearly all
the charges brought by Democratic pa
pers against Southern 'scalawags' and
'carpet-baggcrs,' are very general.
They do not specify, but make whole
sale assertions against all Republicans,
as vague as they are sweeping. There
is no doubt that some of these men
have betrayed the trust reposed in them
by the republican party; but, as soon as
detected, they have almost invariably
sought safety in the Democratic fold.
Taking the entire South in review,
however, large majority of Republi-
cans in Office are old citizens, who in
everything except politics, stand fully
as high as their Democratic opponents.
Perhaps not one official out of twenty
is real 'carpet-bagger'-thati is, an ad-
venturer without permanent interest
in the State in which he resides.

"THAT most corrupt and fraudulent
system" is the language applied by the
Gin. Enquirer to the National Banks,
and it is echoed by every Bourbon pa

control of the next Congress. If the
people pine for a return of the old
State banking system, with its fatal ef-
fects so often experienced by bill-hold'
ers, in preference to the present entirely
safe and secure system, by which the
bill-holder never has lost and never can
lose dollar, let them follow the Enqui-
rer & Ce. and vote for Henry Boyles.
