Sunday, the day after,iwe refer our
readers to another column. Since
then, we have been reliably informed
that Van Dusen has asked to be per-

that he knew that the, citizens knsm

to remain in our midst any logger.

any kind whatever, Notwithstanding ru-
mors that we are infested with that ever

which is not true There has not been
a case in town, except one, and that was
brought here for treatment So, if you

truth, that il is false.

THE New York Sun, the most intense
ly anti-Republican paper in the country
says OF NJ. Charles Foster:
The reelection of Mr.. Charles Foster.
as Representative in Congress, from the
Sandusky District in Ohio. is an mdica-
ton of the growing tendency among
Republicans to repudiate their seIfcon-
stituted leaders who are involved in the
innumerable cOrruptions which have
signalized the Grant Administration.
Mr.. Foster is a Republican. but an hon
est one. and it was mainly through lis
Independence and determination that
the SanbOrn contract iniquity was so
thoroughly exposed in Congress, and a
check put upon the swindle by which a
small but select Ring expected to clear
several millions of dollars 1t was Mr..
Foster, too. who, in the proceedings re-
lating to that case, although a new and
inexperienced member, refused TO be
bullied 10y Ben. Butler, but on the con
trary, made that Uverbearing member of
the House so exceedingly uncomfortable
by the pungency of his remarks that the
hero of Fort Fisher was glad to get out
of the controversy in most demoral-
lied CONDITION. The consequence of his
manly course is that his constituents
have chosen him to represent them in
the Forty-fourth Congress in an unusu-
ally heated canvas, when a hide-bound
politician of the Republican party
would. in all probability. have met with
an ignominous defeat.
