JUDO N ENT.

The Gazette takes to task one of our
clergymen because he declared from his
pulpit, short time ago, that the grass
hopper plague and the destructive fires
now prevailing "are simply an intimation
Of Gods displeasure because of the un-
belief Of the people and their refusal to
acknowledge Christ as the Savior of the
world"
The Gazette Is shocked.
"The .idea," says our cotenporary, sis
INDUSTRIOUS, tor it invests the Creator with
attributes that have not been ascribed
TO the fiend in hell. Helpless men, wo-
men and children, while on their knees
petitioning God to rescue them, were
consumed by the onrushing flames. Men
and women, given to all the vices
Of their kind, fled from the scenes
oftheir debauchery and were saved. y
And OF like nature was the curse that
fell upon Kansas. A thousand innocent
Christian men and women were punished
because Of the unbelief, maybe, OF single
individual, who, perchance, escaped UNI

men that people the earth. no such mon

horror from the contemplation of such
vengeance. and no earthly ruler would

THE ELECTION.


We may consider the campaign fairl.
opened. We have never before heard o.
% many candidates., although we have an
shoiity for publicly announcing but two
whose names will be found under The
proper heading. We have heard of Other
good and deserving men being candidates
for the same positions as those announced
in our paper. 1t should be An object Of
coDyratulation TO the peop.eof this county
to know that they will have the privilege
Of selecting. for the various county Offices
10 be filed ia August, from large mum
Der of good men, who are willing 10 serve.
The trouble heretofore has been that our
best men could not be prevailed upon to
accept these positions of trust, their bust
meas interests not justifylng them in doing
90, but times have changed, and it will
not now require much urging upon the
part Of tho people to fill our most impor-
tant offices with men possessing I'LL the
desired qualifications.
Those announced to-day-Jno. c. Guy
for Sheriff, and VIM. F. Davis for County
Olerk-wiIl be eminently satisfactory to .
large number Of voters in Gallatin county.
Mr.. Guy filled the Office of Sheriff for one
term, and would no doubt have been re-
elected, but declined on account of phys
ical disabilities at the time. He is man
of sterling integrity. and proved himself
fearless and impartia. in the discharge of
official duties.
VIM. F. Davis, who has for the past twol
or three years discharged the important
duties of Clerk of the District Court, is pre-
eminently qualified for the Office Of Coun-
~ Clerk, and possesses the desirable quail
ties of honesty and worthiness.
Next week the names Of other gentle
men will appear as candidates for the
different offices, and so far as we know,
oil are good men.
