We understand that Sam. D. Evans,
in his desperation to save his candi-
date for Congress, is claiming the au-
thorship of the Copperhead editorials
in the Ottumwa Mercury during the
war. That story will not 60 down.
Samuel. There is possibility thai
you might have written some of the
articles in the earlier part of 1862, bu'
those of a later date, we know YOU
did not write. The editor of thi:
paper was in the same regiment will
S. B. Evans, and in February, 1868
when the emo more men, editoria
was printed, the regiment was a
Helena, Ark, with very poor mai
facilities, and the regiment was too
busy in those days for its members Il
even write home, let alone get time t,
write rebel editorials, and it is still
more unlikely that Sam Evans, 100
miles away, wrote the articles il
question, every..week, when there wa
an editor at home able and willing t,
write Just such. But further, we wei
remember when Sam Evans, jus
about that time, wrote home to tn
other proprietors of the Mercury 60
he owned one-third), scoring thcr
severely for their course in publish
ing such articles, and our rccollectio
is that the "no more men and II
more money" article was the yer
one that called ont Sans letter. TIL
writing of such letter was we,
known to many of our regimen
among whom we mention Col. Lol
land and Major Lacey. So Sam ther
is no use in you trying to shoulde
the infamy of your candidate,

That nance.

A young man in this city few
evenings since receivedhis first invita-
ton to ball. 1t was to be in the coun-
try, and the young fellow had been
whistling dancing tunes for a week,
getting ready for the interesting oc-
casion as happy as he could be in
everything, except that time passed
all too slow. He mcandcred out in
to the rural districts between two
days, engaged "a girl" suitable for
the occasion, who had promised to
see him through the first cotillion,and
also agreed to dance no round dances
except with him. In that one short
week he grew an inch or two taller
and as he eat scarcely anything, sew
eral inches simmer.
When the all important evening ar
rived he waltzed into the counting
room Of his employers, and asked that
he might be excused for the after
noon, explaining the cause for the
unusual request. He was eXcused,an
to the parental domiciie he made his
way, as quickly as possible,but in the
meantime the old gentleman had been
struck with ''Reform,' and he had
felt it to be his duty to enlighten the
public on the momentous issues now
being canvasscd by the American
people.
1t is not so clear that the old mar
knew of the dance, or that his hope
full son had engaged the girl, blacked
his boots and brushed up his over
coat for the occasion, but when thu
boy got home, the well polished boots
and swectly scented overcoat had beer
worn into the country by the father
where he was posted to make a speech
for "Tilden and Reform and his fur
was all spoiled. That young maj
"spokc about" the circumstance, ant
has registered solemn vow tina
whatever ticket the old man votes il
the future, heW cote the other one.
