A MOST remarkable story will he found on

the allegation that member of the Cabinet
has been guilty of the virtual forgery Of the
name of the Executive to the denomination of
an officer whose previous nomination had
lapsed by the failure of tho Senate to act upon
it. The story is simply incredible If 1t Is
proven true, the President will of course, at
once demand the portfolio Of the Minister.

AFTER q long and tedious trial Col. WILL
IAM CRAIG was on Tuesday acquitted of tho
charge Of having presented fraudulent
claim against the Government. Tho evidence
throughout has shown that it wns a case Of
persecution and not prosecution, and tho
charge of the Judge to the jury, as given in the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN of yesterday, was \
complete vindication, the Judge ordering the
jury to return verdict of not guilty. Col
CRAIG was graduate Of West Point, and at
the commencement Of the civil war was .
lieutenant In tha army. He. was placed in
command Of . volunteer regiment by Gen.
scoTT, and during the war rendered valuable
service. At the close Of the war he resigned

The farmers are very busily engaged
in planting corn. The majority would
have been done, but for the latcs rains.
James Kughn and ELAN HoslSison

They are considered the best corn rais>
ers in this county. They say IL the cut
worms don't bother their corn they will
raise more per acre than any other man

There is considerable talk here con
ccrning the building of the three bridges
below town and discussing the propriety
of iron or wooden bridges. There was
considerable interest manifested on the
day Of sale between the two factions.
After considerable skirmishing on both
sides, the sale opened with set up job
in favor OF the Iron Bridge Companies
although they had advertised to receive
for both iron and wood, it was apparent
that the, commissioners are decidedly in
favorof the Iron firm. The feeling of
majority of the tax payers in this sec-
ton are in favor of wooden bridges for
several reasons, one is that the bids re-
ceived were about 81 200 less on the
three bridges built of wood, which is an
item. The next is, if they let them to
an Iron Co., the money will be taken
from the county, but if let to our own
mechanics the money will remain IN
the county and add something to the
circulation Of money, If they let them
to an iron Co., they send 5000 out OF
the county, bat on the other hand, they
are let for wooded bridges they retain
$500 i'll the county. This would be no
smallit item to the county.
Mr.. j, w. Brock says he can plow an
acre in two days, as he has had some
practice. CIo
