ApOLoGETIC.--Two weeks ago there appeared
in the letter of our regular Marseies correspond
cnt an allusion to the Pitts Manufacturing Com
pany Of that place, in which it was stated that
the Company hal started up few weeks ago
and shut down again." and that it was thought
by some that they were financially crooked" or
embarrassed. This statement, we are assured
on the the highest authority, was wholly gratu-
itous and unfounded. The Pitts works at Mar
SELLS neither started up" nor " shut down " in
the manner Indicated, but have been running
with about the same force all winter and are
still running with such force; and as to its
financial condition, the company, whose head.
quarters and main shops are in Chicago, is
known to be one Of the wcalthcs: concerns in
the north vest, and never was in a sounder con.
dition than at present.
We find, on inquiry, that our correspondent
has lately been employed in a rival establish.
mcnt at Marscilles, which seems to be the only
way to account for this gratuitous and malicious
fling He had written letters for the FREE IRA.
DER regularly for year or two, had frequently
alluded to the Pitts Company in complimentary
TERMS as well as spoken well, so far as we could
Judge, Of all the other manufacturing establish
ments of that place, and given the local items OF
the town truthfully and fairly; so that we had
ceased to give his letters that close supervision
which We find so necessary with most OF our To-
cal correspondents, and thus failed to notice the
offensive allusion before it appeared in the pa
per, otherwise it would unquestionably have
been eXpunged.

somewhat. On the 25th the remains were es-

NOR that F. NJ. Campbell. the Repub-
lican nominee for Treasurer, was furn-
ishing whiskey with which to buy
votes. The story was originated By
some ofMr Campbells enemies to work
on the prejudices Of the Temperance
folks; but the little game did not work.
Mr.. Campbell gained votes instead Of
loosing, for no one who knew Mr..
Campbell would believe the story, ex.
cept a few "fanatical'' individuals who
would believe almostanything. NV.
B. Caters friends worked hard, but not
to much purpose, for when the vote
was counted Campbell stood S6 ahead.
The bitterest fight was between Ross
and Barker, for School Superintendent.
Barker came out 81 ahead. In Green
bush the main fight was over the com.
missioner; there were three candidates
Jesmer, Higgins and Scott in the field,
and Jesmer was the lucky man with 6
votes to spare, Campbell received IL
and Barker 35 majority at this place,
ms Milo the main fight was on the
Treasurer; it was supposed by almost
every one that this town would go for
Cater; but Frank Campbell had heaps
OF, friends there as well as everywhere
else, and Cater only got votes. We
can not get the returns exactly, until
the vote is officially canvassed by the
Auditor and his assistants. The COM
Plete returns will appear in next
weeks UNION; as near as we can Judge
now. Houlton for Senator, has 100 ma
jority; Richardson's vote is considera.
BILE less than Houlton's; F. M. Camp
bell is elected by 70 majority; H. F.
Barker, School Superintendent. by IS
Attorney General, Wilson
ran ahead of his ticket. Banning has
a majority of less than ten in the coun-
ty; Ebenezer Ayers for Railroad Com.
received a pretty fair vote.
