Private Circulars.

During the late contest there was quite
a lively private business in the line Of cir
culars aud letter writing, some of them
emenating from parties who make loud
protestations Of never engaging in politics.
We don't propose to say anything
further 10 regard TO Individual pressure, at
the present time, than merely to state that
we are fully cogniz-nt of the appliances
which were used land chat the skill employed
10 covering up things behind the scenes
was insufficient to wholly conceal the hands
which moved the puppets; that is all.
The following relating to kindred opera
tions, is taken from the State Register
which remarks; ..
The following circular illustrates the
manner 10 which the republican party has
conducted the. cam psign. Its authenticity
is beyond question:
H'DQTERs REP, Conf COMMITTEE,
WASHINGTON, u. O., October2s, rs. I
My DEAR SIR: We have been crediDIy
informed that you have deserted the re-
publican party, and that you are giving
your voice and influence in support Of
the national greenback party. We deem
it humiliating, and equaled only by open
treason for any republican to desert the
great, patriotic republican party. that put
down, in 1861, armed democratic treason,
preserved Sthe Union, and struck the
shackles from the limbs Of over four mil
lions OF slaves and babe the bondmau go
free. There can be no palliating excuse
for any war-educated republican to stop
or hesitate on the eve of great political
battle, or to contemplate desertion in front
of our great enemy--the enemy of our
free institutions; that fought in our front
and rear during the late democratic slave
holders rebellion. Now. we desire to call
your individual attention to matter of
great Importance, viz: In the event of
our national success in 1880, and our Sc
curing in the coming election control of the
national house of representatives and I'm
tied States senate, we deem it important
to see that REIMBURSEMENT be inaugurated
and reappointment be made in all public
government places, and those who stand
by US now in this great emergency will no,
be forgotten, but receive the reward mer-
tied only by the true and brave. Yon have
been represented to US man of worth and
ability, and by standing firm and aiding il
TINS struggle as patriots against democratic
Traitors, your services will be- duly appre

At the election of Bank officers OF the First
National Bank, E. p. Hill was elected presi-
dent for the coming year in place of A. B.
Copley, former President. William Hodges
remains Cashier.
DIR. Browning, on Monday morning last. ex-
changed his residence on Delaware street for
the residence Of II. j. Hendryx on Sherwood
street, paying Hendryx $1,000 difference.
NJ. ID. Matteson came to Decatur from Chi
cago on Monday morning. He has case on
the calendar for this term.
Rev. Mr. Wallace has been holding evening
meetings at the Presbyterian church for week
or more, with result which is quite encour-
aging.
There have been four or FIVE cases OF scarlet
fever in Decatur within week or two past,
but proper precautions have prevented spread
OF the disease and all Of the patients have re-
covered.
Lyman L. Rawson has begun On action
against H. b. Babcock, Esq. before Com

the planning mill property. Messrs. ]. G. Park

The following from the Detroit News Is
worthy of note: There is something wrong
in this State. The county houses are all full,
the jails would be full If most Of them did not
leak so that the prisoners all fall out, the state
prison is full. the house Of correction at Ionia
is nearly full, the old house Of correction at
Detroit is 30 full that the prisoners have to
stick their arms and legs out Of the windows
and yet, as states go, Michigan has the reputa-
ton of living peaceable, law abiding State.
The reason must be that we have too many
lawyers, too much law on the statue books,
and not enough justice in the criminal courts

Editor TRUE NoRTHERNER
wish to correct Misrepresentation made in
the Bangor Reflector, in regard to the death of
Mr.. Monk Mr.. Monk came to this country in
1855, settled IN Geneva, on section 26, and
raised family OF four boys and one girl, who,
for honesty, truth and virtue, any community
might be proud Of He was 90 years OF age and
was never sued nor under arrest The son re-
ferred to in the Reflector says he knew nothing
of the affair. The article stated that the family
refused to help hlm out Of the difficulty This
is a mistake. The family dld offer to help him,
also his friends offered to go his bail or to lend
him money, but he refused all offers by saying
that he got Tito the difficulty and could get out
OF it. The article referred to stated that he
died in the forenoon, whereas he died IN the
afternoon, between two and three O'Clock The
officer who had him in charge was Mr.. Sanders,
who came to this country some six years ago.
He was the worst enemy Mr.. Monk had, and he
was selected to take charge OF him. 1t is be-
heved by Mr.. Monks friends that had he been
in custody of an officer worthy OF an Office he
would have been alive yet, and Mr.. Cross wod
have had his dues.
The first thing this officer did when he came
to this country to build himself reputation
was to go into shoe shop owned by man 60
years of age and give him fogging, which cost
the county no little sum Of money. The next
was to commence row with his brother in-law
in which he got badly bruised. Finally he made
an assault upon woman, in which case he was
brought before Esquire Tripp and danced to
fine of S25 and costs.

future will see to the election OF officers worthy
Of trust
