The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1878-10-04

In your last issue appears sort OF political
catechism concerning myself. do not think
it proper TO reply to any questioning OF my
political motives II only shows to what
straights the opposition are driven when they
betray an extreme anxiety to change the issue
from that OF principle to personal one.
would only say that Immediately after the
Toledo convention, i joined the National
Greenback party, and have labored ever since,
as we'll as have been able, for the success OF
it's great principles. But there is one question
in said article which l desire to answer more
at length "Did you not leave the office in
the hands OF subordinate, in questionable
manner, before the end OF your second term ?'
did leave it, but in no questionable manner"
left good man, Martin Ruggles, in charge,
with whom Alonzo Sherman and j. j. Wood
man did enter into bonds to me, for his per-
Torrance. When he was disqualified by sick
ness to care for the Office, he made careful
statement OF everything in his hands and
turned them over to Mr. 4. A. Tompson who
succeeded him IN the management Of the Office
It was afterwards found that he had not turned
over sufficient to cover the amount he had re-
celved. paid the county the same as though
no deficiency had occurred. The county suffer-
cd no loss or delay on account Of this matter.
The bondsmen Of Mr.. Ruggles employed
lawyer to make thorough examination OF the
matter and an arrangement was made. lost
something in the transaction, but the article
you, sir, have been pleased to publish, gives
the first intimation to me that the settlement
was not entirely satisfactory. The character
OF the gentlemen who had to do with this af-
fair, Mr.. E. A. Thompson and Mr.. Samuel II.
Blackman, who did much or the work in this
settlement. should be sufficient guaranty OF
far dealing.
Very truly,
Al DYCKMAN.
In the above, Mr. Dyckman answers the
question but in part. He admits that there
was shortage, and that the matter was fixed
up, or In his own words ian arrangement was
made He also says: II lost something in
the transaction" but fails to state why 1t was
necessary for him to lose anything. Was it
not the fact that the Ruggles estate was held
for all Mr.. Ruggles' shortcomings and if so,
why was it necessary for Mr.. Dyckman Ito
lose,' unless the irregularities reach back OF
Mr.. Ruggles' management of the Office
Would it not be legitimate to infer that there
was some laxity all through?

What a Splendid Complexion

" mat a SPAcnOhu
That young lady who moves through the
merry crowd has most splendid complexion.
And why? She Is IN robust health. See her
when disease comes and robs her OF her color.
Now she is an invalid. Some trifing irregular
ity or exposure has brought on sickness and
nature grows weak. The use Of the Peruvian
Syrup will restore health and those rudy
cheeks. Health may be restored and with it
beauty and grace. This syrup is natures great
means OF vitallzaton. 1t Injuries none and
benefits all who use it. 1t has relieved and
cured where all others have failed. 1t renews
the spirits Of the Respondent, sends new life
bounding through the VEINS, and Is, without
doubt, the most successful preparation ever
offered to the public. All druggists sell it.

There 10 an advertisement in our columns to
which we take much pleasure in referring our
readers, because we believe in it and conscienti-
ously and heartily recommend 1t. We refer to
Halls Hair Remover. We remember many
cases in our midst OF old and middle aged peo-
pie who formerly wore grey hair or whose
locks were thin and faded, but who now have
presentable head pieces, and with no little
pride announce to their friends that they
haven't grey hair in their heads. 1t is a
pardonable pride, and the world would be
better of, If there was more Of 1t, for when
the aged make themselves attractive TO others
they are more certain to WIN and retain the
esteem and respect to which burthen of well
spent years entities them. Try Halls Hair
Remover If age or disease has thinned or
whitened your locks and you Will thank us for
our advice.-Pan- Handle News, wellsburg,

SHALL WE HAVE GASP

We understand an effort will be made at
an early day to organize Gas Light Com
pany in Chsrlestown. This is an enterprise
In which every citizen is interested, whether
he becomes 9 stock holder in tho proposed
company or not. The number of accidents
from kerosene chronicled in the daily papers
is appalling and apparently on the increase,
and furnishes strong inducement to every
one to use his utmost endeavor to secure the
substitution of q safe illumiuntor, TO say
nothing of the cleanliness and convenience
of ligh. always ready for;use, instead of one
requiring daily attention in tho way of filing
lamps, trimming wicks, and supplying broken
chimneys, shades, &c.
Our town has been recently visited by Mr..
w. w. Gibbs, representing company which
has recently erected and are largely Interested
in the new gas.works in Frederick city, Nd,
where . gas is Manufactured of sapsfior
quality and Illuminating power, and furnished
to the city and she citiseus at one half The
price ly..charged. by the old company, and
that at a fair profit. to- thei mAnufacturer.-
We are Informed, by gentlemen who have
examined into tho matter, that . cash capital
of IS, 900 viii suffice to erect and start the
works in CharlestoHn, including the ad-
ditional pipe necessary::to connect the works
uith the old mains, and to supply slsrge and
growing portion of the tow which uas not
reached by the company in operation here at
che beginning of the war; and that gas can
be manufactured and furnished to consumers
ct cost not exceeding $3.50 per 1000 feet,
aud that at fair profit 90 the stockholders.
Our town authorities, too, fought, and doubt
less would, light our streets if gas were in
troducod CLarlestown is the only place of
its size and business importance. within our
knowledge, which is without either gas or
water supply. Now, when works osn be
erected at little more than half the cost Of
few years ago, is the time to press this matter.
Let our people, therefore, take hold of an en-
tsrprise which will insure to the stock holder
fair return for his investment, aud to the
consumer increased safety, convenience and
cleanliness

''Solid South" and says the coIored people
have been deprived of their rights by fair
means and foul. He threatens all who have
been misbebaving towards the oolored people
in the South with a vigorous prosecution
He says "no means within his power shall be
spared to obtain full and fair investigation
of tho alleged crimes, and to secure the con-
viction and just punishment of the guilty"
