THE COUNTY SEAT KING.

THE COUNTY SEAT Ns1NGss
 It is charged by Esq. Wm. Rey- holds he OUGHT to know something about CoURrHousE rings) that there is county seat ring at Russellvillc. At Gumlog, we are reliably informed he named the editor of this paper as the head of the ring. Now, Esq. Reynolds is as badly mistaken about this matter, as he was when he sup posed he could ride into the County Judgeship on this anti-removal bob by. If there is any ring here, we krow nothing about it, and we pro- fess to be in a position where we would know all about it if there was one. We do not deny having work ed earnestly in conjunction with . number of Rnssellville's best citi- zens to procure the ordering of the present election But we deny that we have done anything secretly, sly ly or illegitimately to secure this end. We have worked openly, fairly, honorably, earnestly and above board. We did this not only because we believed it for the best interests of the Covnty, but because we want ed the court house here We have shown m energy and enterprise in the matter which proves that we have live town, and we believe that the taxpayers will appreciate it and give us the Court house.
 If there is any ring at all, we charge that the Ring or combi- nation has been worked up AGAINST Russellville. It is common rumor that Atkins, Dover and Scottville has combination to defeat Russell vile from getting the County seat. W uV uOt AuOW WuctHCl Suto 10 ea uS or not, but from the utterances given ont by the Atkins paper which states that the people of THREE parts of the county will settle the matter and that Rnssellville is out Tn the cold BY HERSELF in this matter, we are inclined to believe there may be some foundation for the rumor.
 But we shall see whether Russell vile has any friends or not, and we opine that when the election comes she will have enongh to carry the county seat here by handsome ma jority.
 Move up Squire, and join the ring and perhaps you can get the con tract for building the new house.

THE CIRCUIT JUD0EBHIP.


 The shape whish tAs saee for the Ctssu1s Judgsship h this Judicial Distsics has assnncd is very mpch te be-sasrsstsd indeed, and not only smsasrasaing tO the Eegalar nominee of the Denocratic party but sasO to the party itself in this district. Amidst all the complications of the case, we do not see any easy or ready solution for the difficulty. As we view it tho best thing that can be done is to let things take their natu- ral course. We can not see how Col. Jacoway can be forced to abandon the race now, without doing great injustice to him. For him to step dowu now will place him in the atti tude of fleeing from the charges pre- ferred against him. To ask him to do 50, is pronouncing judgement against him upon the exparte state ments of men who are known to be bitter enemies of his and whose minds are so strongly prejudiccd that none of them would be allowed to sit upon jury in any case where such well known prejudice exists. Col. Jacoway IS entitled to an ac- quittal of the charges and to the consideration due an innocent party, until he is pronounced guilty by some court of competent jurisdiction, after a fair and impartial trial. There Is . proper method of proceed ure in all matters of this kind. If Col. Jacoway is guilty of the charg es alledged against him he is, of course, unfit to occupy the high po- sition to which he aspires. But how shall we ascertain whether he is guilty or not? Will it do to take these ex-parte statements of bitter enemies and pronounce judgement against him upon them alone? Never! There has been no case made against him yet sufficiently clear to justify such high handed measure. Thus far he has faced every charge and has made a defense which is as strong as the attack.
 The laws of the land provide a method for relieving the people and the bench of a corrupt or disquali- fed Judge. When Col. Jacoway be- comes Judge this method can be ap- piled to him, and THEN will be the time for the gentlemen who profess such great love for pure judiciary to make good their charges. THEN, too, will be the time for Col. Jacoway to purge himself of the charges against him. Then 8 fair and im- partial hearing will be given to both sides, and the decision, whatever it may be, will carry conviction and respect with it. It will be final and binding. Al we view it, it is best to let Col. Jacoway's candidacy alone, and let the charges against him go through the proper channel. An investigation which may be patched up by the mutual friends of the parties will be of no account, and no good can come from departing from the regular proper method.
