the apparent injustice wherein one
man Is arrested and punished for q
crime, while another, whom the peo
pie Felt was equally to blame, escapes
without even SO much as having his
name mentioned I'm connection with
the evil-dOing. Such cases are COM
mon, and there's sort Of justice In IL,
too. 1t creates kind of double punish
ment for the one who receives advice
to do wrong, paying his advisor by
n share of ill-gotten gains, supporting
him for Office, &C. People must learn
that the one who counsels continuance
In fraud and law-brealiing is dishonest,
and no one need be surprised at seeing
the advisor get off without scratch,
while those he advised suffer the pun
sshment. The best way for well. mean-
ing people is to have nothing to do with
those who connive or wink ut fraud
and corruption. They compose dam
gerous element i'm society; as many u
one suffering for wrong-doing where
the advisors are equally guilty, neral
ly speaking-can testify.

Not long since the official plunderers'
clique of this point sent one sf their
customary slanderous articles against
the editor of the STAR to q newspaper
in a neighboring town for publication.
The document, instead of seeing the
light of publication-thercby poisoning
the mind of the public-was consigned
to the flames; and now we presume
the members Of the ring are anxiously
awaiting the appearance Of the libel,
and perhaps wondering if the publisher
Of tkat paper In the neighboring town
wasn't too intelligent to allow himself
to he used rs Seats paw"by the clique,
rs many well-meaning citizens of this
county have been and are being used.
There was ~ spirited runaway by one
of Foley's supply teams in town, last
Monday. The horses started from the
Baldwin House with an empty lum-
Der wagon; ran round Coon's corner to
the depot, leaving the wagon box and
hind wheels at pile of ties, and then
circled round to Oviatts premises,
where one of them jumped the fence,
which gave way. falling to the ground
with the animals both entangled in
tae harness. Strange as 1t may appear,
little or no damage was done beyond
slight bruises on the horses, and break
ing cock-cve in the harness.
