AN attempt was made during the
last fiscal term Of the County Court
to allow the Clerk Of the Court to
have any printing done that he
should decide he needed. The or
der really was made, but the fact
coming to the ears of an attorney
here, be went before thu court and
asked that the order might be re-
considered, and after showing to the
court what license was given in
such an order, and how it could be
abused, the order was reconsidered.
The Journal says the Democracy
of Preston are always making fuss
sbout an imaginary "ring" that they
say exists in Kingwood. Now, if the
above bold attempt does not SAVIOR of
"ring,' what is it like? We don't
say it t0ott'd have been the case, but
how easily the Clerk might haye ad-
ded an expense OF several hundred
dollars to the county, and at the
same time allowed the Journal the
benefit Of the money. We don't say
this would have been done. but we
are glad the order was not made.
1t is a we'll known fact that when
party has been too long in power, it's
leaders are apt to become corrupt.

WE regret TO again notice the
gentlemanlyC) editor OF the Journal
but it seems that be is determined TO
still harp upon our editorial OF June
.29tn. He says, in his last issue, that
the editorial in question was contrib
uted TO the ARGUS. If the gentle
man means to still insippate that we
did not write it oprself, we beg leave
to state 10 our readers that it is a
false insiDustion, and as contemtible
one as can be. For Mr.. Dawson we
will say, be knows we wrote the edi-
torial, and when be asserts to the
contrary, he is q faLsIyer. We are
we'll aware that this is rough Ian
gnage, but after the denials of bis
charge, in the last issue ofthe ARGUS,
one would think there would be
enough Of the gentleman about him
to believe the statements of gentle
men.
We ere placed in a situation by
the editorial In the Journal of last
week, that no one could help being
indignant we're he placed under
similar circumstances. 1t is asserted
We do not write our own editorial s,
which is as much as to say we can
moi DO so. 1t is likely that we are
poor writer, but we do most SOL

Letter From Tunneltop.

The Fourth with all it's traditions
ard remembrances has come and
gone, passing into the unrecslled
past over which history alone pre-
sides. The l03d anniversary of the
birth Sf American liberty was duly
and patriotically celebrated in this
vicinity by the customary picnics,
dances and like pleasures, though
there was marked absence of what
was considered Indispensable to
display Of loyalty and allegiance in
ye writer's younger days, frecrack-
ers--beg your pardon, Mr.. Editor,
for almost overlooking an item that
properly belongs here. There were
few Chinese explosives used on the
above occasion by two Of our towns
men, bOtn Of whom are good Repub-
licsns Of the stslwart school. Our
town failing to contain any pyro-
technics, avaihng themselves OF the
telegraphic wires, over which they
both WELD the sceptre, requisition
was made on Grafton for four packs,
which coming promptly to hand by
an express train, were speedily igni-
ted and doomed" amid earnest and
loud well-wishes for the Republican
party and its most worthy leaders,
Rutherford and Zachariah, models of
propriety and apostles ofright. After
this gush OF patriotism the success OF
Foster in Ohio, return of Republi-
can majority to the next Congress,
and the browning OF Ulyssus on the
4th of March 1880, are no longer in
doubt, but events that are assured.
The picnic at the camp ground
was an enjoyable affair, many per-
sons being present. The speakers
were Fl. @. Fl. Hyde, OF your place,
Rev. D. Cool and S. T. Wiley, all Of
whom delivered excellent addresses.
