A Card From Mr.. Payne.

-
The editor OF the Journal, in the
last issue of his paper. has seen fit to
honor me far beyond my deserts. !
never imagined that journal Of
such reputation would notice so nm
important person as myself, by de-
voting one and one half columns edi.

and PURPOSES It seeps, however,
that Tain misiakap. An edit orial
OF about that length appeared 10 tle

Messrs. Payne. Hyde & Co., OF which
SUPPOSED firm be seems to regard me
as chief and directly charges me
with the authorship OF an editorial
published in. the ARGUS of June 28th.
II is with great reluctance that !
take up the gauntlet thrown down
by this d;Stinguished person, who
with rare tact aud genius presides
over the fortunes OF that part OF the
republican party of this county
known as Office seekers and political
bummers. Yet in my own defence
and that | may accord honor to
whom honor is due, l shall take up
the gauntlet, and upon open plain
break lance with this fierce knight.
presnme that l will not be-
charged with insincerity by any one
and especially by my distinguished
friend-for such | hope he is-when

afoI esald editorial was wholly com
posed and written by Mr.. McCaffer.
ty, the editor Of the ARGUS
Enough Of this.
In the same issue Of his paper
he says; Harry Worthington
rushed into town the other day and
rushed into the ARGUS office with a
great big" letter. Brother Payne,
of the firm Of Payne, Hyde g. Co.,
rushed down from his Office to the
ARGUS Office, and the two gentle
man &c" l presume 1T will be re-
garded as sufficient in answer to
this very grave charge to say what
every body in this town knows is
true-that Mr.. Worthington has not
been in Kingwood for nearly two
months.
Doubtless, according to the teach
ing Of this distinguished person it is
"smart" to lie, but he should at least
be "smart" enough not to be caught
IN a lie.

Az Indiana Democrat who desired
"a position at the capitol in Wash
ington requested Democratic friend
to exert his influence in his behalf
among Democratic Senators, basing his
claim for recognition upon the fact
that he had beena Union soldier. After
Choking the critter over his friend
wrote his observations relative to his
chances for success and among other
things said: In the first place the
staple fact of your having been in ac-
tive service in the Union army would
be against you. 1t is fact, ] fear, as
has been charged by your opponents.
that there is only one army service
that eommends man to the congress

beena confederate. 1t is a fact. !
know, that it is sheerest nonsense to
base any claim upon having been a
Union soldier. Why. my dear fellow,

der known by our present party here

TIE Charleston News defines one of
the most important issues before the
people in the following language:
"The most important and the most
dangerous idea that the Democratic
party will have to fight in the. coming
campaign will be the claim that this
country is not Confederation, but a
Nation, and that the constitutional
doctrine of State rights was abolished
by the war and is now absolute.
That is exactly the issue that has been
made by the Southern Democrats in
Congress joined by their Northern al
lies. and the one upon which the Re-
publican party viii confidently APP
peal to the people.

The hearty endorsement given the
Republican State ticket by those Re-
publican papers who favored the rom
ination of Mr.. Ludington is an encour-
aging assurance that the party is not
in the least distracted by internal dis
sensions, and that the friends of that
gentleman appreciate the importance
of subordinating their personal pref.
erences for united effort in the inter
est of our common country.

THE Madison Democrat is greatly OK
ercised over the charge that the doc
trine of State rights is being taught in
the State University, and the State
journal az friend to the University
deeply deplores the circulation ofsuch
IL damaging rumOr. In very clever
way the State journal editor, to his
satisfaction, if not to the satisfaction
of others, has been convinced that
there is no tenable ground for such a
charge, but to the Democrat man this
matter possesses u sort of family as
we'll as political interest III conse-
quence of which he is 'making Rome
howl in his efforts to secure con-
ylncing refutation of the same. The
origin of the allegation i'll question
has been concisely stated as follows:
''At the recent examination of the
graduating class, answers were given
| to questions relating to State and ma
tional authority, which would have
| found echo i'll the heart of every un-
reconstructed rebel, and which were
| the cause Of establishment and dismay
to some of those present, and furnish
ed a subject for serious consideration
afterwards among prominent citizens
Of the State, who were at that time in
Madison. The answers indicated
would certainly cvince an medication
of the pernicious doctrine of State
sovereignty, or what would be equal
| Nv discreditable to the Professor of
Political Economy in that institution,
lack Of ability on his part to proper
| " Gil the station assigned him. The
chair of Professor of Civil Polity
and Political Economy is filled by j..
| b. Parkinson, Il bitter Democratic
partisan, promoted to his present po-
sitien from the editorial corps of the
| Madison Democrat, and enjoys the
doubtful honor of being u brother of
the pugnacious individual who now
controls the editorial columns of that
rebel-sympathizing sheet. The Uni
versity Regents owe to the people of
Wisconsin thorough investigation of
the charge, and if the same is sustain
ed by facts Prof. Parkinson should be
bounced and scholar rather than a
politician installed in his stead.
