SINCE the commencement of that
paper, (Herald) it has denounced Re
pubhcans time and again, vilified and
abused its leaders, CHASING them with
thieves and robbers, and has gone to
the verge of indecency in making it
appear that republican, radical and
thief were synonymous terms. Has
IFS tergiversating editor forgotten so
soon that General Harlan, man who
was and is an ornament to his profes.
sion and party, was compared TO the
Send man of negro minstrel
troupe"
The above, so far as it relates to the
HERALD under our editorial manage
ment, is manufactured out of the
rhcle cloth. When Mr.. Gruelle edited
this paper in 1875, he inserted an ed
itorial squib to the effect that making
a lawyer and politician out of Gen.
Harlan, spoiled good material for an
end man of a negro minstrel troupe
We had no control of the editoria
columns then, and no one knows thai
fact better than the News man him
self.
The Hartford herald., 1879-04-16

We never shall loan the columns
of this paper TO make personal at
tack upon any one. We ask the SUI
port of honest Democrats, because We
shall not deceive you or make upon
any individual personal attack
News.
What about the personal attack and
mntrdIyM charge on Sheriff Phillips,
accusing him with the dishonest acl
of voting citizen of Hancock coun
~, in our county convention, which
charge appeared in the second issue
of the News?
The Hartford herald., 1879-04-16

THE first issue of the News contain.
ed slur ON the Democrats of the
county, in stating that a large part OF
those participating in the convention
here, on the 9th ult., were present tc
answer indictments in Criminal Court,
which began that day. We took oul
neighbor to task for this. Last week
he comes back; not in answer to what
We had to say. not with proof sustain
ing the charge made against the Dem
ocrats, chasing them, as a body, will
criminals-but in a column and a-halI
article filled with abuse of the HERALD
and its editor. What, if it were true
that we could not be nominated ii
1877, for the Legislature, or could moi
be elected Town Marshal? Does that
Justify the News in chasing the Dem
ocrats of the convention, with crimi
mails? Surely not.
The Hartford herald., 1879-04-16

WE shall not relate fabulous ac-
counts of our circulation. We have
been bred in honest courses, and shall
continue therein.-( News.
A man needs watching who will
deny thing before being charged
with it. Once upon time, in our
neighbor county, Grayson, debtor
wanted to get his horse into the hands
of friend, to keep him from debt.
The friend and pretended purchaser
mounted the horse Gt was at a mus.
teri and rode around through the
crowd proclaiming his purchase in
good faith. The creditor sued, at
tached the horse, set up fraud, and
the very act of the pretended pur
chaser in publicly proclaiming the
trade, convinced the court that it was
a sham sale. The very act of the
News claiming that it will not relate
fabulous accounts Of its circulation,
when that question had not beer
raised, is convincing that it has been
is DOW claiming, and will hereafter
claim a circulation large in excess o.
what it hss. The editor's boast o
having been bred in honest courses
when no one had called his honesty ii
question, is enough to make people
suspicious and put them on guard.
The Hartford herald., 1879-04-16

IT will be remembered by Republi-
cans at least, and all who like honesty
and fair dealing. that upon one oc-
casion the HERALD announced itself a
county paper, obtained a large sub
scripiien under that announcement,
and then turned Democratic.-(New
The foregoing statement of the
News cannot be tI1thtuIy remembered
by any one. The HERALD has al
ways essayed to he county paper,
and while willing to deal fair with al
parties, it has. nevertheless, al'cay'
been Democratic in whatever it had
to say. editorially. Its prospectus
advertisements in directories, gazettes,
&C.. all prove this.

TATE, the indianapolis murderer
who killed his man in the very pres
ence of a court of justice, has been ac-
quilted. A fine of $4,000 for con.
tempt of court aud $40, 900 more paid
to his lawyers are the only penalties
for his crime Exchange.
How much does it lack of being as
wicked and desperate to shoot con-
testant in the presence of court Of
justice, as it is to shoot the judge of
the court, for giving an opinion in the
case? If any difference at all it is in
the usefulness to the public of the
subject murdered. The case above
re.crred to as will be seen, happened
in indianapolis, Ind. Notw ithstand-
ing our neighbor, the News, last week
gave us the startling bit of informa-
ton, that no such cases of brutal mur-
der ever happen North of Mason and
Dixon's line, "That men who conf
nit such daring, cold.blooded deeds
are born and bred no where upon
earth save South of Mason and Dix
on's line, and are the outgrowth of hu-
man slavery" "To those who have
clung to their institution, (slavery)
fought and shed blood for it, we say,
look this is your work." What conf
pliment to the people of its county, its
State and its section and its former
slave owners, the News has paid. In
plain English, it charges them with
breeding. rearing and educating mur-
derers and desperadoes. But as is
customary with the News. its foul
slander on the people of our county,
our State and glorious Sunny South
land. is wholly wanting in truth.
There have been cold blooded, foul in
human murders committed in every
land, in everv age, by persons of ev-
cry race that have existed since the
day in which Cain slew his brother
Abel, and until the great millennium,
such deeds will now and then happen,
There are equally as many horrible
murders committed in this country
North of Mason and Dixon's line as
South of it, according to population.
The case that heads this article was a
cold-blooded ,premeditaded brutal mur-
der of an opposing litigant, shot in the
very presence of the court, and be-
cause he has plenty of money, he gets
off with a $40, 900 fine for contempt of
court. We are no apologist for law
breakers. We believe that Buford
ought to, and will be hung, but We dc
not propose to make his brutal deed a
pretext for writing an editorial col,
umn long, denounciug our own peo.
pie. and iauding those of the North,
and that too. at the expense of truth,
and wholly unwarranted by facts.

HAYDEN BERGMAN brought to our
office last Wednesday morning re-
markable curiosity, supposed by our
antiquarian to be a well-preserved
copy of old fogyism. This remarka-
BILE production, 10 doubt, was origi-
mated by one Colonel John Pinkney
Barrett in his frantic efforts to produce
paper for the people before the age
of progress. 1t is called the Hartford
HERALD. 1t has no particular policy,

Gus household. Il News.
Yes, it was, as shown on its face, a
production of ours, and gotten up rs
it claimed to be, in Ohio county, and
by Ohio county men. The day pre-
vious, we got an old fossilized looking
curiosity ourself, which was claim ed
as production of one A. Ii. Cum
Minis, but we knew it was a fraud, q
deception that he was trying to palm
off. 1t was from the museum of an
tiquity, located in Cincinnati and pre-
sided over by Aiken q; Co., and wa:
of Their production yet said Cum
Minis was industriously and fraudulent
ly trying to palm it off on our people
as his own production. We do noI
sail under Jalse or fraudulent colors
We have too much policy to gather
victuals for that numerous household
at the expense of our avowed princi
pies, which the News man admits that
he has done.

WHEN we began the publication of
the Ohio County News we hoped that
the advent of our enterprise would be
received with kindness and encourage
ment upon all sides. We had, indeed,
some little apprehension that the Hart
ford HERALD, with its accustomed want
of foresight, would take much UNI
bragg at our entrance into journalistic
lite, and we discover that our appre-
tensions had some foundation. That
journal went so far as TO notice us III
a one line local. News.
The HERALD on the 10Th Of March,

Mr.. A. ii. Cummins, former fore.
of this office, has purchased the

Ohio County News. 1t will issue on
Tuesday. We wish our neighbOr sue

Does not that look like we felt kind
ly towards, and were willing to en-
courage hims Does that show much
umbrage? Is not that notice little
longer than one line. Is it possibl,
that since the editor has forsaken po
