Last week, in speaking of the shooting
of ID. q. Luse, at Humboldt, we stated
that &c uas the second midnight at
tempted aesassination" that had occuEed
there. and suggested that the people of
EHumboldt should do something to relisSe
their sown of the odium of such affairs.
The editor of the Union, thereupon balls
over with wrath, and after distorting
the language and meaning of our article,
says that The REGISTER lies He did
not admit the article in question to his
columns for it would have given the lie
direct to his statements. Now, the facts !:
Some weeks ago the Union published an
account of the shooting Of E. Strosnider,
of Humboldt, and the week following, if
we are not mistaken, published an ac-
count of the shooting of DR.. Swap, near
Humboldt. The latter was finally de-
nied-that is, the shooting The county
board offered reward of two hundred
dollars for the arrest and conviction of
the parties concerned in the assassina-
tions in the south part of the county
referring to the two above mentioned.
The Uaion of last week contained an
account of the shooting of ID. o. Luse at
iiidnight Saturday, July 18th, and also
an account of Geary Neal being shot at
the night of the 10th of July. II there
are not at least three attempted assassin
ations," admitted by the Union, we are
badly mistaken. The Union of last week
also says that "Luse has borne bad rep
utation, and is strongly suspected of be-
longing to a band of horse thieves which
has been committing depredations in
this neighborhood." Which has lied ?
''Give fool enough rope and he will hang
himself, and Mr.. McElroy is "hung," by
his own words-and yet he prates about
''dirty meanness." We are sorry that We
have to again refer to the matters which
for the sake of our county, shame would
keep US silent. But when Mr.. McEiroy
admits the shooting and then charges US
with "lying" and 'dirty meanness" for
the people to put stop to the
shameful Disgrace of having such things
90 the length and breadth of the land,
We are compelled to refer it to the people
as to who has lied. If we
hear any more from that source we shall
take the files of the Union for the past
six weeks and give seriatum the different
robberies. shooting scrapes, "attempted
burglaries etc, etc., which
have occurred in Humboldt during that
time. -i

Complaint is made by the Democrats
that they are misrepresented when they
are charged with reviving the question
of State sovereignty. If they haven't
revived it what does Alexander Stephens
mean by saying the war settled nothing?
What does Senator Butler mean by say
.ing the party has gone back to the
principles of twenty years ago? What
do the Southern journals mean by saying
the country is getting back to the ques
lions which agitated it before the war?
