Mr.. Charles p. Dorman OF the Ninth
Ward, who ON the second count Mt Sat.

the Eighth Ward, one from the Sc. enth.
one whose residence IL unknown but
who does not live in the Ninth Ward

will give Mr.. Dorman majority OF five

Rumor, some time ago, connected the
name of well known county officla
with social scandal in the village ol
Chrisiiana The scandal really existed
| but the connection Of the name Of the
gentleman above alluded to with the
affair, seems to have been entirely un-
instifIable. The young lady persistently
refuses to disclose the name Of the au-
| thor OF her troubles, but in order to ex-
culgate the gentleman who was wrongly
accused, she wrote him letter, OF which
the following Is an extract:
~ understand that gossip blames you
with my misfortune. l wish to say that
II IL no business of the public, and that
l clear yOn aud have nothing Whatever
to blame you with"
