the affairs of DoniPhan County, and publishes
whole pages from the State Agricultural Reports,
to show that the Township Trustees Of tins
County are either rascals or fools. This time 1t
makes Fred Close partner with Cy. Leland in
doctoring the census returns. As neither Leland
nor Close could gain extra dollar, even if they
should make the census of the County 20,0Oo,
the public may not understand why they art
supposed to have taken such an extraordinary
interest in doctoring the returns. This is the
secret: Fred will be candidate for reelection
this Fall, and the Bayl Campbell sose-head'

beginning to show his cloven foot. We can con-
sole them with the assurance that they have not
vet begun to taste him in all his luscious sweet
ness. Wait till he gets set back in his lordly
career, and begins to pour slop upon the best
and most influential Republicans in the County,
and to lend himself (or rather hire himself for a
small price) to the use of every disorganizer to
help break down the party, as he did in Doni-

INFAMOUS For graphic picture of the true
character of large portion of the hgh-toned citi-
zens of the Solid South, refer the reader to an
article in this issue relative TO the wreck of the
steamer Vera Cruz in the Gulf of Mexico. Can
nibals could not have manifested more fiendish
disposition than :he citizens the coast of
Florida, where the wreck washed ashore. The
fact of the wreck was kept secret by the only
persons who knew of it, for two or three days,
that they might get away with the plunder.
Everybody-land pirates, negroes, whites, mer-
chants, bankers, business men, high-toned gen
tlemen-all fioclsed to the scene of the wreck, to
revel in plunder. Goods were hauled away,
trunks were broken open and plundered, the
pockets of the dead were rihed, the bodies OF
young ladies were robbed of their silk dresses
and jewelry, and the bodies buried in the sand.
Read the account. 1t is sickening, hut it shows
what kind of people are to rule this country,
rhen Hancock is elected.
