EDITOR S~ENTINRL:-The Intelllgencer OIL Satur-
day contained the following card
Editor IntelliG encer:-Thea article IN your last
issue signed '.Lexing.on.n " ! n ann = soa a1
Col. Geo. S. Rathbun, will be answers IN your
next issue, as my card is crowded out IN THIS
The people Of Middleton will understand tne IN
suit offered them by Mr.. Shewslter. in stating
that they are capable OF treating u stranger win
JNO. E. BURDEN.
Every statement OF the above is false so far as
it relates to myself. l neither wrote or even read'
alter publication, the communication attributed
to ME. While Mr.. Burden promises me to take
back his statement in the next Issue Of the Intel
lIgencer, l cannot let it rest undenied until that
time, for l am forced to the conclusion thar the
card of Mr.. Burden was wilfully written for a
purpose. The only explanation he mas given
me for his card is. that a composition IN the In
t lIigencer told him he thought the manuscript
was in my hand. The transparent ''thinness'
of this excuse is apparent when it is stated that
NY hand writing is known to every member oil
the Lexington bar. John f. Burden included,
and that he WAS shown the manuscript by Capt.
Lesueur. The true secret OF his card. i an
forced to believe, is. that having been accused
OF putting his father and writing accounts OIL
meetings he had not attended over the signature
of Dover Middleton" ETC., instead Of
denying the Sc charges, If untrue. as an Offset ht
thought TO charge ''Rathbun's law partner
with puring Rsthbun. regardless Of the truth OF
the charge. 1 have studiOusly kept aioof from
the contest, and have, heretofore, neither VIII
ten or published one word for or against any
candidate for 3 county once. The Intelligence
having published Mr.. Burdens card will please
cow this. I'D. SHEWALTER.

IN, most sangulna expectations Of his frishu''
and has. from the very outset. SO constantly
ua,ned popularity and friends from The ranks Oh
his opponents, that his election to-day Is ALMOST
Conceded. Col. Rathbun first thought to CRUSH
him by raising the war-whOop, but old orsy
came back upon him with such oonclusiVe afsu-
msuts and good natured wit, and got Tie Coio-
mel 80 completely tangled that he was soon con-
WINGED of his error. and nude great haste 10 re-
treat. In defending himself, Judge Burden oe-
Tended the democratic party, and rendered ia
great service in driving out the foolish NOTION
that war issues should elect. defeat or qualify .
,ssn for office. Col. Rsthbun alone broacheo
these matters, and threw them at the judge ana
mariana the Colonel indirectly benehted the
party in doing so. for I venture the preoictlon
that 10 completely was the skiAeo

There were but three candidates for county sur

OF the convention The number of candidates was
reduced to two, instead oil three, when i only

A CARD.

EDITOR INTELLIGKNCER:-In q card in your
Issue l stated an article signed Licking
was written by Mr.. I'D. Shewalter. j
made this statement on what seemed to me al
the time, Satisfactory evidence that Mr.. Shewai-
ter had written it. When demanded the name
OF the author Of Lexington, !" of Cspt .Lesueur.
the editor of the Intslligencer. he said he did
not know, that he found the article ON his desk.
placed there during his absence, and put 1t in
the paper thinking Mr.. Allen had received it. 1t
seems now that Mr.. Allen does not know who
left it there. Capt. Lesueur. at my suggestion,
sent for the manuscript, which. when
| had examined 1t. l Thought was in
the handwriting OF Mr.. Shewalter. and l under
stood Capt. LesusHr in the conversation about 1t
to say: 81 could safely conclude 1t was IN the
handwriting Of Mr.. Shewslter. Capt. Lesueur
says, however, that l misunderstood him. All
this 1 stated to Mr.. Shewalter. and when he in
formed me he did not write ''Lexington.'' and
that he had taken no part in the contest. l ex-
pressed. and felt sincere regret that the mistake
had occurred. as nothing was farther
from my mind than to. misrspresent any one-that
| had acted on satisfactory to me at
the time, and that would take great pleasure In
rectirying the mistake. through the Intelligence
in Its next issue. and would do all In my power
to set him right before the people; and 1 really
censure myself for having injured u man who
was not ut fault.
Mr.. shewalier expressed himself satisfied al
The time. and the last words he said to me were,
cit is all right" SO 1 supposed the whole matter
settled; but now to my astonishment comes Mr.
