OUGHT TO BE KNOWN.

trouble in this district believing, as
| we do. that all trouble is now over ;
vet there il one matter that cannot be
pasged over and should not be permit
ted to rest without further light and
information. The Eagle OF this place,
for the past two or three weeks, has
published a copy of a paper which 1t
asserted majority Of the Republican
Committee of this county had signed.
This paper set forth that the said ma
iority believed and therefore declared
that Mr.. McJunkin had "acted unwise-
lyn in declining to 90 to the so-called
Greenville Congressional Conference I;
and that the so-called nomination OF
Mr.. Miller, of Mercer county, at the
same "was a prudent measure, and
that the said majority of our County
Committee, therefore endorsed him
(Miller) as the candidate of the dis
trict,n etc. Believing that no such pa
per had ever been signed by any con-
siderable number of our County Com
mittee, much less by majority OF 1t,
we thrice denounced the assertion as
falsehood, and called for the pubttcd-
tion ofthe names of the members so
alleged as so signing No publication
of the said names came. And we heard
nothing further until at Franklin last
week. Mr. Thomas Robinson was
there. as il usual with him in attend
ing such occasions uninvited, and man
aged to get into the room in which the
State Committee were in session, and
there reiterated that such paper was
in existence and was there present.
Mr.. Newton Black, Of this place was
also there, representing as he said Mr..
Craig, chairman Of County Committee,
and sustained Mr.. Robinson's asser-
tion by getting up in the Committee
and reading of from a paper he had
the names of twenty-seyen Of our
County Committee, as signing such a
paper. He refused to show the paper
when asked for itsinspection, and when
it was denounced before the Commit
tee as not genuine or true, be finally
said it was copy Of the alleged pa
per. For the information Of the mem
bcrs Of our County Committee, whose
names we still believe were thus i'm
properly used, we give them here as
follows and as read out by Mr.. Black at
Franklin to the State Committee:

We publish the above believing that
no such paper is in existence and that
the whole thing is fraud upon some
at least of our County Committee. II
we are mistaken, any of them can have
the opportunity Of correcting US, on
the one hand, or setting themselves
rigat on the other hand Our informa.
ton has been'so very different, from sew
eral Of the members whose names appear
above, that they never signed, or au
thorized to be signed any such paper
| We have il from the mouths Of some
Of them that they never did or would
sign such paper. 1t is therefore due
to them, as well as due to the Repub-
licans Of this county, that this record
should be made in this matter. Only q
few weeks before, at the meeting oI
the County Committee, but sixteen Of
the above held any such opinions
| The Committee, as now composed, con-
sists Of f)tJ-four members. The above
twenty-seyen would therefore, at best
| be but the half Of the same and not q
majority, even if true. But the truth
ought to be known, and if a fraud has
been committed the odum and respon-
sibility for it should be traced TO and
put upon the guilty party or parties.
Other matters might be overlooked,
but this is one involving the truth and
veracity Of some Of the members Of the
County Committee, as well as the hon
esty of Mr.. Robinson and a few 9TH
ers.
