Had the county election been held
on the day OF the general election, it
would have been necessary to elect a
short term as we'll rs a long term

on the 18th, after the general election,
there is but one treasurer to elect.
All the officers elected on that day
serve only until after the next gener-

1886. \ full set Of county officers
are then elected, if we mistake not.

Gen. Grant has soreness and swelling at
the back of the tongue which has caused
some apprehension lest he may have cancer
of the tongue similar to that which caused
the death Of Ben Hill of Georgia. AT the
time when physician was called last Sep
TENDER the General swallowed and spoke with
difficulty, but the trouble has since yielded
materially to treatment. The doctors thought
that the Generals excessive smoking agra
waited the trouble, and ordered him TO smoke
only the first half of a cigar three times dali
ly. or his own accord he cut down his hab
it of smoking from ~ to 10 cigars daily to
half Of one cigar a day. He continued this
for week, and then ceased smoking alto
gether until Christmas. Christmas morning
he lit cigar but had only taken two pufT5
when he recollected that he had gone two
months without smoking and threw the cigar
away, determined to stop the habit altogeth.

II. +. IL. OUT FOR Some Fun.

Gen. Butler has brought libel suit for
$50, 900 against the Boston Herald for an ar
ticle published in the fall of 1888 rejecting
on his war record. The article was signed
by "An Old Salt aud purported to be writ.
ten by one of the crew of the steam trans.
port Mississippi, which conveyed Gen. But
Ter and 800 troops from Hampton Roads to
Ship Island in 1862. The occasion was the
expedition against New Orleans. The writer
alleged that Butler became angry with the
captain of the transport because he did not
put into Hstteras on the night of Feb 20
that he put the captain in irons, himself as
Stunning command and that because of his
high-handed and ignorant course the ship
the next morning struck upon Frying Pan
Shoals, was badly damaged, and all on board
narrowly escaped death. The article further
charges that Butler had several barrels of
liquor among his private stores on board. and
that he permitted the soldiers to become
drunk thereon when the vessel seemed DOOM
ed. Buffers counsel in the case saws that
the General has peculiar ideas on the matter
OF arraigning the record of any man who is
running for office. He believes that il a man
puts himself before the public as a candidate
for any public Office the newspapers have
right to assail his record or his character as
savagely as they wish, and statements under
such circumstances are not libelous unless
they charge staie-prison offences. In this
case the campaign was over, he was not run
ming for any office, and so there was no ex-
cuse for the attack upon his record or his
character. Moreover, the General is very
sensitive about his war record. 1t is evident
that 1.-THE old man" means to have little fun
with the Herald, aud, il possible, get even
with it for the ugly and relentless fight which
It has made against him in his last two cam
paigns.
