The democratic press of the state, follow
ing the lead of the Eceaing Noes, which is
animated by desire for revenge on account
of the $4,000 it was compelled 10y the su-
preme court, to pay for its libel against DR..
Mclean, is endeavoring TO prejudice the
voters of Michigan against Justice Cooley, by
charging him with being too favorable in
his opinions and decisions, toward corpora
tons. Had he been more favorable toward
the Ecening Ne1s, company, he would have
met with no opposition from that source.
None of those who bring these charges, are
able to point out anything contrary to law in
any of the decisions which they criticise, but
content themselves with vague and indefinite
statements that his decisions have favored
they were not just, upright and legal. The
charge against justice Cooley is equally a
charge against the rest of the court, as the
opinions criticised have generally been rem
dered by full bench. The voters of Van
Buren, county should remember that it was
justice Cooley's decision, concurred in by
two other members of the court, in the Sa-
lem case, that saved the taxpayers of this
county several hundred thousand dollars.
We have not been able to obtain the exact
amount of railroad aid bonds voted by the
several townships, but il was not less than
100000, and perhaps nearly half a million;
every dollar of which must have been paid,
but for that decision. AS it was the entire
amount, except $4,000, in Pine Grove,
which had been negotiated prior to the decis-
ion, was saved TO the people of this county.
more recent instance of a decision in favor
of individuals as against a corporation. was
the judgment of justice Cooley and his asso-
cates in the matter OF the railroad notes
given in aid of the road from this village to
Lawrence There is no foundation for this
demagogical cry against justice Cooley, and
those who raise it are well aware of that
fact, and very carefully refrain from point
ing out any specific instances of unrighteous
or illegal decisions.

Lawrence Chronicles.

And it came TO pass during the first week
of the reign of the great King Grover, that,
according TO the customs OF the people of
the city of Lawrence, in the valley of the
Paw Paw, the inhabitants thereof assembled
together to take counsel. one with another,
concerning who should he chosen to rule
over the city; for, according to the usages of
the people, the rulers of the city were chosen
by ballot from among the inhabitants thereof,
in the spring time of every year.
Albeit the man who had ruled over the
city was one of the wise men thereof, and n
healer of the sick, he was, withal, great
lover of place and of power. And he be-
thought himself of divers devices by which
he might secure the suffrages of the people.
and thus extend his lease of power And it
came to pass that his anxiety waxed exceed
ingly strong, and he became sorely afraid
that he might not continue TO be held in
high favor. Now therefore, it came 10 pass
that, by reason of such anxiety, he said to
himself, il / can but accomplish this, the de-
sire of my heart, / shall not only bring honor
10 myself and TO my house, but all the peo-
pie shall bow down before me. And he walked
about the city as one crazed, and he besought
the workmen in their shops, the idlers in the
streets, the halt and the lame, to cast their
votes for him as chief ruler of the city. AL
most, was ho ready to say, like the tempter
of old, "All this will give unto thee, if thou
wilt fall down and worship me-"
And it came to pass that the people were
divided among themselves, and some said,
ave will no longer have this man to rule
over US, but we will choose another wise
man, who is also healer of the sick as our
chief magistrate. Now, be il known. the
opposing forces must needs meet in conflict,
to determine by their votes which of the two
great healers should rule over the people.
Therefore, il came TO pass, that the chief ruler
called the people together, great assemblage
Of all the tribes, captains of companies, the
stewards, likewise the mighty men of vslor.
And they arose early in the morning, and
grit their loins round about, aud went forth
TO do battle. Moreover, the chief ruler said
unto his loyal subjects, Have respect, there
fore, unto these, the words of Thy chief ruler,
and hearken unto his voice. And he said
unto them, Let not any man deceive YOU,
nor persuade You, neither believe his words,
for viii not let this people go f: nor is there
any man able to deliver this people out of
my hands," "Hear we me, and We shall not
need to fight this battle. hut Sit yourselves
stand We still, fear not, nor be We dismsyed.-
I" BE We strong. therefore, and let not your
knees be weak, for, verify, say unto you, We
shall be rewarded, and shall be again pro-
claimed chief ruler Of the city"
Now therefore, when the People had gotten

GOLDEN SEAL BITTERS are the
great blood purifier, liver and kidney rem
edy and life-giving principle, a perfect
renovator and invigorator of the system,
carrying away all poisonous matter and
restoring the blood to healthy condition,
enriching it, refreshing and invigorating
both mind and body. They are easy OF
administration, prompt in their action,
certain in their results, safe and reliable in
all forms of disease. Every moment of our
lives, every part of our bodies, is wearing
out and is being built up anew. This work
is accomplished by the blood. The blood,
if pure, makes the entire circuit of the
body every seven minutes. But if it be-
comes weak or vitiated and does not perform
its work properly the system is actually
poisoned by the worn-out matter clogging
the vital organs instead of leaving the body.
Cleanse the blood whenever you find its inn
purities bursting through the skin in
pimples, eruptions, sores, etc. Keep the
liver in order, the blood pure, health of the
system will follow. Take GOLDEN SEAL

themselves together unto the appointed place,
they began TO cast their ballots, into the Kings
treasure box, according to the custom of the
city. Now, be II known that when the sun
arose high in the heavens, the treasure box
must be sealed up with the great seal of tho
city, that none might interfere Herewith
while each member of the tribes should par
take of his midday meal. And it came to
pass that the chief ruler, who was almost
beside himself with fear of the mighty throng
of his enemies bethought himself to take the
treasure box to his own citadel, for the pre-
servation thereof. And behold, he did, in the
presence of the multitude, securely fasten the
box with bolts and bars, and did deliver the
keys thereof to his private counselor, and the
same was borne away to the citadel. More
over, in past times, it had been the custom,
as well as the law of the city, that the open
ing in the lid of the treasure box should DO
securely sealed with the great seal, but, be it
known, that this law was disregarded, and
when certain of the valiant men did speak Of
this matter, the chief ruler proclaimed in a
loud voice. Il, myself, did lay book over the
opening" Therefore, inasmuch as the chief
ruler did so proclaim, such must be the in
depreciation of the law concerning the great
seal of the city, now, henceforth and forever
fAho bchofu, ~ tiic oPpoiitSo uouI,
the conflict did once more begin, and as the
day waKed old, and the sun sank low in the
western sky, the anxiety of the chief ruler
waxed stronger and still more strong, until
he fain would unbolt the treasure box before
the appointed hour, so that the learned men
of the city might begin their numbering of
the ballots before the close of the conflict.
But it came to pass that the wise men, who
were in council with the chief ruler, would
not permit the numbering to begin until the
appointed time.
And it came to pass, that when the treas
ure box was opened, and the ballots that had
been cast were numbered, the chief ruler
was victorious and was proclaimed King of
the city. And they did eat and drink, and
make themselves merry, with gladness and
exceeding great JOY. Happy is the King, and
happy are his servants who stand continually
before him, and listen to the words of wis
dom which fall from his lips.
Now the rest OF the deeds of the King of
the city, and the chief ruler thereof, behold
they are not written in the book of Chroui-
cles.

I'm Honor OF Treason.

The closing of the interior department, on
the 26th ult., as mark of respect for the
memory of Jacob Thompson, who was al
the head of that department under Buchan-
an, is forcible reminder that the confeder
ates have captured the capital. Jake Thomp
son was IA traitor, an unrepentant rebel. He
was not a citizen of the United States, having
never resumed his allegiance TO the govern
ment. He was leader in the confederacy
and will be remembered as the man to whom
was delegated the diabolical work of import
ing infected rags into the North for the pur.
pose of spreading contagious diseases and
destroying the lives of the wives and chill
dren of those who were fighting the battles
of their country. He was also the chosen
leader of the band of incendiaries that was
organized for the burning of northern cities
That the flag of the Nation should hang al
half mast, and a governmental department
be closed in honor to the memory of man
like Thompson, is a shame and disgrace to
the country. 1t is the first time in our his
tory that such mark of respect has been
shown for the memory of traitor. What if
the old arch traitor, JEFF. Davis, who was
once a department secretary, should happen
TO die during democratic administration;
Would the Nation be expected to mournG

War between England and Russia seems
almost inevitable. A conflict between those
countries will be quite likely-to involve other
European nations. War is a terrible thing,
and general conflict between the nations of
the old world would be a deplorable event,
and great misfortune 10 mankind. Let us
be thankful that our government will be in
no wise responsible for IL, and that we shall
not be involved in the contest. 1t is a
barbarous method of settling national dis
putes. No one would be justifiable in hop
ing for war, or rejoicing over armed strife.
Nevertheless, should there be a foreign war
it will necessarily be of pecuniary advantage
10 the people of the United States. If ar
mics must fight, it is well for US that the
fighting is to be done on the other side of
the water, and that what is a lamentable ca
lamity for other nations, must prove source
of profit and prosperity to our own country.

honestly attempts 10 carry out its pledges by
voting with practical unanimity for the sub
mission of the prohibitory amendment, while
ON the other hand, the opposition party votes
almost solidly against ii, they can but BIO con-
WINGED that the one party is fairly entitled to
the confidence and aid of honest advocates
of the temperance cause, and that, on the
other hand, the other party is equally deseiv-
ing of their opposition and condemnation.
1t is natural and entirely consistent that
republicans and prohibitionists should vote
the same ticket. Indeed, there ought never
to have been any separation between them,
and the sooner they unite under one banner,
the better it will be for the cause of temper
ance.
If our opponents wish to find inconsist-
ency, let them look at home, at their own
combination Of homogeneous clements, hard
money men and soft money advocates, agita-
tors, socialists, and other political odds and
ends, possessing not single principle in
common, and animated only by the one
desire to accomplish the defeat of the repub-
lican party and to share in the spoils of Office.
OF all the inconsistent political movements
ever originated in this nation, none was ever
composed of so many Incompatible, incon-
gruous and contradictory elements as is the

Next Monday is election day. II the re-
publicans of this township feel the interest
they ought, in the success of their excellent
candidates, they can elect their local ticket
against all opposition; if the primary meet
ings are attended as they should be, and
proper care exercised in the selection of can
didates, and republicans attend the polls and
vote, and do not allow themselves to be di-
verted by any side issues, the next board of
supervisors of this county will be largely re-
publican; il the republicans of Michigan are
alive to the importance of the contest before
them, they will carry the state 10y decisive
majority. Remember that the prestige of
victory now will be worth thousands of votes
to the party at the next biennial election.

Political Inconsistency.

All the fusion newspapers in the state are
teeming with articles concerning what they
are pleased TO term the inconsistency of the
republican and prohibition parties support
ing the same candidate for justice of the SUI

the fact that republicans condemned the
course of the prohibitionists, in endeavoring
to defeat the candidates of the republican
