Our Candidates.

MCMEEKIN, Sept. 2S, 1856.
Special Cor. espondence Falatka NEWS.
Noticed, a few days ago, in an edito-
rial in THE NEWS, that in the remarks of
Mr.. Fowler, in a speech or letter of ac-
ceptance of the nomination for State
Senator. he made an allusion to DIR. Nc
Meekin which was entirely uncalled for.
As 1 have not seen the article, l was in
duced to make some inquiry as to the re-
marks. Ii appears that DE-. McMeekin,
in speaking about his orange grove, said
that he noticed the appearance OF a
small back bug on few of his trees.
To this the gentleman made allusi On,
and said that on the I'd day OF Novem-
ber next Dr. McMeekin will be troubled
with many black bugs.
He is only afraid that some of his bugs
will desert him on that day, and cast
their votes for DR.. McMeekin; for | can
not imagine what else he means, unless
it is the colored Republicans, who no
doubt will be his main support.
DIR. McMeekin stands too high in the
estimation of the people of Putnam
county to allow him 10 be defeated. He
does not stand in need of the iron horse
to send him to Tallahassee. We, the
Democratic party, have sent him there
more than once, and will send him there
again. There will not he a harder work
er for the interests of his county and
State.
Mr.. Philip Prioleau. Sr., whom have
known from my early youth, is gen
tleman of rare talent, descendant of
that good old stock, the French Hugue-
not, who emigrated to South Carolina
many long years ago; lis as true Demo-
crat as we have, "A good lawyer, and is
not without experience in the Legislative
halls. Comparatively speaking, he is
not much known over the county, but
in the canvassing of the county he will
make many friends.
Mr.. Henry Hutchinson, L believe, Is a
native of this State, and from what |
can learn, is a gentleman of cOnsidera-
BILE business habits. Out here in District
IL we will give him welcome hand
when he comes among us. We expect
to vote the whole ticket, and send all the
Democratic candidates to their seats,
both at Washington and Tallahassee.
Mr.. Fowler ne, Il not cast any slurs on
DIR. McMeekin, or any other Democratic
candidate, for The V are men of superior
talent to Mr.. Fowler. and none of his
slurs can in anywise hurt them.

1t is astonishing how some of your

and turned over to the treasurer on the
Ist of March, 1856, say 100000, was a
surplus.
This very large sum, $1,000, has to
meet the running expenses of the county
for some five months, to the 1st of Feb
ruary, 1887, taking say $4,000 of it ST.
600 of it is still due on the new Jail ; a
term of court is to be held next month,
probably an expensive one, which, to-
gether with two or three bridges that are
to be built, will leave very little, if any,
surplus in the treasury. IL there should
be none, then the wheels of government
would be at stand-still, for under the
law the county commissioners can not
spend more money than they collect /;
any scrip issued in excess OF that amount
is null and void.

The CampbeII Case.

LosDoS, December 1S.-In the Camp

was absurd to suppose that Lady Colin
would have brought her charges against
Lord Colin into court. when by &C
ceding 10 his request 10 ,habi', she
might have shielded her guilt and pre-
vented inquiry. The whole case against
Lady Colin, he said, rested upon the
gossip Of servants, cabmen and stable
men.
LONDON, December ls.-Sir Charles
Russell. counsel for Lady Colin Camp
pelI. made his closing argument in the
Campbell divorce suit to-day. he said
he knew that Lord Colin charged his
wife with adultery, but he had been
unaware, until he neard defendant
counsel making his closing argument,
that the husband also charged his vile
with perjury and subOrnation OF per-
Jury. Lord Colin and his counsel had
displayed acrimOny unparalleled. II
their charges against Lady Colin were
true, they would place her on level
with the commonest prostitute. Lord
Colin was only the Youngest son in the
