COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FAors, NOT Pohlruos.

The Grand Army Gazette. which is
edited by wounded Union soldier, and
published in the interests of the SOL
diers, is Disguised with the falsehoods
circulated regarding the attitude Of the
Administration to the old soldiers and
says,
eve only desire to give that which is
susceptible Of the highest proof, the alb
solute official records which neither
party can gainsay, which no one but a
malicious partisan will dare to deny.
Mendacity has run rampant in assaults
against the present Administration, SIM
ply because it is Democratic, through
untruthful statements published con-
corning the pension lmws and the gener-
al treatment of the soldier claims.
against this we cry haiti Truths
are truths, and lies fail against them,
however handiIy aud hardly hurled.
These assaults are rot warranted by any
figures aud the record proves them erro-
neous in every particular. In another
column, for the benefit of our comrades,
we publish the last report Of Gen John
G. Black, the present wothy Commits
Bioner of Pensions. ending with the fs-
cal year in June last. Gen. Black is
an cd soldier himself, a wounded veter-
an, a man who feels heartily, kindly
toward these who served In our great
armies. His briLtlng figures tell q
story that no amount of chicanery can
estop from their full effect. They
make history that must appeal to
every loyal heart, and give evidence OF
the strenuous exertions which this ad-
ADMINISTRATION is making in behalf of
soldiers rights and soldiers pensions
"The one.sided, partisan press of the
country, led by the notorious claim
agent at Washington and the demago-
CUES of the rostrun, are endeavoring to
make the public believe, and even the
old soldier himself, their widows and
their orphans, that they are the most
abused class of people in this or any
other country; that their pensions are
being stopped; that they are being re-
duced in amount; that ex-Union SOL
diers are being removed from Office
that all positions ara being filed by
those who were not in the service; aud
that sinecures are being offered to those
who opposed us during the war. In
fact. if assertions were truths, and mis-
statements were records, the nation is
going to the bloody bow-wows. The
records prove the falsity of every state
ment made concerning the soldier and
his general welfare, in every connec-
ton, and fine Gazette, the oldest SOL
diers' paper in the country, is not afraid
to state the case as it really is, and then
ask for honest judgment"

TILE KERR TRIAL.

The trial OF Kerr has excited comparatively little
pubiic interest This is due in a measure undonDt-

On the brbe-gvers side of the conspiracy public notice
was monopollzed by Jacob Sharp, and the question
that interested the public whether or not It was
possible IN this town TO punish rich. cunning OLD
lobbyist and gang Of political brlgands. This idea
was limited by Judge Barrett when he charged the
Jury In Jaehne's that the administration Of Justice
as well as the prisoner was on trial before them
When he came TO Jaehne. he spoke plainly of
the spirit scepticsm that abroad TO the ability

HOW NEAL Dow INTERPRETED AN ORDER

From The Chicago Times.
There was once an occasion in which Neal Dow was
n very noticeable figure. 1t was early In the war.
His army corps had been brought up preparatory 10
forming for battle. General Dow was one OF parIy
Of lesser officers who had been called around the corp
commander for Instructions He was, as one OF the
boys said, all hat, boots and sword He was NerS
small man and wore hat with an enormous brm, y
pair Of boots that tapped above the knee. and sWofu
that changed the ground away behind him -
General Dow SAID the commander. want you

facing that line Of woods
Now, General p asked Dow.
d" At once
In moment the army saw little General Dow
tramping OFF toward the hillock alone, and word was
passed along explaining the mistake he had made.
The shouts of laughter attracted the commander ;
attention. and he sent an orderly after General DOW
When the little returned the commander asked:
General Dow. what did you understand me 10
direct yOu 10 do y 49,,

woods sir -,

The commander kindly set him right and General
Dow finally took his command TO the hilock but the
boys in that corps never got through talking and
laughing about the time " Little Neal DOVE set out
alone 10 hold the hillock against the rebel army.

The same man spoke about the business interest
as factor in politics In novel way. The average
business man in NewYork,' said he is reliant for
credit and consequently for bis sustenance either
banks importers or manufacturers BY far the great.
err number of business men get their credit with ono
or the other of the great classes Of tradesmen,
who In their turn are dependent on the banks Thus
the banking interest TO certain extent controls the
entire business interest. This is true however, only
when business along smoothly without crisis.
When crisis comes, the business man is independent
Of the banks because he knows that they have no
profits without him, and that he must be the Judge
OF what policy will best advance his business SUCH
crisis is here now, the tariff ISSUE The division
among business men will come principally along the
lines Of their credits, whether they sell more largely
American or foreign goods. The manufacturers and
those dependent on them viii desire protective tariff
The importers and those dependent on them will
want free trade The banks whose patrons are manu-
facturers Will advocate protection, and contrarwise.

the knowledge that this city Is the pivotal point In
