LET the search for the meanest
man on earth cease. The individual
who used the wart on his neck for
collar button, and the one who pas
tured the goat on his mothers
grave, are gentlemen compared with
the man who sends his newspaper
back to the editor with refusal"
written on it, when he owes years OF
subscription.
THE recent Republican League at

est and largest club in the State.
How much strength and impetus
does such action give to the forma-

ness. Then, our kind friend John

THE National VieU, Major Lee
Crandall's Washington paper, is one
of our most esteemed and valuable
exchanges. The editor believes that
the money question is the main
source of any country's prosperity,
and that prompt issuance of green
backs by the government, will bring
happiness and wealth to the people.
We think he is about right. The
Vaeao's clippings, editorials and COM
munications, are pointed and full of
information and common sense. We
wish the editor, personally, increased
success, and the fulfillment of his
wishes.
