NOTICE OF CONTEST
Formally Given Hon. John o. Pendleton,
by G. ". Atkinson.

Formally Given Hon. John o. Pendleton,
by G. ". Atkinson.
G. W. Atkinson, late Republican candi-
date for Congress in this district, yester-
day eeryed upon Hon. John O. Pendleton
his formal notice Of contest. The docu-
ment is in the regulation form, ard sets
forth, in detail, the names of about three
hundred parsons in the district who are
alleged 10 have cast an unlawful ballot for
Mr.. Peudleton, at the late election. OF
these three hundred, about one-half, CT
one hundred snd fifty, are located in Ohio
county, and number of citizens will be
more or less ratified when they make
the discovery that their names are
down upon Mr.. Atkinsons little
list. The notice was served upon Mr..
Pendleton about seven o'clock last evening,
and T. presents all that Mr.. Atkinson can
possibly do in the way of making case,
so far as allegations of illegal votes are
concerned. He can add nothing to this
list. Mr.. Pendleton has thirty days in
which to answer, and then Mr.. Atkinson
hiss forty days in which to
t4ke testimony, and Mr.. Pendleton
follows with the same interval of time.
In his answer Mr.. Pendleton can deny
generally and particularly all that Mr..
Atkinson alleges, and can also file a coun-
ter charge, all of which will be done in due
season.
There are some rather peculiar things in
Mr.. Atkinson's notice, which are by no
means confined to Ohio county and of
which We will have more to say st anoth-
or time.

DIR Ulrich and His Promises.

To nc Editor OF me Re0tsteT:
SIR:-Dr. Ulrich, now that he is cam
didate before the people, displays publicly,
great love for the soldier He wants coun-
Gil to prefer, these veterans in the future.
II / remember rightly he was one
of the Lincoln club caucus crowd
who turred down Tom Bennett, (af-
ter promising HIM for WoEkhouse
keeper, and reelected topper at
the suggestion of the City Solicitor. This
is nice kind OF scheming baseness. When
the rirg crowd have anything to give out
they slap the old soldiers in the face; when
there is nothing TO give and their votes are
wanted this ring is profuse with promises.
What sublime cheek to attempt to bid for
the old colder vote in this way?
Will the old soldier be capght in such q
trap? We trust not. OLD 5.

FREDERICK bryton III Forgiven.
OF this new play and actor, to be seen
and heard at the Opera House tomorrow
evening, the New York Times says:
"Forgiren" has more distinct merit than
is percephble in most plays of the same
type. lis story is told with simplicity and
directness, its scenes are carried on amid
such picturesque surroundings as never
fail to gratefully impress the eye, and bits
of comedy of kind that invariably sp-
peals to a popular assemblage, alternate
with pathos that stirs with unfailiDg
swiftness, the emotions of the throng
AS Jack Diamond, Mr.. Bry ton
appealed to the sympsthies of all. He
was recalled at the end of each act, and
recalled with heartiness ard spontaneity
which were unmistakeable.
