NEw MARTiSsviLLs, Oct. e7.-At
Young Mr.. Pendleton" Is 10 speal
four times in this county his week
Wctzel county people dcsirc to sugges
to him that be will bs expected to ex.
plain and answer tho following propo'
sitions and queries: y
1.-THE original count OF the vote in
Upper Green and Archer's Fork pre-.
cinct was correct and George W. Akin.
son really receivedl25 votes at the for.
nes and l5S votes at the latter precinct,
then Mr.. Pendleton's statement thai
there ''ls u cloud upon Mr.. Atkinson'a
title 10 sseat in Congress-" ia untrue
and hopeless. And that Mr.. Atkinson
did receive la5 votes in Upper Green
district Is proven by tho sworn testi.
mony OF Messrs. A. B. Straight, Thomas
H. Allen. John r. Woods, William Wy.
Let "ca W. II, Parks, election officers,
who .estilied positively that the count
was correct, as well as by tho sworn
statement Of l24 Republicans and one
Democrat, who said positively that they
voted for George W. Atkinson in Upper
Green precinct.
Will John O. pendleton dart to ssy
that those election officers, majosit Ct
whom voted for him, and those 1875
other citizsns OF Upper Green district
committed perjury in 80 testifying Or
will he even attempt 10 say OF the les,
as he did OF the men in Church, Clay
aud Grant districts, who swore that they
voted for R. E. L. Snodgrass in the pri-
mary election, that "they didn't know
what they were swearing tnp"
The situation at Archer Fork precinct
is precisely similar to that Of Upper
Green, aud the young man will bo ex.
pected to answer similar questions ii. re.
gard to the l5S men OF Grant district
who swore that they voted for George
W. Atkinson, aud the five election oil.
GERS who also testified that Mr.. Atkin-
son wss entitled to the 15S votes which
the original count gave him. Will he
also dafe to say that these men OF Grant
district we're guilty OF perjury, or will
be repeat what he said to Squire Cu,ick
nv bu' w.. 4oh w you kuUW tuht
those afiidasits are rot lies?"
With the charitable feeling people a..
ways have Tor thcee upon whom nature
has placed Ii, stamp of deficiency in
reasoning faculties, your correspondent
would suggest to the young man when
he co,aes 70 this county that he consult
With suoh Democrats as Hon. Nobt. Me-
E'downey, Sep Hall, Il. Robinson, n
K. Morris, Jos. Clark, W. NJ. G. Hall, or
any other reputable Democrat OF the
county who will apprehend that thcre
is not a respectable !Democra. in Il .
county who is not thoroughly conrinred
that be, Pead!eton, was the benz hclary
OF a crime when no received his cert.G
cate OF elecsion aud pocketsd 81, 900 al.

Aud It the yo1iS man ia as honest as
he claims to be, il he does not ahaodon
