We had the pleasure Of call

Yesterday morning we said that

overheard Mr.. Ramsey say that it
would lie Ike stealing 10 accept

cncc was that under the circum-
STANCES. he the editor Of thu Pro
gr.*2ivs Iarmor always bitterly cp-
posed to the Republican party feit
tl:at he would /. receiving an
amount Of money hat liz con-
science repudiatcd but it seems
that, from Mr.. Ramsey's state
mont to u, he has no consci.n-
tious scrapics i'll receiving the
nice little sal:ry, but lie maintains
that the cmiasary put a wrong in
depreciation upon the expression
used. He does not deny saying
that "to accept the salary would
be like stealing," but he says lie
meant as editor Of the Progress I've
Farmer, and 10 remain as such
without attending to his official
duties strictly, that tie drawing
of his salary would be like steal
ing, hence lie was he:itating abou;
accepting tie po.sition, but he IL
forms ,!a that he solved the prob.
lem. He proposes to set up Off.
cial quarters and attend to his Off.
