Verily t our in ighbor is a judg«* ! —■ r, r n , a ref* rt article in the Indianapolis Sentinel, it would seem as though Blaine’s libel suU has been nol prossed. John C. Shoemaker deserves a handsome reward for the vigorous efficiency he displayed in the late cairn• dun. i iie Valparaiso Messenger says ti at “John C. New and William W. Dudley have lost all interest in the United States Senatorial question. Tho Democrats have fifty-one majoiity in the Legislature on joint ballot. Thtt means Daniel Yv • Voorhees again. ♦ * The management of the Monticello Herald the Fowler Era, the Lafayette Journal, etc., etc., each havecharge of a post-office, and Mr. James was appointed to the office in this place oeforo he retired from the printing business.

We appreciate the Kind words of Bros. Huti & Voiißuskirk, oT the Montioello Herald. Many and long and sometimes fierce were our polit* ical disputes during the many yetus we were neighbors. Tney were, however, and continue to be. true gentlemen. Valparaiso Messenger :J The Republicans of tho Tenth District made their entire fight against Tom Wood. They swopped off Calkins for OweD, and, we understand, resorted to al 1 kinds of tricks to beat Wood the people’s candidate. They hated him because they feared him- — Quite a number of Democrats will make application for the uost-office at this pi. ;•*, Me-srs. Honan Bvtei and ours* if, arc announce'! so far—all clever gentlemen and good Dem ocr.its ours if isciuded, if we do say 80. It is a free to all entree, and fuir kindly efforts put forth by all, the defeated should aoeap* the reauP graceIfullv. It has been the established custom tor years to appoint editors of papers. in accord with the powers that be, to the postofflee of the town or ■elty in which they are located. Not being blessed with public printing, »uch an appointment would give more efficiency to the Sentinel in its advocuey of Democratic measures and Democratic men.

If the Delphi Times and Montleello Democrat do not let up or Bro, Me Ewen before lone: we would suggest to the injured gentlemau that be bus a remedy in court. This thing of continually ridiculing an upright and honorable citizen must bd growing iiksomo to our old frieud and neigh bor. Our advice to Mac is to go ior ’em without the slightest feeling of leniency, as their sole wlm and purpose is evidently to bring our Rensselaer contemporary iuto contempt with the whole world— Montleello flu-aid. Tut,tut, old friend Herald—forbear! Inexperienced, iticonelderate youth with a strong love for the humorous, may be plead iu extenuation of the action of our yo of the White County Dcmecrai. oopying the articles from the Times. We will say wo believe the Times was seleoU ed by certain unknown parties here, not so ranch wilh the desire to bring us ”’nto nontemr>r with tv,« whole world, K an, by th*lr reproduction in the Republican at this place, areditad to a Democratic published in a neighboring city, and to be utilized in opposing any aspirations we might have for a position to which custom indicated we would be entitled. To still further this object a couple of ‘locals’—uot original with ‘weeping George,’ as no one ever charged bim with originating any* him?— of the the same teno’’, appear in the Republi3an this week. We have never committed any c-;ime, and thereforo “ridicule” was the oniy weapon left to their baud. Laboring under, and surmounting difficulties of which we never oompiained to the public, and of which it has ro knowledge—devoted to the principles of the Democratic i arty, which we have labored to adavance lor many, long years, and to the support of its great repre.. sen*olives, is all we have been guilty of, and to which we expect to plead guilty in the futute years that may be vouchsafed to us.

Some JEtepuUieuim inciin- to tbin.c that Hon. Tom J. Wood’s not*- to ns, published last week, means that Julias abandoned the idea of contesting the claim of Mr. Owen. Mr. W, is the best man for tba place, and s o*d he become satisfied that he «’as de prlved of his election by fraud we hop he will coot st. At Harrigton Lincoln county. Oregon, forty armed men are guarding the Oourt House and will not peiinit the records to be removed until the alleged election frauds are investigated there.
