FOR CLE II SUPREME COURT, CORNELIUS O'BRIEN, of Dearborn FOR REPORTER SUPREME COURT, M. C. KERR, of Floyd. WHO'S "TKOl'IILED"? Under the head of 'troubled our revered friend and admirer, in his last issue, discoursed very voluminously. When he wrote that word 'troubled, he was thinking of the situation he had gotten himself into, by prematurely attacking Mr. Packard for things that Mr. Corbalcy, the Republican ex-Clerk, was guilty of to a much greater extent than the objctl of his wrath. He did this because he thought he had found "a good thing for the Republican party," and never dreaming that any body would give the true statement of the nutter. In as brief a manner as possible, we gave to our readers, in our issue of the 15;h, what wc thought were the facts in t!ie case, and that our neighbor regards them as being such, is evinced Iy the long ami pointless article he has written as an answer to our artk-lc referred to. H-j occupied almost an entire column, in mall type, before he approximated toward a point. His object was undoubtedly to divert the mind of the readei from the plain statement of lac s, which he says are stubborn things, and ha3 tri. I to cover them up by long, complex and complica cJ sentences, that he could scarcely read so as to bo understood. This was not done because he could not luve been more explicit, but because this style suited him better. In short, it was just the arti' le he wanted to write, and we congratulate him on his succes ful effort. Tod' both he and our rcade-s justice, wc quote all the arguments he made in the whole productien. Some other of his remarks in regard to ourf elf we may notice elsewhere. "Here is the point, friends." as lus friend Fuller would sav, and we hope our readers will keep a sharp look out for i t, for fear it will be like all this last named gentleman's "points" that he is always "pointing at, but nwbody tees, but, we digress "here s the point": All that the Democrat says about Mr. Corbaley's indebtedness may or may not le true for all that wc know. Upon inquiry wc learn that something ovtv four hundred dollars have be n found standing against him, up to this time, hut that he claims that some of the it-ms in the Iit are erroneous, that the records of the office show that the monev was never in his hands, and that for the most of the balance he has vouchers in bis possession. When ihe true amount of his indebtedness is ascertained wc shall not be hack ward about statin" it . 'llie reason we did net speak of the matter sooner was because nothing definite was known con- j ccrning it. Murh might be urged in extenuation of Mr. Corbaley's neglect to pav over monies in his hands as the law requires, which cannot in justiee be rged in rcjrar.l to his successor's neglect. Mr. Corbalcy wns unceremoniously and unexpectedly driven out of his oifi'-e while claiming that he still hid nineteen months to serve under his commission, and consequently had no opportunity to accitiin how much was in his hands that the law required him to pay over to the County Treasurer, and when he af terwards sought an opportunity to asceitain the amount, as well as the amounts in his hands belonging to different persons, he was told bv Mr. Packard that he would rather he would take a different course. That if he would Hop the investi iation he ( P) would pay the amounts the records might show were in hi 'hands when called for by th' proper persons, and he (C) might afterwards pay him. This is Mr. Corbalcv's explanation which wc give in justice to him. Mr. Taekard, on the other hand, had due notice to quit, and had ample time to nuke out and lile with the Treasurer of the county a complete list of all the fines, jury fees and unclaimed witness fees in his possesMon, as the law positively required. He failed to do so. Was not this an extraordinary o:nisionfor"the best Clerk Marshall County ever had" to be guilty of ? JVjt, says the Democrat, the charge that Mr. Packard had "retained unlawfully, fees ond monies received by him while Clerk," is "a maliciotn misrepresentation, for we are informed that the law allows the Clerk to retain such monies and settle up his own affairs." His informant, like himself, we presume never rend the law. He virtually acknowledges what we stated to be true, but first h.td to say it might or might not be true, aul they had to say that "something over four hundred dollars had len found standin" against" Mr. Corbaley, but claims that "some of the items in the list are erroneous," and that the records of the office show that the money was never in hu hands. If th record does not show that it was in his haiidj what does? Look at this fabrication. He first says that over 400$ have been found standing against him; secondly, that the records arc crr neous;aiid thirdly, that the records of the office bhow that the money was never in his bands!! Tins does not need nnv comment. If the contradiction is not plain enough to be seen, it isbecnusc the reader does not want to see, and these are the blindest people that ever did live. The record was found to have over $ 100 mgninst him, ami the reettrd showed that the money had never been in his hands. We think this '13 "an argument deduced from highly ol jectionable logical premises," as lie elegantly said of our article. Wenhould think that Mr. Corbnley would be preientingthse receipt, and vouchers, and have the matter straightened up, get the proper credits ort the record and he done.with the matter. However, this is no business of ours, but we thintv itftrange that ho doea not. Our friend and admirer says that wh in he finds out the amount of Mr. Corbaley's indebtedness, lie will not be slow in stating it. We fear that he m ill not get it very poon, and if he doea at all it will probably be after m Itters are straightened up as well as possible, for,' by the partial course he has taken betwren these.tno gentlemen, he has given us room to think that he will make itjiut as black as he can for Mr. Packard, and just as white as he can for Mr. Corbaley. No person who can read, is so dull of perception that they cannot pee that it w all gortdt up for political purposes, el?e, why did trie republican Hoard of Commissioners entirely overlook (we don't mean look or.er,) the record of Mr. Corbaley and examine that of Mr. Packard; and who does not believe that, had it not been referred to by the Democrat, that the Republican would have ever mentioned thnt Mr ('orhalcy was at all inarrears? As to the neglect f his successor, this Is the merest fabrication, for who does not know that the editor of the Republican would be the last individual to expose the smallest neglect as an attempt to 'inbezzle. This i" nothing. He says that Corbaley was unceremoniously driven out of the office. This U no excufe, as his agnt, ?. B. Corbaley, for month aflr

LorbaifY to stop searching the record, is a fal?e-1 he o I, and has no foundation in truth, whatever. - ; Vhat diff.cc did it i..ake to Mr. Packard how j long Mr. Corbaley looked at his own record? and doe, any man, who is acquainted with both these '. gentlemen, believe for one moment that Packard : would have paid money out of his own pocket, and j then looked to Corbalcy for it? Not one. ' bo far as Mr. Packard is concerned, he has never failed to pay over moneys when demanded and has never refused to settle with those to whom he he owed fees, or whos fees he had in his jmsscssion. On the other hand Mr. Corbaley has scarcely ever paid over when called on. We suppose, because he could net, and not because he had undertaken to wrong any person. This is the difference between the two ex-clerks; and again, we ask, what have they to blow about? We want somebody to tell us how much he makes out of the folloxviii". 'rem the Revised Statutes, for his friend Corbalev? j We repeat, that what is wrong in one man, as an j officer, is also wrong in another. Here is the law referred to: AN ACT Providing for the Election of Clerks of the Circuit Court and Prescribing some of their Duties. Sec. 7. Such Clerk, on or bofore the first day of January of each ycai. shall make out and file with the Treasurer of the county, a complete list of all lines, jury fees and witness fees which have remained unclaimed for one year, assessed during the preceding year, the amount collected, and of whom, to the truth of which he shall take and subscribe an oath to be thereto attached and adniinis tend by said Treasurer; and shall pay to said Treasurer, upon the receipt thereof , all money so collected; and shall make out a copy of such list, in like mannersworn to and filed with the county Auditor, who thall enter the same on the Order book of the Board of Count v Commissioners. Chap. 5, 18 2d Vol Rev Stat' Read carefully the following and closing paragraph, and say if it is not one of the very flattest things you ever saw Democrats more to blame , ,. i i . ... compel him to pay over?" Right here whv did 1 not the Republican Board look over his record and j "compel him to pay over," instead of orr-look-ing it? So far as Mr. Corbaley's neglect is concerned the Democratic ex-ofllcers are more to blame than he is. Why did they not examine into his affairs and compel him to pay over? Because they neglected their duty they think the Republican officers ought te exhibit the same indifference to the interests of the people, and arc angry and abusive be cause they will not. SECTIOlXslf. It is persistently denied by the members f the Republican party, that theirs is a scctioral party. Tins is the greatest of nonsense, as all the facts in the case go to prove the reverse, as may be seen by stating a few of them. The Helper book was endorsed by all the prominent men of the party fi8 of the representatives in Congress and by many of the most prominent Republican papers throughout the country. So far as this infamous work is concerned, ail our readers are advised of its contents by extracts we have been publishing forsomc time past. It is denied that the Republicans of this State and district are sectional, and there is not a man in this district who pretends to belong to the opposition, but what voted for Schuyler Colfax, who is one of the "sixty-eight" that endorsed this look, and not one man that is now a prominent Republican of this district but what would vote for him again, as being the expoponent of their political sentiments. They deny being abolition, which is equivalent to disunion or sectional in sentiment, but endorse this book, whose author has cooly sat down and estimated the strength of the two sections of the country, and then in the same paragraph states that tkey are wedded to their purpose, and that no earthly power can divert them from it that they "WILL ABOLISH SLAVERY AT ALL HAZARDS." Tliis sentiment, of itself, is enough to damn any party that endorses it, and men that support the opposition hereafter, are practically abolitionists, no matter how much they may detest the idea of being called by that name. What should a mere denial have credit for, wheD they are acting to the contrary? Any man that votes for Colfax hereafter endorses his political actions and sentiments, and virtually endorses fiie thief Helper, and when they endorse him or his book, they have also approved of old John Brown's traitorous and murderous plot at Harper's Ferry; and when they endorse him, then they arc ready for anything in the fhapo of treason and bloodshed. This is where they stop at, and nothing short of it gives their destination, if they continue to follow these smooth-tongued gentlemen who prate about their love for their country and its institutions, where they think it policy to do so, but who heartily endorse sentiments that, if carried out would soon destroy this confederacy and make our country desolate with war and bloodshed. The course of these designing men is onward, and their aim sectionalism, and consequently disuidon; and everything they say to the contrary is only to get the support of honest men who will not knowingly support sue h doctrines, but when they get the nowr mey win use it. ui this, all mav rest assu red. rn" While down at Plymouth the other evening, at the concert, a friend, sitting bv us, pointed out to us the Editor of the Plymouth Democrat. From a careful scrutiny of Iiis 1 hysiognomy, weset him down as just such an individual as would steal away from a place "leticctn two days," and wc advise the people of that thriving place tobe on their guard. It certainly happened very convenient that the Wabash Valley Railroad ran anight train through the village of Huntington a few months ago. Does the "Scald" take ?" . The above is from the Lake City Commercial, published by one Williams, who after selling out the office of the Northern India nan to a brother Republican, in the course of a few months started another Republican paper in the same place for the purpose of injuring the business of the gentleman to whom he sold out, and to make something to keep his small soul and pusillanimous carcass together. We, too, attended the concert refercd toby Williams and without the aid of any friend selected Williams as the individual who was capable of doing as we have stated he did do with his successor of the Indianan. He is the embodiment of everything that is small small in stature and incomparatively small in principle,as in evidenced not only b7 the course he has persued toward Mr. Mugg,but the ungentlemanly notice he gave of us. When wc came her, we sent him a copy of our paper him feed "X" and as he was a stranger to us weexpectsd.if any, a deeent notice, but were disappointec, for ia speaking of us, he compared us to an old bloat and called us a "scald." That we left Huntington at night he can prove by number of our friends who accompanied hs to the depot, and also that wc had been talking fer weeks of leaving town and there was not probably a person in the place with whom wc were acqnainted but knew we were going. W e have noticed the con ternptible "pimp" at this length for the purpose of giving others who may leel like it, an opportunity 10 pusn in.

Private Session. At the special term

wer requested to retire, as the Board wanted, in connection with the Auditor, to ,loM a ..lvm 8EMX0S. They did . . . . ... , 00t 1,UlIi-ate " th ball 0, It W'N be understood, are all democrats, but they requested them to have, and 6id it was their intention tn lthn?,I n irvitte .?- sion. This ia the first time that we ever heard of Commissioners holding private sessions. The law says, "all courts shall be open." After such manifestaj lions as these, the public may be prepar ed to hear of anything that will, in the least, in the opinion of the Board, advance the republican cause in this county. If they were consulting the good of the citizens of Marshall County why should they request Democrats to leave the room? No sane person will doubt for one moment that they wanted to do some figuring for the benefit f the Republican party in this county if not, why ask Democrats to absent themselves? This is the manner in which the vconojnical Board of Commissioners servCthe "dear people" of Marshall County, and take three dollars each, per day, for talking politics. These are the men who refuse to pay trustees what the law allows, and take the last farthing allowed them for attending to the business of the county; this is the way they are using their position and the people's money. "Go your own road," gentlemen, but rest assured that the people whom you hare deceived, will hold vou accountable for the manner in which you are picking J to tlieir Pocks for the advancement of your partisan purposea Turning thk Tables Our neighbor, of the Republican, has gotten into rather a bad fix. He pitched into Mr. Packard, thinking he had a good thing for hia party, but the object of this attack was loo apparent, and the misrepresentation too contemptible to receive the sanction of even the Republicans, and those, too, with whom Mr. Packard made the settlement, first referred to by our neighbor. But, as soon as they find that they are in equal ly aa bad or worse fix, they want the investigation stopped and those who were at first the most officious in misrepresenting Mr. Packard, now say they "have given Mattingly fits for the course ho has taken toward Mr. Packard," and that "he (P.) was perfectly right." This is what we would call ciaw-fishing, and although we are much younger and less experienced than our venerable cotemporary, yet we modestly intimate to him that ho had belter not go it blind,' hereafter, as he has been in tho habit of doing, and has done in this instance. He had better not be so blinded as to get himself into a similar fix very often during the campaign, or the good people of this county will begiu to think that probably he may bo mistaken, and what is worse, that ho may misrepresent slightly. Wo do not charge anything for our suggestions, and only give them in return for tho kind advice ho gave us in his last issue. Ecoxomt. Our readers will bear in miud that our County Commissioners get three dollars pr day each, fot their services, talking politics, and the greatest amount allowed by the law for Township Trustees who have actual labor aud service to perform, ii one dollar and fifty cents. At their last sitting, theso officers refused to pay Trustees morft than SI, 25 per day, but, with their own bill, as with Corbaley's record, they never said one word about it. Who ever saw a greater exhibition of selfishness than these men have made of themselves? If they take what the law allows them for their services, why lire not other officers entitled to their set price, when their duties are more arduous and the pay only halt' as much as theso pitiful politicians tako for their services? Let honest men answer theso questions for themselves. Still Ahead. Our venerable, experi enced, cool, discreet friend and admirer, by way ef an off-set, says that a near rel ative of o'irs has been heard to say that Jesus Christ wai a Democrat. We have not put ourself to any troublo to find out whether this is so or not, but there is one assertion that wo will venture, and thati8 no Democratic relative of ours ev er said they woutd as leave their daughter would marry a negro as 1 white man! Wo have no such men in our party. Guess our neighbor cannot sa) the same. Fire. By accident, th-Times build ing. Ft. Wayne, was set on fire, Sunday morning last. The material of Dawson's afiico was entirely destroyed, and only a few books were all that wero saved. From an extra jut ree'd from Mr. Dawson we seo that he estimates his loss at 5,000?. The logses by other persons in the same and adjacent buildings foot up sbout fif een thousand dollars. Dawson, Phorcnix like, will H90 out of the ashes, and in tho ceuiso of a fo months, at the farthest, will be at his post editorial.

For tho Democrat.

Mr. Editor: I learn from tho papers ia this ' place, that the County Audi tor gave notice that the Board of Commissioners would leceive sealed proposals for keeping all the Couuty paupers by one man, and that Mr. Baker, of North Township, was the 'lucky individual.' This probably is all well enough, but seems to us to be a new practice; we erö net aware that the Commissioners were authorized to take charge ot the County Poor, until they provided a County Poor House, and until this was done we had been under the impression, that the Township Trustees were the overseers of the poor "The Township Trustee shall be inspector of elections, overseer of the Poor," see acts of 1859, sec. 7, p. S2I. Thus we see at a glance that the Board of Commissioners, in their great efforts at "retrenchment and reform" have slightly stepped over the bound prescribed by law and usurped authority which belongs to the township Trustees. It will be arguedby some, that the panpers will not be so expensive by having them all kept by one person; this may be true, and probably is, but does the law authorize the Commissioners to sell out the paupers? We understand it to be the duty of the Township Trustees, to give notice that sealed proposals will be received for the keeping of paupers, for the ensuing year, and on the first Monday ia .May they are tobe assessed and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, and the Trustees art required to report the amount that will be necessary to keep the paupers so sold, to the Board of Commissioners at their June session; but instead of leaving this business with the Trustees, where the law leaves it, the xtise, intelligent Board has wilfully or ignorautly, (no matter which,) done that which the la v does not require or allow them to do. Th plan must have been adopted at their secret session. VERITAS. A Bright Bov. We never read the cenc in Henry IV., where Falstaffand Prince Henry ex changed characters, without thinking of a similar one said to have occurred in an ancient parsonage a great while ago. The Rev. Mr. Regulus was an excellent man, rather eccentric and somewhat economical. Jona, a farmer's boy, used sometimes to go with presents ta the parsonage, a sharp eyed little fellow, but rather uncouth in his manners. One day he brought in a leg of mutton, laid it down without ceremony, and was making off. "I'll teach that boy a IcsBon in good manners," said Mr. Regulus t his wife. "He needs to have the clown rubbed off a little." "Jonas! come back here a moment. Don't you know, my fine fellow, that you shouldn't come into a house in this way, without knocking, and with your baton? Sit down in my arm-chair. Imagine yourself the minister, and I'll come in with the mutton and show you how a boy ought to behave." Jonas sits up gravely in th arm-chair, and Mr. Regulus goes out with the leg of mutton. Enter Mr. Regulus in the character of Jonas. He takes off his hat with alow bow. "My father sends his compliments to Mr. Regulus, aud asks his pastor to accept a tokeu of his regard." Jonas, from the arm chair: "I thank you. Mrs. Regulus, just give that boy a nine-pence." The lesson was mutual. Mouthly Religions Magazine. tTIt will be recollected that Henry S. Lane, the Republican candidate for Governor, is the man who presided over the Republican sectional convention which nominated Fremont in 18ffi, and that he selected Joshua R. Gidding as one of the committee that framed the platform wliich was! adopted by that convention. "It will be recollected : too, that Giddings is the man who declared "the j soul of Henry Clay was expiating its iniquity in ! hell!" Think of this old Clay Whigs you who j once fought under the banner of the great states man of Ashland, still love and cherish his memory! think of it when you go to record your ballots Lane, the Republican candidate for G jvcrnor. selecting as one of the committee to frame a platform upon which you were asked to stand, the sacriliious old traitor from Ohio, who declared that the soul of your great leader is expiating its iniquity in hell! True Com age. A company of boys in street, Boston, one day after school were engaged in snow-balling. William had made a good hard snow-ball. In throwing it he "put in too much powder," as the boys say; he threw it too hard and it went further than he intended right through a parlor window. All the boys shouted, "There, yeu'llcatcli it now. Run, Bill, run!" They then took to their heels. But the brave "William straightened up and looked sober, as he said I shall not run." He then started directly for the house where the window had been broken. He rang at the door, acknowledged what he had done, and expressed his regret. He thea gave his name and the name of his father, aad his father's place of business and said the injury bhould be repaired. Was not that noble? That was true courage. It is cowardice that would lead a boy, when he has done an injury like that, to sneak away and run to conceal it. How noble then it is to see a boy confess a fault, and uot be afraid to face the consequences! "Historical Question." The Republican papers hare been circulating the following: "Who uiisett'ed Virginia? John Brown. The author of this production doubtless imagined that he had "got off a good thing," but a Southern editor asks in reply, "Who sottled John Brown? Virginia?" The most difficult question of all "Who's your friend?" We might pardon the ungrateful if they would forget who are their enemies, as speedily and as completely as they often forget who were their friends. Good thoughts arc no better than good dreams, unices they be executed. Now do take this mediciue, wife, and I'll be hanged if it doesn't cure you.
