True Republicans Desire to Deal Fairly.

GoodUn4 Herald. 42 • The Rensselaer Message seems, to oppose 8. P. Thompson for State Senator on the ground of his want of popularity. It states that 1874 Mr, Thompson failed to receive a plurality vote in this district. In that election S. P. Thompson received a plurality of 258 more than James T. SaunderIra W. Yeoman, who received 173 more than Henry S. Travis. In seeking a nominee, true Republicans desire to deal fairly.

Newton County Will be For Dunn.

Kentland Gazette. Isaac D. Dunn announces himself as a candidate for the re-nomination as representative for Jasper and Newton counties. Mr. Dunn has represented these counties in the State legislature during the past two years, and has made a very satisfactory representative to his constituents. We have heard of no one who has taken any exceptions to any of his public acts, but we. have heard him commended for being instrumental in causing Several important measures to be enacted. We are of the opinion, from what we can learn, that Newton county is willing to give Mr. Dunn his second term, as has been customary heretofore.

Around The Court House.

The County Board of Equalization met ana organized Monday morning; It consists of the three County Commissioners, Hons. Prevo, Nichols and Tabor, who are members, ex-officio, and of Messrs. J. T. Randle, H. W. Wood, Lucius Strong and Lemuel Shortridge, appointed by the Judge of the Circuit Court. Judging from the large number of property owners who are applying to have their assessments equalized, and the progress already made, Board has a big task .before it, which is likely to consume many days. < The regular work of the Commissioners’ Court can not be taken up until the Equalizers complete their labors. In the saloon case of J. G. Reynolds remonstrance has been filed by Rev. David Handley, and there is an interesting fight in prospect. The case was set for this, Thursday, afternoon, but will not likely be reached by that time, THE CIRCUIT COURT. In the Circuit Court* most of the State cases upon the docket have been continued, but tlie following have been otherwise disposed of: David Hamilton, malicious trespass, dismissed. Chas. Wiseman, intoxication in a public place; plea of guilty, and a tine of $1 and costs. Total $16.15. Louis. Mosier, (the Keener, tpshot gun case) assault; plea of guilty, and a fine of sl, and costs. Total $16.30. James Tai by, (the livery stable thief ) petit larceny, plea of guilty, and a fine of $1 and costs, total $10; and one hour in jail. He will serve out his fine also, we understand. In civil cases, no trials hate been had, but a number of foreclosures and other judgments taken by default W AY— Down--low- Everything at Kan u al’s cheap store.
