from one of Judge Wilson's supporters, who
signs himself SA Live Unburnt Republican,'
whatever that may mean . Aa to the gentle
man's Republicanism it is a subject upon
which, doubtless, much might be said on both
ides. It is true that he is at present, inden

tru t also, that a few short years ago the ine
briate Andy, after swinging around the cir
cle, appointed him one of bis Post Masters,
from which position he was ioeontineuilr
kicked by a Republican Adminintration at the
earliest opportunity. But we are not dis
posed to write the biography of tbia greet

briefly notice s few points in bis manifesto. "
Independent, March 23.
KoiToa Palladicm
Br all honorablo editors, it is not consider
ed allowable to make known to the public
even by allusion, who their anonymous cor
respondent a are, when tbe names of the
writers hsve been confided to them.
With sueb editors however, as hsve very
little honor, and leas political consistency,
the esse appears, from the above extract, to
be different.
One would suppose from reading the In
dependent editor's challenge, to examine po
lUical records, that his Republicanism wa
ft subject upon which there was little to offer
on 'both sides,' on tbe principle that, 'Who
drives fat oxen should himself be fat.'
For in tbe given case, was there any ne
cessity for the dishonorable betrayal ot the
Independent's correspondent 1
Tbe conduct of tbe editor, to rsy the least,
does not supply evidence that small persons
are .exeunt from perpetrating orrMpnading
littleness snd meanness in their actioss aa
editors or that he is capable of demeaning
himself as a gentleman.
Tbe political standing of the individual
criticised, is well kuown in this community.
Fe not only never voted with any but the
Republican party, but never acted, nor was
be identified with tbe paity of the 'inebriate
Andy' never contributed one cent to en
courage that erratic traitor to those wo3
placed him in power, nor did he disgrace him
self by attending the State or ny other
'inebriate Andy' Convention I Can dare
the Independent editor ssy as much for
himself?
The writer has been iodusel to look np
the files of a certain newspiper the Brook
vilb Amsricm of which tha Iodeiendent
man has probally hearl ; at any rate tbe
numbers of the paper iu question sport the
name of one Mr. R. II. Swift as editor it
may be a difierent Swift from our Indepen
dent Buzfuz.
Well this American makes sane curious
development, truly.
In fact, political biographies are some
times wonderlullv amusing !
For the present only a very few very pre
cious excerpts will be given from the editorials:

It also appears from the same paper that
R H Swift whoever that n ay be partici
pated actively in tbe 'Inebriate Andy's' In
dianapolis State Convention and that he was a
member of llu committee on resolutions.
What Swift this was perhaps onr Indepen
dent msn can tell.
He msy rise, coma to the front snd
ceed.
pro-
Tbe material is rich and abundant to abow
that there are hardly two sides to Swift's
political status.
Tbe writer does not fay that the 'Ameri
can' Swift is identical wiih the Independent
editor. -
. Hut tbe rich placer of the American spoons
out well and must be reseived for future usj
ii circumstances shoull render it necesssiy.
It is for the Independent to say.
There is also a painfully sensational ru
nor that there was a certain autobiogragbi
cal polities! sketch of the American Swift
carefully prepared and sent to tbe 'Inebriate
Andy's Secretary of the Treasury detail
ing minutely tbe peculiar executive ability of
the gentleman his official integrity and his
perfect soundness on the Inebriate Andy.'
Wonder if this biography U apochryphal or
is it canonical ? -
This puts us in painful suspense 1 Csn U
be possible that this is the veritable amateur
editor of tke Independent, who ia trying to
originate a factious oppposition to Judgs
Wilson t If so, bis political record may
e tsily be made both to 'point a moral and
adorn a talo.'
And tbe American Swift can rest assured
that if he is Identical with the Independent
man, and shsll continue to slop over so pro
miscuously and miscellaneously, the 'tale
aball be adorned and tbe moral as well point
ed' as an unskilled pen can do it.
On tbe supposition that the 'American'
editor is tbe shade of the Independent, what
are this community to think of the impudence
that would allow him to talk so flippantly (
Unburnt ' Republican's political status, and
ta exhibit the braxen effrontery of assuming
to teach this heathen people how to vote for
Congressman.
It is to be feared that modesty is not cne
of his accomplishment
The writer has not used near all, nor even
the best material iu hand, to illustrate his
subject nor does be ask any urgent tempts
tinn to turn it to account and a 'tale uafold,
and hereby promises, if need be, to do bis
part towards abating the nuisance that has
been afflicting our citix?ns, through the la
dependent.
If the Independent political 'bummer,' who

cords, expects to have it all tils own way, in

Eft. Pal. The following letter was re
ceived .by one of our citizens, and it may be of
ioteresi to such of our people as do not seem
to know Judge Wilson. Its writer is the able
meutber of Congress from the Tenth Indiana

WasHikgtox, D. C, March 15th, 1S72.
Dear Sib Oa my return from tbo cam
paign in Connecticut, I find your favor, and
in. replr, have the honor to state, that there
is no member of Congress, who stands more
fair than Judge Wilson. He is on tbe Ju
diciary Committee, and Judge liiugham.
Chairman; and several other members of the
Committee, have told me that they considered
him one uf the ablest of it's members, and
a very bard worker. His speech on "Refund
ing the 5 per cent, to Indiana, Ohio and Il
linois, or the 2 per cent. Balance Due," was
considered the most able speech, in a legal
point ol view, made on that subject. Quite a
Urge number of members of rte Uousa said
to me : "It was a splendid legal argument.''
Judge Wilson is always at work, anl always
votes, lis never dodges any question, and I
know, that the old Sth will find no abler ad
vocate ol Republican principles, than Judge
Wilson, and no new member who will more
readily command tbe respect and confidence
of tbe House. Yours, Ac,
W. William.

JUSTICE TO A - SOLDIER.
Ed Palladium It ioes not
appear to be generally 'kiown that
J G Lemon tbe popular candidate
for county Treasurer is a wounded
ftoMter, and a cripple for life. Mr.
Lemon with that characteristic
modesty for which we all so much
a J mire him, has made the entire
canvass of tbe county, and we
doubt if he has ever -mentioned
the feet that he is a crippled sol
dier, j
A lsrge number of his friends,
soldiers and others, therefore de
sire to call the attention of all
friends of tbe soldier to the im
portant fact that he was disabled
for life by a hostile bullet received
in actual combat, a fact which lie
in his modesty, has rather sought
to conceal.
Mr Lemon entered the service
when he was a mere boy, and after
three years of hard service par
ticipating in all of the important
battles of the South-west includ
ing Cbickamauga, Lookout Moun
tain and Missionary Bidge, he was
disabled for future service by a
rebel bullet, which struck his
right sholdier and passing oblique
ly through his shoulder and arm
made a frightful wound, nine inch
es in length. It was feared that
the wound might prove fatal. For

and death . For a year he was a
feeble invalid, but after eighteen
mouths of intense suffering the
wound healed, leaviug him with a
stiff shoulder and bat the 'partial
use of his right arm.
lie is thoroughly incapacitated
for all manual labor, and any slight
strain of his crippled arm causes
him weeks of suffering. He is a
poor man and is dependent upon
itis pen for the support of his lit
tle family. His coat hides his de
formity. He himself modestly
conceals it. We, therefore, who
know of his misfortune, deem it a
duty that we owe to all fiiends of
the family to make this simple an
nouncement, which we do without
the slightest knowledge on his; part,
rs we know full well he would coi
give his consent Patriots.

Prosecuting Attorney.
Ed. Palladium J. L. Yaryan,
candidate for Prosecuting Attor
ney, gradmted at Miami Univer
sity in the tlass of 1860, and sub
6tqacntty at the Cincinnati Law
School. Ai soon as ho completed
his Collegiate Course, he com
menced reading law and continued
his studies until the war broke out;
he then threw aside his books and
enlisted in the army as a private,
and went South to teach Rebels
the first principles of law, the duty
of allegiance. He helped fight
the battles of Shilo, Stone River,
Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Per
ryville and the Siege of Knoxville.
He was chief of Gen. T. J. Woods'
staff for three years, and was in
active service until the close of
the war. Oa account of the war
Mr. Yaryan delayed in getting in
to practice, but ho is a good law

ability has no rival in the field.
If elected he will discharge the
duties of his Office honestly, im
partially and faithful-y. The peo

The Richmond Telegram is edited by
a man who can not speak of a member
of bis own party, with whom he differs,
without dealing in personal abuse.
Abuse with Mr. Surface seems to be the
height of argument, and all who see fit
to hold an advene opinion to his, receive
a full share of it. Just now the Tele
gram is violently opposed to Judge Wil
son, and every person or paper support
ing tha Judge is a fit subject for tbis fa
vorite pastime ot Mr. Surface. If he
desires to speak of the Palladium he re
fers to it as the "Postoffice sheet," or a
"dishrag." If he has occasion to say
anything of the Times, bis sweetest name
fur us is ' Jerry Wilson's hand organ."
And when Mr. Surface wants to annihi
late some Wilson man, he mildly refers
to him as one of "Jerry's henchmen."
All this may be very fine fun for Mr.
Surface, and he may imagine that he is
doing Mr. Claypool a srreat deal of
good. lie may also imagine that ihe
present abuse he is heaping upon J udge
Wilson the misrepresentations he uses,
and the unfounded claim that the Ju Ige
can't bo elected, all add to Mr. Clay-
pool's chances ol being nominated. It
looks as if Mr. Surface had allowed his
passion to overrule his, judgment. He
is placing himself in such a position
that it will bo hard Tor him to support
Wilson with honor, and ho seems de

Special Correspondenoe of the Gazette. ,
1 CONNBBSVILLB March, S3.
I notice in your paper of yester
day a communication from O.K.,
of this city, which with your per
mission I would like lo make some
comments upon, as it is calculated
to produce wrong impressions iu
some localities. We presume the
writer is some transient visitr
or at least he appears to ba better
acquainted willi the 'hotel and
pigeon business' than he is with
the politics of county end dis
trict As regards the hotel and pegeon
business, we will not take isnuc
with him on that subject, for we
presume iu these matters he is
better posted than we arc. Your
correspondent very facetiously
goes on to say that Claypool and
Wiison, of this place are both
very able men and both candidates
for Congress in Ibis district. He
then says Claypool is the strongest
man in the city and county, and
will finally get the nomination.
His reasons are: "First, he is
able and convincing on the stump
with much experience, and in the
heat of a campaign is calculated
to bring into the fold the unde
cided floating vote." Now as to
the "convincing" part, we have
nothing to say; but as to the ex
perience on the stump, we don't
know where that experience be
gins, for we never knea of his
making a dozen political speeches
in hi life until his present cam
paign. Second, he says there is
no settled opposition to Claypool.
as a candidate, no factions formed
against him, no old scores to pay
off and finally, if nominated, will
carry everything, while Wilson
will if nominated, have great op -position.
As regards what the writer says
about 'factions' we think he will
find there is 'one' at least forming
that will, by the 1st day of April,
bo a hard customer lor Claypool
to get over. The two last charges
your correspondent makes on Wil
son ore simply ridiculous. His
first charge is, that two years Bgo
Julian was defeated by Wilson for
nomination, consequently Julian's
friends will not support Wiison if
nominated. This charge is pre
posterous and damaging to the
party, and a slur on the friends of
Julian in this district. Julian's
friends are composed of some of
the best and truest men in' our
party, and none know better than
they the popularity of Judge Wil
son, and they, are proud that their
champion was defeated, if defeated
at all, by a man of each marked
ability, and to-day there are many
of them working hard to secure
his nomination, while some are
doing what tliey can for Claypool,
following the Golden Rule, 'do
unto others Ac' This I am glad to
see, for it looks like the old trou
bles in this district would soon be
obliterated. I have not u sbadow
of doubt but that Claypool or Wil
son can either of them be elected!
if nominated. That Wilson will
carry his county and get the no-ai
ination there is hardly a doubt,
and there is no one who know
this better than Claypool and bis
friends We concede to Claypool
a very fair vote under the circum

Voter
Wayni Countt.Ikd., March 21.
To the Editor of tba Cincinnati Gazette :
As the election of a Congressman is a mat
ter of national interest, it is a subject of
congratulation with Republicans everywhere
that th old internal fends of tbo former
Fifth and tbe present Eourth District bare I
been, at least for tbe present campaign, laid
aside, and. the canvas is being conducted
with a fairness and moderation that is truly
refreshing la all bat onr opponents.
The only computers for Congressional hon
ors in this district are Judge J M Wilson,
tbe present incumbent, and lion, lit Ulay-
pool, both ol uonnersruie, r ayeiie uonnty.
Thev are both eentlemen of marked ability
and worth, and either would fill tiia position
with honor?
We wish however, to correct an error of
your Richmond correspondent in predicting
that WaTne County will give a liberal ma
jority for Mr. Cloyrool. WaTne county
T i i ii i r j Tir-i
in ail prooaoimy win enuursc uuge usun
for re-election for the reason that not even
those who faror his opponent bare yet given
or can give any gooa reason wny ii bquuiu
not.
We have not vet seen the slightest dis
satisfaction expressed with Wilson's coarse
in Congress. He has shown no lack of either
ability or energy, and bat few men have
been aa prominent and useful in their first
term. II these are tacts, mere snonia oe
Bomerery weighty reasons given to induce a
chsnge.
It is an nndouDteu laci mat Mr. liiaypooi
relies mainly for bis strength upon the sup
port ot the former friends of Mr. Julian,
bat with what consistency they can support
him does not appear trora bis tormer record.
It is a fact too notorious to need proof that
Mr. Clarpool has all his life been an ultra-
conaerrative, and but three years ago ret used
to sign a petition to the Legislature, tbe
tenor of which was to either admit colored
children to our schools or to give them their
proportion of tbe school fund.
Aaw, vuv jriuuimi wujw n v. uu,v
Wilson's oppouenU has been that he did not
as soon as elected turn out all of Mr. Julian's
fronds and SDDOint llisown.
Sacb being the facts, it is dfficolt for us to
view the situation in ine liiumioaxion wim
which Mr. Claypool and his friends seem to
see it when they expect the support of the
TtiHinl irinir of the DSrtV.
Judge Wiison has made but three or four
changes in tbe district, and these were de
mKiulad br considerations of public and
party policy, and without any thongbt of
nersonal conaiaera lions. oe umm im
tir- if inr of his former friends, and will
gain a large majority of the Radical vote, as
his reeord for consistent Radicalism is cer
tainly far better than that of bis opponent,
and we do not nesiiaw to auu-m u um u
hMn aa ions and faithful, though bv reason
of circumstances, not as prominent a Radical
as his distinguished predecessor, Mr, Julian.
Judge Wilson was the first Judge in In
diana, and we believe tbe only one, who ever
decided before tbe 15th amendment was
framed, that a man who bad more white than
hluk blood in his veins bad a right to rote
and upon a written charge to a jury to, that
eB'ect a colored man recovered a judgement
against one of hie (Judge Wilson's) friends
lor refusing his rote.Slfis record as to the
ciril ritrhta hill shoves thit he has favored
eVery motion to faciiitate tbe measure, and
voted against javery dilatory motion in regard
to it. with .the hoDe that it may yet goto a
committee to be so perfected as to make it
acceptable to its fiiends.

Beaver Lake is draind dry, and
ao is Swift.
Bead tlit letter of Hon. Wm. Williams, If.
C, from tlis 10 til Indiana District, in another
column. It confirms Snrfaee's evidence, that
Judge Wilson, w "tlu peer of the best man
in Congress." .
Rich! To hesr so snperserriceable a tool
to the "Inebriate Andy," as Swift of the In
dependent was, when be was Assessor and
editor of the Brookrille American, calling the
editors of the vpera in this district that
support JndfreWiUnn for Congress, "Brasa
Collar Organs"!! It is rich. Call Brown!
We have received a copy of
Senator Pratt's ablo speech on
the Beaver L ke Land Bill A(cr
showing how the Democrats swin
dled the school children of Indiana
out of 81.000,000 worth of awamp
lands during Governor Willard's
administration, he gives the his
tory of the State's claim to a por
tion of tbe reclaimed bed of Beaver
Lake home eight thousand acres
of this land was accepted by the
State is settlement with John P.
Dunn and his sureties, and was
subsequently Bold by authority of
a State law ta the rate ofbno dollar
per acre. It is claimed that as
the bed of the lake was never
transferred by the United States
to the State of Indiana, that no
title ever vested in Dunn or the
State, and that pre-emptors have
the right to take up tbe reclaimed
land under the provisions ef the
United Swtcs laws. It is elear
that Dunn had no shadow of title
and that neither the State of In
diana nor the United States ever
received one cent of consideration
for the satao from him The lands
were stolen, and the State, by
accepting them from tbe twelves,
became in oue sense the receiver
of stolen, goods which she after
wards transferred ro the present
claimants for the price named. Mr.
Pratt's bill canfirms this fraudu
lent title, and as the State has
levied and collected taxes from the
occnpant3 of the land, it is plausi
bly argned this tba state should
defend the title of her grantees.
Mr Pkatt expressly disclaimed
any intention of defending the
Beiuht claim to a portion of the
stolen lands, and insisted that the
title to them mast bo fought out
in the courts. The Senate was.
convinced that Mr. Pratt's view
of the subject was correct, and
passed the bill. It is now up in
the House, and Mr. Ttxer has in
trodaced a bill declaring the land
to be the property of the United
States, and providing for their
survey and ssie, giving the occu
pants the first right to take them
at a stipulated price. The whole
business is fall of difficulty and
the theives Uavo adroitly managed
to entangle their rosealry clahns
with tbe inu-rcstiof many honest
people, who are forced to defend
knavery whi?e aiming to assert
their cwn rights. Ind. Journal.
