last week, charged Hh intoxication, is any cri-terian, we are led tQ belie vo that our information was incorrect; there was not ay liable of testimony to show that he was guilty of the charge, and we earnestly hope there was no foundation for it. We certainly nave no desire to injure the character of any ti'ilzoa- oi this county, and more especially thai of a personal friend; (such ag we have always regarded the Col. to be.) and, ivhile -we are still of the opinion that he acted unjustly toward the people in regard to the petition lately presented to tU Board of Commssion-ers, we are willing to attrdrate it to an error of judgement on his pai't. and not a disposition to be tyrannic il: we are, proportionately, ull, more or less governed by local prjudice but an officer should shake himself fret 4 from all sectional feelings and do whatever stern duty demands of him, If the Col. would lay aside all partisan feelings in this unfortunate local trouble we have got into, he could make himself one cf the most popular men in the county.

The duration cf human life is governed by law. Those who understand and obey the law, which governs life and health, have a surer guarantee of long life than those who are ignorant of, and disobey it. That we may lengthen or shorten our lives, is proved by incontestible facta, It is true that ucoidents, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc. cause many premature deaths. These, man has but little, if any, control over.

But epidemics and many other diseases are avoidable in part, if noi altogether. Two hundred years ago, the death rate in the great Centers ef Europe was one in every twenty; the present rate is one in forty. The transition ot manttuia ironi Havageto civilized hfe is attended I with a decrease of the duration of life, i 1 j.i,x i. I from the fact that he is exposed to the tariovts influences oi contagious i tion, and for aught we "know to the contrary, Mr. Pomeroy is leading an upright life, and if he is in view of his passed services to our state scis vices rendered when our suffering Deonle needful liflln.

would if; nrttha better to throw the mantle of charity over his one fault, ir indeed he was Sniit7, and welcome him buck into the political arena, or at leatt, is it net about time that this persecution had ceased? Te think so; especially on the part of that class of men who are not as good as I'omeroy. Cf course those immaculate fellows who nave no or blemish on their snowy tomb-stone escutcheons-veritable Angels, who never commit ted one single sin, are at liberty to go on; but the Kansas politician who is guilty of an offense similar to the one with which Pomeroy was charged, be it cvpr so ssnall, is expected to desist. The scoundrel who stole that window sash Isom Ed Brawn's dag out a few nights since, had better raturn it and save trouble. Tho person is not entirely an unknown.
