Mr. Colfax's position was well understood by Indianians in Washington last Winter and It was out of courtesy to the Senators and Republican he could not make recommendations for by political wore controlled by but that he would cheerfully unite iu any recommendation which were made by in all cases when the parties were known or properly endorsed to Our information is that he adhered steadfastly to this We do not believe that a single instance can be cited where Mr. Colfax refused to give tho use of his name to any worthy who was endorsed by hig Senators or Tho great mistake made by many was that they expected Mr. as Vice to officiously importune the President in their and they were Indianians or his supporters at the National he must go to General Grant and procure for them a good even over tho recommendation of their Senator or This he could not be to and because ol his failure to do he is subjected to We are sorry to see any Republican newspaper thus doing tho work of the Mr. by his devotion to his country and his in a long and brilliant political has attached himself warmly to tho Republicans of And while they delight to honor other of their public they will not easily be shaken in their confidence in his devotion to interests and his fidelity to his and unable to Interpose an and whal il docs with to her plus 1 a dark and bloody From the County About five weeks ago a missionary Baptist calling himself Richard went to Lincoln preached every and in the After proaching bomo three weeks there and In the ho was taken suddenly made his willed some sixty thousand dollars worth of property to various and thirty thousand dollars to Miss Emma of As it he recovered from his on tho Oih was to Miss and they then wont to Florence on a preaching After preaching several days he proposed to attend tho Montgomery but instead went to whore he got said ho had eight wives and intended to have another before two At Danville ho let his wife know that he intended to leave tho country she being interested for herself antl the owner of tho horse and refused to go with and took the reins and drove to where she told Uovey that she was done with and sent for her learned that ho would bo arrested for obtaining money on his forged certificate oi of and took leg bail a Richard E.
