One thing, “however, is certain: whatever Mark Twain, the humorist may say the editorial writer, will have but very little, ifany, weight with the thinking people of the Eastern States, or-the Congressional .mag“nates at Washington, to both of) . whicb classes we appeal for aid in innate,love of humor which is engrafted into the nature of all mankind may dead — the American people tv applaud Mr. Clemens as a genius of rare ability in his peculiar line, they do not ignore the fact that underlying his inimitable. literary idiosyncrasies re exists a sapreme disregard for those qualities which constitute truthfulness and _ honesty of-expreseion in any matter, however inconsequential. For this reason, if no other, we opine that that gentleman's expressions on the subject of Chinese immigration and its attendant “benefits” wili go for what they are really worth, and ets when McClellan was crowned King ot New Jersey. He says McClellan isa political charlatan.

While the contract was not a pay-. ing one, we were desirious of retaining it in order that all legal proceedings might be published in the TRanecnripr, and thereby protect the tax-payers from “‘snap judgments,” Only this, and nothing more. Notwithstanding the fact that the “Chicago Patent Outside’ hus received the contract to do a part of . the county printing, we can assure Lle men ut the Court House who will act as pentinels, and inform \us of any jobs that may be contemplated against the people, now that discrimination against home industries is the order of thecay.
