From the Elk RapMi Eagle.
Mr. Griswold. of Traverso City, is oat in a circular to'
tbe voters of tbe 13th Judiciol District announcing himself as a candidate fbr Jtfdge lie stntcs tlftat the Convention nomioatiug a caudidate wus called at on unusual
time of the year, and charges Mr. Ramsdell with having
engineered the whole matter. The- Convention' was
coifed early so ns to give an opportunity for delegates
from tbe different parts of the District to- attend with
less inconvenience then they coald after the close of navigation. So ifar as Mr. Bamsdt-U having packed the
Convention rs concerned we have to say that we were a
delegate to.that Convention, and that neither Mr. Ramsdell or any other person ever asked us to support his
nomination—we believe the whole chnrgc is false.
He charges Mr. Ramsdell with being onfit for tbe office, bat. with great apparent forgeffolness. fails to show'
us wherein he is better qualified ; and then says, troth'
fully : •• Many of yon know Mr. Ramsdoll better than I
do, you know what his character is now ond has beet*
since he has been here, nnd it is for you to say whether
you want him for Judge of this District or not.*' Exactly so, und for that very reason we shall support him, because we do know him owl do not know Mr. Griswold.
Mr. Griswold came to this region Ibte Inst fall. Of
his character os a mnn or bis ability as a lawyer wo
know nothing. He savs that he "did not come here for
office. That be wuntcd none." Very well, we will accommodate him.
On the 20th of January a trial of cudarance, 03 well
as of speed, with regurd to the relative merits of Arab
and English thorough-bred horses in hot climates, took
plnce in the desert between Cairo and Suez. A pure
Arab, belonging to Prince Halm, ond an English horse r
the property of Mr. Smart, started together from Cairoat seven hours, eleven minutes, thirty seconds A. M .
and nt three hours, eight miuutes p. M. the Arab horse
reached Ihe goal at Suez, having traversed the distance
of ninety miles in seven hours, fifty-six 'minutes, thirty
seconds. while his English competitor broke down nearly eighteen miles from the winning-post.
Senator Ft-ssi-mlcn never said a truer word than this,
which is taken from a reccnt speech of his in the U. S.
Senate :
•• Certain newspapers hail advocated the u«e of Government patronage to influence the action of Congress.—
He would say to everybody who hnd that thought in
tbeir brain, that I lie peoplr of this country are not in
any temper to IK- sold. They have decided that negroes
shall not be bought nnd sold ; nnd they are unanimous
that the Senators nnd Representatives shull not sell them- •

Hon Ennranc.—Mr. Joseph Bridge, who resides on
the Heanbien Farm, within the city limits, informs us
thai within the past month be has lost over 40 hogs,
mostly about ten months old, by an epedemic which is
still raging. The value of his losses he <-stimates at over
$550. Hie disease seems to be u sort of cholera, Tomiling and purging being tbe principal symptoms. It is
also more fatal in cold than in warm weatlier. Sometimes the animal is taken off within twenty-four hours
after being attacked, while in other cases they linger n
week. Everything that could be thought of bus been
tried, but 110 remedy as yet has proved successful. M r.
Bridge promises to furnish us with farther particulars 1 if*
the disease, its treatment and methods or prevention, as
soon as the same can be ascertained.

RECONSTRUCTION.—Senator Wilson's Platform or R e construction requires that each Slate, lately in rebellion,.
shull provide, by irrrpcalablc enactment, first, ihe equality before the law. of oil men ; secondly, the right to votool the following classes of persons of A Tricon descent,
viz : those who bavt- served iu the army, who pay a tax
on real estate, who can rend, and who otherwise possess
the qualifications required by tbe Constitution of the
United S'tntcs : ond thirdly, the repudiation of the Rebel
Slate debt, and surrender of all claims for compensation
for the emancipotion of Slavery.
The District Attorney for tbe District or Columbia,
has been ordered by the Treosnry Deportment to commence an action against Brigadier Gen. R S. Mussey,
late Private Secretory or President Johnson, to recover
the sum or $28,000 which it is alleged was abstracted
from the sum odvonced to him for recruiting and for
which it is claimed lie has failed to accoant.
