HARMoNY.-Thc Washington correspond
cnt of the Charleston Standard says: "1'he
Democrats are in the greatest tribulation and
the disorganized condition of the party was
well illustrated by facctious friend yester-
day, who said upon this topic that the party
could not commit even rlot-tlat offence
requiring the concert of three or more persons
in projecting or carrying out any given pur-
pose. The different cliques have ceased to
war upon the common enemy, the Whigs'
and have turned their guns upon each other.
Many express the opinion that none of the
prominent candidates can get the nomination
at Baltimore, and if the convention does not
take up some new man, ns it did Mr.. Polk, in
1914, in consequence of its disorganized con-
dition, that it will end in a row."

says: "a disease which has baffled the best
medical skill has been prevailing for some
time past in the Glades, the upper part Of
this county. Its approach is known by a
slight pain, which soon extends over the sys-
tenn, drawing the body nearly double, and
causing the most excruciating pain to the per-
son attacked, who is only relieved by death,
which usually takes place in a few hours
Families have been almost entirely destroyed
by Il, and We hear of an instance where q
widow and three children were attacked, and
dicd-one little child only escaping.

The result of the election can be given by
saving that the whole whg ticket has been
elected. Kcnnett's majority is about 500.
An effort was made in the first ward by the
Germans to prevent the American wings from
voting, which caused the Americans through
the city to rally force OF about 500 which
soon swelled to 5000 OF more, and proceeded
to the first ward, where terrible, bloody and
fearful conflict cnsucd. The Americans were
fired on, when they proceeded to the houses
whence the firing carne, and completely
demolished five or six fine buildings. Several
lives were lost. Among the numbc, is dcpn-

Grant Thorburn, calling to mind the earn
est, able men in New York pulpits in times
past, makes this severe remark on their sue:
cessors: "They read dead honiily from a
dead paper to a company of dead souls, and
in a manner, too, as dead as the Devil = who
always attends church, could wish. Now, all
the eloquent speakers, singers, and actors,
are engaged by the Devil to serve at his al
tar! Any stammering tongue is good enough
for the pulpit. Were the mantle of White
field or Westley to drop on the shoulders of
some of these wooden ministers of the goi-

Who sha! paint the anguish, the agony of

TRUrH.-lf all newspaper patrons would
just treasure up the bit of truth contained in
the following paragraph, it would be benef-
rial to them and u.s.
"Collccting is wasteful business. When
man subscribes for paper, or buys merchan-
disc, lie expects to pay for the article, and
not for the privilege of being called upon for
the Toncy. The collectors labor brings en-
pcase upon one party without benciitting the
other. Thus it is lost labor. If men would
volunteer to pay their debts. the persons now
employed in collecting might become pro-
ducrrs.'
