The democracy of Greene were cxulting over
US in advance. They expected onp-sided
affair. Ii turned out 10 be n one-sded affair,
but it was on the wrong side for them. Our
friends were delighted with the result. They
claim, and justly claim, the most utterly
overwhelming and crushing victory that was
ever obtained by one guberna,oria candidate
over another. HIATT on made an able, states
manlike and eloquent speech. Many of our
people pronounce it the nbest effort made in
Grseneville. He proves his position on the
land question to absolute demonstration. and
he cannot fail to carry conviction to the minds
of all who nre not blinded by party prrju-
dices. You may rest assured that q good
days work has been done here. Its results
will be seen in largely increased vote for
Hatton in August next, and if he does as
we'll every where rs he did here today, there
can be but little doubt of his triumphant
election. Let our friends everywhere 90 to
work in earnest, and we can and miH redeem
our glorious State from the thradom of po-
litical error, and the dominion of Johnsonian
democracy. Yours, GREESEvILLE.

Our Office invaded last evening by q number
Of outlaws, pets of the present dominant party who
conducted themselves in the laWess and destructive
manner which has characterized our country ever
since it became disgraced by Know Nothing rule
portion OF the counter of the office was torn of
and hurled with violence at the head of one of the
clerks; part of the pictures in the office broken
up aud destroyed, and any amount of threats and
abuse INDUCED in. The leader and principal actor
in this outrage is said TO be Joe Liizen, the fellow
just released from Jail by Judge Lee, and who is
awaiting his trial for another infamous and I'M
provoked outrage.
On the morning Of yesterday we received the most
abusive and threatening anonymous notes, AID we
suppose this visit was accordance with the pro-
missed threats. Unfortunately for the ends of
justice, there but single person in the Office at
the time Of the visit, or some of those impudent
scoundrels might have met q more BETTING recep-
ton.
There is no doubt that Lizen was the fellow who
led the party as he had threatened this visit and
the destruction of Office to one of reporters
because his release by Judge Lee had been refer
red to IN our columns. We might ask, where were
the eyer-watchful police during the visit of their
friends
There is scarcely an hour in the day that some
two or three of thea are not seen on the corner
near our door-but at this time they were convent
emily absent until their friends had retired when
they innoeently came in TO know what was the mat
ter. THERE'S no shadow of doubt but these fellows
are well known 10 the police; and indeed we have
been informed that Two three of the military
guard were at short distance looking on at the
very time they entered the office. This is the way
our city is ruled.

ADULTERATED MEDICINES.

The American Pharmaceutical Convention, as
sembed in Philadelphia have directed their attention
to great evil-the sdulteration of drugs. 1t is
evil which is said to be the increase It has
a double nature. First, drugs are largely adulter-
ated in foreign countries before they are shipped
hither. Secondly, they are largely adulterated
after they arrive here Considering the Importance
of having reliable medicine considering too, the
consumption of medicine in this country as proper
tionable to that among like number of inhabitants
in any part of Europe, it is of vital Importance that
medicines be pure and good. In some parts of
EurOpe-Franoe, Vienna, and Brussels, for ex-
ample-there are official inspectors of drug stores
who are constantly employed in examining and
testing the purity and goodness of each pharma-
c1utists stock, and the punishment for aduteration
is very heavy, as it ought to be.
The Convention have appointed working Com
mittee on Home Authorizations, who will have to
examine iutO and report upon this subject, all over
the Union. They have long, as well tough
job before them.

Mr. II. C. WiIlians, the Agent ofthe Patent Once
to procure information in relation to the vine culture
Of the Unired States in accommodation dated at the
Hot Spring, Arkansas, says that he stopped at Win
chester, Franklin county, Tennessee, Z" to ascerta
the height of the Cumberland mountain and the
temperature of of the large cayerns near there
+" Heretofore" he states, al have expressed the
opinion that that locality offered inducements to
vine culture; the soil altitude and less frequent
changes in temperature in summer and fall and the
large caverns which might, with trihing expense, be
converted into wine vaults, all concurring, in my
opinion, to render wine making safe, sure and
profitable business. The short time spent in that
part of the State, making observations with refer
ence to the subject, confirms this opinion"
Mr. Buchanan, of Cincinnati, in recent com
munication to the St. Louis Democrat, says:
