run he withdrew. Culver cried ou
that his case and Van Vorhes' were
similar-that he was in the same ia
could not compete with Horton. -
Here the field was clear--candidates
all frightened off the track. A gen,
eral stampede commenced. Loud and
i{repeated cries of adjourui adiournl---
Plsnts desired TO explain, but no ex

tion to adjourn carried.
During the two hours of a recess
the Horton men were choked off by
Van Vorhes' friends, declaring that
they aCOuld not support him. When
theconvention assembled Plants was
permitted to explain. He said that
he did not mean that Horton had au.

he still claimed the right to vote tor
him, and knew he would accept il

Mr.. Van Worries having received a
majority of the votes was declared the
nominee amid the shouts ofhis friends
and the curses of the Meigs county
delegates and several prominent Re
publicans from Athens. Ballard, who
is an influential man in the party,
denounced his nomination, and will
oppose him from now until the cleo
ton. The nominee opposed the build
ing of the Hooking Valley Railroad
which action has embittered the peo.
pie against him all along the line.
Van Vorhes was called upon for q
speech. He said some one at home
was sick, and he didn't feel like speak

terminate. 1t will oe "none Of our

A REAL GENTLEMAN.--He never
dresses in the extreme of fashion, but
avoids singularity in his person and
and habits.
Is afable to his equals, and pleasant
and attractive to his interiors.
In conversation he avoids ill-tem-
p6red or insulting remarks.
He never prizes into other peoples
affairs.
Detests eaves-d dropping as among the
most disgraceful of crimes.
Never ISLANDERS any Of his acq uain-
tances.
Never cuts an acquaintance who has
met with reverse OF fortune.

An Exquisite. story BY Lnmnrtine.

In the tribe OF Neggdeh there was
a horse whose fame was spread far and
near, and q Bedouin of another tribe,
by name Daher, desired extremely to
possess it. Having offered in vain
for it his camels and his whole wealth
he hit at langth upon the following
device, by which he hoped to gain the
object of his desire. He resolved to
stain his face with the juice of an
herb; to clothe himself in rags, to tie
his leg and neck together, so as to sp.
pear like lame beggar. Thus equip,
ped, he went to wait for Naber, The
owner of the horse, who he knew was
to pass that way. When he saw Ma,
Der approaching on his beautiful steod,
he cried out in q weak voice, 81 am
poor, stranger; for three days ! have
been unable to move from this spot to
seek food. / am dying; holp me, and
Heaven will reward you" The Bed,
ouin kindly offered to take him up on
the horse and carry him home; but the
rogue replied, 81 cannot rise; | have
no strength left"
Naber, touched with pity, dismount-
ed, led his horse to the spot, and,
with great difficulty, set the seeming
beggar on its back. But no sooner
did DGher feel himself in the saddle,
than he set spurs to the horse aud gal
loped of, calling ont as he did 80, at

am off with it," Naber called after
him to stop and listen. Certain Of
not being pursued, he turned and halt.
ed at short distance from NAber, who
was armed with a spear. "You have
taken my horse" said tho latter
"Since heaven has willed it, | wish
you JOY of it; but | conjure you never
to tell any one how you obtained it."
"And why not9" said Dahor. "Be.
cause" said the noble Arab, "another
man might be really i'll, and men
would fear to help him. You would
be the cause of many refusing to per-
form an act Of charity, for fear OF be-
ing duped as | have been" Struck
with shame at these words, Daher was
silent for a moment; then springing
from the horse, returned it to its own
er, embracing him to his tent, where
they spent q few days together, and
became fast friends for life.

Temperance Matters.

The Temperance Society in Cabot held their
Annual Meeting on the evening of the 9th inst.
and elected Roswell Farr, President, and E. D.
Putnam, Secretary. They also elected six dele
gates to the County Convention. R. L. Perkins,
Esq. Agent of the State Temperance Society,
was present by invita- ton, and lectured that
evening and the following evening The wealth
er was very inclement, preventing large attend
ance from the remote parts of the town, but
the people in the village attended very general
ly, and manifested much interest The accom-
plished choir of singers gave some excellent mu-
sic. The first evening Mr.. Quinton Cook intro
duced resolution g that the sale Of alcohol in
any of its forms, ought not to be sanctioned BY
law, for any purpose whatever" The second
evening it was ably discussed by him in the al
filmative, and Mr. Cornelius Smith in the mega
tive, and was passed-eigh voting for it and
six against it. 1t was not considered test vote,
however, as but few of those present seemed
ready to vote upon it, and the meeting was ad-
journed to tho evening of the 18th inst, to DIS
cuss it more thoroughly, and take second vote
upon it, The Lecturer did not discuss it but
expressed desire to hear the views of the
friends of Temperance in Cabot upon IT. he
observed, however, to individuals, that neither
he nor Instantly, ever used alcohol in any OF l'
forms, as a medicine.

| hope the motion l have made to instruct
the Committee on Territories to investigate
everything connected with the formation of the
constitution of Kansas will be adopted by the
Senate. If Senator'S are disposed now, at this
time, with all these frauds, all these wrongs be-
fore the nation, to investigate and be guided by
the facts, the country will give them the credit,
whatever may be their wish, of being actuatcd
by sense of Justice. The ear of this country
is panied with the crimes and frauds that have
been perpetrated in Kansas. No man here or
elsewhere can doubt them for moment. The
voice of the people of Kansas comes here in
thousand ways and asks us to reject the appli-
cation, because it has been framed and carried
through in violation of the public will.
Isay, then, that if we reject this proposition
to instruct the committee to 60 into full and
thorough investigation, it will be understood
in Kansas and if the country, and throughout
the world that the Senate of the United States
sanctions the frauds by which constitution,
made by small and contemplate minority,
under the lead of Government officials, has been
forced upon the people of Kansas contrary to
the clearest expressions of the popular will. If
the Senate shall refuse to institute the most
searching inquiry into all the matters concern
ing the formation of this constitution, it will
stand before the world and go down to after
ages, associated with the men who have, by
violence and fraud, forced the accursed system
of Slavery upon reluctant people.
