friends Of Mr.. Wilbur:
Republicans and Democrats ! d.
you wish to derive any benefit from

is capable, both with his tongue and
his pen, to advocate the cause Of cdu-
cation among you ; one whose snpc-
rIor qualifications and experience will

as an actual teacher, and fifteen years
as n school officer in the State of New
York, and one year as teacher in
Floyd county. He is also an acting
Justice of the Peace in Floyd town

spect to the administration of laws.

Powers and COnger.

These gentlemen, entertained our
citizens on Saturday evening with an
exposition of their views on National
and State politics. Mr.. Powers, who
is the Republican candidate for Scna,
tor from this District, surpassed the
expectations Of his friends anl com,
plctcly siIcnccd the howlings Of his
opponents who have been 50 ass;duUus
in representing that he was a man Of
no talent and could not make speech.
He was both eloquent and able, and
he backed up his arguments and state
mcnts 10y documentary evidence such
as no one could gainsay. Mr.. ConScr,
from Ovcr-wcariness, or some other
cause, did not sustain the reputation
which he enjoys as a stump orator
lie failed to rcintc single argument
advanced by Mr. Powers, and 50 cha
grincd were his Democratic friends
that they were induced to call in lit
tie foreign aid after the discussion had
closed The Democrats took nothing
by the discussion that evening, save
q wet blanket.

Dodge and his Retinne.


Gen Dodge is accompanied in his
"lcctionccring tour 10y a rctinuc OF
drunken loaicrS who disgrace the low
est duggcry in the State. Amongst
them is VIII Tumliusnn, who is re-
porter for the State journal, but who
was so drunk when here that he was
not able to go to the Court House to
hear the speeches. When he arrived
ut the Clark House he demanded to
know if that was a Democratic house
On being answered in the negative,
he sworc that he would not stop at n
Republican house. In the meantime
the ostlcr had seated himself in the
buggy with the intention Of taking
charge of the horses but Mr.. Tomlin-
sons Democratic sCruplCs were not to
he overcome Ivy an ostIcr, and he in
sisted on going to a Democratic house.
The ostler finally told him that he
would take him to such an one, and
started towards the barn. At this
stage of the proceedings one Of Mr..
rs associates int"rtcrcd. took him
i''u' t'' buSSs, an" t"l'''u '"'' W
