A Grand FiZZle.

From TIE Huntington Democrat we
learn that the contested election suits,
which have caused so much interest in
that county. have all been Withdrawn by
the contestants. The Republicans claimed
at the commencement of the suits, that
there were not as many straight Republic
an tickets tailed and on file, as they could
prove were voted. There was not one out
of dozen of their witnesses that could
tell half the names on the Republican tick
ct. although they had studied it for weeks.
as boy would his lesson. The conse-
quence was they could not prove as many
as were counted. The whole affair was
gotten up for political capital. The lead
ers of the party there believed they could
buy up enough loafcrs and easy conscience
gentlemen to gain the suits, and thus a
great victory would be gained for freedom!
But after continuance of several weeks
the funds became short-hope waned, and
the great farce 6zzled.

Hard Times.

Almost every man we meet now days
is complaining of the weather, the roads,
and the hard times. It's.no use grum-
bling. The weather is very changeable,
and probably, before this meets the eyes
Of the reader, it will have changed from a
snow storm to rain storm.
The roads are not so changeable. They
are generally spoken of as being bad, -
bu; now they are Jadder, and not much
prospect of being better soon.
The times are hard, if the people tell the
truth-and we doubt not but what they
debut for the life Of us we are unable
to conceive the reason why. The crops
raised in Marshall County last year were
about an average, and the prices for all
kinds of produce has been higher than it
was last year. Good wheat has brought
one dollar per bushel this fall. corn from
forty to sixty cents, potatoes from three
shillings'to sixtytwo cents, and everything
else raised on farm in proportion. The
farmers have received cash for everything
they have sold; unless they were head
.over-heels' in debt, there must be consid-
cable money in the County not in circula-
ton. We hope that if they have any mon
ey past them,' they will see the necessity
of Smelling OUT and paying as far as it
will go. the little debts they are owing
for instance, one man owes us a dollar for
our paper; We owe the paper maker, the
ink maker. DC. but so long as our dues
are withheld those We are owing will have
to wait on US, and their creditors will have
TO wait on them, and SO on. One dollar
put in circulation might, in short time,
pay hundred debts.
We do not imagine that the farmers have
brought their produce to town and receiv-
the money for it. and took the money home
and locked it up in their trunks. when they
are owing numerous debts that should be
paid. However, there is one thing certain,
""u 'o~' 10 'h"' 'heio nave oee" 'hous"huo
Of dollars paid for the produce Of this
County last year, and that their is scarcely
any money in circulation now. Where
the money has gene, if it has gone, we are
unable to say.
We arc waiting for that good time
coming until then, we will have to grin
and bear it,

ETWe suppose that Mattingly thinks

that he was rat He says, "a Rat,
among printers, signifies one that works
for less than established prices, and yet
they say We charge more than they dol"
Now, We can inform him that if man
sees seven horses, and steals six of them,
he is a thief, and the fact that he did not
take all of them, does not clear him. So
it is with rafting If he rats once, that
is sufficient to entitlc him to the name; and
if he does charge his individual customers
two or three prices. it does not free him
from the name we gave him. He first vi

price, than do it ourselves for anything
less. Our experience with him since that
time has proved that In permitting him to
take the printing without competition, we
were bat throwing pearls before swine, a."

prcd'Sality again. He having first RATED,
We did not feel disposed to i've up to for

the legal work at little less rate; conse-
quently, we bid on the Delinquent list and

so easily that it is wonder TO him yet
how he failed to get it. Our bid on the

about twenty per cent. What will the

in both papers tell us that our bills are
much lower than his. So. the people can
see that his statement, tina. he does print
ing cheaper than we. is unqualifedly false
His statement that our circulation is only
four or five hundred. would have been true
had it been applied to his own paper; IN

fearing that his mistake might cause an
erroneous impression in regard to the rel

VICTORY!

clean sweep!

Thare was complete union OF the Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature in the
joint convention held yesterday for the
election of various State officers, and the
result was a Democratic triumph. All
past differences were practically ignored,
and Democrats unitedly supported Demo.
cratic nominees. Prejudice were nobly

tain the integrity of the Democratic or
gauizat;on. Tire nominees were al, what
are termed anti Lecompton Democrats; yet
the Lecompton Democrats manfally and
generously abided and sustained the nom.
nations. We allude to these nominal
distinctions to show the divo;un that was
manifested to the cause and to restore har-
rl0ny in the ranks, not that we recognize
any such divisions in the party as anti-Le-
compton or Lecompton Democrats. The
complete success of yesterday we regard
as prestige of success in 1869. To Sc
cure a Democratic triumph then. only re-
Quires that past issues should be discarded
and in the future recognition of the
rights Of every Democrat to all the privi-
leges and honors of his party.
The successful candidates are all Dem
ocrats, and will be found faithfully uphol-
ding the Democratic banner. They all
possess. too. the Jetfersonian qualifications
Of capacity, integrity and failhfulness to
the Constitution. They will faithfully full
gil the various trusts with relit to them.
selves and their party. and with honor to
the Safe. We congratulate tie Democra-
cy of Indiana on this triumph over Repub
licanism--a sentiment which will find Il re-
sponsive echo in the heart of every Dem
ocrat. We have obtained not a barren but
fruitful victory. The following is the
result of the election in join. convention:
On the first ballot GRAFTON F. COOKER
LY. of Vigo county. THOMAS NJ BRowx Of
Floyd, and SAMUEL II. BusXIRK of Mon
roe were elected Directors Of the State
Prison.
On the first ballot JAMES r. BRYANT Of
Marion. was elected State Librarian.
On the sixth ballot RICHARD RALEIGm of
Vanderburgh. was elected Trustee Of the
Wabash and Erie Canal
On the first ballot Col JOHN c. WALKER.
Of La Porte, was elected State Printer.
The name of AQuILLA JONES was then
Withdrawn by Hon. SMITH JONES, as a
candidate for Agent of State. who subsi-
tuted therefor that Of JAMES A CRAvENs,
of Washington county. Mr. Cravens was
elected Oh the first ballot.
In contests for public position all can not
be successful--some must be disappointed.
The voice of the people must rue--the
will Of the majority must govern. While
we regret the disappointment of friends.
we cannot refrain from rejoicing in the VIC
tory as a triumph over our political ene-
mics. This will be an une expected victory
to the Democracy of the State after the
failure Of the Democracy to organize the
