New York papers were lavish in their de-
scriptions of the diamonds, etc, worn at the
Princes Ball. 1t would appear that some Of
the most brilliant were only borrowed plumes.
The Times states on the authority of Dr..
Tying, that the proprietors of one of the great
establishments in Broadway made enough
from the rent of jewels for women to wear
at the Princes Ball, to pay the rent of their
store for yearl
The practice has kingly precedent. When
George ". was crowned King of England,
the Jewels in his. .coronet borrowed expressly
for the occasion, were valued at a million and a
half of pounds sterling, and the fortunate Lon
don jeweler received $500, 1000 as interest for
their use. Some of the New York establish
ments having seen fit to deny that they rent
ed Jewels for the ball, the Times, while con-
demning the wretched taste and extravaganza
ofthose New York women who appeared in
borrowed fnery at the Princes Ball, very
comfortingly remarks-''In In moral point Of
view, there is certainly very little difference
between lending jewels fol, the coronation o.
one Prince of Wales, or lending jewels fol
a ball given in honor of another"

The Tribune of Friday pays the following
graceful compliment to Messrs. Chase, Wade
and Ford. The thanks promised will be the
most acceptable possible:
Ex Gov. Chase of Ohio spoke last evening
at Newark, N. J., and leaves this morning for
home, in Difference to imperative engagements
He has been speaking daily in our State toi
the last fortnight, mainly in the close Con-
gress districts, and has done yeoman service
He speaks very plainly, without parade or or
nament but no man living better understands
the great principles which underlie the can
vass, or has a better faculty for making other;
understand them.
U. S. Senator Wade and Lieut. Gov. Ford
of Ohio have likewise been speaking in Ou
State for some days, and are still. Mr.Wade
is one of the most forcible and Mr.. Ford one
OF the most entertaining speakers We evel
heard. We propose to thank them by oul

Are You n Democruts 3

Well, let us tell you bit Of story. We
will call no names. The other day, an old
Democrat, who has always stuck to his party,
through good report and evil report said:
@pve always been Democrat and am
about tired of it. don't believe the demo-
cratic party stands where it did ten years
ago, and I'm going to vote for Old Abe"
"YOte for the niger part' " said Douglas
Democrat.
"Well," replied the other, 81 voted fol
Pierce when there was no niger excitement
all quiet and after he got in all was Niger.
voted for Old Buck, and it has been Niger,
NIGGER, NIGER, all the time, and now III
try change I'll give the Republicans a
turn any how; it can't be any more Niger
than it has been, and it may be great deal
less."-IroHtoH Reg.

RRPUDLTOAN NOMINATIONS


The Republican Clubs of Chardon and
Painesville offer a splendid National Flag as
a Prize to be won at the Presidential cleo
ton. The terms of contest between the two
counties are as follows;-Geaugs gave, in
1856, majority for Fremont over Buchanan
S52 larger than Lake. On the suppositiOn
that Lake has gained by her increased popu-
lation, since 1856, at least so more Republi-
can votes than GeaugA it is agreed that
Geauga shall take the Flag, if her majority
for Lincoln over Douglas shall be more than
SO2 larger than Lincolus majority in Lake
county-if otherwise, Lake county takes the
Flag.
The Township, in the winning County,
which shall give the largest net gain for Linz
coin over Fremont in proportion to the
whole number Of votes cast in the township
in 1856, shall be entitled to the possession ol
the Flag, until lost in some future contest
The same Flag to be contested for at the State
elections in 1861, 1862, 1868 and 1864, but
the Township winning it in October 1864,
to holdit permanently thereafter. The Prize
is to be awarded to the Banner Township, at q
Grand Republican Glori6cation, to be held il
successful town soon after the Presidential
election.
This rivalry between the Townships and
Counties for the Banner, ought to largely in
crease the November maoriies over the DC.
tober, honorable as they then were to both
Lake and Geauga. Is 900 better too high

south Carolina Election.

Though the Palmetto State threatens to
bolt outright when Lincoln is chosen Presi-
dent and is organizing Minute Men decorated
with blue cockades to defend her treason, she
still continues to hold elections under the
flag Of the Union. South Carolina held her
State Election on the goth of October elect
ing members of Congress and the Legisla-
ture. The Legislature is largely Democratic
and many OF its members are blatant about
dissolving the Federal Union. Senator Ham
mond, however is of a different mind, being
a candidate for reelection to the Senate oi
the present Union.
The members of Congress elect are John
Mcqueen, VIM. P. Mills, Lewis Mayer N.
L. Bonham, John D. Ashmore, and Wm.
W. Boycs The clustering, 6re-eating Law
renee N. Keitt declined reelection, posi-
tive gain to the character Of the House.

served ,Em Right. ;,

This was the unanimous verdict of the
city yesterday morning, which has hardly
yet ceased laughing at the clever retort OF
Gov. Chase upon those persons whose bad
manners permitted them to carry around, in
the great procession night before last, the
caricature of a huge negro, and underneath
the inscription, "The successor of Abraham
Lincoln in 1864" Gov Chase was de-
tained in his carriage by the procession, and
saw this offensive placard. 4" 1t seems" said
he, in openinghis remarks, "tbat our friends
on the other side have already nominated
their candidate. They concede our success,
and care for nothing but the succession, and
they have in advance nominated an African
gentleman for the succession"
The great Wide Awake procession and the
fusion demonstration which Immediately sue
ceeded it, had none of the offensive carica-
lures which abounded in the ranks of the
fusionists night before lase, and if Gov.
Chase will stay in the city till the campaign
is over, it is likely that the enthusiastic De-
mOcracy will restrain the brushes Of its
daubers.-N Y World

Tho French soerct Gold Mines in Afsica.

Tho French soerct Gold Mines In AfeicR.
The Paris correspondent Of the Boston
Post states that the claim Of Mr. Parrish on
the Emperor for the sum Of f6OO, ,OOO, has
been the cause of much controversy in Paris,
and adds;
That the gold mines do exist and that the
Americans have evidently had knowledge OF
them for some time, there can be no doubt
either, nor that Mr. Fould is accustomed to
do business in the way mentioned in Mr.
Parrish's memorial; but great doubt does
exist that all this has really happened. The
mine is that of Bambouk; situated on the
Faleme, which empties itself into the Sene-
gal river This latter river is preserved by
treaty entirely under the control ofthe French
arms, and no ships of any other nation are
allowed 10 enter the hnrbor Of st. Louis, lest
their crews should penetrate into the interior.
The fabulous wealth ofthese Bambouk mines,
have long been known, as no fewer than four
sovcreigns Of France have been on the point
OF fitting out expeditions 10 visit them. A
traveller who returned thence in lS4G, said
he met there tive Russian geologists who had
been despatched by the Emperor of Russia
Ostenslbly TO compare the quality OF the gold
with Of the mines Of Siberia, but in reality
to make a treaty with the king He declared
that the wealth of the country was beyond
description, inhabited by Moors Of industrious
habits and well inclined to civilization.
In 1852 there was a great talk amongst
the English here of an expedition to be fitted
out by Masterman for a visit to the mines
The plan of the exact spot in which they are
situated, and the route by which they are to
be gained without raising suspicion IN the
French authorities, were submitted to a COM
pany Of French engineers, and the arrange
ments agreed upon, when the death of the
principal agent in the affair put an end TO the
speculation. There is still something to be
done by English enterprise. The secret of
the manner Of approach has been well pre-
served, and Liverpool might still secure the
prize with a little exertion. The papers re-
lating to the government are easy Of access
at the library of the Marine, and there exists
two persons in Paris who have beheld with
their own eyes the wonders therein men
toned

TERRIBLE FIGHT-AN EMGRAHT PARTY
MAssACRED BY INDIANs.-The telegraphic
abstract OF Oregon news brought by the last
Pony Express mentioned the massacre of an
emigrant party Of forty-six persons by the
Snake Indians. Fuller details have reached
us. The party were first attacked about
fifty miles on the west side of Salmon Falls
on the 9th of September. This attack lasted
about one hour. The Indians then with
drew and allowed the train to proceed Eve
miles. They then again attacked them
The fight lasted two days and one night
On the afternoon of the 10th, the Indians
had possession of the whole train with the
exceptionof six men, who, being mounted,
escaped. After travelling through the woods
for nine days these six were again attacked,
and five of the party killed Scheiber alone
escaped by hiding in the bushes. After
travelling seven days without food, he was
found in an exhausted condition by some per-
sons who took him to the Dalles. Of the
nineteen males in the party, six were dis
charged soldiers from Ft Hail. Mr.. Scheib-
er is the only one who escaped. He says
that the six men who left on horsebsck, did
not leave until the Indians had complete
possession of the train, and from the screams
of the women and children, he was led to be-
lieve that the whole party were butchered.

A PRINTER IN LUCK The final decision
in regard to the location OF the float upon the
Lawrence town site, it is generally known,
cut off some seventeen acres from the east
side of thecity. This land is, of course, quite
valuable, and it has been a question Of con-
siderable interest as to who would be able to
ao-rre The titls. Tho T.ct1d tl6i,.a has Settled
the question, by allowing John opeer 10 pre-
empt it-paying for the same one dollar and
a quarter per acre. Mr.. Speer is fortunate.

Mr.. Speer formerly published paper at
Medina, Ohio, went to Kansas as a pioneer

Mr.. Ralph Farnham, the survivor of the
Battle of Bunker Hill, has returned to his
home in Acton, Maine, from his visit to
Boston, in fine health and spirits. He received
much attention on the route and in Boston,

to the Prince, and the jolly old hero had a
good time generally. Many very acceptable

More Darbnrism of slavery in Texas.

More Barbarism Of Slavery ia Texas.
The pro-slaveFy rii mans ia texas lave ai-
ded to their many outrages on Northern citi-
zens residing in that State, the hanging of
DR.. Shreves aud Mrs Foster, formerly of
Illinois. DR.. S. and Mr.. Foster removed
with their families from Fairview, ILL.,, to Texas.
The fact that they were Northern men and
from a section where free white labor is re-
spected, was enough to excite suspicion and
put them under the ban Of the negro drivers.
They were warned to leave the State, and
while on the way to Illinois, they were over
taken by tneir prosecutors, and DR.. ShreeveS
and Mrs. Foster summarily secured and hung
to a treel Mr.. Foster aud the remainder Of
the two families escaped.
The Canton Oil. Register of the 23d inst.
states the sad facts, obtained from the friends
of the families at Fairview. It says DR..
Shreeves was not an abolitionist, and when
he left Illinois he was Douglas man.
The fendish spirit which rules in Texas is
illustrated by Bell and Everett newspaper
in that State called the Sherman Patriot. It
openly approves of the hanging Of Rev. Mr..
Bewley, the Methodist clergyman, by pro
slavery mob, and wages a war on Methodist
preachers generally. It declares that they
have no right to visit Texas, and cOngratu-
lates its readers on the fact that these North
ern gospeTers" cannot now remain in Texas
forty-eight hours in safety-thanks to the
vigilance of the chivalric Texas regulator
The Patriot exults that in its section "incen-
diary preachers are hung up win ar i'itl0
ceremony as would be used on the occ.-- on
of the execution of a sheep killing dog, and
are left hanging until the crows devour
them" It also thus fendishly exalts ovel
the murder Of Rev. Mr.. Bewley:
BewIey was saved in Fayetteville, Arkan-
sas, when arrested only by the interposltion
sf the Sheriff of Washington county; there
were eleven Of these wretches in company
with their families, but all escaped except
Bewley.
In the Timber Creek affair, Bishop Jayne:
and the entire Conference left the county
with the exception of Bewley, who boastel
that he was The aOld Horse, and they could
not drive him away. Bishop Jaynes, how,
ever, may rest assured that his " Old Horse
is now duly haltered, and viii remain so a
the discretion Of the buzzards. ...
Such is the Barbarism Of Slavery at thi
day in the State of Texas

viii go back to North Carolina, and seek

however, that the Douglas men in Illinois

sure, but he does not propose to be nicea about

SoUTHERS FAMILY FAsHIoNs.-A. desperate
family fight recently took place at Gates,
North Carolina. Two men named Davis and
Jackson qnarreled about some hogs. Davis
and his wife armed themselves with guns,
axes and knives and presented themselves at
Jackson's house, where general fight ensu-
ed, in which both men, women and children
participated. They shot until their ammuni-
ton gave out, and then closed in with axes,
knives and gun-barrels. During the shoot
ing a son OF Jackson, a mere boy, was killed
by son of Davis, also a lad. Seven of the
party were dangerously wounded, one Of the
women having received broken arm, and, it
is said, fifty buckshotl From all accounts,
they fought as long as they could, und quit
