doors which are characteristic of the architecture
Of that region. One Of tie cities is remarkable for

were found where every stone was covered with
Inscriptions 2 in an unknown character, bearing
some apparent likeness to the Greek alphabet, but
probably referrable II the opinion Of Mr.. Graham,

Of several Inscriptions were presented, and will,
no doubt, engage the attention Of Orientaiists.

Rsa- The cock and bull stories of The
burning of towns and dwellings in North
ern Texas by abolitionists, one of which has
been published by the Enquirer, have been
proven to be gotten up for effect to act on
the Presidential election in. favor of the De-
mocracy. 1t is not likely that abolitionists
ever get that far South. They might as well
90 into the jaws of hell as to attempt
such a scheme. We suppose the truth is,
that the negroes have been told by their
masters, as they were in 1856 when there
was such a panic in the South, that the
Black Republicans were all abolitionists
and meant to free all the niggers, and that
the simple-minded people have believed it,
and have gone to helping on the work. If
the shareholders wish to feel safe, let them
quit lying about the Republicans, and their
niggerS will be contented.

BESrA' The Journal says we are making
fifty cents per day off of our readers by
leaving part of a column of matter stand
ing in our paper. If we make fifty cents
per day Off our readers in this way, how
much do you make off of your readers by
leaving that celebrated article in your col
umns showing that Thomas A. Hendricks
voted for the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise We have not taken the pains to
made the calculation for you, as you have
for us. 1t may be of interest, hoveyer, to
some of your Enquirer.
Neighbor, thatis poor dodge. Our lit
tie item about Hendricks is tue, ana you
do not nor cannot deny it. Being true,
1t ought to be kept before the people, so they
will know what manner of man is asking
their votes for the Governorship.
AS to the amount of type (or " compost
ton y in it, that is mere trife compared
with your three-quarters of column of
falsehood. The article headed " Abe Lin
coin, the Honest Man." we have proven
shamefulIy garbled and unjust. The " Bad
and Dangerous Tenets, &c, is on n par for
truth and decency with those Transparent
cies carried last Saturday night.

ST. LoUIs ELECTIoN.-It is now definitely
ascertained that Frank Blair is elected for
the long term next Congress) by major
ity of near 400. Barrett, the Democratic
candidate, is elected for the short term ire
mainder of the present Congress) by a ma
iority of about 135.
Two hundred and seven Blair votes were
thrown out, because they did not specify
the term for which they were voted; but as
they are all registered ard numbered, there
will be contest, and the persons who de-
posted them will be brought before
the Court to testify for which term
they were cast. SoIt is probable that Mr..
Blair viii get his seat for the short term.
The reason that Barrett got such a large
vote for the short term, is because 2, 400
Union men voted for him, while only 900
voted for Blair. Many of them are now
sorry for voting for Barrett. Their organ,
the Nesr8 " blows them up savagely for
their foolish action.
Considering that most of the Republi-
cans of St. Lonis voted for Orr, Union can
ddate for Governor, the large Union vote
for Barrett was in very bad faith. So says

asa.O Our demagoguical neighbors of the
Squatter organ are still harping in real
Douglas style about the Democracy being
the 3" checked shirt party" and the Repub-
licans the standing collar party" This
kind of talk is simply despicable No party
embraces within its ranks more intelligent
hard a0ork1ng men than the Republican. In
fact it is the party of hard working white
men-founded and kept up to protect and
sustain their interests. Let any person at

1t will be found to be composed mainly Of
the hard workers and thinkers of the

honest living for themselves, and in their
political action they do their own thinking.
They read for themselves and thus gather
facts, and upon them predicate their poliri
cal action. They are not led by the nose
by a " Court House Clique" or any other
junto of corrupt and selfish politicians.
Herein is the difference between Repubii-
cans and modern Democrats. The former

A SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-It is our
melancholy duty to announce the sudden
death of VIM. Earl Collins, son of Thomas
Il. Collins, of this vicinity, by a kick from n
horse. A member of the family having
been taken suddenly i'll, it became necessa-
ry to send for a physician. Young Collins
was placing saddle Oh the animal, for the
purpose of performing theerrand, when ap-
preaching too near the heels of the horse,
he was kicked in the abdomen The acci-
dent occurred on Sunday evening; he lin
gered until Monday evening about clock,
at which time he died, from the effect of
the injury.
He was a youth possessed of excellent
qualities, a favorite with his companions,
and highly esteemed by all who knew him.

pathy we feel, for the bereaved family, in
their saddest affiiction.-N. 4. Tri5.

hmm Republican Mass MeettnSs
The Republicans OF Illinois held an i'm
mense mass meeting at Springfield, the
home of Abe Lincoln, on the 8th inst. Tie
crowd in attendance is estimated at from 40,-
900 to 20, 900 in number. 1t is said to have
doubled or quadruped the Douglas demon
stration of few days ago. Two hundred
and four Railroad cars filled with people
went into Springfield, besides innumeIabIe
wagons, averaging six persons each. At
the Douglas demonstration there were only
thirty-eight cars. The enthusiasm at the
Lincoln rally was unbounded.
On the evening Of the 7th an immense
wigwam was dedicated. There were
speeches by Senator Trumbull, n. B. Judd,
and others.
When the procession was formed, on the
morning of the 8th, it marched past Mr..
Lncoln's house Mr. Lincoln stood on the
steps, bowing to the throng and shaking
hands with his friends. The procession
numbered 5000 persons, and was four hours
passing Mr.. Lincoln house.
Mr.. Lincoln was induced against his will
to 90 to the place Of speaking and address
the multitude, which he did amidst great
enthusiasm. His speech was modest and
devoted to the cause rather than himself.
Mr. LincoIn's demeanor on the occasion is
highly spoken of.
The Wide Awakes were on hand in i'm
mense numbers and made a respIendent
show.
This demonstration was probably never
excelled, unless by the great Tippecanoe
celebration of 1910. 1t indicates an up
rising for Old Abe equal to that for Old
Tippecanoe We believe Lincoln's triumph
will be as decisive as Harrsons.

EssH The Enquirer wants the Wide
Awakes to turn out and do honor to Judge

find plenty of better business. About that

speech to be perpetrated there-that they had
run off Republican speakers in former days

were pickpockets. Last winter they voted
almost in body, in the House of Repre-

Kentucky they voted, on the recommenda-
