ca The proceedings OF the Democratic
meeting at this place, on Saturday last, will
be found in another colum. Though not SO
large as it might have been, the meeting was
still respectable in numbers Major Dewart
was called to preside, who stated the object
of the meeting. The Majors remarks were
brief, but we'll expressed and to the point,
and, were creditable even to member of
Congress. The speeches of Gen. Clement,
Judge Helfenstine, Col. Cameron, II. Donnel,
w. p. Wilmington aud DR.. Livermore, were
well received.
Judge Hefenstine reviewed Mr.. IIotten.
stnes courseat Charleston, with considerable
damage to his Democracy But friend Hot.
tenstine, who was not present, sent an epistie,
in which he takes shelter behind a new posi-.
tion. He contends that every man, woman
and child, not present, is to be considered as
approving his course. This is certainly ori.
ginal, if not Democratic.
Mr.. Hottenstine is instructed TO support
Judge Douglas. Should he refuse. Major
Dewart is appointed TO superssde him.

Ey THE JAPANEsE.-The Japanese ar
rived in Philadelphia on Saturday last, having
been in Baltimore on Friday, where they met
with warm reception from the Mayor and
citizens, including the military. Upon their
arrival at Philadelphia they were met by the
military under the command Of Major Gene
raj Patterson the Mayor and City Councils,
Governor Packer and the State officials, the
Judges of the Supreme Court and the other

Broad street to Walnut, out Walnut to
Nineteenth, up Nineteenth to Arch, down
Arch to Third, down Third to Chestnut, and
up Chesuut to the Continental Hotel, where
quarters had been provided for the accommo-

the route is described as having been most
brilliant one. Every available spot was oc.
cupied, and ii is estimated that not less than
100000 persons witnessed the procession.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is time Northumberland
county should present the name OF some
suitable person for State Senator. This
county has claims which the Democracy of
the district will not disregard, if suitable
candidate is presented. The Importance Of
being well and faithfully represented in the
State Senate is at oil times desirable it is
peculiarly so, when United States Senator
is to be elected. That is one Of the most
honorable and important positions in the gift
of the people, and no man should be placed
in it whose political creed is not such as has
been adopted by the Democratic party-wbo
cannot be corrupted, and who is able to advo-
cate such measures, as one calculated to
promote our country's best interests. The
Hon. GEORGE G. WELKER, of Sunbury, is fa-
vorably known to the Democracy of the dis
trct. l know of no one who would be
more faithful representative no one whose
political record is more purely Democratic
Northumberland county is entitled to the
Senator, and when o man so well qualified as
Judge WELKER is named, there should be no
serious objection made to his nomination BY
any DEMOCRAT.

Now as to Messrs. Whittlesey and Edison,
they are clever men socially, but they are
both young, inexperienced, Eighty in their
notions, visionary in their plans, and without
that ripe experience of business and the
disciplinary affairs Of life possessed by
Messrs. Hopkins and Hugo. They are both
petifogging lawyers and tools of scheming
politicians, whose whole study is how to
foist themselves into some fat sinecure,
that will keep them without work at the
expense of the taxpayers. They are
totally uuacquainted with the necessities
of the people of the county and if SO
strange a thing should happen as that
the people of Vanderburgh ani Posey should
elect them over such first-class men as Messrs
Hopkins and Hugo, they would go to Indi-
annapolis for the purpose of spending win
ter of idleness, self-indulgence, and politi-
cal scheming. They would neglect the busi-
ness of their constituents, or only half at
tend to it. Being full of gas" and self
conceit, on every possible occasion they
would be popping up and gostrating' to
show themselves of, consuming valuable
time and losing to the State hundreds of
dollars during the session. And it may be
set down as a fixed fact, that, having no
vor the prolongation of the session to the
full Constitutional time, whether there was
business to do or not. Thus would the
people of Yanderburgh and Posey send up
to the State Capital two Representatives
without influence, without business expert
ence, without any of the qualifications that
the two counties, more than any in the
State, need. Whereas, if they elect Messrs.
Hopkins and Hugo, they will have Repre-
sentatives who will WELD for them in the
New Apportionment, and in all other move
ments of 'pith and moment" the full meas
ures of influence and weight that ought to
belong to this important portion Of the
State. If we ever needed well-qualified,
steady going, dispassionste, reliable, inhu-
entail, industrious representatives, we dc
now, when our rights under the new cen.
sus are to be determined, and when SO
many subjects of vital Importance are to be
acted on.
We ask the careful attention of the peo-
pie of the two counties to these conSidera-
tions. 1t behooves them to reflect serious
ly as to whether they will not vote for two
practical business men like Messrs. Hopkins
and Hugo, rather than for two pettifogging
partizans, inexperienced in the serious and
substantial concerns of life, and mere tyros
and pIaythings in the hands of designing
men.

THE DISTRICT EAIR-Thlrd Day

The rainy weather yesterday morning
prevented the programme for the forenoon
from being carried out. There were very
few in attendance, and nothing worthy of
note was done. But in the afternoon when
the skies had cleared up the trains went out
to the Grounds crowded with passengers,
and the number in attendance soon exceeded
that of either of the prt ceding days.
The exhibition in the rim of horses of all
grades took place, and &C mprised many noble
specimens of the most eau .iful of domestic
animals. but on account o: the moist and
slippery state Of the gro md no trials of
speed could be made. For the same reason
| the grand tournament which was to have
| taken place was postponed until Saturday.
The principal feature of the afternoon
| was the Firemen's parade. The procession
was led by the Crescent City engine, hand
somely trimmed with evergreens, upon
which rode thirteen little boys dressed in
| continental costume and representing the
thirteen original States. Following were
the Evansville Brass Band and the members
of Crescent City and D. K. Fire Companies
in their neat uniforms of black caps and
pants and buff shirts trimmed with blue.
Two banners were carried in the procession.
One of them bore the device of fire engine
surrounded by the inscription, "CFeseent
City No. !, org0aiEed 1882" On the reverse
was the representation Of great eye and
the motto "Dedth TO the FLdfhes." The other
banner bore the name of the Company C. o.
K" and their motto "HuLtuna in PdreO,"
and several other Inscriptions. The two
Companies number nesrly a hundred men,
and the display was very fine.
The programme for to -dsy is a very at
trscuve one aud we hope there will be a
good crowd out to see it. The exhibition

nice stock of dry goods and notions for
