Gszg" To-day we run up the names Of
Douglas and Johnson, nominees for Presi-
dent and Vice President OF tire United
States; not, however, because the former is
our first choice, or the choice OF four ffths
OF the Democracy of Warrck county-for
we know he Is not. Neither do we declare
our intention to support Mr.. Douglas, be-
cause we approve Of the course of the Con-
vention that nominated him. The spirit
and feelings which controlled the action Of
that Convention were, in our opinion, well
calculated to do a great deal oil mischief and
accomplish but very little good, so far rs the
success of the Democratic party and its prin-
ciples is concerned. However, as matters
now stand, we shall support Messrs. Doug
las and johnson, as it is evident to our mind
that Mr. Douglas is the only man who can
save Indiana from falling into the hands of
the Black Republicans, and thus contribute
to the defeat of Lincoln to the Presidency.

THE BLUE RIBBON OF THE TURF.-The
Philadelphia Press says: Some curious per-
sons may ask, "What is the Derby ?" With
our usual suavity and chara cteristic resdi-
mess, we reply:
EPSON, u small market town, in the
county OF Surrey, is situated close to Ban
stead downs, and is some fifteen miles from
London. On these downs, in the week be
fore Whitsuntide, comes off the annual En-
glish Satlrnalia called Epson Races. The
two events of these races are the contests
for the Great Derby Stakes and the Oaks.
former Earl of Derby, with the sporting
predictions which seem to run in the blood
OF the Stanleys, occupied country seat
called the Oaks, close to EPSON. Here tor
merly lived that General Burgoy ne who
surrendered to General Gates at Saratoga,
in l777. Three years earlier he had writ
ten play which, after his own residence,
he called " The Maid of the Oaks" To en-
courage horse-racing, the Earl of Derby
gave two prizes, to be run for ut EPSON
These are " The Derby" which invariably
comes off on Wednesday, and &" The Oaks"
which is contested on Friday. The names
remain, but the prizes run for are raised by
subscription"

High School Examination.


The examination of the High School on
Tuesday completed the arduous duties ofour
diligent and worthy trustees, who, we doubt
not, are as willing to retire from their la
borious task as are teachers and pupils to
relinquish the imparting and receiving of
that knowledge so essential to the young
idea in its " shooting capacity.
Notwithstanding the uncomfortable state
of the weather during the past examina-
tions, we were pleased to notice the bravery
with which the gallant little bands would
resist each and every charge of the we'll
tried veterans. No quarter has been given
by trustees or teachers, nor has any been
required, since the youthful ideas were
strongly garrisoned at every point.
The High School Examination passed off
very ereditably to both teachers and pupils.
The manners of the pupils throughout the
day in such hotr0om was truly praiseworthy
and were evidence of that thorough ami sys-
tematic training so essential to the order
and quietude of the School-rOom, and for
which we think their teachers Mr.. Butter
field and Miss Colburn are deserving Of
much credit.
At the close of the afternoon exercises,
Young America mounted the " rostrum
and exhibited atypical view ofthe eloquence
of Cicero and Demosthenes. doubt not
some of these latter day elocutiouists would
receive no detriment if they should copy
the style of some of these youthful orators.
We cannot refrain from speaking of young
LAW, who spoke finely and appeared SO
much Sat home for speaker Of his age.
Master Pennington also acquitted himself
admirably. characterization was distinct, and
his manners easy and graceful. We think
he exhibited marks of oratory seldom no.
ticed in one so young. That paper, too,
was really gem which we acknow ledge
we had not expected to discover. Many
were the I" keen hits" it contained, and then
the style in which it was read by Miss Mag
gle Walker lent enchantment to the whole
production.
To our efficient trustees we cannot be too
grateful for the services they have rendered
in bringing our schools up to the standard
they have attained.
Much more would be happy to speak of,
but time and space forbid at this time.

FITzPATRIcK DEcLINEs-A GREAT Loss TO
THE DOUGLAS TIcKET.-Senator Fitzpatrick,
Of Alabama, the original nominee of the
Douglas party for Vice President, has de-
clined that honor, and Herschel V. Johnson,
of Georgia, takes his place. This is q loss
both ways to Mr.. Douglas. First, there is
something of the " sweet Irish brogue in
the name of Fitzpatrick. He would have
done very well for lineal descendant of
st. Patrick, at least till after the election
A Dublin paper has shown that Garibaldi IS
a descendant of m Ir;shpan n;tInel Garry
Baldwin. How easy then, to prove Fitz-
patrick chip of the ouid sod. But Fitz-
patrick has refused this use of his name, and
thus gives Mr.. YPncy another victory over
Douglas. In the next place, if we mistake
not, Herschel Y. johnson was a red hot Sc
cessionist in 1851, and this puts a stop to
the Douglas cry of " disunionists against
the other wing of the party How often is
it that when luck turns against man every
thing turns against him. In such a case sit
never rains but it pours.' ~ !. Herald.
