Thursday has the following announce
ment in relation to the election which
was to be held on that day for members
of the Richmond legislature. I'D %.
"The committee of gentlemen appoint
ed to make necessary arrangements Tor
the election of to-day, at meeting held
ON Monday last, determined, in pursu-
ance of the request of Gov. Peirpont,
and the adj, ice of the commander of the
Middle Military Department that it was
inexpedient, under the circumstances, to
attempt to hold the proposed election.
There apill, then, be no election held to day
in Jefferson County"
The Press seems not to have heard of
Governor Boreman's proclamation.
A very bitter and exciting campaign
is in progress in Berkeley county between

billingsgate as will certainly damage
his cause in the estimation Of gentlemen
and of all who love courtesy between
opposing candidates.

THE conciliatory policy adopted by
President JOHNSON and advocated by
the Democratic party in this State and
elsewhere, is not only the teaching of
wise craftsmanship and the demand of
honest patriotism, it is also in accordance
with the spirit of that Divine Master,
who said, eff go forgive men their tres
passes, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you; but, if We forgive not men
their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Another Coed Nomination.

We are glad to learn Stat Major HEN
RY H. WlrHERs, ofWestons has consent
ed to reprsssAt Mo psSpioof Lewis conn
ty in the HOUSE q delegates next win
ter. Major wrrHERs is a man of fine
ability as a soldier, q scholar and gem
tleman. and is q very FIRM opponent OF
the proscriptives policy which the radi-
Gals are seeking TO fasten upon our state
He will receive the united support OF tne
soldiers and conservative men OF Lewis
county. and will certainly reelected.
By the way, it is notable fact and
one to which attention has been called
heretofore, that the soldiers who have
served most faithfully and honorably
during the war are now among the first
to take their fallen foes by the hand and
welcome them back to their allegiance
to the constitution Of the United States.
GRANT and SHERMAN set the example
and the generous spirit manifested by
these chivalrous cbieftains has permea-
ted almost the entire army. In the bor-
der counties of our own State from which
young men who had been bosom friends
went forth and connected themselves
with the opposing armies and met each
other in hostile array, these men now
come back and renew their former friend
ship and, without a word Of bitterness
concerning the past, 60 to work together
to remove every vestige Of the late an
happy strife. Major WrTHERs is type
Of that class. He was justly distin
guished for his bravery and skill while
serving in the Federal army and he vim
dicates his title to the good REPUTATION
he has borne by laboring, new that the
war is over, to restore true peace, harmo.
ny, and good feeling among all classes
of the people.

PARADEOFTHE PHILADELPHIA
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 16.-The GRAND
parade of the Philadelphia Fire Depart
ment to-day is one of the most imposing
and splendid pageants ever presented in
this country. The I recession is com.
posed of twenty-five divisions. each
numbering from four to six companies
in all over one hundred and fourteen
including over thirty visiting comma.
MES: six from New York city, one from
Boston, one from Albany, one from Buff
falo, one from Salem, Mass, two from
Jersey City, one from Newark, two from
Washington, one from Lebanon, Pa,
one from Allentown, four from Camden,
New Jersey, two from Reading, one
from Harrisburg, one from Pittsburg
and one from Wilmington. Delaware.
Most of the visiting companies brought
phia companies turn out with entirely
new engines and hose carriages, and all
the apparatus are decorated with most
excellent taste.
The last general parade of our firemen
took place in 1852, and this is the first
time that all the steam engines of the
city, thirty-fiye in number, have been
displayed at one time, which, with the
ambulances which have been used by
the firenen for the conveyance of sick
and wounded soldiers during the war,
formed a most interesting feature of the
procession. Many of these ambulances
were gotten up regardless of cost, and
with a view to comfort as well as beauty.
Nearly every company in the line is
accompanied by musicians, comprising
the most celebrated bands in the Union
The weather is most eXcellantly adapt
ed for the parade, especially as the route
is Of such great length. The morning
opened cool and pleasant, with breeze
from the west. The streets are crowded
with people. Hundreds of thousands
are gathered along the route, which in
cludes all sections of the city. There
are large number of strangers in the
city and others are hourly arriving to
see the great show. The Lecturer to- day
estimates that the parade will turn out
more men than followed i'm Gen. SCOTS
grand army upfrom Vera Cruz to the Hall
of the Montezumas. The houses along
the route are gaily decorated with flags
and immense arches are thrown across
the streets at many points. Immense
stands have been erected for the accom-
mediation of spectators. II is estimated
that the line Of parade is nearly ten
miles in length.
The drill of most of the companies is
perfect, and their excellent marching
indicates the military education most of
the fremen have received during the
recent war; Ma
The day will be memorable one in
the history of the city, and noble in
dication of the worth of our volunteer
fremen.

The New Orleans Picdyule of the 9Th
instant, says: Whilst party of U. S.
cavalry, who had been scouting in some
of the upper counties of Texas, were re-
turning to Jefferson, Marion county,
they halted at Hickory Hill, Cass
county, to bury one of their number,
who had died-four men being detailed
to perform the funeral ceremonies. A
number of ladies and gentlemen of the
vicinity attended out of respect. Three
ruffians, armed with six shooters, sud
denly rode UP and commenced firing on
the soldiers, two of whom were killed
outright, one was wounded in the head
and fell to the ground, the fourth es-
capped to the woods. The murderers
carried off the horses, arms and equip
ments of the soldiers. The command
ant at Jefferson offered a reward of 81 900
for the apprehension of the bushwackers.
The citizens of the adjacent counties
held public meeting in which they ex-
press strong indignation at the co wardly
act. ...a ....., .#.

his duty, requested the Governor pri-
vately to inquire into the truth of the
averred cruelties practiced upon a
prisoner, not yet convicted of any
crime, but merely held for trial. Now
we can see nothing wrong in Mr.. Cur
It's doing this much for his client. But
what does Brownlow do? Why, instead
OF investigating the truth of the allega-
ton, he publishes Mr.. Curtis'snote and
makes it the text of brief letter which
he also publishes, in which he, the Cor
ern0r Of q State, attempts to prejudice
the case of the prisoner, by asserting
that he is guilty of all the crimes charged
against him, and that he is felon. n
rebel, monster, amurderer, and deserv-
ing OF no better treatment than that TO
which it is alleged he is subjected.
Brownlow, like a preacher, believes very
likely, in the original guilt of all man
KIND, and does not see the necessity of
trial to prove what is already estab-
llshed in his own mind by rumor; but,
as Governor of the State, and high Of
ficer of the law, he was bound to recol-
lect that the law looks upon every man
as innocent until he is tried and fully
convicted, and anything like punish
ment before conviction is contrary to
every principle of justice. l..

ENGLISH iMPERTINENCE.

Now that the war ia over, and slavery
is abolished, and freedom is everywhere
established in America-we cannot help
asking, with the New York Express, is
it not about time that certain English
Abolition orators, who have been, for a
year or more, wandering all over the
Northern and Eastern States, lecturing
in behalf of the Republican party
thought about returning to the old
country? There certainly can be no
further work for them to do here-while
a good deal nearer home--that is to say,
in Ireland. there is pretty loud cry for
Liberty " and "Justice coming up
'tnd if anything can be done to stop
that cry, if not by demanding at
once the "iustice and equality" of
the British Government, at least by in
quiring into the grievances of the COM
plainants, it seems to us such gentlemen
as the Rev. DR.. Massey should not be
now, out in Ohio, campaigning there
for the Loyal Leaguers, but in Exter
Hall, London, or in College Green, Dub
lin, or in Kilkenny, or in Skibbereen.
Let us have liberty for Irishmen, as
well as for the negro or, if Mr.. Massey's
government is not ready, just yet, to
grant that boon, let him, at least, lend
his pen and tongue to bring it, fair and
square, up to the mark. ....
