Capt. CHARLES W. NASH, the Demo.
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
is lawyer of high standing at the bar,
has had experience in legislative bodies,
and possesses every requisite qualification
for the office to which he has been nomi-
mated. In the army and in every position
in civil lite which he has occupied, he has
developed high sttainments and gained
the respect of men Of all parties We
speak of what We know, when we say,
that to him, more than any other man, is
due the present encouraging prospects of
railroad to Winona-for it was through
his energy and influence that this "ball
was set in motion, as well Is many other
measures Of practical legislation for the
benefit of the people Of the whole State.
There is not on either ticket for State OF.
ficees . more honest or . more CAPABLE
man than Capt. OHARB ". NASH, and
his election viii be an honor 70 the people
of the State. He has in this canvass %.
culiar claims upon the regard Of those Who
believe in bestowing political rewards for
sacrifices made in the war. Capt NASH
gave up lucrative business to enter the
service, and occupying % be has for .
long time, most responsible position, not

uttered against him. BE ought to receive,

Vote Down the Negro Amend
# ment.

The call on every voter, who claims to
be q white man, to vote down the pro-
pos ed amendment to our State constitu-
ton, allowing negroes, no matter how de-
based and ignorant, the right to vote in
all future elections in this State. The bal
lot on this amendment must be on sepa-
rate slip of paper from that containing the
names of candidates for State and local Of
tioers. Let no white man fail to put in Q
ballot on which is written or printed these
words. AGAINST amendment to sec
ton one, article seoem." If you have not
the printed ballots, with these words, sit
down and write them, and sufficient
number of them for every white man in
your election precinct. If you have a
neighbor who is inclined to vote for tho
amendment, shame him out of the unnatu-
raj idea, and persuade him to vote against
it. If you meet those Who are Indifferent,
and do not propose to vote on tho ques-
ton, it will be easy to convince them OF
their duty in the premises. Lot every
white man vote against the amendment,
and q majority will be rolled up against it
that will deter any negro-worshipping legis-
lature from submitting tho question again
to the people.

All Arrangements Made for It..It u
20 Take Place before the United
states Supreme Court ut Wash.
lngtOn. e

NEW YoRK, Oct. 1.-THE. Herald of to-
morrow morning will announce al the de-
tails of the arrangement of the government for
the trial of jefferson Davis. II appears that
the trial was decided upon in cabinet session
in August last, and that the government has
only waited for the close of the Wirz trial to
make the announcement.
The hopes entertained by the friends of Da-
Wis, since the speech Of the President to the
South Carolina delegation, in which he init
mated that clemency towards Davis might be
exercised, are to be dashed to the earth.
The trial is to be before the Supreme Court
at Washington, and, since Davis State has null
lifted the ordinance of secession instead of re-
pealing it, he will be tried as if still Senator
Of the United States.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Chase will preside.
The charge will be that of treason and will be
confined to few specifications. The purpose
of the government is not merely to punish
Davis, but to define the nature of treason, fix
its punishment, reveal the atrocities of which
legal precedent for the future which will be .
terror to future traitors, and forever disgrace
the treason which, for time, was respectable
by reason of its power and formidability.
The attorney general has selected the coun-
sci to aid him in the prosecution, and Mr.. Davis
has been allowed to select his attorney. Mr.
Speed will be assisted in the prosecution by
oCus AOVCU IL UOuooCous VI AcutuCky,
Hon. VIM. Evarts, of New York, and Hon.
John II. Clifford, of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Evart's disputes with Charles OConnor,
the principal lawyer of Mr.. Davis, for the front
rank among the lawyers of New York. He is
probably the ablest criminal lawyer retained in
the case. A strong Republican, he was the
Seward Weed candidate for the Senate when it
was understood that Senator Morgan was to be
appointed Secretary of the Treasury. He has
never held any political Office, though he has
been prominent in politics.
Mr.. Clifford was Attorney General of Massa-
chusetts, and won bis first legal laurels az the
prosecutor of Webster for the murder OF Dr.
Parkman, in 1850
Gen. Rousseau and Mr.. Speed are we'll known
to the public.
Chas. O'Connor will be assisted by Ransom
8. Gillet, formerly solicitor of the Treasury in
Buchanan's days.
1t is stated that Mr.. Davis declares his iaten.
ton to conduct his case in person.
