ought to secure the Indictment of Davis IN some
state where there would be a reasonable pros
pect of procuring jury to do justice to the case.
Bangor Wing and Courier.
1t hardly seems possible that such absurd
folly a. the above indicates, can be put for
ward in serious earnest. The Bangor Hh'g
and Courier has the most contemplate opin-
ion Of the intelligence of its readers IN pre-
Stunning to lay such stuff before them.
1t is shame and disgrace to the country
that JEFF. Davis is not tried. He is under IN
dicsment, held by the civil laws, and the
President has earnestly desired the chief JUS
tlce to try him, but Judge Chase persistsntiy
refuses, and there is q personal reason tor
this REFUSAL for, as q contemporary well
says, "Chase feels that there would he more
than Jefferson Davis on trial and he fears
the result. He once counsel.ed the very
thing, as governor of Ohio, for which Jefer-
con Davis is now held prisoner in Fortress
Monroe, on charge of high treason VIZ
resistance, by force and arms. to the authori-

MEETING AT COAL VALLEY.

On Thursday the democrats and conserva-
tlves had a fine meeting at Coal Valley. The
excursion train from this city carried out 273
persons, by actual count. number more
joined the party at Camden, and there was a
falr turnout of Coal Valley people-not SO
many as we would have been glad to sse-bus
respectable turnout
The nesting was held at Weyerha user's
lumber yard. Mr.. W.,very kindly assisted in
getting up temporary stand, and furnishing
table, chairs &C., &c. Thanks to Mr. Wey-
erhauser.
Joseph South Esq, of Coal Valley called
the assembly to order and acted as chsirman.
lie first introduced Mr.. Bowlss. our caadi.
date for the legislature who made few ap-
propriate remarks
Judge Thompson then took thu stand and.
for over an hour, held the close attention of
'ne audience, by very clear, calm, and i'm
psrfiai exposition of the great questions now
agisatlng the country. The Judge was fire.
quently applauded, and made very fine i'm
preston upon all who heard him.
Capt. Pepper followed, in one of his short.
sharp and spicy speeches, which brought
frequent and hearty applause.
Judge Drury was then called for. and
spoke, with excellent effect, for about half an
nous, elicising hearty applause and leaving
good impression upon all who heard him.
The meeting closed with cheers for the
speakers, the President, the Union &c., &C..
ana the excursion train turned to Rock Ii.
land, arriving here about O'Clock.
There was large number of ladies pres.
ent, and all seemed to enjoy the ride and the
speeches very much.
The only blunder was that the committee
DID not provide more passenger coaches
They are excusable however, as no one ex-
pectsd one-half as large a crowd. 1t was
very gratifying to see as much interest felt in
she conservative cause and to see 30 many
itom THIS city turn out. 1t is good evidence
'nas sne people are awake to the Importance
of the contest.

A STARTLING EXPOSE.
The Radical Government of Missouri DIS
tributng Arms to Put Down the ConserSa-
tives--They are Seized by Gen. Hancock.
From the st. Louis Times, Sept. IS.

From the st. Louis Times, Sept. rs.
For sometime past it has been known that
many thousand stand Of arms were deposited In
tina state store house, northeast corner OF Main
and Morgan streets, formerly used as foundry.
Clandestine shipments of arms have been known
to have taken place at different times, the result
of a careful watch which has been extended over
the premises During the cholera epidemic,
ambulances were employed to convey cases OF
arms from the warehouse to such localities as
we're fixed upon. The managers of the radical
party sholding commissions under Governor
Fletcher became suspicious, short time since,
that all was not going on WE'LL and the result
was that the person in charge of the store house
was dismissed and a blatant radical put in his
place. The commander of the department, Gen.
Hancock, has had his eye on our doughty gov
ernor, however, ever since the publication of
his ''lost correspondence" wherein he spoke Of
amusing the conservatives by combining their at
tention to the registry law. On Friday coup dc
etat was quietly enacted, by which possession OF
these arms passed from the state to Gen. Han
cock The governor was allowed to bull his full
length of rope, when he was brought up with q
round turn. The result was amusing it was
decisive. The arms were all boxed and ready
for shipment, and the next day would have seen
them IN transit for Jefferson City, where they
were to be distributed to the tools of our oath
| respecting governor, to put down, at the point
of the bayonet, conservative efforts 60 regain
possession Of the state. A rumor reached him
| that the game was tracked too late for remedy.
| The names of the consignees were partially era
| sed, but that was all The entire lot WAS secur-
| ed. One box, marked to Colonel K. Poser, Her
mann, Mo-, was discovered among the number,
which, with the rest, were taken in possession by
Gen. Calender who has them safely deposited
| in the United States arsenal.
| The police were required to attend the seizure,
| to prevent any local disturbance, and complied
| with the requisition their agency extending no
| further. A more discounted set of men than
the radicals yesterday could not be seen. The
| startling expose of the Times in regard to the
list Of disfranchised persons, added to the coup
| de etat of Gen. Hancock, deprived them OF thelI
| usual ability for cursing. All day long their
| harps hung on the willow.

"NO Man Living"

Gen. Grant lately wrote letter stating that
mo man living was authorized to speak for him
in political matters" This did not suit a radi-
cal who was determined to shave it out" any
how. So he applied to Medium for infor-
nation. After due preparation, it was nnnounc.

sent and would answer. The questions were
then proposed:

The editor of the New York, Independent,
Mr.. Tilton, writes thus from Philadelphia
f'The only hesitation of the southern delegates
to utterIng their solemn demand for the negroes

CARDINAL CULLEN AMI THE CHoLE-
RA.-Cardinal Cullen, writes the Diay
News, has issued q circular to his clergy
ON the subject of cholera and the bad
harvest weather, which his Eminence
well points out are not TO be attributed
to the British government, but to the
Christening hand of God. He thus ex-
horts his flock tin conclusion, rever-
end brethren, while extlorting yoar locks
to have recourse to heaven in the pre-
sent dangers, you will not forget to ad-
monish them to prevent the spread of
contagion by adopting the precautions
recommended or prescribed by medical
skill or the authorities Of the city.
Endeavour to induce the poor to cleanse
and whitewash their houses or their
rooms, to remove all nuisances far from
their dwellings, to be careful of their
diet, avoiding bad vegetables and unripe
fruit. Exhort them also TO abstain from
drunkenness, the fatal source of many of
the evils that afiict their country, and
the cause of the eternal ruin of immune
rable precious souls. 1t is admitted by
all that this degrading vice frequently
occasions cholera, increases its v%irulence,
and renders it's votaries unable to bear
the violence with which it assails a shat
tered constitution, so that o drunkard at
tackled by it is almost always doomed to
certain death whereas the sober and
temperate nan is generally safe from the
assaults Of this destructive malady, or
able to overcome it.'-PabRc Opinion.
