Our Ticket.

The Union nominating Convention
for Gallia county was held last Sat-
urday. 1t was one of the largest
delegate conventions ever held in the
county, and was made up of good
and tried men. The utmost good
feeling prevailed, and the ticket pre-
sented to the voters of the county is
one, in an eminent degree, worthy Of
their confidence.
For Auditor we have Capt. JOHN
H. EVANS, of Centerville, young
man ofsuperior qualifications, with a
record. both in the army and in civil
lite, worthy of respect and imitation
Judge LoGUE is re-nominated for
Probate Judge. He has served the
people so faithfully during two terms,
that there were found none to COM
plain of him, and hence he was nom-
mated by acclamation.
For Recorder, the present efficient
incumbent, Capt. C. w. CHERINGroN,
wasnominated. Having been a good
officer for one term, he viii be found
for .he second term equally attentive
and prompt in the discharge of the
duties of the office.
For Commissioner-nw ced.
RUrus BEMAS, of Perry township,
is the nominee for Infirmary Direc-
tor. He is careful, prudent man in
all his business transactions, and will
make an efficient officer.
Such is the ticket. Now, let us all
turn in and do our utmost, not sim
ply to elect it, for that is beyond per-
adventure, but to give it larger ma
jority than any of former years.

@ 1t has been known for some
time, in intelligent circles in Wash
ington, that the dispatches of Gen.
SHERIDAN, in regard to the New
Orleans riots, had been suppressed,
owing to the damaging effect they
would have upon "my policy" The
sympathies of the President were
with the rioters, while Gen. SHERr-
DAN failed not to speak of them as
they deserved. But they have at
last been smoked out To show the
character of the riot, and the brutali-
ity of those engaged in it, we give
the dispatch of Gen. SHERIDAN rela-
ting thereto, to-wit:
NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 8.
u S. Grant;
GENERAL: The more informatio n
/ obtain OF the affair of the S0th, in
this city, the more revolving it be-
comes. 1t was no riot. 1t was an
absolute massacre by the police,
which was not excelled in murder
Gus cruelty by that of Fort Pillow
1t was murder which the Mayor
and police of the city perpetrated,
without the shadow of a necessity
Furthermore, 1 believe it was pre-
meditated and every indication points
to this.
l recommend the removing of this
bad man. 1 believe it would be
hailed with the sincerest qualification
by two thirds of the population of
the city. There has been a feeling
of insecurity on the part of the
people Lere on account of this man,
which is now so much increased that
the safety of life and property does
not rest with the civil authority. but
the military.
P. H. SHERIDAN.
Major General Commanding.
