Let Us Havo HARMONY.


We understand that prominent candi-
date for Congress in this county, with
view TO secure harmony, has made the
proposition that whoever Of the candi-
dates shall be found, at the District Con-
vention, to have the strongest support from
this County shall be unitedly presented to
the Convention as the candidate of the
county-all others to withdraw. This
proposition is so obviously fair and just
to all parties, and so essential to pres
ent and future harmony, that it should,
and we have no doubt will, receive the
prompt assent of all candidates and their
friends. Any one who, from selfish mo-
| tives, refuses TO unite in friendly effort
like this 10 preserve harmony and good
feeling in the Union ranks, deserves, and
will receive, the severest censure. No
one of the candidates named has such
superior qualifications for the place as
will justify him in grossly disregarding tue
interest of the party.
We therefore take it for granted that
all the candidates will at once assent to
the foregoing proposition, and that the
only contest we shall have in this county
will be friendly competition among the
friends Of the different candidates-to ter
inmate in a cordial union of all upon one
man. Let this man, whoever he may be,
be supported in good faith, and we shall
be in position to successfully press upon
the convention our local claims. All fair
men throughout the District admit the
force and validity Of these claims, provid-
ed we can unite upon any one man.
Let us see to it that we do so unite, and
then we may safely go into the conven-
ton, confident that our brethren in the
other counties of the District will not dis
regard our just rights.

Congress-.
ADMISSION OF TENNESSEE.

The State of Tennessee having adopt
ed the proposed amendments to the corr
stitution, as required by both Houses of
Congress, resolutions have passed both
houses in favor Of admitting that State TO
all of her former rights and privileges as
a State in the Union. In the House the
vote was 1875 to IL, and in the Senate 2e
to A. A few radical Union men voted
against it because il did not require i'm
partial suffrage on the part of Tennessee
but Mr.. Stevens voted for it. In thu
Senate the only Union men who votec
against it were Brown of Mo. and MI
Sumner. Tennessee is thus at last ono
more restored to the Union. The ad
mission of her Senators and representa-
tives does not particularly effect the pc
litical standing of either House, as tn
members elect are equally divided. A
hail Tennessee!

Gov. MORTON ON THE PHfLADEI-
PHIA CoNvENTIoN.-This is the way
Governor Morton of Indiana speaks of
the Philadelphia convention and its callers,
in a recent speech:
"This call is formal disarmament of
the democratic party, and remuneration of
the name democracy, and an invitation for
its members to meet in convention with
such dissatisfied persons of the Union
party as can be induced to unite with
them in forming new organization. 1t
is a direct confession that the demo-
cratic party, indellibly stained with treason
as it is, is a name too grievous to be
borne, and the cunning signers of this
call, who are staggering under its weight,
are striving to relieve themselves of the
dreadful burden. The proposition to
change its name is humiliating acknowl
edgement of defeat, of dishonor, and Of
national condemnation, which could have
been wrung from these men only by di.
rect suffering and necessity. And yet ii
will not avail. The new party, whatever
name or shape it may assume. will be the
same old copperhead concern. Composed
of the same men, clothed with the same
history, and plotting the same dishonor;
and disasters TO the country

A Hospital Incident.


One day, well-dressed, intelligent wo-
man called at the door of diet kitchen,
and asked to see one Of the " Christian
Commission" ladies. The surgeon had
sent her TO me to help her find her hus-
band, and the directions were, Z" Bed one

at her, and saw she was deadly pale, and

mistake, as she would not have been sent
from the Office to look for her husband if
he had been dead. While / had been
talking 10 her, the ward master had re-
ierred 10 his books, and told US her hus-
bands leg had been amputated few days
before, and he was then mos ed TO ward

former decisions and ordered new trial
before Justice. This gave rise to the
sixth trial, which came OFF before another
Justice, who non-suited the plaintiff She
again appealed, and the seventh trial took
place before the Supreme Coult, which
this time affirmed the non-suit; but the
lady again appealed to the highest Court,
and the eighth trial was had before the
Court Of Appeals in April last. This
Court reversed all former decisions, and
sent the case down to the Justice 10 be-

case is back where it started in the JUS

The philaaelphia Convention.

There is hitch in the Philadelphia
Convention. The alacrity with which
Ben and Fernando Wood and Vallandig-
ham, and others Of that ilk, have seized
upon it and mean to run the machine, is
not relished by some of the originators Of
that convention, and dispatch from Wash
ington, says that Thurlow Weed has been
sent for to devise means to exclude rebels
and copperheads from it. All right
Make the convention loyal and free from
all faint of the rebel element, and it will
have the cordial sympathy Of the people.

DEMOCRATIC ABusE OF GEN. GRANT
The La Crosse Democrat, one of the
leading democratic papers Of the North
West, says:
We shah expect to hear presently that
Grant has started negro harem, he ex-
hibits such partial fondness " for the col
ored folks" 1t has been said that negroes
cannot be raised to an equality with the
whites, but we do not think they would
have to be elevated much to be the equal

lower and disgrace himself of late, that The
result would be easily accomplished, if il

A WAR INCIDENT-The following
anecdote is now current in Florence -
"A ballet dancer at Venice, while dane
ing at the theater there, had boquet
thrown to her, tied to ribbon in the Ital-
ian colors. She Immediately kissed the
ribbon, which created tremendous enthu-
siasm among the audience. After the

she only had followed the universal GUS

her that at another time she should not

thrown, and the dancer, in compliance
with her instructions, trod it under foot.

of law in that State. In 1855 man

damages. The case was first tried before
Justice and the plaintiff non-suited.-

tired the case before another Justice and
got $1,000 damages. The railroad COM
pany appealed this time, and the fourth

AN IMPUDENT ENGLIsHMAN.-The
Hon. c. W. Willard, of Montpelier, ably
addressed large audience on the 18th
inst, at Waitsfeld, upon the subject of
" Government by the consent Of the Gov
erhed, as the Lesson of the day" Near
the close of the address an enlivening ep-
isolde was occasioned by the interruption
of the speaker by an English clergyman
who was present on the stand, and who
took offense at hearing England classed
as second-rate power. The clergyman
very soon, however, found that the audi
dience quite agreed with the speaker, and
that the Fourth of July was not an oppor-
tune time for an Englishman 10 interrupt
