be seen by another extract from his
paper of the 18th, in the same article
alluded to above. He says:
'But what will you do about it? We
wrote IN 1864, when no man or power
dared to take us from La Crosse, our ideas
of the duties of the people toward a usurp-
er. and do not know that we have changed
our mind since. What we said of LINCOLN,
we say of any man, who, in land gov
erned by ballots, would be foisted into
power by bayon.ts and fraudulent votes,
as were cast in indianapolis in 1864.
''LfneoIa iGas elected by fraud aud bdyoliets.
His heart was not pierced, but his brain
was, by pistol ball, dred by an agent Of
GoD, and that agent still lives, although a
mangled corpse OF an unknown man was
used in Washington TO recover reward
offered for the body of Booth"
Among the other things to be treas
ured up against the Copperheads in
the last campaign, their endorse
ment of the sentiments Of this rebel
fiend, PoMERoY, will be most deeply re-
membered, and brought up in judg-
ment against them before the people,
if they ever again have the temerity
to fight another political campaign,
which we very much doubt. es4H

The Greensboro Fair.

1a OF the Daviess County (Ky) Fair,
which was held last week, the M9aito,'
says: 4ft diw emtt,f ee4d yr4g
W The fair itself was a grand success.
From five to six thousand people
were present, at least four days out of
FIVE. There was much horse stock
from other counties, and soma fine
cattle, and taking all together the
show was good. There were few
good sheep, but we saw. no hogs on
the ground. The first day had been a
show of quilts, jeans, linsies, and agri-
cultural products. f.sfs5 ..a.fr.. slft
The usual dissents were expressed
as to the decisions Of the judges.
These dissents are sometimes right
and sometimes not. 1t is difficult
thing to act a fair and competent part
in "a horse ring. AS in old times, it
did not happen to every one to go to
Oorinth, so in modern times it does
mot happen to be fine and reliable
judge of a horse. To be So requires
the compound qualities of a cultivated
mind, a lpracticed eye, aesound judg-
.ment, and familiarity with the horse
from ones youth. And yet in spite
of all these, man will at times doubt
his own Judgment, and the decision in
the ring is, sometimes made between
two horses more to avoid suspense
than4upon any certainty that the bet
ter horse has got the blue ribbon.
Good and fair Judges, no doubt, hest
tate sometimes as to their own deci-
ssions just as, much as the public
around them.a But as honest men
they have done their best, and that is
what they were put there for.

We have been furnished through
the mail with a copy Of that delecta-
BILE sheet, the Henderson Ne,os, which
we never see except by these special
courtesies. 1t was sent to us with
the expectation, we suppose, that we
would notice a long article, which
takes for its text few sentences from
the communieation of correspon-
dent Of the JoukNAL, published dur
ing the Henderson Fair. We would
not notice the pueriIities of the ex-
convict, except that our silence may
be taken as confession of some un-
warantable inferences as to the ladies
and citizens of Henderson. Ii is our
earnest desire, as it is the interest of
both cities, that the most amicable
relations and friendly feeling exist be-
tween their respective citizens, and we
have no disposition to publish any
thing to irritate or unnecessarily dis-
please. There was no disposition
manifested by us to disparage the
Fair, as frequent notices in advance
Of it's opening will testify. During
the Fair, our regularly employed re-
porter being absent from the city, we
requested a gentleman, not connected
in any. way with this Office and than
whom no more respectable citizen is
to be found in Evansville to write us
an account of what he saw. He
did so, and we published his com
municatinn. There ID not one word
in it that is denied or disproved by
the Me,os. If he told nothing but
the truth, it is merely question of
the propriety o writing and publish
ing it. For that we are responsible.
We are satisfied that no respectable
or candid citizen has given the matter
any thought, or found anything so
Objectionable as the paper would
have the public believe And so we
leave the matter. apologizing to- our
readers for troubling them with any
reply to the convict's story. We
may, however, have hereafter to ask
their indulgence toia little document
airy evidence of a character slightly
personal to the Ne'cs man.
The lengthy attacks upon Generals
A. p. HovEY and JAMES HUGHES,
and Mr., UNION BETHEL, of Warrick
County, it is unnecessary for us to
notice. The character of these gen
tlemen isitoo we'll known to the citi
zens and soldiers Of Indiana to need
defense against the ISLANDERS of such
reprobate.

PERsoNAL-Among the visitors
the past few days to the District Fair
has been Gen. JAMES G. VEATcH, of
Rockport. We regret to see the
General still suffering from physical
disabilities brought on by his severe
exposure in the camp and field during
the late war. He was one of our
most gallant officers and would make
most valuable public man in civil af-
fairs, ifhis health did not as yet disable
him from active duties. We hope to
see him soon in the enjoyment of his
former yigor.

POmerOy ON LincOln---IIls Last Ar
ticIe. i"t

Ua
1t will be remembered that the in
famous Brick PoMERoY, when in
the employ of the Democratic State
Central Committee, stumping, the
State of Indiana, published a card,
denying the authorship Of single
sentence attributed to him, and offered
reward of $1,000 for proof that it
was ever published in his paper. He
did not attempt to deny any Of the
other equally infamous sentiments
,attfibufed to- him. which we're pub
lished by the column. He only Sc
lected the Single one mentioned in his
card. We were satisfied, at the time,
that it was only technical advantage
he could take by which to avoid his
authorship. Since his return home,
in the La Crosse Democrat of the
10Th inst, he published the following,
and we give him the benefit of it; IN
While in Indiana, on the stump, doing
what we could for the cause of the, Uaic7l,
the Constitution. and the Ld,vs, thousands
of handbills were circulated over that
State by the Radicals, charging us with
saying, on the 9th of August, 1864:
"lf Lincoln is elected for another four
years we trust some bold hand will pierce
his heart with dagger point, for the pub
lie good"
The above item makes us the advocate +
assassination without any 'ifs" or "ands,"
and gives the paragraph we did not write
and publish, because we meant Ii a differ
ent meaning.
Here is what we did say on that day:
"The man who votes for Lincoln now is
traitor. He who tcdrs against The C0nSti-
tuition is traitor, and Lincoln has done all
The. He who calls and allures men to cer-
tain butchery is n murderer, and Lincoln
has done all this. Had any former Demo
cratic President todrred upon the Constitution
or trihed with the nation as Lincoln has,
ne would have been hurled to perdition
iohg since. And IL he Is FoRCIBLY re-
eiected to MIsGovERN for another four
years. zoe trust some bold hand ,0iH pierce his
hed't 'o'th dagger point for tlse public good -
Ills explanation will not relieve
him from any of the odium which
the sentiment as first published gave
him. He was particeps criniinis in
the Judgment of all loyal men, in the
assassination of President LINco1
having instigated the conception and
execution of the bloody deed. and
rejoiced over its accomplishment with
demoniac exultation His repulsiv,
and hellish character is too indellibl,
stamped upon the minds of the peo
pie of the North ever to be effaced b,
anything he may say, or by any apollo
gies the friends of rebel assassin
may make in his behalf. a5.gal

Contested Elections.


We learn from Capt. MILLER, Clerk
Of Gibson County, that the papers
have been filed in his Office by the
Republican candidates, or a portion
of them, in that couAty, upon which
to prosecute their claims TO legal
election. u.
We are also informed by Mr., JAKE
COVERT, Editor of the Washington
Gazette, that the Republican candi-
dates in Daviess County will contest
the election of tho Democratic Of
ieials, on the ground of fraudulent
votes, and the illegal manner in which
the election was conducted in the
Washington precinct. We are as
laired that there can be no doubt hut
that. more than enough illegal votes
can be found to change the result of
the election in that county, We
should be very glad to see our friend
EVANS represent the interests of Da-
viess County in the Legislature. The
Republican candidates for the County
Offices in both Gibson and Daviess are
very competent and clever gentlemen,
and we have no doubt a fair vote
would have secured their election
and we urge them to follow up the
contest to a successful conclusion, if
possible.

THE PHILADELPHIA TRAeEDY-Indictment
Of froost By the Grand Jury.-The Philadelphia
grand jury yesterday morning found true
bill against Antoine Probst for the murder of
the Deering family. Theprisoner was brought
into court and arragned at p. m, after much
legal delay. The prisoner having no counsel
the Court assigned him Messrs. John F.
ONeill and J. G. Wclbert. The prisoner at
first said he did not wish any counsel at all,
but subsequently withdrew his objection to
having counsel. After q conversation with
the prisoner, Mr.. O'Neill asked that the ar.
raignment be postponed until himself and his
colleague could be afforded an opportunity to
examine the bills Of indictment.
II Is understood that Prcbst expressed a will
lngness TO plead guilty to the Indictment
charging him with the murder Of Cornelius
Carey. The district attorney designs, how
ever, 10 try him upon a bill charging him with
the murder Of the Common wealth's officer in
the strength Of his case, without availing him
self Of the pretended confession of the muir
derer
From information received from persons
who belonged TO the same regiment and com.
pany as Probst, IL Is learned that he was a
bounty Jumper, who had entered the service
several times, and had received large bounties
They allege also that he shot his thumb delib-
erately, in order to gain his discharge. Among
his comrades his character was anything but
enyiable.
