= Indnlging the Hone. - .

Our advices from Washington are
10 the effect that it is understood in
political circles at the National Cap
itol that Senator HENDRICKS, whose
term will expire with the present Con
gress, will make the race for Governor,
and that our goodlooking Representa-
tive from the First District, Hon. Will
LIAM E.NIBLAcK, is to take the second
place on the State ticket. HENDRICKS
friends, overestimating very greatly
his popularity, claim that he will
carry the State and, with his election.
the Legislature, which will secure his
return to the United States Senate.
This programme successfully carried OW
will make our amiable Congressman
the next Governor. We are aware
that Judge NIBLAcK's organ, the
Vincennes San, has announced that
he is not candidate for the position
on the ticket named, but we judge
that, like all good Democrats, he will
consent to be sacrificed for the sake
of the party and the people, and
when the time comes, if the move
ment meets with favor, he, like Bar
kis, will be "willin' !" Indeed, the
Spencer County Democracy, we notice,
are locking forward to that consum
nation. In their Convention last
week they endorsed 1.-THE acts Of
their present fRepresenfatixe Ssin
Congress, Hon. w. E NIBLACK, in-
du}ging the hope that greater and
hi9he 7ton0Is get are reserU9d Jor him
IN future" ;" 1t may be that our efful-
gent friend, Judge LAIRD, is i ii,indulg-
ing the hope more qstrongly tina .
the mass Of the Spencer County De-
mocracy ;ebut we. doubt noo the same
expectation is fondlyA cherished by a
few distinguished Democrats both at
Eva6sviife and Yineennes oWe an :.
tcipate that the delegations from.
Spencer, Yanderburgh. and Knox
Countless ii tie EiEhth "a aahmuary q
Convention, under the influence and
at the instigatioIn. of the gentlemen
who are indulging the hope, will
be very qlamornns for thelnomination
Of NIBLAcK for Lieutenant Governor,
in order that he may receive " greater
and higher honors, = and-make room
for some other aspirant for his com
/ fertably, y,cushioned seat in the Ma
-tional IGapitol But really wesmust
entergour protest against such am
arrangement. Judge N1BLAcK has
so faithfully and with such regularity
drawn his pay, after having voted it
double, and is now so snugly situated
at Washington, that it is no part Of
genuine friendship to ask him to re-
llnquish his position for the hopeless
race for the Governorship of Indiana

Colfax and the Vice Presidency.

NVAAAA eEA0 NAN WV
The name Of Hon .SeHBYLER Coz
FAX is very prominently brought for
ward in different parts of the country
as a candidate for Vice President
The movement originated in New
York and the Eastern States, where
he has much personal popularity. A
number of New York State papers
have announced themselves id his
favor, Notwithstanding the fact that
Governor FENToN is understood to
be a candidate before the Chicago
Convention; and they are supported
by strong influence. in the Congress-
ionaI delegation from that State 1t
is understood that at least three Of
the New England States viii send
CoLFAx delegates, and the indications
now are that he win come before the
Convention with a very decided East
ern support.
In view Of the apparent fact of the
nomination Of General GRANT for the
Presidency, Indiana was not expect
ing to present any Of her own public
men for the second place on the
ticket. But if Mr.. CoLFAx shall ap-
pear to be the choice of the States
east of the Alleghenies, whence
we have supposed the candidate would
be selected, he will doubtless be
unanimously supported BY his own
State delegation. The Chicago Ts-
61sne published an editorial last week
upon the subject, which the Chicago
Journal says expresses the opinion
Of large portion Of the Republicans
Of the West" We copy the material
portions of it,
THE Western press has kept silent
on the subject, chiefly for the reason
| that if General Grant, being a West
erpf man, shall be placed first on the
T ticket, the Eastern States might Justly
claim the second place. But at the
same time, if the shrieks Of locality
were not heard, and nothing was
taken into consideration except non
ularIty and ftness-in other words
if the Convention were governed bv
the object of making the strongest and
best ticket, there is little doubt that
Colfax would receive the nomination
for Vice President. The masses of
the party, aside from all considera-
tons of locality, would prefer him 10
any man vet named in connection
with the Office" err
The case stands thus: Grant
is native Of Ohio, Colfax is native

This is the first of series of juVen-

teacher in one of the Girls Grammar

are said to have greater circulation
than any other juvenile story books

expressing the idea of children in the

THE London Timcs II the 18th ult says:
"The unhappy otents In Jamaca in October,
1865, have, at least, had this good oiiect--that
tho home government, we'll us tho people Of
the Island, have felt bound to do something 70
rescue tho colony from tho social aud CONNER
cial ruin into which It was falling. Without
entering again into the controversy which
those events originated, Il may bo said that
they brought moro clearly before the world the
deterioration Of tho island society, the decay
Of agriculture and trade, tho unfriendly rola-
tions Of whites and blacks, tho Legislative
Encouragement, the financial recklossnoss,
and the general impovcrishment Of all classes.
We may DO reconcllsd to what
seems constitutional retrogrcssion by consid-
cring tho social state of this, tho Queen Of tho
British West Indies. A noble island Of moro
than 6ooo square miles, possessing the most
fertile land, fine barbors, and billy region Of
almost temperate climate amid tho heats Of
the tropics, has been reduced by tho faults or
tho misfortuncs Of tho inhabitants until its
namc has become hyword for failure and de-
cay. Tho estates from which In oldcn times
came incomes which placed their posscssors
almost on Lowell with the British peerase, are
now nearly worthless, and have in many cases
been abandoned. The soil Is covered with
woods and brushwood or the negroes have
taken possession Of II, built their Luts and
planted their provision grounds. The whito
population has steadily diminished, and now
| consists, II is said, of not more than $4,000
M of
sons OF wealth and station, or largo owners OF
the soil. Those who can absent thcmsely O.
spend their much diminished incomes In Eng.
land, leaving their estates to attorneys and
managers, who have mono Of the social infiu-
once which belongs to the owners Of the soil.
In the meantime the negro race has increased
until II is said to number moro than 4OO, 900,
and from the small proportion of white people
1t has had less advantages than in other re-
gions. The negro is an imitator, and il he seer
before him a fair model in q prosperous and
well-conductcd white population he will work
up to 1t, but If left TO himself his progress will
be slow indeed. Every one agreed two years
that tho state Of tho colony had become intol-
cradle. Tho Governor has found 1t necessary
to impose an extra house tax, and it Is to this
they especially object The fact is, the island
is on the verge Of bankruptcy, and can only be
saved by lossening the current expenses, and
raising for time the amount Of revenue draw n
from the people. To spend less and to pay
moro taxos nro the principles on which the
budget Of the island must be framed. 1t is q
sad necessity, for tho people who must pay are
fowcr aud poorer than they ever were.

CHATTANOOGA, September 90

- OHNTTANuOGA, September 20.
The Crutchfeld House was totally de-
stroyed by fire at 6 o'clock this evening"
The fire was caused by the breaking Of .
number Of kerosene lamps in the oil-room,
which waiter was handling. The flames
caught the oil In the barrels, flashed up.
and spread all over the house In ten min.
ntes. Little property was saved, except in
the lower stories. The FIRE originated in .
wooden addition, and ascendsd, catching
the upper story Of the brick part. There
was no water near, and no engine in the
town. The water applied was brought
through n hundred yards Of hose from, the
hre engine of the machine shops of the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, but
too late TO check the fire. Other houses
near were damaged, though not seriously.

SATURDAY, July l3th.--LrvxRpooL.-- We
were compelled to leave tho ship last night
without regard to the lateness Of tho hour,

and thirteen hours from Boston to Liverpoo,.)

majority of tho employees of the ship have

TO DO at hone as soon as possible. Tho GUS
tom.hcuso officers gave us the least possible treu
bio; tobacco and books wore tho articles most
sought for. One has only just to 60 through
q form Of declaration, and unlock his trunk,
then---the price of q bottle of porter makes
everything satisfactory. Upon landing, I
drove, with q small party Of ladies and gentle
mon, to the Boo Hotol," whore they were TO
stop. Leaving them, I went on TO tho a WASH
ington," but finding no accommodation, re-
turned to the Isce," which was also swarmins
with company. Some ladies were obliged to lie
on sofas. Two or three gentlemen and myself
were conducted by the host Of tho Bcc to tho
sky-parlor Of neighborins house; and, be-
Ing too tired to return, gruspblcd ourselves TO
