UNIONISM
Courteous Conduct on the part O.
Speakers.

The joint discussion between the
opposing candidates for Congress in
the Second Congressional District
came off yesterday at Henderson, and
we present our readers this morning
with as lengthy an abstract of the
speeches as our space will allow. The
audIence was not as large as we an
tlclpated, but attentive and pa
tient. The discussion was con-
Quoted in the most courteous
manner by all the speakers, and
no unpleasant personalities of any
kind were INDUCED in. This was
creditable to the speakers, and COM
~plimentary to the audience. The dis
cussion lasted over three hours. and
was well sustained, each speaker
apologizing for his inability to touch
upon all the points of interest in the
time allotted. All of the speeches
were able, and gave satisfaction to the
partisans of the various speakers, or
appeared to do so.
Mr.. RITTER, the candidate of the
Union Conservative Democracy,
spoke first, JOHN YOU'VE Brown
followed, and Captain SMITH closed
the discussion.
MIR: Ritter opened his speech byex-
pressing his regret that his time
would not permit him to enter into a
full and particular account of his
Congressional career. He had hoped
at this time to be able to say to his
constituents that peace and harmony
prevailed throughout the country
but such was not the case. The feel
ing throughout the South is as bitter
to-day as at any period of the war.
and it is impossible for the country
ever to berestored. unless the people
lay aside all prejudice and come out
on the side of the Conservative Dem

MoUR, of New York. The. editor of
the Evansville Courier thinks the
nomination of his brother, PoMERoy,
a good one, and he is willing to accept
him, if Ton. HENDRICKS, of Shelby
vile, don't want to make the, race.
He thinks Tom, with our good-na-
tured neighbor, LAZARUS POWELL, OF
Henderson, would be lust the tick

our contemporary, the Border Rattqq,
are the best, because they are repre-

ter in the party; and the Lacrosse
Democrat ought at one to accept
the amendment" Of course the
Courier will fall into line, and give
them as hearty a support as it does
JOHN YOUNG Brown, who is no
greater Rebel, certainly. II
There appears, however. to- be a
serious movement on foot among the
small fry Indiana politicians to bring
HENDRICKS into notice. An Indian
apolis correspondent in the Chicago
Times proposes his name. and says he
is of all men in the country the COM
ing man for the next President; and
asserts hat such is the gene raj belief
or +bo namoorofS 90 TpJiano The
Chicago Trtbnnethinks this attempt to
push HENDRICKS to the foreground is
unkind in the Times when there are
so many martyrs waiting to be crowned.
Indiana has her MILLIGAN and her
BowLEs and her DoDD. Ohio has
her VALLANDIGHAM, than whom there
is not a more " conscious statesmen"
in the land. Iowa has her CLAY
DEAN, and Illinois her JOSH. ALLEN,
and there is hardly a village in the
Northwest which has not a vet
prepared to show scars
obtained in the cause of the
rebels. Are these men to be showed
aside to make room for m whose
strongest commentator is that he
never did anything on either side
the war? Shall HENDRICKS,
who basely held Office and drew pay
as a Senator while the torn fragments
of the Constitution we're in the GUS
tody of VALLANDIGHAM in exile upon
a foreign stand, be now preferred to
MILLIGAN, who actually levied wal to
destroy the Lincoln usurpat ion?"
Has it come to this. that the Democ-
racy are afraid of offending the negro
voters of the South, by nominating a
of the white mans party
and must therefore fall back upon
HENDRICKS, who actually voted money
to prosecute the war, and to arm

IELEGRAPHISG ACROSS II ALLAN
TIc.--Cyrus W. Field said at a banquet
which was given him in New York Thurs
day evening last, that the old cable which
was recovered 80 wonderfully fen months
ago, worked better than the new one. but
hat the latter one was improving every
day. The electricians had made some
surprising discoveries in regard 10 sub
marine tclceraphing.
When the electricians originally con-
suited in relation to the power necessary
to scnd a message across the ocean, they
thought the battery should have the
force Of a fash Of lightning. But it was
also thought that such u high charge
would burn cut the wires. Smaller and
smaller electric charges had been used
until il was found that the subtle fluid
acted perfect when the power was very
delicate.

The Times Washington special says that
in conversation to-day in
relation to his approval OF the Presidents
veto of the District Suffrage Bill, sud he
was present by invitation, and took 10 part
in the debate. When all were through
the President asked bis views on the sub
ject. Hc replied briefly that the bill was
unconstitutional because it disfranchised
rebels without trial was, in his opinion,
the best part Of the bill. With reference
to comforting suffrage on the colored peo-
ple Of the District, he always thought it
INCONSISTENT on the part Of the Radicals,
to force this right while they refused to
grant it to the same class in their own
States. The arguments and principles

DestitufiOn OF the south,

We give place to-day to a communica-
ton on this subject, and would say that
We heartily endorse its sentiments. There
is no doubt that many in the South are
actually suffering for want of the bare
n~ecessaries Of life. An influential New
York paper before us says;
"While the gTanaries Of the West are bursting
with food, and the people Of all the Northern
States are enjoying Wonted prosperity, the cry of
starvation begins to rise in the South. 1t is not
alone the cotton crop that has failed but the stock
of cereals falls far below tho promise Of three
months ago. The prospects in the cotton States
are as gloomy az the biterest enemy Of the South
could desire. The cotton crop, as We predicted elk
months ago, will barely reach a million and a half
bales, and q considerable part Of il is said to be
mortgaged to Northern capitalists, who advanced
money TO the planters in tho spring. Virginia.
Northf Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. have
raised fair crops Of cereals, but not more than
enough for their own population. The other States
have raised but lite food and unless the population
get assistance from some quarter, they must suffer
the nost painful priyations until next seasons
crop is matured. In former times the South had a
wealthy class to assist its poor in time of need, but
there is no resident wealthy class there now. The
entire mass of the Southern people have been re-
duced to a condition of absolute necessity. 1t is
as much as any planter can do to provide support
for those depending on him, and some will be
pushed hard to do even this. A widespread appre-
hension of actual famine prevails in some of the
cotton States, and neither the State authorities nor
the better class Of planters arc able 70 provide
much alienation for the suffering"
Any person wishing to contribute in
aid of the suffering and destitute in the
South, can-in accordance with the plan
marked out by the writer of the commu.
nication above referred to-place the same
in our hands. It will be promptly ac-
knowledged in the Democrat, and duly
forwarded to Rev. o. P. Fitzgerald, San
Francisco, to be by him forwarded to the
sufferers of the South,
The writer of the communicated
Rey, +. B. Stateler, of Linn county
has placed SIS in our hands for this pur-
pose. We will cheerfully Insert the
names Of any others who will help to
augment the fund for the sufferers of the
South. Linn county is able to do some
thing handsome in this direction.
