About dozen Of Black Republicans
met in the Court House, on Thursday
last, and went through the farce OF
nominating county ticket The
Convention was the slimest affair
that ever came of in this county.
But few of the loyal veterans were
present. The Kinks, Spencers, Bru.
bakers and Adamses, who heretofore
composed nearly one fourth of the
annual convocation, were non est, as
well as number of celebrated one
horse families, who never before failed
to grace and impart to similar gath
erings their wisdom and patriotism.
The following ticket was finally
settled upon; Assembly-James NJ.
Welch; Sheriff-S. B. Lingle; Treas
urcr-Arthur Bell; Commissioner
David Dressler; District Attorney
]. II. Fulfordj Jury Commissioner
James Glenn; Auditor--Jas. Irwin
Coroner-William r. Brown.
Four-Messrs. Welch, Lingle, Glen
and Brown-are Of the "boys in
blue J" the other four are home loyal
veterans, of the strictest sect, and
have been before the people on several
occasions, in civil capacities.
Although our loyal friends have
several bureaus in this county full OF
victuals, the "boys in blue" cannot
get into them, but arc handsomely
rewarded with empty honors.
In this and Centre county the 10y
alists humbug the soldiers egregious-
ly, by nominating them for positions
to which they cannot be elected; but
in the neighboring counties of Indiana
and Blair, where they have large
majorities, aad can elect their nomi-
nees, they seldom nominate a "boy in
blue" Such consummatc humbug-
gerry should be seen with half an eye

Rogers signed a petition in favor of
Conover's pardon, is he thereby Grim
mated any more than Holt by doing
the same thingY What Pryor or
Dick Taylor did to procure the release
of jeff. Davis, no one knows or cares
but that they offered money to men
to swear against Holt never will be
believed, for they had none to offer
and the additional aspersion that the
parties to whom il was offered refused,
it condemns the whole story as false
and preposterous. That the Bureau
of Military Justice can procure any
desirable testimony from Judge Hollis
witnesses is not doubted especially
when manipulated by New York Rad
ieal experts; but the degree of conf.
denee placed in such testimony, man
uiactured to meet an emergency, will
not materially sway public Judgment.

White slavery, we presume, in a
"loyap sense, is no crime; whilo

is about s26,7s2-equal to a voting
force of l65, ,5S5. (The poll for Prcsi-
dent, in 1860, was l45,333.) The

fully seven-tenths of the the legal

but nrce-tenths (49,6OO) the right of

2SS, ,OOO-giving voting force Of
about $4,000 Nearly all of these
Brownlow and his faction received,
which, added to about $4,000 of the
white voters, gave a total of $4,000
votes cast for him. The remaining
white vote, about 10000, was cast for
Mr.. Etheridge--leaving Brownlow a
majority of about $4,000, This may
be more plainly stated thus:
Brownlows white vote..............,..l3.OOO
Browniows negro votc.................56,6O
Etheridges white $4,000
Brownlows majority. $4,000
Had the whole legal white vote
been polled, the case would have
