Democratic Convention at Princeton.
PRINCETON, July II.

Editors Journal:
The unterrifed held their County
Convention to-day. At an early hour
in the day, it was made apparent that
they were alive, and each hour
brought crowds of them eager to see
how they would "ratify their Pres
idential nominations. There was con-
siderable ratifying done during
the day. to the delight of the gro
ceries. There was quite lively con-
test over the nominations, especially
for Treasurer. But finally, after
much pulling and hauling. their work
was accomplished. The nominations
are as follows: Representative, VIM,
Aydelotte, Esq; Treasurer, James
Montgomery; Sheriff, JAS. NJ. Rags
dale. After the nominations were
made, the crowd was treated to the
usual rehash, from Messrs Cobb and
Sproule. Mr.. Cobb eulogized Sey-
mour very highly, but had not many
good words for Blair. The Democ-
racy are not at all satisfied with the
ticket, but, of course, will :" go it if it
kills them" The convention closed
with grand ratification row and a
half dozen fights. Put down old Glib
son for Grant and the Republican
ticket this Fall. %x

party of men who were hunting the

Adams Express Car on the Ohio q
Mississippi Railroad on Friday, chased
the gang into thicket near Rock
ford. Indiana, and succeeded in cap
turing one man named Charles Rose
berry. He was brought to this city
last night, and confined in Jail. The
others escaped, but as there is large
number of citizens and officers in
pursuit, they will probably be taken.
1t is reported that three of the
gang, Moore, Jewell and Sparks, were
severely wounded in the fight on Fri
day night. The citizens of Seymour
met last night and formed vigilance

THE s.. ,sENATORsHIP.
Tho Claims OF Judge PolEIey.
Erotn The Point PiedSunt Reqtster.


As we said last week, one of the first
duties of the next Legislature will be
the election of a United States Senator
TO take the place OF our present worthy
Senator, Hon. p. G. Van Wrinkle, whose
term OF service expires with the 40th
Congress. We are satisfied that Mr..
Van Wrinkle will not be candidate for
re election. 81
We gave our reasons in our last issue,
why this District was alone entitled to
the new Senator, and stated also that
we would propose the name OF gentle
man in connection with that position, in
some other issue, which we will do in
this article:
State are deeply interested, and our
Legislature should beyond doubt look
we'll into the matter and confer the high
honor upon the man who Is fully COM
petent to fill the position, and who has
never faltered during the terrible ordeal
through which our State and nation
have Just passed. We must havea man
who has been, and is now as firm as n
| rock. We have several men In the
State and in this district, who would
| do honor to the position, aud no doubt
many of them will be prominent candi-
dates before the Legislature this winter
for the Senatorship. We have looked
/ CHreIullY lnLO Lne vi bho SONSLaA
gentlemen who have been named for
this position, and while we do not
intend 10 say a word against them, we
have our choice, and therefore urge the
election OF Hon. Daniel POlsley, oil
Mason county.
Judge Polsley is not a politician. He
did not seek the position which he now
so ably fills, but accepted 1t from the
hands OF the Union men, as duty he
owed his country; and during the two
years in which he has represented this
District in Congress, he has proved
himself n statesman and n patriot, and
has under all circumstances, stood firm
for tho right.
Taking into consideration the Claims
OF the third district over any other por
ton OF the State, for the Senatorship
We feel no hesitation in saying that vi
believe that Judge polsley will be thu
next United States Senator from Yves
Virginia.
