Democratic. County Convention
Being little in advance of publica.

honestly and faithfully and acceptably to
the people of Monroe County.
THOMAS MURPHY, Esq, Commission

How nIississIppi is to be Carried.

Arkansas voted down the carpet-bag
constitution by ten thousand majority,
but the military doctored the returns un.
til they fguered out a majority. The
first State to vote was Alabama, and here,
despite Radical frauds, the constitution
failed to gee votes enough by ten OF
twelve thousand. This was SO embar.
RAISING to the conspirators here that or
ders at once were sent down not to suffer
this to occur again. In pursuance OF
this, Arkansas was made all right. So
was North Carolina. In Georgia thirty
thousand negroes voted the Conservative
ticket, and the constitution was defeated.
The Military announced The constitution
ratified, and counted out Gordon, Conser.
vative. sai2
In Mississippi The whites, despite the
frauds in registration, made great efforts
to secure the negro vote, and carry the
State. They have rallied the white vote
as unit, and have secured probably half
the negro vote. For days the telegraph
has borne US news of county after coun-
ty going Conservative, the negro coun-
ties as we'll as the rest, and a majority
approaching twenty five thousand. We
supposed that the majority was SO over
whelmi1g that no attempt would be made
to overcome it by fraud; but it is evi
dent from the following dispatches pass
ing between Grant and his satraps that
counting and manipulation of the ballots
Is again to be resorted to-. Indeed, it is
apparent that Grant, to secure his elec-
tion, is ready for any fraud, and is stim.
ulating the grossest cruelties on the
Southern whites, who do not accord with
his policy. There can be no doubt that
the almost incredible infamy of the re-
cent Georgia atrocities belong as much
to him as to General Meade.
The following is the despatch alluded
TO-. Attentively considered, the peopleImay
get some clue to the agencies by which
Northern freemen are to be deprived Of
their choice Of President:
The Mississippi Election.
General Grant has received despatch
from General Mcdowell, stating that
there sare certain indications that the
constitution will be carried, and that the
Republican State ticket would be elected
in Mississippi. 50
General Mcdowell, on the goth inst,
|promulgated,an order providing for the
continuancesnf the election in Mississippi

other place where revision of the regis

The Wool Market.

lFrom the Ohio Farmer, June "a
Our adyices from the Eastern cities, Of
this date, show a continued low move
ment of old wool, which bids fair 70 clean
out the market to a. considerable extent.
Prices remain the same, ranging from 40
to IS cents for the most part, with some
sales of very nice Pennsylvania at 81 II
x and Xxx Ohio runs from 48 to 81, which
is about equal to AZ to 46 on the home
value, after paying expenses of transpor-
tation and marketing.
From the Farmers Chronicle, 9th ult.
The wool trade in Columbus is liven-
ing up. Receipts during the week have
been quite heavy. Prices range from 80
| to 40c. We learn that the greater part
of the wool in Licking County has been
sold at 4Oc.
In Cincinnati the arrivals of new clip
during the week were quite large. There
is fair inquiry, but outside prices are
obtained only for the best lots. The
stock continues to accumulate.

Of wool in New York, the Shipping
List reports:
| The market has ruled rather quiet, with
a tendency to lower prices for Domestic
Fleece, in consequence Of the low rates
for new clip in the country, and continued
depression in the manufactured article -
Manufacturers are by no means anxious
Ito anticipate their wants, preferriDg to
bide their time and await the coming of
new Wool, Which will soon be coming
[along in large quantities. Thus far, only
small lots have been received, but we
learn from private letters that the prices
in Ohio are 40@45c, in Illinois and Iowa
E33@371c, and in this State 35@40c, with
a marked absence Of the usual competi-
|tion at this season among buyers. There

tremes, including 5000 lbs double extra

Judge Chase's Position as Stated
by Himself.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer ]
New YORK, July 1, 1868.
The following is an extract from the
letter of Chief Justice Chase to friend
in this city, to which allusion has been
made in my dispatches heretofore:
"While l would be grati6ed to receive
the nomination, [ do not desire to have
my name used without positive assu-
rance Of success. I desire to put on re.
cord, in advance of the meeting of the
Convention, that | will support the NOM
inee." MACK.
PendIetOn Stock still Rising--
ShOddy Democrats, and Their
Radical Allies Circulating False
hoods Against Him.
Pendleton stock is better than ever
this evening. All sorts of falsehoods
are in circulation about Pendle tons war
record. They originate with the Radi-
Gals, who are anxious to defeat Pendleton
because they know that he and green
back platform will get more votes than
any other candidate and platform that
can be put out:
Men are circulating the report to o-night
that he voted against every appropriation
bill for the suppression Of the rebellion.
Also, that he voted against furnishing
either supplies OF soldiers. If his re-
cord we're fairly presented he would be
nominated without much opposition.

Grant, Jackson and clay.


tits certainly not very respectful to
the memory of jackson and Clay to as
sociate their names and memories with
the name Of Grant, but, by way Of con-
trast, the apparent disrespect will, no
doubt, be excused. In his letter ac-
cepting the Radical nomination for Pres
ident, Grant says:
II shall have no policy Of my own to
interiors against the people.
U. IS. GRANT"
Now, if you want to see the great
difference between this man. and the i'm
mortal jackson, who was statesman as
we'll as asoldier, read:
u say again, fellow citizens, remember
the fate of ancient Rome, and cote for no
candidate who will not tell you with the
frankness of an independent freeman the
principles upon which, if elected, he will
administer your government.
"That man deserves to be- a slave wko
would vote for a mum candidate when
his liberties are at stake.
. "ANpREw JACKSON"
Henry Clay was not like Jackson, q
warrior, but he was, like jackson, a great
statesman. Do you suppose Henry Clay
would vote for Grant, If he were alive
today IF SO, updeceive yourself by
reading the following:
aIf my suffrage is asked for the high
est civil Office of my country, the candi
date, however illustrious and successful
he may be, must present some other title
than laurels, however gloriously gather
ed on the blood stained e-tteld.

Another Radical Measure.

A new Bureau bill is said to be nec-
essary by the Radicals, in order that an
additional fund ana second set of Of
ficials may be created to control the me-
gro vote. Of course, with the Presi-
Dental election near at hand, such a
measure is sure to meet with favor in
this Congress. Thus it is that the wes-
tern taxpayers are required to contri-
bu.e for the purpose of buying negro
votes for Grant Wheeling Register.

An Awkward Trap sprung.

In the House on the 29th ult., Mr..
Cobb, of Wisconsin, offered a resolution
instructing the Committee on Ways and
Means to report a bill requiring the Sec
retary of the Treasury to levy tax of
ten per cent. on the interest of Govern
ment bonds. The greatest excitement
prevailed; but it soon became evident that
the Radicals apprehended danger, but
could not see how to avoid it. The res
luton was offered without consultation.
The Democratic side joined hands with
the Republican minority, and the result
was the resolution was passed. Mr.. But
ler was active for the resolution. The
Radicals call it another evidence OF But
ler's purpose to break down their party.
