REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR CON
GUUEG

...--, GAES4.
The Ninth District Convention at
Clyde, on the S0th ult, nominated Gen.
NYM II. GDsoN, of Seneca county, as
the Republican candidate for Congress.
Our first choice for that position was
our present Representative, Gen. R.
L. BUokLAED, and we labored steadily
aud confidently for his denomination,
believing that his experience in legisla-
i've matters, his perfect reliability, his
efficiency, his influence at Washington,
his splendid army record, and his sturdy
substantial. qualities generally would
again have ensured Republican tri-
umph in the District. But Gen. GIB-
son was the choice Of amaiority of the
delegates in the Convention, and TO
their decision we yield assent and
will support him heartily, honestly,
and increasingly until election. The
friends of Gen. BUcKLAND are not will
ing that the success of Republican prin-
cipIes shall be jeopardized by any
iukewarmness or inaction on their part.
Waving all personal preferences and
putting aside all preiudices, they will
make as gallant a fight for Gen. VIZ.
H. GIBSON as they would had the choice
Of The Convention fallen upon another
man.
Few men in the country equal Gen.
GiBsON as an orator. To the gift of
speaking, with which nature has so
generously endowed him, is added the
culture that comes from the closest
study of books and men. These, with
well grounded principles and earnest
ness of purpose, render him not only
eloquent but ferYid and convincing.
Personally, his popularity is something
wonderful His acquaintance embraces
almost every man, woman and child in
the District and his individual work in
the campaign, we may well believe,
viii be superhuman.
We hoist his Lame at the head of
our columns, and from now till election
will work intellectually for GRANT,
CoLEAx, GIBSON and VICTORY.

DEmOORATIC CANDIDATE FOR CON.
CSRESS

The Democratic Convention 70 nomi-
candidate for Congress meets a
Monroeville to-day. The nominee, prob
ably, will be Mr.. Noble of TAin. He
has secured the Seneca, Sandusky and
Erie county delegations as a unit, which
provOkes the indignation of the jackson
men. They complain that Noble has
resorted to all kinds of mean tricks to
secure these delegations. But alPs
fair in politics, as well as in love and
war. Mr.. Noble is a gentleman of fine
ability and personally popular wherever
known, but a Blair-Democrat ont and
out in favor of the new rebel revolu-
tionary conspiracy to over-turn the
reconstructed State governments Of
the South by force, if necessary, and
put the Union men and negroes again
under the heels of the old slave-driving
olgarchy.

so FAR.

Seymour and Blair have no strength
before the people. 1t is now over month
since they were nominated, and every
DAY has subtracted from their prospect
Of election. Seymour, as the represen-
tative man of the "bloated bondhold-
ers," does not please the Pendleton re-
pudiationists; and Blair, as the advocate
of a renewal of the rebellion, alarms
the moderate Democrats of the North.
The more the claims of these candidates
are examined the less they are liked.
THERE'S not sparticle offrieudship felt for
them outside Of the secession element.
All the Seymour and Blair ratification
meetings are the product of party dis
cipline and fealty; all the enthusiasm
manifested is simulated, None of it is
genuine or honest, 1t is'a common re-
mark among Democrats that ''if they
could exchange tickets with the Re-
publicaus, they would whip the latter
out Of their boots J" but with Seymour
and Blair against Grant and Colfax it is
uphill work.

A general agricultural report Of Il

A general agricultural report Of the
condition of the harvest on the continent
of Europe, says that the harvest in the
south of France is terminated, and the
fears which had generally prevailed
have been dissipated. The result is
better than expected. The crop, which,
in certain localities of the Var, was sup
posed TO be in great jeopardy, will be
abundant AT Anglers reaping is going
on. Everywhere farmers seem to be
well satisfied. The yield will be large,
although the quality leaves something
to be desired. At Montibery the rust
is also in the corn, but the crop will be
good. Letters from Normandy give
greatest hopes, and at several points
the produce will be above an average.
Similar accounts have been receiver from
the east of France. In Hungary the
harvest is advancing rapidly, great
plenty being united to excellent quality.
That country has still in its granaries
the wheat of last year crops, and prices
are consequently falling. Throughout
Germany, also there is great abundance
of grain. In BELGIUM the wheat is
almost ready, everywhere, for cutting.
The crop is fine in every respect

CURE For HYDRoPHoBIA.-As the pop
ular rage about mad dogs, which is
running high in some of the interior
cities, may by chance reach this place,
in lack of some more excitable popular
subject we republish the following
receipt for the cure of the bite of the
rsbid dogs, a disease which those ami
mails are liable to in every season of the
year: ''The bite must as soon as pos
sible be bathed with warm vinegar and
water, and when this has dried, few

the wound will destroy the poison Of

all future danger.-Blqde.

from LHS @NOINElk IAt1AcELNL-l
Mr.. Gibson was not our first choice; never
theless, we shall give him oUr heSrty sup
port, and do our best for his success, believ-
ing as we do that no man in the District
would or could represent It more faithfully
and efficiently than he. When the rebellion
broke out he not only marched to his cOun.-
try's defence on the field Of battle, but he
gave his time and by his electrifyiug and
soul-stirring eloquepce-in which he has
few if any equals in Ohio-he induced others
to do likewise. His soldiers love hin. He
is emphaticcally a man of the people. i
like other mortals, he may have erred and
done wrong, his earnest, feryid, true-hearted
patriotism in the hour of his country's peril,
will endear him to the hearts of all Republi-
cans. As a stumper, Mr.. Gibson has nc
superior in this State, and we trust Our
people will soon have an opportunity o.
listening to his stirring elOquence.

the same size. He cut up four ounces
of cold roast mutton into square chunks
for each of them. He gave them the
meat at the same time. He then forced
an ounce and half of distilled spirit
down the throat of one of the dogs

dogs. The, dog that drank the ardent
spirits had the meat left in his stomach

The wonderful OratOrical powers of Gen
Gibson, his brilliant military record, and
his personal good qualities have won for him
a host of warm and devoted friends, and
make him most formidable candidate. The
District gave Democratic majority of 300
last fall, but the Republicans can redeem it,
and they will.
Gen. Gibson pledged himself to make
such fight as was never known in the
District and that he will keep his word nc
ore who knows him will doubt. The can
vass will be the most lively one in the State.
