A recent number of the Decatur (Ala.) Re
pabic0n remarks "A more deplorable state
affairs has seldom, if ever existed in this coun
try than exists to-day. On Monday night last
band OF mounted Ku.kluX paraded our streets
and did us great honor in calling on us and re-
questng us to leave the country in three days,
on pain of death. Aaron Upsaw, colored man,
was attacked and saved his life only by flight.
After finishing their mission in our hitherto
quiet little city, they proceeded to the country,
and at the dark hour OF midnight Tor no cause
whatever, brutally murdered James stephenson,
q colored man, residing few miles from this
city.
81 have been informed that my name has been
mentioned IN Missouri papers in connection
with some official positions. While highly
approaching the compliment, l desire to say
that am not candidate Tor any Office what
ever, and do not intend to be. | am at present
endeavoriug to render myself useful in this
campaign where help is most needed, and If
can contribute anything TO the success of the
Republican cause in this crisis, my wishes Will
be amply satisfied"
All the wealth and intelligence of the State
are Tor Seymour and Blair.-Rebet paper. Yes,
and all the conscrpt enrolling officers and all
the tithe collectors, ard all the impressing
agents of the Confederate States are for Seymour
and Blair too. The honest, hard working people
who were forced into the Rebellion against their
will, and all who are loyal to their Government
and in favor of peace are Tor Grant and CollaX.

The Mobile Register advises the Democracy
OF Alabama to seek the negro ballot by what 1t
must know to be unmitisated ialsehood. 1t
says:-"Impress it upon them that Northern
Immigration brings with 1t Yankee improve
enls; machinery that one man can take ana
do the work OF ten men. This leaves nine idle;
and il makes lands worth 500 per acre that eau
now be bought tor S5."
Not less than eight thousand people were
present AT a Republican meeting held on tue
10th instant at Memphis, Clark county, lndt-
diana. The Charleston delegation alone was
100 strong, and over one mile Ia length. FIVE
martial and two brass bands, and halt dozen
pIee clubs were in attendance.
There have been portraits of Davis, Lee,
HAMPTON, and other Ike rebel heroes, borne In
Den nocratic professions since the campaign
| opened. But no one has yet ventured upon
| picture of Booth. Why should the greatest
| Democratic hero of the age be thus lighted?
| Frank Blair said in q speech West, that 1.-THE
| great masses Of the miehty Republic have no
| affinity with the negro" That is true, Tor an
| the mulattOes down South claim arlstocrallc
| paternity. Some of them might sit as proxies
