A specimen Candidate.

The rebels of Kentucky are carry
ing political matters in that blessed
commonwealth with high hand. No
man, unless he has been 10 the Con
federate army, or has in some way
distinguished himself in the cause Of
rebelliou, stands a ghost of a chance
in Democratic convention. Among
a multitude of Candidates across the
river in TIE Hopkins7ille District the
Democratic party have selected to
make the race for Commonwealth
Attorney, she rebel Colonel SYPERT,
a notorious guerrilla and heartless
bushwhacker, who was chased and
hunted through Western Kentucky
during the war by the Federal troops
as an outlaw. He was one Of the
party who burnt the court houses in
that section of the State, and his pill
laying and violations of all the rules
Of civilized warfare made him the
terror of every Union citizen. This
man is now engaged in canvass of
his district as the candidate of the
Democratic party. In his speech at
Madisonville last week, he boasted of
his guerrilla services, and pleaded
them as a reason why he should be
preferred for Office. Just such men as
the guerrilla SYPERT are the Demo
Gratis whom the Evansville Courier
and the Indiana Copperheads desire
to see placed in Office in Kentucky.
While they weep over the tomb Of
JOHN MORGAN, they pray for the sue
cess of his living comrades, such as
SYPERT.

HendrIcks for 7resldent.

We have from time to time chrOnI-
eled the little rebellion which the
Evansville Courier, New Albany
Ledger, and a few of the Democratic
leaders of Southern Indiana, have
been endeavoring to raise against the
action of the State Convention In the
endorsement of PENDLEFoN for Presi
dent. The Courier generally waits
upon the, movements of the Ledger,
and when it has spoken the organ of
the Vanderburgh Democracy quite
boldly echoes its sentiment. Both Of
them have published. with approval,
the letter of AUGUST BELMONT, the
rich, bond-holding Chairman of the
National Committee, and the article
from the New York Journal of Coqs-
neerce, which are covert attacks upon
PENDLEToN, the choice of the Indi-
ana Democracy. The Ledger has
gone step further and reads the In
dianapolis Sentinel, Cincinnati E,quj-
rer, and other decided PENDLEToN
organs, a lecture about their domi-
neering efforts to whip it into the sup
port of their favorite, whereupon the
Courier copies the Ledger approx
ingly.
These papers and their friends affect
to be enamored with HANCOCK as the
right man to make the race for Presi-
dent; but their real and honest choice,
known to us from the beginning, Is
Thomas A. HENDRICKs, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor Mr.
HENDRICKS, while in attendance upon
the State Convention, made known to
his friends the fact that there was
possibility Of securing for him the
nomination for the Presidency. This
explains the cause Of the opposition
manifested by leading delegates from
this part Of the State to the resolu-
ton in favor of PENDLEToN. And
from it our readers can understand
the course Of sthese organs since the

While it is conceded that he is not /

and the Democratic masses are accus-
toned to voting for unknown men.

BATTELL, aged. IS Cleveland Herald, 1871
The old citizens of Southern Indi-
ana, in common with host of friends
aud acquaintance, young and old, 10
this city, will be panied to read the
above announcement. Thus one of
the best of the original inhabitants of
Evansville, binding the present to the
past. is gone. Probably the only re-
naming one is the venerable Nathan
Rowley, Esq, who stands now in a
ripe old age, upon the brink Of the
grave ready to follow his pioneer
comrades to the eternal home.
Judge BATTELL was a native Of
Connecticut. He studied law in Cat
skill, and spent few years of his
early professional life in Western
New York. Full of vigor and enthu-
siasm, he emigrated to the West, and
in June, 1919, landed In Evansville,
two years after the town had been
named and laid of" and the same
year that it assumed its first corpo-
rate existence. He first located at
Springfield, then the county seat Of
Posey, where he engaged in the prac-
tice of his profession. In 1921 and
1922, ne represented that county in
the Legislature, then held in Cory
don. In 1823,she returned to Evans
Vile, and from that date he has main
tanned a residence at Evansville, up
to the last two years of his life,
which have been spent with his rela-
tives in Cleveland, Ohio.
Judge BATTELL filled several i'm
portant public positions, among which
Was the judgeship of the State Circuit
Court, in all of which he acquitted
himself with honor and preserved an
unsullied reputation. We make the
following extract from a sketch Of his
life and character, which appears in /
the Cleveland Herald, and which will /
be cordially endorsed by all who knew
him.
He was truly "a gentleman of the old |
school, we'll versed in his profession, I
and cultivated by extensive reading, F
and tue society Of educated men and /
woren. He was especially well in /
formed IN the history and politics Of
our country, past and present, and
had personal knowledge of many Of
the leading minds of the generation
now almost gone. He was a true
Wing and true Republican. As
lawyer, judge, and legislator.

seen that the day set apart for the decora"
tion Of the graves Of the fallen Confed-
crate soldiers has been changed to Sunday,
May 10Th, day ever memorable as mark
ing one of the saddest events in the history
Of a struggling country-the death Of

fully appropriate is this change. The
holy, quiet Sabbath, with its soitening in-
huences, the sad memories connected with
the death of the revered leader, and the
solemn ceremonies of the flower anniver-
sary, all conspire 10 make this day day
TO be handed down with the records of
time as one on which great people with
one accord knelt aud Wept beside their
fallen defenders.
There is something peculiarly significant
10 the simple ceremonies attendant upon
this occasion, which the silent language Of
flowers can alone convey, and these are the
only monuments, fading but ever return
ing, vouchsafed to the soldier of the South.
Surely no proud victor can envy him this
sweet testimonial TO his bravery and worth,
or care TO mock the love that binds the
living 10 the dead.

TIE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.-Gen. Joe
Cooper, the little militiaman, has dis.
tanced Rogers and Hamilton at every
point in the race for the rather doubtful
position of Congressman at large from
negro-voiing Tennessee. 1t is now said
that r. and II. want the Governor to
withdraw his proclamation for an election
and il is not altogether certain that he will
not do this. Though it is claimed that
this State is entitled TO a Congressman al
large ia consequences of the tremendous in
crease 10 the voting population following
upon the enfranchisement Of The blacks, the
admission of the member Of Congress to be
elected would be extremely doubtful, as
other States entitled to similar representa-
ton have never demanded it.
OF course the greed for Office which has
characterized Tennessee politics since the
war, could not permit 80 lucious morsel
as this to slip, and the probability is that
the candidates will make a big fight and
take the chances.
