E The democracy are in con
siderable stew over their candidate
for President and the platform upon
which he should stand. Harmony
does not reign supreme. The ives
tern copperheads are for Pendleton
and greenbacks-the eastern bond
holding wing are for Chase or Han
cock and gold. The 4th of July,
the time fixed upen for the meeting
of their convention, will determine
which is the strongest. However, it
don't make any difference which side
wins, as no ticket they can nominate
can beat GRANT and CoLFAx. A large
majority of the voters of the country
have already made up their minds to
have General GRANT in the White
House next March, and the best
ticket the copperheads and bond
holders can nominate will be worse
beat than Mcclellan was in 1864.

Raccoon River Items.

Over $4,000 has been subscribed
to the capital stock, and the work
on Raccoon slackwater improvement
commenced. The first contracts
were let on May 28th, and over
100, 900 feet of lumber for locks has
been contracted for from the mouth
to Sylvester Woods Mills, in Gallia
county, distance of 81 miles
The Company bought the Cottrell
Mill seat and riparian rights Of Esq.
Plymalefer the,purpese ofmoving the
dam down the stream near Lead Run
Rifle. This will reduce the heighth
of the dam at the Ohio river, besides
saving the Company several thou
sand dollars, in cleaning cut chan
mel below the locks.
Locks will be built at the follow
ing places: No. l at the mouth OF
Raccoon; No. near Lead Run
Rifle; No. 8 at Yellowtown; No. 4
near Limestone Ford; No. 5 at
Northup; No. 6 at Margarine; No.
Z at Waterloo; No. s at Falls of Rae
coon Mills; No. 9 at Adamsville; No.
10 at Harrisburg; Ne. Ii at Sylves-
ter Weeds Mills. These locks will
be let at between the 18th and SOth of
this month. Four new dams will be
built, as follows: AT the mouth of
Raccoon, at Lead Run Rifle, at Lime
stone Ford, and at Waterloo. 1t is
the intention of the Company to COM
plete this by the lst of October, 1868.
1t is great pity the citizens OF
Ewington and Vinton, in Gallia ceun-
ty, and Wilkesville township, in this
county, have not subscribed stock
enough to complete the work 50 as
to reach the coal fields of Vinten coun
ty this fall. 1t seems to us this might
be done yet, if the people would only
take hold as they should.
The company have determined not
to make any debts over the amount
of stock subscribed along the line to
each point, as the work progresses
up the river. Why don't some in
fuental citizens from Vinten up to
Hartley's Mills, take hold at once
and have the required stock subscri-
bed 1t can be done if you go to
work.
The right of way has been decided
to the Company from the mouth to
McCarley's Mills, in Gallia county.

Our Candidate for Congress.

The Congressional convention, fer
this district, met at Portsmouth last
week Wednesday Elsewhere we
give the official proceedings.
1t will he seen that Hon. JOHN T.
WILSON, our present worthy member,
was nominated for reelection. Mr..
WILSON has served this district faith
fully-always at his post, and always
true-and this second nomination is
an approval, on the part of his con-
stituents, of his course, and an ap-
probation of his services TO the dis
trict and the noble party which he
represents.
Mr.. WILSON does not, perhaps, pos
sess the commanding abilities of
some others in the district, but as an
upright, honest and truthful friend OF
his country and of the principles of
the party which saved the govern
ment, he has no superior. In this
respect he has been tried, and not
found wanting. In both the field
and the forum his strength and his
manhood have been exerted to per-
petuate this free government of ours,
and, in the darkest hours of its ex-
istance, his devotion to the flag, and
the great principles of liberty and
progress which it represents, was
steadfast and true. Such devoted
patriotism will have its reward. The
people love truth and honesty, and,
as manifestation of that love, they
will rally to the standard of our
worthy nominee, and return him to
Congress by alarge majority,

A Fraud.

The copperheads of Washington

heavy expenses attending the &C
quittal of johnson, have resorted to
new expedient to raise money.
They have sent printed circular to
all office holders, dated 0Union Exc
cutive Committee Rooms, Official
Department, Washington, D. c.
and signed "National Managing
Committee" asking the remittance OF
five dollars Immediately, in conside-
ration of which he will be permitted
to hold his Office. 1t is fraud, OF
course, and a mean one at that. 1t
has been sent to all the Postmasters
in this county. Pay no attention to
it, unless you want to aid johnson
and his copperhead co-adjutors.
