HOWE AGAN.-Miss Lucy Gable, accom-
panied by Hon. VIM. B. Ogden, and Mr..
Ferry, Of Chicago and others, arrived home
on last evenings Western Union train She
is able to move about, on crutches, but her
recovery will be very slow. We learn, from
her, that her father is badly injured, but
hopes to get home next week. The 1870
miles of staging from Denver to Cheyenne,
is the hardest part of the route, but be will
be conveyed on a bed, by a special coach,
over that part Of the road, and in a special
car the balance Of the route. She has no
doubt of his ultimate recovery but it will
be through long and severe suffering.
The accident was caused wholly by the
ca7elessness of the driver who desired to
show off his fine six horse team, while turn.
ing around in a narrow street, with I pas.
sengers on his COACH and capsized.

New DEPUTY SHERIrF.-ShrriT Peetz,
wishing to secure the assistance of good
faithful man, who will always be about the
jail, has appointed Lieut.. Charles Engel a
deputy sheriff for that purpose. This, we
think is the first instance in which repub.
lcan sheriff has appointed democratic
deputy-and this is only done because the
sheriff wants his help. Let no democrat
suppose, for a moment, that any sacrifice of
political opinion was required or made,-or
that anything would change the firm democ.
racy Of Charley Engel. He is true to the
principles Of the democratic party; true to
Seymour and Blair, and the whole demo.
cratic ticket--oifce or no office.
ORGANIZE.-If there is a township in this
county where democratic club has not
been formed, few democrats should meet
and organize, at once. Eight or ten, or
twenty will do, to start with But an
organization must be had, ifthey expect to
attend to their business with any kind of
system. There is no time to lose. A club
IS only committee. Let it be organized |
without dely. Frequent meetings are un.
necessary, or large meetings either But
he club has business to do, if the democrats
expect to help redeem the country, and they
'aght to be about it, They want commit.
ees on naturalization; committees on docu.
nents; committees on registration and all
ther business necessary to make a good
onteSt. viii they do it?-or will they sit
own in idleness, and let the RAIDS run over
hem?
