EDITORS LEDGER: Let no Democrat
be discouraged in consequence Of the
State elections on the 18th instant To
the rejecting mind they are quite encour-
aging. In 1866 these very States polled
an aggregate Radical majority of about
5000 votes on the 18Th instant they
lose $4,000 votes, their aggregate ma
jorities being about $4,000. Ii every
Democrat in the whole country will do
his duty for the next twenty days, and
vote promptly on the Sd Of November,
these small msjorities influenced by
local causes) may be overcome in those
States, and Seymour and Blair thus
elected. Again, if every Democrat will
do his duty and vote, the States casting
their electoral vote for Seymour and
Blair will foot up popular major
ity of not less than 100000
votes; these added to the disfran-
chised vote of the South (say 100000
make popular majority Of half million
votes against Grant, which we believe be
cannot by any means overcome; and he
will stand pledged, under those circum-
stances, by his letter of acceptance, to
carry out the Democratic platform in
stead of the Chicago-as platforms are to
be his Constitutions, based, as he has it,
upon the twill Of the people"
Let no Democrat be discouraged, but
let US work like beavers till FIVE o'clock
on the third of November, when we may
sit down and rest from our labors con-
tented-knowing we have done our duty
even though we sit among the debris of
the fallen structure of constitutional re-
publican liberty. 5. /

.Let Us Have Peace. J,

We are in a promising way to peace.
The addition Of fifty thousand men to our
armies would probably effect it at an
early day. Five thousand to each recon.
structed State ought to be sufficient,
where none will be found to oppose them I;
unless it should be thought best so to
police and guard the States that out
lawry and vagrancy should be put down
by the national arms. Then it would
take considerably more, as the Bureaus
are making outlaws grow in number, as
we'll as in the atrocity of their acts. Tel
egrams coming from Gen. Sherman,
who has the Indian frontier in charge, in-
dictate that all the present forces Of the
Union will soon be needed to take
care of the Indians. He represents that
the warlke Comanches and Howss have
refused to accept their annuities, and gone
off on the war path. So few troops could
be spared by Grant for the only enemies
of the Union now remaining on our soil,
and so many have been needed to sup
port his reconstruction measures, that the
Indians have been emboldened by the
weakness of the forces opposed to them.
The war expenses of this year ere only
estimated at $l47 100000. That is but
q drop in the bucket, now we are only
slightly in debt When we were out Of
debt we could not build Pacific railroads
even. But now it is easy, and another
one hundred and fifty millions will be q
trihs. Let Us have fifty thousand add
tiOnal men-enough for all purposes
"Let US have peace.

CIRCUIT COURT Court was
opened on Tuesday morning. Judge Tay-
lor presiding. Shortly after the opening
the Grand and Petit Jurors were discharg
ed on account of some Illegally in the
drawing. The law requires the clerk of
the court to draw the Jury in presence
of Justice of the Peace and the Sheriff.
The clerk of the court however, failing to
post himself on the subject after being
in the office-as clerk and deputy--nea-ly
FIVE years, procured Police Justice and
had the Sheriff draw the names, which
as will be seen is not in accordance with
..e law, and hence the Jury was dis
charged and an expense incurred to the
County, of about five hundred dollars, all
for nothing. Another evidence of the
capability ~ of democratic Office holders
In this county.
The jury that was drawn has been the
subject of general comment for a few
weeks past, and it is boldly asserted that
twas packed by the County Board in the
interests of James Kirby who is charged
with embezzlementb by the town of Frank
lin. We haye no proof of this, but new
ertheless it is strange coincidence, that
over one half of the Grand Jury drawn
we're friendly to Mr. Kirby. and it is be-
lieved by some would never have found
a bill of Indictment against him, no mat
ter now strong the proof Of his guilt.
We don't charge ffoul play" but the
complexio of the Jury looks little sus-
suspicious.

An experienced dealer in furs says:
Never dry your furs near the fire if you
come in with snow or rain upon them.
Stroke the fur with the hand being sure
to rub the ,oay the far gro,cs. If you
dry them near fire they will be like a
feather dried in the same way-rumpled
and 'mussy' and can never be made to
look nice again. This treatment of furs
preserves the lustre and keeps them al
ways looking rich and glossy 1t is the
natural way, or it is nearest to the way in
which the animals themselves do it. The
fact is one of value and should be renem-
bered.

NEWSPAPER DIREcToRY.-Geo. P.
Rowell, q Co., the New York advertising
agents, are about issuing a complete
American Newspaper Directory. 1t is a
compilation much needed, since nothing
of the kind having any claims to com-
pleteness has ever been published.
Messrs Rowell & Co. have spared no
pains or expense to make the forthcoming
work complete. We understand the
book will be handsome octave volume
of about 800 pages, bound in dark cloth,
and sold for Five Dollars per copy.
As the publishers are Advertising
Agents, their issuing a work containing
30 much information, usually jealousy
guarded by those in that business, shows
that they are confident of their ability to
be Of service to adve, tisers, or they would
not 30 readily place in their hands the
means of enabling every one to commune
cate direct with publishers if they so
desire.
