Editors Journal:
Your correspondent left Petersburg
about 8 o'clock A. NJ. for this anti
quated little village to attend the
Democratic Convention for the nomi-
nation of candidates for the various
county offices to be filed at the Octo-
Der election.
We overlook the Democratic pro-
cession about u mile from Winslow,
and not being able to pass, fell IN
with il. It was headed by the Peters
burg Brass Band, which discoursed
sweet music as the procession neared
the town. The procession followed
the band to the grove, where a large
crowd had already assembled.
| The town was full Of people, the
men having bought new hats and
Summer coats, and the ladies IN new
calico dresses, all looking soneat that
n stranger might readily have mis-
taken it for a Republican meeting.
There was the usual number OF pea.
nut stands, water, melon wagons, and
patent medicine "hawkers " on the
| street corners. <
THE CROWD
was nearly as large as that at the Re-
publican, meeting at Petersburg when
Gov. Baker addressed Us. About
one third of the crowd was Repubii
cans. 1t might be estimated at from
600 10 $500, women and children
included. There are about l,IUO
Democratic voters IN. the county, ana
probably eight hundred Of them were T5i
present. Hon. Thomas X: COBB, DIS
irict Elector, spoke before dinner
Mr.. Cobb is large, fine looking man
with-easy manners aud pleasant aa1
dress. He was formerly citizen OF
Lawrence County. where he was
elected to the State Senate In IS6z as
a Union man, against the TegNtoI
Democratic nominee. In the LegIsla-
t1re he soon fell back into the Dem.
n ocratic ranks. In 1866 he ran as the
Democratic candidate for the Senate
and had the corn shelled of OF hin

Campaign Notes.

JUDGE A. w. G. CARTER, for many
years a prominent Democratic politi-
clan of Cincinnati. has come out for
GRANT and COLFAX.
MILES J. SHINN, lifelong Demo-
crat in Wayne County, on Tuesday
evening last, made speech for GRANT
and CoLFAX, near Richmond.
TEN thousand people attended a
Republican mass meeting in Switzer-
land County, on Saturday last.
COLONEL LEN. HARRIS, of Cincin-
natl, proposes to take the stump for
GRANT and CoLFAx.
THE GRANT TANNERS are said to
be the liveliest workiagmen's organi-
cation in the country.
A NEW Democratic paper has been
started at Corinth, Mississippi, which
is ornamented with the Stars and
Bars" 1t is edited by the rebel Colo
mel Tyler.
THE torehlight procession In Spring
field, Illinois, on the I'D, in honor
of Senator YATES, was one mile in
length of solid platoons.
GENERAL DURBIN WARD fails to
come to time ON the appointments
made for him by the Democratic Dis
triet Committee. He can't get over
his defeat for the Congressional NOM
ination by VALLANDIGHAM.
" VIRGINIA's vote for President
shall be counted" says GREEN CLAY
SMITH. The law of the United States
says it shall not. What is GREEN
CLAY going to do? He says he will
head another rebellion to carry out
his ediet, in which case there will be
Green Clay vessel badly smashed.
The Nashville Banner is of the
opinion that the Ku- Klux organiza-
ton has more to justify it than the
Tennessee State Government, which
it calls Radical oliglrchy. We have
no doubt the Banner thinks so.
Mr.. LAFE DEvLIN, Chairman OF
the Democratic State Central Com.
mittee, told the Germans the othe,
day that, if General GRANT was
elected President, none of them need
ever expect to vote again. LAFF
wants to scare somebody. He will
find that the Germans don't scare
worth a cent.
The Chicago Post says: 1.-THE,
have in indianapolis an organization
of Democratic soldiers called the
White Boys in Blue After the
election they will be blue boys in
white"

GOVERNOR OGLEsBY. = This dis
tinguished soldier and eloquent era
tor is now filling a series of appoint
ments in Illinois, and his presence
is everywhere drawing out immense
crowds of people. His canvass is lit
tie less than a grand ovation on the
part of the loyal people of that State,
who admire his soldier qualities and
craftsmanship, and are charmed by
his eloquence. We doubt not the
people of Indiana will be glad of the
opportunity presented by his visit to
Evansville to do him equal honor.

Hendricks Endorses Forrast

In his speech at Princeton on the
18th inst, Mr.. HENDRICKS came up
to the defense of HAMPTON and For
REST in the most eloquent manner.
He gloried in the fact that these
worthless were members of the New
York Convention, and volunteered
the following testimony to the sound
ness of their Democracy:
WADE Hampton fought through
the rebellion like brave man, gen
tleman and a soldier, and / respected
him Forrest was bold command

ularly mad at Forrest. They charge

The New York letter to the Phlla-
delphia Ledger records what we are
glad to hear, as follows:
The Republicans are pushing the
canvass with great vigor, without
making much noise about it. The
State Central Committee are making
ARRANGEMENTS for public meetings IN
all the great towns on the Hudson
River, and all along the line Of the
Central Railroad through to Buffalo.
The most effective speakers that can
be obtained will address the meetings;
the intention being to concentrate all
the Republican forces in this State

its electoral vote for Grant and Col

THE Courier has no denial to make
under the crushing weight of evidence
furnished by every paper from the
South that the Democracy have be-
come the Black Mans party. 1t does
not deny the miscegenation of white
and black brethring in the compost
ton of the officers of Democratic
clubs; of speakers, white and black,
on the same stand; of mixed as
semblagcs at barbecues and dances,
and preference given to negroes at the
first table. And all this in our glori

every man who butchered Union SOL
diers, and if he was the gentleman

war, the respect entertained for him
by the Democratic candidate for Gov

was followed by two colored orators in
support OF the nominees of the Dam0cracv

THROWING powders at men walk
ing IN a procession is cowardly and
murderous. We are not aware that
democratic professions are ever
stoned In this city. There are locali-
ueS' however. through which the Re-
puoleans can not march, carrying
torches, without being exposed to
showers of stones. Ii Is time there
was an end to this. Officers of the
Republican procession, we notice. tes-
tify that they try to restrain the men
and keep them from leaving the ranks
and seeking the assailants when
stoned. Perhaps it would be we'll tn
try the experiment of changing this
policy IT few knots of scoundreis
who throw stones, or cOmplacently
witness the outrage, were really we'll
thrashed, the effect might be whole
some.-Cia. Commercial.
The Commercial is right, and we
predict somebody will get hurt if the
thing is not STONED.
