The Norfolk Folic.-The Oysters
of Norfolk are said to DO the best in the
world, but we understand they "disa-
greed" with many of the delegates from
the chill country" and they entertain
a higher veneration now for the virtue
called moderation. An obscure rumor
reaches US that one of the Bristol dele
cation fell as he was leaving the city,
and some one Lad the temerity to pour
a glass of whisky on his head while he
was getting up. Conyiviality seemed
to be the order of the journey, and we
trust that, while Norfolk has less wits.
ky and less oysters, she has more ad.
mirers, and will have more direct trade
than any city except Bristol.

The GrecidR Bend refuses to bend

peared in Bristol. Being ignorant Of
the peeularihes of this innovation, we
ut first attributed the deformity to what
we supposed might be the effect of stone
bruises or perhaps an attack Of cramp in
che epigastrie region. As the innova,
ton made it's debut in the person of
some of our most lovely aud accomplish
ed young ladies' we were prompted to
spring to their relief, but to our surprise
i've met with repulse which, however,
manifested ITSELF in that erect attitude
b. which W. had read our most lorcible
lessons in female dignity and displeas-
hire. The moving beauty fed from the
puryiew OF our gaze, but has again and
again passed our door lake seetarian.

LETTER FROM KENTUCKY.


MoRGANTowN, KY, Aug. 81, 1868.
Editors Journal:
AS the smoke of the election be-
gins to clear away, it seems indubit-
able that the Dutch have taken Hol-
land, i. e.: the Democrats have carried
Kentucky. Great efforts are being
made to show that Stevenson's ma
jority shows decrease Of Republican
strength in this State. Such is not
the case. predict that Stevenson's
aggregate vote will, when correctly
estimated, be found less than the
Democratic vote of last year, viz:
Helm and Kinkead Bakers vote is
about 5000 less than Barnes's, which
simply shows that the Union men did
not vote. No canvass was made, and
except In q few counties no Union
| county candidates were run; hence
| there was no indueement offered by
the Republicans to vote, while In the
! large Democratic counties and Ju-
dioial Districts no eanvasses were
made by opposing Democrats; hence
the full Democratic vote was polled.
Last year 4 spirited canvass was
made, and county candidates gen.
orally were In the field But not
Nithstanding the terrible and infa-
nous prescription, social, religious,
professional. and political, that is
visited upon the Union men of this
State, glorious few in every county
voted for Baker.
1t occurs to me that the Democrats
have been allowed to misrepFesent
the question of taxes about long
enough. They are continually howl
ing about the farmer and the laboring
man paying the Federal tax, which IS
not true. There Is not a cent of il
levied upon the farmer nor the earn
lngs of the laborer, but is just where
1t ought to be, upon the rich man and
upon those who make their living
without labor and upon the business
of the land. The Democrats, howev-
er, In their platform, propose to tax
all property according to its value,
and this plan will ruin and impOver
lsh the poor man, and the rich will
| soon own all the land, and we will
thus have the bloated iaRdhOLder as
well as bondh0lder. The question
for the great mass of the people to set
tie is, shall the taxes be paid as now.
by the rich or by those who labor not.
or shall the poor man pay five per
cent. upon his little home and his lit
tie personal property until no longer
able to do it, he must see it sell for
trife and paid into the hands of Wall
Street spectators, and himself and
family turned out of doors to suffer.
If you want such a state of affairs,
vote the Democratic ticket, headed by
the Great Decliner. Seymour. If you
want to have peace, law, order and
plenty, and live under your own vine
asd fg tree. as you have done, vote
the Republican ticket, headed by the
greatest captain of the age, General
Urant. l predict that Grant will get
near $4,000 in this State.
Yours, RADICAL.
