THE MEETINGS IN PosEY COUNTY.
We have information of the meetings
in Posey County last week, at which
General James q. Veatch and Hon.
Will. CUmback spoke. At Poseyville,
on Friday, the largest number of
people ever assembled in that place,
collected to hear the distinguished
speakers. The people were en-
thusiastic in their applause, and gave
evidence of an earnest intention to
work for the success of the great
Union party and, all the candidates.
At New Harmony, on Saturday, there
was a large and enthusiastic meeting,
which was addressed by Hon. Will.
Cumback, General Veatch, and Capt.
T. w. Mccoy. Everything looks
promising in that section of country
On Saturday night another large and
enthusiastic meeting at Mount Yer
non was addressed by Hon. VIII.
and General 2James C.
Veatch. The campaign is now fairly
opened in Posey, and with most fat
tering prospects. 1t only remains for
the. friends to work earnestly and
faithfully, and Posey will roll up a
good round majority for Grant and
the Union. cd bEg o19aaoa

Pole RAISING Al BABTTowN.-
The Grant and CSlfat pole raising at
Babytowu, on Saturday night, vas
largely attended. A tall an beauti-
ful pole was erected, and the names
of Grant and Colfax flung to the
breeze, amid great enthusiasm. The
Grant Gun Squad, under command of
Captain Wauderlich. fred a salute on
the occasion in excellent style.
Speeches were made by Capt. Reavis,
Capt. Gooding, Capt G. Tomhemelt
and Mr.. Kehr, which were recei we'd
with enthusiastic applause by the
crowd. 1t was an excellent meeting,
and the ball was set in motion about
right. This was the first Republican
meeting which has been held in the
country this campaign, and.it proved
to be a grand success IF the friends
all over the county go to work, all
will 60 well. Organization and work
is what is needed here.

STILL VoTING FOR LAIRD.-A gen.
tleman who arrived in the city on
Saturday evening from Boonville in
forms US that some of the delegates to
the District Convention, held at the
Fair Ground on Thursday last, aud
who had become so bewildered from
the effects of Evansville whisky that
they were not aware of the nomina-
ton of Niblack, are still talking of
voting for Judge Laird. To prevent
discOrd in the ranks of the Warrick
delegation, it may be necessary for
Judge Laird to make a visit to that
place and inform them of the result
of the Convention.

SUNK AGAIN.-There5seemssst TO be
a fatality overhanging some of the
iron intended:::for ..the' E.,i FL. & N.
Railroad, now in transit to Hender-
son. It will be remembered that
about a week ago we made mention of
the fact that a barge loaded with this
iron, in tow of the steamer Charles
ton, had sunk at the foot of Fifth
Street, Cincinnati. Most, if not all
of this ironH.was. recovered and re-
shipped by the @. A. Thompson. By
the Cincinnati papers of Saturday we
learn that one of the barges in tow
of the Thompson, which left Cinein-
natl on Thursday evening, struck a
rock at Cullom's Rifle, and it was
soon discoyerbd.tha it was sinking.
An effort was made to land the barge
just below Medoc, and above the
mouth of the Miami, but it fell to
pieces, and sunk in seven feet water.
1t did NOS strike Medoc Bar. The
barge was worth 81, 900, and insured
for $1,000 in the Office of the Mer-
chants, of Cincinnati, and the Ken
ton, Of Covington. The iron was
valued at $4,000, and will mostly be
recovered. The R. @. Gray got forty
tons of the railroad iron sunk on the
barge of the Charleston. q

and promises to be the most success
full political organization of the Presi-
dental campaign. The gallant men
who followed the leadership of their
glorious chieftain, General Grant, are
rallying with great unanimity to his
standard again. In Indianapolis they
have a full company in each ward, and
have projected a regimental organiza-
ton. Let there be a full turn out of
the Fighting Boys in Blue tonight at
Turner Hall, and let US set on foot a
thorough organization.

SERIOUS Academia German
from this city took the 800 accom-
mediation train Saturday morning, to
go to st. James Station, on the E. &
G. R.. r. As the train was approach
ing the station, and had just COM
menced Stacking its speed, the man
jumped off, and was hurled violently
into the ditch, breakin@his leg in two
places. He was taken to the station
and medical assistance called in. He
was brought to the city on j. B.
Kirkman's train, Saturday evening.
This should be another warning
against the hazardous custom of
jumping off trains while they are in
motion. 80

TIE SEYMOUR AND BLAIR PoLE
RAIsTNo.-On Saturday evening quite
a number of men, women and boys,
on hearing the music by the Demo
cratic Silver Band. collected 1t the
corner of Fourth Street and fulton
Avenue, Lamasco. A Seymour ana
Blair pole had been raised during the
evening. and it was intended to have
a grand time. Full two-thirds of
those in attendance were women and
bows. The boys had gone there be-
cause they could have some fun, while
the ladies' no doubt walked out be-
cause it was a pleasant evening.
AT the time for speaking, and
at the call of three or four
men. Peter Maier took the stand
and commenced to harrangue the
crowd in the German language. EVl-
IDENTIFY the people did not care about
hearing him, for some time before ne
commenced many left the place, while

yond the sound of his voice. During
the first part of his speech a kind
German friend translated for the re-
porter of this paper Peters remarks,
but they were of so little consequence
that ever a mere allusion to their sub
stance would be q waste of time.
During his entire speech, which occu-
pied over an hour of time, not more
than one hupdred and fifty people
gave him an audience. During the
speech some man attempted
twice to get up a little APP
plause, but with such little
success that a further attempt was
abandoned entirely. OF all the politi-
cal meetings held in this city this sea-
son, it was the dullest and the most
lifeless. The old wheel horses of the
party were not there; and when Peter
ceased to speak, those who did listen
to him at once left, as if feeling
ashamed that they had attended at
all.

A NARROW EsCAPE.-As the Hop.
Thomas G. Jaquess andWill. Cumback
were coming from Mt. Vernon to this
city yc~sterdayin an open buggy, while
coming down a steep hill a few miles
from here, the hold back strap of the
harness broke, and the buggy, as a
matter of course. ran upon the horse.
Mr. Cumback sprang out at once to
catch the horse, but the buggy was
then going at such speed that he fell,
and Senator Jaquess went on down
the hill, with the buggy running
against the affrighted horse at every
step. They all went down the long,
steep hill with the greatest possible
speed; but, with great presence of
mind, Mr.. Jaquess kept the horse in
the road, and SO guided the animal as
to pass safely over a narrow bridge at
the bottom of the hill. Had he missed
that and plunged into the deep r~avine,
the consequences would nave been
most disastrous. Soon after he cross
ed the bridge the buggy was. overset
and fell into the ditch on one side of
the road, and Mr.. Jaquess was thrown
into the other, and the horse, break
ing the harness, was separated from
the buggy and ran on down the road.
Mr.. Jaquess was but slightly hurt,
and the damage to the buggy and
harness were very inconsiderable,
aud all was soon fixed and the party
were soon on their way rejoicing that
matters were no worse. It was, how
ever, a narrow escape.

A MEAN TRICK.-A man named
Peel, who hailed from Memphis, some
time since took a contract to build a
house for Mr.. Reynolds, on Third
Street. between Locust and Walnut,
and proceeded with the work until
Saturday, when he drew about $50
with which to pay the hands, and to
purchase some material. Instead of
paying the hands he decamped at
nee Mr.. McCorkle sub-let the con-
tract to Peel, and will of course lose
the $50 advanced. 1t is to be hoped
that he may be caught and made to
suffer for his rascality and inefable
meanness.

SOME ExoITEMENF.-Some excite
ment occurred on Third Street, on
Saturday evening. A frail one of the
fair sex called Mollie Brown, closely
followed by another named Puss
Wells, the latter Keeling under thein-
huence of intoxicating liquor, and
both followed by e large crowd of,
men and boys, turned up Third from
Main Street, crossing first to one side
and then back to the other. Evil
IDENTIFY the crowd expected a female
combat but were disappointed in
their expectations by the appearance
OF Capt. Cochrane, of the police
force, who arrested Puss Wells and
lodged her in the city prison. 1t was
indeed a most disgraeeful scene.

POLE RAISING AT FoRr BRANcH
Last Saturday a tall Grant and Col
fax pole was raised at Fort Branch
by the Republicans of that place and.
vicinity, amid shouts for the gallant
standard bearer of the Republican
party. At night General George D.
Wagner made a speech to a large and
enthusiastic crowd of people. The
Republicans of Gibson County are
waking up, and will give a good ac-
count of themselves at the Fall elec-
tions. General Wagner will speak
twice more in Gibson County this
week, and will no doubt be greeted
with enthusiastic applause by the
soldiers and Union loving citizens
wherever he goes. Let us honor the
brave.

FLORAL EXHIBITION. = Notwith-
standing the pleasant weather and
the magnificent display Of plants and
flowers exhibited, free of charge, at
the courthouse on Saturday, the
number Of visitors was very small
indeed. This is not ereditable to the
good taste of the people of Evans
Vile. In almost every city in
the United States a floral exhi-
bition would draw large crowds;
and go to the flower gardens of
any city but this and you will find
hundreds ofivisitors ia the course of
the day. The cultivation and admi-
ration of flowers is everywhere recog-
nized as an evidence Of refinement
and good taste. The display by
Messrs. Dunk and NeWitt1 of both
plants and flowers, was in the highest
degree creditable to both, and should
have attracted a crowded house.

Pubic REcEPTIoN.-On Tuesday
next (to-morrow), General James G..
Veatch will speak at Boonville, on
which occasion the gallant soldiers of
Warrick County and citizens propose
to give the General public reception,
meeting him before he reaches the
place., and escorting him into town.
This is well, and the action will re-
fleet credit on the soldiers and citizens
of Warric6 who propose thus to honor
a brave soldier, a talented gentleman,
and an able defender of the principles
Of the great Union party.
