REPUBLICAN MEETING. - The Republican
meeting an headquarters Saturday evening
was rousirg one. The rooms were complete
iy packed and many went away not being able
to obtain an entrance so that they could hear
the speakers.
The meeting was organized by placing j. a.
Hamlin, Esq, in the chair. Brief but spirit.
ell addresses were made by Messrs. N. A.
Foster, S. E. Spring, G. w. Goddard, Nathan
Webb, O. s. Beale, Ambrose Giddings, NJ. A.
Blanchard and Lieutenant Frank G.. Patter-
son and others. The speakers seemed to be
alive to the Importance OF the present issue,
aud they urged upon the members of the Re.
publican party earnest, active work from this
oided IN November.
The Importance of our Municipal election
was urged. GA? opponents have been at work
for months making preparations for the March
election, and 1t was high time, if the Republi-
can party intended to maintain their control
of the city, that active measures be adopted.
The remarks Of the several speakers found q
response in tke hearts of all present and elicit
ed marked applause. The good effects of these
meetings, although three only have been held
begins to be apparent.
One thing is very evident. The City Com
mittee must obtain moro spacious place for
the meetings.
The meeting adjourned to Saturday even
ing next Tho rooms are open every day and
evening for meetings and consultation of the
Republicans Of the city Each evening a meet
ing should be organized, and those present
Should call upon speakers TO address them.

CuRrosrTrEs.-At the city Of Mo-
dena, in Italy, and about four miles
around il, wherever the earth is dug,
when the workmen arrive at the dis
tance Of sixty-threc feet, they come
to bed Of chalk, which they bore
with an augur five feet deep. They
then withdraw from the pit before the
augur is removed, and upon It's ex-
traction the water bursts up through
the aperture with great violence and
quickly ellis the new-madc well, which
continues full and Is not affected by
rains nor droughts. But that which
Is the most remarkable IN this opera
tiOp, is the layers Of earth as we dc
sccnd. At the depth Of fourteen feet
are found the ruins Of an ancient
city. paved streets, houses, doors, and
different pieces Of mosaic work.
Under this Is found soft, oozy earth,
made upof vegetables, and attwenty-
six feet deep, large trees entire, such
as walnut, with the walnuts still
sticking to the stems, and the leaves
and branches ip aperfect state oI
preservation. At tweniy-eight fee
deep a soft chalk Is found, with !
vast quantity of shells, and this bee
Is eleven feet thick. Underthis veg
etables are found again, with leave
and branches of trees az before.

IN n late speech Al Akron, Ohio,
Fred Douglass, addressing The color
I'd people, told them that The Govern.
ment emaneipated the negro NJ
matter Of policy, and not from any
Christian motive Of right or justice,
and that they had no more reason 10
be thankful 10 The Government for
their freedom than had the Hebrews
10 feel thankful 10 Pharoah for their
delivcrance from bondage. Doug
lass said that although Il was possible
that, naturally, the colorcd men were
equal to the whites, they were not so
practically, and that they must rise
through their own oxortionstoa much
higher degree of intelligence before
being allowed all the rights and priv
iIeges Of the white man. He added
that they were now on probation, and
II fifteen years hence found them as
they are now are, II would be almost
impossible for them to make any adj
vancement. Perhaps this advice
from an intelligent colored man may
be received by his race as the counsel
Of a friend. IL is certain that the
competition against which they will
have TO contend for the means Of sup.
port must increase by imigratior
every year, whilst they can rely OF
no such addition to their numbers
but must make up iorthe inequality il
efficiency. The ignorant and degrad.
ed of whatever color must always b
subject to superior intelligence, and !
behooves the colored people to reaec
whether those are their true friend
who would plunge them into polite
without previous preparation ant
training, or those who would help L
it them, as far as may be accomplish
I ed, for the discharge hereafter Of sucl
duties as may devolve upon them.

One night at the theatre a gentle
man felt the pressure Of two little
fairy feet upon bis patent feathers.
At first the sensation was delightful,
but these impressions wore away and
the pressure began to feel the least
bit uncomfortable. Madam" he
gently suggested, "you are standing
on my feet" !" Your teet, sirs" "Yes,
madam" Goodness / beg your
pardon, sirl l thought i was stand
ing on a block Of wood--they are
quite large, sir" "Quite, but you
covered 'em madam"
Some feet; but we know a fellow
in this vicinity who can lay 'em in
the shade. Being invited to a sea,
in carriage with some ladies, he
was compelled to let his feet hang
out, and IL is reported that the team
perished in attempting to pull their
load! He has contracted with q
freedman to black his boots, and the
sable individual despairs Of getting
through with the job in time for th'
Christmas holidays.

The New SENATOR PROM KE


The New SENATOR FROM KEN
TucKY.--The Senator from Ken
tucky, Hon. Thomas G. McCrecry,
recently elected in place Of Mr..
Guthrie, resigned, is q new man, and
one who has never held an Office Of
any kind. He Is about fifty years
old, man Of fine talents and educa-
tion, q successful and eloquent speak
or, and unblemishcd character. Twice
in his life he was a candidate for
Congress, but as his district was i'm
mensely Wing, he was beaten on
both occasions, though by greatly 70
duced majorities. A correspondent
writing from Frankfort to the Lou
isville Journal, says:
"Tbe Senator elect has never held
an Office in his life. lie has nevel
been In the Legislature, held 4 post
Office, or even been a constable. L
is an example without a precedent
and certainly looks like q return h
4" first principles" He Is q man 70
whom Kentucky will have no reaso'
to be ashamed. His intellect Is o
the 6rst order; and though not ac
customed to courtly life, will presen
himself as a recast Of tho legislator
Of the early and pure days If tn
Republic"

PUBLIC RECEPTION TO SPEAKER

PUBLIC RECEPTION TO SPEAKER CoLFAX.
EVANSVILLE, Oct 30.-Hon. Schuyler Co.
fax was rendered public reception 10 day in
the Opera house. He spoke ut Turner ball at
ni.hr. He came down from VIncennes on a
special train in the morning, and was received
al stations by large crowds OF people with mu-
SIC, flags ard decorations. The audiences in
this city were very large and enthusiastic. Al
the 0 )era Hon e he was introduced by Gen
Veatch. Mr. CoIfax spoke of the suspicious
indicat ous OF triumph Tor the right next Tues
DAY. and the peace and protection for all Sou b
and North that would follow. In the course of
his remarks he alluded to the fills ,hood of the
Louisville Courier. He sad that Wednesday
morning, the day he spoke at New Albany
that paper charged that in 1852, after ScotL's
nomination, when the tide was turning against
him at the South, Colfax wrote him at South
Bend daily for weeks Tor the Louisville Cou-
rer, telling him OF the enthusiasm there WAS
over Sc5tt's nomination. He denied the charge
in toto 10 his New Albany speech on Wedne5-
day, declaring that he had never written such
letters 10 that or any other paper
On Thursday the Courier acknowledged that
its charge of the previous day was untrue, hut
reprinted letter from its Fl es dated in 1862 at
New Orleans, and signed "Louisiana, before
the domination, but urging Scott in the South
as sound on slavery, and which its editor says
he is wiling to swear was wrttrn by him. Mr.
Colfax branded this as equally false with the
