HAWKINS, Radical, member of Con-
gress elect from the Paris (Tan.) dis
trict, had an appointment to speak at
Henry Station short time ago, but on
his arrival at the place, was frightened
out of his wits by the performances of a
coiored charavari club, and secreted him
self IN the baggage car of the train and
went on to Paris, impressed with the be-
lief that he had narrowly escaped the
vengeance of bloodthirsty mob. Truly

Aword to our Farming Patrons.

We have repeatedly called upon our
agricultural friends, to employ some of
their leasure moments in giving us the
results of their experiments, and commu-
nicating to US their mode of farming, as
~ell as any improvements in agriculture,
which their experience and observation
may have suggested to them; but we re-
greet, that but few have yet thought prop

frnly an agricultural eGIntry, and We

= Letters and kilograms from all parts

Most of the writers claim to have been
original Grant men, and want an Office
1t may be interesting to such persons, as
we'll as to the country at large, to know
that all are opened by one of the staff
officers, and that those asking for Offices
or money are destroyed as soon as their
purport is ascertained. This morning
about three hundred letters were on hand.
The staff officer charged with the duty
of opening, got along with his work at
the rate of about one per minute. OF
the first hundred opened, General Grant
did not look at single one. About
twenty relating to army officers or pri-
waite soldiers matters were reserved for
future examination, while the seventy
FIVE or eighty from ofice-seekers were at
once torn to pieces and thrown into the
waste paper basket The persons, there
fore, who intend writing about that little
Post office or that assessorship, might as
well save their time, ink, paper, envel-
opes and postage, for their letters, wheth-
er marked private, personal or confden-
tial, will invariably be destroyed by the
staff officer, whose duty it is to examine
them and General Grant will not even
know that they have been received He
has nothing to do with Office giving till
next spring, aud does not intend to be
bored with the matter until it is necessa-
nv that lie should be.

The Democratic Electoral Vote
TO be Cast for GIANT.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
WAsHISGToN, Nov. 8.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
WAsHISGroN, Nov. 8.
A singular movement has been origi-
mated by certain politicians, having in
view the casting of the Democratic cleo
toral votes for Gen Grant 1t is urged
it would influence Grant to a conserva-
tive course, to which he is undoubtedly
inclined. a circular letter on this sub
jcct has been addressed to Mr.. Pendle-
ton, Gov. Stevenson, and Gen. Preston,
of Kentucky, Alex. H. Stephens, and
prominent Democrats of the North. The
following is the text Of the letter
WAsHINGroN, d. c., Nov. 8, '6S.
GENERAL: In my judgment. the
Yisest thing the Democracy could now
do woald be to throw their entire cleo
toral vote for Genral Grant, as an indiea-
ton of the fact that, should he pursue
a liberal, generous and magnanimous
course, they will sustain him. 1t would
also have the effect of not leaving him
altogether in the hands of the adverse
faction, and would doubtless strengthen
any purpose he may entertain toward
the conservative sentiment of the eoun-
try. This vote can not possibly do Sey-
mour any good, and thrown in the manner
suggested would, ct least, produce con-
eiliatory impression.
