the question again recurs, where can we find
the two men wanted for the democratic Presi-
Dental ticket-a popular man for the East, a
popular man for the West, and each calculated
to strengthen rather than to weaken the other !?
There is some silly talk in the newspapers and
among she outside politicians touching the
availability of Chief Justice Chase as the demo-
cratic nominee for President, with Seymour or
some other Eastern man for Vice President; /;
but such team would not pull together. Mr..
Chase would do as the candidate of an inter-
mediate party, but jump at once from the
radical to the democratic camp is out of the
question. Where, then, are we to go for our
democratic ticket? We hear some talk of fall
ing back on the old ticket of Mcclellan and
Pendleton, and ito this complexion it may
come at last"
Why not? Mcclellan was stronger than the
democratic party in 1864, and but for the bur-
den Of that Chicago platform, which he could
not shake off, he might have made it very
tight race with the popular Lincoln. McClel-
lan's absence from the country since that time
has not hurt him, and it is still the popular be-
lief that he was not fairly dealt with by
Stanton. Pendleton, relieved of the Chicago
platform, is not so coppery in color as he was
painted. His war record is perhaps as good
as that of Seymour, and very different from
that of Vallandigham Pendleton, too, al
though it is active stock in trade, has from his
agitation of the policy Of greenbacks for the
bondholders, become exceedingly popular in the
West, as the unanimous voice in his favor of the
democracy Of all the Western States attests.
The ticket, therefore, of Mcclellan and Pen
dleton may become the only alternative of the
Democratic National Convention as a basis Of
compromise and cooperation between the East
and the West. But they say that Mr.. Pende-
ton will be first this time on the ticket or
nothing. In this event he will be ruled out, or
there will be two democratic tickets in the
field-one East and one West one on the Bel
mont and Seymour financial platform and one
on the Pendleton platform; and, as the first
move for thoroughgoing reconstruction Of
parties and the breaking of the radical
strength in Congress, this after all may be the
wsost course to pursne.

MONSTER RALLY.-One of the grandest
Union rallies ever witnessed on this coast took
place at San Francisco on the evening of the
lst inst The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Grant and Colfax Soldiers
and Sailors Club. The torchlight process
sion previous to the meeting numbered over
three thousand, and consisted of delegations
from all the Union Clubs of the city, Free.
dom s Defenders turning out one thousand
strong. There were six bands of music IN
the procession, while the line of march liter
ally blazed with sky rockets and different
descriptions of illuminations. Two hundred
guns were fired while the procession was
moving. After the procession, Union Hall,
the most capacious public building in the
city, was filled to overflowing with an enthu-
siactic crowd, who were addressed by FELTON,
and Lagrange. The large multitude who
were unable to gain admission to the Hall
were addressed on the outside by Major Nor
ris, J. G. McCallum and others. The meet
ing did not adjourn until after midnight, and
was by far the largest and most enthusiastic
demonstration Of the campaign.

A DEMOCRATIC ORATOR 1t has been an
nounced that Major General Kirby Smith, of
the Confederate army, will arrive in Califor-
mia in few days, and that this loyal Demo-
crat comes to our State at the solicitation
and at the expense of the Democratic State
Central Committee. The last sfumping per-
formed by Gen. Kirby Smith in behalf of the
Democracy was in Texas, says the Appeal.
He was the last General to surrender to the
"tyrant" Lincoln, being more anxious to die
in the "last ditch than either Of the other
commanding Generals. If it is true that this
rebel Chief is about to stump this State for
Seymour and Blair the Democratic party
should have all the honor and glory. And
why should not Kirby Smith enjoy the pleas
ure of addressing and shaking hands with
his friends who 50 deeply sympathlzed with
him while he was in the field slaughtering
Union men? He is no greater rebel than
hundreds who attended the late National
Democratic Convention. Gov. Vance, Wade
Hampton and other rebel chiefs participated
in the nomination of Seymour and Blair, and
why should not Major General Kirby Smith
take the stump for their election? If he i.

THE STANLEY HoNICIDE.---Last week we
and killed W. F. Stanley, on the LIST inst, at
Kem's ranch, on South Cow Creek. The
testimony adduced before the Coroner's jury
shows that Stanley had rented Kem's ranch
and orchard that Kem's family persisted in
helping themselves to fruit; and that Stan
ley denied their right to do so. KEN finally
entered the orchard with revolver, with the
avowed intention of killing Stanley. Mrs.
Stanley seized hold Of KEN and prevented
him firing at her husband until he had got
out of the orchard. Kem's daughter then
brought her father rife, and he hay in wait
for Stanley. who soon returned to the orchard,
carrying rifle. KEN then raised up from
his concealment and fred, the ball passing
through Stanley's brain and killing him in
stantly. The jury returned verdict that
Stanley came to his death at Kem's hands
and that bis daughter, Caroline KEN, was
accessory TO the deed. We understand
that KEN and bis daughter surrendered
themselves to the Justice of the Peace at
Millville.
P. S.-Since the above was put in type we
learn that KEN has had an examination be.
fore Justice Adams, at Mllville, and has been
held for murder. to await the action Of the
Grand Jury. Caroline KEN, after examina
tion, was discharged.

Pure Blood, Muddy Water.

Pure blood may be compared to pure water, and
impure blood to muddy water. If you pass muddy
water through muslin you soil it continue the
process and you cover with thick mud. Blood
passes through all parts Of the body if good and
pure it nourishes and ceanses the parts it goes
through. If impure it leaves or less dirt be-
hind it. BRANDRErH's PILLS are the medicine
wanted, because they made on purpose to take
dirty humors out of the body, and they fail.
These pills scrofula, even of forty years
standing; they have cured cases of rheumatism
when the patient had not walked for four years
of paralysis where the legs had lost their power of
movement for seventeen years. The evidence in
these cases cannot be disputed. Is there town in
the world where such evidence exists not? If
BRASDRETH's PILLS have been much used there

WE WANT GRANT,. B. Felton's speecb
at San Francisco, was the ablest of tbe
campaign. In conclusion, speaking of Gen
eral Grant, he said
hat can we suffer if Grant is at our
mead! There is some men so organized that
society leans upon them. His eloquent acts
speak OF his untiriug energy, his devotion
10 duty, his inagnanimity and want of per.
sonai ambition. AT the head of the army,
what lover of his country suggested that
| another would be better than he? How
slowly his modesty attracted the gaze of the
nation. How steadily grew the confidence
OF the nation in his power to guide them to
safety. With what unchanged, steady pace,
never tagging and never breaking into run F.
never tired, never impetuous, he distanced
all competitors. How gradually he sits
there, as the curtain closes on the war, at
that little table of pine, and dictates the
courteous, simple words tnat reunite forever
in one race, with one common purpose
the two nations which generation of dis
sensions and quarreling had divided ~ ****
Let there be peace. In the mouth of the
coward these words signify only the longings
of a mean heart for ease, even though at
the expense of honor and pride. Let there
be peace, the lukewarm patriot says, for he
cares but little for the grandeur of great
Nation, whose flag commands and thereatens,
and forces respect. Let there be peace, says
Grant. 1t comes from the heart of a warrior.
1t comes from the horror that fields stream
ing with blood have inspired. 1t comes from
the sympathy, gentleness, and love for his
kind which great man feels. 1t comes
from the lips of man for whom war has no
terror when the safety or honor of his coun-
try is concerned. He would not have utter
ed these words during the war, excepting on
the condition that the supremacy of his
Government should be acknowledged. Sat
isfed that this is done, he utters them now
as the one aspiration of his heart, the one
pledge of his policy, the one object to which
bis efforts will be directed. Noble old COM
mander! we trusted you once, when the
tempest was tossing our bark; we will trust
you again now that the sun shines brightly,
but there are still clouds in the heavens.

The summer grass will wave softly over

WHY.-In reply to the inquiry why the
Ku Klux commit so many outrages at the
present time. Col. James L. Hill of Tennes-

AT the time of the meeting of the New
York Convention. everything was quiet
On the 4th of July the President issued his
proclamation of general amnesty. The rebel
element who bad heretofore respected their
paroles as prisoners of war regarded this as
ahsolving them from all the obligatory con.
dition of those paroles, and that they were
no longer bound by them and. being absolv
ed from any penalty, they at once placed
themselves in an attlt"de of defiance to the
Stare laws. as recommended by the resolu-
tions of the New York Convention, which de-
clared these State Governments null and
void At that time the organization of the
Ku Klux was confined to two or three coun-
ties in the State; but. after the issuance Of
that proclamation, followed by the resolutions
of the New York Convention, and the action
of the Northern Democrats toward Forrest
and other leaders in the rebellion, the orga
nzation was made general.

DROPPED her SKIRTs.-At the performance
of la Belle Helene" at the Alhambra
Theater on Tuesday evening, says the San

down on the bills. One of the actresses
came on the stage in Grecian robe of blue,
long and trailing. In the middle of the scene
the lady's skirts became unfastened and fell
about her feet, leaving her standing dressed
in full above the waist and with but single
white garment from there down. The shouts
of laughter which greeted her only render
ed her cooler, for deliberately gathering up
the fallen garment, she turned to the audi
ence and exclaimed, You needen't laugh ;
it might have happened to any of you" and
then walked off amid the shouts and roars OF
a large audience.

Yellow Fever Blackburn.

Among the various notables who figured
at the Democratic Convention, held in New
York on the 4th of July last, we do not hear
of that distinguished champion of the s lost
cause,'' DIR. Blackburn. He, of all others,
showed his zeal in the cause of the murder
ers and assassins who sought to break up the
Government This fiend of hell---no, We will
not call him that, for it will disgrace the
lowest fend of hell to class him with such
a wretch having plotted to spread yellow
fever in that very city, where his friend
Seymour was put in nomination, should
have been placed in position to have re-
ceived vote of thanks from that Convention.
He was as void of heart as the bottom of
the mighty ocean is of dry land. He plotted
to poison the waters of the very city where
Seymour his friend. was put in nomination.
Arson was to be added to the other crimes
which for atrocity, were unheard of in all the
annals of the world Yet this infinitely

The Knights of the Golden Circle could not
stand this damnabe plot, as general con
fagration of New York would have caused
their friends to lose more than they were
willing to sacrifice even..for the '' lost cause. !"
Blackburn went too far. He did not weigh
the matter in oil its bearings for had New
York been burned or the inhabitants there
of poisoned, or the yellow fever been intro
duced, the rebels would have suffered more
than they were willing to bear. If they
cleaned the city of their friends goods and
chattles, of course exposure ofthe plan would
have been the result---and the diabolical
work would have failed of success. Il Sac
