wEprint elsewhere a suggestion from
an esteemed correspondent, that our
District Convention ior the nomination
of a candidate for Congress be held at
Clarksburg the day before the holding
OF the State Convention. The PROPOSE
tion commends itself to us as good
one. These nominations and the choice
of a State ticket could scarcely be made
in one day, with due regard to that
dignity" which our respected friend
Of the Morgantown Post deems SO es-
sential part of the proceeding. The
trains from the east do not reach Clarks-
burg till about P. NJ, SO that the resi-
due of the one day would not suffice.
1.-THE other districts conclude to make
district nominations at Clarksburg, we
suggest like course. Can we not agree
in this district to make judicial and
Senatorial nominations at the same
time? Friends tn hroughout the district,
let US hear from you.

NEWS SUMMARY.
BY TELEGRAPH.


"A destructive fire occurred in AL
legheny Sunday, during which Sykes
Iannery was destroyed. Loss $5O, 600:
insurance SO, 900. About twenty men
were engaged in throwing leather out
of the third story, when couple OF bar
rels OF fish oil in the lower story took
fire and exploded, causing a panic
among the men, and several leaped
from the windows. Henry r. Kreiting
and Lewis Kroece were seriously in
iured. Six others were badly injured,
but will recover.
The Tribune's special says that
thirty-six counties of North Carolina
that have been heard from give the
Republicans 5000 majority The ma
jority in the First Congressional Dis
trict, Mr.. French's, is 6.000.. The Con-
stitution is undoubtedly ratified, and
the whole State ticket is elected by at
least 25, 900 majority. The Legislature
is largely Republican.
[ An Atlanta, Ga, special to The New
York Tribune says that semi-ofhcial
statements from 81 counties give 4,500
majority for the Constitution and 5000
majority for Bullock. Full official re-
turns will not be received before next
Friday: Judges who are thoroughly
competent to give an opinion now esti-
mate that the Constitution has been
carried by at least 1000 majority, and
that Bullock is chosen Governor by
5000. 1t is probable that a majority of
Democrats have been chosen to the
Legislature, but 1t remains TO be seen
whether enough OF them can take the
oath to make a quorum.
THE British troops in Abyssinn mia,
under Napier, have achieved great
victory. They have taken the fortress
Magdala, killed and wounded 2, 900 and
taken 1900 prisoners. Theodore him
self is among the killed. The captves
are released and on their way home.
The Erie Directors went to Boston
Saturday. 1t Is said the funds of the
Company in bank at Jersey City are SO
hypotheticated that they cannot be
drawn by Drew without the consent OF
the Board Of Directors.
Hon. Jonathan E. Field, brother OF
Cyrus, died suddenly on the 28d at
Stockbridge, Mass.

Rush County Democrats Rampant.

The Chairman of the Democratic Cen.
trail Committee of Rush county, aud the
publisher of the Jdcksoaian, were heard to
say, in a conversation on the street last
week, that Jcf Dauis Was the best man IN
The government, and that Republicans fiat.
tered themselves that our troubles we're
over, but that We we're just IN the midst of
them in this country. Another promi-
nent Democrat, one Samuel Mcbride, re-
marked, not long since, that JEFF Davis
,cas as loyal man as there ,oas IA the gou-
eTnment Quite number of Democrats,
as they left town on last Saturday night,
cheered Justify for jeff Davis. The same
spirit Of treason manifested during the
rebellion, is cropping out again at the be-
ginning Of this campaign, and we intend
that the people OF Rush county shall
know that they have to fight treason in
this campaign just as they did in 1864.
Soldiers, have you descended so low in
the scale of humanity that you will work
in politics with men who regard JEFF Da-
Wis, the arch traitor, as worthy of cheers
aud eulogies? Will you vote with men

Tributes 10 General Grant.

In letter to General Grant, just after
the latter had been appointed Lieutenant.
General, dated memphis, March TO-
1861" General Sherman wrote as follows;
IL believe you are as brave, patriotic
and just as the great prototype, Wash
ington--as unsel6sh, kind hearted aud
honest us man should be-but your chief
characteristic is the simple faiih in success
you have always manifested, which ] can
lken to nothing else than the simple faith
the Christian has in the Savior. This
faith gave you victory at Shiloh and
Vicksburg. Also when you have con-.
pleted your best preparations, you go into
battle without hesitation, as at Chattanoo.
ga-no doubts--no reverse-and l tell
you that il was this that made us act with
confidence. My only point Of doubt was
in your knowledge Of grand strategy and
Of books of science and history; but con-
Tess your common sense seems TO have
supplied all these"
General Halleck never liked General
Grant, but in his official report be said
concerning the Yickburg campaign:
ave can not but admire the skill aud
daring Of the commander. No more bril-
LIANT exploit can be found in military his
tory. * X 4. 1t is hardly necess-
ary 10 remark that General Grant never
disoLeyed un order or instruction, but al
ways carried out to the best OF his ability
every wish or suggestion made 10 him by
the Government"
On July 18th, 1863, President Lincoln
wrote to General Grant, from the White
House:
Il write this now as a greatful acknow-
ledgment Of the almost inestimable service
you have done the country"
Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1865-1872, 1868-07-31

The platform proposes to pay the Eve.
twenties in green backs; proposes to raise
the money for this purpose by taxation;
promises unsquisocally that the burden
Of taxation shall be lessened the credit of
the government made good; the currency
made good; and that that good currency
shall be the same for all classes, including
the bondholders. We do not regard these
several declarations as contradictory, but
40 mutually explanatory, perfectly consis-
tent, and harmonious. The Democratic
party is pledged by the platform to appre-
ciaie the greenbacks to par aud use them
for the payment Of that part of the public
debt which is not by express provision Of
law due in coin.
A Democratic ratification meeting was
held at Brooklyn, New York, on the night
Of the Esd, at which Samuel s. Cox made
the principal speech. On the question Of
money and the war debt he gave this view
of the platform, and of Mr.. seymour's
doctrine, which, ii will be seen, differs
radically from the Interpretation Of Mr..
Pendleton, who is trying to tar Mr.. Sey.
mour with the same brush that marked
him. Mr.. Cox said:
II should be paid BY an extension over
fair period Of time, according to the
letter aud spirit Of the laws under which
il was contracted" This is the Republi.
can platform. would Gas the Democrat
10 platform says) pay It 10 "lawful money"
Lawful money, to Democratic memory,
means something that chinks; and as that
part Of the debt about which there is
much useless logomachy in Congress,
and such lucid equivocation in both plat.
forms, is not likely to mature for some
time--I would not anticipate. Certainly
for its payment, as for other reasons, |
would never issue another dollar Of ire
deemable, debauching, elastic .greenback
currency. Moving on toward gold aud
silver as the standard Of all values, and ia
the interest Of labor and commerce, we
should do, as Horatio Seymour proposed
in his speech Of 18th March last, ode
mand policy Of peace, order and econo-
my. aud by gaining that, lift up tho
national credit, help the taxpayer, and
do justice to the bondholder, and thus
make our currency as good as sterling
coin" Thus would have one currency
for all, aud that currency that Of the
Constitution.

Heavy Bets on Grant.

The nominations of the New York Con-
vention have fallen like o wet blanket on
oil parts Of the country. 1t was expected
that Seymours nomination would create
some enthusiasm and con fdepee in New
York, but it has entirely failed to do so.
No well.informed person in any part Of
the country now believes that Seymour
aud Blair have any better chances Of sue
cess than had Mcclellan and Pendleton
this time four years ago. When observ-
ing men offer TO bet, and their offers are
not snapped up, the public readily gets
an impression which way the cat is going
to jump. Mr.. George Wilkes, in the
Spirit cfthe Times Of the last Issue, puts
out the following:
"a CHANCE TO MAKE SOME MONEY
GRANT VS.. SEYMOUR Of our per-
soaal friends among the Democracy in
formed us, while the National Convention
was in session, that they would be willing
to lay out littDs money with us, even up,
on the success Of the nominee Of that
Convention against General Grant. This
therefore, is TO say TO those gentlemen aud
all others similarly inclined, that we have
little money left, Notwithstanding our
impeachment losses, and stand ready TO
start anew with q few thousands on Gen.
eral Grant against Seymour for the next
Presidency. By~ay OF making distinct
offer, we will begin with five thousand
dollars. We will double this offer If re-
quirod. and 90 even little further, II
pressed bardl Who speaks?'
The offer has been before the public
several days, but no takers have appeared
The Tribune has the following:
ave happen TO know that Republic
can from another State, who was here
when Seymour was nominated, left ten
thousand dollars at the ST. Nicholas to
be invested on the election of Grant aud
Coliax, IL any Seymouri,e should have
equal faith in the success Of his ticket.
We have not yet heard Of any one going
for that money"

A Tribute to Gov. Baker.

When Gov. Baker was about to retire
from the chair as presiding officer of the
Senate to assume the duties of Governor,

thanks to the then Lieutenant Governor
for the faithful manner in which he had
performed his duties:
