The special province of this close
corporation of Democrats is to
make the party respectable, and sup
plant the old scalawag leaders. But
it, in addition to this commendable
work, proposes to attend TO the inter
esting little duty of providing respect
able candidates for the commoa mass
es of the Democracy. We have long
claimed that the party was not as de-
cent as it might be, aud have been
enieavoring to show the public that
it needed publication. We are re-
joiced to know that a portion of the
Democracy are at last awake to the i'm
portance of this work. The CREs-
CENT CLUB" is eminently appropriate
to the times, and we wish it the great
est success in its first and principal
object-respectabjlity.

AFFRAY ON SECOND SrREET.-A
row took place on Second Street last
evening between Hank Brooklocker
and Jack Hitch. It appears that
Hitch, according to Brooklocker's
statement, had beaten Hanks wife,
and that Brooklocker had vowed re-
venge. On meeting Hitch on Second
Street, in front of John Raschs shoe
store, Brooklocker at once collared
him, and drawing a navy revolver
attempted to fire, but the revolver
snapped, and Hitch escaped unhurt.
The police were in search of the par
ties late last night, but whether they
succeeded in finding them we did not
learn.

kID-GLOVED DEMOCRACY. - The
Vanderburgh Democracy have at last
found out what is the matter with the
party. 1t needs to be made more
respectable" To this end, we notice
this morning the organization of the
Crescent Club" In looking over
the list. it is true there are none of
the hard-working German or Irish
Democracy, but they are not wanted
in the effort to make the party re-
respectable" La examining the list.
it will be seen that it possesses in an
eminent degree the qualities of " re-
spectability." All Of the gentlemen,
upon occasion, wear broadcloth, and
circulate in good society" many Of
them sport gold headed canes, dangle
gold watch chains, sparkle with dia-
mond pins, and are not unacquainted
with the charms of Alexandra kid
gloves. In fact, we can conceive of
only one essential wanting to make
them in every respect and altogether
respectable, md that is correct pohti-
cal principles. Butte without that
they may improve the standing of the
Democracy of Yanderburgh. ITe hope
they may.o8H eHt l0 uHa

The river continued to rise steadily,
and rather rapidly yesterday after
noon and evening. The general opin-
ion among steamboatmen is that we
are to have no dead low water
this season. Last year, however, the
lowest water we had was in Septem-
Der and October. The rains of the
last few weeks have, however, been
very heavy, and more general than
during any Summer for several years,
which will have strong tendency to
keep the river up.........We had
nice little shower yesterday after
noon, and at 10 O'Clock last night
nice rain set in, which had the ap-
pearance of continuing all night........
The additional arrivals and departures

Maxine If Rrse9oFAHLH.-A self
constituted body OF Democrats, kind
of New York Tammaiy Society on a
small scale, mas beon organized In
this city with the avo&ed purpose of
making the party more respectable"
1t is claimed by these gentlemen that
the party has been so long under the
control Of certain disreputable pro-
fessional politicians that the people
have lost confidence in it, aud that
good citizens are ashamed of it. One
of the leading members of this new
Tammany" Society declared it to
be their first object to make it re-
spectacle" and get it out of the hands
of the beer-drinking saloon politi-
clans.
The first step in this direction was
an effort to remove Postmaster Whit
tlesey from the chairmansh'p OF the
District Central Committee; bat fail
ing in that, they took their revenge Ia
procuring the omission OF the ost-
master and few other familiar names
from the County Central Committee.
The spirit of the new Society was
further evinced in SUNNI lrily squelch-
ing Messrs. Stackhouse, Scantlin, and
others at the Third Ward meeting
last week.
A regular organization of these
" Tammany men has been effected
under the name OF the CRESCENT
CLUE with a full list of officials
and we'll creased system of political
machinery. 1t circulates among the
"elect scrupulously neat and orna-

lowing caption:

of Vincennes, the Democratic Dis
trict Elector, inviting him to a joint
discussion, suggesting two speeches in
every county of the District Mr..
Cobb, after some delay, has accepted
the challenge, aud asked Major Rob-
inson to meet him at Vincennes to
arrange the appointments. The Major,
with characteristic promptness, left on
the train yesterday for Vincennes.
This joint debate promises to be an
interesting one, aud will doubtless
draw out large crowds.
