,DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE TO CON
-erf CIR ESS.


The Democracy of this District, at
their third Convention, held last We'd
nesday in Clyde, nominated E, F.
DIoKINsoN, Esq, of Fremont as their
candidate to Congresssri Mr.. NoBLE's
name was before the Convention and
ION the first ballot received nearly a
hundred votes, but was finally dropped.
Every county in the District except
Crawford, pretended to present a can
didate, but none Of them wanted II,
and the doubtful compliment was be-
slowed upon Sandusky county.
Mr.. Dickinson, who is thus, without
his own solicitation, brought forward
as victim, isa native of this county,
and is now about forty years of age
His father, RoDoLPHUs DIcK1EsoN, was
a prominent Democratic leader in this
State, and represented this District in
Congress about twenty years ago. We
believe he died in Washington. Eff.
DIckINsoE is at present Probate Judge
in this county, having been elected two
years ago. He is a man of ability, and
personally well liked by every body.
at the breaking out of the war, he en-
tered the three months service as a
lieutenant in the Eighth Ohio Infantry,
which regiment, however, was not
ordered out of the State during its three
months term. Lieutenant DICKINSON
re-enlisted with the regiment for three
years, and served creditably in the line
until his health failed, when he was
given the position Of quarteFmastsr,
in which capacity he served until the
expiration of his term of enlistment,
In Judge DIcKiNsoN's personal his
tory-remote and recent-there are
vulnerable points which can be attacked
with damaging effect to his political
prospects; but we do not feel called
upon to make that sort of warfare. He
stands no earthly chance OF being
elected to Congress, and is sensible
enough to know it.
In politics, he is Democrat because
his father was, and he votes that ticket
right along just as the Dutch in Penn
sylvania still go for Jackson. 1t is
peculiarity of that class of men that
they exercise judgment and reason in
everything save politics; when it
comes to that they vote the Democratic
ticket in opposition to their convictions
and in defiance of their judgment and
reason.
In this county, we doubt if Judge
DICKINSON will poll his party vote.
Many, even of his political and person
al friends, who would vote for him as
candidate for local office, for reasons
which are here well known, will not
vote for him as candidate to Congress.

A Genuine Nasbv.

The Philadelphia Bulletin saysi If any
body fancies that Petroleum Y. Nasty is a
highly exaggerated picture of certain phase
of Southern society, he may gain some en-
ightment from the following extract from a
letter Just received in this city from an in
telligent and devoted missionary now at
work in the dark places of Southwestern
Virginia
ITO give you an idea of the influences
with which have to contend, l will give an
instance. Very recently was endeavoring
to organize school at certain point lin a
church,, when the minister arose and Op-
posed it. Among other objections he urged
the one that if Sunday School was started,
the next thing would be a Temperance
Society 'and, said he, i can't get liquor
enough now. If could get dram every
time after preaching,i it would help my lungs!"

MAINE ELECTIoN.-The election in
Maine takes place next Tuesday. Last
year General Chamberlain's majority
for Governor was H. ,634. This year
the Republicans of Maine confidently
expect a Union gain, but how much
that gain will be, it is useless to predict
Unfulflled predictions do not form
pleasant reading for those who under
take to prophesy, as Democratic editors
can testify. We therefore generally
avoid predictions.
But all the signs and indications in
Maine are hopeful in the highest de-
gree.

Here, then, is the story OF . Radl-
can extravaganza" $5S5, ,468, ,427 of
the public revenue used in paying ex-
traordinary expenses growing out of
the rebellion. These are figures of
which Republicans may well be proud.
They shnW that the Government has
paid within three years over $500, Geo.
900, of the costs of the rebellion, be-
sides the interest on the public debt;
has maintained the necessary military
force Of the Southern States, has ex-
pended $4,000, 900 in feeding and
clothing the starving whites and blacks
left peniless and homeless by war; has
paid SO, 900, 900 for river and harbor i'm
provements; and during the same time
has reduced taxation over $4,000 900
per annum. This gigantic task has
been accomplished in the teeth of a
persistent and unscrupulOus opposition
from the Democracy, and worst of all,
the hostility of renegade President
who lent the patronage Of the Govern
ment to the basest uses, and protected
corruption and fraud in high places.
The Republican party is willing to stand
or fall by its financial record.

A fatal railroad accident occurred on We'd
nesday evening Of last week, near Russell,
Massachusetts,. A train of twelve stock
and freight cars became displaced from the
track, and were precipitated from wooden
bridge over a small brook tributary 10 the
Westfeld River, down into the rocky chasm
below. The bridge was completely twisted
from its fastenings at the abutments by the
cars. The accident was further increased
by an explosion in one of the oil cars,
which soon enveloped the rest of the train
in flames. The explosion was SO loud as to
be heard for miles around. The engineer,
Otis Taylor, and his comrades, who fortun-
ately escaped, imperilled their lives to
rescue those who were suffering in the
wreck and cOnfagration. Coroner Chees,
men, in endeaVoring to rescue his cousin,
Walter Bills, was severely burned. The
object Of his solicitude was beyond the
possibility of rescue, the explosion having
almost instantly killed him.

cucumbers. Fill the barrel full, putting salt
on top-cut wide board so as to fit inside

a stone on. which should weigh at least 25
pounds, SO as 10 keep the pickles always in

the barrels in the shade, and in four weeks
take off the stone and fill to the top, as they
will settle some. Put more salt on, head
