neatest printing offices IN the south
part of the State. It IS owned by

Mount Carmel is a lively place, and
although the times are hard, a great
deal Of business is transacted: The
people are jubilant over the prospect
of the early completion of Gen Burn

already beginning to put on city airs.
The Court House is an excellent

Enthusiastically supported in this coun-
ty. Prominent Republicans tell me
that no more popular ticket could
have been put in the field. The Re-
publicans are wide awake and fully
organized, having their Grant and
Colfax club meetings regularly. They
are proud of the work done at the
last town election, and have now set

seldom witnessed. IF the. enthusiasm

This county has formerly given a
Democratic majority, but the Repub-
licaBS are sanguine of redeeming it
this Fall. They propose to elect all
the county officers, and give a large

obey in his vote on impeachment. If
he will labor earnestly and faith
fully for the success of Grant and
Colfax, he will be forgiven for this
failure of. duty; but if he does not,

the hands of his former friends, and
General John A. Logan will be ele-

occupies. OF all the men who ever
figured in the political arena in South
Illinois, no one has ever proved to be
such a troublesome thorn in the

John A. Logan. He is to-day the
