1t is reported that the Democracy have
carried the state of Mississippi by the help
Of the negro voters, and the following adyer
tisement from the Port Gibson STANDARD
shows by what means this important con
test was won:
The Colored Democratic Club Of Port
Gibson, assisted BY their white friends, will
give grand barbecue at Port Gibson on
Saturday, June 10. The other.colore6 Dem.
ocratic clubs, and the white citizens OF the
county, as well as our friends in Jefferson

home, unconcious Of danger, the assassins
went to his house, called him to the door
and fired volly at him, killing him instant

These assassins are the terror of this entire
country. The life of no one who is suspect

One of the arguments used against Grants
election to the Presidency, is, that he smokes.
1t cannot be denied that Grant arrested the
eye Of the nation by his proclivity to smoke.
He smoked at Belmont, at Donaldson, and
at Pittsburgh Landing. He smoked furious,
ly at Chattanooga, at the Wilderness, and
at Spottsylvania, and kept it up all summer
until he reached Petersburg. He smoked
around Petersburg and Richmond for nine
months, and took Il final smoke with Gen.
Lee under the famous Appomattox apple
tree The old adage assures us that good
deal OF smoke must necessarily be accom-
panied by some fire; and it must be admit
ted that on all these occasions Grant did
much of his smoking under fire.

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CoNvEN
TION,

The Convention of Republican delegates
on Tuesday last, to nominate o candidate
for Congress in this district, member OF As
sembly and other county officers, was one
of the largest ever held in the county, and
in point Of intelligence, character and stand
ing, reflected the highest credit upon the
party. The delegates, themselves, had no
axes to grind, and were anxious only to
nominate ticket which at least deserved
success if they even should fail to obtain it,
and which few years more Of the progress
of intelligence will be certain to confer
upon tho party in this county.
The most prominent feature OF the Con-
vention was the nomination of candidate
for Congress, in this district. 1t was pretty
well understood, throughout the county,
that ]. B. Packer, Esq, Of this place, wns
the almost unanimous choice of the party
But Mr.. Packer, who ha9 no taste for the
contests and struggles for Office, was con,
strained to announce, week previous to the
delegate election, that hc would not offer
himself as a candidate. The delegates in
Convention, however, came to the conclu-
sion that he was the proper man for the
position, and without single dissenting
voice, nominated him by acclamation as our
candidate for Congress in this district. On
appearing before the Convention, Mr.. Packer
rendered his thanks for the honor conferred
upon him, and said he felt that he could not
decline nomination 80 unanimously con-
ferred.
There can be no question that Mr.. Packer
is the choice not only Of this county, bu! OF
large majority in this district. That Nor
thumberland county is fairly entitled to the
candidate, hardly admits of an argument
and when we present candidate, so unex'
ceptionable in every respect as Mr. Packer, il
seems almost incredible that any serious
opposition could be made. Our opponents
admit that if Mr.. Packer is nominated, there
is scarcely ray of hope left fo- their candi
date.
Mr. Fiske, our candidate for Assembly
did not seek for the nomination, and only
~ us u Vi buly. llC 10 pl
wellani fayorably known in this county, es
pecially in the Eastern end, that it is hardl.
necessary to say that all who know him con
cedc that no better selection could hav,
been made. Mr.. Fiske has long been thu
efficient Superintendent OF the Shamokir
Valley Railroad. lie is not holiday man
but q skillful and educated mechanic, whose
activity and Intelligence fits him for almost
any position.
Mr.. Sober, the candidate for District At
torney, is native of Shamokin township
He comes well recommended, and his quail
fcations will hardly be disputed by his
opponents.
Our candidate for Commissioner, Jos. NJ
Nesbit, of Chillisquaque, is a gentleman o.
character and intelligence, and one of tht
best business men in the county, and jus
such man as is wanted.

SOME of the Copperhcad papers are very
indignant that their friend Wooley has
been imprisoned for refusing to testify
where he got the money used for the bri-
berry of Senators on the impeachment of the
President. His guilt is not questioned, but
rs he is a Democrat, to be imprisoned by
Butler is SO great an outrage that our
neighbor of the Independent advises Weoley
to shoot Butler, ''let the consequence be
what they may" The editor, no doubt
thinks if all the rogues in the ranks of thu
Democracy were imprisoned the greatest
prop of the party would be gone.

An Elegant Wedding.

On Wednesday evening, IA inst
there occurred n Of the pleasantest
wedding parties that Old Warren ever
saw.
The occasion was the marriage OF
Miss Susie R., eldest daughter of Gen.
McLain, and Col. HenryG G. Stratton-
all of this city. The officiating cler-
gyman was the Rev. Howard w.
Stratton, who conducted the ceremony
in the beautiful and impressive service
of the Episcopal Church.
The Bridesmaids were Miss Ger
trude Taylor and Miss Flora Town
send. The Groomsmen were Lieut..
II. H. Townsend and Peter L. Webb,
Esq. The refreshments, which were
elegant and complete, were furnished
by Mr.. Henry Weisberger, the well
known Cleveland confectioner.
Over three hundred invitations had
been issued, and the spacious residence
of the brides father, on Mahoning
Avenue, was filled TO repletion with q
joyous throng of guests, who enjoyed
the festivities until a late hour.
The presents, which were superb
and numerous, and which seemed to
embrace everything from a silver nap
kin ring to a magnificent piano, testi-
fed to the popularity of the happy
couple. The exquisite manner in
which the various apartments were
decorated with e~vergreens and vari-
colored forest leaves betrayed the work
of the fair hands and cultivated tastes
of the numerous young friends of the
bride, under the supervision of Miss
Jennie Smith and Miss Lizzie Bald
win; whilst the elaborate arrange
ment of the Chinese lanterns amongst
the trees and shrubbery was due to the
efforts of Mr.. Thomas Kinsman.
The early morning train carried
away the gallant Colonel and his fail
bride upon their wedding tour. On
behalf of their numerous friends we
wish them a pleasant trip, a safe re-
turn, and unbounded connubial felici-
ty.
In the general rejoicing the printers
were not forgotten. A large and ele,
CANT cake was sent to this Office, and
our devil desires US to return thanks
for himself and the rest of the boys.
