az The Democratic Congressional con-
vention is called to meet at Mineral Point
September 21st.
The Democratic party has become pro-
verbal as party Of blunderers, and we
are compelled to say that of late, in local
politics, they have been very successful in
some Of their blunders.
A Democrat blundered into the tffice of
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in Iowa
county; one of them blundered into the
office of District Attorney, another into
the Office of Probate Judge, and, if few
of the Republican newspapers in this Con-
gressional district do not raise themselves
up to common-sense plane, it is not i'm
possible that some relentless Democrat
may blunder into the Congressional seat
and the franking privilege the present fall.
The Democrats are unlike Sampson,
whose strength lay in the length of his
hair. Their strength lies, both in the
length of somebody else's hair and the
quantity that is in their eyes.
Heretofore, the Democrats have sought
to divide the Republican party, and thus
build on their ruins; but oflate the party
is saving them that trouble by dividing
themselves. If such be the fate of the Re-
publican party in the approaching CAM
paign, the responsibility must rest upon
those who have devoted months of assidu-
Gus labor to the impolicy of traducing the
character and influence of men whose labor
in any joint action of the party might save
it from defeat, and lend it glory of tri-
umphant success. A word to the wise
(Which means the Repnblicans) is suffi-

Rumors of the War.

The news up to August 23d from the
seat of war, is reported after ten days
fighting near Metz, and a loss of 30, 900 by
the Prussians. These battles occurred as
the effect of an effort by General Bazaine
to get out of Metz, and restore bis commu-
nications with Paris, which, it is said, he
successfully accomplished at a great sac
rifice of the French, and terrible loss to
the Prussian my. The Prussians suft-
erng mostly from these engagements,
were the armies of King William and
SteinmetZ.
A large Prussan force is now between
Chalons and Paris, and the French army
at Paris, amounting to 250.0 600 men, in
Guiding the municipal guards, are actively
engaged in preparing Paris for siege, land
they are momentarily expecting the siege
to commence.
A French paper says: Preparations
for the combat continues all along the line.
Paris is virtually in a state of siege, and
every one accepts this part Of the situa-
ton. 1t is generally conceded that the
issue of the campaign will be decided I'M
der our walls. If we are able to hold out
for week, and we are able, against an en-
envy destitute of material for carrying on
siege, all France will come to the succor
of the capital and severely annoy its be-
siegers. As far as division in their ia
vor is concerned, they need not count up
on it, for at this time it would be difficult
to restrain the summary vengeance Of the
people on any individual convicted Of trea-
son.
IT visited, this morning, the line of for
tiHcations between Nevilles and Anteril.
The army Of workmcn. aided by the Garde
Mobile and men of all military classes, were
at work cutting down the trees of the
Bots de Boulogne as far as the lakes. The
bastons are supplied with. mortar batter
les. Cannon of very heavy calibre have
been mounted on the rampar is. Across
the road drawbridges have been
thrown. On the side of the city toward
Percy and Anterill, large number of
houses have been demolished. In short,
this part of Paris, once so beautiful, is en-
tircly unacceptable.
1t is reported that the armies of the
Prince Royal and Frederick Charles have
formed junction to the westward of Metz
and another of the series of heavy battles
will take place Immediately. Bazaine has
the northern route open to Paris for his
retreat, and feels confident of victory near
M etz, after which he expects to march on
the army of the Crown Prince and rescue
| Paris.
| The Emperor's headquarters are now al
Rheims, and McMahon's at Cerncelles.
A guerrilla warfare is being carried on
against the Prussians by the French citi-
zens in the vicinity of A!sacc and Lou
vraine, on account of the excessive de-
mands on the people for supplies. King
| William has issued a proclamation against
these guerrilas, informing them THAT
every individual not belonging to the
French army, Oh being taken in open hos
tility tothe Prussians, shall be shot"
1t is reported in a dispatch from Len
don, dated August %, that it is almost
certain an interpostion of the great pow
ers of Europe in the Franco-Prussian ques-
ton will take place within a few days.

publican Committee will be found on the
9TH page of to-day's paper. 1t is an inter
esting production, being full of encourage
ment to all who have worked aud are now
working in the great cause of human free

TIE WRONG KEY.

The New York World thinks that, in
constructing Democratic platforms, 'tho
tune should be pitched on low key" The
Cincinnati Enquirer insists that, ION the
contrary, it should be pitched on high
key" For the last fifteen years it has
bccu pitched on darkey, aud the Democ.
racy hero insist in playing on that key
probably because they don't understand
any other" This is altogether a mistake;
they have always displayed asublimc sus-
eOpibility for whis.koy.

JUDGE BONDS DRCIsION-A DEN.
OcRATlC ENDORSEMENT or IT.

JUDGE BONDS DRCIs10N-A DEN.
OCRATIC ENDORSEMENT OF IT.
The Baltimore san, Democratic paper,
but a fair one, makes this statement in re-
gard to Judge Bonds decision on the en-
foreomoht act and the West Virginia Reg
is.ry law. After remarking that the
Judges decision was in exact accordance
with tho instructions already issued from
the Attorney Generals Office, in regard to
tho prosecution Of State officers under the
enforcement! law, the san says
The Judge has decided that tho only
cases within the puryiew Of the law. or tho
particular section Of it in question, arc CO.
ses where the refusal to register is ION ac-
count Of race, color or previous condition
Of servitude." A registrar refusing upon
any such ground to register voter, 10Th
crwise qualified" may be prosecuted I'M
der the law. The mistake committed by
the citizen who had this West Virginia
Registrar arrested was in supposing that it
was passed FOR the benefit Of all. The act
was passed in aid Of the fifteenth amend
ment. That amendment only enfran-
cbised colored men. When Congress
passed the law in question they were
not thinking Of white men, except so far
as they were liable to punishment for
interfering With the political privileges Of
the ColOred man. All this Judge Bond
has now made perfectly clear to those to
whom it was not clear enough before. II,
by the election laws Of any State, injustice
is done to any portion Of the white citizens
of that State, to their own State they must
look for redress. Congress only concerns
itselfto the remedy the injustice to which
It conceived the newly enfranchised class
Of colored voters might be exposed. That
was the whole intention of Congress and
the act.

am informed that ono Geo. P. Simp-
son, requested the Registrar of WaggOnCr
Township. to sit one day at Mason City,
to enable those to register who had not
time to go down to West Columbia; aud
told the Registrar that be would pay him
for his time, if he would go up to Mason.
The Registrar went to Mason. Geo. p,
Simpson collected from his brother Demo-
Gratis to pay tho Registrar, and Dem
ocrat at Clifton, paid so cents into that
fund, with,tho understanding that GER
tain negro should be registered and indu-
enced to vote the Democratic ticket; but it
he would not do SO, then the money was to
be refunded. But Perry true to Demo-
cratic principles and the precedent ostab-
lishCd by his party, pockoted the funds so
collected, aud has not puid the Registrar
one cent, at the present writing.
