A TELEGRAM from Canton, Ill.

A telegram from Canton, Ill.,,
says The terrible pestilence
among the fish is spreading in
the Illinois river in this vicinity.
For a long distance the river
banks are covered with the
bodies of thousands of fish, de-
caying in the sun, and the stream
is full Of dead fish. River men
think this mortality was caused
by the burning Of three thOuS-
and barrels Of whisky in the
river during the great fire at
Peoria, which destroyed the
oxygen of the water so that the
inhabitants could not live.-
The water is impure and coy.
cred with a greay scum, and
the stencil is so great that fam
lilies living on the bank have
moved away, 1t is feared that
much sickness will follow. The
dead fish are too numerous to
bury, and the only thing to be
done is to use disinfectants. It

The tariff is always a live
question because its effects are
realized in the pocket. Our
farmers can hardly understand
why they SHOULD pay two pri-
ces for their agricultural imple-
ments, their clothing. their tea,
coffee, sugar and salt, and
almost every article of daily
consumption, for the purpose
of enriching New England
Manufactures. If the Govern.
ment got it there would be
some consolation, but the tariff
on most articles is so high that
they are not imported at all,
the Government gets nothing
and the amount of the tariff
goes into the pockets Of the
monopolists. But then it is of
a piece with all Radical legisla-
ton; it is for the benefit of the
rich, and-God help the poor !!

The National Convention to

held at Pixies Music Hall, Gin
cinnati, October 25th. The
Convention will be composed
of three delegates from each
Congressional district, six from
each State at large, three from
each Territory, and three from
the District Of Columbia, to be
appointed by the Governors Of
the States and Territories re.
spectively, and by the Mayor
Of the City of Washington. If
for any reason the Governor OF
any State or Territory shall fail
or refuse to appoint delegates,
the appointment shall be made
by q Convention called for that

7 There is great deal Of dis.
satisfaction expressed at the.
delay of Gen. Grant in pardon.
ing the Fenian ON ella de-
lay which is beginning to look
very much like a refusal
ON ellis management of the
Canada in vasion was almost
too ridiculous to be made the
basis of a serious prosecution;
and nothing now can restore to
him the respect of his former
friends, or put him again in a
position to be troublesome to-
any body, unless the President
is foolish enough to make a.
martyr of him by inaicting the
full term of Imprisonment fixed
by the Court. The law has
been sufficiently vindicated; the
duty of the Administration to
England has been more than
fully performed, and the coun-
try certainly owes nothing to
that power which should i'm
pei us to consult her wishes in
this case. 1t is to be hoped
Gen. Grant will find time,
among his multitudinous recre-
atory enJoyments to bestow a
merciful thought upon the
poor Fenians now sweltering
in jail for the crime of desir-
ing their country's freedom.

tious display of official purity
in driving from Congress one or
two small carpet-baggers for
bestowing cadetships in return
for presents but when asked to
strike at like offenders of a
loftier grade they have skulked
away, leaving corruption un-
disturbed in the high places of
the Government. They would
not even investigate the ques-
ton whether Gen. Grant had
appointed any Copperhead Ca
diets at the request Of A. T.
Stewart, and whether there
was any reason for such ap-
pointments, except that Stew
art had given Grant money.
They have refused to abolish
the odious and unconstitutional
income tax, and boast of their
skill in fance because, by keep
ing up war taxes in time Of
peace, they are able to bull the
stock market, and buy five
twenties at a premium.
When Congress is in session,
and engaged in maturing the
most important bills Of the
year, and when the lurid cloud
of an Indian war is rising on
the Western horizon, the Re
publican President runs hither
and thither over the country to
participate in small Publications
at the invitation of charlatans
and demagogues, to the neglect
Of the public business and the
disgrace of his Office.
1t is on such q record that
the Republican party propose
to 60 to the country in the
coming campaign for the choice
of the next House of Repre-,
sentatives. It will be a mar
vel if it is not very thoroughly
beaten.

The Coming ElectiOns-The
Issues Made Up.

That we'll known Republi-
can newspaper the New York
Sun, comments as follows upon
the coming elections
Congress and the Admins
tration are making up a record
which will insure success to the
House, provided the latter ex-
hibit good sense in their con,
duct Of the campaign. The
Democrats can present before
the people a fearfully long in-
dictment against the Republi-
cans for their sins Of omission
and commission since General
Grant took the oath of Office.
For example:
The Republicans, as a party,
have not shoNn the slightest
sympathy for the Cubans in
their struggle independence,
but, on the contrary, have
humbled our Government at
the feet of one of the weakest
and meanest despotisms in Eu-
rope, bartering human rights
for Spanish gold paid to the
son.in-law of one OF the Repub'
lican leaders.
They have done nothing to-
ward the settlement Of the AL,
ALBANIA claims, but, on the con-
trary, Senator Sumner some
time ago got off a string of rhet.
orical extravagances on that
subject at which England be-
came angry, and all the rest of
Europe made sport; while our
minister at the Court Of ST..
James seems to find time only
for dinners with aristocratic
lunkeys and drawing his salary.
They have made an ostenta-

The almond-eyed piig-tailers

Motley, whose fame was so
much enhanced in the eyes of
the Radicals by a mere attempt
to turn him out under John
sons administration, now los
ses all his reputation by being
turned out under Grants ad-

phancy never had a more stri-
king and absurd exhibition
than in the changed toned of
the Radical press about Mr..
Motley, now that he is out of
favor with Grant.

THE DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER

The political campaign is now open and is Of
such importance that every voter should be
fully Informed and posted as to the issues in

interest Of the Farmers and Working Men, we
will issue the DEM0CRATIo ENQUIRER for tn

Ten copies. Uhrcc mOnthS) and one copy

Twenty copies, (three mOnths) and one

VIC hope our friends all over the county will
take the matter in hand at once and get up
clubs, and put the ENQUIRER in the hands of
every voter in Vinton County, as well as in the
hands voters in other counties, of whatever
party.
To those who arc too poor to pay for the paper
during the Campaign, we will send itfree.

OF self-goverment; the rights Of the people;

nue laws; favOrs taxing the bonds; opposed to
the importation of cheap Niger and Chinese
labor, and favors the rights of curl labOring men

was doomed, j. Wilkes Booth,
and John P. Hale, called on
G.. w. Mclean of the Cincin.
natl Enquirer, who was then in
Washington. They wanted
Mclean to go with them to
find Col. j. w. Forney, and
with him in company call upon
Lincoln. Mclean was unusual
ly intimate with Lincoln, and
had more influence with him
than any other Western Dem
ocrat. Mclean was to vouch
for Booth, with Hale and For
ney, to join in asking executive
clemency for Beall."
The party at two o'clock in
the morning were driven to the
White House, admitted past
the guards, and conducted to
Mr.. T4incoln's private room.-
Booth and Hale explained the
object of the visit, to have the
President pardon Beall and
save his life.
Senator Hale asked the par
don of Beall as a favor to him
self and family Forney asked
for it on reasons then and there
given, as did Mclean. Booth
told the President of their
long established friendship
of his love for the brave, ad-
venturous spirit-of his love
for the young man who was do
ing for his people Of the South,
just what q patriot in the
North would have done for
the cause and the people dear
to him. President Lincoln was
greatly moved, and gave to
Booth his word of honor as a
man that Beall should be par
doned."
But the President, overawed
by Seward, and Others in the
Cabinet under the plea of mill,
tary necessity, broke his word
and faith, made in presence of
Booth, Hale, Forney, and Wash
Mclean, three of whom are
living witnesses and know
whether Unls statement IS true
or false. He withheld the
promised pardon and Beall was
executed on the gallows.
Thereupon Booth vowed to
avenge the death of his friend,
and the sequel is part and par.
eel Of the history Of the times.
If this theory of the case is
substantiated by the facts,-if
President Lincoln agreed to
pardon Beall and then refused
to stretch out the hand of mer-
cy-this may safely be accept
ed as the true motive which
inspired the assassination: And,
if this be proven, Lincoln was
the victim of his own plighted
but broken faith, and j. Wilkes
Booth, instead Of being a Juni-
us, was the avenger Of a private
friend and a common murderer.
