portance, in order to secure the com>
plcte overthrow of the political party

most ruined us, that there should be
unity of action among tho Democratic
and Conservative party of the State In
those elections.
The Executive Committee appointed
by,the State Convention held in this city
on the 9th day of June, 1865, haVe'
therefore, for the purpose OF preserving
harmony in our ranks and promoting
unity of action in those elections resolv-
ed to call convention of the Democratic
and Conservative party OF the State to
assemble at the Capitol in this city on
Tuesday the 18th of September next Mt
IAN. for the purpose of nominating a

The war between France and Prus-
sia has actually begun. The Prussians
concentrated an Overwhelmingly SUI
Derior force, under command of the
Crown Prince, Q40.0O0 to $4,000 and
attacked Marshall MCMAHON, COM
mauder of corps of the French az
INV. 1t seems 10 have been a complete
surprise. The French fought desper-
ateIv. and although they wsrc driven
back bv superior numbers, they re-
treated in good order. Although the
defeat appears TO have made NAroLE-
on measy and Paris wild with excite
mcnt. the details furnished us so far OF

upon item TO send delegates to a Con-

not only send delegates to the Con-
vcntion. but send their best men.
Let the delegates be representative
men. in every sense of the word. The
only way to secure the nomination OF
q GOOD man for Governor is to let him
he chosen by the people. The peo-
plc ought TO take more interest in
these Nominating Conventions than
they do. because unless they do bad
men will rule them. Conventions
are powerful instruments for good or

which il shall be.
We earnestly appeal to the people OF
Maury to give attention to the subject
and at some early day hold meeting
and appoint a full delegation OF the
best citizens of our county.

OK MONDAY, the 9th instant, a State
election was held in Oregon for Governor,
Member of Congress, and 70: Members
of the Legislature. 1t was heralded by
the Republican press, in advance, as the
opening of the campaign of the Presden-
tial election in 1872, and the Radicals
seemed TO be willing and prepared to
stand or fall by the result. The Radical
papers, in turning their eyes westward to
the Pacific coast for relief, had forgotten
that the next Presidential campaign had
commenced in the east some time before
the Oregon election was held and imme-
diately after the fraudulent ratification Of
the 50 called fifteenth amendment. Con
necticut and New York-the latter State
most signally-had repudiated the admin
istration ard all its works. And now the
distant, but gallant and patriotic, State Of
Oregon has nobly responded to the verdict
Of her two Democratic sisters in the far
east. 1t is true, that like the sword wound
in AIercutios arm, the majority is ''neith-
er as deep as we'll nor as wide as a barn,
door," but it W i'll DO. Ii has resulted in
the choice of Democratic Governor, a
Member of Congress and a Democratic
majority on joint ballot in the Legislature,
thus securing the election of Democrat
to the United States Senate in place of
WILLIAMS one of the present Radical in
cumbents. That the people are sick and
disgusted with Radicalism generally, both
in the aggregate and in the detail, and
with the fifteenth amendment in particu>
lar. is becoming more and more evident
and that they are fully determined to
wrest from it the power which it so shame
lcssly and corruptly abuses, is a settled
and foregone conclusion.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. terrible ac-
cident occurred on Sunday morning last,
in Pine township, this county, which re-
suited in the death Of one lady and the
serious injury of several others. 1t seems
that Mrs James Steele, Mrs Hurts, Mrs.
Bechtell and Miss Bingaman were in a
spring wagon, and on their way to church
at Templeion. In going down hill, Miss
Bingaman, who was sitting on the front
seat with the driver, was by some means
thrown out, which frightened the horses
and the driver lost all control over them
Down the hill they dashed at fearful
rate of speed, finally uPsetting the wagon
and throwing the occupants in every di-
reclion. Mrs Steele had her collar bone
broken and was badly cut about the face.
Mrs. Hurts, jaw broken, scalp torn and
one foot mashed. This lady is not ex-
pected to live. Mrs. Bechtell, collar bone
broken, and her child was badly bruised
and cut. Miss Bingaman in falling out,
had her collar bone and two or three ribs
broken. Very soon after the accident,
messengers were dispatched to this place
for medical aid, and Drs. McCollogh,
Reynolds and Allison responded promptly
and Immediately repaired TO the scene of
disaster, and endered all the assistance
in their power. At last accounts all the
patients were as comfortable as could be
expected. Armstrong Republican.

That precious carpet-bag scamp, WHIT
TEMoKE, telegraphed last week to his spe-
cial friend and defender, BEN BUTLER,
that his negro constituents had reelected
him to Congress by more than eight thou
sand of majority, No sane man antici>
pated any different result. What capaci
ty have the ignorant negroes of his district
TO form a just estimate of the infamy Of
his offence? What do they know about
a West Point cadetship, or of its corrupt
sale How different was the fate OF
GoILODAY of Kentucky. He was guilty
of the same crime as WHTTEMoRE, and
like him resigned his seat in order to avoid
expulsion. He went back to his ,chae
constituents and demanded that they
should return him to the seat he had dis
graced. But they spurned him with
loathing and contempt.
Whether the Radical majority in Con-
gress will permi; WHIrrEMoRE to take his
seat, remains to be seen. They have
done worse things than that. His admis-
sion or rejection involves a great principle,
which, in the celebrated case of JOHN
WILKES, produced intense excitement in
England.
The New York Tribune opposes his
admission, and the chances are that he
wall not be permitted to enjoy Congression-
al honors and emoluments with his friend
and companion in infamy, RoDERIc RAN>
DOM BUTLER, of Tennessee. The re-elec-
tion Of WHrrrEMoRE, under all the Cir
cumstances of the case, establishes the
fact conclusively, that negroes are not fit
to exercise the right of suffrage.
