The next business was the nomina-
t1on of candidate for Prosecuting
Attorney. Stephen ID. Dial, of War
rick, and William Henpipg. of Perry,
were announced. Vanderburgh
County declined to vote. Mr. Dial
received the whole vote of Warrick
County, and four votes from Spencer.
Mr.. Henning received the balance,
and was declared duly nominated.
The committee on resolutions was
announced, when recess was taken
for an hour. This was practically an
adjournment. The entire committee
never met. Two or three members
afterwards fixed up two resolutions,
and reported to a bakers dozen to-
ward night, when they quietly dis
persed.
SIC transit gloria, dc.
From beginning to end the rallying
cry was opposition to the Democracy
of Vanderburgh County. The charge
was freely made that the county was
selfish and arrogant, and that the time
had come to give US a wholesome re-
| buke. Of course there was no truth
in the charge. for the men of brains
and recollection knew that the Demo-
Gratis of Evansville have asked no ia
voTs of the district or circuit for nearly
i ten years. It is true that Judge Par
rett's name was presented for Con-
Rressional nomination two years ago,
but not by Democrats from this county.
We have never attended Conven-
ton before where the delegates from
q particular county were treated so
cavalierly as in this instance. Thirty
FIVE hundred Democratic voters were
despised and spit upon, because they
saw fit to present the name of schol-
ar, a lawyer and a Democrat for a
judicial Office. and that man was
AFRO Dyer.
The two thirds rule was voted
down, lest 1t should operate IN Mr..
Dyer's favor, when the friends OF
Judge Laird had so managed as to
secure mcGe than two thirds of the
convention. Was this done for de-
liberate insult? The very men who
had been the loud-mouthed advocates
of the two-thirds rule, in other con-
ventions, repudiated that rule at
Rockport.
We must say just here that Judge
Laird has very warm and substantial
friends. We congratulate him upon
the friendship OF those who stick
closer than brother. Very few dis
interested men would pay the passage
of delegates to and from q convention,
in order to secure the nomination of
friend.
The ROckport Judicial convention.
called By our friend Jones, has passed
into history. We do not doubt that
its nominations afford perfect salts
faction in some quarters. Some very
hard things may be said about its ac-
ton, but 1t must be borne in mind
that it did the best it could. We de-
by most positively thatit was failure
we leave it to others to sly that it
was a splendid success.

That's rich, amt it? The truth is.
the whole Vanderburgh delegation
didn't cut much Of a figure in that
Convention. Some of the delegates,
we believe, actually deny being pres
ent at ell. 1t was not good day for
Vanderburgh delegates, and still
worse for Vanderburgh editors.
Laird, HenniDg and Jones was too
strong a team for Dyer, Parrett and
Whittlesey. The influence of the
former with the sterling Democracy
of the District could not be shaken
by the appeals of the latter. Mr.
Dyer started off in the campaign with
excellent prospects for the nomina-
ton. But, as our excellent friend
Aleck would suggest. they were grad
ually Whittlesied down until when
the Convention actually assembled he

intended to entirely overwhelm him
with surprise and confusion. On the

TORGAU, Prussia, July 19, 1870.
Here / am among the organizing la
bors of an army of about a million of
men of all arms, which began on the
fifteenth, and will be finished in all its
details on the twenty second. The
machinery is so complete that this
tremendous labor can scarcely be
perceived on the surface. Regiments,
brigades of infantry. cavalry, batter
les and pontoon trains appear as by
enchantment. The whole nation,
men, women and even children, appear
to be happy that the crisis has come
which, they think, will relieve them
from many evils. A quiet confidence
In themselves is prevailing, but no
boasting. Officers and civilians, /
have heard, discuss quietly the means
of victory, even should the first two
or three battles be lost. Now the
fruits of severe militery and civil
education Of the PIussians will. [ am
sure, show more brilliantly than in
1866, and after this murderous gam
bier, Louis Napoleon, called by the
Pope 1.-The most Christian Monarch, ("
shall have finished his abominabie
career, the time for reforms in Europe
will begin.
Is it not surprising that the decla-
ration of the infallibility of the Pope
and the declaration of war by Catho-
lie France against Prussia, the only
political and military power of Prot
estantism on the European Continent.
fall together? The political power
of the Catholic hierarchy will be
broken with the power of France.
A victory Of the Prussian and Ger
man armies will be just as we'll de-
feat of those dark powers in the Uni.
ted States, which try to ALLEVIATE our
Catholic fellow citizens from those
institutions which form the very ba-
sis of our republic. We can we'll say
that the battles gained on the Rhine
and at Paris. will save US so many
intestinal struggles in our own coun-
try.
It appears that public opinion in
the United States settles more and
more down to the conviction that their
only true, reliable, and materially and
Intellectually profitable ally in En-
rope, will be the German nation.
If this war should last longer than
three or four months, which can only
take place In case of one or more de-
feats of the German armies, il is very
probable that the United States will
interfere, or at least allow their Ger
man-Amerleau citizens to participate.
Then, what GeTman-American could

ton should I've crushed by the boast

We understand here that the least
the United States can do in the be-
ginning is to secure the freedom of
