Letter from DIayheId.-The SEM
atOriaa Race.

MAYFIELD, KY, Aug l, 1871.
DEAR COURIER II regret to an
nounce that our friend, and candidate for
the State Senate, Capt. VIM. G. Clark,
has met with a grievous affection. One
of his children, a beautiful little child of
four years, died yesterday, very sudden
~. It was sick only II hours, and is
to be buried to-day.
Clark and Hale closed the regular
canvass at Lynnville yesterday, where it
is said Clark made the most effective
speech of the canvass.
You ask me to obtain a fair, disinter-
ested statement of the election prospects
between Clark and Hale. l have just
had conversation with Major Cargill
one of Hale's strongest friends. He
says himself and most of Hale's friends
give this county to Clark, though they
hope something may happen to give it to
Hale. Clark's friends claim it by 300
though | will be satisfied 10 tie Hale. If
l were to write you the reports as many
leading men tell me, I would safely put
CLARK $ majority at 500. There are ID
voting precincts in this county, aud the
following estimate is given me by an old
resident who has had much to do with
county elections, and who will vote for
Hale, though he has no hope of his elee-
ton:

sf. LnuIs Exnress Rohherr.

On Tuesday, July 25th, D. w Sander,
messenger of the U. S. Express Com
pany in st. Louis, reported that while
he had gone up an alley to deliver a
bogus package to a fraudulent address,
w. w. Kendall the driver of the ex-
press, had been gagged and robbed by
two men. who made their escape with
about $4,000. The driver was found In
the wagon gagged and said that snuff
and pepper had been thrown in his eyes.
Two men were seen to escape from the
wagon, but close investigation leads to
the suspicion that it was job put up by
Sander, Kendall and two confedeIates.
Kendall is in the calsboose and Sander
is in the custody of the express agent,
aud the matter will be thoroughly inyes
tigated.
When Kendall was taken to the police
station has eyes showed no signs of hav-
ing had pepper or snuff thrown in them,
and gag in his mouth was so loosely ad
justed, that he could have pushed it out
with his tongue had he desired to do so.
Beside this. his hands were at no time
bound, and there was q pistol on the
wagon seat beside him, which be did not
attempt to use; Dor did he make any
demonstration calculated to attract at
tention ia the street while the safe was
being robbed.

EuIfOn Station.

While at Fulton Station last Saturday
we were pleased with the evidences of
prosperity going on there. When the
war closed there was but one business
house, now there are at least twenty.
Every branch of business is carried on
here. Carr & Eddings the Collins Bro,
Bolinger & Eddings, John Wyatt, etc,
are selling dry goods. Parker Il Albrit-
ten. aud Billy Selars and Bro, formerly
from May field, are selling family groceries.
They have a tailor shop, saddle shop,
blacksmith shop, carpenters, timers,
painters, etc, all of whom seem to be
doing a good business. They also have
fine hotel, kept by Z. VI Kennedy.

RroscrihlnE pemoerats.

We have heard some extreme men a
sert that they would vote for no Demo
Graf who favored negro testimony. These
gentlemen 90 SO far as to refuse to vote
for Leslie and Carlisle, because they de
elared themselves in favor of the propo
sitiou We deplere the violent and ez-
travagant feelings which lead 10 such
declarations, aud appeal to every patri-
otto impulse for more generous feelings.
No Democrat should be prescribed for
favoring or opposing such measures, be-
Cause no party principle is involved.
Again there is few who viii vote for
Leslie, Carlisle. Gleeson or Arnold, and
yet prescribe CLARK because of his posi-
ton, ,oben each of the above proclaim
daily their endorsement of tho same
position. Why prescribe Clark and
vote for Gleeson who holds precisely the
same views on the question? Why pro
scribe him, and vote for Arnold, who
holds the same Why prescribe him and
vote for Leslie and Carlisle, who hold
the same2
We regret that some have exhibited
an illiberal spirit towards CLARK. The
proud old democracy of Graves have
time and again endorsed him, and we
want no better endorsement. In the
last contest he made his home precinct,
where over 20o-Democratic votes were
cast, only -FOUR of his neighbors could
be induced to vote against him, and this
too when he was running against one Of
the strongest and most popular men in
The Purchase. When mans own
neighbors thus stand by him strangers
need net fear his good metal.

Let no trifing circumstance induce you

in Kentucky be of such magnitude as to

Leslie's Tour.

From The Paducah kentuckian.
have written you letters from the
different counties in the Purchase where
Governor Leslie has spoken. Every day
that he speaks large crowds of the rep
resentative men of the country come to
hear him and the effect of his speeches
is to fully arouse the Democracy. 1 have
heard the best stumpers in the South,
Clay, Jones, Prentiss and others, and
have never heard any man who held his
audience better than Leslie. His speech
es are full of instruction and not nearer
but is impressed with the truth of his
statements. His visit to the first dis
trict will be productive of great good.

It will be seen that Hale is given 100
majority in Mayfeld, but I doubt if he
carries it by so large vote. entertain
no doubt of the result in Graves.
We have not estimated in this count
the Radical vote, because no one knows
how it will be cast The Radicals poll
about 500 The impression is that they
will scatter according to their personal
feelings, but if they do vote for CLARK,
as the Columbus Dispatch claims, it will
swell his majority just 500 more.
If Clark's majority falls short Of the
table above, shall owe you a fine hat.
p. 81 have just met old man Bur
nett, who lives in the Potato patch in
Hickman county, and he says, Clark will
beat Hale to ! in his neighborhood.

Ninety seven bodies found, and still

two hundred MANNED, mutilated and
scalded, many of whom will die, while
many others will be cripples for life.
Such is the appalling resume of the ca
tastrophe in New York harbor last Sun
day. Civilization has its massacres as
well as the Chyennes and the Com
munists. The woes of Wyoming have
been the theme of painter and poet for
hundred years; but that dread 9th of

The senatorial Race.

Our information from this Senatorial
District is decidedly favorable to the fri
umphant election of Capt VIM. C. Clark.
His friends confidently expect to carry
each county in the District, but whether
their predictions shall prove true or not,
remains to be tested 1t is but justice to
say too, that Hale's friends are also con-
fdent of his election. Next Monday
will tell the tale We want the deliber-
ate unbiased Judgment of the people, uu-
Influenced by irrelevant prejudiees or
the personal exertions of partizan
friends.
The candidates are both worthy and
true gentlemen. and have visited each
and e9ery precinct in the three counties,

themselves then that they should be
judged, and not by reports which may
be jumped ilst 5eeye the election. We
