HON. d. W. VOORHEES,.

This gentleman was nominated for Con.
gre.s in his old district on the 18th inst
In accepting the nomination, Re made an
elaborate speech in which he expressed
his determination to support Greeley and
Brown and do all in his power to secure
their election.
The speech Of the Indiana orator was
digniHed and able, but it sounded like the
vail Of an unfortunate in pain and hopeless
misery. II will talk to you" he said to
the convention, "as if WAS seated at your
'hearthstones, and if the outside world is
listening, trust it will hear nothing Of
which we may hereafter be ashamed"
After this prelude the orator entered
upon discussion of national politics, and
came to the wise conclusion that it is the
duty of all patriotic Democrats TO bow TO
the decision Of the Baltimore convention
and support Greeley and Brown.
The conclusions arrived at by Mr.
VOORHEES, are, as we have indicated, wise
conclusions, but there runs through hi
address . vein of Bourbonism that viii
delight the men who cling with surprising
affection 10 the corpse Of dead issues. h,
cannot forget the past. He fingers over /
sadly, and would, If he could, invoke it
ghosts and horrible Nightmares TO plagu
US in the present. But let us not quarre
with his reasoning since it leads him int
the fellowship of the Democrats who stan,
to-day IN the van of events leading partie
into the discussion Of the vital issues of tn
time

DOUGHERTY'S BOLT.

TRE John Dougherty who bolted from
the Republican convention Of Union
county the other day and called conven-
ton Of his own, is Hon. John Dougherty
Lieutenant Governor Of Illinois. Mr..
Dougherty has Congressional aspirations,
and the convention Of his own county in.
structed against him and for Ike Glenn
menu. This insult angered the old hero,
and he proposes to appeal from . packed
caucus to the honest masses Of his party
We have applauded the course in Greeley
and other honest Republicans, and We
can't therefore withhold our applause from
Dougherty. We advise the Radical leaders
IL they know what is good for themselves
to placate the old man. He is suscepti.
bic to the soothing influences Of soft soap,
and the Radicals had better waste Q guam
tity Of that cheap material than suffer
defeat. The Governor will become tract
able IL be is handled with discretion.

LoNGFELLoWs INJURIES.

After the great race at Saratoga yes,er.
day, old Jehn Harper said, as his horse
wheeled to start in the race, he struck his
fore leg with his hind one on the heel, and
grabbed the plate, which nearly threw
LoI gfellow down, but seeing him run on
SO rapidly afterwards, without sho wing any
signs Of injury, he supposed that nothing
material had occurred. When the horse
stopped at the end Of the contest he WAS
very lame, and came near falling at every
step. As he hobbled to the stand and
thence to the stable, it was discovered that
his plate was doubled under the foot, that
his ankle was sprsined and the back sinew
broken. The horse had the mark Of the
hind foot on the quarter at the heel, one
inch and a quarter in length, enough to
have cut half Of the heel off, and the ankle
was swollen to an immense size. Long.
fellow would not put his foot to the ground
but held il up as If in great misery. The
muscles of the fore arm being in constant
agitation the horse, in the opinion of horse.
men, isirretrievably ruined as race horse,
and will never again be able to contend
on the turf.

WHAT WE DID SAY.

The Sun says Mr.. Oberly said in
speech at Centralia the other night that
there was an ignorant set Of negroes in
Cairo, but that Greeley would get half
their votes. We did say, in a speech at
Centralia made last week at Greeley and
Brown ratification meeting, that in Cairo,
IS we'll as elsewhere, the negroes were still
lsboring under the disadvantages of that
ignorance which slavery had imposed upon
them, and that, being thus ignorant, they
would not be reasoned with and were led
about by Radical politicians. We added,
that, when colored man become educated
he became liberal; that our observation
had led US to believe there was reason to
fear the effects Of the negro vote now, it
being cast at the dictation of bad white
men, but there was no doubt in our mind
that, when We had educated the negro,
Is we were in duty bound, the ballot in
his hand would not sndanger the liberties
OF the Republic, and we rejoced therefore
that the Democratic party, at Baltimore,
advancing with events had declared it
would defend the Fifteenth amendment
against asssult-that ever, for one, would
we, without protest, see the coored man de-
prived Of the ballot. We know that the
colored men Of Cairo-the great majority
Of them-do not read,-do not think
know absolutely nothing about the charac.
ter Of our government, aud are suscepti.
Die Of manipulation by designing Radical
politicians. We are aware of the fact
that the present generation of colored
men, as a mass, will vote against all the
principles OF government we believe vital
and be disturbing element in the Re.
public but, the Republic sinned against
hghi when it permitted slavery, and il
must now endure the penalty. 1t must
'uner patiently. In time all will be we'll

Running the Heels of Shoes Over.

MosT persons assume that when one
runs his boots or shoes over, he has
crooked feet which is exceedingly erro-
neous. The difficulty is not in the form
of ones feet, but in the incorrect shape
of the lasts over which the boots and
shoes were made. Awriter in an ex-
change states that a curious observer has
discovered that men and boys invariably
run the heels of their boots and shoes
over outwardly, while women and girls
always run theirs over inwardly. Out of
one hundred and forty seven men and
boys that passed the observer at given
point, this fact was true in every instance
and out OF sixty seven women that pass
ed, it was true in every instance but one
The foregoing observation proves moth
ing except that the boots and shoes of
men and boys are made over lasts more
crooked than their feet hence they run
their boots and shoes over outwar,lly.
On the contrary the shoes for females
were not made as crooked as the soles
should be; hence they run their shoes
over inwardly. Every person should pro-
cure pair of lasts of the same form as
his or her feet; and if their boots or shoes
be made over this, the heels will not run
over either outwardly or inwardly
If one has pair of lasts which do not
correspond exactly with the form of his
