We had the good fortune To have

We found business very dull in
Louisville, aud nothing doing to IN
terest the visitor. The convention
OF disappointed Democrats, under
the head of Blapton Duncan, to be
held next month in that place, Is
exciting 70 interest whatever, aud
the people look upon il as an ab-
normal affair that will produce nc
good or bad effect, being too veal
to be even respectable. The Indus.
trial Exposition Of louisville, u
commence on the 3D. of September
and close on the 9Th of October
promises to he one Of the grandest
affairs even held 10 the West. tn,
buildings are magnificent, having
been built 10 forty,iive days, anc
cover over .wo acres, and are ar.
ranged in perfect style. Every per.
son who can possibly be present
should attend, as It win be wortl
attention.
We have not talked politics
to any one that did not appear t.
hc Of the intelligent class, and o
this class we have heard u nunlbeI
Of opinions. In louisville we me
n number Of merchants from In
diana, aud we found n strong settled
opinion among them that their Stat,

Greeley. At Madison, Indiana,
place OF twelve thousand inhabitants
we stopped or and mnde an cfTor
to ascertain the political sentiment
We found that, although the court +,
had heretofore gone Republican, a
least fifty Of the leading Republican,
Ind joined the Groeley movement
and tina, the county ticket was made
up of Greeley Republicans anC
Democrats; that there was o
siderable enthusiasm for Greeley
and thnt there would be no doub
but that he would carry the count,
and district, which gave Grant
large majority in 1868. Senator.
Wilson aud Morton spoke ther,
yesterday, and the most desperate
effort is being made " the Radical
to carry the county for Grant
Leading citizens informed US tina
they had charged their views, an
that they were no longer Gran
men. In this place thcrei is a chang.
IN public sentiment, but to what ex
tent il Is hard to ascertain, thougI
Greeley stock is ut par. While "
have met with an earnest eSpressio
OF iavoritism for Greeley, we hay
found u strong feeling OF favor TO
Grant, and It is by no means a one
sided affair, and we would not Great
the impression that all of the Re
publieans are for Greeley, Tor it
not so By any means. We only nee
small dlsaifection in the Repul
lican party to defeat Grant.
We go IRON here to BaltmoT
and from there to Washington an
New York, and will write you agai
before our return home.
We find that the STAR Is not
stranger even this far away fro
home, but is well known and fir
quently quoted.
We are indebted to Capt. ia
Ferrier, general ticket agent of Il
United States mail line OF steamboat
from this place to Louisville, +
courtesies shown us. We found hi
an executor and a strong Greel'
man.
The Democrats and Greeley r
publicans ask very earnestly u
reason why Mississippi cannot
carried Tor Greeley. Will any
yopr readers answer? Very trul
