WILL TAKE Coon ADvICE.-One Oftllo
s,aunchest Democrats in this city who
listened patiently and attentively to
Sione,nan's larranguc ut the Court
House the other night, evidently WAS cdi-
fed by it. and honestly intends to act up
ou the advice given on that occasiOn;
hut in manner not contemplated by
tic speaker. Stoncman, in allusiOn TO
the Louisville Convention, repeated the
stale argument that it WAS inspired and
encouraged by Republicans, and therefore
should he Stunned by Democrats. In
this connection he introduced the old
adage, to tiss effect that the safe course
is always to refuse to do what your
enemy wants you to do, and eice versa,
and commended it to his Democratic
hearers as = good rule of action in the
present canvass. The old Democrat
aforesaid pondered on this advice, slept up
on it, and in the morning came out with
the following clear cut determination. He
said: Il have fully made up my mind
that SLOVENIAN is right,-Horsce Greeley
is my enemy; no has called me horse
thief,sa pimp, blackleg, . ruffian and
everything that is low and bad, and now
he comes round and wants me to vote
for him. But I'm going to act on Stone
mans advice, and just say to my old
enemy; I'll see you busted first"

were first made long ago in suit against

This suit of McComb sgainst the

SOME SToCK.-Our worthy Mayor who,
besides attending to his official duties,
drives quite spanking business in live
stock, informs us that within the past
twelve months he has bought and shipped
113 car loads Of hogs, besides handling
over 1000 head of beef cattle. The prospect
of good corn crop this fall has caused
q brisk demand for cattle for stall feed
ing, and nearly, If not quite, half Of Mr..
Jones' purchases in that line have been
made during the past two months, for
parties in Illinois

Bomberry, q resident Of Waterloo, were
found on the railroad, yesterday morning
near that city. The body was terribly

to pass from one car to another fell on
the tack.

SToNEMAN.-Hon.J John T. 6toneman,
Democratic candidate for Congress in
this District, who, il we may believe the
Democratic press, carries around with
him nine -tenths OF the virtue Of the par
ty, spoke in this city last week. His ad-
dress WAS nothing remarkable, save the i'm
passable gulf between its professions and
its performances. Mr.. Stoneman started
out with proflse expressions of desire
to be candid, courteous, truthful, and all
that; and in loss than ten minutes there
after gracefully slid into the well-worn
grooves of detraction, SANDER and mis-
representation pursued by every Demo-
cratic speaker who has yet addressed our
citizens. He repeated in oil its amplitude
the Credit Nobiler scandal, well knowing
that the parties accused had denounced
the charges - false. and in tho face Of
the dispatches of the very day he spoke,
which contained Oskes Ames' explicit
contradiction Of tho whole charge. He
further showed his own ignorance, or
mcudacity, by declaring that by the
schemes Of Ames and other Republican
members Of Congress, the Government
was forced to abandon ito first mortgage
