Painful accident,

We regret to record a painful
accident TO Jas. Y. Harrison, Esq,
now attending our Circuit Court
Yesterday morning the Bar adjourn
ed to take a little recreation or the

ing ON the side of the bluff near
Lovers Leap in search Of iosseIS ;
something attracted his attention
on the bank and catching hold OF 4
limb he bent forward to pick 1t up
In so doing. he detached n large
mass of rock and fell down the bIuti,
the rock following him and falling
on him. inhicting a very serious IN
Jury. One of his fingers was bro
ken and his foot SO badly injured by
the bruises and 3 compound trac
ture that an a%mputation of one 0
more Of his toes has become neces
sarv. We hope no unfavorable no
suits will follow the operation, ant
that he will soon be able to resum'
his duties.

A Som erset Democrat Declares
for Grant.

The following letter from Joel Colby, Esq,
of Bingham, one Of the most influential men
in the northern part of Somerset county, is
published in the Somerset Reporter. Mr..
Colby was war democrat and has represent
ed his town in the Legislature. He has also
been a candidate for Senator on the Demo-
cratic ticket several times. Few men have
more influence in Somerset County, and there
is not member Of the Democratic party the
loss Of whom will be more keenly felt. The
Republicans of Somerset can richly afford to
get rid of the few office-huuting men who
have gone over to the Democracy to secure
such men as Joel Colby:
BINGHAM, Aug. 18th, 1872.
GEN. r. B. SHEPHERD, SkowheKan.
DEAR SIR In answer to your inquiries, l
will say, have not invested in ''Greeley
stock" and do not see any reason why l
should. l am afraid to invest in that stock,
because it takes in all the rebel element which
sought the very life of the Government, and
which was put down at the sacrifice of so
many valuable lives and so much treasure. l
cannot see why the country, to-day, financial
ly, is not in prosperous condition. The
national debt Is being reduced, business is
good, the laboring man was never better paid
for his labor than at the present time, and all
the necessaries of life are now at very fair
prices.
l cannot see any good in change of Ad-
ministration at this time, but fear much evil.
prefer that the party now in power should
continue so another four years at least. Many
of my democratic brethren here are feeling
as DO, and am very much mistaken if they
do not with me vote for the conqueror of the
rebellion this fall
Truly, your Obd't Serv't,
j. CoLpY.

B. f. Parks VS.. Lyman Trumb b.
bull.

There has previously been published a brief
reference to the dedication of q Wigwam, at
Ell Paso, Woodford County ILL.,, at which
Hon, B. F. Parks, during an able speech in
favor of Grant and Wilson, drew picture of
the political peculiarities of Lyman Trum-
bull, which has been pronounced a striking
likeness, in fact fully as good as an ambro-
type. He said, in regard to Mr.. Trumbull,
as follows:
"But they say there is a man by the name
Of Trumbull. The Tammany ring and the
Wabash gang have sent the Democracy into
bankruptcy, and Lyman Trumbull is its self
appointed assignee. He is the self-constitu-
ted collector of its assets, and proposes to
make pro rata division of its estate. Ordina-
rily, the creditors--in this case we, the rank
and file of the Democracy, the cestui que
trusts-have right to select our own assign
ee, but that 10 denied us. Who is Lyman
| Trumbull? l have got here little book.
want to read from it? Let me read what
Douglass says. In a book entitled: The Po-
litical Debates of Hon. Abraham Lincoln
md Hon. Stephen A. Douglass, published
by Folettt, Foster & Co., at Columbus, Ohio,
in 1860, at page 60, occurs the following:
| 'Trumbull, too, was one of our own con-
| LeIupUIdTlcS. nc was DOTu anu Ialseu AL Oiu
Connecticut, was bred a frederalst, but re-
moving to Georgia, turned nullifier, when
notification was popular, and as soon as he
disposed of his clocks and wound up his bus
mess, migrated to Illinois, Wrned politician
and lawyer here. and made his appearance in
lS41 as a member of the L. gislature. He be-
came noted as the author of the scheme to re-
pudiate large portion of the State debt Of
Illinois, which, if successful, would have
brought infamy upon the fair escutcheon Of
our glorious State. The odium attached to
that measure consigned him to oblivion for a
time. l helped to do it. l walked into a
public meeting in the Hall of Representatives.
and replied to his repudiating speeches, and
resolutions were carried over his
head denouncing reputation, and assert
ing the moral and legal obligation of Illinois
to pay every dollar of the debt she owed, and
every bond that bore her seal. Trumbull's
malignity has followed me since l thus de-
feated his infamous scheme
This was in the debate of Aug. 81, 1858,
at Ottawa. What have read is what Doug
las then said of him. That was his opinion
of Trumbull"

The Democracy and the South.

In last weeks Christian Union Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher considers the attitude of the
democratic party toward the South especially
as affecting the colored citizens, in an article
from which we quote the following para
graphs:
The Democrat pledge to let the consiitu-
tional amendments alone does not meet the
case. The danger of the colored people has
been and Is, not oppression by law so much
as oppression without law. Their legal sta
tus as voters has long been practically estab-
lished; we owe little more TO the democracy
for voting that they will not interfere with
that, than for voting that secession must not
be attempted, or that Gravitation shall not be
intertered with. What we DO wan. is prac-
teal guarantees that school teachers OF me-
groes shall not be whipped and murdered;
that terrorism supported bv occasional yio-
lence shall not keep them i'll virtual sert,iom.
That the South is in general more lawless
and violent than the North; that the lower
class of whites are i'll disposed toward the
negroes that their hostility tends to express
itself in acts-this state of things alone would
not involve all the evil We apprehend. The
additional and worst feature is that the better
class Of whites, the respectable, law abiding
men on whom in general the order of the
community depends, are indifferent and in.
credulous as to the persecution of the ne
groes. 1t is in view of this state OF things
that we are unwilling to entrust the central
Government to party of which the great
mass are simply tolerant of the negros legal
equality, as a fixed fact, and have no heart
i'll making that equality practical reality.
We may be asked if we like interference
on the part of Congress and the President to
repress outrages like those of the ku-klux.
Mono more than we like bitter medicine.
But we would rather have the medicine than
the disease. Further, in the event of Gen.
Grants reelection, we do not look for much
such interference. If the republican party
triumphs, there will be little need of it, The
simple fact that the Government stands as
the avowed friend of the black man, and his
protector if necessary, will itself be the best
protection. But should Mr.. Greeley be elect
ed, we believe the result would be accepted
however contrary to his own wishes-by the
lower element in the Southern white popula.
ton, as a signal of that 'freeing of the white
man." which to their mind means inferority
of the negro. The new President would
cone into office with his hands tied by his
new party associations. And the democratic
nine tenths of that party, though they may
accept negro equality as fact in the statute
book, have anythieg but zeal toward making
IL a fact on the soil"
