Candidate for Prosecuting Attor-

4
We have several times, through this
paper. spoken of Col. S. ii. Taylor. of
Washington, as candidate for this posi-
|tion, and judging from indications, we
are inclined to think Col. Taylor will
have clear field. as we have heard OF
mo opposition to him. 1t is hardly ncc-
essary TO sound the praises Of Sam. Tay-
lor, as he is well known to every man
in the county. having been Prosecutor of
the Common Pleas Court four wears. and
possessing an extensive personal ac-
Iquaintance in all sections of our county.
Col. Taylor is possessed of fine legal
qualifications, and is endorsed by nearly
Iall the lawyers of this city. He has to
ian eminent degree those social qualities
which render a man popular with the
masses. and we see no reason why such
IA man should not be selected for the no
Isition. So far we have heard of no OBJ
lection to him in this county, and we
have taken pains to inquire, and find the
sentiments of the people on this subject,
and the universal expression is that the
vote OF Knox county, in convention,
should be cast for Col. TAYLOR. We be-
licve he will make an efficient official.
and we would be glad to see the nomi-
nation conferred on so worthy gentle
Sun.

POLITICAL L

So far as Pennsylvania is concerned, we
believe she will be able to give a good ac-
count of herself as usual. We have Just
cast in Philadelphia forty thousand votes at
a mere Republican primary election, and at
the regular election in November we fully
expect to be able to poll seventy thousand.
We shall in October speak out in such a
manne that New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut will be inspired to compete
with us in November. The defections in
our ranks are so few and feeble as to at
tract but little attention.-PhI. North
american.
Thus the division is sharp and unmis-
taxable. IF we look to personal fitness,
we find Grant the superior of Greeley. If
we look for the assurance of a steady and
prudent administration, We find it in Grant
and not in Greeley. If we look to the ele-
ments which constitute their support and
shape the tendency of their rule, we find
behind Grant those which have saved the
country, and behind Greeley those which
have sought to destroy it.
If we look to the consequences they pre-
sage, we find Grants election making Sc
cure all that we have won, and giving the
best promise of all that we desire, while
Greeley's would bring the enemies of the
nation to power and threaten the gravest
perils. Can candid, reasoning men hesi-
tate which to choose ?--Albany Journal.
It is sad, very sad, to think that some
Of the anti-Grceley Democrats in the South
will go over to Grant. These gentlemen
are distinguished, and ordinarily influential,
but we hope they will desist. They have
high, bright, prominent names in the
state. They are good and true men. They
are shining jewels in the Old Dominion's
casket. We appeal to them to stand by
their state. Wherever they 60 we shall
respect them and admire them. But for
the sake of themselves, and old Virginia,
we implore them to support the supporters
of the Cincinnati and Baltimore nomina-
tions.-NOrf0M Journal.

LOCAL MATTERS.

The GRAND RALLY IN PETERSBURG.
The Republican torch-light procession and
mass meeting in Petersburg last night, was
a highly successful affair. 1t was the gran
dest political demonstration ever witnessed
in the Cokadc city since the war. The line
of the procession embraced over a thousand
bona fde Republican voters, and the streets
and sidewalks were crowded with specta-
tors of both sexes and all ages. Innumer-
able torches blazed along the whole line of
the procession, and rockets and other fire.
works filled the air with light. % H"
s The march was enlivened by music. The
procession made an orderly but enthusiasts
tic march through the principal streets of
the city, and finally halted at the court
house. N ..."3'f no.
Here the crowd was immense. The num-
Der of people co%ngregated was reckoned at
from four to five thousand. The meeting
was organized by the election Of P. G.
Morgan, of Petersburg, as chairman, and
was addressed in turn by Colonel John w.
Jenkins, John w. b. Mathews, W. N.
Stevens, Hon. j. Ii. Plat, Joe Cox, Hon.
W. II. II. Stowell, p. G. Morgan, Rams
dell, of Surry, and Mr.. Fuller.
The speakers were most happy in their
efforts, each being received with rounds of
applause, All were enthusiastic in their
endorsement of Grant and Wilson as our
Presidential nominees, and of Mr.. Stowell
as the Republican standard-bearer in the
Fourth Congressional district and when
the sense of the large meeting was called
for in this regard, the vote in the affirma-
tive was all but unanimous. The meeting
was eminently satisfactory to all present,
and gave renewed assurances that the Re-
publican ranks of Petersburg are still un-
broken, that the bolts of disappointed poll
ticians can not effect a breach in them,
and that the party there will do its whole
duty in the coming Presidential and Con-
greSsional election. ...-.
Owing to the large number of speakers,
and the great excitement of the occasion,
the meeting did not adjourn until a late or
rather an early hour, it being near two
o'clock this morning when an adjournment
was carried.

ALL RAIL.-We have had all rail to
Washington for several weeks, but so far
as we can learn no trains have yet been run
on the route. The delay is unaccountable,
and has occasioned great disappointment
and annoyance to the travelling public, who
have watched the bodybuilding operations
with so much interest. We have heard it
stated that the cause of the delay in making
the through connection is the inability of
the parties interested to arrive at a s~atisfac-
tory basis for the transportation of passen-
gers from Broad street in this city to Byrd
street depot. We do not know whether
this is the true reason or not. Whatever
the cause may be, we hope, as do the pub
lie generally, that it will be speedily re-
moved, and the quickest time possible es-
tablished between Richmond and the nation
al capital. 1t is an important link in a great
chain of communication, and no trivial mat
ter should delay its operations for a single
day. And we trust that in the arrange
mcnt of the schedule of time, Richmond
may have the benefit of an earlier day mail
train from the North. We see it stated in
the Fredericksburg Ledger that through
trains will probably be run on and after
Thursday night, and VIC have heard it
stated that the first train would leave on
Wednesday night.

NEW YORK.
The New York Press on the Stokes

ia s"C 1EIul.
NeD York, July 15.-The press of this
city comment upon the result in the
Stokes case. The Express calls it a farce
and a contemnt for common sense. Here
after, it says, murder is no crime but q
little trial and a disagreement at first, and
finally an acquittal. 0
The Commercial Advertiser blames the
law which allows no intermediate verdict
between murder in the first degree and
manslaughter in the third degree.
The Post says WI are nearing, if we have
not already reached, that point where taking
of life is not to be considered murder, ex-
cept in cases of vulgar burglars, who have
trespassed upon the rights of property and
sacrificed life.
Blanton Duncan in n New KsIe-Stirring up

NeW York, July 15.-Blanton Duncan,

ing that a labor union convention be held
in Louisville N the Sd of September, to
see whether there cannot be a common ba-
sis of action against the m%onopolists and
sportsmen in the two Radical parties.
To this, Day replies that while he is not
authorized to bind the labor organization,
such of its members as he has conferred
with unite with him in the Importance of
the joint action of all parties against what
Day also terms m~onopolists and sportmen.
He complains that the working people have
no recognition in the platform of either,
and agrees to do all in his power at the con-
vention of July 30th, as to bring about
such a union of parties as Duncan sug-
gests. -.

AFTER THE SpoILs.-The rumor that
our Democratic friends are already looking
with longing eyes upon the government
offices in this city, and have gone SO far as
to apportion them out among the politicians
to be confirmed by Mr.. Greeley when he is
elected, strikes us with.astonishment. We
thought revenue and custom offices were
all to be abolished in the event of Demo-
cratic success. We had not dreamed that
a Democrat could be found willing to be-
come a ''tyrannical revenue officer, whose
mission is, according TO Democratic athori-
ty, to Cypress the people of the South.
