.fHBsBARimeRB CONVENTION,
.ssn.se,.l s y7s

~ To-day the elegant suites of rooms, de-
sscribed with SO much spirit by the Baltimore
papers, will be occupied by the big stars of
! the Democratic party, and the hotels and
3 boarding houses will swarm with delegates of
every degree of -notoriety, ranging from the
isuaye and oily Mr.. August Belmont, to the
fiery and inevitable Geo: Francis Train, del-
eegate from Nevada. The general opinion
seems to be that the white horse Horace
Greeley, entered by Cincinnati, will have it
All his own way and walk over the course
sAndathi universal impression accounts for
! any lack of excitement with regard to the re-
ssulE We deem it a misfortune that the in
decent haste, and the unadvised zeal of the
majority of the Democratic party, will have
the effect of defeating the great object of the
Convention, which is deliberation and con-
sultation as 10 the best and true interests of
the party; and render any other course than
the nomination of Mr.. Greeley nearly impos>
sible. Had the newspapers, and the promi-
nent members of the Democracy, been willing
to await calmly until the question could be
maturely considered in Convention, the re-
suit would have been different But from
the day of the Cincinnati nomination, an in
rconsiderate shout of enthusiasm has carried
away many; and abuse, threats and violence
have been made use of to silence the OPPOSE
tion of those who were not ready, at mo-
ments warning, and without consultation, to
accept as their standard bearer the former
leader of the Republican party. 1t is too late
now, however, for regret and although our
paper, in its clear and independent right, has
opposed the election of Mr.. Greeley SO long
as ne was merely the candidate of the Liberal
Republican party, it will as Democratic orr
gan endorse and Support him as soon as he
receives the nomination or support of the
General Democratic Convention, and not
before

Hen Who Are in Prison,

Among the political prisoners in the ALBANY
penitentiary, sentenced under the Infamous
Ku>klux law, is man by the name of Moore,
and this is his history, as he gave it in brief,
from his sick bed, to the editor of the Utica
Bee:
"l}efore the war I was we'll to>do PLANTER
in Alabama. I owned many slaves, which
constituted my wealth. The events of the
war reduced me nearly to poverty. At its
close J. gathered together the fragments Of nv
ruined estate. hired few of my former slaves
and commenced life anew. All went we'll
with nc until month or six weeks apo when
| was suspected of being Ku- KIux. arrested
by United States marshal, given hssty
trial, found guilty, sentenced, and two weeks
ago was brought from Washington to this
prison. My term is ten gears"
The editor of the Bee adds: 'tThe man
vowed upon his honor, and as he PRAYED that
it might be his death bed, that he was as in
nocent of the crime charged against him as I
was myself. He knew nothing whatever of
the Ku>Klux. | asked him if he had a
family. The mention OF family seemed to
paralyze him with grief. III sobbed bitterly.
and between the tears I heard him moan
ooh my poor little boy-my poor wife, I
fastened away, but, under the pretensc of fill
ing his kid with water, in half hour re-
turned. fIe was still lying on his narrow
bunk, and, clasping Bible in his hands.
seemed deeply interested in one of the plain,
tive Psalms of David

OF Q"td pro quo AS in the days of disfran>
ch!sement our esteemed Governor was one of
the few lawyers who demanded fees from poor
men for appearing in their behalf before
Boards of Registration. so in the days of Demo-
cpatic success, he seems determined to give
assurance that his fidelity as politician can
only be relied on, SO long as it brings sub
stantlal returns in the shape of honors and
emoluments.- Charleston Courier
That's SO, too Democratic lawyers from
Harrison and other counties were sent for to
go into Mr.. Jacobs own neighborhood and
defend Democrats who had been arraigned
before the Board of Registration, because Mr..
Jacob refused to appear in such cases without
the paymeD: of fee Wheeling Register.

WHO SIGNED THE PETIrIoN.-We are in
formed that petition of Democrats was sent
to Governor Jacob from this place, promising
their support to him. If petition of this
kind was in circulation, it was signed by such
''good Democrats" the Hon. VIM G. Brown,
who expect to ride into ice through the dis.
affection of the party. for the better class of
Democrats of the county have not seen any
such petition, aud if Governor Jacob places
any confidence in such "baubles light as air.
few rational moments will suffice to bring
remorse and confusion. a man who asks the
patronage of the Democratic party must take
other means than causing with the worst men
of the State, and boiling the fair Conventions
of her ablest advocates The radicals count
upon Preston as going for Jacob, as this
county was warm in his support before the
Convention, but we venture the assertion that
every true Democrat in the county will give
him wide, very wide berth.

DANIEL B. LUCAS, Eso,-The gentleman
whose name heads this article has been named
as a candidate for Congress in the End dis
trct through the columns of the Spirit of
Jefferson. For this piece, of what we sup
pose is considered, impertinence on the part
of Mr.. Lucas and his friends, the mud ma
chine" read by few, but yet of great preten>
sions, yclept the Era, has sought to cover him
with his filthy slime. Mr.. L. peeds no defense
at our hands, but we advise the sneak coadiu-
tors of Radicaiism to let him alone. The
name of Lucas aud their loyalty to the prin>
ciples of true Democracy are too we'll and
widely known to the people of this county, to
suffer at the hands of counterfeit dissemblers
whose malicious meddlesomeness has got to
be reeking stencil in the nostrils of all decent
men. Surely the frinds of Mr.. l.. had the
right to bring his name forward for that or
any other position they thought proper, with
out his being subjected to the fetid breath of
unjust defamation or the drurient criticism of
knayes and blatherskites.

A mad horse is not the easiest animel
in the world to handle. The Winona
Republican relates that Mr.. William
Richardson. Of that city, while harness
ing his stallion to buggy, was caught
savagely by the wrist and bitten by the
animal ina the most frightful manner.
The horse refused to let go his hold
until another, man was called to the
rescue, and who was also attacked. Mr..
Richardson came near being trampled to
death, and must lose his hand by ampu-
tation. His leftarm was also dislocated
both at the elbow and shoulder: The
horse heretofore has always beep kind
and manageable; and the owner thinks
that he m1stl'b have made some mistake
in his treatment of the'steed that day.
An exchange says: "They have man
