North Carolina at Louisville

We have had occasion before to refer to
our total ignorance of the so-called North
Carolina delegates to the late Louisville

to the Louisville C0urier-JO,TnaI, informs
the public of the personal and political

judge, to stop to inquire. Mr.. Davidson

MOb-Law i'm the West-A Town Set ON
Fire.

On Thursday night G. ]. Dieffenbacher
shot and killed a man named Melsted at
Virginia, Cass county, Ill. On Saturday
night mob attacked the Jail in Blards-
town, where Dieffenbacher was confined,
with the aVowed purpose of hanging him.
The Jail was well guarded and the mob
was repulsed. In revenge the outlaws set
fire to the town, and before the flames
could be extinguished an entire block of
buildings in the place was destroyed. The
excitement in the village is intense, and
more trouble is anticipated.

The home of Democrats dissatisfied with
the Baltimore nominations seemed to be
IN Mercer county. AS many Us three hun
dred were found there In the earlier part of
the canvass, but diligent Oriiing with them
has reduced this number fully one-half
with a decidedly wavering disposition in
the balance. Trenton reported at first
quite number of straight cutters, but they
have now been reduced to very unimpor-
tant element Of the canvass. The reports
from Salem county were most satisfactory.
This is the centre of Repub!icanism, and
has always been so conceded. 1t is now
so largely liberal that, with the assistance
OF the Democrats, who accept the situation
without exception, that district will be rep
resented by either Liberal or a Democr;
in the next Congress.
Hudson county reports that 05 per
cent of the Democrats accept the situation,
and the liberals will POLL twelve per cent OF
the republican vote. With satisfactory
nomination this will insure an opposition
victory of between three and four hundred.
These counties comprise the stronghold Of
the administratiOnists, and so good an &C
count from the State is thought to indicate
a triumph to Incorporation in November

Good News from Indiana, PennSyk

WASHINGTON, September GA letter
has been received in this city from distin
gllshed citizen of Indiana declaring a san
culinary belief that ex-senator Hendricks
will be elected Governor Of that State by
large majority-not less than fifteen tn ~
sand. Some of the friends Of Mr.. Hen
bricks have estimated it higher, but the
above, coming as it does from one of the
most careful Of politicians of the North
west, is entitled to much consideration.
Accompanying it are letters from Pennsyl-
vania with reference to the contest there,
predicting an active and vigorous CAM
paign in that State, and insisting upon the
adoption of all previous reports asserting
the coming triumph Of the Democracy Of
that State as correct.
SO far as New York is concerned, there
is no earthly doubt Of success. The ticket
nominated yesterday cast immediate con-
sternatiOn into the Radical rings here
abOuts, and they already feel that there is
much required of them in the way Of grid
ing up their strength to meet the offensive
operations Of the New York Democracy.
The Radicals have been attempting the
brag game OF late, hut the time for action
arriving, and tie indications of trouble to
hold their own ia oil sections outside of
certain New England haillwicks, brings the
inspiration that there IS heavy work to do,
with extremely doubtful chances Of sue

The Liberal movement is certainly on a

the whole of the Democratic vote, and

called. The Germans are for him to a man;

be said to be opposed to him."
