At Logansport, Indiana, the Straight Out
Democrats OF Cass county held very large
meeting to ratify the nomination Of O'Oonor
and Adams, on Saturday evening. The Court
house, the usual place for holding such meetings
was crowded to its utmost capacity, and hundreds
were turned away. After the organization WAS
completed and committees were appointed to re-
port resolutions and to select delegates to the
State Convention on the 10Th, Ex-senator Fitch
was called out and addressed the audience for
an hour, being frequently interrupted with en-
thusiastic applause.
The New York correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe says The Democracy here now take it
foe granted that OOonor will stand on the
straight-out Democratic ticket for President and
will assist in the campaign against Greeley. The
straight-out Democrats here are very enthusi-
astic, and will vigorously enter upon the cam
paign. They seem to have plenty Of sinews of
war, and within two weeks two daily papers OF
this city, now supporting Greeley, will support
OOonor, and the O'Bren Democracy. it is anti
cpated, will announce their determination at
their next meeting tn support O'Conor in any
event,

The total receipts OF the three leading houses
are about as follows; Stockton House S200, 900,

O00 and you can count easily as much az twenty
tve per cent net profit on this.
Indeed, am assured that Colonel Cake, OF
Congress- will realize over $50 900 for his labors
of two months, Duffy, Of the Stockton, about
the same handsome figure, and Bolton, of the
Columbia, about $4,000. Congress Hall will
have another extension this winter, giving an
increased capacity Of say two hundred and ten
single rooms, while the Stockton had II in con-

Fhe September term OF Circuit Court COM

IN his charge to the Grand Jury, strongly re-

lower part Of Cecil, some two months ago. Re
ferring in general terms to the good order which
prevailed in the county, the Judge said that
this direct interference with the officers OF the
law in the discharge of their duty must be pun
lshed, that there was nothing in the history OF
criminal proceedings before tho Court over
which he presided which warranted even a sus-
pclOn that the negro would not have been fairly
lned and if found guilty executed, and that his
tureible seizure and Illegal "lynching' was a
great crime and must bs punished. He charged
Tue Grand Jury to make thorough investga-
tioh OF the case in order if possible to discover
lie guilty parties and bring them to trial.

been called to the story that he had received a
number OF shares in the Credit Mobilier he au-
thorized full and absolute denial of the entire

ther OAhes Ames, nor any other person, did he
obtain the sli hteAt interest In that enterfrise.

unqnalihedly false. He desires the fullest and
most complete contradiction Of the entire Alle-
CATION as without the slightest foundation in
fact and he asserts further. that he has never

Paciho Railroad Company, or in any other rail-
road or corporation that has been before Con-
gress during all the years in which he has been
a Senator.
