EDITOR HERALD.--The citizens of Bosco-
bel wish TO make it known through the col
unns of your valuable paper that large pro-
portion of the inhabitants of this section are
fully alive TO the interest and welfare of our
country. In view of the coming Presidential
election, meeting was held in the town hall
last evening for the express purpose of organ
izing "Grant and Wilson Club" The at
B enhance in point of numbers and intelligence
was well calculated TO encourage every one
devoted to the Republican cause. Hon. W..
w. Field was called to the chair, and after
the ordinary prelminaries were gone through
with, the audience experienced great pleas
ure and no little profit in listening TO a truly
eloquent speech by the Hon. J. Allen Barber
Mr. Barber did himself infinite credit in the
clear and lucid manner in which he set forth
the leading features of General Grants adj
and he also met with equal sue
cess the objections so industriously raised by
the Presidents opponents. His speech left a
highly favorable impression upon his hearers,
and will have decided and beneficial lnilu-
ence upon the coming election. The audience
manifested their appreciation of Mr.. Barber's
effort by giving HIM such rousing cheers as
were well calculated TO cheer a man onward
to success. Hon. G. c. Hazeton was loudly
called for, but as the hour was late he was ex-
cased on promise of speech in the future.
The Club then proceeded to the fulf llmentl
of the leading object Of the meeting by elect
ing Mai. G. X. Frank, President; Jacob
Hlme. Vice President; G. Cannon, Record ]
ing Secretary; NJ. w. Bailey, Corresponding
Secretary B. NJ. Coates, Treasurer.

out on deck and seizing the axe, which
fortunately did not fall overheard, with

Another shot rang close in my ears, and
with yell another Spaniard who had
run aft on the cutter and was about to
fire on me, tumbled to the deck by a
shot from Sinclair's pistol. We now
jumped as quickly as possible into the
hold, and Haywood, having fastened the
wheel straight ahead, squatted below
the guards of the pilot house. We were
none too quick, for a volley of musketry
from the Spaniards ratified above our
heads. Then we heard orders in Span
ish to bring the brass gun to bear upon
us, and minute afterward we heard
heavy and protracted cursing and
swearing. 1 dislike very much to hear
swearing, but must confess that the
cursing of those Spaniards when they
found their gun spiked and useless was
music sweet in my ears. They gave US
another volley of musketry, most of
the shots of which fell short. We were
now safe and standing out upon deck
we shouted back our derision and def
aflce and made our steam whistle scream
when our voices could no longer be
heard by our captors. We headed
straight for the port in Cuba from
which we had set out. Capt. Sinclair's

that should involve perjury. How then
