THE DUTY Ok THE PEOPLE.

The Republican State Central Com
mittee have called convention to meet
at Albany for the purpose of nominat-
ing candidate for Congress, and if
the people desire to put some one in
the field of their own choice, a man
on whom they can rely, an honest capa-
Bile tnah, and man whose name they
know; they must turn out generally
and attend the primaries. II they stay
at home and permit Office seekers to
choose for them, they will put bad
man in the field The only security
for the people, is for every voter to at
tend the primaries and send such men
to the county conventions, as will be
sure to send good men to the State con-
vention, with instructions to vote for no
nah except he is known to be one of
the people. not for demagogue and
political Office seeker who by his NAM
moth bump of self esteem is removed
far from the people, but one who is a
practicle substantial man, solid sober
man, not druukard, not thief, a
gambler, q trirkster or mcrcenary man.
The people have plenty of good men
in their midst from whom they can
select, take n man who abhors clicks
and rings and who stands square upon
his independence aud is of strict IN
tcgrlty, and you are safe; otherwise
you will be cheated, defrauded, deceiv-
ed and disgraced by your servant, while
ut midnight, he sits in secret conclave
with his brothers in crime, spending
your substance reyeling in the halls OF
your national capitol, sqnandering your
money without your consent 10 rioting,
debauchery and general proAigacy
and when you shall complain Of his
tyranny, be will laugh at your calamity
and mock when your fear cometh.

PoLFTTCAL.-@The Democratic State
Central Committee has met and fixed
their convention on the 9th of Scptem-
Der at Portland and have recommended
their primaries and county conventions
TO be held on the same days recommen-
ded by the Republicans. The people
now have chance to nominate and
elaet some honest capable man for
Congress, and If they will make the cf-
fort by commencing in the primaries
and see 10 II, that none bat men Of their
choice is selected as delegates to the
county or State Conventions, instructed
to vote for certain nan or class of
men, they will succeed,
otherwise they will be cheated. If
the people of both the present political
parties Will pursue this course We shall
have good man to represent us in
Congress no matter which party wins,
but if the people are cheated in their
nominations and political demagogues
succeed, then the plain duty Of the
people will be, to call a convention a,
once, nominate and elect man Of their
owh choice, without reference TO party |

Judge Durell, of Louisiana.

AS the name of Judge Durell, of New
Orleans, is before the public in connection
with the political imbroglio in Louisiana,
the following is..interesting:
Judge Durell is native of New Hamp-
shire, and descended from one of the oldest
families of New England. He was a class
mate in College with Wendell Phillips,
and his rival in scholastic attainments.
More than thirty years ago he went South,
and settled finally in New Orleans. He
prepared the charter of the city twenty
five years ago, and as a member of the
municipality conncil he. organized the
finance department and public schools.
Though a Democrat in politics, he OppOs-
ed secession, and consequently retired from
public life. On General Buffers arrival at
New Orleans he was appointed to take
charge of the city government, and accept
ed the position of head Of the finance
bureau, and acted sometime as mayor.
Mr.. Lincoln appointed him United States
District Judge; he opened his court at
once, and became the centre of law and
order He tried all the great prize cases of
the war; and condemned large amounts of
property through the confiscatiOn laws
not an appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court has been reversed. He is a
man of scholastic attainments, great in
dustryt independent in his action, and
probably one of the most accomplished
and thoroughly informed Judges i'm the
United States.

Yesterday at 1890 A. NJ, at the Roman

Nearer, Mr.. Adolf Ziegler to Miss Eliza
Metler, both of this city.
Many of the numerous friends of the
happy couple at the invitation of the
BRIDES father met at his country residence
about three miles from this city, on the
Knoxville and Ohio railroad to celebrate
the occasion. To say that all enjoyed
themselves is the best that we can say. Mr..
Metler set table that q king need not
blush over and the hospitalities of the
house were extended in the real old Ger
man style. We have been present at
many occasions of the kind, but it
has never been our pleasure before to be
one of party where all seemed so thor
oughly to enjoy themselves as last night.
band was there, and of course
the company did not suffer for the want of
good music, and many hours were spent
in the social dance. The principal portion
Of the company went out with the inten
ton of not returning until morning, and
we left them in the full enjoyment of the
OCCASION.
Germans generally have a good time
when they meet in social circle, and par
on little affairs of this kind, but
the party last night was the merriest we
have had the pleasure of participating in
for many years. May each successive
new year open up as bright to the happy
couple as the present one, and may the
Germans have many more such happy
gatherings as the one last night.

Horace Maynard to Present the Memorial
y I'll to Congress. fuUE 4
Many of the most prominent officers and
soldiers of the army of the Cumberland
have prepared the following memorial to
Congress:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tiUes of the United States in Congress as
sembled:
The undersigned members of the late ar
my of the Cumberland most earnestly Pc
tition Congress to aid them in their en-
deavor to erect statue to the memory of
their great commander, the late Major
General George H. Thomas, the hero of
Nashville, Chickamauga and Lookout
Mountain. The great services rendered
by this gallant commander during the war
and especially in the Southwest, are too
we'll known to every member Of Congress
to need particularizing in this me- mortal.
We trust that the same kind consideration
which Congress has shown to the memory
of Admiral Farragut and General Rawlins,
will be extended to their no less distin-
guished compatriOt, George II. Thomas.
The above memorial has been placed i'm
the hands of Hon. Horace Maynard for
presentation to Congress, for the reasons
given in the following letter: -.-z
Hon. Horace Maynard aAa
SIR: We have the honor herewith to
place in your hands, for presentation to
the House of Representatives, memorial
of the members of the late Army Of the
Cumberland, praying Congress to aid them
in their endeavor to erect all equestrian
statue to the memory of their late COM
mander, Major General George HI, Thomas.
We believe you to be the proper person to
take charge of this matter, having your
self had a son in that army, and also rep
resenting in Congress the State in which
the most distinguished services of General
Thomas were rendered.
Very respectfully.
