The Changers Of Missouri have
called State Convention of their
own to nominate a State ticket. -
The Democrats thought they had
captured the Changers, but it turns
out that they went 'snipe hunting
and they are left to hold the bag.
The Changers invite cooperation
of men OF all parties, but will not
unite in a Convention with either
the Democrats or Republicans 1t
is thought the Republicans will
decline to make any nominations,
and vote for the Granger ticket. If
so, it is certain to win.

The Potomac has risen about

There are indications of an in
teresting political contest in the
Democratic party in Ohio, between
the friends of Senator Thurman
and Mr.. George III. Pendleton, for
supremacy in the organization.
The greenback theory -greenbaczs
for bonds still lives in the minds Of
the faithful over there, and Sena-
tor Thurman's engergetic adyoca-
cy Of specie payments, and defence
of the principles set forth in Pres
ident Grants veto message, has
aroused against him the bitter op
position of the Pendleton party,
under the lead of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. The Democratic Con-
gressional Convention ofthe Four
teenth district at Bucyrus, was
largely attended, and adopted res
olutions in favor of an ifcrease of
the currency, which marks some
thing ola triumph for the Pendle-
tonians, as this is one OF the strong
est di tricts the party has III the
State. The state Convention meets
on the 10Th inst. at Columbus, 10
nominate minor state officers, and
in that body the fight between The
friends of the two leaders, cham
pioning imitation and specie re-.
sumption, will in all likelihood be
very exciting. The friends Of PEN
dleton, it is said, propose to bring
him out from his enforced retire
ment from politics, by running
him as candidate for Congress in
one of the Cincinnati districts this
fall.

THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT.

THE GRESSEONAb FIGHT.
The fight for the honor Of rep
resenting this District ia Congress
promises 70 be a lively one. Hon.
Charles James Faulkner has start
ed the ball by the publication Of q
letter in the last Issue Of the
Charlestown Free Press, in reply
TO the request Of a number Of ci!i-
zens Of Harper's Ferry, that ne al
low the use of lis name fOF The POI
sition, in which he gives assent 10
the request, and lays down his
platform. We see 10 special ob-
jections 10 his platform, but Mr.
Faulkner. whether purposely or
not, fails to state whether he is
candidate Of the people, already on
the track, OF merely candidate
for nomination at the hands a
partizan convention. We consider
this an impolitic and fatal blum
der. In contest for his party
nomination. Mr.. Faulkner cannot
hope to win, Notwithstanding his
towering intellect aud indomita-
bic will and energy. Parties have
their usages, and their favors are
not always, aud IN fact, very sell
dom, bestowed upon the most able
and fit claimants. Taking q par
tizan view Of the contest for
nomination hy the Democrats,
strikes astbut Hon. b. L. Martin
will 20 into the fight with great
prestige gained by his former cam
didacy and contest in the House
for his position. No matter
whether his former nomination
was secured fairly or not, he ,cds
nominated, made the fight, and
gave his time and money in pros
ecutine a somewhat noted contest
In the House for his seat. This
must, in. a partizan view, inure 10
his advantage over all COMPETE
tors for the coming nomination.
and render him much stronger in
the convention than he was two
years ago. In fact, we believe he
will receive votes in the conven-
ton simply on the grounds of his
former canvass, and his friends
will not be slow to work it up
Therefore, we conclude that Mr..
Faulkner'S mistake is in not at
once announcing himself squarely
as candidate Of the people on the
platform which he puts forth. and
which is broad and comprehensive
enough for all to stand upon who
desire fair, economical, and pure
administration of the affairs of
government.
The INDEPENDENT will proba-
bly, be found battling for some
stralgh forward independent cam
didate, and we are among those
who are of opinion that with a
fair field an independent candi-
date under certain circumstances
can win in this District, but just
how the fight is to be made or
who is to make it, we shall, like
Mr. Faulkner in his candidacy,
await further developments before
enIisting for the campaign.

1t looks now as if cholera is the
coming sensation, to succeed the
hydrophobia discussion and the
comet as newspaper topic. New
York papers contain detailed state
ments of the case Of the woman
who died in Brooklyn. Itappears
that she bad all the symptoms of
genuine Asiatic cholera, and that
the disease was caused by inhaling
foul air from fire-crackers damag-
ed by bilge water. Almost sim
tultaneous with this death was tina
of Patrick Foley, in Louisville
KY. In his case the disease termi-
mated fatally in eight hours, and a
strange coincidence is that he died
in the same house in which the ep-
idemic of 1851 broke out.

miles from Hagerstown, at Leh-

by a ball belonging to his father.
He Went into the stable where the
animal was, and II seemed very
gentle licking the young man up
on the hand but Immediately up-
on the chain which fastened the
animal being removed, it suddenly
made an attack upon the young
man lifting him upon his horn and
running out of the stable where
he threw him up in the air. The
enraged bull was about to make
another attack, when Mr.. Henry
Lehman came TO his sons rescue
and succeeded in knocking the
bull down with large stone. The
young man was considerably in
jured, perhaps fatally. The same
bull killed a horse about year
ago, belonging to Mr.. Lehman.
