higher.

States, entered the residence Of John
h. Moore. in Boone County, KY, on
the Sd, and made aproposal of marriage
TO Aiss Mary Moore, the eldest daugh-

the lady nine times in the breast

years Of age. had lost his wife about a
year ago. and Of late had been visiting
Miss Moore frequently, but had re-
csived no encouragement on account Of
his dissipated habits.

This would give Mr.. Tilden fifteen more
votes In the electoral college than are
necessary.
It is not commended that the above named
twenty-five States are the only States Mr..
Tilden can possibly carry. He has as good
u show for Ohio and Indiana rs Hayes has,
aud a fair prospect also Of getting the vote
Of New Hampshire. But these three
States are mighty uncertain. They can not
be relied upon. The indications have been
for months that he is more likely to carry
the twenty-five States first named than any
of the others, and that il he loses, through
any mismanagement, four or five Of the
probably he elected. There Is a possibility
that Mr.. Tllden might be elected without
the vote Of South Carolina and Florida; but
II would not do TO risk the loss OF the eleven
votes OF those two States, for fear one or
two OF the Eastern or Pacific States above
named may d~isappOint us. 1t will never
answer to work for only a bare majority Of
electoral votes.
Under the circumstances will 1t not be
wise to carry every Southern State at all
hazardsI There are not United States troops
enough available to surround all the polls
throughout the South. Indeed, the United
States army, IL 1t were practicable to with
draw 1t from other duties, Is insufficient for
the purpose, II the Democrats Of the South
determine to act in concert on election day
10 deposit tnelr own votes NJ an early nOuT,
and then see to il that the negroes are not
inundated, biibed, cajoled or otherwise
tempered with by the carpet-baggers. TIL
stake to be played for on Tuesday, Novem-
Der !, Is the possession Of the Government
and it can be won. But there must be 70
loose talk beforehand.
The results Of the late elections in YER
mont and Maine admonish us to confine our
hopes and efforts to those States which we
have u reasonable prospect Of ,arrying-the
more especially AS there are more than
enough Of them to elect our candidate.
Give us a solid Southern vote. ut all haZ-
ards, and all will be right. Without that
vote the prospect is gloomy and success
more than doubtful.
i. S.-You have above the sober second
thought of hundreds OF anti-war Democrats
from all pIrts of the Union brought here by
the Centennial. The orders OF Grant and
his Secretary Of War, Cameron. and the
opinion Of Acknowledgement Taft, are only
a scare. The Administration has not troops
enough to execute its threats. All that Is
n cessary to a Democratic victory is for the
South to organize and keep the carpet-bag-
gers from ''intimidating' the negroes on
election day.
1t is taken for granted that you have IA
cilities for privately communicating with
the party leaders of your vicinity who are
familiar with the methods Of effective organ
izatiOn for the November struggle.

: Our neighbor, DR.. ], 7. Updegraf, oi
Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, is doing good service
for the Republican cause in Indiana. He
spoke at Lawrenceburg on the 22nd, and
dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal
says OF his speech that
at was the gentleman's first effort in
Indiana, and for au impromptu speech
beggars description. It was an original
speech and full OF merit. The gentleman
kept his hearers in continual laugh at
his witty anecdotes, that were always to
the point. The unusual combination oi
rare wit with such power Of eloquence as
the gentleman possesses ia indeed valua.

case like this, to convict Mr.. Tilden il
would perhaps only be necessary to pre-
sent hiS two afiidavits to ajury.
The evidence as to his large income in
1S62is damagingly cumulative. He was
connected as counsel and trustee with q
large number Of railroads in that year.
He was the legal advisor OF the north
western Railroad, and was Director OF
the same. He was also counsel To the Chi
cago and Alton Road, tho Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Road, the Cumber.

porations: The Northwestern Road alone,

ing. from $4,000 to $4,000, and as the
other organizations were as wealthy as
the Northwestern, Mr.. Tildens income
from all the corporations could hardly
have been less than $4,000 a year.
In the same year, 1862, Mr.. Tilden was
President and Trustee Of the New York
Balanca Dock Company, which then, &C.
cording 10 a report filed by him in the
County Clerks office, on Jan. /, 1868, had
paid.up capital Of $3.50, 900. The whole
record is an. ugly one for Mr.. Tilden.

CAMP MEETING.
MouSpsvnLE, August q.

Editors lntellIGencer: &
This morning at an early hour the peo.
pie began to come in all directions. The
whole country seems. aroused. Wagons,
busgies, and vehicles Of every description
came laden with their precious loads Of
humanity. This is Tie day OF the camp
meeting and expectation has been center
ed on il, and il the crowd is not unusually
large, many will pronounce the meeting
failure. But the expectations OF the
most sanguine will surely be realized il
the morning arrivals are any Indication
Of what may be expected. The trains
from Wheeling came with their hundreds,
il not thousands, while one from the East
came at an early hour bringing many
that could not have otherwise been pres
ent. Many likewise came by boat. The
morning service at the stand is said to
have been one Of the best meetings yet ex-
perienced.
The service at 101 o'clock was opened
by singing, "From Every Stormy Wind
that Blows" Prayer was offered by Rev.
DR.. Reilly, Of Wheeling. After singing
"Rock OF Ages" the Rev. DR.. Tho
burn preached from the subject, God
be merciful to me sinner" He
first spoke OF the two characters pre-
sented by the men who went up into the
temple TO pray-the contrast between
them. They both expected to be justified,
but they were not. One would not admit
himself wrong, hence he could not be JUS
tilted. The publican confessed and was
justified. The same thing is shown in
the case OF Cain and Abel. We all are
sinners; there ia q war between our sin-
iul natures and Gods laws. Sin is trans
gression OF the law OF God. All are con-
scious that they are sinners, but will not
admit il. No man can be saved until he
does admit it. We must begin with the
alphabet Of salvation, and that ia express
ed in the words Of the text. But our
sins are not the worst with which we have
10 do. Our sinful nature must be chang
ed. All our sins may be pardoned and
we still be sinners. But when our natures
are changed then we stand justified.
What Is meant by our autGref No man
has defined nature. We know that our
nature is sinful, and that the poison Of
death instilled into our first parents six
thousand years ago by that old serpent,
the devil, has tainted the veins Of the
whole human family from that day
to this. The Holy Spirit will de-
stroy the works Of the devil II
we permit It to be done. It Il easy to
acknowledge that we arc sinners when
the multitude does the same with US, but
II Ia more difficult to make II a personal
matter-to rise before the great congrega-
ton and acknowledge the same. But TO be
saved we must do II, and those who do Il
will be justified rs was the Publican.
These are few OF the points made. He
closed with an earnest appeal TO sinners,
inviting all anxious :ones to rise in the
congregation. Several arose. The con.
gregation was very large, Tho entire su-

The Governor has appointed samue
Price, Of Greenbrier county, US. sena
Tor ai interim-to fill the vacancy Occa
stoned by the death Of Mr.. CapertOn unit
such time as the next Legislature shaI
elect a asuccessor. We presume the Gov
ernor makes this appointment under th'
conviction that the position having beer
conceded by the last Legislature to the
Third District, should still be continued
to that section Of the State. ACT
inc on this conviction he could hard
ly have done otherwise than appoint
MI. Price, inasmuch as the latter Is a
rsn,escntutiye man in the same locality
from, whence came Mr.. Caperton, and TO
high degree enjoys the confidence and
,s.nec, Of the people Of the Greenbrier
valley. 1t il an appointment that the
legislature will be more apt to confirm
and continue than any other that we can
now think Of in that region. We look
upon it virtually filling one OF the SEN
,,or.hips for the full term, andas leaving
only the succcssorship to the Hon. Henry
q Davis to be settled by the Legislature
next winter.
There will be only one obstacle in the
way Of Mr.. Prices continuance in the
po.ition that we can now see, and that Is
the almost certain fact that trade will
take place between competing parties in
the Second district and competing parties
in the Third. Mr.. Davis will want sup.
uor, from the Third district and so will
Mr. Faulkner. What is more natural Ito
them, than to arrange and trade with
Price or Walker or Col. Ben. Smith. II
Mr.. Price is sharp trader he will be able
to hold the place.
Geographically speaking, there ia not
much to say about the new appointee,
save that he is a respectable sort Of a
lawyer at Lewisburg; that he was Lieu
tenant.Governor OF Virginia during the
war; that he was, like his predecessors, u
Confederate; that he was President Of the
Convention that made our present be-
bungled and unpopular Constitutions that
he VIA an aspirant for the posi-
ton lie now holds at the time
Mr.. Caperton was elected, and that he
was likewise an aspiraut for the Guber-
nstoiral nomination at the hands OF the
late Charleston Convention. In fact,
Governor Price, as he is called, has been
understood to he a candidate for any good
thing that lie could get, and we congrntu-
late him on getting, at last, pretty good
tning-goOdif only it has the gift OF con.
tinuance. Gov. Jacob has given him a
good send Off in the race, aud with Major
Alderson on the ground here to superin-
tend the track there ought.to he no diff
