no sraIl; the OF the front Democracy,
one solid phalsnx of Voters, in the roe It
civilians, was too grand and imposing
to lose caste when compared
with the gsudy coiors which
composed the make up Of our Radical
brothers, and rs result, greater conf
deDce was iustilled into the minds o!
Belmont county Democrats.
The line of march having been gone
ovor, under the Bsrshalship of Messrs~G.
II. Mutb, j, Il Darrab, II. Lsndcrone,
Walter Darrah, AMI Albert Roda.or, the
procession repaired to the stand on the
square, where they were, addressed by
Hon. a. W. Kelsey, Of Missouri, Col.
4 Sheafc, of Tennessee, and Col. 5. n.
DouIvan, of New York. tiov Curtin,
having missed connection al Columbus,
did not address the meeting. Missing
the Beliaire train, he succeeded in reach
ing Steubenville via the Panhandle IN
time 10 talk to the people of that place.
At the same time the Democratic
speakers were addressing the Democrats,
the Republicans also were addressed By
the Hon. Lorenzo DaDford and Judge
Dittenhoeffer, of New York, the speakers
stands being within stones throw of
each other The RAIDS however, lost the
larger portion OF their audience cary IN
the evening, but the eloquence of the
distinguished gentlemen who addressed
the Democracy held their audience spell
bound until the close, and not until the
Democratic meeting WAS adjourned and
a large number of Democrats repaired
to the Republican meeting did they have
an audience thst could compare with
the Democrats in any sense Of the word.
Both parties were pescesbly disposed,
and there were no disturbances on either
side worthy of note. Altogether the pro-
cession of the Democrats far exceeded the
Republicans in the number OF Belmont
county voters, and it was sad, indeed, to
witness the discontinue Of the RAIDS.
MISCELLANEOUS NEws.
4 False Report.-The Intel!igencer this
morning may contain Il false account OF
intimidation of negroes IN Virginia. The
report originated through Mr.. Joseph h.
Grafton, who returned from that state
Yesterday, and informed the htteiiigencer
man that there were great many ne
gToes in Virginia who would vote for
Tilden, and the frsi youth hiss garbled
the same to suit the editor OF that sheet
.LaphyS Attempt at SItsds.-We
called on Mr.. VIM. Murphy, at the
American House, yesterday, and found
him much worse than we had
been led to suppose, and his re
coevry Is now considered doubt
full. AS stated in the REGISTERS
account yesterday. Illness was partially
the cause Of his attempt TO make away
with himself, but he confessed to us yes
terday that financial embsrrassments also
had something TO 90 with it. He says that
about year ago he was in business IN
Baltimore, and that his partner, named
Robert Hedges, had absConded with the
money OF the firm which had been de-
posted in bank, and given notes for
various sums on the firm. amounting TO
some $1,000, and that, as n, result,
no was bankrupt without means
of any consequence. He has
been on the track Of Hedges
for about ten months, but beng unable
to overtake him and bring him to justice,
had despslred OF ever recovering his
property. This, in addition to other
money that he has been swindled out of,
and the constant fear of being reduced to
heggary, through sickness, so worked on
his mind that in fit of mental aberra.
ton he attempted suicide, believing all
with whom he came in contact to be con-
spring to obtain his money. Murphy Is
a fine looking, well educated man, has
been here about seven weeks and says
that had he but one friend with whom to
have consulted the attempt TO take his
own life would not have been made.
Criminal There were five cases be-
fore the Police Court, yesterday, each OF
whom were fined the ususl amounts.
