COMPLAINTS FROM BELL.

In conversation with an intelligent
citizen and Democrat of Bell county,
a day or two since, we were panied
to learn that our brother Democrats
of that county are disposed TO COM
plain of us in this county, on account
of the attitude of few ON the issue
for district judge. The purpcrt of
the complaint is that Falls aud Bell
counties appointed their delegates to
a judicial convention and instructed
them as to their wishes, and that
McLennan county, in its convention,
declared no convention necessary
and that Judge Alexander was the
nominee, but since then some of the
McLennan Democrats had announce
ed that he was not the nominee, and
Judge Maxcy, the Independent can
didate, claimed large Democratic
support in this county. Our friend
seemed to think that the McLennan
Democrats had not acted with that
good faith which should obtain
tain between Democrats, and had
played trick of in the balance OF
the district.
We assured him that he is mistak-
en-, and that our people here would not
discount to such acts as he appre-
hcnded, but that, with few person
al exceptions, we stood solid for AL.
exander as the regular party candi
date, and would give him full vote
in November; at which, he seemed
more than gratified.
This incident serves to show tina
our acknowledgements of the distric
have their eyes upon us, and that thu
McLennan Democracy must prove it
self above all tricks, and devoted Al
well to the interests of the party a
to their own plighted word ant
faith. Having declared Alexander
to be the nominee, without the form
ality of convention, IL behoove'
them rs honorblc men and Democrat,
to make their word good, and leav,
no faint of dishonor upon their garm
ents. We know they will do this
and that a reminder is hardly neces
sary, except to assure our friends o
the other counties that all is well VI
this way. Let them keep up thei
own singletrecs-ours is horizonta
and the traces all tight.

The accident at Lynchburg, Va,
turns out to have been a really trag
ic affair in which bride and BRIDE
groom, colored, were killed at the
very altar.
Thomas johnson, a well-known
young man, was to be married to
Malerida Boscher, at the Court street
colored church. At thehour named,
an immonse throng gathered to wit
ness the ceremonies. The seating
capacity of the church is about two
thousand, but there were many more
than that present. Every seat was
occupied, and the aisles, windows,
doorways, and, in fact, every availa-
BILE place where person could find
sitting room was occupied. The
bride and bridegroom, with the ac-
companying groomsmen and maids,
as the clock chimed IL, made their
appearance at the church, and took
their places at the altar. The minis
ter commenced the ceremony, and as
he reached the point where he was in
the act of pronouncing the contract
ing parties man and wife, some one
in the gallery noticed that the plas-
tering on the ceiling, which was
cracked, had commenced falling. The
person who first noticed this, gave
the alarm. Standing upon railing
this man in loud voice, declared
that the roof was falling in. Tht

sPIHSONaIS ABATEMENT.

We clip the following from the Atchison
Cir.Epi3H of Yesterday. 1t is a plain
straightforward statement and one that we
personally know TO be true. 1t does credit
TO Col. Martin, as well as justice 10 Senator
ingalls,. 1t is manly and honorable, and
shows that the course pursued towards Col.
Martin by Senator Ingalls, was one that
neither gentleman has any reason to be
ashamed OF. The Champion says:
We have noticed recently, in several jour
nails, intimations or assertions that during
the late canvass ia this State, Senator Inga'Is
exerted his influence with his friends to pre-
vent the nomination OF the editor OF The
Champion for Governor.
These suspicious and assertions are We be-
lieye, without the shadow of foundation in
fact. Considering all the circumstances oil
that cImpaign, the strength of the locality
cry and the possible effect of our nomination
upon the election of Senator this winter, we
think that Mr.. ingalls, friends, as a rule.
treated us with fairness, while the course of
the Senator himself was in the largest degree
honorable and even generous.
Nery many of the Senator's friends were
among our most active, earnest and faith
ful. supporters, and those of them who cp-
posed our nomiuat on weie influenced, not
by his advice, but by considerations per-
sonal TO themselves. We know, too, that
many Of his friends, who were all personally
friendly TO US, hesiiated about acting on their
preferences because they cared that our sue
cess might prejudice his chances of election; !;
nd that whenever any one wrote TO him
stating such doubts, the Senator replied that
he did not wish any friend of his TO oppose
our nomination as fatal TO him.
II is only just to make these statements,
and We give them publicity with great pleas
Cre- Not one man In thousand, under
similar circumstances, would have acted to-
wards Us with as much fairness and gener-
osity as did Senator ingalls, dur.
ing the late canvass. Bis friends did not all
support us, OF course, but We are sure that
not one .of those who opposed us was in
huenced in his action by the suggestions
or advice OF the Senator. Many of them
did support US, earnestly and faithfully
and not one OF these did the senator at.
tempt TO influence against us by word, hint
followed their own personal inclinations in
the canvass, and we know that in many
cases where he might have influenced men

nrInod them in their personal preferences.

There il TO season to fear that our sup
ply Of wheat will prove to be in excess Of
the demand from foreign countries. Eng-
land expects TO need nearly all We haze 10

Britain will r5qIue some 100000 quar-
ters from abroad, but the P1E NGH Badgct

Russia, both Of which countries have
shown a growing Dissemination to take pay

state oi the relations between Russia and
England Is such az 10 indicate that Russia
Will not be called upon to furnish much of
the wheat needed by Great Britain. In
case Of a war, the United States erd the
British American provinces will be the
main dependence. In The face Of failing
export trade and general depression in
every branch Of business, the expenditure
OF a5out s. per head Of the total Popula-
tion to foreign countries for one article OF
food is regarded by the English paper as
matter Of grave Importance. If TO this be
added the possibility Of further distur-
bince Of trade, and the probable advance
in the price of breaGstuHs the gravity of
the situation is further increased.

aYE..Y .oos PLATFORM

The Communists of Chicago have had the
haTdiAoOi to enter the political arena there
aud dominate three candidates for Congress
ia tie First, Second and Third districts-
NcsUllE, Scaling and Sibicy-.'three of the
noisies, OF the Communistic brawIeIs of this
city" says the Tribune. The platform on
which the candidates are placed is rather
moIcsa.e, all things considered it de-
manis 4 reduction of the hours Of labor; a
proper ventilation OF factories, mines and
tenement houses; the establishment of a
bureau Of labor statistics; the alb lition of
convict Labor and cH!ld labor compulsory
education OF all children un-er Il years of
age, with the schOol-b goks furnished by the
Government; the abolition of the national
banks, and the m uagement of savings
banks by the Gov' ument, and TIE abolition
Of the luck system in manufacturing dis
trirts Ey which goods are given in exchange
for labor. Chicago has been credited with
large but unknown number OF very Iurbu-
lent Communists, and their par!icil alton in
the Con ZreSsionai contest will at least reveal
how strong or how wtak they are. The other
parties profess not to sppTehend a drawing

TIE CNlNENE FAMINE.

The horrors of the Chinese famine have
already been described 10 our readerf as far
as various extracts from foreign correspon-
dence could show. The misery which has
afflicted millions has led TO cannibalism,
which. still continues. There are abun-
dant cahs for charity nearer home, yet
there should be room for benevolence even
when the suffering Is on the other side of
the globe. A Shanghai correspondent Of
the New York Wo77, writing on the Goth
