ed from bis examination that mistakes

Of defeat at Chicago. The instructions
Of Illinois and Alabama FOR Grant, give
him 80 votes more than enough to nomi-

TO obtain share Of those who are not

nominated BY reclamation, and IL the
Democrats should nominate Tilden,

meet at Washington next Thursday.
The Democrats Of Martin county in
Convention last Saturday, instructed
their delegates to vote for Mr.. james Il.
Walker, Of Loogootee, as the choice Of
that county. Mr.. Walker will probably
receive the nomination, and will make a
good Representative. His experience
as former county officer will be Of ad-
vantage to the people in his new posi-
ton. As business man he will look to
the interests Of business classes, and not
exclusively to that Of politicians. and he
has discernment enough to make an ex-
cellent officer. We presume he will re-
ceive the undivided vote OF the Dubois
county delegates, as there are no aspir.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

a party of bulldozers made serious
mistake in Georgia the other day. They
went at midnight, armed and disguised, to
commit an outrage upon negro who had
dared to think for himself in politics.
They fired into his cabin and then burst in
the door, whereupon their intended victim
fred both barrels of a shotgun at them,
and killed two on the spot. If there had
been more negroes like this one bulldozing
would have gone out of fashion long ago.
The Coroner's jury held an inquest, and
brought in verdict of justifable homicide
This is by far the most remarkable fact in
the case. 1t is wonderful enough to find
a colored man with the courage to resist
oppression, but to find Southern Core
ners jury willing to justify such an act of
self defense is at least sufficient to demon
strate that the exigencies of the campaign
are beginning to be realized down South,
and that an attempt is being made to act
upon the ono killing" order from head
quarters.

THE NUDE IN ART. AND GUT OF ART.

A curious thing has just happened in San
Francisco. In the art exhibit at the Me-
chanics' Fair was a painting called "The
Awakening" by French artist. 1t
represented a naked woman extended on
couch, and it was a very faithful study in
form and coloring. Objection was made
to this picture on the ground that it was
indecent, and the Managers of the Fair
therefore caused it to be covered with a
curtain, but did not remove it. On Satur
day night they resorted to the seemingly
practical test Of taking public vote on the
question whether it should remain and be
exhibited, or be removed and the vote
resulted in large majority for the reten-
ton of the painting. So the picture of
this naked woman is to be exhibited hence
forward without scruple, and the Man.
ayers are enabled to say that public opin-
ion demanded the exhibition. Nevertheless

WADE EAMPToN's EXPLANATION.

Wade Hampton's endeavor to explain
away his Stanton speech is not convincing.
The comments of the editor of the Talley
Virginidn upon his statement bear the
marks Of candor and conviction. He is
very positive that General Hampton said
what he is reported to have said about the
principles of Lee and Jackson. Hampton
himself indeed admits that he said in sub.
stance the same thing, and he only asserts
that the reporter somehow increased the
force of his remarks. 1t is perfectly clear
that pressure has been brought to bear
upon the General to induce him to DENY
his utterances. His Northern allies find
his frankness altogether too embarrassing.
But 1t Is equally clear that the journal
which first published his speech is deter.
mined not to be "blufed," no matter
whose corns are to be trodden upon, and
that General Hampton will have to be
careful IN his recantation if he does not
want to entangle himself in damaging con.
tradictions. 1t must be very humiliating
position for him to occupy. OF course he
knows that every man who heard the
speech is witness against him, and though
they may pardon his duplicity in view of
its motive, which is to pull wool over
Northern eyes, they can scarcely think so
highly as before of his conscientiousness.
It would have been more manly in him to
acknowledge the truth of the report, and
he might very well have left his Northern
friends to take care of themselves.

Various Items from Portland.

| PORTLAND, August 29th.-For the past
| forty EIGHT hours heavy shower has pre-
vailed. 1t is feared that the rain will do
much damage to the crops, and large guam
titles of grain throughout the valley are still
| exposed in the field. Should the rain cease
soon, and be followed by clear, warm
weather, little loss would follow; but twenty
the crops. One benefit which has resulted
from the rain is that the fires that have been
raging for days in the woods have been ex-
tinguished, and much property thus saved
from destruction.
The remains of the late Fred. J. Bills, the
young man who committed suicide few DAYS
ago. will be sent on the Columbia to oakland

Stowell as Commissioner on the part of the
State of Oregon to act with General r. V.

lands within the State. The two agents thus
appointed will go at once into the field and
select and determine what lands inure to the
State under the swamp land grant, There is
good prospect that the swamp land matters
of Oregon will be speedily adjusted, greatly
to the benefit of all concerned
United States Marshal f. S. Kearney has

submitted to the Legislature at its meeting
next month, has about concluded its labors.
Many important amendments have been
made, and rumber of sections of the pres
ent charter, which have been tested in the
Courts and decided to be illegal, are stricken
out. The present charter was adopted many
years ago, and the growth of the city has
rendered o general revision necessary.

THE DEATH OF oURaY.

The death OF Chief Ouray has apparently
occurred very unseasonably for the con-
clusion of the treaty with the Utes. He
had great influence over that tribe of
Indians, and his exertions alone had pre-
vented the failure OF all the negotiations
with them. But for him they would have
gone to war long since, and it would have
cost a great expenditure to subdue them.
Ouray has, fortunately for himself, died in
time to avoid enduring the modification
which the matter course violation of
his treaty must have cost him. For it would
be unreasonable to anticipate any better
faith on the part of the Government in this
than in preceding cases, and if the Utes,
Notwithstanding Ouray's death, sign the
treaty, it may be regarded as 2 foregone con-
clusion that it will be trampled under foot
before ten years have passed.
