Orr ron. CoLoR11so.-Laste Saturday
night, March Is, Mr.. Joseph Hiss, who
has resided iii DonaldsonvilIe and yicin-
ity twenty-five years, pursuing the occu
patton Of saddler and coachmakcr,
"puued up stakes and left for the West
with his family, having previously dis
posed Of Ills property i'll this town by
sale to Mr.. $. Goette. Mr.. Hiss was very
widely and favorably known i'll this sec
ton, having SO deported himself during
lis long residence as to earn the esteem
Of all who had dealings or association
with him. Scrupulonsly honest ana al
ways Industrious and attentive to bust
ness, lie built mp All enviable reputation
and secured liberal share of public pa
tronage, enabling him to earn o comfor
table livelihood and acquire valuable
town property, consisting Of lot on
Railroad Avenue upon which, he erected
q fine two-story residence, with kitchen,
stable and other outbnildings attached,
besides his workshop. When building
this residence a few years ago, Mr.. Hiss
intended it to be home for the balance
Of lis days, and for his children after
him, but the Western fever seized him
and he made up his mind to try his for
tunes in the rapidly developing State Of
Colorado, where, too, he hopes the eli
mate will prove beneficial to his health,
which had been somewhat impaired by
an affection Of the liver. A host Of
friends view his departure with regret,
and wish him prosperity and happiness
wherever he goes. He was q good citi-
zen in every sense of the term, and will
be desirable acquisition to any commu-
nifty in which lie casts his lot. Just be-
fore taking his departure, friend Hiss
requested US to say goodbye to all his
many friends in this vicinity through the
medium Of the CHIEF, and to express his
regret that lie did not have time before
leaving to pay them all a visit and bid
them alden III person. The emigrants
embarked on the steamer James Howard
for st. Louis, where they will take the
cars and perform the remainder of their
Journey by rail. Mr.. Hiss will leave his
family at the home Of nephew in Kan
sas, and proceed to Colorado alone to Sc
lect favorable point for permanent 10
cation. Good luck to him!

Judge I. J. Walton, the prominent

i'll Baton Rouge, attending to the prose-
cution Of suit before the District Court
of that parish in which he has personal
interest. The Judge has been absent 50
long that some Of his friends here are
curious, not to say anxious, to learn the
cause Of his protracted stay. It has been
limited that perhaps a difference Of opin-
ion may have arisen between our legal
representative and the Judge Of the Baton
Rouge Court, concerning some important
question ofjudicial construction or prac-
tice, terminating in an attempt on the
part Of the Judge to conceal his chagrin
and cover up defeat by committing the
victorious Ascension disputant to dn-
rance for contempt of court; but we trust
no occasion for the exercise Of this arbi-
trary official prerogative has transpired,
and that the early return of Judge Wal
ton to his home will relieve the minds Of
his friends Of further apprehension on
his account.

Clellan addressed the Democrats here
last evening. After an eulogy of Gen.
Hancock, he said: "The Democratic
party supported the South before the
war. not because it liked slavery, but
because it respected the constitution.
When the war came, ii opposed the
South for a similar reason. Two
things united the South before
the war-slayery and anti.taritf.
TIE former is dead, and the South is last
becoming manufacturing country now

there. The Southern man Is mortal,
continued the Governor, 'the same as
we are, and all that has made the South
solid is the pressure OF Federal hands
and carpet baggers. Remove that pres
sure, and the South will cease to be
solid. With regard to the war claims,
the Constitution forbids their payment,
and believe that not a man North or
South favors their payment"
He then explained why tariff was
enacted, and said: '"fIuman ingenuity
never invented any system OF customs
not necessarily protective. The Demo-
Gratis, while in control OF the Govern
ment, never took one step to interfere
with the interests Of the country" II
he thought for moment that his party
would interfere with any productive In

which had been recently made, and
said that success should be balanced

Committee to the Voters ofthe County.
New EoRK, October Is The National
Democratic Executive Committee has
issued the following:
To the Democratic and ConsgrrGtirs Voters
Of tie Country
The election OF President and Vice
President is now before you. State and
local dissensions ere eliminated from the
issues OF the day. The magnitude OF
victory or defeat can only be remedicd
by the forces and means employed in
securing it.
BY fraud and corruption the people Of
the country were defeated in their pur.
pose in 1876, and the rightful elected
President was kept from office. With
the combined capital of the Republican
party, aided by repeated assessments
upon an army Of oilicehoders; with the
power OF the Federal Government repre-
sented by United States Marshals at the
polls; with intimidation, fraud and re-
sort to every corrupt appliance known
to Republican methods, concentrated in
two States, our adversaries have sue.
ceeded in procuring the probable return
OF their local candidates.
Can it he possible that in every State
throughout this broad land the came
methods can be brought to bear that
were used by the Republican managers

States OF New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, California, Colorado, Nevada

dated and irauied? Even without the
vote OF Indiana, whlrii We believe will
be redeemed in November, with New
York AMI New Jersey and the States
that are conceded US, including Maine,
the election oi our candidate is assured.
The Republican party havo put in
nomination tor President and Vice Pres.
1.-TWO men who, by admission OF their
own party and press, are unworthy oil
your consideration and your suilrages.
1t is impossible that fifty millions OF in
telligent aud patriotic people will con.
sent to place themselves upon the hu-
initiating level thus prepared for them
BY the Republican managers.
Fellow-citizens, the first DAYS repulse
at Gettysburg ended on the third with
Hancock in the front in glorious victo-
~. That victory secured us our Union.
The question is not now the preserva'
ton OF the Union, but OF Constitutional
Government. Hancock is now, az
then, in the front. The repu!se is now,
as then, the eve OF victory, which will
secure to coming generations the inesti'
mabe blessings OF civil liberty.
