| years after inoculation. Some think the man
 really did have hydrophobia, and others that
 he was frightened to death by the physician
 who told him that he had the dreadful dis
 ease The way to avoid being the subject of
 such useless and unpleasant discussion IS to
 keep away from dogs and immediately eau

 to get bitten.
 The New York Tunes charges that an in- 1 genious plan to prevent Republicans voting
 is being extensively practiced by Democratic
 agents in that city. man, equipped with a
 considerable sum of money, enters an estab-
 lishment where Republicans are known to be
 employed in large numbers, and offers to l bet on the result of the election with such | reckless odds that takers are readily found The milk in the cocoanut is that the sly Dem
 ocrat takes the name, residence and voting place of all his victims with view of chal- lenging their votes when they come to the polls to offer their ballots on election day. The statute disqualifes man who has laid
 wager on the result of the election from voting. Undoubtedly a large number of
 votes could be destroyed in this way.

 SHEBUTA, Miss, Sept. 30.
 AS you seem to take lively interest in
 matters and things generally in the 'solid South" and especially that particular matter which overshadows everything else, viz, the , payment of southern claims by the general government in case of General Hancock's
 election, desire to say that it will prove a
 great deal of time and labor lost on your part, and also all who engage in that business, to oppose the people of the South in their
 effort to secure their just and sacred rights.
 We of the South have long been ground to
 powder, it were and now the time IS close at hand when we propose to do a little grind ( ing ourselves, and when commence the . 1 North will be our grist, and don't you forget it. We don't care what Hancock says about
 vetoing legislation looking to that end, we in tend to elWct him all the same, and then we dare him to refuse to do our bidding. We
 would soon rid the country ot
 him for his country's good, too, witt
 i a full assurance that rights would bt l cared for in the hands of that noble ano 5 1 glorious patriot and friend of the South William H. English, our candidate for Nle' , President You, Mr. Editor, if you are no !, dead, 8 circumstance that ought to have befel you and all of your like quarter of a cen l tury ago, will soon have your turn at th' s l wheel and then perhaps you will be brough . l to your senses, if you have any, and be mad to realize what hardship is, as we of thu l South know what it is That time is as SUIT to come as fate itself, and it is not far distan either, and then the South, the glorious Q South, will rejoice and praise God forever
 more, and what are you going to do about 1t Respectfully, etc.,

 The campaign in Indiana is very hot ont I and some of the Democratic papers of thu @ State are disgracing themselves by utterance : which are sadly out of place in northerl Q State. A meeting of business men n was held in Indiananapolis the othe q day at which the opinion wa q generally expressed that the success o S the Democratic party would be disastrous t e the country The Indianapolis Sentinel, tn }. home organ of ex-Goyernor Hendricks, wa d made very angry by the report of the pro e ceedings of this meeting and advised tn Democratic customers of the men who wer r. present to cease to deal with them. But tn V Sentinel is not the only paper guilty of dirt et work The defection of the De Pauws, wh J. cannot Ego" the free trade declaration in tn q Democratic platform, hurts the Indiana Den IS ocrats badly and several Democratic paper l. have brutally assailed the De Pauws. So vic IA lent have become the denunciations agains ,r these gentlemen that the Ne d Albany Ledger -Std'ed0rd, itself Den Q ocratic, feels obliged to say:
 m MT. De Pauw, though he be wealthy hf T rights to be respected as well as the schen K ing politician and hummer. He is an hol pr ored citizen of New Albany; he is an enc ey getic, enterprising manufacturer, and ,d worth more to this city than all the dem
 popues in Christendom. He meddles n SC with politics; he never thinks of coercing ne persuading his employees to vote contrary SC their desires and sentiments. This we ha' ~ | reason to know is true. He pays his hane ', according to contract for what they do, an D. does not owe an employe cent that cam u- | be collected on demand. It is true Mr.
 Pauw favors protective tariff. Ihls IS n ,.o1 right; that is, if he is to have any sort 5 rights. In regard to the business meeting IT, Indianapolis, MT. De Pauw had perfe id right to attend it, and preside If called upo1 -,s l He WAS urged to be chairman of that mee , inO. but in a becoming modest manner d ''- clined. He preferred not to give the lea on shadow of excuse for being attacked by tl @ partisan press, and, furthermore, he has O inclination whatever to engage In pohtlc
 meetings or politics in any shape, His life a' devoted to religious, benevolent and man Is- featuring pursuits, and it is his desire not re be ostentatious and prominent. What ,e does is in a quiet way, and common decen' ~ should protect him from the enmlty al Ill gross assaults of partisan scribblers al IT, small politicians.
