prevented by the calamity which befell
him, in the death of his aged father, The
affair was very satisfactory.
DR.. Henry Slade having recovered
from his recent illness will to-day resume
his sesnces at the residence of jacob Mar
tin. Parties desiring sittings should make
engagements, as only a limited number can
be given daily. It
of course Maine went Republican. 1t
is a very poor candidate for President who
cannot carry his own state when he
belongs to its dominant party. We are
shedding no tears over the foregone result,
and fail to understand what the other fell
lows are yelling about,
Mr.. P. A. Tolford and Rev. Mr.. Man
ming, both of Michigan, are in the city Wis
ting old friends. Mr. Totord was super
intendent of the colored missions ia Cairo
ten years ago. He served in that capacity
for several years, and by his geniallty won
hosts of friends, who are glad to welcome
him back.

that the discussions will take place. The
challenge has been accepted by Capt.
! Thomas and all the committee will have to
| do, or is authorized to do in the matter, is

The respectable and intelligent people
OF this county, irrespective Of party, owe it
to themselves 10 resent the gross insult Of
fered them by the county Republican con
vention, in presenting to them, as n candi-
date for their sutfrages, such fellow as
Jno. Gladney. The convention perpGtrat-
ed this wrong Knowingly and deliberately
in cowardly compliance with what it con.
ceived to be the demand of the inhablt-
ants of the slums of the city, the most
degraded of black wretches who infest
the purlieu. We have the utmost conf
dence in the people, and believe that they
will give the convention such a rebuke
next November as will serve to warn any
who may in future presume to act for the
people in the capacity of delegates to a
| county convention.
Among announcements to-day appears
that OF Mr. w. N. Butler, as candidate for
the Office of states attorney at the Novem-
Der election. Mr. Butler is the Republi
can candidate, the nominee of the county
Republican convention held in this city on
the 9th inst, and as such he may justly ask
the support of Republicans generally. H,

year, during which time he has procured
himself homestead as proof of his deter
minstion to settle permanently among US
He is young man of excellent qualities o
mind and heart, and his agreeable socia
disposition has made for him friends at ev
cry hand He has been admitted to tn,
bar within the year, and while circumstan
ces have not permitted him to strive for
practice, his future as a lawyer is promis
ing, for, besides being thoroughly devoted
to his profession and applying himsel
, closely to study, he has natural talents tina
I will sooner or later give him promuenc
at the bar. AS states attorney of thi
county Mr.. Butler would undoubtedl
serve the public honestly, diligently an,
with whatever ability he might be possessed
of.
