National Convention of COlOred Demo.

A despatch from Chicago Juue 21st

1.-THE cOlOred mems National Demo-
cratic Convention met this morning at
II o'clock. The meeting was called to
order by National Secretary w. H.
johnson, of Albany, who was made
chairman.
johnson paid a warm tribute to
Cleveland and Hill, and concluded by
declaring that the Republican party
to-day stands sectional party, dicta-
torial, overbearing and autocratic.
The roll of the delegates showed seven
teen States represented. The conven-
ton adopted resolutions pledging itself
to support the Democratic party's ma
tiOnal candidate. A committee was
appointed and the convention adjourn

Leg Broken.

Mrs VIM. Jordan, the mother of Mrs. John
B. Hoge of this city, who is 70 years of age,
had the misfortune to have her leg broken
below the knee by fall on the floor soon
after getting out of bed last Sunday morning
at her home in Shendun. On Sunday after
noon Mrs. Hoge went to stay with her mother.
An accident of this kind to one of her ad-
vanced age is very serious matter, but as she
stood the setting of the broken bone very
well and is cheerful, there is good hope that
she may recover. She was paralyzed in that
leg some years ago. and that no doubt caused
her to fall, and that may account too for the
fact that she bore the setting so well, as the
sensibility of that leg was deadened by
paralysis.

Stabbing ARRAY in New Market.

In New Market on Friday, the nth
inst, Scion M. Armentrout of Luray
stabbed his wife's father, Benz. Con-
ner, who lives near New Market, in
ficting four flesh wounds in the left
shoulder and back. He lost a great
deal of blood though the wounds are
not dangerous. '<
The Shenandoah Valley says
"At one o'clock the same day, a pre-
liminary trial was had by Mayor NJ. w.
Williamson, d. S. Henkel, attorney,
appearing for Mr.. G. Mr. A. waived a
preliminary examination, and was re-
manded to Woodstock Jail, to await
the action of the grand jury, being
taken there the same day of the trial
in charge of Sergeant Sibert. We have
since learned that Mr.. A. was bailed
on Saturday in the sum of a thousand
dollars, to appear at the next term of
the court. Concerning the unfortu-
nate affair, we have no comments to
offer, which, however, at the time
caused considerable excitement"

How Harrison's State treats the negroes.

That there is less liberation of the
negroes in the North, and especially in
Harrison's State, Indiana, and more
hostility and race prejudice than in the
South, is well illustrated by the follow
ing despatch, dated Peru, Ind, June
21st:
1.-Two colOred delegates from Florida
to Minneapolis, on their way home, not
having tickets or money, were put off
the train by brakeman. They at
tackled him SO vigorously that they were
arrested, charged with murderous as
sault, tried and sentenced to two years
Michigan City prison last night. They
gave their namss as John Rogers and
John Craig"
So eager were the people of Indiana
to punish the negroes that, almost be-
fore they could draw their breath, they
were arrested, tried and sentenced to
the penitentiary. The negroes will
learn after while that their best friends,
their only friends in fact, are the South
ern people among whom they were
reared and who understand their char
acter and want of opportunities and
make allowance accordingly.
AS stated, the above related incident
occurred in Indiana, the State of Har-
rison, and the following occurred in

found Ernest and Liz Ernest was
stripped of his clothing and taken out
doors, where his body was covered with
luke-warm tar. A feather bed was
opened and he was rolled in the feath-
ers till he was covered with them. He
was then pelted with eggs and vegeta-
bles and run to the bay, where he sue
ceeded in getting partially clean. He
then returned for his clothes and was

Etta Grove Bitten by a Dog.

The Rockingham Register of last Friday
says
considerable excitement was caused on
that Miss Eta Grove, of Staunton, had been
bitten by mad dog. The young lady had
just arrived that morning to visit her aunt
Mrs. Lang, and stepped across the street to call
on Mrs. Chase. Upon entering the premises
she was attacked by a dog belonging to the

wounds were found to be inconsiderable. AS
the dog exhibited some signs of rabies police
man was sent for and the animal was killed.
No dangerous result is apprehended by the
friends of Miss Grove"

The chief question in this canvass is,
whether we are to have Harrison, the
Force Bill, and political slavery, or
Cleveland, home-rule, and liberty. All
other questions are of minor import

divide our people. This is no time for
third or fourth parties, when the fun

Silver and gold and precious stones
will not cut much of figure in this
campaign. The main point is to elect
a Democratic Administration to pre-
serve our Constitutional integrity.
Financial policies are not so important
as to keep the soldiers away from the
election precincts, and not turn the
voting over to United States Deputy
Marshals. We believe in fair elections,
but they must be free also from the in
timidation and domination of the Fed
eral power. The Republican party
avows its purpose to pass a Force bill
that is enough. 1t must be defeated.

Decay of the TeeIn

Arises from various causes, but princi-
pally it may be attributed to early
neglect or the indiscriminate use Of
tooth powders and pastes, which give
a momentary whiteness to the teeth
while they corrode the enamel The
timely use of that delicate aromatic
toothwash, Fragrant SOZODCNT, will
speedily arrest the progress of decay,
