AGE-HERALD BUREAU,
SELMA. Ala. sept. 17

Mir. w. F. Aldrich, the republican nomi- nee for congress from the Fourth disir.ct, has been iu Selma for the past three days campaig hing.
 It is understood that he is having some trouble in organiz ng and combining the Stevens and Moseley wings of the negro factions in Dallas. Tbere are two distinct committees h the county, representing the respective factions, aud Mir. Aldrich finds strong opposition to the coalition of these two factions.
 The negroes of both sides are showing the white of their eyes through curiosity to know what has become of that republican barrel.
 MT. Aldrich said to a gentleman Satur- day that his election was sure thing; that he would come 10 Dallas with 25O0 major- ity. He said that he would carry Ialladega county by 1000. But when we have granted him all he claims the democratic majority will be something like 5000 votes, since Dallas never gives a majority less than be- tween 5000 and coco. If the republican ticket carries in every county in the dis trict by the majority that Mir. Aldrich claims In each county, Dallas will save the democratic ticket by about 5000. It is yet to be proven that MT. Aldrich will carry more than two counties In the district.
 ONLY JOKE.
 The Atlanta Constitution and Mobile Register are trying to throw more serious light on the eccentricity of Col. Starke Oll- yer in the purchase of his slave in Selma last week than the people of Selma can possibly place upon it, knowing Colonel Oliver as they do. The matter is looked on by the people of Selma as a first class joke aud nothing more. They expect the final outcome of the matter to be the reappear- ance of the "slaveh upon the streets of Selma.
