I'lIE PARTICULARS : Th j Democracy of Monroe county held -i mooting at tha Court House, on Saturday, to appoint delegates to the State Convention, and tor the j)urpte of reorganizing the Central Conn littee. The delegates had been appointed before we arrived, and Mr. Marlin was talking abor t the Central Committee. Looking aroui d the room, re observed that John It. East was iu the Chair, and that but four townships, Bloomingtor., .i.'erry, Richland and Van Bnrcn, were represented. It was the inteu ;ion of the Democrats, so street rumor had it, to weed out the committei, and cut off entirely seme of the ''Fathers;" hut the old chaps were too much for the rcorganizci s, j and after the boat's crew wan fud, Mesa's.

Democratic vessel. Mr. Marlin made an impulsive speecii, in favor of selecting committeemen from each of the twelve town ships. Mr. P. L. D. Mitchell objected, because he could never get
them together when the interests of the r.ar'.y required that they should meet But Mr. Marlin's suggestion was adopted, and Counselor Buskirk offered a resolution that there shond be one member from each township, excepting the townships
of Perry and Bloomington; that Blooaiington should have five, and Perry three members, and that seven should constitute a quorum. The members of the committee from the ten outside townships, were; soon selected, and when Perry was calieL John Riley, Matthew McPheJ ridge, and B. F. Rogers were chosen. Then came Bloomington. Edward Gregory and Hugh Marlin were accepted, when Mr. Marlin
suggested Jim Rogers, "responsible editor of the Democrat," saying that
tlim was "a clever young man. Counselor Bu.' kirk said he "didn't know about that he was too clever; but hat his paitner, the gentleman from Indian Creek, (East,) would be the proper person," and so the r. e. was snubbed. (Possibly the Counselor is disgusted with Jim because of h s shabby conduct in collecting our fees, and refusing to pay t'aem oven. S. H. Buskirk and John Graham, Jr., were then elected to complete the quota of Bloomington to wr ship. The committee was now full, and a dcud silence fell upou this little

Thus the Fathers triumphed over

The attendance upon the meeting was small, and there was evident
