THE COUNTY CONVENTION! In the Report of the County Convention held on Saturdaj', June 8th at the Court House the names of the new Central Committee were omitted. The following is the committee appointed by the chairman of the convention at the suggestion of the delegates present from each township V. Q. Irwin, J. W. Ramsay and R. B. F. Peirce of Union township A. T. Steele of Brown township Thomas Elmore of Ripley James Henry of Wayne Wesley White of MadiSon Milden B. Wall, of Sugar Creek Capt. E. P. MeClaskey of Franklin Jesse Fordice of Clark Venire Hostetter of Scott A. F. Kirkpatrick of Coal Creek John W. Sporr of Walnut. The above committee, as will be seen were appointed on the basis of three from Union township and one from each of the out-townships,

The following gentlemen were appointed delegates to the Judicial Convention to be held at Covington at a time to be hereafter appointed—to nominate Common Pleas Judge and Prosecutor: P. S Kennedy, J. W. Ramsay, M. D. White and J. N. McConnell. In the list of candidates nominated, the name of Hannibal Trout, the nominee for County Commissioner, was omitted in last week's issue by some unaccountable oversight.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. The Republican Convention of the Vllth Congressional District came off on Thursday of last week, at Lafayette, and Hon. Godlove S. Orth was re-nominated for a fourth term. Previous to the Convention we urged the qualifications of Gen. Wallace, believing as we did that he could most easily win the race. We were present in the Convention and saw the delegates from the various counties cast the expression of their preference for Mr. Orth. To his nomination we most cheerfully acquiesce. As we have often said, there is nothing in the course of his entire record that we do not heartily endorse and approve. We only desired the nom ination of our own man and desired no change in the course of our representatives. We have never had an unkind word for Mr. Orth. Our personal acquaintance and esteem for him would permit nothing of the kind, and now that he has received the nomination, we propose to fulfill the promise volunteered some time since, to do everything in our power to secure his election. That he will be elected we have not the slightest doubt, and if any of our Democratic friends are flattering themselves that they will have an easy time in the coming struggle, we would advise them to get rid of all such notions before rraking up to the sad reality of an opposite state of facts. Mr. Orth was the choice of a majority of the Republicans in the Convention, and the people in the District, as will be seen next October.

To those of our Democratic friends who became so nervous lest Gen. Wallace should be nominated, we can only say that in all human probability he will pay them his compliments two years hence. Gen. Wallace served a notice on the Convention at Lafayette that he would be a candidate for the nomination in 1870, and from the hearty and enthusiastic manner with which the announcement was received we think he will prove himself the coming man."

GENERAL FORREST.

The Democracy of Tennessee have selected as their delegate for the State at large to the New York Convention the notorious rebel, Gen. N. B. Forrest, of Ft. Pillow notoriety. Just think of Gen. Manaon and Gen. Forrest in the New York Convention.

MR. FITZGERL AND THE AGRICUL TUBAL SOCIETY. Dr. Berryman in his speech in the Republican Convention, stated as a fact that the Agricultural society had been taken possession of by the Democratic party, and good men excluded from offices in the societ}r be cause of their politics. Mr. Fitzgerl, President of the society, in the last number of the Review, publishes a card in which he neither denies the charge or makes a statement of the facts, but retorts by calling hard names. He is veiy cautious not to mention either the charge, made by Dr. Berryman or the facts in the case. We lia^-e taken the pains to look over the list of officers for the agricultural society and find that they are divided politically as follows. The President and Secretary are both Democratic. One of the Vice-Presi-dents is Democratic and one Republican. The Treasurer and Superintendent are Republican, the Marshal Democratic. The Board of Directors stands eleven Democrats and six Republicans. This one-sided organization of the board may not have been intentional, but it is certainly enough to arouse a strong suspicion that there was some design in it. Mr. Fitzgerl will find if he does not already know it, that it is no difficult matter for a man who has a taste for such language, to utter the word "liar," but to get rid of facts is not so easy. The public will be able to see from the facts we have stated where the "lie" comes in. Mr. Fitzgerl did not dare to state what the charge was that Dr. Beriyman had made as to the agricultural society, or the facts concerning the organization of the Board of Directors. Perhaps he can explain how there came to be a majority of two-thirds of the Board of Directors Democratic. Perhaps he can also explain whv Mr. Lemmon, the rble, efficient and carcful Secretary of the Society for many years, happened to be turned out to make room for Mr. Ross, a man without any special qualification at all for the position.

ORANT AS A SPEECH-MAKER. .Since General Grant refused to become a candidate for the PresidenC'3* upon the Democratic ticket, they suddenly discover many imperfections in him, rendering him utterly unfit for that important office. The}' sa}r he cannot make a speech which is one of the elements of fitness. The Confederate General S. B. Buckner now editor of the Louisville Courier, the leading Democratic newspaper in Kentucky, calls particular attention to this fact. The New York Tribune last week published a fae simile copy of one of General Grant's speeches which General Buckner has likely not forgotten and which reads as follows: "HD-QUARTERS ARMY IN THE FIELD,)

CAMP NEAR DONELSON, Feb. 16,1802. Gen. S. B. Buckner, Confederate Army:— SIR: Yours of this date proposing a» mistiee and appointment of Commissioners to settle terms of capitulation, is just received. No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I propose to move immediately upon your works. I am, sir, very respectfully,

Your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT, Brig. Gen,

Gen. Buckner replied as follows To Brig. Gen. U- S. Grant, U. S. Army.— SIR: The distribution of the forces under my command incident to an unexpected change of commanders, and the overwhelming iorces under your command, compel me, notwithstanding the brilliant success of the Confederate Armies yesterday to accept the ungenerous and uncliivalrous terms which you propose. I am, sir,

Your obedient servant, S. BUCKNER, Brig. Gen. C. S. A.

That seemed to be a very effective speech, and one easity understood by the rebel General Buckner. It is the embodiment of simplicity, which is said to be one of the elements of true greatness.

We all recollect the correspondence between Grant and Pemberton before the fall of Vicksburg:

Pemberton.—Gen. Grant, I met you to arrange terms for capitulation. What terms do you demand?

Grant.—"UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER." Pemberton. —"Unconditional Surrender! Never so lonj* as I have a man left me, I will fight rather."

Grant.—Very Well."

It required but little reflection for Gen. Pemberton to comprehend the full force of that brief little speech. He very shortly complied.

Again: On his way to Richmond after the battle of Spottsylvania Court House the General makes another one of his characteristic speeches "We have now ended the sixth day of very heavy fighting, and the result up to this time is much in our favor. I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all $uniiqer."

It is a matter of history that neither of the four generals who have occupied the Presidential chair ever achieved any reputation as orators.

George Washington—and who ever doubted his fitness—could scarcely say "I thank you," upon receiving his commission as commander of the revolutionary army.

The most notorious speech that Andrew Jackson ever made was in these words:

By the eternal, the Union must and shall be preserved.

Does any Democrat #&y that Andrew Jackson was not fit for President simply because he could not make a Dan Voorhees spread-eagle oration

Generals Harrigou and Taylor made no pretense of oratory, but yet were fully qualified for the office of President. The simple truth is the rebel Demoracy can find so little to urge against the fitness of General Grant that they are compelled to resort to such weak inventions and magnify molehills into mountains.

The Convention reassembled at 1 o'clock, and was called to order by the chairman.

Upon the call of the Secretary all the counties responded as being present.

Hon. Henry S. Lane being present in the room was invited b}r the chair to a seat on the platform. His appearance was greeted with loud applause.

The Crawfordsville silver band here gave the convention a taste of their splendid music.

Thomas Underwood moved that this convention go into the nomination for candidates for Congress, which was adopted.

On motion the candidates were required to pledge themselves to support the nominee of the convention.

Thomas Underwood nominated Godlove S. Orth, of Tippecanoe County.

Col. Gould, from Carroll County, nominated "that soldier who for four long"years bravely did his duty in the front and bared his bosom to destruction and death at the hands of the enemies of his country, that gallant soldier, Major General Lew. Wallace, of Montgomery County.''

Mr. Orth also came forward and said he did not believe in pledges, but referred to his course in the past. He had always voted the unscratched ticket, and of course would do so again.

The counties were then called and recorded their votes as follows: No. votes entitled. Orth. Wallace. Benton Boo Carroll Clinton Fountain Montgomery Tippecanoe W arren

Mr. Orth having received a majority of the votes cast was declared dulynominated as the Republican candidate for Congress for the 7th Congressional District of Indiana, which nomination was declared unanimous with three cheers each for Mr. Orth and General Wallace.

General Wallace, being called for, said that he was well aware beforehand as to the result of the contest between Mr. Orth and himself, and accepted it as in the order of things. He however had plenty of friends on the floor, and no man should say that he had gone back upon them, or that he had sold them out. The result of the ballot did not surprise him. As the defeated condidate he had two things left him—"my honor and 'the cause.' No man in the house, in the district or in the State appreciates that cause more than he. He had

six y&ajra in the council

and the field for th.at pa.us.e, and he acknowledged it to-day as nuch as he did then. He appealed to his friends to reject all personal and partisan feeling, and to stand by the friends of Mr. Orth and of the Republican party.

Now that our county tickets, our district ticket, our State and our national ticket had all been perfected, he urged all to get ready for the battle, and at once commence work-^hold mass meetings and do all in their power to sustain the notoinees- HP

knew it was against the laws of the •State to send a challenge, but he would run the risk, and challenge Mr Orth to do more work than he would visit more counties, or make more speeches for the nominee, for the ticket, and for the cause of Republicanism.

General Wallace announced himself as a candidate thus far beforehand for the nomination for Congress two years hence, which annpunce rnent was greeted with tumultuous applause.

At the conclusion of his remarks, three cheers were given for General Wallace.

On motion, the counties composing the Sth Judicial Circuit then proceeded to the nomination and election of a candidate for Circuit Prosecutor. A. D. Thomas and R. B. F. Pierce, of Montgomery County, were put in nomination. The ballot resulted as follows

Boone Clinton Fountain Montgomery Warren

The Committee on Resolutions, by their chairman, then made the following report, which was unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That the Republican Union Convention of the 7th Congressional District approve and adopt as the embodiment of their principles, the resolutions and platform adopted at the late National Union Republican Convention held at Chicago.

Resolved, That Ave endorse the nominees of the National Union Republican Convention, and pledge ourselves to tlieir support: and also to the faithful support of the nominees of this convention.

Mr. Buchanan, of Fountain County, offered the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously: $3

Resolved, That Ave express our confidence in Major General Lew Wallace, of Montgrmery County, as a noble, brave and gallant soldier, as one of Indiana's most noble and patriotic sons, and that Ave Avill ever bear in gratelul remembrance his services for our common country during the the late war against rebellion.

Thomas Underwood, 01 Tippecanoe, offered the folloAving, which

delivered one of his characteristic and eloquent addresses. At thd! conclusion of his remarks three rousing cheers Avere giAren for the old veteran.

The following named gentlemen were appointed a committee to Avait upon Mr. Orth and notify him of his nomination. Benton, Mr. Cowgill, Boone, John Higgins Carroll, David Corley Clinton, Enos Hoover Fountain, James Buchanan Montgomery, General Lew. Wallace Tippecanoe, JohnL. Miller Warren, James Park.

General Wallace, as the chairman, brought forward Mr. Orth and introduced him as the nominee to represent this district in Congress.

Mr. Orth, in accepting the nomination for this the fourth time, coukl hardl}' find words to express his feelings of gratitude. To secure such nomination from so great a political party as is the Republican, was Avorthy an}' man's ambition, but this being the fourth time, the honor is greatly enhanced, and lie felt it deeply. As he had done in the past, he pledged himself to do his duty in the future, and would ever remember the men who had placed him in the position. It was a great personal gratification for him to know that he had already been three times selected as the stand-ard-bearer of the party. That standard had never been trampled in the dust, and on the second Tuesday of October, he expected to bear it aloft again unstained and untarnished. He returned his thanks to General Wallace for the fairness and honor with which he had conducted the canvass against him and said that the General had behaved like the true and gallant gentleman that he is. In regard to impeachment Mr. Ortli said the acquittal of Andrew Johnson was the result of gross coruption—a corruption a great deal more political than it was financial. He reierred to Chief Justice Chase, and said that notwithstanding the high office he held he had never ceased to be a politician, but had dragged h^s official ermine into the dirty slime of politics. The coming campaign he considered the most important of any yet ever inaugurated. It was the last struggle between freedom and slavery. The cause of the copperhead Democracy having failed on the battle-field its leaders had now decided to wage it at the ballot box. It was identical noAV with what it Avas five years ago the opposition are fighting now for what they Avere at Shiloh and Gettysburg. It is a contest whether loyal meiror traitors shall rule—all other issues being for the purpose of deceiving the people. "But principles were bound to prevail oyer men. As showing the status of of the De mocratic party he referred to the recent election of the notorious rebel General Forrest as a delegate to the Fourth .of .Jjjly Convention. That party will make a desperate effprfc to carry the election^ and they have the money to do it with, having made on hiindrpd millions of money out of the whisky ring, fje predicted that before the }s£ of July Congress would reduce the tas on whisky to fifty cents per gallon or l^ess. He had been ac-eus-ed-Sf Mngjn the whisty ring.

He had always voted against a high tax on whisky. One dollar per gallon was the highest he ever voted for. He once voted for twenty-five cents per gallon. The speaker then proceded to speak in eulogistic terms of Grant and Colfax, the nominees for President and Vice-Preident. He didn't like to talk about Andy Johnson, as he din't like unnecessarily to excite himself. He said we had an immense national debt the Democrats didn't like it but it stands there and

The debt is an honest one and must be paid. His constituents must not expect him to repudiate it. He then gave some statistics of the receipts and expenditurs of the government, and said that the strictest economy

It would require too much of your space to enter into a discussion of the merits ot these performances, suffice it to say that it would be scarcely possible to find the same number of performers of like experience that would equal, much less excel, those of this occasion-

The exercises were diversified by music prepared for the occasion by Miss Emma Davis, assisted by her class, et. al., which was a rare treat, for which Miss D. deserves the hearty thanks and praise from the performers and audience, not only for the quality and quantity of music, but for the quiet, unassuming and lady-like dignity with whicl) she discharged her arduous task.
