THE name of the member of the Dem ocratic District Central Committee from

this county is omitted in the report of the convention proceedings. John Lee was selected for that place.

A DEMOCRAT inquires through the JOURNAL this week whether ornot Johnson, the Democratic candidate for Representative, favors the repeal of the County Superintendency law. His name is not Clodfelter either.

JUDGE D. P. VINTON, so favorably spoken of by the LaFayette Journal last week as a prospective candidate for Concress in this District, is out in a card refusing to permit his name to be used in that connection.

SENATOR MORTON delivered a speech at the opening of the political campaign at Terre Haute on Friday evening of last week. Tbe speech is one of the Sena, tor's best. We shall have occasion to quote from it as tbe campaign progresses.

COL. IVES, who keeps the Bates Hosue at Indianapolis, complains through Jhe papers that drunken loafers infest the alley of nights in the rear of his house. As Col. Ives keeps a drinking saloon within the Bates House and furnishes people whisky to get drunk on, he has but little right to complain when he is annoyed by drunkards.

JOHN E. HANNA, of Coal Creek township, appears as being a candidate for Representative before the Democratic county convention and not receiving any votes. It is fair to state that Mr. Hanna's own township instructed for him, but the vote was withheld because he was a Justice of the Peace and ineligible to the office of Representative.

A DEMOCRAT who is supposed to know savs that one of the worst disappointed men here last Tuesday was our own Gen. Manson. The wires were being manipulated to spring his name upon the convention, when the announcement of McCiurg completely disarranged all the triggers. Our informant, who seemed to have an eye on the '"old war horse," said it seemed as though he would sink through the floor.

THE Indianapolis Sun, lately converted iuto an Independent organ, says that Henderson and Mitchell, two of the nominees on the State ticket, must be displaced by men who are not seeking ofliee. It says their efforts at seeking nominations at the hands of the Democratic party exhibit them in the light of officeseekers instead of seekers ot reform. To get the honest men to abandon the old parties is an up-hill business with these ticket-makers.

deutly feel very sore over their defeat in the Congressional convention last Tuesday. The Journal of the (3th says:

There seems to be but one opinion, both as-to the convention and its results. As to the convention, it is universally conceded that it was the most uproarious and disorderly assemblage ever gathered together in the name of any political party for (Congressional purposes in the District. The hall was packed for McCabe with a Crawfordsville rabble, picked up from nobody knows where, who whooped and hallooed in the most approved style whenever he made his appearance.

SEVERAL hundred thousand persons heretofore employed in the various iron furnaces and rolling mills in this country are now out of employment. The reason is the almost total cessation of railroad bnildibg, fully one half of all the, iron made in this country having been consumed by the building ot new roads. These operatives thus thrown out of employment are without the means to purchase their usual supply of farm products, and hence the usual demand for wheat, beef, &c., is slack. We have always thought it bad policy for the farmers to endeavor to impoverish the people who consume and pay for their products.

WIIO HE IS.

Leander McCiurg, the man whom the stubbornness of a few Fountain county Democrats made the Democratic standard bearer in this Congressional District last Tuesday, is a native of Clinton county, where his father still lives. He is about 43 years of age. He studied law at Frankfort when a young man, under Col. John W. Blake. He was raised a Whig, ar.d remained in that party until about the year 1853, when he, together with the late Jas. B. Newton, bought the Frankfort Crescent, a Democratic paper. They run the paper in the interest of the Democracy, and he has continued to act with the party ever since. He remained

FRIGHTFUL ACOIDKNT.—On last Friday afternoon Marion Spencer, son of 15. F. Spencer of Hollandsburg, aged 5 or 6 years, was playing around a horse when from some cause it kicked him on the forehead, crushing the skull. The whole sideot the forehead was crushed in by the kick. Dr. Cross was sent for and dressed the wound that night. Two large pieces of the skull were taken out.

TIIE intelligent fanner who thinks that every rich man in the country ought to be hnng, lives on Greensfork. He now has four year's crops of wheat on baud inclusive of that of this season. He was offered $1.(50 for the first crop but wanted more. The second and third he was offered $1.40 and §1.30 for. He can now sell it all for $1 per bushel and suffer a loss of several hundred dollars by the decline, to suy nothing of the interest on his money. He is a Democrat, and is down on tbe bloated bondholder. When that wheat sprouts lie will come to his senses.— Cambridge City Tribune.
