THE managers of the picnic and festival given last week in behalf of the colored cornet band feel aggrieved at the aTticle published in our last number reflecting upon their treatment of the Virginia Singers. According to their statement, backed up by figures, it seems that we were under a mistake in the matter, botli as to the financial result of the festivities and as to their treatment of the singers. The singers would have been paid, only the proceeds fell about thirty dollars short of meeting the expenses incurred. This explanation will set the boys right before the public.

FOR the first time in the history of the party, perhaps, Scott township had no representation at the Democratic county convention last Saturday. Does this mean that the Scott township Democrats are all going to vote for the Independent ticket

WE have conversed with quite a number of farmers to-day in regard to politi" cal prospects in their respective localities. They unite in testifying to tlie fact that there is considerable dissatisfaction with present political parties in many sections. Many people are undecided vet how they will vote at the coming election We have not found any one, however, who professes to believe that the Independent ticket can be elected.

Tin: Granger picnic at Judson, Parke county, yesterday was a grand success in the way of numbers. The crowd in attendance was nearly 5,000.

Johnson, John Lee, John Courtney, Dan. Evans and Mrs. Dr. Anna Campbell, Terre Haute.

The grand ratification meeting of the "Reformers" to-day opened rather discouragingly. Many who intended to be present came in and put up their horses, to find out that the place of meeting had been changed from Whitlock's grove to the old fairgrounds. Learning of the change the JOURNAL had a reporter at the fair grounds at 11 o'clock this morning. On arriving he found about 25 wagons and buggies, about 100 people, including venders of refreshment®. The people seemed to wear a dissatisfu look, and were giving vent to their disappointment in anathemas of various kinds. Crest fallen Grangers could be easily distinguished by a look of surprise as tiny entered the ground, where, instead of the immense outpouring of the masses they had been led to expect, their eyes lighted upon a sorry and almost disgusted assemblage. Inquiries of each other as to why there were not more present were heard on every side, but were answered with little satisfaction. There was no music, none of that noise and bustle, that precedes an enthusiastic meeting.

The Executive Committee called tl.e meeting to order, and W. H. Durham moved that Mr. Jas. H. HallactasChaiiman. Mr. Hall came forward and said There shall be no duty put before us today but which I shall endeavor to discharge. It is you farmers who are most interested in all the objects for which we have met here to-day. You can hardly realize the importance of the action which we should perform to-day.

On motion of W. H. Durham a proposition to allow the ladies to vote on all questions which might come before the meeting was carried by a few feeble ayes.

Mr. Durham then explained why the committee of arrangements had abandonWhitlock grove. He said the committee found yesterday that the meeting could expect no privileges there. The managers wanted to license whisky shops, and he was afraid the opponents of re!orm would take advantage of this to make capital against the movement. To permit whisky to be sold would make a debauchee meeting out of it. He moved that the sense of the meeting be taken as to the propriety of the change. A vote was taken and the change indorsed, the ladies voting in the affirmative.

At 12 o'clock the meeting adjourned for dinner. In the afternoon the band was employed, and an effort made to get out a

big crowd. Hut somehow there much interest taken in the meeting, lis town was full of people, but liny Akta'i seem to be at all interested in ratifying anybody's ticket.

At a little after 2 o'clock Dr. Slrvia8on, of Greencastle, the orator of Ihednv, was introduced, and as we go to prciw he is speaking iti the mildest manner io a small gathering of careless listeners, most of whom are seated on the ground about his feet. We understand Arch Johnson and J. A. Mounturcto deliver speeches yet.

As a ratification meeting the gathering is a failure in every respect. Thero are not exceeding 400 people on the grounds, all told, and many of them awe there through curiosity. An extra effort wasput forth to make this a grand meeting. This was advertised as the "people'sday. The people were to come in their might and show the corrupt Republicans and Democrats that they mean business. But the people didn't eome. The lew who "massed" around the. speaker's stand were indifferent listeners, wholly lacking in enthusiasm.

If this meeting indicates the strer.gtb of the Independent movement in this county its leaders may a.s welL abandon the field.

Coming Down on a Newspaper. The following preambles and resolutions were adopted by Franklin Grange yesterday:

WHEREAS the loc I iwfftfrarorgan in this county, known n.s the Crawfordsville Review, is by gross misrepresenfci-. tion op] osing every eflort of the people to free themselves from political prejudice and political thraijdom, and

WHEREAS this injustice has been characterized by prejudice instead of principle, by abuse instead of argument, anal by self interest instead of IIOU/JC^ therefore

Resolved, That we, the memCfcrs of Franklin Grange, regard the aforesaid paper as a political organ, devoted entirely to the interests of a politico) pnrt^| and not the interests of the people or tbe Patrons of Husbandry.

Resolved, That we will discontinue said paper unless conducted. upon the principles of truth, bow/t and attua&MNl.

Resolved, That this preamlMI* aicd resolutions be printed in all the papers in the countv. WM. MULLEN,Master.
