THE public debt decreased §1,626,760 during the month of August.

IT IS thought the People's State Central Committee will meet in a few days. He will meet at the office of the Indianapolis Sun.

ADVICES from the 3d District are to the effect that Hon. M. C. Kerr, the Democratic candidate for Congress, stands a pretty good chance of being defeated.

THE Democrats of the 12th District of Ohio bal'otcd 529 times for a candidate lor Congress. They were in convention three (lays, and probably got the wrong man after all. His name is A. T. Walling.

THE Vermont election last Tuesday resulted in the usual Republican victory. The entire State ticket and both branches of the Legislature are Republican. Judge Poland, the regular Republican candidate for Congress in the 2d District, was beaten by an Independent Republican.

A SERIES of disgraceful riots and outrageous murders has occurred in the South in the last few weeks. The difficulties in every case are between the whites and the blacks, and the latter are almost invariably the victims. The Cincinnati Commercial's Tennessee correspondent reports 37 murders in three counties in that State since the inauguration of these troubles.

MR. JAMES G. JOHNSON'S temperance friends are claiming that he is as good a friend to the Baxter law as either of the other candidates for the Legislature. But they must remember that Mr. Johnson's party has resolved directly in favor of the repeal of the Baxter law, and that Mr. Johnson is so sensitive to the party lash that in 1869 he suffered a party caucus to drive him into a resignation of his seat in the House to defeat a measure then pending, Will he not do the same way when the Democratic caucus resolves in favor of a united vote to repeal the Baxter law a3 required by the Democratic platform? If a man will resign his seat and put the State to the expense of another election all at the dictation of a party caucus, but little can be hoped of him except what his party resolves on. Mr. Johnson may be willing to go into a legislative caucus of the Democratic members and vote there against repealing the Baxter lav but if the party caucus votes to repeal he will vote to repeal too.

OUR COUNTY.

The general high standing of Mont-1 gomery as a stock raising county is evidenced by the following comparison of returns made by the assessors for the I present year:

L. OS BORN,

The first speech of the day was made by M. B. Waugh, the Independent candidate for Representative. Mr. Waugh explained some of the objects of the Patrons of Husbandry, the chief of which, he said, was to bring the manufacturer and the consumer in the neighborhood of euch other. He deprecated the present practice of shipping our raw material to the East to have it manufactured and shipping the finished article back to the West for consumption, thus entailing the necessity for carrying our grain to the East also for consumers. He spoke encouragingly of the attempt to establish manufacturing enterprises in Crawfordsville. Mr. Waugh failed, however, while thus sustaining the Republican platform, to tell his hearers of the declarations on this subject made in the platform of the Independents, on which he professes to stand. That platform declares that "the price of labor is determined with mathematical certainty in the interest of the capitalist by manufacturing monopolies." If this is true doctrine Mr. Waugh departs widely from it when he proposes to encourage these "manufacturing monopolists."

After a few more remarks followed the dinner, which was a feast in reality. The first speaker in the afternoon was Chris Walkup, who began as usual by saying he would steer clear of politics as far as possible. He pitched into the watered stocks of the railroads with great eloquence and much muscular power. He denounced in unmeasured terms the Legislatures of New York and Pennsylvania for taking Tom Scott's money. He criticised the action of the Commissioners a few years ago in appropriating $125,000 to the I,, B. & W. Railway. The best answer to this part of his speech is the fact that his name appears on the petition got up at the time, praying that the act of the Commissioners in making that appropriation be sustained. The petition, with his name attached, can be found at the Clerk's office.

We notice that Walkup declared for the Reform ticket in his llusselville speech. That is not surprising to the people in Walnut township. Tn his early life he cast his political fortune with the Democratic party, and acted with that party until the repeal of the Missouri compromise. He then left the Democratic party and went into the Republican, making many eloquent speech, es in favor of freedom and free soil, and denounced the Democratic party with all the vehemence he could command for its corrupt and pro-slavery tendencies, We believe it wis in 1858 lie announced himself as a candidate for Treasurer, subject to the decision of the Republican convention. Schooler defeated him in the convention, when he flew all to sticks, threatening to bolt the convention. A few of his best friends told him the future was long and that discretion was the better policy. His ire finally cooled off, and he canvassed the county for the Republican ticket. During the following Winter he wrote a letter to M. D. Manson, which was published in the Buvieiv, asking pardon for his transgression in leaving the Democratic party, asserting that he had been born a Democrat, nursed by a Democrat-

These are six of the best counties in the State. Montgomery stands at the head of the list in the number of horses, is one of the three highest in the number of mules, one of the four highest in the uumber of cattle and hogs, and one of the three highest in tht- number of sheep. In the total of her farm products our county will in a few years head the list in the State.

The Reform Meeting at New Ross. The writer enjoyed the pleasure of attending the "Grand Grange Rally" at New Ross last Saturday. The crowd did not come up to our expectations by fully one half. It would be a very liberal estimate to put it at500. The exercises were enlivened by some excellent music, but consisted for the most part of a series of remarkably inconsistent speeches from some of the apostles of the new "reform" movement.

ic mother and sucked Democratic milk and was ready to bid farewell to the whisky Schoolers and whisky Wilsons. During the following Presidential campaign he made several speeches for Douplas. A few days previous to the election Manson spoke in Beckville. He took Walkup home with hini to hear Dick Prime speak at the Court House that night. When Prime had concluded his speech many calls were made for Walkup. This gentleman was sitting by one of the windows, and when they called for him he jumped out of the window and absconded. Manson sent word into his neighborhood there was some-

thing the matter with Walkup^ so when the day of electiou came Walkup voted a clean and unscratched Republican ticket. A number of men have told your correspondent to be of good cheer, as there was plenty of time for Walkup to light right side up yet.

A Card.

To the Kditovs Ct'axcfonUvillt Journal: I desire to say a word to my Republican friends throughout the county through the columns of the JOURNAL. After the convention was over on the 22d of August I was under the impression that the Secretaries had made a mistake in recording the vote of Madison township by dividing it equally between myself and Mr. Smith. Knowing that Madison cast its entire vote for me and that if this mistake was made its correction would give me the nomination, I claimed this as my right—nothing more. From Mr. Wilson, one of the Secrataries of the convention, I procured the tally Hheetand saw from it that Madison's entire vote had been placed to my credit, but I still lacked two votes of a majority. I concede that I was beaten by a faip majority, and hence am bound by my honor as a Republican to labor for the election of my competitor. As in the past, so in the future 1 challenge any Republican in the county to do more work for the success of the whole ticket than I will do. WM. J. KRUG.

Accepts the Nomination.

Elder C. J. Bowles addresses a card to A. A. llice. Chairman of the Independent District Central Committee, accepting the nomination for Congress. His card is dated Waynetown, August 28, and is as follows:

SIR:—Having this day received notice of the unanimous selection of my name as a candidate for Congress, in this the Ninth District, to fill the vacancy caused by the declination of the Hon. Archibald Johnson, I beg leave to reply that I am not seeking any office in the gift of the people, though I have been placed on the State ticket unsolicited and unsought. That I accepted 1 am now asked to resign that, and accept a place on the District ticket for Congress. After due consideration and consultatio with personal friends, I deem it my duty under existing circumstances to resign the former and accept the place now so generously tendered me.

Respectfully Yours, C. j. BOWLES.

They also have as fine double and single teams as can be found in this part of the State.

Imported Buggies.

Doherty & McClelland, who, as is generally known, were in the main burned out recently, have made arrangements with the firm of Shaw & Co., the celebrated carriage manufacturers of Indianapolis, to supply them with all the work in this line needed, until they have had time lo rebuild and again get in full motion.
