DISTRICT MEDICAL SOCIETY.

Guctig has received a second trial and sentenced to be hung. Tom Ewing asserts with positiveness that he and Rice, with three legs between them, can readily outrun Foster and Hickenlooper with four. The Cincinnati Commercial, republican, declares that the Republican platform of Ohio is a ‘bore.” And the ticket is not a whit better than the platform. “Hickenloope” is the name of the radical candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. He ha# oeen tender, cd a dose of Rice that will make him a sickenlooper on the day of election. _____ There ought to b. “another war” just to sec Tipsy Chandler stand in the streets of Washington again and see tile army “pass through” and “return again.” It would give Blaine another opportunity td Send a substitute, which would be another “touching incident.” We notice some of the Radical pa pars and Congressmen of Indiana now seek to deny that Massachusetts soldiers voted and interfered at the pulls in this State in 1864. At the tune it was a matter of general noto riety, not disputed, and conceded on ah sides as the process by which .he Radical victory of that year was secured.

The Monticello Herald of last week announces the discovery of the dead uody of John Darstler, formerly a resident, of Monticello, near the D lphi road, six miles southeast of that place, on Saturday morning, Bth Inst. Cause supposed to be heart disease. Also Mrs. James McKinney died very suddenly, Tuesday of last week, while in apparent good health. A correspondent of the Chicago Post suggests “Blue Jeans” for the 1 residential nomination, by the Democracy in 1880. While we confess "Blue Jeans” would be a vast ini piovement upon Fraud Hayes and his immediate predecessor, as regards fitness and honesty, yet the Governor < once les, and the Democratic part yof Indiana desire that Mr. Hendricks snail be the nominee. The “rebel yell” made by Senator Morgan on the occasion of unveiling the monument of the Confederate dead at Winchester was couched in the following language: “No sectional s rife now disturbs our country.— We all believe that our form of Government is the best known of men, and is founded upon truth and justice; a Government under one constitution and one ling.”

Wade Hampton made a fair point on Mr. Blaine when he said in reply to the complaint that there were too many Confederate brigadiers in the present Congress, that he regretted t.heiewere not mote Union soldiers in the two Houses, because he had realized that the men who had fought each other in 'Gattie had very little difficulty in understhuding each other when the war was over. The course of some few Democratic papers toward Hon. Frank. Landers is certainty very reprehensible. The same polit y wtis pursued, a few years ago, toward John K. Shoemaker for Auditor of State, and the nomination secured by John B. Stoll, who was badly defeated at the election. Just so soon us such papers become con vinced that they do not comprise the entire Democratic party, harmony in tire process of making nominations will be t.he result, and no matter who the candidate may be, victory for principles will follow. A recent Washington despatch says: “Mr. Ingalls, one of t .e strongest Republicans in the Senate, charged thnt Secretary Sherman did not let the true condition of the treasury be shown. Ho 'said the Secretary kept, ■lO per cent, of the legal tender circulation locked, up in the treasury. Forty per cent, would be $138,697,052, which, added to the $10,000,000 reserve just spoken of, amounted to $148,697,052, which ought to be in circulation now. There was considerable surprise in the Senate to hear such an orthodox Republican as Mr. Ingalls so vehement in denouncing the Secretary of the treasury.” ■ . -4 > ►- ♦ General Steadman s recital of facts before the Ohio Democratic convention sticks in tire throats of the Republican stalwarts. The hero of Chickamauga says: I make another s atement here to day, and there is a living witness in the State of Ohio who was present when Mr. Lincoln made the utterance. The iirst time I ever saw him (Lincoln) was after the battle oi Chickamauga, when 1 was ordered by telegraph to report, in person to him. I went up and called upon him, and Mr. James M. Ashley who is living, heard the conversation Mr. Lincoln took me by the hand, greeting me warmly. He told me he was glad to see me- Still hoi Jug me by the hand, he said to Mr. Ashley; “Brother Ashley,'what would have become of us in this war if it had not been for the fighting DetHocrats of the Northwest?” Mr. Ashley, with a shrug of the shoulders, said,“ Wall. Mr. Lincoln, Idon’t know;” when Mr. Lincoln re plied: “Our rebellious friends would have had their flag floating at the eapitol, sir.” Hesavs: “The truth is, Brother Ashley, that our party is made up, to some extent, of rhe religious and sympathetic elem nt. and they don’t make first-class soldiers." In the fiifie of such testimony the Republican conspirators, with the au-

dacity of a Louisiana liar, refer to Democrats as “traitors.” But those who indulge in such stfifr, the Blaines, Chandlers, ci al, are well understood, and for several years the people have been demanding that the party they represent shall take a back seat. — The receipts of the Cantata amounted to S4B 25, of which S3B 00 has been applied as payment on organ—-the remainder being devoted to expenses and decorating the graves in churchyard in honor of Gen. Vanßensselaer, who very kindly gave them two dollars for a rehearsal, and the promise of ten dollars whenever they deem proper to make use of it. Determined to earn their organ, the Sabbath School has, in Mr. Vanßehsselaer’s name, offered the ten dollars to the Church for repairs and painting, if the members so desire. The little ones, not wishing to be excelled by the larger members of the Sabbath School, have expressed a desk e to give a literary and musical entertainment next month, and thereby try to raise balance due on organ. The committee take great pleasure in thanking the young ladies who so kindly gave time and attention to their rehearsals: To the Ladies Orchestra and the Band who so willingly tendered their services: To MrsLudd Hopkins and Mrs. S. P. Thompson, for their patient and untiring help: To each, who so readily lent an assisting hand in securing the success ot tne Cantata. The young ladies also tender their thanks to the public for their kind patronage and compliment of a second night’s entertainment.
