Tlio majority of (he Governor-elect of Kentucky. Di. Blaokburu, is about 41,000. ~4 »►- The election in California comes off on ‘Wednesday of next week, September Bd. L— The Carroll county Fair will begin Sept. 9th, 1879. $3,000 in premiums ure offered. »♦»-. .Tames H. Hnoddv, ex-Suporintcnd-ent of Jasper county, has been elected Principal of the Earl Park, Benton county, school. .-«♦*- The average radical is almost as furious over Dixon as he was over Lize Pinkston. Lize was a swamp angel, and Dixon was a thief, a murderer. a liar, and a had man generally. The Republican State Central Committee of Maine is demanding of the Radical National Committee more funds, even If it requires another assessment of the Government employees. Dr. Blackburn, guvernor-eleot Of Kentucky, in answer to the charges of the Republican press in relation to his spreading the yellow fever in the Northern cities during the war, says: “Tho statements are lies, and I don’t care a damn for all the Republican comments in Christendom.”

Cesanave, a saddle-colored mombei of tho perjured returning board of Lousiana, was recently in Wash Ington demanding financial relief.— To prevent a “squeal,” which he threatened, the Fraud contributed SSO-), while John Sherman and otder radicals also responded liberally'. Dixon, after firing five shots at Barksdale, at Yazoo, Mississippi, was killed by a shot from the pistol of his antagonist. And now tho radicals say the Democratic parity did it. Bali! .Suppose the radical party 7 tie held responsible for the Beecher-Til ton,Conkllng-Sprague, and DeYouugKalloeh escapades and fracases, what a lioivl would come up from Africa.

Neither of these plans will r lease you from the obligation to pay for it. But write to the publisher, requesting a statement of the amount of arrearages, square it up, and the desire to have it. discontinued can be complied with..

OLD SETTLO RS’ MEETING By an announcement, in to-day’s paper, it will be seen that the Old Settler’s Meeting will not beheld at Mr. Benjamin’s grove as previously an-nouiu-ec. Owing to the fact that water can not be obtained in the vicinity of the grove it has been thought best to change the place of holding it to Rensselaer, where water,-shelter, and every other convenience can be provided. Every pains will tie taken to make the occasion pleasant and prolitablu to those who shall attend. The additional distance from the former place of holding the meeting to this place is inconsiderable, and it is hoped that our Newton county friends will avail themselves of the occasion to visit our town whrt© they will meet with a most cordial reception and enjoy the hospitalities of our citizens. Here is an indication of tho respect in which a brave Union soldier, who dares to think for himself, is held by a stay-at home editor of jeT stalwart Radical sheet. It is an extract from an article in the Dayton Journal con-

oerning Gen. liice: “Cti'H. Kiri' lost ;i leg under circumstances, that it is fair to presume, notwithstanding the present attitude of the general toward thos” that shot It oil, that it was a Unicii leg. The enemies of tit© country shot it off in battle, and it is entitled to the prof&undosr respect and regard of all Union soldieto; for it lies mouldering in a Union grave, but Gen. Rice has abandoned the cause for whieh it was lost, and is now assisting those who shot it off in obtaining control of the Government. We must make a distinction between Hire and his lost leg. He having gone back on his Unjon leg, Union soldiers will go back on him. II it he true that there is a mysterious connection between a man and his lost limb, by which sensations are communicated to the brain,, we have no doubt but that Union leg of Gou. Rice’s is doing some vigorou kicking about this time, at the general’s recreancy to the cause for which it was lost. It will he the verdict of the soldiers that the leg is justifiable in kicking under the circumstances.”
