the Court
SHERIFF KIZER left the city last eve. nine ftr a two weeks tour in the West.
THE Old Court House building should be opened early this morning and well ventilated—Journal of yesterday.
A timely suggestion after the assemblage of the "unwashed" the evening previous. Another ventilation this morns ing would havo a sanitary influence on future gatherings.
THE children of tho Christian Sabbath School are to have a social enterlainmont thffl evoning at tho Christian Obapol on Mulberry, between Cth and 7th streets I co cream and other refreshments will be served. No charge for admissioD, and the public aro invited to attend.
CAKRIOATURES.—Some ingenious artist posted up at the Post Office at an early hour yesterday morning, or perhaps the night previous, a couple of carricatures illustrative of Prank Blair's remark in this city, that he "would rather sleep with a negro than a Democrat." They were torn down before eight o'ciock by some exasperated Democrat.
ALMOST A FIRE!—Tho children employed in the torchlight procession last night amused themselves a portion of the time in throwing turpentine balls. One of those dangerous combustibles lodged on the rosideoce of Nimrod C. Sparks, corner of Ohio and Third stroets, igniting the roof. The fire alarm was Bounded but tho lire was extinguishe'd without the aid of tho engines.
PERSONAL.—Will Pound, of tho Cin cinnati Gazette Mr. Coburn, of the Cin oinnati Commercial E. W. Halford, of the Indianapolis Journal: Geo. C. Har ding, of the Indianapolis Sentinel Thos^
Gray, of the Brazil Miner A. T. Lan sing, of the Bowling Green Aurora Borealts: and Murray Briggs, of the Sullivan Democrat, were in the city yesterday, "doing" the Congressional Con vention.
PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT !—Yesterday morning about nine o'clock, a young man named Clapsaddle, was run over at Eaglostield by a freight train, crushing one arm so that it had to be amputated tie also received severe injuries on the head and side. Dr. Preston was immediately brought down from Greencastle and performed the operation. The injuries ai a of such a nature that not much hope ia entertained of saving the unfortunate man's life, lie was about twenty-five years of age, rosided at Putnamville, and was employed as a clerk for R. S. Hill & Co., lumber dealers at Eaglesfield. The accident was caused while making what is termed a "running switch," and the voting man was struck by a portion of the train while his back was turned to it.
WOMAN KILLED !—Tuesday night as the train on the Indianapolis road, due hero at eleven o'clock, was approaching Brazil, it ran over a woman, the wheels severing an arm and a leg and otherwise mutilating the body in a horrible manner, causing, of course, immediate death.— The train was backed up to the 9pot, where was found another woman near the remains, who was so intoxicated as to be unablo to give an intelligible account of how her companion met her terrible death. Suspicions are entertained that there was some foul play connected with the affair: that woman was killed and the dsad body placed on track to cover up traces of the murder. The most probable solution, however, is that both women were prostitutes on a drunken debaauch, and that the woman fell or was asleep on the track as the train passed. The regains were gathered up, and after an invwagntion by a Coroner'sJury, placed in a barrelI and interred.
DOG THIEVES.—A new class of thieves have appeared—dog thieves. A well trained bird dog wiil sell at this time of the year, at a price ranging from $50 to $100, among sportsmen. Within the past two or throe weeks several valuable animals of this kind lmve been stolen from the city. It is suppo?ed the thieves lake the dogs to the prairies, whore one of them will sell for as much money as a good horse. A dog thief is as mean as a horse thief, and our sportsmen bhould chain up their animals and watch the thieve^, and prepare to have them punished.
ATTACHING A FREIGHT TR^IN.—A short time since an enterprising resident of Brazil brought suit ugainst the Terre Haute and Indianapolis railroad, for some damage, the precise nature of which we are not advised, and obtained a judgment The company not answering tho same at the moment, he caused tho Sheriff to at tach a train on the road to secure his pay It was first proposed to attach a passenger train, but it wns found that It would not do to stop a train earring Uncle Sam's mail bags, and a freight train was selected instead. Accordingly on Tuesday night the Sherifl' of Clay county approached the freight train 011 tho Brazil switch and passing a log chain through the driving wheel of the locomotive, locked it to the track. Superintendent Peddle telegraphed to attach instead, a lot of pig iron at the depot, more than enough to satisfy the small claim, until the matter could be arranged but no, ho was ordered to take a train, and nothing less than a whole train would answer the writ in the Sheriff's hands. The trouble, however, was in a short time arranged, trie tram was unlocked and allowed to proceed. Not a lit* eommution was caused 011 the night pas. senger train, coming west, by a report arising that the train was to be attacked each time tho whistle sounded anxious heads popped out to 5iirvay the situation, and tho frightened passengers breathed easier on arriving at Brazil and loarning the true state of affairs.
KMO OR A TIC CONOR ESSIONA CONVENTION.
Pursuant to call, delegations from each of tho counties composing this Congressional District assembled at the Court House yesterday, to put in nomination a candidate for Congress. The attendance was not large but each county was represented. Parke, Vermillion and Greene counties had no regularly appointed delegates the citizens of those counties being allowed to act in tho capacity of sucn.
At 10^ o'clock Andy Humphrey's called the Convention to order and stated that Wm. G, Moss, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee wns unable to be present, whereupon—
On motion of Joshua B. Oley, of Vigo, Judge A. ^B. Carlton, of Lawrence, was elected permanent President.
Judge Carlton on taking the Chair returned thanks for the honor conferred.— He esteemed it an honor to preside over a mooting of that grand old party, which for three-fourths of a century had preserved the liberties of this country. The call to preside was unexpected, and he would not undertake to make a speech.— Said tho nominations at New York were wise and patriotic although not the choice of tho West, ho was satlsflod with the wisdom displayed by that Convention. He eulogised Seymour as a gentleman, a scholar, a statesman and a sober man, devoted to tho Constitution in peace and in war one who would take a firm grasp at the helm of of the ship of State. Ho said the Democracy have a glorious platform on which every man opposed to the bloated, bond-holding aristocracy can stand and in conclusion urged tho abandonment of all ill feoling, and to stand shoulder to shoulder in defonco of the Constitution of our lathers.
On motion of Wm. E. Dittemore, of Owen, A. T. Lansing of the Bowling Green Aurora Boreal is, was mado Secretary and, on motion of Andy Humphreys, of Greene, Murray Brigg?, of the Sullivan Democrat, wa3 appointed Assistant Secretary.

Wm. E. Dittemore, of Owen, nominated Daniel W. Voorhees.
January Convention be the rule in this Convention: Vigo Vermillion 5 Parke 6 Owen 8 Sullivan 11 Greene 8 Lawrence 7 Monroo 1 Clay 8
Total 74 Mr. Ferguson, of Clay, insisted that Judge Franklin be kept in nomination. He said there were same things connected with the conduct of the Indiana delegation at Now York, that Clay County demands should be explained. The peopl were not satisfied with Voorheea' course in that Convention. He had voted the Democratic ticket near forty years, and bad never scratched it, and it was with pain that he stated that with Voorhees as tho nominee, it would be difficult to keep the party harmonioua. On account of this want of unity ho would not be an swerable for the. result, if Voorhees should be nominated,
Mr. Fowler said ho knew Mr. Franklin did not desire his name to be placed in nomination.
Samuel Hamil, of Sullivan, said he was not a member of the New York Convention, but if he had been, he should have done as Voorhees did. He urged Voorhees' nomination, and pledged Sullivan county to endorse the same with a majority of sixteen hundred.
A ballot waB then taken with the following result: VOORHEES. HA] Monroe 7 Lawrence 7 Greene 8 Sullivan -.11 Owen..... 8 Parke 0 Vermillion 5 Vigo 7 Clay 8
Isaiah Donham, in behalf of a portion of the Vigo delegation voting for B. W Hanna, asked that the seven votes' cast for that gentleman be recorded for D. W Voorhees, which mado the nomination unanimous.
On »olion of S. R. Mamill, of Sullivan a Committee was appointed to advise Voorhees of his nomination by telegraph and request an acceptance. The Chair appointed as such Committee: S. Hamil, of Sullivan, S. H. Buskirk, of Monroe, and Ralph Wikon, of Vigo.— [Mr. Voorhees is at Washington. Up to a late hour last evening, no answer had been received.]
The Convention then look a recess until 2 P. M.

Murray instructed by the Com rnittee on Resolutions, presented the fol lowing, which were adopted
WHEREAS, The Democratic party of Indiana, at its State Convention, held at Indianapolis, on the 8th of January last adopted a platform of principles, which fully meets every question at issue before tho people at this time, and is a faithful exposition of the views of the Democracy of this District on those questions, and especially on the subject of retiring the circulation of tho National Banks, and substituting "Greenbacks" therefor, well as the redemption of the 5-20 bonds in the lawful currency of the country.
AND WHEREAS, The Democratic Na tional Convention at New York adopted a platform fully in accord with that of our own State on all questions of Nation al policy, therefore,
Resolved, That we cordially endorse and re-adopt both our State and Nation al platforms
Resolved, That we heartily approve of tho nominations made at New York—recognizing in Govornor Seymour, the tried and true statosman, and in General Frank P.

momentous issues involved in this can vae, demand of them, and our Congress ional, and local nominees^ thorough and vigorous canvas to the end, that Indiana may be redeemed from radical misrule, and made to contribute to the success of our national ticket.
Mr. Fowler, of Owen, wanted the name of Judge Franklin as acandidate for the nomination expunged from tne record but finally withdrew his motion
The business of tho Convention being concluded, calls were mado for Wm Mack of Vigo, who came on the stand Ho thought it unnecessary to talk to a body of Democrats wanted to talk to Republicans, but, nevertheless, did have a good deal to say in the way of the usual slang about bondholders, negro equality, greenbacks, Freedmen's Bureau, high taxes, and what ho saw in New York The National Democratic Platform was the greatest document that ever emanated from the hands of mortal men, and he likened it to tho Declaration of Independence and Sermon on the Mount. He concluded by taking the stupendous con-
tion meeting hold in this city, ha did not think he transcendod his duty—not a d—d bit .of it. Asked bia fellow Democrat" to forgive him if they would do so, then he would ?ay, "I'm d—d sorry we paid $1G,40 for that dispateh—it cost me $1,25, and I'd better spent that amount for flour.''
S. H. Buskirk, of Monroe, was called He excused himself by saying there had already been too much discussion here and elsewhere. At New York the Indiana delegates did what they believed best.— He thought they understood themselves
belter than the people of Terre Haute, and Col. Cookerly was right when he said that dispatch had no effect. He read "the wise men of Tcrre Haute" quite a lecture, and remarked that until they havo shown as much service in the cause as he had, he would not submit to be lectured by such men.
At half-past three o'clock the Convention adjourned sine die.

Wm. A. McKenzie, of Putnam, was called to the Chair, and J. R. Isenhower, of Greene, appointed Secretary.
A call of the counties, showed all present except Morgan. Mr. Buskirk, on behalf of the Democracy of Monroe, nominated John C. Robinson, of Owen county as the candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. There being no other nomination, it was taken by consent, and the Convention adjourned.

For Circuit Prosecuting Attorney, C. C, Matson, of Putnam, was nominated by acclamation, and the Convention adjourned sine die.
THE "ACQUIESCE" MEETING. For nearly two weeks the Democracy of our city and vicinity have been under rigid drill for an "acquiesce" demonstration. By day and night the master spirits among them have been zealously preaching the duty of submission to the decrees of Belmont, "the bloated bondholder," and urging the imperative necessity of ratifying the slaughter of Pendleton and the nomination of the "bondholder" attorney." It was a bitter pill for the Pendletonians to attempt to swallow, and grave fears were expressed that no amount of inspiring fluids would secure its passage through a sound Democrat's seaophagus. .Nor was the nomination of Belmonts' tool the only bitter dose prescribed for the disgusted champions of Young Greenbacks. There was that ranting abolitionist from St. Louis who had previously insulted our Democratic friends in their very teeth by the open declaration that they were not so fit and suitable for his nocturnal fellowship and sweet embrace as "a nigger." How could they "ratify 'him How "acquiesce" in the shame of having their ancient enemy and time-out-of.mind defamer thrust upon their backs as a rider in this hopeless race? They groaned in spirit and gave vent to many a long and piteous wail. But the party lash came down upon their smoking flanks and tbe force of discipline began to tell. No amount of drill, however, could make a sober Democrat hurrah for Seymour and Blair. Some could get as far as Seymour, but not a man of them could get out the name of Blair with less than six glasses of inspiration. Intense disgust was the universally prevailing sentiment.
Thus the case stood and thus it stands, and nothing cau chango its aspect for tho better, aa was clearly demonstrated by the miserable attempt at a torchlight procession last night.
Artists had been employed for several days in the manufacture of torches and transparencies and loud bloviations wore uttered as to the "great sights" that were to be seen and the "big things" that would be done when that procession came out.
Well, at last it came out—of an alley— and filed on Third to Ohio street. And such a procession We venture to say that no country village where ten chim. neys smoke contiguous to a steeple ever saw a procession to matcb it. It extended in a straggling column with huge gapg here and there, a distance of nearly one square and was composed of just one hundred and eight voters—including Coqua's Band, twelve of whom are Republicans— and about two hundred infants frem four years old up to very young manhood. It was indeed a melancholy and moving spectacle to see so many tender pledges o^ conjugal affection plodding the dusty streets with turpentine balls on the ends of beanpoles. We indulge the hope that •one of those little ones were lost, that no family circle this morning mourns tjj^ loss of its little pet on account of tha° "grand demonstration.'' We alio be
leave to suggest that, if any similar occasion should occur hereafter, the nurses of the "little ones," be detailed to follow up the procession with soothing syrup, paregoric and triangular appendages, Humanity at least requires this at tho hands of those who are responsible for tbe care of our infantile population. .rV
The procession bore sundry transparencies such as: "Let while men rule America" "No negro voting 1" "One Constitution, one Curency!" "W fought for the Constitution, not to make niggere our eguels The schoolmaster, evidently, had little to do in fitting the artist who got up the mottoes for his ardent duties.
After the procession had promenaded for a few squares it came down Main street, filed left and filed right, into the Court House yard, and brought up in front of a stand ornamented with the Stars and Stripes and a letter signed EM. Stanton. If Stanton is half so bad) a man as the Democracy try to make him out, it matters not what the letter was for nobody will bolieve it.
By this time something of a crowd had assembled and John T. Scott called tbe meeting to order. Wm.Mack, Esq., read the New York platform, which did not elicit much applause. Willis G. Neff, o* Sullivan, then essayed to speak, but made a most awkwardly bungling perform, ance, repeating four or five times a remark that originated, probably, with his ancestors of a remote generation. Neff soon subsided and was followed by Wm. E. Dittemore, of Owen county, who launched out in true Democratic stylo bellowing so as to remind one of Milton'g line the hollow deep of
"He called «o loud tliat all Hell resonnded." Mr. D. remarked, among other things equally sagacious, that he had "found the pure essence of Democracy hero in Terre Haute." He did not say whether he had found this "pure, pure essence of Democracy at Griffin's or the Planet.
Bert Lansing next "went in," in his usual style, trying to imitate Brick Pomeroy, whom he resembles, except in the trifling matter of Drain. Lansing wants to fight!!
Mayor Cookerly and a few others of the small fry tried to orate but couldn't seem to get much of an offing. They succeeded, however, in making a vast deal of noise, whereat the children laughed and cheered. Taken as a wholei the "demonstration" of last night was a sorry burlesque, and poorly paid for tbe labor and money it cost. The Democracy are mad as March hares. They feel defeat in their very bones, and few of them can speak without swearing very profanely, which is a naughty habit that ought to be checked.

MOST BITTERS of the present day tha are loudly puffed through the newspapers as having great tonic and curative properties aro vile compounds and base impositions, containing no medical virtues whatever,and are really very poor whisky beverages and, instead of acting as a stimulant and tonic, havo a tendency to weaken the stomach by entirely destroying the coating. Tho public should therefore be very cautions, and purchase none but Roback's Stomach Bitters, which have stood the test as a remedial agent for many years, and are really as their name indicato, a stomach bitters, and not a beverage. They combine the properties of the best tonic and a stimulant—a gentle laxative, an efficient anti-blllicus agent and the best stomachic known to the world, and, whon taken in conjunction with Roback's Blood Pills, are the safest and surest preventative against all billious derangements,' thoroughly rogulating the whole system and giving lone to the digestive organs. ^They are highly recommended as an invigorating tonic to mothers nursing, increasing the flow of milk, and for convalescents, to restore the prostration which always follows long-continued sickness they aro unsurpassed. No household should consider themselves safe from the ordinary maladies without these invaluable medicines. They can be obtained of any druggist. jyll-dwlm
