Daring the rain on Saturday the earth in the side of a cellar on Third Street, between Locust and Walnut, where Mr. John Reynolds is erectiDg a new building, fell in. The Scnday Tost. The Sunday Post, a new German paper, published in this place, under the editorial control of Mr. Charles Fisher, made its appearance yesterday. We have not received a copy of the paper, but are informed that it is neat in typographical appearance, and filled with interesting reading matter. We wish 3Ir. F. success in his enterprise. A Bad Practice. Boys arc in the habit of bathing at the Lamasco wharf at an early hour of the evening, which ought not to be tolerated. Oa Saturday evening while a lot of lads were engaged in bathing a policeman carried off their clothes and kept them for a while, but at last returned them. This was intended as a warning to boys not to indulge in that practice again. Arrests. Saturday night was a good one for the police officers. No less than six arrests were made. Soma parties in the neighborhood of licit?. fc Ilancy's foundry engaged in a little set-to, and were gobbled by the polite. Some pugilists indulged in a light at Hamburger's, and were gobbled, also. The balance of the cases were ordinary drunks. Before Esquire Emery. Chris' Wagoner appeared before Esquire Emery on Saturday, on charge of having committed an assault and battery on the person of Mrs. Quinn, with intent to commit murder. Wagoner waived an examination, and was held to bail in the sum of $300 for his appearance at the next term of the Circuit Court. He was also held bonds of SUk) to keep the peace. in A Sort of Coincidence. One of the "faithful" at the Democratic pole raisiDg, (as was to have been,) on Saturday night, was heard to remark, " In 1SG-1 we had a War Democrat on a peace platform as standardbearer, and now we have a bondholder on a greenback platform as standard bearer." He did not draw any conclusion, but evidently spoke as if ho. was of the opinion that if that tort of policy failed in 'CI, it would not win in Y8. Recorder's Court. The Recorder had but a slim day of business on Saturday. One unfortunate individ, ual who had indulged in too much tangle-foot was let off easy? considering that ho had no cash to liquidate. A woman named Mary Starkey made complaint that a neighbor's hogs had been eating her geese to the amount of $3, which amount was taxed up against the offending party, with an appropriate amount of cost. W ell Timed. One of the best things produced by the Courier of late was an extract from an article froru the Journal, written last Spring, in which we referred to the disposition manifested in the city election by certain Republicans to vote the Democratia ticket, with the mistaken idea of remedying fancied or real grievances in local matters. We are now reaping the folly of their conduct in a deranged and almost bankrupt condition of city finances, city paper at 20 to 25 per cent, discount, and a general uncertainty as to the future of its credit. We think the Courier had a wicked motive in republishing our article in order to have revenge upon the Democratic Council for cutting down its advertising bills.

s ... L

which we make this morning that this distinguished orator will speak in this city on the 1th of August next will be read by our German citizens with peculiar gratification. Ho is by all odds the first German speaker in America. We predict for him a Eearty and enthusiastic reception by the earnest German Republicans of Evansville. Death from Sun-stroke. On Thursday last, a man, whose name we did not learn, a laborer on the farm of Mr. Decamp, in Union township, was sun -struck, from the effects of which he died in a short time afterward'. Physicians were called, and all efforts to save life were made, but failed. The mortality list from excessive heat is frightful everywhere. The greatest caution should be taken by all. Attempt to Commit Suicide. Yesterday, a man, whose name is withheld by request of his wife, attempted to put an end to his existence, by taking laudanum. He procured several bottles of that article, at different drug stores in the city, and it is supposed took several doses while on Lis way home, each time. On his arrival home the drug was taken from him. How much he took it was hard to determine, but enough td endanger life. A physician was sent for, and antidotes administered. At night there was a fair prospect of his recovery. Family trouble i3 said to have been the cause of the attempt to commit this rash act. The Pole Raising: as was to have been A Grand Failure. On Saturday evening quite a crowd of the "faithful" assembled at the corner of Main and Water Streets to raise a Seymour and Blair pole. The Democratic Silver Band was in attendance and discoursed music for the occasion. The great Moguls of the party were there, ready to tell the people where the enthusiasm should come in, and when to cheer. "Whit." was also on hand, spoiling for a speech. Having but recently returned from the National Convention, something of vast importance was expected from him; at least, it was expected that he would as soon as the pole stood erect, raise his mellifluous voice, and in his mo3t sanctimonious and elegant style, ex plain to the people how, and on what pretext the Indiana delegation desert ed Mr. Pendleton, the hero of the greenback policy, for a 14 bloated bond holder " but, alas, for human expec tations: after about two or three hours spent in preparations, and when all was pronounced ready, and the word for the long pull, the strong j)ull, and the pull altogether was given, something was heard to break. The pole had been raised but about five or six feet from the ground, when the top splice, made of soft wood, broke square off and down came the Demo cratie ." rooster " with a crash. The ar dor of the unterrified was not thus to be dampened. The polo was sawed off at that place, and the " rooster" again attached, though several feet lower down on the pole. After a long while of "fixing," the word for the pull was again given. The workers tugged away right manfully, but the pole would not rise. At length the director of the ceremonies Walked along the line, and in the agony of his soul appealed to the people thus: "Fall in, all you Democrats, and help us raise the pole; and if you are not Democrats, but Republicans, who want to see the pole break, fall in and help u3 any how!" The people did not fall in, and the pole still occupies a horizontal position. When it be came apparcut that it would not be raised, many speculations were in dulged in. Some said that it was a bad- omen, that the failure did not augur well for the future success of the party; while others declared they would not care a d n, but it would be a source of rejoicing to Republicans," large numbers of whom were present. The worst feature about the failure, and the greatest disappoint ment by fir, was that " Whit. ' did not get to make his New York Convention speech. But he will make it yet. W hit, is not to be outdone in that way. Grant and Colfax Meeting at Princeton. The Grant and Colfax meeting at Princeton, , on Friday night last, was largely attended, notwithstanding the excessive hot weather. The meeting was called to order by Dr. A. Lewis, who stated the object of the meeting to be for the purpose of organizing the friends of Grant and Colfax. Rules and regulations were adopted, after which Major Blythe Hyaes, of our city, addressed the large and enthusiastic crowd of people in that earnest and forcible style for which he is characteristic. During his speech he was frequently and loudly applauded. The speech throughout was well received." When he had concluded, L'aptain If. U. doughty, ot our city proceeded to speak in the interests of Grant and Colfax, the great leaders of the Union party ,which speech was well received and loudly and enthusiastic ally applauded. The Grant and Col fax men in old Gibson are working in earnest, and will give a good ac count of themselves at the Fall elections. It is hoped that all the friends of Grant and Colfax all over the country will go to work earnestly. If so a, great victory will be won. Fine Rain. The people of this city were made glad on Saturday about noon by a most generous and genial rain. It was quite heavy, and continued for about one hour, being attended with a heavy wind and terrific lightning and thunder. The im mediate effects of the rain were to lay the dust and to modify the intense heat that had prevailed during the torenoon, the mercury having risea to

100 it 11 o'clock. To ihs couth, ot of us the rain was deluging indeed, within sight of the city, across the point, the rain could be seen falling in perfect torrents. For a short time at night the wind blew a stiff, chilling breeze, causing a person to dodge behind the corners to escape the chilly blast. Yesterday, however, was bot again, with the mercury at 9 - at noon. In the afternoon a dark threatening cloud hung in the southwest and south for several hours, and for a time it appeared highly probable that it would reach this city, but it passed to the south. It pi educed a pleasant gale for a time, however.

Democratic Preliminary Convention. Herculean and Fnsnccossfal Effort to Get Up a Crowd. Ont-ToHDSblp Not It-resentetl. OLD MANAGERS WORK THE WIRES. Ught Mnrimirs of Discord. .A. Hasty Atlfouiriiitieiit. After a week's notice throueh the organ," the Democracy, to the num ber of less than one hundred, met in Convention, at the Court House, on Saturday, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Congressional Con vention and to appoint a Central Executive Committee. The hour appointed was 2 o'clock. At that hour not a person was in the Court room, and but few more in the street, notwithstanding the rain had ceased and the weather was quite pleasant. At a quarter to 3 nineteen persons, including three reporters and two boys, were present, among whom the faces were generally new in Democratic Conventions, siah as A. T. Whittle sey, Ben. Stinson, H. W. Bippus, James F. Welborn, Jim Fitzwilliams, Johnny Burke, George Stackhouse, George W. McBride, Pat. O'BDyie, Joe Shemmell, Peter Maier, Judge Law, C. R. Rudd, el id rmne genu. 2 At 3 o'clock Whittlesey asked Ben Stinson if they had not better go to work, as he guessed all were present who were coming. He, therefore, nominated James F. Walborn for Chairman, who, on taking the Chair, in obedience to a long established ens torn, thanked the people for the great honor conferred upon him. He then stated the object of the meeting, ex pressing the hope that there would be no wrangling or ill feeling engendered, but hoped harmooy would reign. Dr. Lauenstein, editor of the DemoJcraty and John C. Herndon, local of -the Courier, were chosen as Seer taries. A. T. Whittlesey moved that a Com mittee of three be appointed to re port a list of delegates to the Con gressional Convention. Judge Law moved to make the number five, which was agreed to At this moment the Democratic Silver Band commenced playing in the Street, Fitzwilliams having been dispatched as an ambassador to per suade the band to come to the help of the Democracy in raising a crowd. Maier moved a recess until the band should be brought in, but no attention was paid to the motion. 1' lie Chairman, alter consulting with Wilson and Whittlesey, appoint ed the following committee: A. T. Whittlesey, Win. Pruett, Peter Maier, John Gavisk, and A. G. Brown hittlesey thought it would be well to act cautiously, as the meeting was small, and the out townships were not generally represented. The Con gressional Convention was to be held at or near this city, and if the usual custom prevailed of appointing every Doay as delegates, ine city would De able to send 1,000 or 2,000 delegates, and might rule the Convention, aod if, on account of the weather, the Convention should be held in any building, the delegates from this city and county would alone fill the build ing. Stackhouse thought that a ratio of representation should be fixed. Judge Law moved that Capt. Wil lard be added to the Committee on Selecting Delegates, which was agreed to." , Alter lurtner discussion, it was agreed to select twenty-five delegates from Pieeon and five from each of the out townships, when the Com mittee retired and the band entered, followed by fifteen small boys, in eluding Menefee and Jim Scantlin A few other distinguished Demo crats also appeared in the Convention, including Geo. Shanklin, Pat Burke, and Sam. Jones. T -1 T 11 1 Juage Jjaw was cauea on lor a speech, and responded in his usual happy vein being glad, as he always is, or an opponuuity ro aaaress nis fellow Dimecrats," and was particu larly clad to see them goin? to work in earnest, which was the only way to secure victory. He urged vigilance, activity, ar,d the dissemination of sound "Dimecratic documents." He predicted success, as he always does, eulogized the mag nanimity or George H. Pendleton m writing to have his name withdrawn nom the Cnn, ivention, thus securing the nomination of that great statesman from New York, ou. uuuomour." Feeble applause. Pendleton was a great man, and was the first choice of most aJl the people, and he did not understand why he was not nominated or why the Indiana delegation failed to vote fcr him on the eighth ballot TT TT a.: C when their votes would have civen him a majority of all the votes cast in the Convention, and would have secured his nomination. The Judge , is not the only one in ignorance on

this fiubject. He supposed, how-Vess. v"v"

wr ' tu i2a!$2&tei - hs.z dens ths Vest they knew how. The JaJge then " eulogize"-! Sej mour as well as ho could and repeated the silly declaration that heha repeated often before, that if we were to take out the Democratic soldiers from the army which saved the country from the rebellion, that we would hardly have a Corporal's guard left. He closed as usual with an expression of his belief ibat the Democracy would carry this State and Congressional District in October, and elect Seymour in . November. The applause that ensued did not indicate that the faith of the audience was so firm. While the Judge was speaking the audience wa3 carefully counted by two men, who report the number as exactly 93, including reporters, Black Republicans and boys. ', ' The committee returning, reported a list of delegates, which we have not room to publish, but two thirds of the names can be found on any similar list for the past five years. The report of the committee was approved, and the names of the committee were added to the list of delegates. Whittlesey moved that all Democrats present at the Convention should be constituted delegates, which, was agreed to. White then thought of something that hi3 experience in the National Democratic Convention had taught him, and while he thought of it he would move that the vote of the county be cast as a unit in the Convention. SJStackhouse, influenced by his experience of the late Convention, earnestly opposed the motion. If it had not been for this infernal unit rule,

added to the more infernal two-thirds rule, George II. Pendleton would have been nominated for President, and Stack spoko it in a tone and with an emphasis that most clearly indicated that he thought it a "blarsted shame that Goorge was not nominated. George W. Shanklin, in a speech of much earnestness and force, also op posed the unit dodge. Whittlesey replied with like earnestness, declaring that Pendleton never could have been nominated, and that if the Indiana delegation had been free to vote their individual preference, Pendleton would not have received more than three of their votes. - Rudd, to cast cil on the troubled waters, thought it did not make a bit of difference, and that it was of no use to speak of the New York Con vention. No one thought of anybody now but Seymour, and he did not be lieve there was a Democrat that ever did thick of anybody else but Sey mour. Shanklin and Stackhouse replied to Whittlesey again; and Ben. Nurre desired to have hi3 name blotted from the list of delegates, if the unit rule was to prevail. He desired to exercise his own judgment. Lew. C. Stinson favored the unit rule; and George W. McBride, a dis tinguished name in Democratic con .ventions, but who has been in re tiracy for some time past, gave his view?, which were adverse to the units. The vote was taken, and Whittle sey's motion was lost by a very de decided majority. Whittlesey then moved that the County Convention for nominating County officers be held at Hartlein'g grocery on the first Saturday in Sep tember. Willard moved to amend by substi tuting Evansville for Hartlein'e, and Maier seconded the amendment. He did not wish to incur the expense of going ten miles into the country. Stackhouse favored Hartlein's. ;Ile liked Hartlein's. It was a good place. Hartlein had a nice grove and all other conveniences, and it would only cost ?2 to go and come. Whit, wanted to go to Hartlein's for luck. He remembered that two years ago they held a basket picnic, and nominated a ticket near the city, and it had been "licked like thun der," and last year they had gone to Hartlein's and nominated Jake Miller and Tom Bowers, and had "elected them like thunder," and he did not like to have the Convention near the city. The vote" was taken on the'amend ment, which, was adopted, and so Whittlesey was beaten for the second time. It was next agreed that the time of holding the Convention should be fixed by the Central Ex ccutive Committee. Shanklin moved that a committee of five be appointed to select a Cen tral Executive Committee, which was agreed to, and ien. btmson, George W. Shanklin, Captain F. P, Carson, Ira Grainger, and B. F. Williamson were constituied the committee, and were instructed to publish the names of the committee in the city papers, whenit was se lected. Whittlesey then moved to adjourn, which was carried. The Convention was not a formida ble affair, either in numbers, harmony or enthusiasm. Ku Kltjx ix Henderson. A gen tleman, who stopped in Henderson a few nights ago, informs us that while sitting at his window he saw some forty or fifty men, fully masked and disguised, march down the street, apparently led by two or three officers on uorseDacK. ieing a citizen ot v. V 11" e Tennessee, 'and having seen similar parades, he at once recognized them as a company of the Ku Klux Klan. They passed down the street, halting once or twice, but disturbing no one, j so far as he knows.

WHOLESALE FOISONma-r-I i$ I? u.JS Excitement Se hio -Co mic Scenes . From Captain John Triplett, cierk

of the Ollie Sullivan, we learn that Saturday night was a night of fearful excitement and pale-lipped consterna tion in Owensboro, Kentucky. It ap pears that the whole stock of milk supplied to the several hotels had been poisoned by whom, of course, nobody knows, and with what ingre dient had not been ascertained. The result was that every one who partook of the milk was poisoned, and it is as serted that at least one hundred per sons were at the same time engaged in casting up the poisoned milk and other contents of their stomachs, and at each cessation calling for a doctor. The many cases of sudden death superinduced by the terrible heat of the weather, led to the belief that the cholera had suddenly broken out in the city, "and cheeks blanched with terror, and lips grew pale with fear and consternation, and the most fear ful excitement prevaded the city Happily not a single case, we believe, proved fatal, but all seemed to be doing well yesterday, though the ex citement had not. entireiy ceased. Some rather ludicrous scenes are said to have occurred, although at the time of a serio-comie character. Tom Pettitt and Gen. Eli Murray occupy the same room ; both had taken "milk in their'n," and both were taken sick. lotn ran to their re spective windows and commenced calling for the doctor, their crie3 being momentarily interrupted by the upheavals of their stomachs. Bill Ayer had also taken "milk in his'n," but being of a phlegmatic temperament, went to bed and to sleep. The landlord, finding nearly all his guests sick, rushed to Bill's room, and, arousing him from his peaceful slumbers, told him fhat everybody in the house had been poisoned. Ayer immediately reached for a bucket standing near and commenced throwing up his supper, and in a few minutes appeared to be the sickest man in the city. - . . The . Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Of the many hundreds who took advantage of the half-fare arrangement to visit the National Capital and the principal cities of the East, during the past four , weeks, over this great national thoroughfare, in not a solitary instance was any one injured in the slightest. The substantial manner in which the road has been constructed, the splendid and durable qualities of its massive iron bridges and engines, as also the soundness ot the cars, combine to insure safety to the traveling public and-eecure their confidence. Added to this assurance of safety, the road passes through some of the most magnificent mountain scenery on the American continent, which charms the traveler and fills him with the most delightful emotions. . At Harper's Ferry, and in its immediate vicinity, the scenery is picturesque and beautiful. At Cheat Mountain and the adjoining valleys it becomes sublimely magnificent; and to all who behold it, it remains forever a plea sant remembrance. It is not surprising, therefore, that the road is popular and a favorite route with all who desire to visit the East or the city of Washington. The conductors on tho road, with the rarest excep tions, are attentive and polite, and do their best to please those who travel with them. Floral Exhibition. Tbellorticultural and Pomological Society oi' Vanderburgh County propose to hold a floral and fruit exhibition at the Court House, on Friday afternoon, July 29th, at 2 o'clock. It is hoped that every member of tho Society vill not only attend the meeting at that time, but will prepare some article, however trifling it may be, for exhibi tion.

13 H N For oihrr River Tte;n sre TJard Page. The weather yesterday up to noon was nearly clear and very warm, the mercury standing at 98 in the shade at noon.- Saturday night was cloudy and pleasant, and a heavy storm prevailed up the river, the Ollie Sullivan being compelled to lie to at Honey Creek. The wind blew almost a tornado, the lightu ngand thunder were fearful, and the riin fell in torrents. The city was visited with a heavy rain, lasting an hour, and attended with heavy wind an! thunder. The rain seemed to be general, the canopy of clouds being unbroken from horizon to horizon, and there were indications of more rain last night. The air was cool and pleasant after the rain, the mercury having fallen to 78. The river rose about 3 inches since Saturday evening, but was about stationary last evening. Another rise is anticipated, and the prospects of the light-draughts are not so flattering as they were The arrivals and departures since three o'clock Saturday include the Mollis .
