The Democratic papers throughout the S'.ate arc requested to publish this announcement. w. n. Talbott, Chairman State Central Committee. i: H. Hall, Secretary. (.ood Government the Necessity of the Country. r;i" Cincinnati Uommsrcial has finally fors iken C:i a<k as a presidential candidate, and yielded to tue current in that division of the It public m party which favors the nomination of Chant. In an article upon the subiccf, m iis issue of yesterday, the Commercial says: •• [’here will be very little left, it seems, for national conventions to do next summer. The no'innation that is to win will have been de- * idcd upon before they come together. The ueopic will take the badness into their own It and j , nud by spontaneous expressions of itii ir will, so c inclusively determine the question of tho m-xf presidency that conventions w.!l lie nv-re formulas, and party lines disapr iv in tt-i magic, i f a national uprising for id . u.in 1 good government.” Tins is a tacit admission that the country h is not liul - good government” under the rule of the Republican party, hence the neicisi’y of a charge in the conduct of public all'ilr«, not only in policy but in men, so that very desirable end may ba reached. General (lhast h is not yet given any expression upon n'lestlonsof public policy that manifests any sympathy for the peculiar and distinguishing tenets of Ihe Republican party. It was given mu by the Rrpubllcan press, previous to its publi’alien, that the testimony of General ill: ant before the Judiciary Committee on the siihj'ct of impeachment would satisfy the most ulln radical, that in sentiment and feelini* ho was fully identified with the dominant parry. But the evidence does not fulfill the pn 1 iictlous of the radical press ns to Its character and spirit. It Is evident that General (’.han't does not approve of the congressional reconstruction policy and undoubtedly, If ho could have had his way, the same terms would have been made with an who had engaged in the rebolfWn that were granted to Lkk and his army upon their surrender, and the delay which has taken place in the restoration of the Southern States, for partisan purposes, would have been obviated. Upon this question Goneral Ghan r can not have any sympathy with the It'publican party. There is no doubt but the next I’/cddeutial election will turn upon the financial Issues now bcloro the country. Thn enormous expenses of the Government, when peace prevails and harmony vvonl I, If the radical leaders regarded the public interests, instead of making the perpetuation of party rule their sole object, are becoming so burdensome to the people that they are unwilling longer to submit to the yoke. But uptn financial questions. General Grant seems to have no opinion, or if he has, he Is careful to conceal it. All he has said In regard to the general administration of tho Government Is that ho is wedded to no particular policy, but would favor any measure that would advance the interests of the country. The question arises whether the Republican party will be willing to accept as its candidate for the presidency a m an who has no well defined political status, and who certainly has not said or done anything to favor their partisan measures in the reconstruction of the late rebel States. Negro suffrage Is a plank in the Republican platform. It was made an Issue In the elections which have lately occurred. All the leading Republican papers and speakers took decided ground In favor of that doctrine. Will tho radical leaders ba willing to Ignore that favorite Idea by accepting Grant as their party candidate for the presidency? The nomination of Grant as the Republican candidate would be a virtual surrender of the principles and policy of that party, and it has no other purpose than the hope that such a course would continue the spoil* of power, the immense patronage of the Government, with those who have controlled It for the past six years. The New York TVifttwe,more honest than the balance of Its party,ha* no haeltatlon In saying that the nomination of Grant, unless be places himself squarely on the Republican platform, would be a complete back down, an ingloriousrarrender of all that the party has battled for. Will the representative men of the Republican party submit to such a policy? Will they consent to be thrown overboard, Jonah like, to allay the storm which their doctrines and policy have excited? Will they surrender cherished principles for the flesh pots of power? Th* Commercial says Chase must be given up, and Grant accepted to obtain a " good government.” Then Chass and the Republican party have failed to comprehend the true Interests of the country, and to obtain a " good government,” aa Republican rule Is a failure, there must be new men and a return to the old policy under which the country prospered and progressed aeno other nation ever did.

tion.

Toe Cincinnati A.iqKirsr make* some excellent RuggMtionsiQ regard to the selection of electors by the 8th of January convention in that State, which will apply with equal force to the performance of thla duty by the convention which assembles In Indiana upon the same day. Tho Enquirer suggest that in the appointment of Presidential electors, men shall be selected who are not only good and faithful Democrats, but good speakers, and capable of making a canvass lo the Presidential election of their respective districts, for the nominees of the National Convention. This would give us a great additional force of canvassing ability, that would be strongly felt in the campaign. This policy was always pursued In the Southern States before they were degraded to the rank of provinces, and with great effect. The labor ol canvassing the State in a Presidential election Is Tory groat, and no exertion should he spared to IsereaM the number of vigorous men who will engage In It. By all meant let us have thirteen electors who will take an interest In tho canvass and prove faithful condjntors of ear members sf Cong res i in the work of enlightening the people as to their dutlee la this great erfste of our public affairs. Dst tho olseton bo live non, active and aaergetle, and not dead fossils, who can be of no us* In the campaign.

nntan General Phil Sheridan for President, and Hon. J ssass M sot an for Vteo President. —Tho Democratic members of Congress have abandoned all idonof n caucus at present, and have determined to remain quiet “lookere-on” and witch the program of

events.

—Tho Now York Tribune say a the view* on finance expressed In tho President’s message “are patriotic and wise.” Before ten yean pass over tho head of H. G. ho will confess that those on reconstruction are equally ao. —Senator Wilson declam that tho Republican Congress must have all the States restored to the Union before another election or abandon all hopes of success. He says a party that has not boos able in three yean to restore the Union will not be again trusted by the

people.

—“ Mack,” Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, commenting upon the coming National Republican convention, says: “ An effort is now In progress to secure the admission of Southern delegates. It is believed that all the Southern states which are likely to be reconatructed during the present session of Congress, will be represented In the Convention, and, with very few exceptions, the delegatee flrom them will vote for Mr. Chase aa the nominee. As the case stands, it may be estimated la thla way: Chicago and May will nominate Grant; St. Louis and July will nominate Chase.” ' —The financial letter of Hon. Robert J. Walker is the subject of severe crlticlsm;in the Treasury Department, particularly that part la which he states the wealth of the United States m 1850 to have been seven thousand millions, and in 1860 sixteen thousand millions, and uses this difference as the proper ratio to determine the wealth In 1870. Treasury officials claim that of the sixteen thousand millions In 1860, four thousand millions were destroyed in the abolition of slavery, and three thousand millions more In property of the country during the war. This would leave nine thousand millions, which. If brought to a gold standard, would carry the wealth of the country back to where it was in 1857. Many other points in Mr. Walker's reasoning Is equally unsound. Is n* with Thim?—General Grant says he Is In favor of saving the country in the shortest way under the Constitution. Thad. Stevens says “the entire reconstruction policy of Congress Is outside of the Constitution.” Under such circumstances can General Grant be in favor of the congressional policy of the so-called reconstruction? Thomas Jefferson and James Msdison said that when Congress assumed powers not delegated in the Constitution its acts were null and void. Accepting the admiaaion of Thad. Stevens as correct, they would hold the reconstruction acts as void. General Grant Is for keeping inside the Constitution, which must take him outside of the radical party.—Defroff Free Freet. —The President says a number of good things in his message, but nothing that will be more generally appreciated than this: « Tnere is no reason which will be accepted as satisfactory by the people why those who defend us on land and protect us on sea, pensioners upon the gratitude of the nation, bearing scars and wounds received while in the service; public servants in the various departments of the Government; the farmer who supplies the soldiers of the army and the sailor’s o( the navy; the artisan who toils In the nation’s workshops; the mechanic and laborer who build the edifices and construct Its forts and vessels of war—should In payment of their just and hard earned dues receive depreciated paper, while another class of ther countrymen, no more deserving, are paid In cola—gold and silver.” —The New York Commercial Advertiser, the originator of the General Grant movement in that city, thus reviews the message of the President: “The message of President Johnson is an eminently able state paper. In taste and temper It Is faultless. In the assertion of convictions, It Is fearless. In statesmanship, It Is comprehensive, clear, and In most things sound. The erroneous assumptions and actions of Congress, in reference to reconstruction, are shown up in an un»nswerable argument. And, though unavallingly. If not unprofltably, the President demonstrates the unconstitutionality of the present military reconstruction law. For this truth the people are not yet prepared; but the truth will outlive passion, and ere loeg the people will wonder how It was possible that the fundamental law Was abandoned, and the whole framework of the Government subverted, In a political conflict between Congress and the Executive: Possibly the present, and certainly the next Congress, will be subjected to the mortifying necessity of repealing laws injudiciously passed, and returning Ho plague the Inventors.’ “When tho ambltlone of unprincipled men, and the passions engendered by them, have collapsed and subsided, almost every sentiment and sentence In this message will command general and warm approval.” State Item*. —Corn sells at seventy cents a bushel In Fort Wayne. —An old man from Wisconsin was swindled out of F200 at Fort Wayne on Wednesday, by a pretended brother of Governor Randall. —The South Bend Fegister goes for the Chicago reporters who accompanied Weston, and accuses them of stealing lanterns and

' —But ffiw White men cast their ballots in Jefferson county, Florida, and >f the 1,500 Mgeaae who voted, not one in a hundred could read or write. —The elevating Influence of the ballet upon the Southern negro is strikingly evident in the number of beastly outrages since they cast their first vote. —The negroes of the I aion League in Nankin county, Georgia, are bound by an oath to defend each other in hog stealing. One stolen bog has therefore got nine good radical voters in jail. —Theodore, King of Abyssinia, says “he has made an agreement not to ascend to heaven to fight with God, and God has agreed not to descend to earth to fight with him.” —A dilapidated old darky in Montgomery, while watching the monkey in a menagerie In that city on Friday, spoke thusly: “Dem children got too much eence to come uuten dat cage; white folks cut dar tails off and tet’em to votin’ and makin’ constltcwtion?.” —Negro suffrage is examined by the Presl. dent, and discarded as dangerous to the country. He declares that “no Independant government of any form has ever been successful in the hands of the negroes. On the contrary, wherever they have been left to their own devices, they have shown a constant tendency to relapse into barbarism.” Convicts to nr. Reconstructed.—The Joliet Signal says that the white convicts in the penitentiary were assembled In the ebapd last Sunday, and compelled to listen to a negro preacher. Many of them were so indignant that they hissed and exclaimed, “put the d—d nigger out.” The Signal calls this unusual proceeding by the radical penitentiary authorities “more reconstruction.” Tb* White Man Under the Negro.— The Louisiana convention reports a constituency of two negroes to one white man, the negroes being a majority of 40,000 of the person allowed to register. Forty-four negroes and twenty-five whites constituted the body, and a negro was elected temporary chairman, another black acting as secretary. Here we have the white man under the negro—not figuratively but iu fact. Negro Sovereigns.—Some of the scenes witnessed at the election In Savannah, Georgia, illustrate la a forcible manner the danger attending the use of the ballot by negroes. The Nation, a radical weekly paper published In New York, gives the following incident: On the day when the polls opened in Savannah a delegation of one hundred and twenty colored men came in from the Ogeechee River, marching in military order, and each provisioned with a joint or two of sugar cane and some sweet potatoes. They entered the square where the voting was done, and after casting their ballots, camped out for the rest of that day, the next day, and the next, waiting till they should receive a mule apiece and a deed conveying to each forty acres of land. The Negro Creating Dissensions AMONG the Good Templars.—The inevitable negro has inspired a spirit of dissension in the ranks of what has been hitherto a united and an exemplary fraternity, called the Society of Good Templars, at the National Capital. Some radical members of the body thought to give variety to Its complexion by introducing colored folks, and the result has been that a secession movement has begun on the part of those whites who are averse to social equality doctrines. Several lodges have already surrendered their charters, and a large number of members have withdrawn from the society. A new order of Templars is about to be started, one of the fundamental rules of which will be the exclusion of the American citizens of Ethiopian descent. The Negro or Nothing.—The New York Independent gives the whole programme cf its party thus: “Every national question, save the qr.f-Mon of the negro, might be just as safely rr. . a to tho Democratic party as to the Repuoi.. «u. If, tnereforc, the Republican party throw overboard the negro, wa shall straightway move to throw overboard tho Republican

party.”

If the people cf the country put their own prosperity and success as a nation and a people above a morbid negro philanthropy, they will sustain the Democratic party. If they prefer negro worship to light taxes, a restored Union and national peace and prosperity, they will support the radical cause. This Is the sum and substance of the Independent's

admission.—Detroit Free Frets.

AN Interesting Body.—The following is said to be a correct inventory of the former occupation of the delegates now In session at Huntsville, Alabama, as a constitutional convention under the satrap mle of the grandilo-

quent Pope:

Negro barbers 16 C>ach drivers (white and black) 18 Valets (half and half) 11 Ex-plautation hands ..... 8 Yankee peddlers 14 Freedmen’s bureau men 7 Massachusetts colporteurs 5 Tribune correspondent (mean white) 1 Negro preachers 3 Escaped convicts 2 Loyal Leaguers 2 Total 87 But nineteen of this number are said to be natives “ to the manor born.” The rest are from the North. One of those put down as an escaped convict la said to have his ears cropped, and the other Is branded as a deserter from the Federal army. One of the three negro preachers la alleged to be the Identical individual who fooled the superlatively loyal in New York, in 1864, by representing himself as Jeff. Davia’ coachman, when he was the occupant of a low hovel in West Broadway. These a*e the great men of the

party of M moral ideas.”

Negroes Burrowing in the Ground.— The Vicksburg correspondent of the New Orleans Times says the colored population of Vicksburg take to their burrows m the hills as natural os we “white trash” used to do when Federal shells were flying Incessantly around. The Vicksburg Telegraph says that all over the city snd under the city, huts and -Hmtenots” are to be found. Some are tolerable specimens of architecture, and in them a few colored people might possibly exist, but the majority are very rude imitations ol houses, and in most oi them from half a dozen to “Innumerable multitudes whom no man can count, live and move and have their being.” Many of these men toll not, neither do they spin, but the freedmen’s bureau feeds them. Th* males of these burrows are entitled to vote, and some of them to cabin passage on steamboats; but in general they are as harmless as ground bogs, and equally aa active in habits and agreeable to the smell. In the catfish season these voters fatten and do weD, and in winter they draw rations from the Government and chickens from the neighboring.roosts. In all seasons they are happy and contented; and an inspection of their place of abode will show more filth and less maat than any other habitations in Vicks-

burg.

A Good Juror.—The Charlotte, North Car ollna. News, says: The following is said to have occurred at Union Superior Court: A colored gentleman on the Jury is objected to on the ground of incompeteney. The following questions are propounded by the couosel to the Juror: “Sam, are you a freeholder.” “Yes, ear.” “Have you any land ?’’ “No.sar.” “What do you sasan, then, by saying you are a freeholder?” “I means bein’ free and boldin’ on and so

on.”

“ What Is e verdict, Sam T’ ***<JUU know. »ar. “What laajrUUtiff?” “Dun know, sar.” “WhatIs a defendant?” “I dan know, sar; Fs green ’bout dese things.” Here General Canby’s order waa read, from from which It appeared be was competent; se ,tbe man and brother was duly “eumied” in, .and took hie aeau •Cate Felitice. Clerk of the. Supreme Court.—Several prominent Democrats of this place have requested us to announce the name of D. 1*. Banter, ef Frankfort, as a candidate for Ctorh ef the Supreme Court. We see Hr. Berner mentioned favorably by many of our exchanges, snd we are assured that he is an earnest Democrat and a reliable man, and If nominated will make a vigorous canvass.— Tipton Times. ’A Straw.—At a special election for councilman, in Evansville, for the First Ward, heretofore decidedly K> puMi<*»n, the Democratic chad Id ate, H.

He was by far the most extensive grazier in the L cited States, and his cattle, too, were of the primest. His sheep, the genuine South--down, were counted by tens of thous&nds: tiis Durham horned stock equaled the fame of their rej-al ancestry; and throughout the catalogue of domestic animal creation, it was his ambition to cultivate to the highest degree of perfection. But so long as the horse holds rank in the estimation of the world, so long will the name of Alexander live m gratetul remembrance. A batchelor himself, he will exist In the progeny of a “Lexington,” a “Kentucky,” an “Asteroid,” and scores of others who have given vitality and popularity to the turf. His etalle was represented at every prominent meeting in'the country, and the superiority oi the Alexander stock has

long been an admitted fa”.:.

While his horses have won for others, he himself has never been known to wager a dollar. This, with him, was a matter of principle, for he held that betting upon horse racing was wrong, and that It detracted from the respectability cf the race course by investing it with a gambling complexion. He looked upon these animated contests, where the best blood of Europe ami America contended, at highly beneficial to tbe Improvement of this noble animal, In tending to tbe mist perfect development In breeding, but by.prccept and example he exerted himself to put down tbe ruinous system ol gambling, so universal

where horse racing is concerned.

His death will cast a shadow upon the American turf, and bis loss may almost be deemed Irreparable; indeed, we can not recall one member, however, prominent, who is

able to fill his place.

For some Urns past the well known artist, Mr. James Beard, has been at his farm, or manor house, engaged in sketching the most famous animals of his varied and extensive stock, which will be embodied in a painting of collossal proportion, which the artist has declared shall be the crowning work of his life. The painting will go on, but tbe eyes which it would have most delighted, are, alas!

COLD PKN8.

From the Petersburg, Virginia, Express of Salii i day. TMe marriage of General tv. U. f. Lee. The event of Thursday evening was the marriage, by the R**v. Mr. Crosby, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Gibson, of Major General William Henry Fitzhugb Lee, son of General R. E. Lee, to Miss Mary Tabb Bolling, daughter of Hon. George \V. Bolling, of this city. The ceremony took place at St. Paul’s Chnrch, at eight o’clock, and was attended with every circumstance that could render It brilliant. Tbe respective positions of tbe bride and the bridegroom in society, the former.a dazzling beauty and leader of the bon ton, the latter still wearing the laurels of his war service, illuminated by family prestige, combined to to create a lively sensation, not only among their immediate Mends and acquaintances, but throughout the whole community. The consequence was that tbe church was crowded to overflowing, and bat for the reservation of a sufficiency of space in the auditorium of the church denoted by rosetted ribands across the aisles, and the preservation of order by a strong force of police. It would be difficult to say what would have become of tbe bridal party. Tho people commenced assembling In fro' t of the church fall three hours before the ceremony, and then the rush wa» prodigious. Upon the arrival of the bridal party, the throng still in front of the church gave way ou either side. General R. E. Lee, escorting Mrs. Carr, and General M&hone and lady, were the first to enter tho church, followed by several other ladles and gentlemen of distinction. The bridesmaids, ten in number, splendidly attired, attended by gentlemen, followed, and arrayed themselves in front of the altar. Then the bride and bridegroom entered unattended, and their appearance won the Instant admiration of the vaat throng ef spectators. The costume of Miss Bolling was charmingly beautiful, consisting of a dress of white satin, with a perfectly regal trail, and trimmed in tbe most elegant manner, a white vail d-seending almost to tbe floor, and a wreath rf orange blossoms. The bridegroom was dressed with great taste. The couple proceeded Immediately to the alter, and wero followed by colonel Bolling and lady. The ceremony proceeded, Colonel Boiling giving away tbe bride, tbe bridal party standing meanwhile. Tbe scene was truly grand. At its conclusion the party proceeded to the residence of tbe bride’s father, where the evening was joyously crowned with a magnificent bacqueut. Beat* ml Jubn VS. Kees. John W. Kees, formerly editor of this paper, and a victim of Lincoln’s tyranny, died in the lunatic asylum, at Columbus, on Monday last. His remains were brought to this city snd interred in Forest Cemetery, ou Tuesdsy afternoon. The deceased was a native of Berkely county, Virginia, and was about forty-two years of age. We know not how long he had resided in this State, but suppose at least twenty years. He published a Democratic journal at Wilmington, Ohlo.in 1848,and afterwards, for several years, edited the Democratic Expositor, at Springfield, Ohio. In Auirust, 1859, he took charge of the Circleviile Watchman, which paper he continued to publish until its suspension and his arrest In June,1862. He was chief clerk of the Ohio House of Representatives in 1858-8, snd discharged the duties thereof in a highly creditable manner. Mr. Kees possessed considerable ability and force os a journalist, aad was a zealous Democrat. For his fearless advocacy of Democratic principles and denunciation of Ben. Butler, and other tools of despotism, be was arrested by the minions of David Todd and Edwin M. Stanton, at the instigation of prominent Republicans of this county, snd carried to the Old Capitol prison, at Washington City. Like a band of marauders they forced his dwelling house, at midnight, and after seizing him, placed a revolver at his wife’s head, to keep her qniet until they could search his privato papers and make safe their ex It. When arrested, and for weeks previous, his mind was ik a condition bordering on Insanity, and the excitement of his kidnapping snd Incarceration entirely dethroned his reason, never to be restored. After s brief imprisonment, be was released at the solieitatioa of Hon. S. S. Cox, and soon thereafter taken to the lunatic as? lam, confined a short time, partially recovered, and was discharged. He wandered about In a state of semi-imbecility until February, 1866, when he became wholly demented, snd was again sent to the asylum, where he remained until death come to his re-

lief.
