The Tennessee Election.

The eltetloli held in TeWiwcc l;rtit Thursday resulted in the uiumjth of the eon*vrvntlvr reimMiean or fnaion ikkvt Skntkk, wjto \f ;I8 LkffiU'hntil Ijr.veriiur .HlwivT IttowlMVi waa clccUtT Uowrtior , dW of the Htate over fchouKs, Uy shout •>O,OOO majority. The canvass was a peculiar one. Boll* candidates claimed to have been regularly nominated l>v the 6tily Simon pure and lona Jide re* puhltuan organization of the State. ;utd each charged the other with working into the interests ol the old rebel element- Sextkk . was supported by ex-I’resident Johnson, Senator IlnoffM otv, the moderate republicans and what few democrat* there are in the State. Stokes received the support ol' the rest, and is said to have been lavored with the little assistance Secretary Boutwki.l and l’oslmastor General Chkskwkm. could render the last week of the campaign. The main plank of the Sknthii platform was unrestricted suffrage to whites and blacks, as advocated by llouace Greelv, while Stokes favored the disfranchisement of all those who aided the rebellion. The legislature elected last Thursday will choose an United States Senator to succeed Uowi.ek. it is understood that Axmkkw Johnson, Emerson Ktiikkihoi:, and llie successful Skntkk, and perhaps others, will he candidates, but as there will be an inllueutiul element in the legislature represented by such antiquated fossils a.-t 15.ui.ev I*eytc»», who, though remaining strictly neutral towards the Federal Doveriimeiit during the civil war, lost sous in the Confederate army, we need not expect them to elect a very progressive man, and need not be surprised if they tiling out some ono not yet spokcu of, whose political career has neither been so wirding or so prominent as that cither of the ex-President or of the ex-Clerk of the national House of Heprescntativcs. That Johnson will not bo elected without a struggle he received plain notice from Sentzr's organ, the Nashville Prut and Times, at least ten days before the State election came off. That party lines were quite coin* plicated in this campaign is strikinjHv manifested ill the cases ot Senator Brown-low's two sons, who were for tho State senate, running on the Sextei: Picket, lloth were defeated though the rest of the ticket received large majorities in both districts.

General Rosecrans Declines the Democratic Nomination for Governor of Ohio.

Hon. A. G. Thckman, Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Central Committee, received the following dispatch last Sunday: “Sax Francisco, August 7. “Hon. A. G. Thurman, I Columbus, Ohio: j “Alter the war, I resigned a very desirable position in the army, and left my State to secure at least the possibility of fuifillityf duties deemed sacred to my creditors and family.— These duties now forbid me the honor of leading the Democracy ot Ohio in the pending canvass. I will send a letter to the committee by mail. “\V. S. ltOnKcktANS.” Tims, without one word of thanks “for the honor,” without an intimation of a desire for their success, or sympathy with the principles advocated in their platform, “Old Uosey” declines their nomination. It must be humiliatin'' to the doO mocracy of Ohio, after conquurmg t heir disgust for the “Lincoln litre-, ling,” “butcher,” “grave robber,” etc., so “much as to yell thentselvoshoarse over his nomination, to have him return a contemptuous'‘“it wont pay” to their urgent elamorings that he assume their leadership.

The Eclipse.

The eclipse was seen at this place under very favorable circumstances, last Saturday evening The sky was cloudless, the air clear, and the weather comfortably cool. Nearly all the phenomenal anticipated was displayed, although not all noticed by any one person. The moon covered about twenty four twenty-fifths of the sun’s diso—appeumi like a globe hanging in the sky way this side—the “beads” were visible—one stlir, at least, (Venus) could be seen—the atmosphere became perceptibly ettolcr—a gloomy, ghastly, greenish-yellow hue overspread all sublunary objects—sounds became more distinctive—gnats and sunset insects swarmed about, chickens gathered towards their roosting places, cows turned their bends homeward; while upon thu human

IwHiity, m tho obaouration uppronched it* inavimum, the feeling of curiosity wan succeeded by one of profound awe, which in some oases amounted to positive fear.

The Eclipse “Done" by Snipe.

Snick fnmisho* ns with the -following particulars of tile eclipse , w hich came under his special observation: According to programme pub- ] dished kt- most of the respectablejournals, pi the United Stales, (| lar- j p< rs’ being only a “journal of civilly, nitnn** lays m» claim to respci-t----nhility) t|ie eclipse came off last Saturday with a very extensive and highly appreciative audience. Ir is very seldom hik-Ii highly “moral and intellectual exhibit ions’’ appear in Jasper county and we were glad to scit.it no largely pat* ionized. . It speaks well for the intelligence of her inhabitant*, saying nuthing of visitors, they having said enough of themselves. Wv ate happy tosav the day was propitious as well as auspicious, the tv eatlier fair and so were the ladies —alter washing their faces. Smoked glass was in general demand with above an average quantity in hands of holders. Some who could n’t smoke their glasses, smoked their pipes; others smoked cigars, (tht)y bought them of Coats’ big Indian.) We got beer glasses with beer ill ’em, but found ’em too cloudy and put them down for (lour whiskey, which brought out “Hailey's Jseml«” (or some other man’s) to perfection. (Jood many of the spectators had their faces eclipsed, after the manner of tlie sun’s, with a number of digits, and like the sun got blaek in the face. It is thought tlie digits over the sun’s face belonged to the Man in the Moon, as it is reported he was s.en to pass there ;rfioiit that tune.

The testimony against Verger was so direct and overwhelming that his counsel were driven to that highly popular plea for the worst of criminals —insanity. A Vicksburg correspondent ol the Cincinnati Commercial elaborates said plea at gtaal length, lie says Verger was the spoiled pet ol a most excellent father; was the Chesterfield and 15eau lirnmmcl of Mississippi in his youth—the scion of a rich, proud family. Hut he was a man of much “imperiousness” of manner, and “an almost overpowering vanity,” of crazy eccentricities,” unparalleled conceits” and “damnable effrontery;” that at the trial he sat “perfectly unabashed” in his handcuffs, and seemed to have no “realizing sense of tho heinconsnea of his offence.” The ingenious correspondent thinks that it ought to be considered, that while Verger formerly had *15,000 per annum to spend, he has lately been pinched up on but *5,000 a year, which poverty had the effect to sour and madden fiirn? And yet, this same wretch, who is now paraded as a lunatic to save his neck, lias been a prominent local politician for years, and one of the leading democrats of Mississippi; was editor of the Mississippian, a member of the Democratic Executive Committee of the State, a delegate to*the convention which nominated Horatio Seymour to the Presidency, and believed, if his party was successful, his services entitled him to a Scnatorship, or a Foreign Mission. He was also a delegate to the Memphis Commercial Convention, and the originator of a scheme of emigration. The witnesses nil testified that they had never dreamed of his being insane, till his attorneys and physicians suggested it. The truth is, he is just as sound brained as any of that class of pro-slavery democrats, to whom he belonged. lie is simply a hardened villain, a dastardly whelp of tlie devil—a thug.—Luportc Union and Herald.

The Conservative Puzzle.

As democratic and republican newspapers are equally happy over the results of the Virginia and Tennessee elections, it Is presumable that the political contests lately decided in those States were not of a partisan character. It is not usual for one jxfiitieal party in this or any other country to rejoice over its own defeat aud the success of its opi>onc;its. We never have had State elections in the United (States before, which were fiercely contested, that resulted satisfactorily to both of the two great political parties outside of the (States in which the elections were held. In this ease, the satisfaction, though central, is not universal. liourhoii democrats luid Jacobin republicans are not pleased with the result. The former are shocked because the n, gro fists been granted civil aud political equality, and the Jacobius ary sadly exercised because tlui ex-rebels are about to regain jxissessiou of the (Southern (State governments. Kay the Bourbons: “Walker and SSentcr are republicans, and declare themselves to be so, and will sustain Grant and act with the majority in Congress, and with the republican parly of the nation.” Bay the Jacobins: “Walker and Benter are democrats. The former was always a democrat, and (Sentei lias betrayed the republieau party in Tennessee into the hands of its enemies. The conservative movement in the Boutli, although professedly a republieau one, is a uiove of the democratic party U> regain ixnver, aud the men controlling it are bitter enemies of the republican'party.” Tiiis is the opinion of the majority of the cabinet, or of the men exmtrolling the cabinet and the I'resident.--They indorsed Wells in Virginia and Btokosdu Tennessee. They proclaim their iiitenlion to make War on the conservatives in Mississippi and Texas. They say they will crush Dent and defeat Hamilton- It is not probable that tlic extremists in the cabinet would regret a radical triumph by fraud . The President, while permitting the patronage and influence of the admintrutiou to be employed in favor of

That tlie democracy tire rightly nninod“tlic unterritied,” is proved l»y the fact that they arc not frightened by this huge divert ion. The -republicans profess to he pleased with it, but there is a ghastly smile attending their rejoicings over this sudden recruiting of their forces, such as Is frequently forced oil the attention of’mi unwelcome visitor, or such ns a man wears when lie attempts lo greet pleasantly what is repulsive to him. It is difficult to understand why. democrats, with whom, generally, tho social virtues are assiduously cultivated, should lie pleased in losing old friends, or why republicans should assume the. countenance of mi underlaker in welcoming new ones. Hy-and-by, we shall all understand the conservative movement. —(Chicago Times.

INDIANA MATTERS.

Peaches sell at three and onethird cents apiece at Delphi. Prof. Wilbur, of I.aporte, is preparing to make a balloon ascension. Nearly 300 reaping machines have been sold in Lake county this year. Dr. Angell, of Carroll county, has a row of potatoes two and oiicquartcr miles long. The Indianapolis SniUucl -ays that Spiritualism is last gaining ground in that city. Praric chicken* arc said to be unusually scarce in Laporlc county, the season having been 100 wet for them. Uev. Mr. Seatvright, of Monticello, has been granted a “leave of absence” for a few weeks, by his congregation. Daguc, of the Monticello Herald, is getting rich. He runs the I’ostoflico and keeps a pea-nut stand. — Y-e-e-p, Hooray! The Journal says “A large troupe of professional thieves, pickpocket* and confidence men are paying Indianapolis a visit.” A Mr. Baum, of Liberty township, White county, died suddenly lasi. Saturday evening from the internal breaking of an ulcer. The Evansville Courier “local” lias been smoking a cigar made irom Syrian tobacco imported at a cost ofsloo a pound, Vice President Colfax, who is represented ns 1 - u poor (!) mail, recently sold two lots in South Bend —one for $11,500 and the other ter ISjoUK. Mr. Wolverton, an old citizen of Big Creek township, W hile county, was thrown from his horse ill Delphi on the third instant and died last Thursday. He was thought to have been the wealthiest man in White county.

The enumeration of the children of Laporte city shows as follows: Number of males between six and twenty-one years, !>00; number of females, 937; number of colored males, 12; number, of colored females, 17; total 1800. Marion county is to vote on the 13th of September on the proposition to donate §150,000 to aid in the construction of the Indianapolis, Delphi rt Chicago Railroad. The former proposition to vote for a tax of three-fourths of one per cent was withdrawn. The New Albany Commercial tells a story of a country girl who rode into that city to do some shopping, and after making what purchases she needed was asked by the exquisite young clerk the usual “anything else, mem, I can do for you?” Her reply “got him” alittle: “Oh, no sir; unless yon will be kind enough to go out and milk th& old mare, I rode her from home without thfe colt.” Last Friday, a negro named Carter, living near Indianapolis, undertook to slidb off a load of hay. Immediately under where he was rolling off another workman was resting with the handle of his pitchfork on the ground, the prongs in the air. The unfortunate man fell npon the fork, the tines of which passed entirely through his body beneath the lungs, coining out at his back. Strange as it seems the wound is not necessarily fatal. The Delphi Journal says “that a parly of‘fast bloods',living in Democrat township, tbis ( county, stopped a carriage Containing an elderly gentleman uiul two young ladids, caused the occupants to alight, and after plunging the old gentleman two or three times into the waters of VfHd Cat Creek then brought him out and made the girls take off their shoes and stockings, roll up their ‘trowsers’ and wade up and down the creek tor their edification. The boys styled this outrage 'huge sport.’ h The Delphi' Journal says: “The citizens of Jefferson township have petitioned the Board of Commissioners for a new vote on the railroad. and. we learn that the Auditor has notified that body to eonI vene on Friday next to consider I tlic petitiou. We learn that the,

town*hip will go largely for the Appropriation.” At tlie election held in July the appropriation wa* only defeated by five votes, in that townships
