The Inter-State Sunday School Encampment, under auapices of Stale Kamtoy Scli.nl Association* of Obi-*. Indians, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wart Virginia auti Michgnn, will bv held in n beautiful grove, one mile eoaih of Loveland, Ohio, and Iweutyeae miles north of Cincinnati, on the line of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati A St. Isons railway, from July ISth to !Ust, Ib7B. ('heap excursion tickets to the encampment will b* on sale at alt station* on the line of the ntlsliurgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis milway, good on any regular train during the encampment. .11 fffe believe but one candidate for judge of this district is now talked of. We were informed sometime ago that Mr. Troxwell, of Kentland, a vety clever gentleman and a lawyyr.witli marked ability, would make tkoufLUVaRK this fall for that honorable jvosiup»; toil later reports come to us that he ftp deejkpcd Ip Lc a candidate. . This leaves Judgg.'cflatmnoud alone upon the track, so far an we cmu team, wbete he wttl probably the approrat of ell political conventions.. ~A UHioher of years of personal acquaintance with Mr. Hammond makes us •ioulily sure that there could be no heller man unanimously nominated than the present incumbent, Judge E. I*. Hammond, of lUneselaer. —Qoodlami Rcgisfer. A little cunning t rick is being attempted by the democratic managers to induce an their representative convention at Bradford, next Monday. They will run a cheap excursion train down and back, liopiug thereby to get enough |>eople tog other to huUduxc the White county democrats, make them consent to nominate a Jasper county man for the third consecutive time, ami to appear a* if th* wkol* county was rushing frantically to the new confcdferate standard'. It is a diaphanous ruse for a small amount of cheap capital. Possibly a number of republicans may attend the pow-wow, but they won’t Join the tribe. Cal. I. B. McDonald, of Whitley eounty, wn*n candidate for the democratic nomination for congress in the 12th, or Ft. Wayne district. They hod a red-hot stormy time, and on the 14(1 ballot united upon an old war-time eopperhend by the name of Colcricfc After the 113th ballot the veteran Col. McDonald withdrew from the contest with a heart bowed down with sorrow, and UMtotly exclaimed, “I uni satisfied that no soldier con receive a nomination at the hands of the democracy of the 12th district.”

Several new announcements of gentlemen who are willing to be candidates for county officers, subject to the decision of the republican nominating convention, appear in The.Dsios this week. The democratic ticket already in tbc field is a little 100 weak for any use. It is spoken contemptuously of even by the men who nominated it. It is already a “busted” community, which even the virtues of Turk's bland salt cannot save from decay.
