Before the result of this ballot was announced, Monroe changed 10 votes to Matson, whereupon Judge Robinson, of Owen, made motion to make the nomination of Col. Ma'son unanimous. The motion was carried with a will and thus ended one of the most, exciting contests ever witnessed.

The Indianapolis Journal of Wednesday says; About half-past 11 o’clock last night two men walking along New Jersey streets, near the Union tracks, heard groans as of a human being in great agony. Hying on the track twenty feet west of the street they found a man who had been knocked down and run over by a Panhandle freight train. His left leg was crushed below the the knee, and the men who found him, summoning 1 the assistance of the police, carried him 1

Central Committee for District, on motion, was appointed, as follows: Bartholomew—John B. Groves. Brown—R. L. Coffin. Hendricks—H. B. Lingenfelter. Johnson—IV. II. Barnett. Monroe—A. F. Pitman. JIorgan—A, M. Cunning. Putnam—H. B. Martin. Owen—J. W. Kllis. On call of the Counties, for nominations, Bartholomew responded through Hon. Frank Herd, who presented the name of Judge N. T. Carr. Hendricks county presented the name of Dr. Allen Heavcnridge, Mr. 11. B. Lingenfelter acting as spokesman. Judge Robinson, in behalf of the Owen County Delegation, presented the name Judge Frenklin for consideration by the Convention. Putnam County s delegation chose

The Rev. Aleck Cairaway is one of the most eloquent of North Carolina’s colored preachers. His exhortations at camp meetings are wonderfully effective, and he is able to move his audiences at will. But when, on being convicted of stealing a pair of trousers, at Char lotto, he made the greatest oratorical effort of his life to convince the magistrate that the devil alone was responsi bio for the crime, ho found that he had a hard hearer to move. “You say that you was possessd by the devil when you took the pants?” the Justice said. “Yes, sab,” was the reply; “it want me, but do debbil dat was in me.” “Well, then, in order to punish that devil, I will send you to prison for three months.” William Reynolds was so popular among his fellow woskmen, in an Alabama factory, that they bought a watch to present to him.

citcment. The Fifth District is composed of tiie large and wealthy agricultural Counties of Hendricks, Putnam, Morgan, Johnson, Owen, Monroe, Brown and Bartholomew. Colonel Matson was born in Brookville, Ind.; is thirty years of age, and a lawyer by profession. lie is a gentleman of fine abilities, fine appearance and a fine platform orator. His canvass of the District will be decidedly aggressive, and his opponent, whoever he may be, will have no easy task in meeting the gallant Colonel.

time in Libby Prison, he nevertheless found an abundance of time and opportunity to create for himself a magnificent war record. Such are a few of the leading points of Colonel Matson’s career. The Fifth District will not let slip so brilliant an opportunity to be fitly and creditably represented upon the floors of

the Convention, ard the happy effort of Mr, Neff was proof positive that no worthier selection could have been made, as ’he placed the matter so calmly, so plainly and so forcibly before the Convention, that ere he was through he was forced to yield the iloor because of round after round of enthusiastic, ear-splitting and nerve-racking applause, such rs was never heard before in a Congressional Con-

vention in this district.

On motion the balloting was next in order, and we present the result in detail below. In explanation however, wo may say, that Dr. Hcavenridge was withdrawn from the race on the seventh ballot and the vote of that county was carried over to the Matson column, with

one exception.

On the forty-third ballot, and in the ‘interest of harmony’- the delegation from Monroe County, presented the name of Hon. W. R. Myers, but “interest in harmony” did not center on him, e’en though the move was well meant. The balloting still progressed with monotony that was wearing on the patience of the delegates, until the fiftysecond ballot, when*the Owen County delegation retired for consulsation. After quite a lengthy absence the delegation returned to the hall, determined to cast sixteen votes for Matson but his opponents undertook to defeat this decision, so justly reached, by making propositions to double teams and nominate a dark

horse.

The Constitution of Kentucky excludes colored men from juries, no alteration having been made- to make it conform with the fourteenth amendment of the Federal Constitution. Juries have all along been entirely white in that State. Judge Barr, of the United States Court, has decided that convictions by such juries are void. If that doctrine is carried out, all Kentucky convicts can regain their freedom.
