WE are informed that the Democratic candidates for office in this county held a business meeting this morning about 10 o'clock. What transpired, we are of course not able to say, but it is understood they have come to the conclusion that it is about time to go to work in earnest. If Republican candidates would go and do likewise, they would serve themselves and the cause they represent. Let them all be up and working from this time forward, for work, earnest and faithful work is what is needed, and nothing more to insure success.
NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY—We are informed that the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Company will in a short time establish an office in this city. This will be good news to all our business men, who have occasion to use the telegraph, since with its establishment will be a great reduction of rates for dispatches. This is a want long felt, not only here but in all cities, especially in the west. There are many business men, who if they want a few hundred dollar's worth of goods by express, cannot order them by telegraph, on account of the present high rates, and after all are obliged to suffer delay and great inconvenience, by writing letters. We are glad to learn that a good many of our business men are becoming interested in this matter, and are very anxious to have another line of telegraph leading from Terre Haute east. We have reason to believe that the time will not be long until this is done. Let the enterprise be encouraged.
TIIEKH are in this city a large number of boys who are allowed to roam at large at any and all hours of day or night, and it would appear that parents are best pleased when the children are out of their sight. That these boys will soon come to ruin is as certain as that they are allowed to pursue such a course. It is often that boys not more than twelve or thirteen years of age, are arrested on charge of stealing, and out of consideration for their parents, have in many cases been released, after a good lecture by the Mayor, and the advice to go home, seek some sort of employment and become useful. But they do not. How far parents are responsible for the conduct of children of that age, we are not prepared to say, but there is one thing apparent, and it is this, in no cas£ where there are such boys, has that restraining influence been thrown around the child, that a fond and affectionate parent ought, and does exhibit toward a child. Should some wild boy chance to read this, we would say to him, hunt for some honest employment. Work if you only get enough pay to buy your food. Parents should reflect on how much responsibility there is resting on them, when their boys do not make their appearance home, at an early hour in the evening.
THE New York Tribune's correspondent gives his opinion as to the attitude of the French people: I have gone through a large section of France, the war section. It is true that having only traveled by rail, the view I have had is but as hasty cutting up of this portion of the country stfll I find opinions too clearly and evidently marked to make me personally doubtful of the state of public opinion
First. By officers, the war is received as at once their due and greatest boon the Emperor could bestow upon them.
Second. The soldiers with the colors accept it with enthusiasm, in many cases with pleasure.
Third, The reserves who have been out on unlimited leave take it as a terrible duty, which it is their hard luck to have to discharge, Rapidly their opinions merge in those of their comrades.
Fourth. The upper classes, commercial, educated, &c., all talk La France how the Prussians must be beaten how La France should be and is united how it is not patriotic to abuse the government. This being settled, they immediately pull the govenimant to pieces. They say Mexico was the cause of Sadowa. We should have fought, in 1866. In totli, Bismark outwitted our government. The pretext for war is a bad one. We should not have fought until 1871. Still the war was inevitable, and La France must be and is united.
Fifth. Of the peasantry and lower classes of Alsace their attitude is plain and unequivocal. They elect the war. Their homes may be burned, their crops and cattle taken by requisition. Although it must be said they firmly believe that this will happen to their German neighbors over the Dorder, still they acclaim the war—they feie the soldier. Most of them talk German as well as French to be sure that is not saying much. Many of them do not talk French at all. Still, as M. Thiers says, the wise policy of Napoleon has made of them the best Frenchmen in France, and the larger the number of men who speak their own tongue that fall in the first battle, the better they will be pleased.
ON
the 4th of August, North Carolina will elect Congressmen, an Attorney General, State Senators, Representatives and county officer^.

NEW YORK, July 30.—The special correspondent of the Tribune writes from Frankfort, under date July 27, that all civilians in Berlin will be obliged to decide previous to Saturday whether or not to remain, as all railway transportation, except for military purposes, is prohibited after that day. The correspondent reached Frankfort with great difficulty, requiring 36 hours instead of 11, as formerly The whole country is occupied with military preparations, and he found Polish soldiers conspicuously patriotic, and uttering vehement haired of the French,
Prussian, only the landed proprietors and priests are hostile. No outbreak is possible in Polish- Prussia without the concurrence of Russian and Austrian Poles, and France need hope for no assistance from thence.
Everywhere on the road the greatest ardor was shown, and the troops enthusiastically cheered. The beginning of stragetic movements is at hand, and as the German programme is to speedily assume the offensive, a great battle is imminent on French soil.
The special correspondent of the Tribune in Berlin writes on tlie27th, that the volunteer naval service is organizing to protect the coast. Vessels and men are enrolled in the Federal navy. Premiums are offered for destroying French war vessels.

Tho Citizens v§, tl»e Street Railway Company. CHICAGO, July 30.—The United States Circuit Court yesterday rendered a decision denying the injunction asked by Silas F. Miller, of Louisville, .to restrain the Chicago City Railway Company from laying a track on South Clark street.
The company ten years ago, obtained a charter allowing it to lay tracks on this street, and a few days ago, when the street was- being repaired, put in a portion of the track.
Property holders were greatly excited and determined to prevent it, but this decision shows that the ordinance allows the track to be laid previous to next November. Cars will soon run a mile on this street

LONDON, July 29.—The assurances of Marquis de la Vallette, Ambassador of France, in England, to Earl Granville,in reply toBismarck's dispatch, was read in Parliament with general distrust.
There is no doubt whatever that Monday's debate in the House of Commons, will reveal England in an attitude of resolute hostility to designs from every quarter affecting Belgium.
The Caution of Government cannot be maintained much longer without being regarded as timidity. Its supporters will compel a straightforward declaration of Deisraeli's purpose, known in advance to commit the country to a policy which shall force France to let Belgium alone or confront England but no party lines will be drawn on tlii? question at the present crisis.
The Daily News, of to-morrow, will say "There will be no longer any opposition." A unanimous Parliament will recognize but one party, that of country without distrusting the good will either of France or Prussia. It does not do to depend upon either. England must defend herself.

BONAPARTE'S DEPARTURE.
Brief Sketch of the Life of Colonel Jerome Napoleon, Grandson of the Bonaparte who Married a Baltimore Belle.
Colonel Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, son of the late Mr. Patterson Bonaparte, of Baltimore, arrived in the New York Hotel, last night, from Baltimore, with the intention of sailing for France ia the steamship LaFayette to-day. The father of Colonel Bonaparte, as is well known, was the son of Jerome Bonaparte, brother of the first Napoleon, who married Miss Patterson, of Baltimore, and was compulsorily divorced from her for reasons of state, by the Emperor, but without the sanction of the Pope. He afterwards married a Westphalian princess, who was the mother of Prince Napoleon, now conspicuous in connection with French politics.
Colonel Bonaparte was born in Baltimore, and is 39 years of age. During his youth the star of the Bonaparte was in eclipse, and, anticipating a life-long residence in this country, he entered West Point, and graduated in the class of 1862. He immediately entered the United States army as Brevet Second Lieutenant of Mounted Riflemen, and served in the cavalry school for practice at Carlisle, Pa., and subsequently on scouting duty in Texas, at Fort Inge and Ewell.
When Louis Napoleon became Emperor, £ol. Bonaparte's father wishing to obtain recognition as a legitimate member of the Bonaparte family, desired his son to resign and accompany him to France. The young Lieutenant considering that his country especially needed his services, complied. Louis Napoleon received them cordially, as relatives, but as the legitimacy of Prince Napoleon had been sanctioned by French law, he did not accord them princely rank. He appointed the young soldier a Second Lieutenant of Dragoons, and as such he served in the Crimean war, at the battles of Balaklava, Inkerman, Tchernaia, and at the siege of Sebastopol. He was also present at numerous skirmishes, and received promotion to a first lieutenancy.
The Sultan of Turkey presented him in 1855, with the order of the Medjidie, for gallantry and able service, and he was likewise made a Knight of the Legion of
year the Queen of England forwarded to him the Crimean Medal. He was there serving in Algiers, having been transferred to the Chasseurs d'At'rique, in the was against the Kableys.
He was promoted to a Captaincy in 1859, and was engaged in the Italian campaign at the battles of Montebello and Solferino, and in numerous outpost skirmishes. During a part of this period he was on the Emperor's staff", and was decorated by him with theMedaille d'ltalie, and by the King of Sardinia with the decoration of Military Valor. He was transferred to the First Carbineers, and at the close of the
war
accompanied his reg
iment to Tours and Luneville. In 1865 he was made a
Chef
d'Escadron,
or Major of Cuirassers, and in 1867 became a Lieutenant Colonel in the regiment of Dragoons de l'lmperatrisfc, or Dragoons of the Empress.
Colonel Bonapart's present visit to this country was prompted by the death of his father.
He will, on arriving in France, immediately join his regiment. He is a gentleman of five feet eight, with a dark complexion and deep black hair, which is now retreating from the forehead and growing thin at the crown. His face more resembles the present Emperor than that of the present Napoleon, his nose being large and of similar shape. His thick black moustache is a counterpart of Louis Napoleon's well known feature, being waxed into long points at the ends.
The manners of Colonel Bonaparte, as may be supposed, are those of a thorough gentleman, obliging and courtly. He is unmarried. His residence in France is highly agreable to him, and when in Paris'is a frequent gupst of his imperial relative.
NEW ORLEANS has invented an application of India rubber as a motive for the running of street cars. The invention is very simple. It consists in the use of an India rubber band, 520 feet in natural length, stretched out to ten times that length. This is first wound around one drum, so that, as it unwinds, its retractile power propels the car, and in addition, winds it up around another drum as tightly as it was around the first drum, minus the power lost in overcoming the friction of the car. So it winds and unwinds, first upon one drum and then upon the other, until the loss of power occasioned by the moving of the car renders it necessary to wind the thing up, by a renewed application of steam power. Itisclaimcd that it will reduce the expense of running a street car to about one-fifth its present cost, which, if allowed by a corresponding reduction of rates, would reduce city fares to about two cents. It is supposed that the rubber will outlast the car. Several cars are now being constructed to rnn on this plan in» Mobile. In advance of the actual test, the general impression will doubtless be that the invention is a failure.
Two-Story Cars.
Mr. J. K. Vidard, of Paris, inspector of rolling stock on the Western railway of France, has invented a two-story railway car which is intended to do away with a large amount of passenger dead weight. In the car now on exhibition the first, or lower story, is arranged in compartments according to the European style, while the second is narrower, with the seats placed as in this country. The height of each story is reduced as much as possible to guard against top heaviness, and the body hangs so low that the wheels pass under the seats, as in our street cars. Four flights of wrought iron steps extended from the upper to the lower stories, landing on platforms in front of the doors. The dimensions of the car are 26 feet 4 inches, by 8 feet 2 inches, and there are now 26 of them running regularly and safely on the Eastern railway of France. Mr. Vidard claims that in addition to the saving in the first cost of rolling stock, he can effect transportation with a dead weight of 200 pounds per passenger, against 320 pounds per passenger required in other cars used on the continent.

Si. Louis.
ST. LOUIS.—The Times has a long- account of a riot at Shelby ville, Illinois, today, on the occasion of tbe execution of Joseph My res, for the murder of Plebasso Calhoun, about two years ago.
Hubbard Holden, who was to have been hung with the negro, for the same crime, had his sentence commuted yesterday, by Governor Palmer, which created great indignation, as it is asserted Holden planned the murder and actually did the shooting.
It was feared on Thursday night that the populace would attack the jail and release Myers, unless Governor Palmer surrendered Holden to the gallows but through the agency of some influential citizens, better counsels prevailed, and there was a lull in the storm till this morning when it broke out again wiih greater violence.
The mob demanded that both be hung, or that Myers be released. Governor Palmer was vehemently denounced on every hand.
The jail was guarded by upwards of three hundred armed men, and while preparations were making to hang Myers, several attempts were made to tear down the fence enclosing the scaffold, but the assailants were repulsed each time by the guards.
Myers was executed, and in less than ten minutes the mob charged the fence in force and commenced tearing it down but when they discovered that it was too late to save Myers they dispersed, swearing eternal enmity to Governor Palmer. Had it not been for conciliatory speeches by several leading citizens, a frightful scene of bloodshed might have resulted.
John McDonald, Supervisor of Internal Revenue for this district, will publish a statement in to-morrow's Democrat, in which he pronounces certain articles printed in the Leavenworth Commercial in April and July, false and villainous. Ono charge against him is that the transfer of Kansas to this district was for the purpose of suppressing the inve stigation of the alleged defalcation of ex-Col lector John Speer, of Kansas. To this McDonald replies that the investigation will proceed and the frauds probed to the bottom.
McDonold asserts that the articles referred to were inspired by his predecessor that the Commercial and other papers that published the scurrilous articles will have an opportunity of proving in c^urt the charges made against him, and concludes by calling George C. Hume, the responsible editor of the Commercial, a liar, villain, coward and scoundrel.
Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE, July 29.—The Leader publishes a letter to-day, from a member of the Big Horn expedition, dated near Gray Bull River Gully, July 19, five hundred miles fromCheyenne. The letter says they have not gone on a reservation, nor do they intend to do so. All are well, and they are just commencing to prospect.
Mr. H. M. Plumb, who has just returned from Bear River Mines, reports finding the bodies of three more white men, killed by Indians, in North Park. The bodies were identified as those of Josepii Brum, Frank Marion, and old man Scott, all trappers. It is the settled opinion of the best informed that the Utes are responsible for these murders.
Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 29,—William Birkenbend and Anthony Miller, aged respectively ten and twelve years, sons of Peter Birkenbend and John Miller, of Pennsylvania, were drowned in the Illinois river, at Ottawa, yesterday. They drove ahorse, attached to a buggy, into the river for the purpose of watering him, when he plunged forward into deep water and boys and horse were drowned.
Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, July 29.—Two companies of federal soldiers arrived here yesterday, and to-day it is rumored that they were sent for the protection, if necessary, of negro voters at the election next Monday. The negroes vote for the first time, in this city, on that day. Municipal and several State officers are to be elected.

It is reported that a man and boy were killed by lightning, but at this time the rumor can be traced to no authentic source. &

In claiming that his action will be in accord with the treaties and laws they feel they have some reason to hope the negotiation previously entered into between the Duke de Grammont and the Embassy, for the purpose of arranging, as the Chinese Mission have succeeded in doing, with the principal courts of Europe, the basis of a permanent understanding, according to the principles of international law, the negotiations which were so unfortunately interrupted at the moment they were to be crowned with, may ultimately be resumed. Under present circumstances, the Envoys propose to leave to-morrow for Madrid. They will return soon to Paris, and will wait upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to take their final departure.
PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, July 29.—A general movement of the Prussian forces in front of the French line was commenced, and it is evident decisive operations are near at hand. The troops are rushing on to Mayeuce from all directions.
The King bade adieu to his guards yesterday. England's violation of neutrality in supplying articles contraband of war to France is bitterly complained of.
The Berlin correspondence, semi-offi-cial, says, Belgium has been enlightened bv public opinion as to the greed of France and her own interests. If Germany is conquered by France, Belgium is in a position to oblige Napoleon to pursue the war to its legitimate result. If she is firm, Germany will protect her frontiers.
July 29.—Great excitement pre
vails. The news that the Prussians are moving causes a gneral hurrying forward of French operations.
There is little doubt that the main body will strike through Rhenish Bavaria and'an advance of the Prussians on the left is expected.
GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, July 29.—The report of the violation of Luxembourg territory was an absurd exaggeration. A French Corporal crossed the river from Sierch with some fellow-soldiers, in search of tobacco. Their appearance gave rise to the report of an invasion.
The Prussian Government offers a reward of 5,000 thalers to the first soldier who captures a Mitrovilleur.
In financial circles here the projects for a forced circulation of paper money in France are condemned, as equivalent, if adopted, to national bankruptcy.
The German press continues its bitter attacks on England. If their declarations can be trusted, this country has bought her neutrality of Germany at the cost of German ha te.
Earl Granville admitted, in the House of Lords, to-niglit, that he had received a dispatch containing a copy of the secret treaty published in the Times, but he has the assurance of the French Ambassador that the proposals originated in Berlin, and were declined by France.
