County Candidates.

Our time and attention having been engaged for the last several weeks, in watching the Congressional canvass, we have not given that attention to our county campaign and county candidates which, perhaps, they deserve.

Our county ticket is headed by William Paddock for Auditor. Every citizen in the city and county, who has lived here any length of time, knows "Bill" Padock. He has lived in this county from the earliest days of its set tlement, until the present time. He has always been an active, energetic and honest man. He has now been Auditor of the county for two years, and has discharged his duties with promptness and the strictest integrity. A better officer can not be found anywhere.

Gordon Lee, our candidate for Sheriff, was born and raised in Vigo county. Is a self-reliant, industrious and honest man. What he is, he has made himself. Upon his past life there is not one stain of dishonor. He was loyal and patriotic during the war, and a good soldier. No one doubts his competency or efficiency. He is a first-class young man, with not one single bad habit, and is every way fitted to make an active, and careful, and honest officer. He is most certainly deserving the office he aspires to.

Morton C. Rankin, the candidate for Treasurer, is a Terre Haute boy, having been born and raised in this city. No one who knows "Mort." Rankin, but knows that he is as full of the right kind of manhood, as an egg is full of meat. The way he has discharged the duties of County Treasurer during the last two years, is the admiration of every one. The county need never fear losing one dollar, or having one dollar misappropriated, as long as Mort. C. Rankin is its Treasuier. Besides all thie, he is coveveJ all over with scars received in the defense of his country npon ha?d fought battle fields. This should endear him to all true Republicans, and everyone, we have no doubt, living in this county, will cast their votes for him.

Theodore Marxen,the Republican nominee for Recorder, is a German, wh» when the war for the Union commenced, entered the ranks as a private soldier, and by his strict performance of duty, was soon promoted to captain. He fought wherever he was ordered to fight and defended his adopted county from its enemies, with the same zeal and heroism that patriots ever defend their native soil. For this, if for nothing else, the Republicans of this county should be warm his support. But Mr. Marxen is an educated German, and every way competent to discharge the duties of this office, and he adds to his capability the essential requisite of strict integrity.

It is unnecessary for us to speak in commendation of Judge Crain. Every person knows the "Judge," and they know too that his court is the terror to .all evil doers in this region. "He cleans out the jail, and punishes offenders with quickness and dispatch.

F. M. Meredith—whom we regret to say is still confined to his room by severe and protracted illness—will make an active, efficient and able Prosecuting Attorney, and that is what this county has wanted for several years past. He is perhaps as well and extensively known as any man in the county, and will, we have lio doubt, receive the republican vote.

B. Wilson §mith, one of oar candididates for the Legislature, is a thoroughly educated, moral, clear headed, and energetic gentleman. He will make just such a representative in the Legislature, as we very much want, and if elected, of which there can be no doubt, he will be a leading and influential member. His colleague, H. H. Boudinof, isayoungand promising member of the bar of this city, and a native of Terre Haute of industrious habits, a good member of society and deserves the place he aspires to.

To the remainder of the Republican ticket, even the Democrats can find no fault. They are all good men and competent.

With this ticket before us, what is the duty of Republicans? Certainly to vote for it. The men are all hone3t and competent, thus possessing the Jeffersonian requirements, and should receive the hearty and active support of Republicans throughout the county.

THERE are 12 brothers and four sisters in aNew York family named Frost and five of the brothers are christened as

Winter Frost, White Frost, Sharp Frost, jftick Frost and Snow Frost.

Additional Local News.

DURING the present session of the Circuit Court, ten divorce cases have been granted, six to women and four to men This is doing a good business in the way of unhitching.

FINGER SHOT OFF.—Policeman Yost was out gunning to-day, and while load .. ing his gun it was discharged, and one of se(?ond

his fingers was shot off. It was quite painful wound.

WE hear of a number of gentlemen who are working with a hearty good will for the office of city Marshal, and hope to get elected. There are three or four on each side of the political question, lively time may be expected.

OMITTED.—It will be seen that the usual amount of telegraphic news omitted in this paper. This is in conse quence of the publication of the speech of Mr. Colfax, which will be found in another part of the paper.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Those who were at the Academy of Music last night were well pleased with the entertainment. Each member of the company acted well, and were greeted with rounds of applause. To-night a big bill will be presented.

IT IS about time the candidates were making arrangements about election tickets. The great length of the ticket makes it necessary that the greatest care should be taken in the printing of them. Candidates will take notice.

5RRE HAUTE having no jail, drunks are stowed away under an old wagon bed. It's generally full, and the fellows under it are generally full, too.—New Albany Ledger.

We have a very good jail in this city. Where the Ledger got its information, we cannot tell.

IN OPERATION.—The telegraph Mills are now in full operation, doing a good business and turning out excellent work. Messrs. Richardson & Giffhoru are the proprietors, and have put the Mills in fine condition. The advertisement may be seen in this issue of the GAZETTE.

THE Mayor had no cases for adjudication this morning. It was quite dry about that court, and lias been during the whole week. The public officers are spoiling for a fight, or something out of which to make a fee to purchase beefsteak

SOLDIERS, recollect that Mr. Voorhees did not deny at Sullivan that he had. called you "Lincoln's dogs." There were too many in the crowd who heard Mr. V. say that in a speech during the war. He will deny it any place else as he did in this city. w,..

A CHAP who sells some sort of stuff on the street corners, collects a cowd each day, and ladies have to get through the jivgd crowd as best they may, ov pass to the other side of the street. The street crossings and side walks, should be kept clear. Policemen should take notice.

DRAPED.—A number of fellows who indulged in a sort of a free fight at a restaurant, a few nights ago, have their eyes dra ed in mourning, and do not "circulate" quite as freely as they did. It may be that they will learn to behave a little better in future.

THE ticket to be voted for on the second Tuesday of October, is the largest that has ever been presented to the people. It will take a great deal of time aod patience to count the ballots, and it may be expected that the returns will come in slowly.

AT Evansville the night before last, Mr. Colfax had the largest audience that has assembled in that city for two years. While he was a candidate for Vice President, he spoke in the Opera House in that city, and it was crowded from pit to dome.

COLFAX.—There

was a large audience at

the Wigwam last night. The Republicans of this city are entitled to credit for toraing out to do honor to the Vice President of the United States. His speech, a great part of which we prvnt in another part of this paper, was a powerful one, and if Democrats were not convinced, it is because there is no such thing as convincing one of the regular died in the wool sort. Mr. Colfax's great popularity w'll draw a crowd anywhere. We repeat, the speech last night was a powerful one.

The Departed Soul.

Heavens what a moment that must be when the last flutter expires on our lips! What a change! Tell me, ye who are deepest read in nature and in God, to what new world are we borne? Whither has that spark—that unseen, incomprehensible intelligence—fled? Look upon that cold, livid, ghastly corpse that lies before you. That was a"shell, a gross, earthly covering, which held the immortal essence that has now left—left to range, perhaps, through illimitable space—to receive new capacities and delight, new powers of conceptions, new glories of beautitude. Ten thousand fancies rush upon the mind as it contemplates the awful moment between life and death. It is a moment pregnant with imagination, hopes and fears it is the consummation that clears up all mystery, solves all doubts—which removes alt contradictions, and destroys error. Great God What a flood of rapture may at once burst upon the departed soul! The unclouded brightness of the celestial region —the solemn secrets of nature may be divulged, the immediate unity of the past, forms of imperishable beauty may then suddenly disclose thefhselves, bursting upon the delighted senses, and bathing them in immeasurable bliss.

Josh Billings thus speaks of a new agricultural implement to which the attention of farmers is invited: "John Rogers' revolving, expanding, unceremonious, self-adjusting self-greasing and self-righteous hoss rake iz now and forever ottered to a generous publik. Theze rakes are as eazy to keep in repair az a hitching post, and will rake up a paper of pins sowed broad kastin a ten akerlot of wheat stubble. .Theze rakes caji.be used in winter for a hen roost, or be-sawed op in stovewood for the kitchen fire. No farmer ov good moral karrakter should be without this rake, even if he has to steal one."

of the typical Gallic cock, combin ing a maximum of confidence with a minimum of intelligibility. Soldiers there are, of no mean fame, such as Gen. Trochu of stainless reputation, and great constructive ability, and Bazaine, of reputation by no means stainless, butof undoubted military honor and talent. Statesmen, too, are left to Fiance, such as might guide the destinies of a period less critical and exceptional but in this, as in every other of the existing departments of State, there is a noteworthy lack of a central figure of sufficient distinctness and power to become the fit exponent of all there ia of self-reliance and patriotism among a great and gen erous people. The real centre of a popu lar government is, of course the people itself. But the people would forever remain an abstraction, unless represented and embodied in the chosen instruments of their will. France wants a man like Cromwell, and she can.only find a Roche tort.

Frenchmen have been delivered from a personal Government which stifled in dividual energy, and demoralized the noblest impulses of the people, only to find themselves in the midst of a crisis which calls for the highest type of individual ability, and which fails to yield the man it ought to have brought forth. There is a pent up energy throbbing in the veins of the new Republic, which one who was at once a soldier, a statesman, and a natural ruler of men, might bring together and direct with irresistible force against her enemies. The men who fought like lions in 1793, and who have since, more than once, stood to be mowed down in the streets of Paris, are not to be ground down by the iron heel of invasion into the position of a nation existing on sufferance. But they need a man in whom the aspirations of a free State could center, and who, like our own venerated Washington, could guide a people through the darkest hour of danger, only to stand as the foremost citizen of a commonwealth in which, in the eyes of the law, all were equal. Every day that the war is protracted on the basis which has been defined as the limit of Prussian demands, it must become more savage and more pregnant with future evil. Let the bitterest disasters that could'well befall a nation be forced upon France, and even when her power of resistance is utterly broken, she will only have become like a freshlycaged tiger, thirsting for the hour of deliverance and vengeance. It would be difficult to say at what point the ability of Prussia to impose her demands upon France may stop short it is not difficult assume that there is a point beyond liich neither policy, humanity, nor the. inalienable rignts of man could warrant them being pushed.—N. Y. 'l imes.

profession without being meddled with. As Stewart's store is said to be a hospital for decayed merchants, because so many bankrupt traders are employed in that house. Brooklyn may be regarded as the rendezvous of pastors without a parish. One of this number has been doing a little business, sometimes up, and sometimes down. One Saturday he found himself almost completely cleaned out. His purse was without a penny, his larder empty, his credit exhausted. On his way home he wentinto a store and asked for a bill of goods on credit until the next week. The storekeeper blandly but firmly refused. The poor fellow went home sadly enough. There was nothing to eat in the house. He called his wife and children together, told them he was penniless, and without food, and added "My dear children, there is no help from man, let us go to God.!' The little household knelt in prayer, and went supperless to bed. Between 10 and 11 o'clock the family were aroused by aloud knocking at the door. The husband went down, and found a gentleman waiting to see him. He was a well known merchant of the city, and knew nothing of the distress of the family, or that the husband was in want. Addressing himself to the occupant of the house, he said: "You may be surprisad to see me here at this time of night. I undertook to go to bed, but I could not sleep. I felt impressed that it was my duty to come here. I tried to shake it off, but I could not, and I am here to see if your family want anything" The man told his story from the fullness of his heart. His friend left with him a sum of money, and promised to see the family early on Monday morning. Late as it was, the relieved gentleman went out for his Sabbath supply, and spent the night in thanksgiving. He believes in direct answer to prayer.

Effect on the Blood.

Dr Stevens, a French physician and surgeon, saw a butcher killing a pig. He observed that he stirred the blood of the animal and added a handful of common salt to it while stirring, which immediately made it crimson, and on stirring

discontinued the blood remained fluid The change of the color, of the blood awakened his curiosity. The butcher could give no explanation of the phenomenon except that it kept it from fellying and spoiling. Dr. Stevens seized £i vcsscL cstu^ht SODOIG blood, -iind made several experiments by putting salt in it, and found that the blackest blood was instantly changed to a bright vermillion by "alt. "Oh," said'he, "here is a fact which may lead to a practical rule."

He had observed in cases of yellow fever in the army that the blood drawn was very black and fluid, and on adding salt it became vermillion and retained its color whereas putridity of the blood is one of the characteristics of the yellow fever He therefore abandoned the usual mode of treating it and gave his patients a mixture of various salts, and in a very short time reduced the mortality of fever in the West Indies from one in five to one in fifty.

A Wrecked Ship in a California Desert. By many it has been held as a theory that the Yuma desert was once an ocean bed. At intervals pools of salt water have stood for a while in the midst of the surrounding waste of sand, disappearing to rise in the same or other localities. A sliort time since one of tnese saline lakes disappeared, and a party of Indians reported the discovery of a "big ship" left by the receding waves. A party of Americans at once proceeded to the spot, and found imbedded in the sands the wreck of a large vessel. Nearly onethird of the forward part of the ship or

ans with food for discussion

COUNT BISMARCK reiterates whenever occasion offers that the Germans fight for future security, not present aggrandizement. In a conversation with a Tribune correspondent on September 18, the day before the conference with M. Jules Favre, he said that "in this war we are influenced by no motive of aggrandizement whatever. We have no purpose in view but our own security but in that respect we must provide against the next war, which is sure to come." In this declaration Count Bismarck expresses sentiments in consonance with every official act and decree which had preceded it. And since utteriug it he has declared the same purpose to M. Jules Favre, and offered as ponditions of peace the very terms insisted upon more than a month ago, before the victory of Sedan. It was then felt, for reasons which Count Bismarck now explains in the conversation alluded to, that the possession of Metz and Strasbourg was necessary to the security of Germany. Though unsatisfied by the victories of Sedan, Toul and Laon and Chatillon, and the condition of Metz and Strasbourg, in demanding more, he has asked only what he claimed in the beginning. Bismarck evidently means to have these forts. He wants nothing more and is'determined to take nothing less.

Humanity on the Battlefield. It is one of the compensations of the terrible European War, that it has made obvious to the world the practicability of the scheme presented a few years since in the convention held at ihe city of Geneva, for the relief of the wounded on battlefields. After a great battle, as is well known, no possible surgical and medical system of a public nature can suffice to temporarily relieve the wounded. Thousands die of ihirst and fever, thousands bleed to death, numbers perish because the needed surgical operation cannot be performed. Take such a battle as that of Borodino, for instance, where seventy thousand dead and wounded lay on the field, or one-third of all the combatants engaged—how utterly impracticable it must have been to relieve even half of the sufferers. But the recent oattles before Metz were even more destructive. On those bloody fields and heights there lay, a few days since, ninety thousand killed and wounded of the French and Germau armies—the latter thrown entirely on the German medical staff, as the French could not encumber themselves with their own wounded.

"Now, my ntue boys and girls," said a teacher, "I want you to be very quiet —so quiet that you can hear a pin drop." In a minute all was silent, when a little boy shrieked, "Let her drop!"

THACKERAY said: "I think I would rather have had a potato and a. friendly word from Goldsmith, than to have been beholden.to Dean Swift for a guinea and a dinner. "BOB, is vour sister at home?"
