THE DEMOCRACY took down their speaker's Btand in the Court Houso square early yesterday morning, and hauled the lumber away. Is it possible that the monitor demonstration Saturday evening had such a discouraging effect as to induce this.

A COUPLE MORE STRAWS.—On an eastern bound train on the^Terre Haute & Indianapolis roaI, Monday a vote was taken by a Democrat, with the following result: Grant 68 Seymour 35. Yesterday morning on the return another vote was taken resulting: Grant 50 Seymour 23.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Yesterday morn, ing about eleven o'clock, William Van Brunt, a bridge carpenter, son of policeman Van Brunt, while atwork on the St. Louis Railroad bridge, just beyond the draw, slipped and fell some thirty feet on the rocks below, causing a fracture of two ribs and other injuries from which he now lies in a very critical condition.

JAMES BAKER, the eldest of the two engaged in the assault on one Frowley several weeks since, and who immediately left for otter parts, was brought before the Mayor yesterday, and pleading guilty to the charge of assault and battery, with out the intent to kill, wa3 fined in a small amount. Frowley, tho injured man, has entirely recovered and departed for some other locality.

ARTICLES of association of the Mitchell Bloomfiold and Terre Haute railroad company were filed in tho office of the Secretary of State Monday morning. Theproposed road will commence at Mitchell, Lawronco county, and run through the counties of Lawrence, Greene, Clay and Vigo, to this city, a distance of about eighty miles. The capital stock of the company is two millions of dollars, divided into forty thousand sharos of fifty dollars each. Tho directors for tlie first year are: Joseph Lyons, Jason N. Conley, John Jonos, Henry Irons, llonry Van

Dyke, William Mason and Marcus II. Shryer.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.—By tho recent report of Mr. Boaucbamp to the County Commissioners, we see that ho is paying full retail price? for food and other articles used by paupors. Wo mention three or four items, such as Coffee at 26c., when hotels obtain their supply at 23c. Shoulders 16jc., can bo obtained at 14c. Bacon is put down at 20 cents, when a single pound can be bought at that price Tobacco 75@85c. shows that tho paupers are treated to a good article 60 cents is paid for Popper, when it can bo bought at 40 cents per pound. We could go on through the list, but the forooing shauld be sufficient to awaken an inquiry on tho part of tax payors.

THE WHITE BOYP IN BLUE.—Many good people who despair of ever seeing tho names of the Whito Boys paraded in print, expected that yesterday, on the occasion of their picnic at Early Grove, a procession would be formed, as is usual with all other organizations, and thus the composition of the W. s. would bo made visible. But in this all were disappointed. Tout's Band after parading about tho streets, led by a Marshal in uniform, red sash and sword, proceeded to the ground, and the W. B's one by one, did the same. Of the proceedings at the ground we cannot speak, not being pro vided wilb a card of admission, although we learn that during the day, in the at tempet to secure a crowd, tickets were freely given away.

Since the abovo was in type we have learned from a gentleman who was pres ent that the entire "crowd" on the grounds daring the day did not exceed two hundred and fifty. General Reuben C. Kise introduced Ex-Governor Thomas E. Bramlette, of Kentucky, with (w remarks. The latter gentleman w&s ?o coldly received and felt the chill from Maine so badly that he "frosoout aft trying to got through his exordium and subsided in about ten minutes from tho time of commencement. Thomas and Reuben both leit the city in deep disgust as soon as they could get transportation

FlSMUfK APPLIES the COLD STEEL.

If any one has heretofore supposed that the spirit o£ loyalty which -jtoimated breasts of the patriotic people of this city and county, in common with their compatriots of the loyal north, when the grip .of Democratic treason first fastened upon the nations throat in 1861, the spirit which austained the government throughout that long and terrible struggle for national life, the spirit that bore our triumphant armies from Sumpter to Appomattox, from a dark and doubtful beginning to a bright and glorious end of the, war which the Democracy denounced as "a failure," the spirit that, oh one grand wave of patriotic fervor bore the imperilled Republic to victory over the graves of half a million Democratic traitors if any one has heretofore imagined Piat spirit to have lost a shade of its intense vitality, the glorious demonstration, the vast uprising of tho loyal masses, the swelling tide of loyalty, which was. witnessed in our city on Saturday evening, was more than sufficient to set all doubts at test, to confirm the most wavering faith, and to convince alike the friends and enemies of free government that Terre Haute and Vigo county ace still as true to that great cause, for whiqh patriots died and christians prayed, as they were in those never*to»beforgotteo days when their union men and women*' were wont to meet together to rejoice over, and thank God for the victories achieved by the brave Boys in Blue over the marshalled hosts of the rebellious Detboo- •, .« -gjj racy. •,».'

No political demonstration of any party ever before occurring here haseven|approached this in numbers, and such intensified enthusiasm as swelled loyal hearts and burst in irrepressible shouts from loyal lips on Saturday evening was never "dreamed of" in the "philosophy" of even those happy few who have eyes and ears only for the bright side and the auspicious omens of political affaire. The most extravagant anticipations were eclipsed in the actual reality, while prognostications that seemed but the pleaBing delusions of enthusiastic dreamers were far surpassed by real, tangible facts. And when we take into consideration the combination of unfavorable circumstances against which all this was accomplishedtbe most sober, prosaic, matter of fact witness is compelled to admit that the firo of '61 still burns with an unquenchable flame on the permanent altars of patriotism that have been erected bore, and that this fire i3 destined to consume tjie last vestigo of tne spirit of rebellion and to usher in, with'ita pure light, the day of final Republican triumph over the combined hosts of Southern rebels and thoir Northern "Democratic" ?allies.

The first and most serious-of the obstacles encountered was bad weather. Every one knows that rain, mud and a lowering, threatening sky are generally quite sufficient to effectually'check every attompt at a torchlight proc®ssion or an out-of-door meeting. Yet, for several days prior to and including last Saturday there was a continued struggle between clouds and sunshine each holding sway at alternate intervals and sometimes. both operating together. Before night on Saturday the heavens became obscured with dense clouds which occasionally contribted a few drops of rain and constantly threatened a heavy storm. While this was tho case in the city, it was much worse out of town. In Honey Creek and other townships adjacent thereto, rain fell in torrents for a considerable time.— Another circumstance that caused still more annoyance was a scarcity of torches. By dint of great exertion nineteen hundred lamps andlantorns were procured, besides those improvised by the boys for their own use, but even this large number fell far short of suppiying the demand, and hundreds were left without the necessary means of participating in the pageant

DECORATIONS.

Long before dark the preparations "to decorate business houses and private dwellings commenced and never before was the Prairie city bedecked in such gay plumage. Red, white and blue tissues ribbons, and flags, wsro used ia eA^enons quantity, ail lit up by thousands upou. thousands of gis jets, lamps and candlesMain street especially presented the appearance of a river of fird. Unusual- taste ^and ^liberality was displayed in 'the character and "jo^nr

Our note book is full, but were we to

This perhaps, is sufficient, as we doubt if thero was scarcely a reader of this paper bu was on the streets to soo with their own eyes.

Chief Marshal Gilmore and is corps of able assistants formed the rocession without confusion and in much lless time than is usually occupied on similar occasions. Tout's Band took the |right of the column next came the ^Troopers from Sugar Creek Township, [numbering about one hundred and forty

Honey Creek Troopers, 80 strong, came next Lost Creek, Linton and Prairieton [Troopers folio wed, and small delegations of mounted men from other town, ships, brought up the rear of the first division. The Battalion of Fighting

Companies A and B, of the Young Grant Tanners occupied their appropriate place at the left of the column. The line of march was promptly taken up.and the vast processioh—formed four diae£ and in close or&et, yet extending a distance of fourteen squares—moved North on 8th to Chestnut, West on Chestnut to 7th, South on 7th to Main, West on Main to 2d, South on 2d to Ohio, East on Ohio to 3d.

The ji^e-widks throughout the entire line were" crowd'e34 with thousands Upon thousands of spectators, a number which no one but Professor John T. Scott could accurately estimate. Cheer upon cheer from lusty lungs rent the air bonfires blazed, drums, fifes and Brass Bands peaV& theiT^'inoBt ^cheering* note» and even Heaven's artillery lent its aid to swell the grand, hilarious tumult.

Not less than two thousand men marched in that column "to the music of tho Union." The high wind extinguished many, lights and a great number of the paperi la4ternif_^4re! consume^ so any c&itit

Jof

li§hts'would fall"' hundreds

short of the actual number of men in line Let it be borne in mind, too, that this was simply a county demonstration and that none but bona fide residents of the county participated in it.

The example of the Democracy in scraping the District and importing from Illinois was not followfid. More than double the number that h^ve been seen in tho largest Deniocratic demonstration of the campaign put in an appearance in this procession on a stormy night. That will do, to begin with, .When |ho Democracy shall have done "their level best" again, we will double their number again'

TRANSPARENCIES AND MOTTOES Th ese were presented in countless numbers. From along the line of the Fighting Boys and Tannerj we select the following

On the reverse was Baker holding a jar of strong-smelling stuff labelled "Vermont" to the nose of Hendricks, saying "smell this!" Hendricks, with .head thrown back, exclaims: "It's too strong for nie, Baker,'' and Baker adds "It will smell louder in October."

There were many other mottoes and deviccs in the procession and along the line of march, Tmt we cannot "find loom or more than the above, which were found most prominent/

AT THE COURT HOUSE

Long before the head of the column had filed from Third Street, into the square, the vacant spaces about the Court Honse and the adjacent streets were crowded with a dense mass of moving humanity, struggling to approach within ordinary hearing distance of the stand' and as division after division of the procession arrived, the crowd became denser and denser and extended in several directions for more than a square. We can form no estimate of numbers. Here, as ou several other occasions, .the reporter sadly bewailed tho want of that sublime mathematical genius so luminously displayed by Professor John T. Scott, and for which he has acquired a reputation co-extensive with this Common Pleas District, and divers contiguous counties. There were not as many persons "as there are grains in twelve hundred millions of bushels of wheat," nor were there at many "as there have been seconds since the creation of the world." Either qf these Scottonian illustrations would be an exaggeration. But there certainly was the largest concourse of people that has been seen in this city—the largest by thousands—since the campaign opened. Tout's Band occupied the stand and per« formed a number of appropriate airs while the

:coltftrth

was coming in, and

when tho last division had arrived at ten minutes before nine o'clock, General Charles Cruft introduced Hon. H. P. Bromwdl, of Illinois. F* •Jir. B. said he should waste no time on what might be called minor iseues nor should he discuss any matters irrelevant to the[great questionsvnow before the peo pie of this country for their adjudication at the ballot b6x. He proposed briefly to discuss the claims of the Democratic par ty to be entrusted with the control of the government. The perpetuity of this gov efnment, he said, had lately been put to

the wager of battle. party had not been tharo JJ$ofend it. Tbo Republican-party is tho Republican party to-day because it was there,

party,

as a

to defend the government and befcausn it had carried the govornmont through the war to victory, marching over the dead bodies of half a million of ,!Democrats. With a brief preface the speaker passed to the subject of the curiency, the greenback question, with which, he said, the Democracy are trying to cast dust in your eyes, thereby to conceal tho real issue of civil war, another revolution. Ho briefly portrayed the groat practical convenience and solid advantages arising from a uniform, sound currency, a currency as good in Maine as in California, and so unlike the mixed and uncertain paper currency of the "good old Democratic days." For such a currency the country was indebted to tho Republican party. Th£ Democratic party had decried it, had stigmatized it with''e\?ery epithet that could bo employed to express contempt alid hatred. It wa| "lampblack and rags," it was -'unconstitutional" it wag "no bettor than graybaeks,'! jt had "tho mark of Cain," it was all that Democrats should-^Cipig^ greenback currency wouldneTp of tho greenback currency would BeTp to destroy public confidence in tbe credit of the government, and thus directly heip the rebellion. He showed the shallow an«jfBjjwi&tbptiblejjf J^iocrisj| gf, the ||e». mocracy in now professing to'fie the greenback party, after having opposed the issue of greenbacks, by ever}- possible means, so long as. such opposition teiidfed to* £ripfle th'rf itfeHurc tlfc government and, strengthen the po^er of the rebellion. Passing from, %e Democratic record on this question loi other chapters of Democratic history he arraigned them on tfce general charge of disloyalty, of persistent opposition to the government and consistent sympathy with rebels during the war and since tho advent of peace. No synopsis could convey kny idea of the terrible severity of his attack. He hurled the damningifaibts" of tbe treasonable record of the party into their faces with the force of a whole park of artillery. He showed, conclusively, that the party, wero the rebel- element extracted from it, would not be able to elect a constable in any county in the* United States., Mr. Bromwell spoke for an hour and a half during which time the vast audience listened with such attention as the lipid and fearless utterance of truth in a great cause is always sure to command. He does not cut and fit his words to suit the sensitive ears of Democrats, but, drawing his ammunition from that exhaustless magazine which Democratic treason has filled, he rains on them torrents of damning facts which tell on them as Meade's artillery told on their friends at Gettysburg.

At the conclusion of Mr. Bromwell's ad* dress, Hon. F. M. Meredith introduced Hon. W. P. Fishback, of Indianapolis, who proposed, as the hour was late, to defer his speech until next Saturday night, but late as it was and bad as was the weather—umbrellas beiug then in use— the ftufliqnce, with one accord, shouted go on." & Finding there was no desire to excuse him, Mr. F. said "if you really wish to hear me speak, I had quite as lief talk to you now as at any other time,"^^and he did talk with an effective ness in his style of talking such as not more than one of his predecessors here in this campaign has shown. If Bromwell had hurled solid shot, Fishback brought to bear on the enemy, the koen, cold, glittering steel, such as no Dsmocralic armor was ever able to resist. If you can imagine the thunderbolt without the thunder, the effects of shot and shell without the noise aud concussion of the exploding powder, you have an idea of Mr. Fishback's style. He dispenses with "fuss," ignores "feathers," but goes at his work with that quiet, calm assurance that bespeaksjeonfidenco in his subject, in himsolf and in his hearers. We havo not space-for even a cursory glance at his speech but we cannot forbear to say that his review of tho Democratic party was the most caustic of anything of the kind we have ever heard. Without any appearance of bitterness, and in seeming good nature with himself and all the world, he y'*t managed to flay one after another of the Democratic leaders and to hold them over a slow fire of sarcasm while he basted them with the lunar eausticuif Jrsesistible satire. ...

If any of our friends in other localities desire to get up an ouUdoor meeting in rainy weather, we recommend them to send for Mr. Fishback. He held his entire audience for more than an hour during most of which time a cold, pattering, disagreeable rain was falling. That is the best compliment that could be paid him and is all the better (or being strictly true.

At the close of the speaking the band played a number of appropriate airs while the crowd gave vent to their patriotic emotions in repeated rounds of hearty cheers.

INCIDENTS.-- *1'.

A number of incidents, some pleasing and some otherwise, demand notice and must come in for brief mention here.

Among incidents of an unpleasant character we learn that several stones were thrown at the procession and that two persons were hurt, though not seriously.

The presentation of a banner to the Young Grant Tanners by the young ladies of the Fourth and Fifth Wards, occurred in front of the Terre Haute House early in the evening. Miss Charlotte Smith made the presentation speech and Master Georgie Allen accepted the gift in a brief address very graoefully delivered.

Sugar Creek Township Troopers won the prize banner, by presenting the largest delegation frofla any outside township. Several did nobly, but Sugar Creek outsripped all competitors and Lieut Col. Gilmore on behalf of the Fighting Boys in Blue of Harrison township passed the banner—a beautiful United States ensign—over to Captain W. W. Casto, the commanding officer th^ Sugar Creek Troopers. Tbis presen tation occured on the stand after the close of the other exercises. Col. Gilmore accompanied the presentation with a few appropriate remarks and called for three cheers for the Sugar Creek Troopers, which were given with abundant pim.

City Attorney Muzzy improvised family martial band which occupied a wagon and constituted a pleasing feature of the procession. His youngest boy was mounted on a "hobby horse*' dressed as a zouave, while other membera of the family drummed and fifed ad libitum.

Tho most affecting scene witnessed was tbis: A number of maimed soldiers among whom were John Paddock and O P. Cohoe, marched with Ce. of the

b—ilny transparency

Hill

which were inscribed these lines Effects of Democracy. We each gave a limb to save our country: Who has paid more tax than we?

WestTll eome wben dotycalls. A large wagon, finely decorated and illuminated with four engine headlighta from the T. H. Jk I. Railroad fihop»,«und containing misse^i representing oaqh State of the Ifnion, preceded the taA&m aad attracted much attention. Awigoa imh a large headlight from the T. H. A. & St L. Railroad also preceded the Battalion of F. B. in B. We kave lost the names of tbe gentlemen who prepared and carried out this part of the programme. ... IH CONCLUSIOir

We M& only to say that the entire demonstration was splendidly suoeessful, and that.the Republicans of this oounty are under lasting obligations to the many gentlemen wfcoee arduous services contributed so largely to the happy result We have not deemed it advisable to men* tion individual names as entitled to special credit All who had parts assign ed them in the preparations for or eonsummation of this magnificent event in our local political history, did their whole duty, and did it for love of the good cause. We have- "moved on the enemy's works" and moved successfully. Let the spirit which shone so conspicuously last Saturday night, continue to Animate the parW to the end ^of this struggle, and we. shall "keep the jewel of Liberty in the family of Freedom," shall drive the enemy into "the last ditch" and bury htm beneath the ashes of his own humiliation.

WHO is Captain C. H. Allen? What "situation' did he hold in the army?--Journal

We do noi suppose the public are at all interested in mere personalities, but, for the information of the Journal, we will state that "Captain C. H. Allen" entered the army as a private soldier on the Monday following the attack on Fort Sumter that he "held" that "situation" for more than two years, during which time he participated in many important engagements and was three times wounded that be was discharged' as permanently disabled by reason of a gunshot wound that, when only partially recovered, he re-en-listed and served for several months as an enlisted man that in September 1864 he was commissioned as "Captain," was soon after duly mustered,and served as Captain until July 1865 when, the war being ended. he resigned his commission. 1^ is hoped that this statement will be sufficient to satisfy the curiosity of the Journal and obviate all further necessity for bringing personal matters before the public. ... ft®

THE REPUBLICAN County Executive Committoe authorize us to slate that a Grand Mass Meeting will be held at the Fair Grounds, near this city, on Friday the 9th day of October, proximo.

Details of the arrangements will be announced in a few days.

13TATE FAIR.—By a note from

Holmes, Secretary of the State Board, we learn that the 16th Annual Indiana State Fair, to be held at Indianapolis, commencing September 28th, now near at hand, bids fair to be the largest exhibition ever held in tbe State. Full $12,000, are offered in premiums, and over $11,000, have been expended during tbe summer in fitting up the grounds: An Amphitheater 40x300 feet a Mechanic's Hall 30x200 feet a Fine Art Hall 50x150 feet, and several other new buildings have been erected, the time track enlarged and improved, and everything within tbe reach of the Board has been done to render a visit to the Fair—pleasant to all, The citizens of Indianapolis have contributed liberally, ahd are earnestly at work, to make the Fair a great success. The P. and I. R. R., have laid a side track to the grounds and together with the street cars will convey passengers from the Union Depot and all parts of the city, to the grounds. c-

EVEN in Parke county Carter's campaign has been a signal failure. Outside of Rockville bis meetings were alarmingly small, and the tall youth was said to be much disgusted with the radical apathy.—Journal, i*

The above is simpfy a lie. Major Car. ter's meetings have been very numerously attended wherever he has spoken. We are informed by persons of unquestionable veracity, who have seen the audiences called out by both the candidates for Congress, that those of Major Carter have been much larger than those of Voorhees and Holden.

had openly

repudiated the Tammany nominations and come out squarely for Grant and Colfax. The Democracy about town af« fpcted to disbelieve tbe report but a visi bie elongation of countenances and other indications of unusual depression of spirits showed that they felt that the very bad news wag quite too true.

AN ELEGANT SUIT.—Tout's Silver Band attracted much attention on the street yesterday, not alone for the exquisite music rendered, but, on account of the handsome uniform in which each member wa3 encased. The suits, of navy blue cloth, military cut and buttons, were

SHOWS COMING.—Two travelling exhibitions are soon to visit our city, each of considerable merit. The first to come i* the mammoth circus and menagerie of trained animals of Heminga, Cooper & Whitby.

COULDN'T STAND IT.—On Monday night the Democrats raised a pole at the corner of Wabash and First streets, with the figure of a chanticleer erect on the top. As the,pole reached its perpendicular, the first news, good and true, of a Republican victory was received by telegraph from Maine, and the chicken turned his heels skyward and gave up the

ghost. The Democracy can discover a foreshadowing of their fate by taking a look at the pole.44

OPORTO GRATE CULTCRK.—This coun-„ try is becoming noted for the enterprise^ of wina growers. New Jersey particular! ly, where the celebrated Port Grape Wine is made purely from the grapef juice.

PASSAIC, Oct. 20th. 1865.

I hereby certify that Mr. A. Speer of*?®^ this village has a large vineyard of choicer grape vines, which are looking very fln»,tiffijt He also purchases a great many grapes, not as yet producing as many himself as M^ is required to keep his stock of ^ine full.. He has the Port Grape, the wine of which: is held in high estimation and of «rhich he has a large quantity on hand lying inw his cellars, requiring age before he dis-f„ poses of it.

CONSTITUTIONAL DIFFERENCES.' are many constitutions so inherently de- iss fective in energy as to derive groat bene ntl fit from a moderate use ef pure liquor combined with such vegetable medicines and extracts as enter into tbe composition of Roback's Stomach Bitters, and there are many situations in which even the health- wf. iest derive additional security from its accasiorfal use.**

If healthy per an tTs™ "are^exp osed to" un^ usual and continued exertion in confined air, or, under the heat of the sun, or to the influence of depressing watchfulness by travel ing, and change of diet and water, or if residents of malarious districts or the
