TH* New York Times very pertinently remarks that the "personalities" of the party patters of Tennessee in the present State campaign are disgusting. It does not seem possible that ono State should turn out two such men as STOKES and SISTER are described to be by their respective opponents—not to say by each other. -5=5=--= -nii&i«
IT IS not certain that the Auditor has power to appoint a city School Trustee.— Journal.
The school law provides, section sixth that "in case of a vacancy in the office of Trustee, the County Auditor shall appoint a person to fill the same, who shall take an oath and give bond as rsquired in the last preceding section and said Auditor ehall report to tba Superintendent of Public Instruction the caoae and post office address of each Trustee
The law was framed for general application and has reference alike to the School Trustees of "incorporated cities and "incorporated towns." It would •eem to be very "certain that the County Auditor has power to appoint a city School Trustee," whenever a vacancy occurs. Doe* the Journal still doubt?
A COTXMPOBABT mentions a striking illustration of tbe defects of our civil service which was lately brought to light at Washington on tbe occasion of the Court of Claims being called upon to decide, in tbe case of certain bank-note printers, whether they wero entitled to the twenty per cent, additional pay to employes, under the resolution of Feb. 28, 1867. Oa the trial it appeared that the yearly wages of all these men exceeded the salary of the Superintendent of Printing, under whom they worked he receiving but $2,000, while the lowest wages of these men were $2,039. One of them received $3,500, or $500 more than the salary of the Comptroller of the Treasury, an officer who must countersign every warrant drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury, and whose responsibility, if measured by the ordinary mercantile standard, would entitle him to a salary of $25,000 at least. This is an example of tbe -absurd way in which our oivil servjea is organ,ized, and .of its utter dissimilarity to tbe manner in which the business of private mercantile and financial institutions is conducted. ^1
At X.A8T, and rfter a vain struggle to enforce the prohibitory law in Massacbuletts, it has been practically abandoned. The Boston Advertiser thus sums up the result in that city "The public sale of malt liquors was stopped for a few dayB. Large quantities of adulterated and fiery compounds have accumulated in the cellars of the State constable- Suits bave been begun in large numbers, to be determined by the'court* hereafter. Bui, on the othpr ha7id, drinking clitbs have bten revived on ull stdea concealment and hypotriajf have inken the place of the tffronU try of public drinJnng tbe hotels and eat-ing-houses Continue to aupp)y their guests without interruption grocers and drug* gists And their trade stimulated by tbe change in the current and the friends of the law have the satisfaction of seeing a fierce and angry commotion precipitated upon the State without approaching, as yet, the results they confidently promised themselves. The attempit to dragoon the State into uniformity on this question has put good and bad members of the community oh a level, and given those who pander to its passions and vices, for the sake oi profit,-: an advantage wbich doeB not belong to them." *1 -.:y {pm eii r.-i i-»
Camp Heelings.
One of the leading journals of tbe Methodist denomination has an article upon the change that has come over the spirit and the form of the ctmp*meetings of the denomination. It states that they "seem more and more every year to assume tbe character of great picnics so that it is hard to tell, whether the leading feature of the meeting is social or religious. some instances, one inducement offered to proposed purchasers of camp"ng "lots, is tbe fact t{iat tbe location or the camp-gropnd is an eligible one for a temporary residence during a few w«eks of the summer. Pure, bracing air, good flsbiog, delightful thrives, beauT ful scenery, fine bathing, are sopne of tbe attractions sot down in the bill of fare.— Instead of tents, are bousep, neatly finr ished, and built to remain on tbe ground year after year. Here the families of the owners reside fur weeks at a time, enjoying themselves in a quiet, rural way, and finding, we dare say, a better return for their money than tbey could get at a crowded watering plage, with its fashion and folly- Happy will they be if they can alw«J» keep fashion and folly ^h? from their tSttpofUJ summer homes."— These are some of the good points ia tbe change, which of late years has come over these peculiar religious assemblages
B^t the Meihodist proceeds to recite .some of tbe bad ones, among which it especially denounces the "refreshment stand." It says tbe articlee gold at these, stands, no one will pt«t«&3o say, are essential to a religious melnng. For what hat piety to do with peanuts? or with soda-water? or with ice-cream? or with tobacco? o* with the score of ot^r wares exhibited for sale at such times? Besides, these articles are freely sold during public service, so that the preaching of the
Qoapel, the songs of .praise, even the prayers of God's people are mingled with the popping of corks, the cracking of shells, the giddy gossip ©f ice cream eaters, and the jingling of pence. These facts and other», the Methodist adds, plsinly indicate that the picnic part of the "campmeeting" ia fast overriding the spiritual and religious features. The Chicago Republics*, alluding to the complaint of the Methodist, asks if it "is not true, after all that at aociety progresses thecajnpimeeting is necessarily assuming more of a social thaa religious character? Campmeetings, at exclusively religious gatherof dearth of churches. Will not a plentiful supply of luxuriously furniabed churches, naturally turn camp, meetings into picnics?"
MB. EDWABD ATKIKSOM, in letter io tbe Boston Journal, estimates oar sur plus revenue for the flnenciaj year just closed at$50,000)006/'snd for the financial year ending June 30,1870,,at $100,000, 000 or more. "As most of the" anr plus," he says, "must be devoted to 63ying up bonds, these .will soon advance, to par in gold ia the European market, and tben it will be stay to change our 5-20 six per cent, bonds into along Joan.al„4i per cent., exempt from taxation,which would be readily taken by trustees, savings banks, etc. If tbere is any difficulty then the bondholders* can be paid in gold st par for by that time be estimates that we can resume specie payments, at least to that extent.'' -1.
FKOM the Cincinnati Chronicle we learn that tbe State Temperance Convention at Urban a on Wednesday and Thursday was of more tban usual interest. Dr. LBKS, of England, and NBAL DOW, author of tbe famous "Maine law," wers among tbe speakers. On the question oif independent political action, the voice of the Convention was very decided and a resolution was passed in opposition to running a separate ticket. The purposes of the Temperance Alliance, under whose auspices the Convention \yas held, ars laudable in their character, whatever may be thought of the means by which their accomplishment is sought. A great* er mistake could not have been made than that of supporting a separate temper ance ticket, tbe pratical effect .of which would have been adverse to the cause. *M mvf
Tut Cincinnati Chronicle, a very consistent and able Republican paper, sug gests that our Government, without in' tervening in the affairs of Cuba, abeuld officially express to the Spanish author! ties Us abhorrence of the report«4 atrocities committed against Cuban patriots, in violation of civilised usages- A moral protest of this sort would undoubtedly bave weight in arresting these crueltiesi and it would 3tly come from a nation situated like ours in regard-to the Cuban contest. Tbere need be no waiting for sworn testimony to prove the reprehensible conduct, ft js a matter beyond reasonable doubt, and could with propriety be referred to in diplomatic correspond, ence, subject to the contingency of an official denial of the reports. If untrue, it is for the interest of Spainrto'feave an opportunity for a circumstantial and formal denial.
THE article on the manufacture of iron, which we publish to-day from the Indianapolis <Journal> of Saturday, is quite as applicable to this city and vicinity as to the Capital City. We have no doubt that Indianapolis can profitably engage in the manufacture of that great commercial staple, but the great advantages which Terre Haute possesses, in her closer proximity to the sources from which the coal and iron are obtained, will enable us to manufacture it so much cheaper than that city, that our manufacturers can make a good profit by selling at the Indianapolis cost. This is certainly the case at present, but the opening up of contemplated lines of railway may have a tendency to equalize the relative advantages of the two cities. At all events the field for enterprize is broad enough for all, and we shall not regret the prosperity that may come to any city through the development of the measureless resources that lie hidden in the block coal fields of Indiana. =====
THE Express is emphatic in its declaration that the Auditor haS sole poorer to fill vacancies in tbo School $oara. That being tbe case, why did a radical Council exercise that authority t—Jcurnal.
That would bave been a very pertinent question bad you propounded it about the time when "the Radical Council exercised that authority," but you are cut off from complaint, now, by "the statute of limitation." It may be that NOAB didn't follow the most approved rules of nautical architecture in the construction of his craft, but it wouldn't be beceming in GIDKON WALLIS, Mr.Boaie, Secretary ROBESON, or any other great expert in autical matters, to make fussabcut it now and try to gel up a prejudice against tbe old gentleman on accountof any little defect in that wonderful historical vessel. "Let tbe dead past bury its dead'' is one of your favorite maxims. You know, for we bave sbown you tbe law, that "the County Auditor bat sole power to fill ta^ cancies in tbe School Board:" Jf'Hhe Radical Council" erred, if it proceeded In violation of any statute, that is no reason why tbis Council should commit a similar blunder. You should have called their attention to the law reculating the matter, as we bave dono Iq tbe of Democratic Council,) ,J ,.*f
Tax Logansport Pharos nominates Hen. D. W. Yoorhees QS the next Democratic candidate for Governor of tftis State. Tbe suggestion will meet with very general approval among the Democracy.—Journal.
There are about two dozen prominent Democrats in this Congressional District, each of whom thinks himself fitted, by nature and education, for a seat in the National Legislature, and among these gentlemen the above "suggestion will meet with'' tbe most hearty "approval.'' At present tbey are completely overshadowed by tbe Tall Sycamore, and have no hope of preferment until this overshadowing iofluence ia removed.— With DANIEL on the State ticket, tbey think their hour would strike. We do not particularly object to tbe tuggestion, but don't think it is quite just to all parties. If the great honor oftbs Democratic Gubernatorial nomination.it to come to this District that "noble martyr" and "sterling patriot" AHDT HxritPBarrs, is justly entitled to it by the "glorious record" of his sufferings and sacrifices. We shall urge bis claims upon the party in preference to those of VOOWXES, not that we love DAHIXL less, but that we love fair play more.

All of our exchanges teem with notices of the most favorable kind concerning the DeHaven show. Most mansgers would bs content to have a company mads up of artists who by tbeir wonderful acts are sura to please, but DeHaven with a profnseness of liberality bas spared neither- ttme, mosey or ex pense to gather in one grand galaxy enough talent, not only to pleaee, bat bas combined in ons grand aggregation, only those-whose names are famous and Who to-day .rank pre-eminent in tbe different lines cf their profession, as equestrians, acrobats, sthleWT end gymnasts, forming in its entirety a combination )n which tbe rare, the beautiful and wonderftil are predominant.

MCGREGOR & Co's DISTILLERY.— Some days ago we stated, on erroneous information, that the great distillery of A.
McGregor Co, hsd suspended operations for the purpose of effecting repairs. It has been constantly at work until last evening, but will probably be idle for some weeks, perhaps months, to come.— Yesterday, in company with Samuel Magill, Esq, Revenue Collector, we visited the establlshment, where we found the gauger, Mr. Hamilton, the Store-keeper, Mr. Mahan, with Mr. J. O. McGregor, one of the firm, drawing off whiskey from the cisterns preparatory to the suspension. The officials seemed as expert in the performance of their various and important duties, as if they had been trained therein for a series of years.
The stock on hand amounts to about six thousand barrols, or two hundred and forty thousand gallons, on which the duty is $120,000, something of an item in the way of revenue, but small compared with what this firm were accustomed to pay when the duty was higher. During Mr. Crain's incumbency as Collector, McGregor & Co., drew their check for $198,000, at a single payment.
The suspansion, even for a few weeks or months, of so important feauture of our manufactures will be felt in many directions, not the least, perhaps, among the coopers, who have found with McGregor & Company a ready market for much of the best work, is that line, that we have seen in any part of the country.

TERRIBLE FALL !—Saturday morning about eleven o'clock a swinging scaffold, on the east wall of the National State Bank, fell to the pavement below, a distance of about twenty-five feet, carrying with it two men engaged in tuck-pointing the exterior of the building.
The accident was occasioned by the breaking of one of the ropes supporting the platform. The north end fell first, and on this end was seated Mr. Crane, who reached the pavement before the platform, and the end of this struck him in the back, causing a dislocation of the dorsal portion of the spine. He also sustained a double compound fracture of the left wrist. His companion escaped without any serious injury.
Mr. Crane was instantly carried up in the building, where Dr. Arnaud attended his injuries. These are of a very serious character, and may result in partial paralysis. Mr. Crane has a family in Chicago who have been informed of the sad accident.
The ropes used are very heavy, and apparently capable of sustaining ten times the weight that was upon it. In this mode of dressing walls, however, a considerable amount of acid is used, and it is supposed some of this came in contact with the rope. —————

Motion For New Trial Overruled! —————
TRIAL OF OLIVER MORGAN!
THE SENTENCE PRONOUNCED! —————
To be Hanged on Wednesday, Sept. 1st. —————
Upon the opening of the criminal. Court, Wednesday morning, Col. W. E. McLean continued, at much length, and with great force, to present the reasons on the part of the defense for asking a new trial in the case of the State against Oliver A. Morgan. At the conclusion of Col. McLean's argument, I. N. Pierce, on behalf of Morgan—who was present— presented an affidavit signed by the prisoner to the effect that the proceedings in relation to the motion for a new trial had been had in his absence and without his knowledge or consent, and protesting against their validity for that reason. He claimed the right to have a rehearing of the arguments and a review of the proceedings under the motion for new trial. His protest elicited some discussion, but the Court did not tbink there was any law that required the defendent's presence during the proceedings that had been had since the verdict was rendered.
Judge Crain proceeded to review the reasons presented for asking a new trial and the arguments that had been made in support thereof, arriving at the conclusion that there was no reason why the motion should be granted, and accordingly overruling it.
I
To this decision of the Court the defense excepted and asked time to file exceptions. The defense also made a motion in arrest of judgement and, the motion being overruled, excepted to that ruling, and asked time to file exceptions, giving formal notice of their intention to carry the case to the Supreme Court.— Judge Crain notified the counsel for the defense that he should expect the bill of exceptions to be ready for filing on Saturday.
The prisoner was then ordered to stand up, whereupon be arose and walked, calmly and deliberately, to the space directly in front of the bench, and stood facing the Judge, who said "Oliver Morgan, a jury of your countrymen, after due deliberation, have found you guilty of murder in the first degree and that you suffer death. Have you anything to say why sentence should not now be pronounced." At this point Mr. Mack, who sat near the prisoner, whispered to him a moment, and he then said: "May it please the Court, I ask for a new trial," or words to that effect, there being so much noise at the moment that his words were not distinctly heard.. This request took the Court by surprise, and in the confusion that ensued the prisoner sat down. The Judge, after a little reflection, decided that the request, was not in order and directed the prisoner to "stand np." Morgan arose and the Judge said: "Have you anything further to say?" The prisoner replied: "May it please the Court, I have nothing further to say, except that the case has been hurried from the first, and that too, amid great excitement so that a fair trial was hardly possible." These are his words as jnearly as we could catch them amid the noise that prevailed.
The Judge remarked that this objection had already been advanced by his counsel and had been considered by the Court and he would proceed to pass the sentence, which he did in these words: "It is the judgment of the Court that you, Oliver Morgan, be taken from the jail between the hours of nine o'clock A. M., and four P.M.., on the first day of September next, and hanged by the neck until dead."
The prisoner received his sentence without any demonstration of unusual emotion, and, turning from the bench, was immediately removed to the jail.

LEMONS.—Hall's Journal of says: "When persons are feverish and thirsty beyond what is natural, indicated some cases by a' metallic taste in the mouth, especially sfter drinking water, or by a whitish appearance of the tongue, one of tbe best "coolers," internal or external, Is to take a lemon, cutoff the top," sprinkle over it some fine leaf sugar, work it down into the lemon withaapoon,. and then suck it slowly, squeezing the lemon and adding more sugar as the acidity increases from being brought up from tbe lower point. Invalids from feveriabness may take two or three lemons a day in this manner, with a most marked benefit, manifiested by a sense of coolness, comfort, and invigorstion. A lemon or two taken thus at tea-time, as an entire substitute for the ordinary 'supperi'' of summer, would give msny a man a comfortable night's sleep, and an awakening cf rest and invigoration, with an appetite for breakfast, to which tbey areatrangers,. who will have their cup of .tea or supper "relish,-' and 'cake,' and berries or peaches and cream." j*ac sttis t»d'!T •ni* .y 'f*hf rs i*
