Tho Democratic Party. At no timo einco 1801 havo tho prospects of tho Democrats regaining power in tho Na tional Lcgialaturo been more promising than now. In Ohio tho party has gained in Con-? grossman from Ovo out of twenty to thirteen out of twenty ooo, thc gain being suQjoicnt In the few States whero elections havo boon bold to reverso tho balanco of power io the Houso. In Now York tho party is stronger than it bas been nineo tho gubernatorial campaign of Tild?n and success is so far assured that tho Democratio majority in thc Stato is variously estimated nt from twenty to fifty thousand. Tho party is also sanguino of success in Pennsylvania and Indiana while other States aro churned. In these States tho party reasonably expect to incroaso its roprosontation in Congross and perhaps control both tho Sonnto and Houso, tho lutter cortainly. If suoh should bc tho cuso, and tho probabilities aro favorable for such a result, wo hopo to seo a representativo of this old and well approved party aguin enter tho White Houso as President. In tho elections so far hold tho Greonbaok party appears to bo a nonentity. Whero it had representativos they havo been lost and tho party, if it oven bad any existence, hus died out in the North and Wost. In fuct, its nppoarance boro is somewhat like tho fashions once were in the South. Aboat thc timo they bad become obsolete and wore forgotten in thc North they made their appearance hero and created n great sonsation. Is not that tho caso with this to us new party? Tho North has become tho tail of it and the head is fast approaching tho Oulfof Mexico, where it will disappear forever. Tbo North ern tail is dead already. Viewing tho sovcral parties as they aro ia it not folly to abandon tho Democratic party at a time when it is daily growing stronger in tho nation? If yon oKandon it is it not greater folly to ally yourselves with a party which appears to bo doad or dying? In tho North it started and ibero is has certainly lost etrugth, if not existence, ns evidenced by tho lato Congressional elections. Tho Domo - oratio party is not only tho party of good government in tho nation, but in this State it is tho only ono to bo relied on, siooo in its ranks are collected tho bulk of tho virtuo, in tellignco nod property of tho Stato. On tho 7th of November cast your votos for its nomN neos. Vote for good govornment and home rulo on next Tuesday by voting tho Democratic tiokot. Bo suro thal you deposit your ballots on next Tuesday, November 7lb, for the Demo cratic nominees,State, County and Federal. Vote ''No" on the constitutional amond snent reducing tho area of counties. Voto \Ycs" on tho other two amendments. Follow citizens, givo next Toesdoy to your State and let the Democrats, by their votes, forever squelch out Orconbackism or Radical ism from ber borders. - - -* Democrats of Oconeo ! you must route the Grecnbnekere and Radicals horse, foot and dragoon bj your votes on next Tuesday. You can do it-you must do it. White men t bo not deceived by the Greenback delusion, bot vote solidly tho Democratic ticket and save our nobie old State from tboso who weald again plunder and rob her. No honest man can afford to east his vote for a party that is in league with those who bave sucked tho very lifo blood from tho State in y oars gone by. Vote tho Democratio ticket on next Tuesday and save tho State and. perpetuate good government. Court Procoedings. Court at Walhalla opened on Monday, the SOth ultimo, Judge ?bthran prodding. After the ?rand jury bad boen empanelled and a number of bills handed to them by Solioitor Orr his Honor ebarged thom dearly and forcibly on their duties in referonco to tho various indiotmenta submittod to them and also on their general duties as the grand in? quest of the county. Tho benefits from tho ehacge in the law, requiring thom to servo for a year, waa pointed out, the experionoo gained by them, making them more efficient in tho various duties imposed on them. Tboir duties io- the investigation of tho various publio ofilcos of tho county, as well the caro of tho publio buildings and poor of tho county, wero pointed out and im pressed on them. His Honor then roforred to tboir duties as informers in eases which have oome-under their observation or bavo boon brought to their notice, referring to them not only as required by tboir oaths, but as honor ablo in tboir proper performance Tho office of an informer bas always been justly held odious, beonuso it ls taken voluntarily and too ofton either to gratify.a spirit of ro ve ugo or (or pay. Not so with tho grand jury. They havo a gonortl supervision of tho moral and material interests of tho county und in the foll discharge of tboir duties rests tho security and prosperity of tho whole pooplo. He considered crimea as divided into two classes-thoso whioh spe cially affect individuals and thoso ?dich do not-though all crimes, moro or loss, affect every individual. As to tho first class, such as rapo, arson, larceny, &o., partios affected and their friends nro not slow to avail them selves of tho law. Such crimes readily find a prosecutor. Tbore aro othor offences, such us retailing liquor without liconso, gambling, vagrancy, &e, whioh may affect no particu lar person, but whioh operato injuriously on tho peace and good ordor of society. In these casos ofton no ono is ready to becomo tho publio prosecutor, but being violations of tho law, thoy should bo punished. In adultery two persons are guilty and neithor aro likely to becomo prosecutor, but in all such cases thc grand jury should bring them to thc notice of tho court when they are known to thom. After tho charge they retired with tho fol lowing bills of indictment, which during tho day, wero returned:: Tho Stato vs. Hebert Young-trosspas on land after notice True bill. Tho State vs. William Jackson, John Brown, Sarah Jackson, Mary Brown and Mary Frady-Assault and battery with intent to kill. Truo bill. Tho Stato vs. Benjamin Holland-Assault and battery of a high and aggravated naturo. No bill.

Thc Stato vs. Aaron Patterson-Forgery. Truo bill. Aftor tho grand jury retired thc docket was called and tho caso of tho State vs. Z. Kelly, J. N. Fitzgerald and James McClellan, charged with riot, oontinued over from last term, was called for trial, and after bearing tho ovidenco and argument, tho jury returned n verdict of not guilty. In tho caso of tho Stato vs. ll. B. Aldrich, for carrying concealed weapons, continued over from luet term, tho defendant put in a pica of guilty, and his Honor sentenced him to pay a fine of twenty-?vo dollars or bo imprisoned in thc penitentiary for six mouths. Tho fino was paid. In this casa affidavits of mitigating circumstances wero introduocd. In the case of tho Stato vs. ll. T. Casoy, fur aggravated assault, continued ovor from last torm, tho parties having settled among themselves, tho Solioitor ontcrod a no!, jn-os. by request of the prosecutor, on paymont of costs. John Tims, on being put on trial, was found not guilty and discharged. In tho Stato vs. William Jackson and others, Wm. Jackson and John Brown had not been arrested, and on trial Mary Brown and Mary Frady were found guilty o? assault with intent to kill and Sarah Jackson not guilty. In tho case of the Stato va. Aaron Pat terson, for forgery, tho jury rendered a vor? diet of guilty. In tho case of tho State vs. Samuel Robin, son, Henry Perry, Green Yanco, Lawrcnco Hayes and Andy Randolph, for riot and as sault and bnttcry, tho grand jury .found n true bill as to tho four first named and no bill ns to Andy Randolph. Up to this timo Green Vaneo has not been arrested and tho three other defendants were put on trial on Tues day morning nt ll o'clock A. M After hearing tho evidence and argument tho jury returned n verdict of guilty os to Samuel Robinson and Henry Perry on first count, for riot, and not guilty ns to Lawrence Hayes. On Tuosday morning the Solicitor handed out tho following additional bills of indict ment. Tho Stato vs. Bon Thomas and Mollio Patterson, adultery and fornication. Tho Stato vs. Wm. Banks and Amanda Smith, for adultery and'fornication. The State vs. John Henderson and Emilia Qossett, adultery and fornication. Tho Stato vs. Isaac Bates and Lin Thomas, adultery and fornication. The State vs. Charleston Williams, charged with a high and ngravated assault and bat tery. In the five last above named cases thc grand jury returned true bills, and there being no other business for thom they wert discharged Tuesday evening ofter handing in tboir presentment and it was read in oper conrt. In tbe caso of tbo State vs. Charleator. Williams the jury returned that the cour having no jurisdiction they found the dofend< ant not guilty. The case will be remanded to tho Trial Justico for trial. In the case of the State vs. Isaao Batoi ?nd lin Thomas tbe jury re tu red a verdiol of guilty. In the case of the Stato va. Isaao Ilcndersoi and Emma Pitts, tho jury returned a verdie1 of guilty. Tbe remaining proceedings o court will appear in our next issue. Death of George lt. Cherry. It Is with oo less surprise then with feel ings of sorrow we ?re called oe to announce tho death of George lt.

Here aro some startling revelations from Gov. Foster, cf Ohio. " Wc havo in Ohio 15,000 saloons; one for every 225 of our population oed one for every 48 of our voters. It is probable that tho entire sslooo interests of tho State pays less than 8300, 000 in taxes, while thc same amount of business in other interests* pays too times that amount. They take no noto of the fact that nine tenths of tho crime and equal amount of tho pauperism, and one half of thc Inn icy and idiocy, and enor mous expense ontu?ed on thc people of tho State for the support maintenance of these classes arc directly traceable to tho liquor traffic. It costs in Ohio 83,000,000 o year to maintain onr publie institutions and poor houses and to support oar oat door paupers. It is safe to say that 82,500,000 of this amount is directly chargeable to tho liquor traffic'* There has boon much discussion in the papers as to tho successor failure of Prohi bition io Kansas and tho effect it hus had upon tho prosperity of tho State.
