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

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.

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

which occurred nt his residence on Seneca

was a man of largo property for this county
and was at all times eharitablo, do?og?botb
bofore, during and since the war quietly but
judiciously, nota of benevolence, whioh could
proceed only from a liberal heart. He bad
sovoral times boen honored by the votos of
bis follow ci ti eons with a seat in tho Logia*
Inturo, and until ho declined tho oandidaoy,
bo was spoken of and would havo beoomo
tho candidato of tho Democratic party of tho
JOnnty in tho present campaign. Both in
private conversation and in A public card ho
declined to run for the position. Notwith
standing which positivo declination, bis name
was kept .before the publio ns a candidate on

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. Influ
entials say that tho State was never moro
prosperous and the population never in
creased moro rapidly. As to tho political
aspects of tho question, The Fort Scott
Monitor sums np tho situation thus: "At
loast three-fourths of the Republican
voter? of tho State aro Prohibitionists, whilo
tho Democratic pirty is hopelessly divided
npon tho subject, with thc organization of
tho party probably in the hands ot tho anti*
prohibitionists. Tho discussion of tho
Gubernatorial question, which has a near
relation to tho samo subjcot, has developed
tho fact that there is no public man in
Kansas with either tho courago or temerity
to tako tho field as on avowed opponent of
prohibition."-A7. Y. Tribune.
President Arthur has sot apart Thursday,
