ELECTIONS POSTPONED.
Gen. Casby on the 23d inst, issued an ord?
postponing the election for mun hip al officers or
dexed for tho 2d'day of June; This seems to-us t
be wise, and will doubtless arrest much of the ex
cttement in our towns and villages at the tim? ol

DECORATION OF SOLD TEES' GEA VES.
The ladies of this village and vicinity, will meei
on nest Saturday evening, 30th inst., at 5 o'clock,
st the Baptist church, to- decorate the graves o:
oar veteran- soldiers whose bodies sleep in th?
graveyards of our village. We feel confident tba
the mere announcement of this meeting, will in
turo & large assemblage of those who esteem it ai
ssiixnable privilege to pay such tokens of. respect
to the memory of fallen heroes- Remember that
the exercises begin at the Baptist cbarch on next
Saturday evening st 5 o'clock,
GRANT AND COLFAX.
Oar readers hare observed that these mea have
been nominated by the late Convention of Radi?
cals in Chicago as the candidates for President and
^ -? Vicc-Presidcnt on the Radical ticket in the ap?
proaching Presidential election. We know of nc
man who is more perfectly qualified to represent
t tho sentiments and designs of this extreme party
than'General Gbast. His continuous insubordi.
nation and disrespect as a military officer of high
- sank to his superior officer, and his ingenious in?
trigue, and persistent efforts to insure the im?
peachment and removal of President Johksox,
pre-eminently entitles aim to- the leadership oi
that party who. have trampled under foot every
vestige of constitutional liberty and justice. Ii
the conservative people of the nation, however,
will only ase those means which may be brought
under their control, we believe that G bant may
be defeated, and denied the pleasure of ruling
with a rod of iron an already oppressed and down?
trodden people.

TF5 DISTRICT VS. COUNTY ELECTION.
The election for officers to fill tho several County
. .and municipal positions will, we suppose, without
question, take place on the Second and Third days
' of Jane. Tho time is bow so short that it is not
probable, as many have supposed, that any change
will be made in the time of the election. It should
also be remembered that thc elections were order?
ed not specially ia accordance with the new or old
State Constitutions, but under the paramount au
- thority of the Reconstruction Acts of Congress.
It is, therefore, of the very first importance that
all of oar strength and energy should be directed
in securing the election of the conservative candi?
dates nominated by the good and conservative
people of the District. We are gratified to know
that the people have become so ranch, interested
upon theso important issues, and we feet confident
that the 2nd and 3rd days of June will not be for?
gotten oi?-neglected by our people. Let every one
turn oat and vote for the nominees of the Conserv?
ative party. It will not be forgotten that just be?
fore the recent election of members to the Legis?
lature that it was publicly announced that the
Radical party of this District would have no can?
didate for the Senate, but the action of that party
showed conclusively that the announcement was
only an additional evidence of tbat trickery se
characteristic of the entire party. Surely thc
good people ot Anderson District cannot be so
unsuspecting, and so blind to the real interests of
the District as to be deceived by any announce?
ments that may be made by the Radical party for
District officers. Judging the future by the past,
any announcements that they may make is no cer?
tain evidence that their votes will bo cast in ac?
cordance with, such announcements. No man who
feels interested in the prosperity and welfare of
the District should, on any account, stay from the
the polls in the coming eloction. The conserva?
tive people of the District can carry the election,
if each ono will manfully discharge his duly at
the ballot box, which the interests of the commu?
nity so imperatively demand.
?
TEE WORK GOES BRAVELY CN.
We aro glad to notice in our exchanges that
Democratic Club? are being formed in every sec?
tion of the State, and that our people are going
"rigorously to work preparing for the contest which
baa been forced upon us. The distinctive line
between- the two parties is being more perfectly
drawn avery, day, aadall are becoming impressed
with;the fact that thia is not only to be a white
man's government, but that ovorv one will be
forced to identify himself clearly with either one
party or the othur. In on emergency like this,
the good people of this country cannot afford to
Bhow any countenance or respect to men who re?
?ase to identify themselves with those who are
toiling to save oar eountry, our honor, and our in?
terests from threatened impending ruin. And it
is not unfair to presume that the sympathies of
those who -raf usn or decliue to affiliate in any -ray
with th* conservative people of this eountry are
with the Radical party, and they are not entitled
to any more, if even as much countenance, as
thoBe who have publicly avowed, their sentiments,
for the want of moral courage hos moBt likely kept
these would-be neutrals from taking a bold, monly
and decided stand.
While we shou?d never be unwilling to receive
all who may become disposed to abandon their
damnable radica] heresies, and accept che platform
and principles of the conservative people of the
countyy, yet wo should never allow ourselves to
compromise anything, where principle is involved,
with those who have left no stone untamed, to ac?
complish our uti jr ruin. No such compromise can
be desired or accepted. With us everything is in?
volved, ana we must either gain or lose all ; and if
everything else is lost in a contest so unjust and
forced upon us, let the honor and dignity, of our
manhood never be sacrificed. Let the conservative
people everywhere feel that they are necessarily
united in interest and destiny, let these organi?
sations everywhere be kept up, that the members
of this whole party may take counsel together, and
then whatever course of action may be decided
ppon, then let avery one manfully and faithfully
act with the decisions of his own party, and vote
for.-every one who may be nominated by his party.
Individual preferences and personal considera?
tions should all be lost sight pf ip our determina?
tion to act together.
It is only in those places where success is doubt?
ful that our RaJicjal enemies propose,, evep indi?
rectly, compromise upon men and offices, and the
people should see that po Buch compromise is ab
lowed. The conservativo people should see to it
that they be not compromised, either through men
or n.ca?ures, by that party which owes its very.
1::? tu h.. biasing obligations, its low canning arid
?ta wicked, unjust, and unrighteous purposes
TEE GAEPET BAG62B3?
Tho senior editor of the Cincinnati Commercial in
writing front Washington to his paper, and speak?
ing of the appearance at Congress of the Senators
from the reconstucted States of Arkansas and
South Carolina, very properly, says :.
Now, there is no seasou to believe that the per?
sons presenting themselves here as Senators of tho
United States from Arkansas and South Carolina,
represent even the negroes of those States. They
ure adven tarers, representatives of little more
iban their own audacity ; and they will become, if
permitted to enter the Senate, the most abject of
party serfs, because they will have no possible
vitality outside their party. This may be a recom?
mendation to Congress, but I do not believe it is
to the people. If the Arkansas and South Caroli?
na reconstruction is the sort of thing Ben Wade is
wanted in the White-House to promote, the less we
have of it the better.

THE HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX.
The announcement of the nomination of Hon.
Bchcyleb Colfax, as the nominee of the- Repub?
lican party for the Vice-Presidency, in tho ap?
proaching Presidential campaign, will render in?
teresting the following sketch of his life, gathered
?jem a. biography which appears in Radical papers
North.;
Schuyler Colfax was born on the 23d of March,
1828, in New York city. His father was an officer
of one of tho New York city bunks, and died four
months before the birth of Schuyler. In the veins
of the Speaker runs the blood of the revolutionary
fathers ; his grandfather, General William Colfax,
having boen the commanding officer of General
Washington's life guards throughout the Revolu?
tionary War. Speaker Colfax receiv.edan ordinary
common school education, ami theu obtained a
clerkship in a store. After three years' service he
removed to Indiana, and settled in St. Joseph
county. For four years young Schuyler served as
a c erk in a store ia the little village of New Car?
lisle, and when seventeen years old, upon receiv?
ing an appointment as deputy county auditor, re?
paired to the county seat, South Bend, where he
has since resided. At an early age Mr. Colfax
commenced to take an active interest in political
matters, and frequently published his views upon
the questions of the day in the local newspaper,
rle soon acquired reputat ion as an able writer, and,
in 1845, became proprietor and editor of the St.
Josopb Valley Register, published in South Bend.
Though commencing with small means and a small
subscription list, the paper, by its general inter?
est and the editorial ability displayed, soon be?
came remunerative. Mr. Colfax was a Whig as
long as there was a Whig party, and at its death
he joined the Republican party. In the Whig
party he had risen to some prominence, having
been a delegate to and ono of the secretaries of (he
convention which nominated Gen. Taylor. Mr.
Colfax's first nomination to Congress was in 1851,
when he was beaten by 200 votes. At tho time of
his second nomination, the Nebraska bill was the
most exciting issue before the country, and the
representative from the District having voted for
it, against the desires of bis constitutents. the
anti-Nebraska men immediately selected Colfax to
take the lead in punishing the delinquent, and
elected him by 2000 majority.
From the year 1856 up to the present time, Mr.
Colfax has been successfully elected by large ma?
jorities. Mr. Colfax was an enthusiastic suppor?
ter of Mr. Lincoln in the campaign of I860, and
as long as the latter lived he loved, respected and
trusted Mr. Colfax, in whose judgment he placed
such implicit confidence that it has been said he
rarely took any steps affecting the interests of the
nation without making his intentions known to
him.
In 18GS Mr. Colfax was chosen, and has since
remained. Speaker of the House of Representa?
tives, and has acquired a high reputation as a
shrewd and kindly chairman, and a skillful parlia?
mentarian.

CHICAGO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Chicago, May 20.
The Soutbern States were called, and represent?
ed on all committees. Governor Hawley, perma
sent President, was introduced to the Con?
vention by Governor Brown, of Georgia. The
Southern States are represented among the vice
Presidents and Secretaries in the permanent or?
ganization.
Chicago, May 21.
In the Republican Covention, the Committee on
Resolutions reported, congratulating tho country
on the assured success of the Congressional plan
of reconstruction. Congress must guarantee and
maintain suffrage to the Southern loyalists ,* de?
nounces repudiation as a national crime; the sa.
tiona! obligations must be paid in letter and spirit ;
the Government should be administered with
the strictest economy ; corruption and extrava?
gance, fostered by Johnson should be reformed.?
Abe Lincoln's death was deplored. Deploring
Johnson's accession, tho resolutions denouuee him
as a usurper, violator of the lows, obstructor of
reconstruction, and justly impeached of high
crimes and misdemeanors. No citizens, native or
naturalized, must be imprisoned when abroad, ex?
cept for violations of law. Eulogizes thc soldiers
and sailors?their bounties aro obligations never
to be forgotten ; their orphans and widows are the
nation's wards. Immigration should be fostered
by a liberal and just policy. The Convention sym?
pathizes with all the oppressed people who are
struggling for their rights. The resolutions were
adopted?2 or 3 only dissenting. Gen. Grant was
unanimously nominated for President. Governor
Brown, in announcing Georgia's vote, said the
maxim of the Georgia Republicans, was "enemies
in war?in peace friends." On the first ballot for
Vise-President, Wade received 149; Fenton 132;
Wilson 109; Colfax 118; Harlan 16; Kelly 6;
Creswell 14; Pomeroy 1. On the fifth ballot Col?
fax was nominated, reciving 552 votes. The Con?
vention then adjourned subject lo the call of the
President.
The following is the text of platform wherein
tho South is effected:
1. We congratulate the country on the assured
success of the reconstruct lion policy of Congress,
as evinced by the adoption, in tho majority of the
States ?ately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing
equal civil and political rights to all ; and it is the
duty of the Government to sustain those instal?
lions, and to prevent the people of those States
from being remitted lo a state of anarchy.
2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage
to all loyal men at (he South was demanded by
every consid?ration of public safety, of gratitude
and of justice, and must be maintained ; while the
question of suffrage in all the loyal States proper?
ly belongs to the people of those States.

PROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, May 23.
Grant was serenaded last night, and in response
said : "Gentlemen, being unaccustomed to public
speaking, and without any desire to cultivate that
power, (laughter,) it is impossible for me to find
appropriate language to thank you for this demon?
stration. All that I can say is, that to whatever
position I may be called by your will, I shall en?
deavor to discharge its duties with fidelity and
honesty of purpose. Of my rectitude in the per?
formance of public duties, you will have to jwdge
for yourselves by my record before you."
Washington, May 23.
The House was called to order, and immediately
adjourned. Both Houses met to-day.
The Executive Committee of tho Western Union
Telegraph Company have issued orders to their
managers to deliver no-more private telegrams to
the impeachment managers. Those already ob?
tained were furnished under a misapprehension of
instructions.
Pomeroy denies the authorization or knowledge
of the Cooper letter.
The Test Oath.?In the order directing the as-,
sernhling of the South Carolina Legislature, Gen.
Canby prescribed that the members elect should
subscribe to the "test oath." Thc following para?
graph, which appears in the Northern papers, in?
dicates that Geu. Canby has made a mistake, aad
lhal the oath will not be required:
"According to a Washington telegram, General
Grant has inst meted General Meade (hut thc oath
prescribed by thc Reconstruction Acts to bc taken
by all persons 'elected or appointed' to office in (he
'so called States of the South, is not to be taken
by those elected under any new Constitution which
may be adopted, unless The Constitution itself so
provides.' "
-
? A despatch Crom Lake City, Florida, says a
few days ago, nearly t wo acres on a farm, in Ham?
ilton County, suddenly sunk to thc depth of fifty
feet from the surface; thc surrounding land filling
with water and submerging the tops of the tallest
trees. The ground is still sinking, and now covers
four acres. St roams aud creeks loose themselves
in the surrounding country, which forced an outlet
in this way. These sinks occur occasionally, but
this is the large-it and deepest known.
? Speaking of Hancock for the Presidency, the
New Orleans Picayune says : "If a man who was
cither equivocally or plainly on the war side is to
bc chosen, we would much prefer one who fought
for his principles, and* who, if kept out of his seat
by Radical usurpation, will fight for it until he
gets in."
? The National Intelligencer says, that Stanton's
letter of resignation is in the hands of ono of his
friends, who is instructed- to present it os soon as
there shall bc final acrion of acquittal of the Presi?
dent under the impeachment charges.
? New Orleans papers mention (ne carly ar?
rival of the army worm, the destructive enemy of
thc cotton plant, va- the fields east of the Missis?
sippi:
? It is stated that Oen. Meade lias promised to
pardon the seven citizens of Green County, Ala?
bama, who have been banished to the Dry Torgtu
gas by a military commission.
? A Chicago letter, alluding to the immense
crowd in attendance on the Republican National
Convention, says : "Thc South Carolinians have
brought tents and cooking, utensils, and intend to
camp in the suburbs."
??Tho Galveston' Commercial Bulletin, of the
16th instant, says: "Advices from the interior
relative to the condition of ibo growing crop,
have, until'within a few days, been very encour?
aging, but now information has reached us from
several sections reporting that the worm had
made its appearance, but whether or not it is of
the species that created so much devastation' last
year is not definitely stated."

JOHN WILSON,
Coroner;
Capt. ALEXANDER DICKSON.
Cocntt Commissioners :
W. SPENCER MOORE,
Capt. R. JUNKIN,
HENRY GENTRY.
In placing Mr. Wilson's name before the people,
I we will state that it was not at his request, or
known to him, and done through no disrespect for
Mr. Gentry, the Democratic nominee. Mr. Wil?
son ie a gentleman favorably known to the com?
munity as a Magistrate who gives justice to all,
irrespective of race or color. His age and expe?
rience is what we need to perform the arduous
duties of the office, and wc feel confidence in his
power to settle any difficulty which-may arise ; for
it is a well-known fact thai he sett les three-fourths
of the cases that come before him, without going
into Court, thereby saving the State a,Yast amount
of money. To prove our willingness to do justice
to Mr. Gentry, we Lave nominated him for County
Commissioner.
The Constitution provides that no man who is
not an elector can hold office, and for that reason
alone we nominated Capt. Dickson (a registered
veter) instead of Mr. Norris.
In nominating County Commissioners, we have
selected disabled men, who deserve the support and
confidence of their fellow-citizens. Mr.- Moore has
been unfortunate in having both arms broken-re?
cently, but will be able to discharge the duties of
his office, if elected. H-e is a farmer, and a Chris?
tian g?ntleman, loved and' respected by his neigh?
bors.
Capt. R. Junkin has twice in life defended his
country by shouldering his musket. He was a
member of the famous Palmetto Regiment, whicli
performed its duties so well in Mexico ; and in the
late war, no one acted more nobly. He was se?
verely wounded in fighting for what almost every
Southern man believed was right.
Mr. Gentry is a young man who commands, by
his moral character, the respect ot all who know
him. He lost an arm in the late war, and al?
though a stranger to most of our oitizens, we trust
he will reoeive tbe hearty support which is due him.
We have no objection to thc gentlemen nomina?
ted by the opposite party ; but they are among the
wealthiest citizens in our county, and are able to
live in comfort without th? addition of an office.
We have not made it a strictly party issue, but
have selected those whom we think capable and
most deserving. They are not disfranchised, and
can serve if elected. Although some of them were
in the late war, they stand ready to do as much
fr" th? Government aa they have done against iL
