It- THE NOMINATION WEWNES- I>AY. Pursuant to a resolution passed by I the impiomptu meeting, whih met <m the 20th Inst. Mr. G. W, Steed presiding, called in opposition to that over which Judge W. 15. Butt was chairman, a nominating election was held in the Jacksonville, Pineville, Rcdbonc, Tazewell and Fort Perry Militia Districts, on Wednesday last, to nominate a enn ui late to run in opposition to Mr. Howell T. Hull’s. No election was held in Ihjenu Visia District. . The .managers of the election met' in Bueni Vista yesterday ami cons->l -re urns. T!h\V refused lo make the result public, up unusual proceed ing, but, we nn<iorstai|d, Mr, M. G. Brady ivci ved all the votts cast with one exception. Howell T. Hollis rc cievcd that. That was thrown out and Mr Brady declared uunnimously nominated. Mr. Brady is a gendeman of sound sense and undoubted Democratic principles. He has been a citizen of tlm county for many years, and is VPiyersiiliy, respected for hi.s honesty, integrity and sound judgment Ilis p’ot-form has been published in the Argus,'to whfch wc refer the leader, stating here only that he is strongly in favgt of calling a Constitutional (Convention, in favqr of repealing the County Court act, and opposed to making any change in the whisky full. If sent to the Legislature Mr. Brady will dq nothing ft) the injury pf the county or tho poiilofthe Estate. Our opposition to the election of Mr. Brhdy is based upon the demur- j aliziug effect it would have upon the Democratic pat ty organization of the i pounty. While lie recieved the en tire vote in the so-called nominating election, it has been given in an ir regular and bolting manner, in open opposition to tho party resolu tion in August. Wc believe that the Biiegcss of a ticket thus nominated would,ultimate in the disintegration! and overthrow of the Democratic par tly, and the triumph of Radicalism in tup county; though wc are satisfied tygyond all doubt that neither Mr. i Brady nor any of his f);ien,ds are ma< t lfing an intentional fightagainst D.em qcracy per se, or that they imagine fpr a moment that their present ac tions might lead to this disastrou&re sulr. Though we have the greatest, respect and the kindliest feelings tor Jfljr.' Brady and his supporters, we v4jl upon the people of the county to oppose this movement with their un divided, suffrages. !■ —M*. If. C. Ansley is now a citi- j zon of Bwpna Vista. He has eon ,traded for Qaryying the mail, be tween Buon% Vista and Atnericus. Howell T. Hollis. Who docs not know the gallant and brave soldier, honest citizen and liberal fraud, Howell T. Hollis, of Marion? Whoever ho is, if living in this neighborhood, is unfortunate. Be does not know one of tho clevoro -t men in Marion county, and the bra vest soldiers that fought and bled for tho freedom of his - people and the glory of nis count ry. He bears upon his body honorable scars won in bat tle, fighting for the Confederate States of Amoriea. He is a young man, who is strongly beloved by the people. Mr. Hollis has been recommended to our suffrages for the lower branch of the Legislature, by the regular Democratic Convention of the county, eallod fo nominate a candidate for that position. We add our recom mendation to that of the party and call upon the people to elect him by sweeping majority. CORRECTION. We stated in Our article on "Coun ty Politic” lust week, that the friends of all the candidates voted colored men. We made t.bc statement upon what we considered reliable author ity. Messrs. Brady and Wilson de ny that they voted any colored Re publicans. We cheerfully give them the benefit of the denial, because we arc unwilling to do any ouo injustice.

Mr. Editor: In your issue of Inst we-k, ns the Chairman of the Democratic Execu tive Committee, I addressed a com munication to the Democracy of this county. In that article I took occa sion to state that the bolt on the 20th was causod by reason of the colored votes; and in the same article I sta ted that each candidate, or their friends, wore voting all of that class they could. I have been informed by Mr. Brady and Mr. Wilson that they never tried to vote any but Democrats. Sonic colored men "vot ed for Mr. Wilson which ho clnitns to have been Denocrats. I, therefore, ask that yon insert this that the er ror may be corrected My object was simply to give the facts and not to do injustice to either ot the parties. W. B.

Mr. Editor : Your comment on tbc proceedings of the convention of I lie 20th Sep tember was fair as far ns it, went. But your conclusion I think incor rect. In tlm' convent! >n there was a solemn resolution passed that none but Democrats should lie allowed to vote, and managers appointed to car ry this as well as all other regula tions out. Now, sir, almost before the ink that wrote the resolution lmd time io dry, it was violated by the reception of votes from all sorts of voters, Democrats, Republicans and I reckon it there is any other party it was represented too. But it is said that the candidates all participated in inviting Republican darkies up to vote. (The candidates can speak for themselves.) I did not belong to them; neither did they belong to me. But, sir, did this whole business belong to the candidates ? Was not eacn and every citizen interested in the regulations of the convention ? at least, Democrats? Must we stand supinely still,, see its resolutions vio lated, and do nothing ? i at least dal not invite any Republican darkey ta vote, and suppose that there were many others that did not. Are wo bound when your managers allowed this resolution to bo violated ? Mr. Editor, I have looked on for a long time with reprehension, this al lowing a discordant element to be brought into our party nominations and now when it begins to assume the fearful position of control, it is high time that you pass resolutions and not lor mere formality, but put them inforce. The Radicals generally ai’e oppos ed to changing the Constitution. So is your candidate. 1 I w.nijd'fr t v<mrf'” man un der nny circumstances who opposed i be change of that inst rument in some pnruculnr-. JThr do I believe I want It changed any.vtlcro that, it would affect tlm interest ol the black race In the least; unless ho is a togue, Now, Mr. Editor, I did set m that convention and expected to carry out In good faith itsbobests, ns far as the power in moUfus Hut when it violated Its ph)os*ib, Its resolutions, it cut looso every cord that hound me to It. In view of A the circumstances that surround this unfortunate affair, and the groat desire to strengthen and perpetual* Democratic princi ples, if this evil can bo corrected ami the Dein' dalio party of Marion once more unit ml upon the essential prin ciples tfisit bound us together, stand ready to march to victory, which will redoun<4,to the best interest of the country, no man will rejoice more than I will. This is done not to invite discussion nor to produce any more discord than there is already, but as areas on for our faith and action. There will he great chuckling with the Radical darkies of Marion over this point gained as they think to save the Constitution intact. But I think they will have gained but little, hardly worth their trouble. Never- make it one of the para ’inounMssucs to have it changed in W. G. Steed. October, is election day. The voters of the State will be required to vote for Governor, Senator and Represen tative. The people in our immedi ate section arc interested in tha elec tion of Alfred 11. Colquitt, for Gov ernor, David C. Cody, for Senator 24th District, and llowcll T. Hollis, for Representative for Marion coun ty. This is the full ticket that every man should vote. [Special Dispatch to the New York 'World ] VA Radical Wail from Indiana. Washington, September 21.— The erv for help from the Republicans in Indiana lias come up in a long shriek in a letter read to day from a very prominent Republican in that Slate in which it is requested that every Indiana clerk in the departments here be sent out at least two weeks before the election, in order that he may cont-ribu’c his personal efforts as well as his vote to the Radical cam paign. The letter says if the State is carried at all lor the Republicans it. will be with great difficulty, and every nerve must be strained now or all will be lost, Thus far it is ad mi ted that the Democrats have the ad vain age. The letter has created such a decided lint ter that its con tents leaked out in the excitement. The Hell Gate Blast Was duly made early Sunday after noon, and proved to be a very mild mannered affair. No rock-" were thrown above the surface of the wa ter, and the hitter was suddenly raised, just over the mine, several feet, but immediately settled again. Tin noise of the explosion wa3 a smothered and heavy thud, and a jar like two eartliqvake shocks wag felt on the margin of the stream. The effect was nothing like what the ex plosion of a single great mine of ni tro-glycerine massed in a solid sub stance would have been. The four thousand charges operated as coun teracting concussions, and all were cushioned ns it were b.v ten to thirty feet ot water above and below. It was supposed lhat the entire reef had been effectually demolished; but of this fact we may have better assu rance in later dispatches before go ing to press. Yellow Fever prevails in Savannah, Brunswick aad Charleston. No en couraging news comes to us concer ning the epidemic. Nothing but cold weather will check it. Two yellow fever cases have bro ken out at Albany—came from Brunswick. An earthquake was felt n lodian na, on the 24th inst., at Evansville. No damage. The Radicals arc drea ding another impending over that State, of a different character, which will occur very soon, shaking them out ot their socks. Great good.
