Everything looks prosperous since tho Democrats de feated tbe party of thieves. —On account of tho clectiuu, wo have been ■compelled to omit tho prices current. We resume their publication to-day. We have not jet arranged for Columbus prices. On Wednesday last a Squirrel created some excitement by visaing •our town and esconcing himself in one of the oaks in the Court House yard.

Mr. Short continues the business* We hope that bis prof its may be such that, lie may be in duced to make Buena Vista bis resi dence. —Our member, Hon. Itowell T. Hollis, lias received about forty solic itations for bis vote from men who want to bo clerk of the House of Rpreentatives, and about twenty for State printer. There tire any quantity of candidates for Secretary of State, and we suppose half the members elect are candidates for speaker. Our Representative goes there for the good of his county and State, and not to gratify personal ambition. Jake Williams, a colored preach er of the African Methodist Church in Buena Yista, died on Wednesday last of pneumonia, after a week’s illness. —Those weddings, which we stat ed were to come of in five days failed to do so.

Saturday evening last a prelimina ry meeting was held, to take into consideration the propriety of cele brating the recent great victory of tho Democratic Party in the United States. Wednesday night was the time se- lected and an appropriate programme adopted. Mr. J. L/C. Kerr was ap pointed chairman. On Wednesday night a grand torch light procession was formed at the Court House. Headed by a band of music and followed by thr old army flag of the Buena Vista Guards, tho procession inarched up Main Street as far as Mr. T. W. Harvey’s residence, and around the Court House, entering it at tho western door. Among the torchlights, sever al transparencies were to tie seen, bearing mottoes, among which we noticed the following: “Tilden, Harris, Hampton and the Constitu tion;” “No more Slavery;” “Hon or to colored Democrats;” “Tilden is Triumphant;” ‘ ‘Harris and Hol lis;” “Conclusive argument, Cotton Eleven cents per pound;” “Who killed Rutherford B ? I. said Sam’l. TANARUS.;” “God Forgive them;” “Wc are thankful;” “Let us have peace, has gone to his Rest;” “Three Cheers for Tilden, Hampton and Vic tory;” ‘‘Hilliard’s Gone Squirrel ing;” “Radicalism Follows John Brown’s Soul;” “Hilliard Stinketh, he hath been Dead Eight Days;” “In dependents gone up Salt River;’ “Here’s your Solid South;” “Hurrah for Whoopee;” &c., &c. A tremendous crowd formed the procession. The Court House was crowded to its utmost capacity, and a very large number could not get in. The House was beautifully illuminat ed, and everything bore a handsome, bright and joyous appearance. A large assemblage of ladies were in at tendance, and their bright eyes and happy countenances added an inex pressible charm to the occasion. The meeting was called to order by Mr. J. L. C. Kerr, chairman, who made an excellent speech, in explain ing the object of the meeting. lion. B. B. Hinton followed in a happy strain. Cob E. M. Butt spoke next in order, with patriotic elo quence. M j. Millet addi essi and the people and awoke afresh the shouts of rejoicing. Mr. Willie B. Hinton, though “too full for utterance,” ut tered some noble sentiments, in an elegant, diction. Judge W. B Butt closed with his impressive oratory, throwiug cold water, however, upon the exultant feelings by prognostics ■ tions of trouble and conjuring up the dread spectre of impending inter nal war. But he could not do otherwise as his forebodings were honestly felt and entertained by thousands. All these gentlemen were called out by tba audience. None spoke longer than ten minutes. Several others were called, who did not re spond. Among t hem were Frol. Kennerly, Judge D unbam, Mr J. D. Wilson, Prof. M. It. Graybill, Mr. J. J. Nicholson, lion . llowcll T. Hollis, Mr. O J. Cottle, Rev. M. Hair, and Mr. M. G. Braay, &c. Some of them called, were absent from the 1 cou it room, and Mr. Brady was mot r a; town. T'ort Perry, Tazewell, Rcdbon.e, I’j Seville, Buena Vista and Jackson vme Districts were all liberally i represented in the procession and au dience. It was the largest and most enthusiastic political gathering that lias occurred in Marion county, since 1860.
