The I>oinocratic Candidates.
The election of State and County offi-
cers ta kes place next week on Tuesday.
The democratic candidate for Governor ,
Major General Dakits N. Couch , is ac-
knowled to he one of the most eminent
and influential among the statesmen of
New En gland , and in battle from first to
last , has done his full share in putting
down the rebelli on ,—in fact his oppon-
ents every where acknowledge his valor.
He was at, the first Bull Run—he was in
the great Peninsular campai gn , marching
arid fighting over every foot of ground
from Yorktown to the walls of Rich-
mond . He was in Mary land , at Cban-
cellorville , in the streets of Fredericks-
burg, in command for a time in Pennsyl-
vania—he foughf, before Nashville, and
when (he tidings finall y came of the ca-
pitulation of Lee, he was still in active
and perilous service in the interior of N.
Carolina. He has talent of a high order,
and those who wish to know his senti-
ments can do so by referring to his whole
course for many years. Generous, manly
and independent ,—no man would better
fill the chair of the executive of Massa-
nVinsfitts.
tor Lieut Governor , Hon. Thomas
F. Plcxket of PiUsfield , is a gent leman
of talent and influence , an active, t hor-
ough Democrat—excellent in council and
straig ht forward in action and policy.
The Democratic nominees for Secreta-
ry of State , Treasurer , Auditor and At-
torney General , are g»nt lemrn of politi-
cal ex perience and integrity—men of su-
perior qualifications — all of them emin-
ently calculated to do jus tice to them-
selves and to the public , in the offices to
which they are respectively nominated.
For the State Senate, Hon. Solomon
Fkeem.vx , of Brewster , has been nomin-
ated for the Cape District , and Eben.
\V. Alli;>", Esq-. of Nantucket , for the
Island District. They are both high-
minded , honorable gentlemen,sound dem-
ocrats , and will make good Senators.—
See that they have a full vote.
The Democratic County and District
nominations are all good ones. For Sher-
iff o! Barnstable County, Capt. Alexan-
der Baxter, of Yarmouth , is the candi-
date for whom the democracy will re-
joice to vote. No man ever doubted his
democracy and no man ever will. He is
clear headed , careful and independent.
As a Sheriff, no man can be named , in
or out of the party who would better fill
the office.
For County Commissioners, Alfeed
Keneick, of Orleans, is the nominee. A
better man cannot be found from Orleans
to Provincetown. He is familiar with
duties that would be required of him and
would faithfully and independently per-
form the responsible duties of the office.
The nomination of Wm. E. Boyden,
of Sandwich , and Mixler W. Nickek-
son, of Dennis , for Special Commission-
ers, are excellent ones. ' No better men
can be found. Let the democracy see
that they too have a full vote.
Nu nomination has been made by the
ds.mccracy of this District for Councillor ,
and very manv votes will ho east !> v thpm
for Lkvi L. Godospekd, Esq. of East
Bridgwater , and thcEe not satisfied with
the present District Attorney , wi ll cast
their votes for John E. Saktohd, Esq ,
of Taunton , who is a man of strict integ-
rit y, of hi gh moral worth , and would fiii
the office with credit to himself and hon-
or to the Commonwealth.
Seizure of a Pedlar'sHorse,Wag-
on ami Goods, lit Sandwich.
On Friday last , Deputy Collector Paul
Wing, havin g sus picions that one John
McCabe, retail pedlar in linens , dress
goods, &c, of South Miulley, was pud-
dling without a license , demanded of him
his license which he stated he had left at
home , (after producing some old ones of
different dates.) But Deputy Wing had
dealt with too many unrul y school boys
to be humbugged in that way. He took
his goods and team and put them in safe
kee ping , when he immediately tele-
gra phed to McCabe's District , where Me
Cabs said he left it for his wife to app ly
t; .-r a license: last April , but ha d heard
nothing since. But the telegrap hic an-
swer was that "John McCabe had not ta-
ken out a pedlars license for 18(34 or
1865." Mr. Wing, not believing in
trusting wives to procure U. S. licenses
will deal with McCabe as the law directs
Democratic Meeting.
At a meeting of the Democracy of the
4th Representative District , holdeu at
Provincetown the 13th inst., Nathaniel
Wiley of Wellfleet and S. S. Gifford , of
Provincetown , were nominated as can-
didates to ths General Court.
James Hickman of Wellfleet , Thomas
H. Kenny, of Truro , an d J. Henry Dcir-
bur n , of Provincetown , were chosen a
District (rommittce for the ensuing year.

The head piece and center figure of
the radical republican party has pro-
nounced it dead—or rather struck with
the Jiangs of dissolution. And those
who are to be the chief mourners are
preparing their weeds and otherwise in
tra ining for the last sad rites. The vi-
tal element , known to the doctors as "ne-
»ro Bu ffi age," is fast chilling into hope-
less rean imat ion , and the weeping friends
are chanting Jeremiads mingled with
just praises to President Johns on's res-
toration policy.
Sic transit gloria mundi, or, in the
beauti ful and imposing language of the
poets , radicalism , which, for five years ,
has been the wsll-spring of life to the
Republ can. Lincoln party, ha s gone up !
Wendel l Philli ps, who was the maker
and builder of its plat forms, he who gave
it life and being and furnished the brains ,
says it in dead , and bound for Iladns, he
mi ght have added. And what a sad end
—died of "Nigger on the brain " the
obituary not ice will tell us. Although
the sp irit has departed , has shook off
the "morta l evil ," if, Wendell Phillips ,
still lives to haunt and torment the mourn-
ers. They, "loyal" to self, if nothing
more , will eke out an ephemera l exis-
ten ce, and shine and stink like frozen
mackerel in moon light as they fatten and
!>loat on the public plunder. Bat there
is ieft of the wreck of the heterogeneous
mass that composed the republican par-
ty, tin element, of safety to the countiy.
We mean a conservative princi ple that
gave to the organization of 1860 all the
respectab ility it possessed. These men ,
t houg h w ith the party, were not really
of it. They had a trad itional hate of
th? democrac y, inherited from the f eder-
al father s, and yet were friends to the
c nst.itution. That class of republican s
must act separate from their hitherto rad-
ical associates whose only bond of Union
is to hate and revile better men than
themsu li-es. This better cla&s of re-
publicans can not longer remain by the
decaying bod y of radicalism. A hi gher
arm more congenial position must be
taken. They may glory in hel ping to
kil l .slavery, but it can by of no sort of
profit , or at all pleasant to their feelings
and better jud gem ent , to aid in drag ing
the fri ghtfu l corpse thorug h the streets. —
These conservative reiMblic ynn have a
'r. ^-.w . uty to perform h;r their coun-
try . i:< ". war killed s'
larer y and stran-
a l'jii tl: l- v.'ild sp irit of sec:-;sion , but it
dr.K-:-
-!. (Wtroyed the beautiful heritag e ;
:: ¦!:-. t;) rc-buil.! the broken and waited
.it:-;to? ;= Hit? work that demands the earn-
est aid of all good citizens. To none
rrif -re than the sensible , conservat ive and
i t-sly patriotic Republicans is the call
made, lney may safely take the old
historic democratic party as a guide in
the great woi k now before the country,
if the y will do but hal f as much as the
democracy is doing to sustain a Presi-
dent the y had no part in electing, great
good will et'-mc of it. The democratic
par ty dest itute of all executive p.itron
age , with not so much as a nibble at the
public cheese, are still content , and will
continue to be content , so Andrew John-
son shall be able to restore what the war
destroyed (except slavery)—shall suc-
ceed in bring ing back to the Union the
eleven states which , for four years , have
been lo«t in the whirlpool of revolution.
Tin; democracy and its press have freel y
carried to the President every possible
aid and comfort to cheer him on in the
good cause of restoration , and at the
cost , too, of insult , and derision from the
radica ls and their press. We leave it
w ith the conservative republicans to de-
cide whether they will gj with the dem-
ocrats in openly and bold y sustaining
f.he President , or to lay back as an en-
couragement to men who have no love
or respect for the Union ? But whether
they do so or not , t he course of the glori-
ous old party , with sixty years of un-
broken and honora ble history, will still
march on in its constitutional course in
su pport of the Union , the constitution
and laws.
TIic Radical Party in Danger—
Dnry of flic Conservat ives. The following complimentary notice of
Messrs. Charles and Frank B. Tobey, for-
merly of Dennis , in this County is from

cost of transportatio n and incidenta l ex-

u& The Democrats in Massachusetts
(says the Boston Post) should see that
they are well organized in town , district ,
county and S' lie. The duty never was
more imperative. The fact that their
party is in a minority upon the general
vote is no reason that strenuous efforts
should be neglected where local advan-
tages may be secured. Again , now is
the time to commence training for the
great contest in the near future between
the Unionists and Disunonists ; between
the friends of an constitutional govern-
ment and those who would fasten upon
us the contiol of sectional fanaticism.—
Let Massachusetts Democats prepare fcr
a hearty cooperation with that mi ghty
band of true , patrioti c men who love
their countr y, its liberty, its republican
government , its power arid prosperity
above ail selfish purpose. Such are soon
•o direct the destinies of ihe nation , and
thm will the genius of our glorious Insti-
tutions shine north with a rad iance un-
surpassed in the history of the world.

maur^d by the ctew . Including the
coolies who threw themselves into the

wh ich was near , left for Port Conning.
The shi p continued to float all that

Wednesday morning. Two steamers
wore at once sent round from Calcu 'ta ,
and t he Lady Elgin returned from Port
Canning. They found three coolie lads
on the mast of the wreck, an d savid
about sixty more who had floated to
Holliday 's and Butcher's Islands, whsre
tho tigers are said to have destroyed
some. The coolies as.sert that the last
Europeas attempted to lire the ship. Of
t he four hundred and ninety-seven coo-
lies, two hundred and sixty seem to have
perished on that terrible Wednesday
morning or afterwards in the jung le.

Sandwich, Oct. 1865.
At a regnlar meeting of the Official
Board of the M. E. Church , the follow-
ing letter of condolence was presented
by Brother J. Foster, and unanimously
adopted by the Board , and the Secretary
ordered to have it inserted in the Zions
Herald and Barnstable Patriot •
We, the members of the Official Board
of the M. E. Church in Sandwich , de-
sirous to tender our deepest sympath y
and sincere condolence through vonr pa-
per to our afflicted Brother, Rev. Joseph
Marsh, formerl y of Sandwich , now of
New Bedford , who has lost his excellent
wife by death , which took place at the
fourth Methodist Parsonage, New B«d-
tord , on the ninth of October. We do
this the more readily and cheerfull y be-
cause our dear Brother lived among us for
twent y-eight years, and was very effi-
cient in building up the Church in this
place by his earnest preaching and wise
counsel in our Board , for we owe him no
small debt of gratitude, and do earnest-
ly desire in this hour of his affliction to
show some tangible token of the same.
ior fifty years our Brother has been
incessant in pulpit labor among the poor-
er societ ies, for the most part at his own
expense, probably the only local preach-
er in the world of whom this can be said.
And in addition his voice has been heard
in every town in this County in favor of
universal freedom and temperance , amid
buffitings , threats, and even stoning, but
like a rock in the sea he has been and is
immovable. And now we find that by
great expense in the cause of truth and
right, long family afflictions, together
with some losses, he is so circumstanced
that one of the principal members of the
Providence Conference proposes to give
him a New England donation. We sec-
ond that motion and hope it will be done,
that the last days of our Giant Brother
may be made comfortable for he is wor-

Me. Editor : Once again we enjoy a
comparativel y calm and pleasant day
which is indeed quite refreshing after so
much wind and cold . Very fre*h N. VV .
winds seem to prevail extensive l y here
this season, making ii decidedly difficult
for the fishermen to p.-ocure a fa arable
da) for their business , and after getting
-i moderate day they seem quite unfortu -
nate in finding fish. Mackeral seem to
have a remarkabl e aversion to anythin "
appr oaching a "J/-/ ." Wouldn 't thty
like a "Qiiadiille ," think you ?
A small fhe : (of about 200 sail) of
fishermen are in bigbt from here ilu-,
morn ing, but ju dging from their mam-u-
v- rs they find few fish .
Cape Cod seems to be taking consid-
:rable rank as a hunting ground whethe r
from the fact that game is becoming more
scarce in other portions of the state, or
¦hat it is increasing on tho Cape cannot
say. Foxes which a few years ago
roamed over these barren plains uid hiTls
unmolested , are now being chased over
sand hills, through the swamps and
-.rush by swift -footed hounds and sharp
sighted hunters who seem to enjov the
sport with all tie relish of "ye "olden
t.me, in Sherwood forest ." Ducks are al-
s > found in- great numbers on the sea
snore and meadows
Little of interest has occurred here
du ring the past week, everything is qui-
er. I understand that work ha* already
been commenced on the beach north of
here , for the protection of Cape Cod Har-
bir. Particulars next week. I. M. S

neighbor m Berkley lost a calf. In the
adjoining town of Lakeville three sheep
were stolen from the flock of Ebenezer
W. Peirce, of Freetown, who offerg
double the value of the sheep for infor.
mation sufficient to convict the thief or
th ieves, whether he or they be caught or
not.
Some years ago all depredations of
th is kind were laid to a roving vagabond
called Tom Boo-he , a notoriou s thief .
A barn owned by Mr. William Winslow
of Assonet Village, in Freetown , vvss
burned ; and Boothe , charged as b ing
the incendiary, was confined in Taunton
j ail, and while there the loss of fowl still
went on. Boothe died and filled a piun -
er 's gi avo, and the thieving still contin-
ned . This mantle was found to have
fallen on one Abraham Hathawa y, of
Slab Bridge, a locality of unenviable no-
tor iety in Freetown , of whom the poet
said :
"As (or Slab Brui se tis perfect h:!I,
Biyond the art of man to tell. "

tion of his thievish spirit . Abr aham

was shot dead by the owner of the poul-

One of the largest and best assort-

attention to this branch of business for
more tnan twenty years, and has won
for himself the reputation of manufactur-
ing the best and most durable Garments
to be found in the city. He also makes
garments to order for gentlemen , and as
his prices are always reasonable , we aa-
\ist-' our friends from this section of the
State visiting Boston to give him a call.

Fall in the Peice of Pork.—The

"Pork speculators are coming to grief.
Yesterday mess pork fell $2,75 per bar-

at the reduced rates. A tight money
market plays the duce with the gamblers
