Special to tke Courier-JomrnaL lfojmcELLO, May 8. The Democrat of Wayaa county have instructed for Owsley, Hindman, Hardin, Hewitt, Tate, Smith and Corbel, flOW IT WAS DONE. Graphic Recital of the Manner in Which the State Primaries i Ib th Inaccessible Caustics Satmrdaj Were Reported for the Sunday CvsrlerJosrsai. the Beralts of Oonvratiom the Wilde of Eaeten Kentucky, Eijhty-firelCilea Distant Tslegraphsd to This Paptr Ampla Tima for tha Next Day's Issue. In AN INTERESTING RECITAL.

There is something in the Courier- Journal's report of tbe Democratic primaries to be proud of. It is the culmination of two months of hard, unrelenting work. It gives tha news accurately, conveniently and completely within twelve hours after tbe adjournment of tbe convention. To accomplish this our special telegrams had to cover the entire State 117 counties. Tbe cost was enormous, and the trouble is something not to be computed.

At first blush the report seems improbable if not impossible. Fifty-four of the county seats a of which iU I found further on are situated from to eighty-five miles from telegraph stations, one-half of them hid away in nearly impenetrable fastnesses. Tue mails are poor contractors in matters of this kind. Special measenrs had to bo fitted out with horses, and, armed with bank checks, they melted tbeir wsy into the remotest nooks and corners of tbe State, paying aa they went, appointing correspondents to write up the conventions and messengers to deliver tbe report. The most difficult district to cover was Eastern Kentucky, extending from Big Sandy to the 'lennessee line and embracing the counties of Montgomery, Bath, Rowan.

Powell, Menifee, Elliott, Lawrence, Wolfe, Morgan, Johnson, Martin, Lee, Breathitt, Magoffin, Floyd, Clay, Perry, Letcher, Pike, Knox, R-ll and Harlan. Excepting the first few counties, this district wouldn't know a steam engine if it met one in the road. The telegraph lines have not intruded, and the good people are content with their families and tbeir farms and an occasional Courier-Jodrxal to voice the doings of the great world that stretches away beyond their peaceful horizon. The tortuous bridle paths that do duty as roads wind through hills primeval, over ravines and leau into deep running streams, whose driftwood has never been disturbed by anything more energetic than a flatboat. I.T THIS SFRIXQ BEASOX the heavy rains have flashed every creek.

and traveling is attended with great dangers. ine "mountain vote" ha lifted many a State convention from its feet. There is a marie in the shibboleth, "a mountain man," and time and ag in have they swung their strength in the councils of the State with royal favor. It is an important section of the State. Its mountains bristle with walnut and other valuable timber that will be priceless in years to come.

Tbe ground is cavernous with mines of coal and ore. Although many of these counties have but one or two votes in the convention, our renort would be incomplete without them, and we have procured them at great expense. Tbe county of Bell, with only one vote, ha coat tbe LOCRlER-JocRXAL more to renort than has the seventy votes of Louisville and Jefferson county. Mr. Theodora Stuart, the bright and push ing editor of tbe Mt.

Sterling Democrat, was given entire charge of tbe Eastern end of the State, and that be has done his work carefully, systematically and well goes without ying. He appointed Mr. Ed. C. Orear, a rising young newspaperman of Mt.

Sterling, to viait ine nortoern end of tbe district and arrange for the counties to be reported. He contributes a graphic report of his perilous trip, wbicb proclaims him not only a careful observer but a graceful writer. Mr. C. C.

Turner, a son of Congressman "Tom" Turner, took charge of the southern end of the district, riding through the eleven counties upon horseback and doing most faithful ser vice. To these enterprising young gentle men the Courier Journal is indebted for valuable assistance. Mr. Orear telegraphs the following report of his trip from Peach Orchard, Lawrence county: MR. OREAR 8 RIDE.

Special to tin Courier-Journal. Peach Orchard. May 6. I boarded the midnight train at Mt. Hterlinj on tbe 16th ult.

for he Sandy Valley with the command to bave thoae counties reported, no matter what tbe cost or trouble. 1 arrived at Ashland C. and J. Junction about four o'clock. We were put off, the fast train not stopping in tbe city.

Taking tbe 9:15 a. M. train on tbe Chattaroi for Louisa, I found myself fairly on my tourney, with tbe mountains looming and the Sandy river booming and anything but a pleasant journey before me. I left the train at LeuLsa aud hired a horse after dinner, and after arranging for the specials from that place. I started on the rough part of my iournev.

I ferried tbe Louisa fork my next county, Martin, lying between it and tbe Tnsr fork of that river, and here I saw what was in store for me. Both forks of the Sandy were booming and drift wood was running in large quantities, showing very plainly that toe creeks were up. I would try to describe minutely my trip, but it would be almost as bard to do as to travel it again. I had gone but a few miles when 1 learned that Hock -castle was up, and that I would bave to go several mile out of my way to cross. At tuis bridge the distance from Louisa to Eden, tbe county seat of Martin, la only twenty five miles, but I waa till 9 o'clock next luorninir inakinz it.

After makuig arrangements for Martin I imiurdi tely set out for raintsville, in Johuaoa county, arriving there a little after dark, with both myself and hone nearly fag'ed, aud both so wet and muddy tuat we were unrecognisable. THE WORST TROCRLE that I had experienced up to date was in keeping on the right road. For instance, I would be away out in the woods several mile from any houae and would suddenly come where the road forked, each one look-Rig like it might be the rigiit one. I would finally make a guess and was just as apt to guess wrong as any other way. 1 would generally find out in aa hour or two, and it would then take twice that time to correct the error.

Imagine mv disease ones when after working and gn easing and reasoning wmcn roaa to take 1 found oa a trial few minutes later that thev both merged into one. Again, tbe people in some sections of tbe counties throutra which I are very inquisitive, together with their good nature and oblizinz wars. I would ask, especially after passing the forks of a road, how far it was to so and so, naming the place. After answering the query, the good person would say, peering at me rloee- nac migut yournatiie ti" ISow my ia hard to pronounce ami dial cult for them to understand, so I thought I wdbld soma other shorter, that would answer the purpose equally aa well. 1 answered.

It would take too much time and apaos to give tbe details of ail my mishaps, trials and troublea, of eUmbering mountains by moonlight, deacending rockv gorgea, beading in and out ainoogUoreet trees along patbs all unknown to we.

kt visits to rAurrsrnxs, Johnson county, Prestonburg and Pikeville were wituoot note extraordinary, save tnat I had any amount of rough, bard riding to do to make the dacea by tbe time set for. On Saturday night, I stopped on Middle Creek, in Floyd county, lor the night, after very bard ride all day. Dunn; the night it commenced to rain, aud morning fouud the streams beginning to swell and the roads heavy and muddy, but I pushed on to Salyersvilie, Magoffin county, and made arrangements tbeie to bave the dispatches taken through. I was told there that I could not go ou or return for tue high waters, but I determined to try it. It was raining bard and tha branches and creeks were becoming swollen and angry, cumiug half way up to my hones liiea, and running so swift as to nearly wash us away.

1 pusoed on, determined to reach Wesi Liberty, Morgan county, that niicht. By this time tbe waters were mging with fearful force, the creeks running out of their banks and swimming to a horse. About 3 o'clock in the evening I came to tbe last ford of Licking river between me and my destination, i had crcl that stream at noon about six miles sbove, snd found it to be within a very few inches of swimming, and the tributaries crossed since were swimming, so I knew what to expect. AT THIS FORD tbe waters were muddy and angry looking, and floating a great deal of drift-wood and logs. My borae as tired and fagged.

Tue ram came down in torrent, tbe lihtninz flashed at qnick intervals and peal after peal of thunder shook tbe very mountains. My horse, though young aud spirited, quaked and trembled and refuted to enter thu nvr. After much coaxing and beatiug he finally ventured in but hud not gone three step before he had to swim. Once the current ture' him and he completely disappeared. Column up strangled aud" frightened, be maue renewed effort to get to the shore.

The heconi time be went under I was beginning to be concerned about our safety when be urme and made a few desperate inures, seemingly on de.s;wiii-,au i struck a here he rested, pautm and trembling, tor a few minutes, uu 1 in a sh irt time reauie i the shore in safely. Ascending a mountain along this ruad lined with forest trees, we proceeded in tue undst of one of i he must terrific storms I ever witnessed. Yes, I will acknowledge that the situation was auy thing but pieasunt, and if any man ever teils mj that he was never soured, I will conclude at once that he was never in a tuuntier-storm alone on horseback mountain country. a ARRIVED AT WIST L1RERTT, I rested for a day, and then started for Letcber by wuy of Wolfe, Breathitt an 1 herry counties. I rode hfty nine, the tirst day, whicQ lauded tue lu Jackson, the couu-ty seat of liivathitt.

1 he next morning I suited lor bnt Couldn't go oulv a few miles for hili water. 1 was aoout worn out swimniin, so 1 rttumd to Jackson, ueie I was taken sick mid was compelled to go to bed for a few days. linwever, 1 started a man out to to Wbitesburg, tbe county seat of Lqtvher, disUnco seventy tuile, and to make arrangements for carrying the proceedings ol ttiat county to the nearest telegraph offlcj. '1 lie waters were too lngu tor him to ride through ou horseback, which is near 100 miles. As soonfcj I was able I returned to Logan and sent my horse through to Loui a by the mail, and went across tue country lo the Cheeapeae and Ohio railroad, where I to a train for Peach Orci.nr.l, a mining ktation at the ter-niuius of the Chuttirui railroad, where I was to meet thu messengers of Martin, Johnson, Floyd, Pike, Letcher and Magoffin counties on tue night of tbe 5th.

Xhj sum total of traveling ou my part necessary to do th.s over several of the roughest roads e.ist of tbe Ml-eissippi river, Rnd priucilly 0:1 horse-back, was 6t3 miles. I passed through eleven counties, and the most of them twice. At many places tbe fare as wretched, 1 the weather and sur-rouuiling circumstance anything but agreeable, and when 1 thought of thu tue messengers' duties seemed uoubly hard, for the dis. auces that 1 look two and three days to make they were COM rCLLED TO MAKE IS TWELVE HOURS, and mostly after dark, when every one else in all this vast scope' of mountain country wa asleep. All last night the rocky gorge and steep hills and pebbly creeks resounded with tne hoofs of flying horses, carrying C'olrhk-JourxaL messenger.

At the station, a little mming vldage. usually quiet at darn, and in the telegraph office sat the operator and correspondent with aching temples, and anxious to be relieved lroui duty, while every hour a panting steed, reeking with sweat, was reined at the depot, with rider but little lea tired from hard and in some instance miraculous journey. Mr. Elicrum, the messenger from Martin, had ten miles to ride. O.

Meek, of Painuvule, twenty-six miles, crossing Sandy river once. Tbe Prestons-burg message, sent by Hon. T. G. Fitxpatnck, came thirty-eight milee, the messenger crossing the nver twice, coming via Pauitsville.

L. D. Mam, the Pike messeager, had eixiy-fi re il est ride, crossing tbe river three times and the ruad very rough. The Letcher messenger, sent byJ.B. Fitspatrick, came eighty-Jive miles ovr roads that won't bear description, he having to pass through Letcher, 1'ike, Floyd and Johnson counties to Peach Orchard in Lawrence, coming from tbe head of the Kentucky river to near the mouth of tbe Sandy.

The Magoffin county messenger, seat by V. P. Tauiuee, came vie PainUvilie, dietanc forty-four mile, and tbe most of all the riding was after dark, 6ver muddy roads and no moon shining. That any ol tueui got in by the time appointed seems wuuderul to me, with the experience 1 have of this kind of traveling. MR.

TUKXEa'S TRIP. Mr. Theodora Stuart telegraphs from Mt. Sterling tbe lollowing review of Mr. Turn er's tour through tbe eleven southern counties of Eastern Ken tacky eiiameratedjabove: Special tu tke Courier-Journal.

Mt. Sieku.xo, May 6. Turner left here on April 1U and returned on May 1, alter traveling Uo-i miles on horseback swimming rivers aud creelcs and being detained by outers out of their banks. Me averaged about three luouutains a day on' the trip. He established stations and employed men and horses to carry messages over mountain roads that would frighten a low country man even to look at.

uen he says that rivers are to be crossed, be means that they must be forded. By roads he means the mountain paths, where a man who is not familiar needs a guide. At Pineville. in Bell county, J. M.

Hoe-kins prepared th report and J. M. Unthauk rod to London, forty miles, over the worst road in Christendom, crossing Cumberland river en route. At Barbourville, Knox county. David Dhtbman, i sported th convention and John Biogan rod sixteen miles to Jofleld's teiegrapn station.

The country is very difficult to travel over, with no turnpikes aad the roads running from bad to worse. At ML Pleasant, Harlan county, John K. fTaneymada tbe report of the convention, ana Ueorge B.

Turner rode to tne nearest telegraph station. fifty miles away, that tbe Courier-Journal readers might koow -how the single vote of Harlan cast its influence in the State con-yntm. The road is very rough, with Cumberland river to ford. At Stanton. Powell county, Coombs took charge of th convention and camel the telegram to Mt.
