sense OF the convention, composed Of men of all
parties, and from all sections Of the State that the
tariff OF lS46 has now had fair trial, and that
while some Of It's features unobjectionable, ts

the united voice Of New Jersey, such notifications
Of the tariff as shall again put their machinery in
motion, and afford full and profitable employment
TO the operatives who are now idle, and a home

The BLOOD OF AN lsEBRIATE.-Dr George Ste
phens Jones, OF Boston, communicates 20 the Med
zeal Journal the following singular though not un .
precedented case OF the transformation of the blood
ofan inebrate:
al was called upon in great haste TO sec patient
who was represented 70 be in dying condition.
and on my arrival at the house rsallU found him
sick, but far from being as bad as was represented
My patient had a severe attack Of plcuritis. The
symptoms being very urgent ! thought proper 10
take blood. The peculiar odor emitted by tho blood
while running from the vein, together with the
singular appearance il presented after remaining
IN the bowl some few minutes, led me TO a further
examination OF 1t. One-half Chat is, lateral halo
was OF the normal appearance when drawn from n
patient laboring under an inflammatory affection;
the other half had the appearance Of milk upon the
surface, so much 80 that questioned my assistants
10 the fact, although was quite positive as TO the
vessel being perfectly clean when handed tome
gave the bowl rotary notion yet the fluid would
not mingic, remaining just the same as when fret
observed.
"What is still more interesting, and TO which M
attention was attracted, we're tho fumes of alcohol
which were so strong that ono would have sup.
posed that article TO have been thrown in among
the blood did not apply lighted taper TO it. but
have not the least doubt that, if had, should have
seen II ignite, burning with It's lambert flame L.
ii at all strange that VIC find i'm autopsies of thos,
persons who arc in the habitual use of alcoholic
liquors such DISPOSITIONS and concretions? why
should not their tissues be transformed when their
blood has been 20 charged with carbon and hydro
gen, which is entirely foreign TO its vitality? Dis
ease, with all ts concoinitants, must needs make
its ravages; the stomach suffering first, the func.
tinued narcotism, softens, breaks and the creature
dies.

Honors TO the Dead.

The grand military funeral in honor
Of the illustrious dead--Maior General
WORTH, Colonel DUNCAN, and Major
GATEs-took place in New York city on
the l4th instant. The pageant, says the
Post, presented solemn and very impo-
sing appearance; the various military com
panies with their officers wearing the in
sigma of mourning, and the slow and SOL
emn peals Of martial music that reverbe-
rated through the quiet, though densely
crowded line of march, rendered the spec
tacle exceedingly impressive, and worthy
Of the occasion.
On the 18th, at 10 O'Clock, the remains
of General WORTH were to be conveyed
from the City Hall TO Greenwood Gene
terry, escorted by the regiment of National
Guards, and accompanied by the munich
pal authorities of Brooklyn.

From, the Rio Grsnde.

BY the steamship Galveston, Capt. Crane, from
Galveston and Brazos, have received the
Brownsville Flag TO the oath ult, inclusive.
The Flag of the 10th says that the Rio Grande
was then higher than it had ever been since 1916.
Ii was, however, falling, but almost the entire
| country was flooded
We take the following from that paper of the
oath ult.:
"News was received yesterday at Matamoros OF
the defeat of certain lgnatio Flores, (near Cruil
las) said TO be attempting instruction in Ia
maulipas: Canales, the president of the State Leg
lsature, had command of the force sent against
Flores, who, with about twenty men, were attacked
about midnight; of these four or five were killed,
and the balance taken prisoners. Among the last
was the SAID Flores, who was Immediately shot and
hanged to a tree by order of the commandant with
out trial II appears, in letter of Canaless pub
lished in Mexico. IL was stated that Flores had ten
thousand dollars in gold, and was on his way to
Brownsville. IL seems to us question whether the
charge Of revolutionary movements, or gold caused
his being thus translated from the world This
man Flores, during the war, loaned the govern
ment of Mexico some two hundred thousand dol
lars"
The people in Brownsville and Matamoros have
lately been thrown into excitement by the order
| recently issued by the General Government TO the
authorities OF the latter city, To exact passports and
Zee OF w on each, from persons coming on the
Mexican territory. The effect of this would be to
cut OIL communication between the two banks of
the river. The Flag insinuates that ii is at

the municipal expenses of Matamoros- being So

whole passport system is rank abuse. Editors

The San Antonio Ieran says that it is generally
believed IN very short time Ell Paso will be the
most populous city in Texas.
We take the following from the Flag of the 18th
ultimo
Sd Wolff was tried this week for manslaug hter,
in causing the death of Mr.. Alexander some months
ago. He was acquitted on the ground of having
committed the act in self defence; the jury was out
about an hour"
That paper says that the amount of various kinds
OF goods and manufactured articles, chiefly Ameri-
can, transported to market on the Rio Grande
during the past year, falls little short of s 900 900
Relative to the contraband trade on the Rio
Grande, the Bien Publico, of Matamoros says:
owe know, from reliable sources, that for one
year the importation into Brownsville has been
66,6OO,OOO yards of cotton goods the value of
S4,OO0,p00; there is no doubt whatever that these
goods have not been consumed in Brownsville, nor
Is there doubt as to their having been introduced
clandestnely into our country. If these goods had
paid the moderate duty of two cents per yard, our
national treasury would have received into its cof
fers 1872 900, instead whereof the amount received
IN this maritime custom house is scarcely So 900"

TExAs-By the arrival here yesterday of the
steamship Galveston, Capt. Crane, from Galveston
the 9th inst, we have received the Civilian and the
Ne,os of that port, and other papers from the int

The Cipilian Of the 30th ult. states that a comma
ny Is about to be started in Galveston entitled The
Galveston and Brazos Navigation Company, for the

be 900, with the privilege of increasing it TO
$3OO,00O to be divided into shares of S 10 each.
We take the following from the Victoria Aduocate

typographical Errors.

We admit that printers have their own share
Of troubles with almost illegible manuscripts
When one is busiIy engaged in his labor, to be
obliged to stop and guess and puzzle his brains
over a word-or rather over some indefinite,
quizzical- looking marks, which stand in the
place in which word ought TO be-is certainly
a very great trial TO human patience. But
printers often take rich revenge. Our regular
avoeations do not permit US at all times TO cor
rect the proof of our articles, and We are some.
times astonished and often amused at what We
are made to say. We say nothing of the 'bad
grammar" which is sometimes put into our ar
ticles-to that We have become insensible. The
use Of nominalives in the plural before verbs in
the singular, is SO plural in character that we
have ceased TO regard II as singular. But some
times more important blunders are made. In
an article translated from the French on the
subject of Lamartine's alleged madness, the
poet was represented as eating songs and tunes
out of dish! la our last number We intended
10 say, 1.-The next man that comes forward to
defend slavery from the Bible, will have his
mouth filled with high-sounding words about
slavery in the abstract; but We assure mankind
in general, and every individual in particular
that he will have nothing to say in regard TO hi.
matter"-that Is, marriage among slaves. The
printer made us say that "will have nothing

all, tits not the one that we intended.

among the very many changes which are
proposed to be made in the Constitution. IN,
proposal 10 substitute the system of voting Inv
ballot for the present mode Of casting votes. i
one which we think, demands especial atten.
ton. IL is a change which peace and morality
requirrs, and TO which We think the majority Of
the voters In Kentucky are favorably inclined
By some IL is much protested against, but the
principal objection that we have seen uryed
against IL is, that balot-voting is not indepen-
dent enough; that votes should he cast lea,
lessly and openly. Persons who are so YER y
anxious that every one should know for VIII ON
they cast their votes, would not be more re.
strained under the system Of voting by ballot
than they are under the present mode. They
could make their sentiments and the name Of
the man whom they support as public as thew
please, but we believe that majority of the
voters oil this Commonwealth would very much
prefer TO go quietly to the polls cast their votes
by ballot, and retire 20 their homes or business.
without subjecting themselves to the taun,s a nd
sneers Of every rowdy and bullying braggadocia
who happens TO differ with them in opinion.
and who are TO be found at every place of voting
and without making themselves liable TO receive
the insulting insinuations, questionings &C., of
every demagogoe and upstart politician of the
opposite party for months after the election In
over. We say then, let us have this change.
