Ad,ournnent Of the ConventIon--0hIo
gtaGesraan.

Statesman.
We announced last week that the
Constitutional Convention had adjourned
until December. By the act of adj ourn
ment it is provided that the Convention
shall meet in Cincinnati, instead of Co
lumbus.
Concerning the propriety of the ad-
journmenL we shall not impugn the
motives or question the correctness of
the opinions of majority of that body;
but concede that they were the best
Judges of the act. The vote stood fifty
one for adjournment TO twenty nine
against it. The Statesman, with its
accustomed disregard of truth and want
Of candor, charges that the adjournment
is Wing measure, which originated in
Wing caucus, for the purpose of ma
king trouble, of injuring the standing of
the Locofoco members with the people,
ct cetera.
We apprehend that the people under
stand facts sufficient about the Conyen-
ton to render them rather incredulous
to Mr.. Medary's story. That the Con-
vention is largely Locofoco-that the
adjournment was moved by leading
Locofoco member, Gen. Loudon, of
Brown, are facts which alone would
suggest, if there was need of making
either party responsible for the actthat
the Wings were not guilty. But when
it is farther understood that portion of
the Locofocos who voted against the ad-
journment, had expressed themselves in
favor and only voted nay for Gppearan-
ces, when they ascertained that ma
jority were for it-that of the twenty
nine members who voted nay, sixteen
Of them left Columbus that (Monday)
night, and left the Convention without a
quorum on Tuesday morning, to which
time they had adjourned, Mr.. Medary's
character for honesty and candor, for
truth and veracity, will be but little inn
proved.
The truth is, that Medary is as little
satisfied with a large nu nber of his
own party in the Convention as he is
with the Wings. No one who has read
the Statesman, during the sitting of the
Convention. can have failed to notice
this. He says they have been over
reached by the Wings, and made to be-
lieve that party spirit ought to find no
place in the Convention. II is this
same class of men, he charges, who
united with the Wings to procure the
adjournment.
II is well enough that the people
should know who are the men that have
excited the displeasure Of the Statesman
Editor. They are the men who believe
their duty, as members of the Conven-
fion, calls for the exercise of other mo
tives than those of purely party char
ecter-men who do not believe in burn.
ing every bank and then marching
through the State by their light, as was
the language of a leading Loco member
of the Legislature few years since
and reiterated in the Convention the
other day-men that being able TO think
and judge for themselves have dispensed
with Mr.. Medary's services in that
line-men upon whom the State ct large
mainly rely for framing such Consti.
tuition as will meet the wants OF the
whole people.

UhoIera Abroad.

Cholefu Abroad.
We learn from our South Wes-
tern exchanges that the epidemic has
prevailed, to a considerable extent,
in all the places where it appeared
last season.
We received yesterday, an extra
from Nashville, announcing that, by
agreement among the publishers of
the daily papers of that place, their
publication is suspended until the
abatement of the disease.
We find the following cholera intel
ligence in the Louisville Courier of
Thursday:
We are panied TO have TO record
the death OF Capt. RoBr. STEELE, of
this city, who breathed his last at
2 o'clock yesterday morning, from
Inflammation in the brain, superin-
duced by an attack of cholera. Capt.
S. has for some time been in rather
feeble health, and the attack was
brought on by imprudence in eating
green apple and raspberry pie for
dinner, on Sunday last. Capt S. was
a very estimable man in all the walks
of life, and his death will create a
void in the family circle and among
his numerous friends, that cannot be
filled.
Mr.. Smith, an omnibus driver,
who resided on Main street, died OF
the cholera evening before last
He was attacked with the disease at
Drennon, and returned home on the
Bluo Wing on her last trip.
We learn that there were FIVE
cholera deaths at Frankfort yester-
day morning, the disease breaking
out in the quarter known as "Irish-
/ town."
We mentioned yesterday morning
that lady who had arrived from
Drennon on the evening pre-
vious, had been attacked with chol-
era. She was a Mrs. Denny, from
Louisiana, and her attack terminated
fatally yesterday afternoon. We
understand the attack was brought
on by fear. Her husband, who was
at Lexington on business, arrived
here last evening TO find his wife a
corpse.
CHOLERA IN SHELBYvILLE.-We
copy the following from the Shelby
News Of yesterday:
On Thursday last, our citizens
were considerably startled by the
announcement that the sporadic
cholera had appeared in our town.
The first attack was developed on
Wednesday night-terminating IA
tally on Thursday. Six or seven
other cases occurred on Thursday,
four or five Of which terminated Ia
tally. And from Thursday evening
until Monday evening, there had
been some twenty or twenty-five
cases, some seven Of which termina-
ted fatally. On Monday night there
were two new cases (negroes) in
town, and one "a white many in the
vicinity.
The cases which terminated fatally
up to four o'clock on Tuesday eve
ming are Mr.. Samuel DuPuy, one of
our most respectable and aged citi-
zens, and seven negroes. There
have been upwards Of thirty cases
besides those terminating fatally. So
far as we can learn by inquiry, the
most wanton neglect had been mani
Tested on the part Of those who have
died, in the first stages of the disease.

Neslern Mail Transpor!ation.

The Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Intelligencer writes as follows:
"Frink, Walker & co. s mail contracts are
embraced within the states of Illinois, Nilsson
ri, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Their annual mail money amounts TO nearly
one hundred and thirty thousand dollars,
which will probably be increased twenty thou
sand dollars per annum more. In Illinois,
their contract pay is within fraction. Of sew
enty-eight thousand dollars year, and in
Missouri, about twenty-five thousand. At
these rates, they will receive from the United
States during the coming four years, an ag-
gregate Of six hundred thousand dollars
From this you can form some estimate of the
extent Of the contracts they have secured uu-
der the late lettings"

Small Sweet COurtesies Of Life.

Extract from letter of the late William
Writ 20 his Daughter:
Il want to tell you a secret. The way TO
make yourself pleasing to others, Is TO show
that your care for them, The whole world is
like the miller at Mansfield, ''who cared for
nobody-no, not he-because nobody cared
for him" And the whole world will serve
you so, if yon give them the sa me cause
Let every one, therefore, see that you do care
for them, what Sterne SO happily calls, ''the

tesies in which there IS no parade; whose
voice is still, to please, and which manifest
themselves BY tender and af1ectionate looks,

Supreme Court ofthe United States in the case
against Ephraim Briggs, ,fortrespass in cutting
timber upon Government land. Instructions
have been lately issued tothe several District
Att'ys, from the General Land Office, "to
prosecute with vigor" all trespassers upon

March ID, 1881, is fine Of triple the value
of the timber cut, and Imprisonment for one
year; all who cut or remove, or cause, or pro-

Here is a beautiful thing from the pen Of
Mrs. Cornwall Barry Wilson:
- Please my lady buy a nosegay, or be-
stow a tri5e," was the address Of pale, ena-
ciated, sick woman, holding few witbered
flowers in her hand, to lady who sat on the
beach, at Brighton, watching the blue waves
Of the receding tide.
" / have no pence my good woman" said
the lady looking up from the novel she was
perusing with a listess gaze; g" If l had, |
would give them to you"
g l am poor widow, with three helpless
children depending On me; ecouH you be-
stow a small trIfe TO help US on our way y
q have no half PENCE" reiterated the Ia
dy, somewhat pettishly.
" Really" she added as the poor applicant
turned meekly away, . this is worse than
the streets of London; they should have a
police on the shore 10 prevent annoyance"
They were the th0ughtless dictates ct the
head.
" Mamma" said a blue-eyed boy, who
was playing on the beach at the lady's feet,
tlinging the pebbles into the sea 8 l wish you
had penny, for the poor woman does look
hungry and you know we are going to have
a nice dinner, and you have promised me
glass Of wine.
The heart Of the lady answered the appeal
of the child; and with a blush OF shame
crimsoning her cheek at the tacit reProof the
artless words conveyed, she opened her retl-
cule, placed half crown in her boys hand
and IN another moment he was bounding
along the sands on his errand Of mercy.
In a few seconds he returned, his eyes
sparkling with delight, and his features glow
ing with beauty. Oh, mamma, the poor
woman was so thankful she wanted TO turn
back, but | would not let her; and she said
God bless the noble lady, and you too, my
pretty lamb my children will now have bread
two days, and we shall 60 on our way rejoic'
ing"
The eyes Of the lady glistened as she heard
the recital of her child, and her heart told hel
that its dictates bestowed pleasure the cold
reasoning Of the head can never give.

New Diving Apparatus.

a novel and successful experiment took
place yesterday at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn.
1t was the testing the powers of Mr.. VIM.
kennish's new diving apparatus. It was
moored off the north end of the new Dry
Dock from a large derrick into the river
The machine appeared like and is made SINH
lar TO large semIcircular boiler of about
feet long and about - by 10 feet wide, sur
mounted at the top by an iron railing, about
three feet six inches high. In the centre was
an aperture sufficiently large to admit a full
grown person, on either side of which were
three valves, with ieathern hose pipe of some
Is or 18 inches In diameter, for admitting
fair and emitting foul air within. Shortly
after eleven o'cIock, all being in readiness, Mr..
Charles Tear, second mate OF the packet ship
West Point, entered the machine and the
cover was screwed down and made perfectly
air tight above him. 1t was then lowered
some II feet TO the bed Of the river, where it
remained for upwards of one hour and ten
minutes fiom the time il was lowered. the
person within audibly making known to those
above, his wants and wishes during the whole
time. It was then drawn up and the cover
removed, when the party immersed came out
as fresh, as little affected and as dry as when
he entered. He described what he saw at
the bottom Of the river, and said he felt not
the least affected while in the machine or at
the bottom that he could with the greatest
ease have used a pick, crow-bar, or any 9TH
er instrument, had it been necessary; that If
he had food and drink he thought he could
have stopped down there week without the
least difficulty.
The machine IS capable Of containing four
persons, so as to be able to work therein for
several hours at time. They can be so
constructed as to contain ten or twenty men
il necessary. One is now being built to sus-
tain ten men, and is to be attached to a large
floating derrick, and the air pumps are to be
worked by steam; this is first TO be moored
and sunk over where the Lexington was lost
some years since, with the hope thereby Of
recovering some S180,OOO IN specie said to
have been on board the ship at the time.
There were great number Of the most
able, talented and scientific gentlemen of this
city, Brooklyn, one from Washington, and
another from Boston, together with the prIn-
cipaI naval officers Of the State, present yes
terday, aud they expressed themselves per
fectly satisfied with the experiment made,
and the success of the article as well, after
examining its construction. It IS a very diff
ferent instrument to the diving bell formerly
ssed for such purposes, and worked IN diff
Eerent manner altogether-it has a new fea-
ture, which makes it a novelty, and entirely
different from any other. 1t is otraised and
lowered by tackle, but by the force Of air
