Ono Conference.-The constitutional Con-
vention of Ohio, is now in session, and from all
we can learn from their proceedings the work of
reform will progress and be finally consumatcd.
One of the questions before the Convention is,
whether it is not better to repeal all laws autho-
rizing the forcble collection of debts. This is
the first time we have heard this proposition
broached, and though we among the radicals
on questions of reform, we have not given this
subject that attention which should decide our
judgment in so important an issue.
We shall watch the proceedings of this con.
vention with much anxiety, as we hope for good
results to emanate from the feeling which is now
pervading the public mind on the necessity and
utility of making our laws correspond with our
social progress.

A letter in the Jounal Of Commerce, dated
Washington, the 3Oth, has the following
The Spanish Minister has expressed dssatis-
faction at the refusal of the Louisiana authori.
ties, at Key West, to deliver up the money
which the pirates had, when the Spanish com
mandcr demanded surrender of the Creole,
and the money he said there was on board, $780,
600, was robbed from the Royal Treasury of
Spain aa-' .u
The reply was, we have no force, those and
who have the money will not give it up. The
Spanish Admiral offered to put himself and his
entire force at the order Of the civil authority
of Key West for the purpose of attacking the
Creole and taking the money. This was declin>
ed The money, it is said will be restored by
order of the United States to the Spanish Gov

The position of Harlan, as leader of the wing
party and preacher, is similar to that of the per-
sonage, who was rebuked in the following terms:

Harlan was just wise enough to find that out,
and therefore declined the nomination.

son Mr.. Richard Miller, residing on Wright's
Mountain. rope swing was suspended in the
wood shed, and he thought to frighten his little
brother by putting it slip noosed round his neck,
and telling him he would hang himself The
little boy demonstrated, and ran into the house
and told his mother, but before she got to
him he was fairly hung, though his knees near
ly touched the ground, and life was extinct.
Probably he had nat been suspended in that
manner five minutes, but all efforts to restore
life proved unavailing -Bradford, w., Gazette,

A FAIR SuRRENDER.-Int the recent dismissal
Of Messrs. Bullitt and Sergeant, as Editors OF
the Government Organ, General Taylor made
perfect "surrender" to his Cabinet, portion
of whom were obnoxion to and the subjects of
direct assault by that paper. The Cabinet, made
it q personal matter, with the General, either to
give up his favorite Editor, whom he had brought
with him to Washington, or to dispense with
their services as members of his Council. The
struggle was hard, but contrary to the campaign
motto, Of /" General Taylor never surrenders"
he ucaUcd in.

The Nominations.

At the head of our columns will be found the
names of the candidates nominated at the Floyd
Convention for District and County officers.
With several of these gentlemen we have the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance; with some
Of them the public have been acquainted for a
long time, as they have served their country in
various important places of trust and profit
Warner Lewis the nominee for the Senate has
held various Offices in this county and SO far as
we have heard, he has discharged the duties de-
volving upon him with fidelity. He was the Re-
gister of the land Office in this place during Mr..
Folks administration, and gave way for Mr..
Mcknight on the accession of the Taylor ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Mobley the recent School Fund Com
missioner, having resigned on his appointment
to the Recelvership, Mr.. Lewis was appointed
to that office, which he has held by that appoint
ment and recent election up to the present
time.
If a long continued service in office be a guar
anty for public confidence, MIR. Lewis can give
unexceptionable recommendations.
With H. V. Gildea. one of the nominees for
Representative, we have the pleasure of long
acquaintance, and we can truly say of him that
he is MAN, highminded and honorable-con-
sistent and unwavering Democrat; indepen-
dent and above all those tricks of party and fac
tons which are so unfortunately prevalent in the
party organizations of our day.
1t is due to MIR. Gildea to say that he receiv-
ed the unanimous vote Of the Convention by
which he was nominated.
Mr.. Crawford has served the district before r
the Senate and it is certainly condescending OF
his part to consent to be candidate for tn,
House. His experience will be Of some service
and should be taken into account
MIR. Eaton was presented by the Convention
of Delaware County, it being generally conced
ed that Delaware should have Representative
He was nominated unanimously by the Dis
trict Convention.
Mr.. David S. Wilson, the candidate for pros
ecuting Attorney, is long and favoraby known
in this community. BY persevering persona
efforts he has won his way into the profession
Of the law, and now stands before his fellow cit
liens candidate for the important trust o
public prosecutor. We hope he may not only
be elected but give that satisfaction in office
which he has always given as private either
and good Democrat
Mr.. 1. T. Vanhagan has been re-nominateo
clerk of the District Court. He is also Record
er, Collector and Treasurer of Dubuque County
In nominating and electing him to so man.,
Offices we cannot but acknowledge that whole
some political rule has boon fagrantly violated
Thore is another rule, however, which says that
the majority must govern, and to it we bow in
submission.
The neminee for County Surveyor, Thomas
Hurley is modest, unobtrusive good citizen
and competent Surveyor His election will
give universal satfaction.

DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.-A let
ter from S. Williams, missionary to China, dated
Canton, Feb. IS, says: 'Intelligence had just
been received there from Pelin of the death of
the Emperor. The name Of this Emperor
was Taukwang, or the Glory of Reason, this
being the title he assumed on his ascension.
He was the second son of Kiaking, and the sixth
of the Using, or Manchau dynasty, which has
reigned over the celestial empire since 1914
Taukwang assembled the dragons throne in
1891, and has reigned twenty-ninc years. His
age was sixty nine" -. ..t5rs.

BROKEN BASKs.-Thompson' Bank Note
Reporter for May, contains list of thirty-one
broken banks of the most approved character up
to the moment of smashing.
The notes Of these rotten concerns are circu
lating all over the country, carrying ruin and
sorrow to the houses of thousands. We have
repeatedly advised our readers to refuse all such
trash is put in circulation by banks. 1t is not
currency; and is it not truly surprising that, af
ter SO many fearful warnngs-after SO many ru
nous losses from bank paper, men sciU continue
to put confidence in the hollow promises, when
ever a new set of heads have devised another Of
the cheats? Is this not wonderful?
Readers, we tell you again to beware-we
tell you again to countenance no other currency
than that which you not only know to be good
now, but that which you know must continue
to be good always
Every one Of you who takes bank note and
puts it in circulation, is tool of the banks-an
assistant in propagating fraud-for all bank
notes are frauds, more or less Not one of them
is good for what it proniscs-noo, not one Of
them.

A Nc,o Island Discorcrcd.-Thc Philadelphia
North American states that new Island entire
ly unknown to navigators, was discovered
November last by Capt. VIM. M Michael of the
ship Montauk, on voyage from Sidney, New
South Wales, to Shanghc, China, it lies between
Loo Choo Islands and Japan, about 100 degrees
06 minutes East from Greenwich. The notice
of it says:
1t was the eastern front Of the Island which
was seen by Capt. M Michael, and, sa far as he
was able to observe, it extended 1885 to nearly,
29,40, N. lat and from 1000 E. long, through
out which limits he coasted it, approaching
sometimes within ten to fifteen miles of the
shore. 1t is high in the middle and at the north
end; where the appearance is of coast of cliffs,
with number of small Islands close along the
shore; the south end being low, with reef all
around. Smoke was seen in several places
and, at night, many lights, as from fishing
boats.

The Reaction in California.

An intelligent and practical man, now resident
in California, gives the following prognostica-
ton for the benefit of his correspondent in the
city of New York:
v"SAN Francisco, March 81.
"Within period of sixty days, as near as
can calculate, there will be the deuce to pay, for
there is no real bushes doing here worth speak
ing of; indeed the town is about noisy, and
about as busy, New England village would
be on hot afternoon in August. The result of
this calm will soon be felt Men and business,
nay, the very atmosphere, with animate and
inanimate thing, seem at stand still, waiting
for some grand event, like the calm in summer
before the thunder storm! But it's approaching,
and will soon be upon us, and laundering storm
it will be. But it will quickly pass away, puri-
flying the business atmosphere in its course, and
business will then start afrcsh, and go on with
some regularity, and with some approach to sys-
tenn. The truth IS the harry is orer. The town
is bullt-there are houses enough-stores enough
merchandise, machinery, and mechanics e.
nough, indeed plenty of every thing. The
great drawback now is, the enormous price
at which real estate is held.-Prudent people
will not pay 500 per foot for land, to live or
build on for two years, and have not seen the
first person who talks ola longer period than
this as his time for remaing here; the consc-
quence is, that house frames can be bought for
what they cost with you. The town is filled
with all sorts of shops, gambling houses, &c.;
and those will be closed-that is, three quarters
of the owners will fail within sixty days, and
must retire to the mines. Then down will 90
the rents, and down the price of real estate and,
following these, many of the merchants will be-
come bankrupts and finally men and things will
find their own level, and healthy business will
spring up from the ruins VOLTA! my latest"
