COLUMBUS. July A.

The ever glorious Fourth Was very ap-
prcpriately celebrated at the &c 'pitu" 10.
day, and Democratic State Convention
to nominate candidate for member of the
Board of Public Works, was also "on
hand" My peculiar predictions led me
to attend the convention rather than the
"big doin's" the Fourth, and hence shall
give brief account only Of those things,
which came under my observation.
The convention met in The old Senate
chamber at 10 o'clock, and effected tenn.
porury organization by calling Judge An
derson, of Butter CO., to the Chair, and up-
pointing DR.. Sheridan, Of Ashland Secre-
tary.
The names af the several counties
were then called over, and the delegates
present presented their credentials, after
which committee consisting Of one dele
gate from each congressional district, was
appointed to report the names of officers
for the permanent organization Of the con-
vention--also, like committee on resou-
tions. The convention then took recess
till 2 a'clock P. M.
AT the opening of the afternoon SESSION,
the committee on permanent officers re-
ported the nnmes Of Barnabus Burns, of
Richland, for President, and G. L. Vallan-
digham, Of Montgomery, for Secretary.
The convention then proceeded to vote
by counties fora candidate for member of
the Board Of Public Works, and five votes
were had before making choice. only
give you the first and last vote:

POPULATION OF WESTERN CIrIEs.-The census is
nearly completed in Cincinnati, and it is suppo
sed that it will show the population to be $780,
600. The st. Louis Union learns from those enga-

laton will not be far from 100000 The census of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin shows population of 20,026.

To conclude we the Editor, write this among the incorr

The above extract is taken from the concluding pa
ragraph of the leading article in the Journal of the
9th inst. As will be SEEM it contains most palpa-

last consideration doubt accounts for its discove-

unnecessary to say, that grammatical and in
accuraces are of every day occurrence in periodical
compositions; but that any one having any expert

guilty of blunder glaring as that which occurs
in the extract with which we have prefaced this ar

New CAR.-Mr. w C. Randolph and George
Vogler, of this place, have put up kind of
Car Truck something of the sort, which has
cited considerable interest in Town, for few
days past. They intend taking out patent ight
for it. 1t is capable of transporting they think, by
the power of one horse more, than two teams of six
horses with the common road wagon. However this
may be, it is very evident looking at the model,
which they have made, that working Car built al
ter the PLAN could sustain all the weight that could
be placed upon it. There axles to break,
wheels to crush and we doubt not very smooth
hard road one horse could draw almost a mountain
of lead. We afraid, however, that on common
roads it may not be found to answer. But off,
set fears must mention the confidence ofsuc-
cess of Messrs Randolph and Vogler, either of them
being far more competent than we to decide the
question. We sincerely trust mistaken, and
little interest If it should so turn OUT why then
here is great thing, which, for many purposes is
destined to lay road wagons eompletey in the shade

Br 1t is officially stated, that Jenny Lind has de-
ermned to give the entire net proceeds of her visit
to America, whatever they may amount to- to the
tablishment of a system of Free Common Schools in
Norway and Sweden This, if true, and there
seems to be no reason doubt it, is something alto
gether without precedent in the history of public
singers and actors, and places Jenny Lind far a
bove her contemporaries in the noble and generous
impulses of the heart in the possession of brilliant
talent and unrvalled professional eminence.

Proposed Change In the Tariff.

''Henrico," the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Bulletin, says that I" Mr.. CLAY is now
engaged in drawing up Tariff scheme, which will
be presented to Congress at the opening of the next
session. The administration and Mr.. CLAY are ad-
juncts in this matter and it is believed, by this
means, that change of the system of 1916 may be
Effected It is said that Pennsy vana will vote for
the measure, and that this will carry it through
This last we look upon very questionable. We
hardly think that any Southern man, Wing Or Dem
ocra would be far recreant to his duty to vote
for Tariff bill to tax his own section for the benefit
of an interest which has been bending all its
GIGS to effect the degradation and ruin of the South
and without Southern aid, restrictive Tariff bill
can be passed. We shall watch the course of our
Representatives upon this question.

The Cotton Crop.
| We recently passed through some of the largest
Cotton growing Counties in this State, to wit An
son, Mecklenburg and Richmond; and if we may
Judge from Appearances and from the reports which
we received, the crop bids fair to be one of the lar
gest which has ever been made in this State. We
were particularly struck with the appearance of the
Cotton on the Pee Dee, both in Richmond and An
son. At present prices, which we believe will be
maintained throughout the coming year, the plant
ers of Cotton in this State will receive an ample re-
turn for their expenditure of time and money which
will be needed to compensate for the losses sustained
during some of the years Immediately preceding. It
is probable that the grain crop will be about one
fourth below an average. In some places the de-
struction by the storm of a month since, has been
very great, in others comparatively light Its vio-
lence extended west of the Blue Ridge.
P. S. Since the above was penned, we have re-
ceived the marlborough Argus of the 18th inst.
AAon "H11H III "oulu appear InaC the cotton has
sustained far more injury than had been supposed.
The Argus says: the crops in this county are much
more injured than was at first supposed. The fod-
der is very much split up, making the task of gath
ering it very difficult The cotton too, is perhaps
worse hurt than the corn, being twisted round and
its roots loosened, that its growth is very much
checked. Were it not for this the cotton crop would
perhaps be medium one. AS it is, we fear it |
will fall far Short
We still inclined to think that the cotton
crops in this state will be full average.
