Turner's plan for an Industrial University, which
appeared in this paper last week, pronounces it

times, II by "our present system OF education

next Governor.

"a the time approaches when the democratic
party will again meet in convention to nominate
n candidate for Governor of this state, the friends
Of different individuals begin to push forward
their fayorites. We see already announced as
candidates that will be presented to the cOuven-
ton next spring the names Of the Hon. J. \. Mat
teson, Col John Dement,, Hon. f. c. Sherman,
and Hon. Newton Cloud and a few others are
spoken Of privately but no! yet announced.
We agree entirely with our respected cotempo-
rary OF the Joliet Signal, that ut is right that all
should have their personal preferences and ex
press them il they think proper and we can see
no reason why editors should be less free to speak
out than other people. If all the papers in the
state should speak out freely and canddly on the
subject, but not in a way to wound or give Of
fence, there would be less occasion as their would
be less opportunity for management and corrup-
ton in conventions, The S,g,,dl takes occasion
at once to express its preference for the Hon. j
A. Mattescn, in an article from which the follow.
ing is an extract:
We take this occasion TO declare that we be-
lieye Hon. j. Mateson is emphatically tue man
who should be chosen by the democracy as their
candidate His business talents, his experience
in public matters and energy and decision ofcha'
facier, qualify him especially to manage the ex.
eeutiye department Of our state fer the next fonr
years. For the last eight years be has been a
member Of our state senate, IN which capacity he
proved himself true to the interests Of bis cOnsti
n,l clty mi "a, -l..n
Although We hold in the highest estimation
the distinguished democrats whom we have nam
eds above, and would cheerfully support either Of
them with all our might for the office of Cover
nor, we are free to own that our personal prefer
encg is also for Mr. Matteson. Wcarc influenced

The Case of the Prome,heus.

II is a common thing for the pa pers through
out this country to catch a; straws, and then
cry out to the world, "sca serpents" or saw
logs" Hence, we find most of the papers al
the present time bristling up at England, and
his Majesty of straw, the Mosquito King, for
their recent conduct towards the American
Steamer, Pr0mstbeas, in the harbor of Grey
town, Nicaragua, as she was leaving with a
large number Of returning Caliiurniaus. We
have RETAINED from saying anything upon the
subject before, IN hopes of receiving correct
story, in due time, through an authentic
source. This we have finally obtained in a
letter from the Captain of the steamer, pub.
lished in the New York papers, from which it
appears that The Captain involved himself in
trouble, and his vessel and passengers in peril,
by an attempt to leave the harbor without pay
ing the customary port charges. The author.
ties made the usual demand for tonnage dues,
which the Captain refused TO pay, on the
ground that it was Illegal As Il matter OF
course, an attachment was served on the YES.
sci by the civil power. There was bat one
thing for him to do, under these ciicums ianccs
-lte should have paid the money under pro.
test, relying upon his own government to OK.
act reparation from the civil authorities Of the
place, if they had done him wrong. But in
stead thereof, he set the authorities at def
ance, and thinking, probably, that the Govern.
mcnt was without the power to enforce its
laws hois,cd anchor, and dropped down with
the current. The Express, an English man.
of.war brig, lying near, intercepted the Prone.
heuS, firing shot over her bow and stern,
Captain Churchill prudently lay to,
sent Il boat on board the brig 10 ask an expll.
nation, and was told that the brig would pro.
tcct the authorities of Greytown in their law.
full dcIna nds, that he mus, return and pay the
charges of the port, which h. did, entering
protest at the same time. These are the facts
in the case, derived from the statement under
the Captains own hand That his conduct (
was unjustItiablc, seems to Us perfectly clear. Z
The only question is, as to the right Of the
British officer to interfere. The authority Of !
John Bull on the Mosquito Shore is not very
well defined His claims are large, but they I
have not all been recognized yet. If the off. .
Ger has done wrong, the British Ministry, on |
the representation Of our Government, will ad. /
minister the proper rcbukc.
