of the Convention which framed the New
Constitution. In these stations of prom
inence over deliberative bodies, he always
received the unq Salifed testimonials Of
those over whom he presided, without re-

merely empty compliments, but cordial
and hearty expressions of esteem and re.

The prominence ever accorded to Col.
MEDILL was an endorsement of his politi-
cal course which naturally called him to a
wider sphere in the federal Legislature.
For many years he represented the Fair
field district in Congress, and in times too
that tried Democratic grit-the old days
when Hickory men stood by JACKSON in
his contests with the monster monopoly.
Of Col. POLK. This acquaintance led to
the selection Of Col. MEDILL to laborious
and important position in the General Post
Office. His usefulness in this department
was SO apparent that the President insisted
| upon his assuming that place in the gov
ernment now occupied by another distin-
guished Ohioan-the Indian Bureau. His
services in this untried office were con-
spicuous for integrity and ability. 1t was
an Office where opportunity for the display
OF these characteristics were amply given.
owing to the harpies which always hover
around it to prey upon its resources: The
universal voice of praise followed Col. Me-
DILL when he left it to the tender mercies
of the Galphin crew who came in with
TAYLOR. Such man as MEDILL could
not be retained bv such an administration
He was guillotined; only however to re-
ceive the nigh honor of presiding over the
most imposing body ever assembled in o.
hio.
Itis fitting and proper that the President
OF the Constitutional Convention should re-
Iceive the highest Office under it. Col
MEDILL already enjoys that distinction
: The people in the fall will not give him 9
vote less than the twentyseven Thousand
and over that he received two years ago
Mark that! Why should they! There ha!
been nothing since to discredit him bel for.

every man in Ohio. who has any self re

Col. Medill-Inauguration.

This morning at 10 clock, this gentle
man took upon himself the exercise Of the
office OF Governor of Ohio, which by the
fifteenth section of the third article Of the
new constitution devolves on him. COM
pany of Democratic gentlemen spontane
ously assembled at the Governors room
to witness the ceremony and congratulate
the Governor on taking the Gubernatorial
chair Many citizens from different parts
Of the State were present. The Mayor of
Columbus, Mr.. ENGLISH, administered the
oath to Col. MEDlLL, to support the Con-
stitution of the United; States and of the
State Of Ohio, and to faithfully and Impair
italy discharge the duties of Governor OF
Ohio. The best and happiest feelings pre-.
vailed on the occasion. This cordial hi
larity seemed to give assurance Of that
good natured unity of action among the
Democracy, which is the best augury for
future success.
The section above referred to, provides
that in case of the resignation of the Gov
ernor, the powers and duties of the office
for the residue Of the term shall deyolve on
the Lieutenant Governor.
Al the first election under the new con-
stitution, Col. MEDlLL was elected Lieu.
tenant Governor, over certain Mr.. Eek
LEY, by the enormous majority of twenty
seven thousand and seventy.five votes,-
receiving the sufrages Of one hundred and
forty six thousand and ify-two voters! In
the history of political success it rarely
falls to the lot Of any man. however con-
spicuous in intelligence, craftsmanship or
patriotic fidelity, to receive such a cordial
and glorious expression Of popular conf
dence. By that vote Col. MEDILL was des
ignated for the Office of Governor, in case
tho contingency should occur, which has
occurred by the resignation Of Governor
Woop. He is now our Governor by a
vote the people, not merely acting Gov
ernor so called; but the actual Governor in
all respects.
No man in the community embodies
more of the substantial and indispensable
requisites for the station to which the con-
stiiution and the people have called him,
than Col. MRDlLL.
He has been prominent actor in polit-
ical life. He has been tested in various
capacities. Old Democrats remember him
as masterly legislator. elected by the

The political news is not Of much inter-
est. In regard to the Turkish question,
every thing remained in doubt, and up TO

of the last uliimatum, by the Porte. was 10

the Russian forces had not crossed the
Pruth.
The report that Persia was about send

frmed.

parts Of Europe.
LATEST BY TELEGRAPH FROM PARIS TO LIv.
ERPoOL.
Telegraph dispatches from Paris state
that the news of the rejection OF the Cars
ultimatum had reached St. Petersburg on
the 24ih ult., when the Emperor made q
personal declaration to the English and
French ambassadors, expressed in the
strongest language. He stated that the
entire destruction of his fleets would not
prevent him from invading Turkey and
obtaining reparation. The fourth division
of the Russian army were ordered to enter
Moldavia, and the Russian force on the
Black Sea amounts to 10000 men.
The Emperor complains bitterly Of the
conduct Of the British Premier. and had
sent forward peremptory instructions tc
the Russian Minister at London to confine
himself to official intercourse with the Brit
ish Secretary OF State.
The advices from China are to the 9Th
May. 1t was rumored that the rebels had
recaptured Nankin, and were moving to.

of Reapers and Mowers
at Wooster.

On the 9Th inst, the exhibition began
on the farm OF Mr.. Stebbs, near the town
Of Wooster. His wheat was very heavy
and considerably lodged. The horses
were mostly unused to the machines and
the men were considerably excited; striv.
ing to cut the allotted acre in the shortest
possible time. The acres were cut in from
thirty seven to forty two minutes each, bul
the trial on the whole did not give great
satisfaction to the Farmers and Judges
present.

worked so admirably at the start that it
was thought it would turn out to be supe-
rior. The latter is a new invention, and
will probably be so altered end improved
as to be a successful competitor.
On Thursday the trial OF Reapers was
more satisfactory than before. The wheat
was even, stood well, and the ground was
rolling. All the machines cut admirably,
and the grain was laid much more evenly
than before. Seymour & Morgan's New
York Reaper took the premium. 1t re-

nearer to human reaper than anything

and well. This is the famous blue ma

farm Of Mr.. Sullivant. We sew it at work
there with two others and it was the gen.
eral opinion III hat it beat them all hollow in
every respect. The mechanism, though
simple, is wonderfully ingenious, and this
machine will certainly be extensively used
