NEW YORK MONEY MATTERS.

The market for shares was slightly depressed

the Russian and Turkish fighting, here as in
London and Paris, was likely to be regarded as
Of little moment, in it's intrinsic effect on money
matters. The reality now that it has come, il
likely to be of much less effect than the uncer.
tainty heretofore felt.

For the Iowa State G azette.
THE STATE CONVENTION. 1

MR. EDIroR:-Contrary to what is, as far as
| can learn, the unanimous opinion of the demo-
cratic press OF Iowa, the State Central Com
mittee has determined upon the 9th of January
as the time f'r holding the most important con-
vention that has ever been held in the State
Now, Sir, when we consider the number and
importance of the Offices for which candidates
are to be nominated, the shortness OF the notice.
The season at which the convention is 10 BE-
held, and the length Of time to intervene before
the more important Of the elections, we shall
see at once the appropriateness Of the time
fixed upon For one think the action Of the
Committee has been mewhat sudden and i'll
advised. If attention had been paid to the
wishes of the peopl', as expressed through their
different local organs, that time would certainly
not have been fixed upon. Death, sickness,
change Of residences thousand things among
SO many candidates and in so long tme-may
happen to interfere with the designs Of the con-
vention; and the notice is 50 short, and the sea-
son of the year SO unfavorable for travelling,
that many counties cannot possibly be repre-.
scented; l will undertake to say, sir, that nearly
half our counties will have no delegates upon
the ground. There are whispers about here of
sinister designs to be accomplished and a con-
vention to be packed to suit them. which will
not hire repeat, as it is not my wish TO distract
the party, but rather to harmonize it as much
ds poSSlUle, anu LOT one SnaIl myself ready
to act, if possible, in accordance with the de-
cision of the convention be it what it may; but
when look to the history of the past, / must
confess that see but too much reason to dread
the .esuts Of this hasty procedure. How can
we in reason ask that the proceedings should be !
binding upon districts that scarcely had posi-
bility Of being represented? For myself am |
perfectly willing to exonerate the State Com
mittee Of all improper motives in thus prema- |
turely providing for the fall election, and have
no doubt that it was done solely ihata timely /
nomination OF Superintendent OF Public instruc-
ton might be made, and the necessity for another
be obviated by provisions being made
for both elections at once. This was doubtless
the motive, but does this authorize the dis.
franchising large portion of the state
think not; and now, Sir, allow me to sugses,
that, to allay all dissatisfaction this head, the
9th OF January conyention DO merely proceed
TO nominate q candidate for Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, and that the nomination of
other candidates be left to future time.
Respectfully.
AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
