ELEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL IDIS-
TRICT

The Parkersburg Gazette gives graphic and
amusing sketch of the proceedings Of the lute
Democratic Convention at that place. The Con-
vention. readers have already oeen in
formed, ''broke up in a row." Mr.. Snodgrass
of Wood was nominated by one portion of the
delegates assembled, and Mr. Lewis, of Harri-
son, by another. The particulars of the, quarrel
are hardly worth recording, however, aud we
content ourselves with copying the conclusion of
The Gazette's narrative
1--WE have above sketched the proceedings of
the grand Sanhedrim of Democracy as accurately
as our memory will enable us to do. We think
the outline OF business, at least, is preserved
Certain we are that the dongs of that body are
not Intentionally misrepreseuted. Exact and
perfect descriptions of the proceedings would be
impossible. We could not go into Details with
out resortng to personalities, and hat avoid
because the affair belongs to another family.
For the general accuracy aud fairness of ac-
count, refer to those who attended the sittings
of the Convention. Such body, so far as incl
dents in its proceedings give character to tn
| assemby-such body rarely meets in any
county. We speak, now, of the convention g
| mass; as for the individuals composing it, they
are doubtless gentlemen-fit representatives q
| the diverse democracies they came to represent
But, in its walk and conversation whole, the
convention was not exemplary, calculated tc
win The respect and admiration ofdisinterested
spectators. During its deliberations, the terms
'tyrant,' no gentleman lie .blackguard,' &c.
| were banded about, some of them hurled at the
presiding officer. From the charges and comics
sions of members, and some of the delegates ane
aspirants were accused of Fraud, Bribery, Cor
| ruption, &C., such as must neutralize whatever o
character or responsibility the Convention wal
expected to confer upon its choice for Congress
We make these remarks more in sorrow than re
proach. In fact, so far as we have had opportu
nifty of judging, the Democracy is quite sicl
as we are, of n convention from which, to use the
language OF delegate, some of its members re-
tired sin disgust-others, in disgrace'' AS fol
the Wings, generally, of course they enjoyed the
proceedings hugely and duly appreciated the
privilege, it being one of the rare chances @
| behodng Locofocoism in full bloom"

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

We are grutifed TO learn that Samuel Price,
Esq, of Greenbrier, has consented to become a
candidate for the Board of Public Works in this
district. 1t appears that on the 30th ultim some
OF our prominent citizens in conjunction with Sc
veral members of the Legislature, addressed
letter to Mr. Price, requesting him to declare
himself candidate. The letter is signed by
Messrs g N Johnson, Alex. Ryes S McRae, e
Myers, N B Hill, VIM III Macfarland, John A
Lancaster, Sam f Adie, VIM Payne, r f
Darracott, Hugh w Sheffey, Hugh w Fry,
Thomas U Dudley, C S Gay, VIM Butler,
John Bowyer F NJ Cabell, Fl w Dawson, B f
Renick. VIM Prioce, Henry 3 Maupin, S Pa
trick, and R Dunlap.
The following is Mr. Prices reply:
LEwIsBURa, APRIL 18th, 1858.
GENTLENEN:-You letter, dated Richmond,
March 30th, 1858, was duly received by yester-
days mail. In your letter, you express your
deep sense of the Importance of having in the
Board of Public Works about to be- org anised
under the new Constitution, men whose known
intelligence, integrity, energy, and zeal in the
cause of Internal improvement will give full as
surance of their fitness for the situation. You ex
press the beiefthat possess those qualifications,
aud request me to declare myself publicly a can
didate for the office of Commissio ner of the Board
10 the Central District, Or signify my consent to
be voted for in the election whish is to be held
for the purpose of filling the office.
l concur fully with you, gentlemen. in the
high estimate you have formed Of the importance
OF the office, and of the necessity of having in
the Board men of known qualifications. And for
the partal manner 10 which you have ascribed
to me the high attributes OF character necessary
to the office, return to you my most distinguish
ed Acknowledgements. The call which you
have made upon me, accept, and may be regar-
ded candidate for the office.
The friends of Internal improvement, by the
legislation of the last few years, especially of the
last legislature, have had imposed upon them
heavy responsibilities. Large appropriations of
money have been made for Internal improve
ments, and it essentially depends upon the
judicous apple alton of these funds to the purpo-
ses OF their destination, whether the just expecta-
tons of the couotry be realized, and the sanguine
hopes of the people be sustained. If they are
wasted or misapplied, the cause, aud the friends
OF improvement must suffer.
But little less interesting is this view to those
who have hitherto opposed all appropriations of
public money to the purposes of Internal I'm
provemsnt, now that the appropriations are made.
The debts contracted must be paid and if the profits
OF the works, in which the State holds SO large
an interest, can be made adequate to the payment
OF the debts, the people of every class will be
relieved OF heavy burden. This can only be
done by judicious expenditure ofthe money ap-
proprlated, aud wise superintendent ofthe
works of public character.
Accept, gentlemen, of the assurance of the
highest consideration and regard of
your obedient servant,
SAML. PRICE.

MAYORS COURT. April 10.

THREATENED AssAULT.-A white man named
Abraham Knacher, arragned before the
Mayor upon the charge of threatening last Thurs.
day to assault Mrs. Cowen, white woman living.
near the Old Market House. Mrs. Cowen said
Knacher had endeavored to obtain favorable terms
in the purchase of a lot of turkeys at the market
house, by representing himself as her brother
that on finding out this fact she rebuked him for
the dishonesty of the attempt, and that he replied
by employing many abusive epithets towards her.
and finally threatening to beat her head against
the wall. The case was continued until to- NOR.
row at the instance of the defendants COUNSEL.
butthe Mayor gave fair notice that henceforth no.
more cases of this nature would be protracted
beyond the day on which they were brought up.
for trial.
SELLING WHIsKEY TO NEGRoEs.--Watch-
man Mccormick in preambuatng about Cary
street the other ght, heard unusual noise in
a grocery or confectionery store, situated on the
South side of Cary and 9th streets, ard kept by
man named Frederick Baker. The Waterman
forthwith entered the house and found about ten
negro mon standing around the counter with decan-
ters of whiskey before them and tumbers in their
hands, enjoying their bacchanaan revels with
every mark of delight. Mr.. Baker said some
thing in extenuation of the affair, which, how.
ever the Mayor not deeming satisfactory, re-
quired him to pay fine of $40, under the orl-
nance of the city, and to 6nd security for his
good behaviour in the sum of $500.
A NAUGHTY Bor-Mr Sears, OF the Columbian
Hotel, appeared against hoy named VIM Riley.
who sci books, pamphlets, &C., about the city.
and who had been repeatedly ordered not to enter
the Colum bian the boarders there being greatly
ANNOYED by his opportunities to purchase books.
Last Friday after serera Intellectual efforts to get
him away from the house, Mr.. Sears at length
determined to try the virtue of a horse whip upon
him. After giving him few stripes, the boy
ran into the streat and commenced throwing
stones at him, upon which Mr.. Sears despatched
his negro boy for an officer. Riley then assault
ted the negro boy. striking him several severe
blows on the head. The Mayor said that he
regretted that Mr.. Sears had inflicted punish
ment with the whip, in doing which he
had taken the law into his hands. 1t would
have been legal to detain the boy in Gus
tody if necessity required it, unit officer could
be sent for to arrest him in the regular course of
law; under the present circumstances, however,
he felt bound to dismiss the warrant. But Riley
was warned against repetition of the r.
fence; aud was moreover informed that I'll ~"
had heard something about the ind t.
