CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEBRAsKA.-It is with
great pleasure that our former towpsman Mr..
Fenner Ferguson now of Albion in this state
has been appointed by the President to the
Chief Justiceship of Nebraska. Mr. Ferguson
is man amply capacitated for that responsible
post, and will reflect credit on the bench of
that new territory. 1t is said of him by his
friends who know him best, that he is preem-
nently fitted for this station, and now that he
has an opportunity, will display high order Of

so worthy. Notwithstanding the diminutive
opinion of the Jackson Pa.riot, we feel that
the appointment will be approved by the people
generally. AT all events let him be tried be-
fore he is condemned. Barry Co. Pioneer

THE JACKSON CONTENTION

We publish to-day the resolutions, aud an
account of the proceedings of the Jackson Con-
vention. Previous to its meeting we called up
on wings to attend it. We looked to their IN
fluence as the only means to promote the inter-
ests OF the people. The indications were, that
a sufficient number Of wings would be present
to exert conservative and beneficial influence
All these signs were false. The Convention
was controlled by free.soilers, and those wings
who desire to break up the wing party. Every
thing the free democrats desired they obtained.
They went into the meeting with the ticket in
the field; they procured the adoption Of just
such planks in the platform as they desired
they knew the nomination of Kingsley s. Bing-
ham was foregone conclusion, and then their
committee withdrew their nominees. What a
mockery The new ticket contains the names
of four of the free-Soil candidates. In fact, the
free democrats had their own way. They even
went so far as to christen the party by the name
OF Republican," as permanent organization,
with the intent of course, of breaking up the
wing party. Under these circumstances, are
wings going to endorse the proceedings of the
convention, and support its nominations! Some
may, but we do not believe the great body Of
them will. AT any rate, aoe shall oppose I'M
compromisingly with whatever ability we pos
sess, the ticket that has thus been nominated ;
and we call upon all good and true wings to do
the same. Do this for the maintenance OF the
very principle upon which this Republican par
ty mainly rests, and for the preservation OF the
principles Of your party, and that conservative
influence which it has exerted so benefically IN
the country and do it to prevent the disband-
ing of your party by those who are seeking lis
destruction. Det Advertiser (whig), 9Th inst

The CRoPs.-Our farmers are now in the
midst of their wheat harvest, and it is undoubt.
eddy the best crop ever harvested in this county.
The weather thus far has been remarkably
favorable to all kinds of crops. Refreshing
showers have been frequent so that oats, grass,
and corn have all done very well, and yet the
wheat has no sign ofrust upon it. The wealth
er seems to favor the farmers also in their har-
vesting. Last week was oppressively hot, but
this week the temperature has moderated to a
comfortable point, which will aid them in hous-
ing their crops. The only complaint we hear
from farmers is the want of help. Some are
fearful of losing portion of their crops from
the want Of help to harvest them.

AN ANCIENT MAINE LAw.-Among the an

there was a tribe or nation called the Suevians,
who would not suffer wine to be brought into
their territory, because, said they, it enervates
the mind and units the body for exersse or la
Dor. Yet these men were cassed among bar

Reports are constantly reaching us to the eff
feet that increasing ravages are being made by
the terrible destroyer in many of the large cit
les. 1t has been circulated that the deaths in
Chicago have numbered as high as from 100 to
$50 per day. The accounts are doubtless ex-
aggerated, and greatly so even, if we may put
confidence in the city papers The total num-
Der finterments reported to the board of health
of Chicago for the first week in July was, 333,
being an average of Al per day, but the intelli-
gence received from private sources is such
that not many are to be found within our knowl-
edge, who will believe this presents the whole
truth in regard to the mortality in that city.

say that each and every one of the hvors re-

certainly as were designed as matters of taste
were got up with an exceedingly good taste,
and mere anticipation that repetitions of the
like might have occurred in the future, keenly
sharpens the regret with which we contemplate
the discontinuance of our paper.
