Ihe outrageous and Jet most udierous proceedings at
the late Carthage Convention designed expressly TO
neu Old WOUNDS with the caaplasms OF trickery and
buncombe, you are aware failed most sgnally: and
instead Of accomplishing the important and much-de-
sired object in view resulted in separating the dissent
ers much more widely than before. The Germans
especially, on account OF the shameful treatment of
ReemelD, burn with Indignation, and declare they will
never again act in concert politically or otherwise,
with the adherents Of that deesable clique, the Nj
ami tribe who desired to inhict the bodily
injury upon their fellow-countrymaR, merely because
be had the bOdness TO speak the truth. Reemein is
a man of great influence and popularity among his
cCuDtrymen; and more foolish and pernicous step
could not have been taken by the members Of the
Convention than that which drove him. in fear of his
life from the ground 1t is calculated that that dis
graceful affair lost to the democracy in Hamilton
County at least three thousand votes.
Since the Convention the members of the two fac
tiOns lave appeared 10 be more exaspersed against
each other than and last Saturday night several
alterations in public bar. rooms took place, between
the principal men Of either side The "Chief of the
Miamis and the "Old Horse of the Sawbucks," as
two OF the leading politicians have been denominated,

most skhl pupils OF Tom Spring. The battle, how
ever, was not of long duration In a few minutes the
Chief lay supne and bumper Of brandy and plentiful
supply of cold water was necessary to restore him to
his original condition. The "Old Horse, il is said,
was much eated with his victory that he has since
been attempting to nd another oeiaan worthy of his
steel"
The general opinion is that anything like

The Democratic organ here manifests the most un-
mistababe signs of dissatisfaction and irrltablity
since that unfortunate Convention; and like wound
ed and blinded snake, it strikes at random with
the fercest malignity at whatever it suppOses it
can iDjure. Happily its power is not measured by
its wrath: and hence its desperate efforts to annihate
somebody something only render its impotency glar-
ing and its conduct ludcrOus. Its thunderbos lack

The excitement and panic concerning the Indiana
State Stock Banks are gradually subsldng here; al
though the community manifest much dissatisfaction
with them par funds These notes are taken by our
business men at present, because they can deposit
them with their banks; but few would be willing to
keep them on hand for any length of time. The free
bank bills of our sister State have been pouring in upon

the country and have been going home in nearly equal
proportion: the amount is DOW somewhat diminished
and our regular currency growing more plenty

Judge Ellis of indianapolis arrived in the city this
morning, empowered to act as the agent OF lhe In

upon the subject. The proceedings oi It's conference
have not yet transplred.
Ii is generally believed here that the State stock
concerns will never be par funds in this city again;
and il will certainly be 10 the advantage OF the CON-
mupity If they are not So We have banks of our
OWE and want no foreign country notes placed upon

preferable.

The last dollar Of the debt of the Mechanics lnsu

long time like an incubus retarding its progress and
usefulness was entirely discharged yesterday BY dona
tons from our citizens. The Institute is the finest OF
the kind in the Union We have cause TO be proud OF
it. and cause to be pror too, that the berahy OF our
citizens have released il from ali encumbrances:
