We learn that the colored barber, at Dun
kirk, James A. Hall, who robbed Califor
nian of $l 400 while shaving him, in March
last, was tried at Mayville, Chauauque
county, on Saturday, found guilty and SEN
fenced to the state prison for fifteen years.
It seems that he is an old offender, having
served term of three years in the Ohio
penitentiary, and two years in prison in
Baton Rouge, La. He is the same fellow
who was arrested last year in this city on
charge of stealing Sic, 1000 from schooner
in our harbor, discharged for the want OF
sufficient testimony, and afterwards sent to
the workhouse for stealing chickens. After
leaving here he proceeded to Dunkirk, and
has at length become pretty we'll fixed

18Th of July Reople's State Convention.

To the Friends of Freedom IL, Ohio
Alta meeting OF :he republican state cen
trail committee appointed by the anti-Ne
brasks convention which assembled in Co
lumbus on the 18th of July, 1854, it was
resolved, in compliance with the public
voice, that a republican state convention, tC
be composed Of delegates chosen by the in
dependent anti-Ntbruska voters Of Ohio
who participated in the glorious triumph OF
last year, and such others as may sympa.
thze with them, be called, to meet in the
city Of Columbus, on Friday the 18th OF
July, 1855, for the purpose of nomiua ting
candidates for the following offices, towit {:
Governor, lieutenant governor, auditor OF
state, treasurer Of state. secretary of state,
attorney general. member of the board OF
public works, and two judges of the supreme
court.
In compliance with the usual rule of rep.
resentation adopted in state conventions. it
was resolved that the ratio of representation
in the convention to assemble on the 18Th
Of July next, should be one delegate for
every FIVE hundred votes cast in each county
at the last election for Judge of the supreme
court, and also one additional delegate for
every fractional vote SO cast exceeding two
hundred and fifty as follows:
The list of votes by counties is ommit ted.
Wood county is entitled to 2 delegates,
having polled S67 republican votes
It is recommended by the committee, that
the republican friends Of freedom in each
county meet at the usual place of holding
county conventions, on Saturday the 7th of
July, for the purpose Of choosing delegates,
according to the above appor;ionment, to
represent them in the state convention to be
held on the 18TH
When it is considered that, in addition to
the officers for the executive departments of
the state government, there is to be chosen
q general assembly, on which will devolve
the duty of selecting United States sena-
tor to fill the place Of Hon. B. F. Wade,
whose term expires in '57, and before which
will come many measures of reform in the
domestic policy of our state, the importance
of the approa ching election will be compre-
hended by our rejecting fellow citizens.
IF the outrage upon the rights of the free
states by the repeal of the Missouri restric-
ton, made it duty last year to bury all
minor differences in united effort to arrest
the progress Of the slave power. how much
stronger has that duty become by the more
recent exhibition of fraud and violence at
rights of citizenship and the possession Of
property to free citizens of Missouri and
Kanzas? The day of " compromises has
gone by. We therefore appeal to our fellow
citizens to be active and vigilant. Send a
delegation to the 18th of July convention
like that which assembled last year, impress
ed with the magnitude of their mission, rep
resenting the dignity of the state and the
will of their constituents, and assuredly
success will again crown our united efforts.

1.-THE annexed letter from " Karl" arrived an
hour too late for insertion in last weeks issue.
1t will still amply repay Perusal.-ED.l
MEssRs. EpIroRs There have been no
measures of vast interest to the State discussed
by our wise lawmakers since my last.
On the 10Th inst, Mr. Speaker Stow, without
malice aforethought, undertook to buncombi-e on
The Sunday Bill" but seems to have put his
foot in it. which, owing to the size Of that same,
perhaps, made considerable OF q g muss'' among
the minnows. He took occasion TO pitch into
the sons of Father Abraham, and they, falling
back upon the reserved rights of good citizens
in free country, are pitching into him with a
vim He not only hurt himself with this class
of community, but the worse than Know. Moth
ing view he took of the matter may work to his
disadvantage in other quarters. Some OF his
friends lament that he has shown the ass's ears
SO soon after assuming the lions skin.
To-day has been warm time in both branch
es of the Legislature. In the Assembly, dis
cussion arose IN Committee of the Whole on a
claim of $40 600 presented by Sacramento for
services rendered the immigrants in '49, 80
and 81. Messrs. Stow, Edwards, and Smith of
Marin, being in favor of the State indemnfying
the City, and Messrs. Watkins. Knox and others
opposing the measure. After spending the
sweetness Of their eloquence on the "desert
air." the Bill was very quietly and properly in
definitely postponed. Had the Bill passed the
taxpayers might have commenced diving into
their pockets for the odd quarters, as a million
of dollars would have gone the same road. San
Francisco would have raked up evidence of SER
vice rendered to the immigrants who cane to
the country before we had State government,
to the amount of four or five hundred thousand
Ell Dorado would have asked-God knows how
much, on the saire ground Shasta, Marysville
and Los Angeles would also have preferred
bills, and we know not where it would have
ended.
The two reports of the Committee which had
the Chinese Bill under consideration. will be
printed in few days, when the public will have
a chance to judge Of their deliberations. The
Supervisor Law, Census Law, and School Law
are to be printed in pamphlet form and will be
ready for distribution in few days.

Gen. Concha has deemed it requisite to declare
Cnba in state of siege and blockade by the
fleet of the Queen of Spain, and that no vessel
VIII be allowed 10 enter any Of the ports of the
island without first having her papers vigorously
searched, and should any vessels be found laden
with people, though their papers be all correct,
they will simply be requested to return while
if they are found laden with arms and ammuni-
ton, they will be deemed enemies, and treated
pirates.
The following is special dispatch to the New

February, and contains the latest relative to the
Cuban movement:
Some of the new Cnban bonds, issued bv the
Cuban Junta. have been received here from

from the old ones put forth by Lopez, and a COPY
of which was published in The Iutelligencer. but
are signed by Gen. John A. Qutman, Comman-

nominations from $50 up Gen. Quitman arri-
we'd IN New Orleans on Friday the 10th, for the
purpose ottaking command of the invading army,
