The Louisville Convention.

There will be a large attendance from this
region to the great American Convention to
be held at Louisville next Tuesday. Several
regularly appointed Delegates will go up from
this city, besides other citizens. From Hen
derson county, on the other side of the river
there will be crowd going. They will be re-
ceived with open hearts as well as open houses
big crowds, as their prices will be placed at a
low figure, and they will land their passengers
at Louisville in good time.

A Bar Dog Secretary.

The State Sentinel, the leading Democratic
paper in Indiana and therefore authority"
on the subject of Democratic candidates, in its
issue of Thursday, makes the following des-
perately important announcement:
We learn that John B. Hall, Esq, editor of
the Evansville Enquirer, is candidate for Sec
rotary of State.
If that isn't the best political joke of the
season, or else the meanest satire on our neigh
Dor, yet brought to light, we should like to see
an attempt made to excel it. Hall Secretary
of State! Ha, ha, hal! Well, who knows but
what he would make first rate Secretary.
We are inclined to think so on the principle
upon which Wolverine thought his dog was
first rate "bear dog" and was trying to sell
him as SUCH
"Why, neighbor," said man to whom he
offered the cur 'dog cheap at five dollars
"you don't call that bar dog, do you? Why
he is the scurviest, mangiest most good for
nothing looking cuss ever saw. He wouldn't
fight COON"
"See here now, stranger, stop that. I've had
that dog five year, AN Eve tried him at everything
on Gods airth except bar hunting if you be-
lieve my word, he never was worth d-n for
anything ever tried him at, therefore he must
be good bar dog"
AS Hall has never proved fit for anything he
has ever been tried at we think it probable he
may make very proper Secretary of State. II
was evidently intended he should be good for
something, in common with all mankind, and
as he has shown himself a perfect good for
nothing so far, we think chance ought tc
afforded him to try his hand at Secretary, Gov
ernor, or something of that sort

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION The
Kansas Freeman, published at Topeka, of the
9Th, says On Saturday Mr.. futon, of Bloom
ington, offered a resolution fixing the 10th inst,
as the day of the adjournment of the Conven-
ton. Most ofthe committees have made reports.
and many Of them have been acted upon; and
as we have already intimated, there has been
vast amount of work accomplished in the
short time the body has been in session. The
same degree ofindustry will bring the labors of
the Convention to close as soon at least as
is provided in Mr.. Tuton's resolution; and the
anomaly will be presented to the civilized
world, that Constitution which will favorably
compare with any extant, has been framed in
less than three weeks for the young State of
Kansas.

Judge Perkins Decision.

We trust our readers have had abundant
time to read and reflect upon the "opinion" OF
Judge Perkins on the Prohibitory Liquor Law,
as published in the Journal. There is prob
ably no better eulogy upon this Law, than that
ashrewd and Jealous opponent of the Law, al
ter weeks of investigation and preparation
could make no better argument against 1t than
Judge Perkins has offered He need not tell
US that just such pettifogging reasoning as ne
produces has convinced himself. he need
not tell u.s. that he, a Judge in our Supreme
Court, would permit such miserable twaddle
in the mouth of lawyer, to pass as argument,
or have particle of influence in assisting rim
to the formation of a legal opinion. Nonsense.
There will be an hundred briefs before Judge
Perkins and the balance of the Court this
month, each one Of which will contain better
argument, sounder law and clearer deductions,
than this long winded but empty piece Of legal
vaporing called "the opinion of Judge
Perkins. Truly, if he has said all that may
be said against our Liquor Law, it is a law
which will bear the test OF time and trial.
AS we shall next week probably have the
decision Of the Supreme Court before us, we
d .em it idle to discuss Judge Perkins outsids
opinion. He has been in terrible hurry pub
fishing his opinion to the world, and in his
haste he has shown about as little courtesy to
his brethren on the Bench, as he hasin his de-
Eision respect to the intelligence Of his fellow
citizens. The fact is, he has been making a
bold bid for the whisky vote-and that is just
about the aim, object and whole extent of Per
kins decision on the constitutionality Of the
Prohibtory Liquor Law. Had we read this
decision when it first reached our hands, il
certainly should never have numbered up the
columns of the Journal. All we can now do
is to apologize to our readers for publishing
the Judges opinions while folly and fiction O
more entertaining kinds are thickly strewn al
our elbow.

WISCONSIN Eleotion.

The returns received the last few days have
been electing one day the Democratic and the
next day the American candidate for Govern
or, and keeping things generally mixed up.
But the last reports, and apparently the final
reports of all counties but Douglass and La
pointe, elect Bashford, the American candidate.
This report is dated Galena, the 2lst. The
Amerisanc at Galena and other prominent
points bordering on Wisconsin, have set up a
loud shout of triumph. They have good ref :
son to do so, as the anti-Amcr:cans have al
ready had their reoicings thinking that their
candidate was undoubtedly elected What
kind Of Sclear GAIN does the Sentinel take

The N. o. Crescent Celebrates as follows on
the great propelling power of American politics
that mighty force, which lift does nothing
else, is of immense importance as an agent to
keep society from stagnation:
The niger is great, in fact, a stupendous
institution. He answers a three-fold purpose,
and that is more than many white men are
capable of. In the first place, he sows, hoes
and gathers in product which clothes world,
which has made Massachusetts rich and saucy
better than her neighbor, which enables
England to carry on war against Russia;
which supplies France with the sinews of con-
hict, and which helps Christian nations to cut
each others threats by furnishing the raw
material indispensable for the prosecution of
multifarous branches ofindustry.
In the second place, the ''nigger'' assists the
Abolitionists and Anti-Americans of the North
wonderfully. Without SaInbo, they would
soon anguish and and die. His odor alone
supplies them with vitality.
In the third place, the niger is Just as
useful in the South as the North In the
North he manufactures bogus Democrats, Abo-
] onists and Anti-Americans. In the South
he manufactures Anti-Americans, Secession
lists and bogus Democrats. He is equally val
liable in both sections of the Union, in the
furtherance of objects diammetrically opposed
to each other. Wonderful product is Sambo

Report of tho Commission.

a committee of eight gentlemen were ap-
pointed after the horrible accident at Gascon<
ade Bridge, on the Pacific Railroad, to investi-
gate the cause of the accident. They have
made their Report to the President and Direc-
tors of this Railroad, or rather a majority and
minority report, after full personal examina-
ton of the bridge ard Of witnesses. The ma
iority report is signed by seven of the eight
persons who formed the Committee, and is
published in the st. Louis papers of Thursday
followed by the Report of Mr.. Henry Kayser,
the eighth member Of the Committee. The
reports are too long for our present crowded
columns The conclusion of the first Report
is, that the bridge was strong enough to sup
port the train, but that 'the immediate cause
Of the disaster was the high rate Of speed at
which the train was running at the time of the
accident"
The minority report appears to be sensible
document and proves its position as it goes
along. II comes to the following conclu-
sions:
The cause of said disaster was the breakage
of the wooden structure in, and the super
structure over, the bay between the eastern
abutment and next pier west, consequence
of their entire insa6iciency in foundation, ma
terial, and construction, to bear the pressure
of the locomotive and car running over the
same. ~
Then further: The attempt of running a
locomotive and cars carrying human life over
river like the Gasconade, upwards of thirty
five feet above its bed, upon such frail struc-
lures, can only be ascribed to incompetency
recklessness, or nfatuation
And, lastly: The fact of the said attempt
having been made and particularly at a speed
of about fifteen miles per hour, can only be
ascribed to management Of the affairs of the
company-deficien in system, supervision ant
responsibility.

Taking the Responsibility.

We think our neighbor, the bar dog Seere-
tary of State, had better hurry horae. His
pro tenn, after poking fun at us for doubling
the infallibility or golliness of the London
Times, has been pitching into England right
and left in such a manner, that we have seri-
Gus fears he will hurry our country into pre-
mature war; He has told President Pierce
plainly what he ought to do, and as the Presi-
dent is too apt to act by the advice of those he
thinks knows what's what, we are afraid he
will at once proceed to take Bull by the horns.
Yesterday our friend laid the way for the an
nexation of Central America, and if the Sec
rotary don't hurry home, he will have that
mixed up region annexed right off, leaving
the question of slavery with the South, as he
says the South will answer that question as
best suits themselyes-the North, of course,
having nothing to do with it We are afraid
Whit's genius is expansive.

The NEW ORLEANS ELEcTIoN.-Itis known
to our readers that the ballot-boxes in the 9TH
election precinct in NewOreans were destroyed
by mob before all the votes had been count
ed. The commissioners of the election in that
precinct therefore made no return. The mat
ter was brought before Judge Cottor by writ
of mandamus, on application of John NJ. Bell
one ofthe candidates for sheriff. The decision
of the court was: -
That the mandamus requiring the commits
sioners of election of the seventh precinct to
return the vote Of that precinct for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, sheriff, and removal or
not removal, as the said votes had been ascer-
tanned before the breaking of the ballot box,
and requiring the sheriff to make his triplicate
returns of the same vote, as required by law,
was made peremptory. Thus decision makes
a considerable addition to the votes of Wick
life and Mouton, and places Mr.. Bell 242 votes
ahead of Mr.. Hufty for sheriff on the face of
the poll

Oar Relations 10Th Engltna-71he real cause Of
the increase of the British Vest India Fleet. ~
WASHINGTON, Nov. 49,.
The trouble with Englandis not settled 1t
is thought that the administration is little
in donbt about its own position. 1t is given
out that the Pacific brought assurances that
the increase of the British West India fleet
had nothing to do with the Central American
question. This was merely to satisfy the pub
he. The real cause of the increase OF the
English feet on the American coast is to be
found in the peculiar instructions OF Attorney
General Cushing to the District Attorney OF
Philadelphia IF any Que will take the trouble
to look at dates and facts, they Will ascertain
that within twenty four hours after the receipt
of the news in London of the trial of Hertz IN
Philadelphia, the addition to the West India
feet were under sailing orders. And | have
information that when Cushing's two curious
letters of instruction reached England, de-
mand for redress was made by the British
government and that denaaud IS noV before the
Cabinet at Washington. This is fact, and an
important fact, too? Will England or the
United States recede? That is the question:
soon indeed, to be the engrossing question -
