JANUARY %, half past 10 o'clock.
Mr., Denny in the chair, remarked that
the house had arrived to so jnto joint CON
ventiou '"@
Mr.. Crosbie objected to the call, aud
said that he should ask to have his pro-
test put upon the journals.
Mr.. johnson said he didn't recognize
the right of the Clerk to call the roll.
Other members also objected.
SQpestion called for. The Chair put the
Question, which was decided in the ailirma-
tive. The Clerk proceeded to the call.
Mr. Cock came forward and asked per.
mission to speak-said he considered it his
right in a Joint convention. Permission
being given, Mr. c. said he intended TO
come forward, and, as one. of the members
of the Joint convention, claimed his right,
lie said no thought different drom many
members Of the convention. He thought
the convention had come together by a
joint resolution, and going beyond the lc-
gitimate business set forth in that reso.p-
tion hc thought out Of order, .and he, for
one, if called on to vote, must ask to be
excused f 1 rr.if N
Mr.. Clark said no arose to make mo,
ton to 20 into the election Of Public Prin-
ter-soid the law prescribed tho duties oi
each member of this body, and he consid.
eyed the Joint resolution which gentlemen
had discoursed so eloquently about, as ol
no binding clfect-that 1t was merely to
agree upon time to convene togthcr.
That the law declared what duty the con-
vention must perform, and he stood ready
as one to perform that duty fearlessly.
Motion carried in the affirmative. g.
Mr. Ward said he hoped members
would come forward. They had met in
Joint convention. The convention had ad-
Iiourncd-the hour had now arrived to
which they had adjourned. lie hoped the
members Of the convention could come for
ward-he could see no apology for dods-
ing the question.
Mr.. Walker made motion TO adjourn
to Tuesday next at , o'clock, =. NJ. Mo-
ton put, and decided in the negative.
Mr.. Cock said he had doubts as to the
propriety Of going into the election Of Pub
lie Printer, but if the convention concluded
and decided it proper to do so, he should
not absent himself.
Mr.. Robinson called for the reading Of
the resolution which authorized the con
vention. He would like to have gentle
men consider tho object expressed in the
joint resolution; he asked for the reading
of the resolution. ...l
The Chair informed him that the Clerk
had been instructed TO procure the resoln'

Vertisement in that paper, announcing her day
of departure for New Orleans; several shippers
in the country, guided by the advertisement,
made their arrangements, came into the city,
and went on board the boat with their stock
and shipments, without any further Inquiry
while other boats that had thought it not
worth while to spend a dollar for advertising
and were lying at the wharf at the time, lost
all share in the freight, and went off compare
ratively empty; the captain of the lucky boat
acknowledged his dollar given to the paper had
been returned to him, with a gain Of several

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTIONS:

SUBMARINE ExPLORATIoNs.-The Subma-
rine .Wrecking Company Of Boston, are doing
business on large scale and with fattering
prospects of success. They have made con-
tracts with governments in the British Pro-
vInces, South America and Europe for the
right to treasures in the known valuable
wrecks, that have lain for ages beneath the
sea-
One of the wrecks contracted for is the
lne-of-battle slip .'Sln Pedro de AIcantara," !"
sunk in the Bay of Cumana in 1915, with
nelrly S3O00000 of treasure, specie and
church plate on board, and 100000 to $780,
900 of bronze cannon. This ship was blown
up, and now lies in about 60 feet of water,
where she can. easily be worked. OF all her
treasures, only about 100000 in silver coin
which was thrown from the vessel by the ex-
ploslon of her magazine has been recovered
Not an article of the great quantity of rich
church plate, or a doubloon of the million and
a half in gold, or one of the many bronze can
nCn, shown by official documents to have been
on board, have hitherto been recovered, and
consequently there are at least 100000 of
treasure remaining in and about the wreck at
the present date. An agent of the company
has visited the spot and descended to the
wreck, and brought up several Jumps of del
lars cemented together by the action of the
sea water, which the company consider an
earnest of certain success. During the last
century, a fleet of Spanish galeons, laden with
the produce Of the Mexican mines, was wreck
ed on the coast of Florida and the treasures of
many millions lost. For long period subse-
quent, all invaders of that portion of the Cape
of Florida were saluted by the natives with
silver slugs made of hammered and broken
silver dollars, supposed to have been portion
of the wrecked treasures from these gaeons,
which had been washed upon the beach by the
action Of the sea. The new submarine appar
atus gives such facilities for submarine exp!or-
ations and lahors that these sunken treasures
will soon be brought to the surface. Those
who gather the first harvest will realize a
rich reward.

GRIM. CoN-A case of this sort which re-
Gently occurred in Lafayette, in this State has
got into the newspapers. 1t appears that the
wife of very influential and honorable busi-
ness man, was seduced by one Of equal stand
iIlg and apparent worth. 1t commenced by
attentions in themselves harmless but, when
critically examined incompatible with the
lady's relation to her husband; and like any
evil it grew SO insidously that for years, as
the drama disclosed, most frequent criminality
was kept up. The husband confiding in his
wife's fidelity when he heard Of the first sus-
picion, promptly yet confidingly required the
gentleman to desist from lrequenting his house,
which was obeyed apparently, but the evil
was made known, by accidentally surprising
the paramour, who had just escaped from the
husbands bed, and who in the effort to escape,
and still unknown to the husband grappled
him and was so severely beaten, that he was
forced to cry for help; after which he was so
much more chastised as to render life rather
doubtful, and in that condition was carried to
his own wife and there refused by her. on
hearing where, by whom, and for what he was
damaged. Thus have the sweet hopes and
love, and affection of two homes, been blighted
and ruined.-Vincen Gazette.

o. n. P. Willis has published a novel en-
titled Paul Fame, in which he has given great
er prominence to the little incidents of the ar
fists life than to great and thrilling events
1t is evident that the novel was written with
the purpose of teaching that false position in
society is the great evil Of social life, and
while there is a Willis complexion in all the
personages introduced, there are some beauti-
iul and finely drawn characters described.
