10 the Editors Of the ". y Daily News:
g few words more of the career of William
O. Rhodes, one of the Soft delegates to Cincinnati
from this district. In 1910, or ls4l, this William
G. Rhodes came from Pennsylvania TO Elmira,
Chemnng county, and became one of the editors
of the Elmira Gazette, then, as now, one of the
most rabid Freesol papers published in this State
and, during the Administration of President Polk
this paper said many hard things of Governor
Marcy and our Daniel s. Dickinson.
In l847, or 1913, this Frees editor left Ell
mira and went back to Pennsylvania. Tn july
lS4S, he again appeared in this State, in the char
acer of a delegate from PENNSYLVANIA to the Free
soil Convention held at Buffalo, and then and there
assisted in nominating Van Buren, and Adams, and
laying down the famous Buffalo platform Soon
after he appeared editor OF Free.soil sheet at
Bath, Steuben county, which position he now oc-
cupies. In 1863 he tried his hand at office-hunt.
ing at Washington but, on account Of his con-
nection with the Elmira Gazette, we IIards were
enabled to defeat him.
Last fall this same Free soil editor supported
county ticket part Frer-so and part Republican.
His paper has at all times opposed ali national
Democrats as well as all national measures and
adheres to Free-soil notions. Can it be possible.
after this, that he possesses so much bollness "a
to offer himself for, or even to take a seat in a
National Democratic Convention? supposed lie

There is one thing you may bet on, il he does
not get into the Convention, he will support the
Republican ticket and so will all his brethren,

The members of the Presbyterian General
Assemblies visited several of the city institutions
on Saturday, by invitation oIthe Ten Governors.
At halfpast nine o'clock the steamboat r. H.
Stevens, with the barge Irene in tow, left the
foot of 9th street East River, with the guests
numbering over 4 thousand. Thirteen hundred
tickets had been issued for the occasion. Many
of the members wcreaccOmpanied by their wives
and daughters.
The first point in the cxcursionwas Randall's
| Island, where the visitors were received by an
imposing military demonstration on the part of
the Nursery Bows, numbering about five hun
tlrcl. The little fellows omtive to twelve years
old were assorted in columns, according TO sizes,
and marched with an accuracy not diScreditabic
to soldiers of larger growth The regiment
vas attended by juvenile band of drummcrs
ond filters. Arriving mt the Boys Play Hall,
Governor Draper, Chairman of the Board OF
Ten Governors, made a brief statement of facts
relativc TO the Nursery, after which the youth
f.il military went through several eyo!G;ionS,
and finally, a small hoy mounted chair, and
welcomed the visitors in neat and well pro-
nonnced speech. Peyton Harrison, Esq, of Va,
replied in behalf of the Assembly. The process
sion then walked to the Girls Play Hall, where
a little girl extended the usual inequalities in
poem, to which Rev. DIR. Hickock responded.
After Sauutering about the grounds, which
are admirably kept, and exploring the noble
House Of Refuge, the company embarked for
Blac}welI's Island, and inspected the Insane
ASYLUM, the Work House and Aims House
The risiters were much gratiied with the clean
ly appearance of the Institutions and the evil
iences of thorough discipline in the manage
ment of the inmates. At haIfpast two O'Clock
tue excursion returned to the place of starting,
when an opportunity was given 10 go ashore
The guests, however, remained on board and
were taken around the Battery 10 18th st. North
river.
The excursion was in all respects delightful,
although the WARM weather was not calculated
to promote the pleasure of climbing stairs and
walking over dusty roads. Tho ladies under
went the fatigue with their usual hcroiSm. On
board the boats, the utmost sociability' prevail
ed Members of the cold" and new schools
stood for once on the same platform. of good
fellowship. The only strife we noticed "a par
donable one about the dinner hour occurred in
the rush of all hands, irrespective Of Schools"
for the cold meats, sandwiches, oranges and
crackers, bounteously provided for a lunch
Members gave way TO differences of opinion, but
would not so readily give way for chance at
the catablcs. The scramble caused greatmerri-
ment, and the hungriest were most hilarious of
ALL They evinced a determination to grow fat
by laughing, if nothing else. However, every
body was satisfied at last.
The entire expense Of this very pleasant trip
was borne by few gentlemen of this city
