The X. N Convention ana Its Nominees.
The Know Nothing Convention adjourned OIL
"Wednesday evening last, after session Of two
dayy. Delegates were present from thirteen
countler. There are forty-fve counties in the
State. and in the thirty.two counties that were
not represented, the party may be considered
as defnnct. though it is probable the nominees
Of the Convention will get scattering votes ia
some of the uhrepresented counties. The fol
lswing ticket was nominated:
For Governor--G. W. Bowie,
For Lieutenant Governor--J. A. Raymond,
For Justice Supreme Court. II. Ralston.
For C0ntroller-G. W. Whitman, ..
For Attorney General-T. d. Mcfarland,
For Treasurer. r. Crandall,
For State Printer-B. II. Monson.
A determined effort was made by some OF the
delegates to adjourn without making any nomi-
nations aud resolution to that effect was in
troduced; but after an animated discussion it
was voted down. The utter hopelessness of
electng the nominees seemed to be admitted 10y
all. and the object of nominating ticket Is to
keep up the party organization.
or the nominees, it is unnecessary to say
much. Major Bowie is said to be a very clever,
affable sort of man, of moderate ability, but
without any positive traits of character which
would be likely to add strength to the ticket.
He is an old line Whig and bis supporters claim
that he never connected himself with the Know
Nothing party. Dr. Raymond, the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor, is man Of talent and
amply qualified for the position. His qualiRca-
tions, however, are not likely TO be brought into
requistiOn. James II. Ralston, the nominee for
Justice Of the Supreme Court, is politician by
trade. Twenty years ago he was q leading
county politician in ILLINOIS, and he appears to
have held his own remarkably well since that
time. His political fortunes we're in the zenith
when he run for Congress on the Democratic
tioket, and was beaten, in the northern district
Of Illinois. This was in lS4l Since then his
talents have never been properly appreciated
BY the Democracy. He has resided in Sacrs-
mento some seven or eight years, and made set
tlerism his hobby. AS a lawyer be never rank
ed above mcdiocrity Mr. Mcfarland, the nom
inee for Attorney General, will get the fall
Know Nothing vote Of this County, which will
not be very formidable. ,H
The Know Nothing vote is not likely to have
any effect upon the general result, as the Dem
ocratic majority would be about the same
whether they dlshanded or not. Had they re-
fused to make nominations, 1t ia probable about
half Of the vote which their nominees will re-
ceive, would have gone to the Democracy and
she other half to the Republicans. The Know
Nothing vote will be much less this year than
IL was last, and in most of the counties we ex-
peet to see 1t returned among the scattering"

TUE STATE DEBr.--We have not deemed it
necessary, recently, to say any thing in regard

few aud far between" The vote In favor of

SOMETHING NEw-An invention rival

err" if not his "Feline Attachment" has
just been put on exhibition at window in
Broadway, New York, which attr"cts a
curious crowd. 1t consists of rolling
cylinder set in the side of a box which
the box )is surmounted by wire open
work cupola. The cylinder is covered
with treacle, and crowds of vagrant flies
light down upon &c. There they become
SO completely absorbed In the enhancing
sweets they are feeding upon that they
fail to observe the gentle, treacherous, re-
volving motion of the cylinder, until tor
late, they are carried inside of the fata
box, are scraped of by some unseen dia
bolical mechanism, rise up into the wir,
dome, and buzz beautifully. 1t is scarcel,
necessary to remark that, once imprisoned
the flies may be kept until they give bondl
for their future good behavior, or are 9th
erwise disposed of as prudence or domes
tic economy may dictate.
