nEMoCRAT1c CONVENTION

A Convention of the Democracy assem-
bled yesterday at IL o'clock, at the Court
House, to appoint delegates to the State
Convention. Henry Meredith was APP
pointed President, pro tenn, and e. P.
Turney. of Cherokee, Secretary. Sub
ssquently, by motion, the same gentle.
men were made permanent officers of
the Convention.
A committee on credentials was APP
pointed consisting of one from each
township, when the Convention adjourn
ed,tq 5PM.
Upon assembling at the appointed
hour, Phil. Moore reported from the
committee on credentials, in favor of
the set of delegates from Bridgeport
township elected first, that Rough &
Ready had one delegate too many &C
cording to apportionment, but that she
contended for an extra member for
Jones Crossing, claiming that place
within the limits of the township. Some
irregular;ty was shown in the election of
the delegate from Little York.
Mr.. Moore moved the report be adopt
ed except that part relating to irregu-
larities. Mr.. Conn Riley moved Mr..
Lansing be substituted for himself as
proxy for NJ. Coberth-carried. Mr.
Moore's motion was then put and car
tied.
Mr. Moore moved the additional del
egate from Rough & Ready be admitted
to a seat-carried.
Mr.. Hoyt, of Bridgeport, moved the
communication of committee on creden-
tials, concerning the delegates from his
township, be adopted. This opened a
sparring exhibition. DR.. Randall, one
of the No. delegates, addressed the
Convention. He contended that he re-
presented majority of the people of
the township, that every effort was
made to induce the first primary meet
ing at San Juan TO postpone until eve
ming. in order to allow the miners
chance to come from their work and
vote, but in vain.
By vote, the second set were reject
ed and left the Convention. An effort
was then made to secure to townships
the right to elect their own delegates to
the State Convention. Considerable
sparring ensued. Mr.. Lansing contend
ed it was custom of the Democracy,
sane toned by immemorial usage, that
it lay at the founda ton of State rights
and the Kansas-N ebraska bill. Mr..
Moore replied.
Mr.. Hanna, of Cherokee, made
stirring appeal in favor of each township
being allowed the privilege of selecting
one delegate to represent it in the State
convention. His efforts were fruitless.
Mr.. Noise took the same side.
The Weller men being in the MAORI
ty carried every point, and a committee
was appointed by the chair to select suit
able delegates TO send to the State Con-
vention.
The following is the liss of delegates
selected and approved by the conven-
ton.
A T. Laird, Phil Moore, S. H. Chase,
Henry Meredith, Patrick Cox. E. d.
Roberts, J. Woodwork, John Larime.
l. n. Van Hagan, S. NJ Gillian, j. p.
Burke, A. L. Aston, p. McGloin. H.
w. Chin, J. Leary, G t. Cutler, E. p
Turney, S. S. Lewis, H. Everett.
All of the above are for Thorn. Find
ley for State Treasurer, but three who
favor Sweetland.
A great deal of spirit was manifested
by the convention and some acrimony.
In fact the affair was not of the most
harmonious nature.

LIABILITIES OF TELEGRAPH CoMPA-
NnEs-Lately a case was decided in
Cleveland, against the Lake Erie and
Michigan Telegraph Company, of some
interest to the mercantile community.
En- 1858, it seems, Messrs. Randall,
Cook & Co., being largely engaged in
the wool business, telegraphed to their
agent at Meadville, Pa, to buy certain
lots of wool at the market price of forty
cents pound The telegraph compa-
ny, in delivering the dispatch, by mis-
take fixed the sum at As cents. and the
agent purchased large lot at that price.
The Judge charged that, as telegraph
companies received pay for delivering
messages correctly, they were liable for
the evil results of Their errors. A ver-
dict was given the firm above named of
S1,6S1 damages.

cordine to the official figures, there are
eight thousand six hundred voters in the
city of Washington, the national capital.
This represents population of some
ninety thousand souls, a fact which
shows that the place increases much

supposed. When the census of 1860
shall be taken, the aggregate will, no
doubt, exceed one hundred thousand.

. .H 4.
A Paris letter says that within the
last few months several congresses
have been held in Paris. A congress
of proprietors for the reduction of all
rcnts under 500 franks; congress of
epicuresto to deliberate on astronomical
questions; and, lastly, congress of
ladies for the purpose of taking into
consideration the means to be adopted
for bringing to termination the G,fno-
line mania. The meetings were held
In the salons of one of the brilliant ho-
tells Of the Faubourg ST. German. A
fair Countess was the PreStdente, and
a Princess the Secretary. Various
resolutions were offered and means pro-
posed. The only one which met with
the appreciation of the assembly was
that of exaggerating the fashion to
such an extent as to render it too ridi-
culous to last. Consequently, our
charming deljberatresses resolved to
appear in the streets and in the salons
with under skirts Of 15 feet in circum-
ference, requiring 35 yards of material
for the skirt Of dress. Those who
will not or cannot follow the mode in
its exaggerated phase must of necessi-
ty be obliged to return to the narrow
skirts Of the 1st empire. The volumi
nous petticoats date several centuries
back.

its acts may be virtuous or Vicious
Hence we may. act under the impulse
of true and amiable benevolence, in it.
self considered, and yet such acts, un-
Intentionally on our part, may in the
future be the occasion of much misery.
Hence the acts of benevolence must be
considered in all their bearings, and in
their relations to futurity; they must
be regulated by some governing prin-
ciple; and this principle is the "Iaw Of
rectitude," which is inseparably con-
nected with disinterested philanthropy.
So that when benevolent actions are
thus combined with perfect justice,
their tendency is to produce the highest
degree of happiness, both at present
and in future. The soul-eleyating
principle, as We have already intima-
ted, was interviewer originally with our
very nature, by the plastic hand of
Deity; tits innate in every human be-
ing, although its action is impeded in
many by the predominance of that per-
vertedprinciple of self-love, selfshness
which confines it within the narrow
limits of a circle, the centre of which
is SELF. How lamentable would have
been the condition of man if this base,
selfish principle had usurped a prepon-
derating influence in the empire of the
soulG Every man, contrary to the
scripture injunction, wouldlo look "on his
own things" and not con the things of
others" In vain would the lonely and
detected traveller, far from his native
land, look for kindness from those a
mong whom he wandered. In vain
would We look for those benevolent in
stitutions which rear their lofty heads,
in almost every land, in attestation of
the reality of that God-like principle
which pervadcs every human heart. OF
If the exercise, therefore, of beneyo-
lence administer so greatly to our hap
piness, and if it be natural to man, we
are undern,oral obligation to cultivate
it to the highest perfection; and the
truth of this remark addresses itself to
the conscience Of every individual, with
the greater force, when he calls to re-
membrance what a wide field is open
for benevolent toperations----a field com.
mensurate with the word itself.

two retainers, and, as the saying is
"swarms." The bees have the great
est respect for their queen, and attend
her in much state. When q stray
queen from another hive comes in, they
set their own queen on her and make
them fight intending to obey the con-
queror. 2seL @
The queen bee will lay 100000 eggs
in a season, and thus it is that they are
so cautious in not having more than
one in a hive. If q queen should be
lost in any way, the bees make ano-
ther by feeding one of their number
with peculiar food, for any bee can
be developed into queen.
The lecturer further described the
swarming of bees, the form and anat-
omy of the tongue and sting, and men
toned the enemies to the little, and
almost rational animal whose history
he had SO ably and humorously detail
cd to his audience. -,
