Gov.rnor WrivhtAccegts,

The report that Ex-Governor Wright,
of Indiana, would not accept the ap-
pointment of Minister to Berlin, is in
correct. The State Sentinel, of Indiana
polls, says that he has returned to that
city, and announces his acceptance of
the Office. He will leave this country
about the middle of next month, SO as
to reach Berlin by the 18th of August.
He intends to visit his children in Iowa
next week and will be here on the 4th
of July. The best wishes of his many
friends in Indiana will attend him for
success in his new field Of labor and
his future health and happiness. Mr..
Butler, who now occupies the post, will
for the present, and perhaps in the fu-
ture, if agreeable to the Minister, retain
the position of Secretary of Legation.

Criticism ON the Proposed New
-, Bank Inv for Ohio.

~ 80 A1IAtAA AAV lOE OEAlOs
The Stark County Democrat, in cal.
ling attention to the new Bank Law.for
Ohio, which is to be submitted to the
people at the ensuing October election,
makes the following criticism upon it.
It says:
We, too, commend it to the careful
perusal of every voter, believing it to be
anything but a esafe Bank Bill" as
section 35, which we give, will show:
9SEcTIoN 35. Each branch shall at
all times, have on hand, in gold and sill
yer coin, or their equivalent, one-halfa at
least ofwhich shall be in gold and silver
coin in its. vault, an amount equal to'at
least thirty per cent, of the amount of
its outstanding notes of circulation; and
whenever the amount of its outstanding
notes of circulation shall exceed the
above-named proportion, no more of its
notes shall be paid out, or otherwise put
in circulation, by such branch; nor shall
such branch increase its liabilities by
making any new loans or discounts 9TH
.er than disceunting or purchasing bills
of exchange, payable at sight; nor make
any dividend of its profits, until the re-
quired proportions between its outstan-
ding notes of circulation and gold and
silver coin; OF their equivalent on hand
shall be restored. Actual depo5its
with any solvent bank of established
credit in the cities of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia or Baltimore subject to be
drawn against at sight, payable in gold
and silver coin, wherever these terms are
used in this act"
This section, it will be observed, re-
quires an mount equal only to fifteen
per cent of the circulation to be kept in
gold land silver in the vaults. Thisisequal
70 six dollars and sixty-six cents o pro Il
i5es in the hands of the people for every
dollar in specie in the vaults If a
plumber scheme like this is "safe," what
bank bill, we ask, is not safe? As to
the actual deposits" of fifteen per cent,
in Eastern banks, every one familiar
with modern bank swindling knows
well how that is obtained and how I'M
reliably it is when 4 run is made ON the
banks.
1t will be observed, too, that when
their gold and silver shall run below
fifteen per cent, they are to have their
own time TO get it up to ''the required
proportion" Neither is it criminal to
let the specie run below the fifteen per
cent.

The Minnesota Constitutional
Convention.

Parties are pretty close in the Min
nesota Constitutional Convention, and
its complexion will probably be decided
by the decision upon some disputed
seats which exist. The Chicago Times,
in noticing the matter, says:
The election in Minnesota is, it ap-
pears, to be followed by some confusion.
The city of St. Anthony formed a re-
preventative district and a council dis
trict in the last Legislature of the Ter
ritory. The act providing for the cleo
ton of delegates to the Convention,
gave to each district a representation
equal to twice its representation in the
last Territorial Legislature. Thus, the
city of st. Anthony was represented in
the Legislature by two delegates and
one member of the council and, there
fore, the representation in the Constitu-
tional Convention was to be six-four
for the delegates and two for the coun-
cilmen.
x 4 X i x K
The election in St. Anthony resulted
in the election of two Democrats and
four Republicans. But the returning
officer for that county is one Rev. Chas.
G. Ames, editor of the St. Anthony
Republican, and this Individual, acting
under the advice, it is said, Of Lyman
Trumbull. has refused to give certificates
to the two Democrats, and has returned
all six Republicans as elected. The
design of this is to have, if possible, a
Republican majority at the organization
by allowing the two defeated Republi-
cans to vote as members. The pretext
for this movement is that the Demo
cratic ticket did not specify whether the
candidates were voted for as delegates
in the Council OF Representative dis,
trict. Neither the act Of Congress moi
the Legislative act prescribes that any
such thing shall be specified:
The Times adds that all their machin.
atoms will not avail; that the Conven
ton will certainly contain q majority O.
Democrats.

WHAT UNcLESAM Has DoNE.=The
following contrast is felicitously- noted
by the Brooklyn Eagh:

for the past eighty years, having three
wars, buying territory from france and
Mexico, building railroads, specializing
in a bank, and trading with all creation,
comes out with a snug little balance on
hand Of S22 600, 0O0-enough to set up

Billings Patent Fire and Water
Proof Roofing.

THIS most valuable roofing material was
i patented by Horace Billings of Boards
town, Illinois, in 1850; since which time it has
been subjected to the most rigid tests for dura-
hility. As roofing material it has also prov
ed to be invaluable and enduring The elegance
of finish it imparts to building, the ubiquity
of the materials OF which it is composed, and
the fact that it combines the valuable qualities
of nearly every other kind Of roofing, being a
aon-conductor of heat, thereby yielding de-
gree of comfortin summer to the buildings COW
cred with it, afforded by no ordinary material
and imparting no prejudiciai quality whatever
to rain water, but leaving it pure, and suitable
for culinary purposes; has gained for it ee-
lebrity, equaIied by no other invention of the
age, in the same length of time. For the proof
of which, the subscribers would invite the at
tention of aliinterested, to testimonials in theiI

is the result of the combined efforts Of several
of the most practical machinists and experi-

During the i-st few years we have examined

thousand mechanics, fully experienced in the
use of machinery for the manufacture of lum
Der. During the last year we have sold and
shipped to various parts of this continent near

have afforded us large amount of practical

come, the defects to be guarded against, and
the objects to be obtained in machinery of this
character. s3s.s,s.t -sss
The Mill we now offer does not claim its su-
periority from any single Improvement or pat
emit which it may embrace, but as combina-
tion of all the most valuable improvements
which could be included with single machine.
added to which are several new appliances
lately patented, and others for which patents
have been applied for. 1t has been thorough
