Conversational.

Congress has now adjourned, and the
closing business has but little to interest
the general reader. The latter part of
the session was mainly taken up in the
consideration of the general appropria-
ton bills and other financial measures.
It is a lamcntabic fact that the appro-
priation bills are always put off to the
last moments of the session, and then
hurried through in a manner that pre-
cludes the possibility of one-half the
members knowing what they contain.
It is in this way that the treasury of the
country is squandered. All parties are
no doubt, glad that the most corrupt of
all Congresses that ever assembled in
this country, is brought to a close. The
next one will be Democratic, and will
command the confidence of the whole
country.

Walker in Nicarngun.

The New York Tribune, a violent an
ti-Walker paper, thus notices the late
news from Nicaragua. 1t is to be hoped
hat those called by the Tribune fllibus-
ters will maintain themselves:
By accounts from Greytown to Feb
ruary 20, received ria Aspinwall, Ia-
vana and New Orleans, it would seem
that the fllibusters, under Lockridge
and Titus, had succeeded in forcing their
way up the San Juan as far as the Cas-
tillo Rapids. The post at Sarapiquihad
fallen into their hands, having been
abandoned by the Costa Ricans. The
buildings at Castillo had mostly been
burnt, and though the Costa Ricans still
retained the fort, it was expected that it
would soon be taken. The Scott one of
the river boats, had fallen into the hands
of the f~llibusters, but with the machine
ry too much damaged for use. Anoth-
er of the river boats had been burned
by the Costa Ricans. Castillo Rapids
are about half way up the San Juan
Fort San Carlos, at the entrance of the
lake, is still in the hands of the Costa
Ricans, as are the lake steamers, and the
junction with Walker is still far from
being effected. The accounts from New
Orleans being the story of the fllibus-
tiers themselves, must be received with
all due allowances, especially in what
relates to the lossesi inflicted on the Cos
ia Ricans.
From Walker himself there is no fur
Their news, the last dates from his camp
being those formerly reported, of Fcbru-
ary;3.

Old Twin

In another part of our paper, will be
found the proceedings of a Democratic
meeting held in Twin Township, on last
Saturday, for the purpose of nominating
a Township Ticket. This move of the
Democracy of Twin is the, right kind,
and we would like to see every Town
ship in Preble county follow the noble
example set by them. Every township
in the county should nominate a full
ticket, and support it to a man, and let
the enemy SEQ that we arc still at our
posts, fighting for the success of demo-
cratic men and measures. Everything
is working in favor of the Democratic
party in this county, and it only be-
hooves her noble Democracy to be up
and doing to ensure success. By fol-
lowing the example of our brethren of
''Qld Twin" in nominating a full town
ship ticket of sound and reliable demo-
Gratis, and giving it an undivided sup
port, the organization of u party will
be preserved for the approaching cam
paign, when VIC hope to wipe entirely
out the defunct and unconstitutional
Black Republican party, by elccting a
Democratic ticket. Again We say,
to the democracy of every Township,
call meetings, nominate full tickets, and
send in your proceeding and We will
publish them, that the opposition may
see that VIC arc still alive!
We will print enough of Tickets for
any Township for $3.50. Have your
Tickets printed by all means.

Col, Medary.

We were informed last week by tele-
graph, that Col. MEDARY, the cold
wheel horse" of Democracy of Ohio, was
appointed to the post of Governor of
Minnesota. While we regret to lose
from our ranks so able, efficient and gal
liant a leader, we cannot but congratu-
late the people of this new and flourish
ing territory on their success in having
for Governor a man of such intelligence,
experience, and strict integrity of char
acter. In sunshine and in storm Col.
Medary has always consistently adhered
to the principles of the Democratic par
ty, and Mr.. Buchanan could not have
made a selection better fitted for the
post, or one which would have given
more satisfaction to the Democratic par
ty at large. We predictfor him a faith
full discharge of the duties of his Office,
and feel confident we will not be disap-
pointed. The Dayton Empire remarks ::
1--WE regard the appointment as a high
compliment to the Democracy of u
State, and the President has evinced a
becoming regard to public sentiment
here in confering it upon so worthy an
incumbent. A moro competent and sui
table man, in all respects, could not
have been selected. His long expert
ence in public affairs, his great energy
of character, and his high moral and So
cial qualities, ~eminently fit him for an
honorable and satisfactory discharge of
the intricate and important duties of
Governor of this prosperous and rapidly
Territory. His administra-
cannot fail to promote the interests
of the Territory, in all the essential ell
ements of success, and hasten its admis-
sion into the great family of States which
our present happy and glorious
We look upon this appointment, as
an act of simple justice to Col. Medary.
His whole life has been devoted to the
service of the Democracy, not only Of
Ohio, but the whole Union. In times
IF the darkest adversely, az well as of
the most flattering prosperity, this vete-
an Democrat and patriot has steadily
the principles of his party,
md looked to their success with unfal-
trust. 1t is but right and just
hat, in his declining wears, he should
'eceive some honorable testimonial of
he high esteem, in which he is held by
he political party, with which he has so
ong acted, and SO faithfully served"

ex-governor McAary."

The Columbus Journal, the ccntra.
organ of Black Republicanism, thus
handsomely notices the appointment Of
Colonel Medary as Governor of Mime
sofa. 1t says:
The telegraph announces that oul
neighbor of the Statesman, Colonel Me-
dairy, has been appointed Governor Of
the Territory of Minnesota. We con.
graduate Colonel Mcdary upon his Off
eial honors, which we believe he will
veal gracefully and we'll. No one has
better deserved office of his party than
the "old wheel horse" of the Statesman
No man has warmer friends, and we may
add more bitter enemies, but his friends
largely predominant. While we con-
graduate him upon the acquisition of
this distinguished honor, we shall be
sorry to lose him as an editorial eppo-
nent, and still more as a citizen and a
friend. Success to him.

Governor Geary and Kansas.

We publish in our telegraphic col
umns a statement purportinG to- be rom
Governor Geary, giving the reasons of
his resignation as Governor of the Ter
ritory. 1t appears in the St, Louis Dem
ocrat, a partisan Black Republican sheet,
which it seems in this instance, if we
may believe the telegraph, the Governor
has made his organ of communication
with the public. The Governor COM
plains bitterly of the conduct of the late
Administration in not fulfilling its
pledges with him, Notwithstanding the
notorious fact that it removed all his OPP
ponents in the Territory, on his recon-
mendation-Lecompte among the num-
ber-and so far as the public could dis
Germ, most determinedly sustained him.
In the affair of Lecompte he was legally
wrong, beyond all question, yet the late
Administration espouscd his cause, and
turned that gentleman out of Office
The charges of bad faith against the late
Administration, so far as he was con-
cerned, surprised us, and we doubt not
counter-statements in its vindication will
be made by his friends. The Governor
gives it as his opinion-that Kansas will
be a Slave State, which, if it should be
justified by the result, will be owing
wholly to the foolish and rash proceed
ings of the Republicans, who, by their
Topeka conventions and Lane inva-
sions" have done all they couldt to bring
it about, in the hopes of making politi-
cal capital by it. We trust that the
President, in the appointment of Geary's
successor, will select an able and trusty
man, who possesses energy and decision
of character; in which ease the country
will sustain no loss by the change

awe have at length fully inaugurated
the Railroad enterprise in Texas.
Work is now being done on six distinct
Railroads in the State. At least one
hundred miles will be completed during
1857. Between fifty and one hundred
Evangelical Churches will be built in
the State this year, and nearly as many
school-houses. A duel has not been
fought in the State since its organization;
We have not a single theatrical building;
we have here one thousand and eight

Railroad influence is making Houston

men to Nicaragua. With our emigrants
thither, We have sent one Protestant
Minister and expect to send several
more soon."

The Homicide in washington.

INV -" TUNE
Respecting the assassin of Hume, the
Washington Star says:
Dodridge c. Lee is a spare made man,
rather tall, with thin grey hair and large
grey or blue eyes, and is about SO years
of age. 1t is known to the police that
he procured the pistol on the morning
on which he perpetrated the fatal deed,
borrowing it for the occasion. As the
testimony shows, he was assured of the
responsibility of Mr.. Hume, not only on
the night of the difficulty at the Presi-
dents House, but in the morning before
Mr.. II. called at his room in the Pension
bureau. Some years ago he was on
nected with Billy Meshon in the man
agement of the Alexandria race course,
and was then most noted in that neigh
borhood as a cock fighter. He was dis
missed by Secretary M'CIelland from his
clerkship in the Pension bureau within
an hour after the fatal occurrence. A
strong and most c~ommendable point in
the character of the late Mr.. Hume, has
been most forcibly illustrated in the tes-
timony already given before the Coro-
ner's jury and the bailing magistrates
We allude to his forbearance. - Few men
would have so earnestly plead as he did
to be relieved from resenting the grave
imputation upon a spotless character, sc
pertinaciously forced upon him by the
man by whose hand he fell. The affair
with its antecedents here and its result:
so far, has struck this community with a
thrill of horror.

Ohio Legislature.

We deem it useless to fill up our col
umns with the proceedings of the Leg
islature, because no business of general
utility Is being transacted. Ohio has
never been cursed with just such a Leg
islature before, and we think it will be
some time before she is again. 1t has
now been in session over two months
and not one single important measure
has been finally acted upon, and this,
too. an adjourned session.

Washington,s Farewell Address

The statement that this relic was late
ly stolen from the State Department in
Washington must be erroneous, as it is
said it never was in the possession of the
Government. The Philadelphia bulletin
says:
1t was sent by Washington, at the
time it was written, to be published in
the newspapers then published in this
city by Mr., Claypool. The latter had it
set up" without damaging the ''copy.r
The manuscript was carefully preserved
by Mr.. c., an1i in 1919 or 1850 it was
offered at public sale in this city by the
heirs of Mr.. Claypool. Congress enter
ed into competition for the prize; but,
after a spirited bidding, it was knocked
off to James LcnnoX, Esq. of New
York, fora sum exceeding $4,000. Mr..
l.. had some exact copies of the address
made for his friends, but the great Or
iginal still remains in his possession.
