rably well done, and would escape ordinary

the conclusion is, that some dexterous artif.

been adopted to detect the operator that in.

effect, nor is it even guessed which part of
the State claims the honor of his presence.

STATE NOMINATIONS.

The CALIFORNIAN says 1.-THE choice of
Governor will doubtless be conceded to the
Western side of the State and of the promi-
nent men of that section whom we have
heard mentioned Hon. Inland Hall Of Ben
nington seems to have the most numerous
adherents. Hon. Robert Pierpont of Rut-
land, Hon. Edward Seymour of Vcrgennes,
and several other gentlemen, are also spoken
of in connection with the govcrnorship.
Either one of the above are capable men, and
would doubtless prove acceptable to the anti
administration strength of the State"
So far as Mr.. Seymour's name is spoken of
in any such connection, we know that 1t
altogether repugnant to his feelings. As to
Lieut.. Governor and Treasurer, the Caledo-
MAN says:
"Thc name of Hon. Edward A. Cahoon
of this county has been suggested by some of
the Windsor County papers, and would meet
with ready and substantial endorsement
from this section OF the State. We think
Mr.. Cahoon would prove an admirable pre-
siding officer, and no better Republican or
truer gentleman can be found in Nermonl.
We presume there will be no change in
the Treasury department, as the present in
cumbent is familiar with Its duties and &c
ceptable to men of all parties"
Mr.. Cahoon would be eminently accept.
able to the people in this part of the State
we presume also to the people of the State al
large.
As to Treasurer, we are aware OF no reason
for a change. We believe Mr.. Bates ha:
been an acceptable officer. The Office is 'nc
great shakes" so far as pay is concerned
and the responsibility is great.

THE TARIFF INVESTIGATION.

The Report of tho Tariff Investigation
Committee appears to be fair document, is
clear in its statements and briefer than such
papers commonly arc. The evidence taken
before the Committee, and appended to the
report,-is tediously long, though parts of
are interesting enough, and the whole is in
structive.
The conclusions which tho committee reach
are in substance as follows OF tho S87 III
charged on the books of Lawrence, Stone 4
Co., Of Boston, as expended to procure tho
passage of the tariff act Of 1857, which sum
was IN various ways paid over to John W.
Wolcott Of Boston, as an agent for it's dis
bursement for the purpose aforesaid, there
were paid out sundry sums to the Hon. Geo.
Ashmun Of Mass, d. NJ. Stone of the
journal of Commerce. New York,
Thurlow Weed of Albany, and some 9th
ers, for services in getting up and publishing
statistics, in conversing and arguing with
Members of Congress at Washington, in lee
committee find nothing to blame anybody for;
they say further that there is no evidence
that there was any money paid, directly or
indirectly TO members of Congress to influence
their votes. $500 was paid TO j. N
Reynolds, President OF the American Council
Of New York, for the purpose of getting up
resolutions in favor Of the measures and pro-
curing their passage by the Councils of the
American party, DC. Also, $1,000 was given
TO A. R. Corbin, Clerk Of the Committee of
Claims Of the House Of Representatives at
Washington, by way Of acknowledgement for
acts of kindness in promoting the object
About S70,000 Of the money entrusted 10
Wolcott, the Committee believe wa. pocketed
by Wolcott himself, and not accounted for
to his employers Wolcott said that he
paid out no money for corrupt purposes, nut
refused to tell what he did do with it. lie
was therefore confined by order of the Crlmi-
nal Court, for refusing to give evidence, but
subsequently was discharged on bail of $1,000.
That bail he has forfeited. Unquestionably
he did pay out the money for corrupt pur-
poses or did put it into his own pocket, and
it was pity that he was allowed to escape
without revealing how the fact was. The
Committee evidently consider him to be liar
and a swindler.
The testimony of Corbin displays as cool
efrontery as Is often met with. He acknow-
lodges that the s 1000 was given him as re-
ward for service in favor of the bill, and says
that instead Of working for it he worked

LETTER FROM CHICAGO.
CHICAGO. May 25th, 1858

Dear FREQ ress-Rain rain rain is the
general cry here and throughout the West this
spring 1t really seems as though it had estab-
lished itself as regular institution and we begin
to look for it as naturally as we do for the ap-
preach Of day light or night fall. 1t is becoming
a serious atfliction to our ontire community. To
say nothing Of the awful muddy streets" and the
general inconvenience Of outdoor locomotion, the
question is constantly sprngng up "whnt will tho
farmers do ?"
Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, and
the "hard times" caused by the great Financial
Crisis" which for many months has been brooding
over our entire community, Chicago hs. been
blessed with a revival Of business. Tho Money
King" is beginning to circulate more freely among
his subjects, and we already impulse given to
tho great interests that govern the commerce Of
our country. Our vessels have commenced the
transportation of the great staple of commerce that
must find market by the Lakes. Chicago, at the
present time, is the largest lumber market in the
world, and these vessels engaged in bringing
from tho distant shores of the La e, the countless
masses Of lumber which are to be distributed
hrou shout the vast praries to the South and West
from this port. During the last winter the amount
of lumber manufactured in Michigan and else
where, will fall far short of the usual quantity,
consequently there will not be near as much ship
ped this season as heretofore, nor will the demand
be as great.
This is also tho most extensive grain market in
the world. From here these vessels are conveying
millions Of bushels, gathered from various
parts of the Great West" to the eastern pur-
chasers and consumers.
Owing to the cheapness of lumber and labor here
this spring, many Of cur ''monioa mon" arc oxtSn-
sively engaged at building. Many fine public as
we'll as private buildings are being erected in all
parts Of the city. The city authorities, also, re-
garding this as favorable time, are actively en-
gagged in the improvement of their streets and side
walks GONE of which have been in a shameful con
dition. Everywhere about the streets the sound of
the hammer is heard, and the preparation for build
ing going on rapidly. All these are manifesto
tions of industry and enterprise, for which this
city is emincntly noted as well as for its fast
ness.
Chicago is truly uorid in miniature. People
gathered here from all parts Of the earth, and
every civilized nation has here its representatives.
Here common impulse seems to move the whole,
and all have been seized by the same infatuaton'
Outsiders say it is the rage for money-makiay, and
that the 90 Golden Calf" is the Idol which stimu-
aes its worshippers to action. The initiated, how
ever, declare it is enterpriseand enthusiasm,
which opportunities and the particular circum-
stances governing here, have developed,

FISEp.-The cases alluded to heretofore, Of

FISEp.-The cases alluded to heretofore, Of
prosecution Of sundry persons who refused
to obey the orders Of the Chief Engineer OF
the Fire Department. at the burning of the
Pioneer shop, came up for trial Friday before
Justice Hector Adams.
Moses Murphy, the first one tried, was
convicted and fined SIS and costs--amounting
to 1885 in all-which he paid upon the
SPIT, and departed.
Dennis Cassian, was also convicted and
and fined five dollars. In this case the i'm
portant question, whether the control of tho
Engineer extends t, persons living out OF
the District came up. The Court decided
that the control Of the Engineer is over al
those present ut the fire. The fact that
Cassian had had no breakfast at the time the
Engineers order was given was mentioned
which the counsel for prosecution pleasantly
observed, should not be allowed to have a
bearing, as the fire occurred on Fast Day.
Ira Putnam, for the same offence, was fined
five dollars.
10 Balm Jr. was tried Friday p. NJ.
for dsobedience of the orders of the Chief
Engineer, at the burning of the Pioneer Shop,
and was fined five dollars The fines in all
these cases were put at the lowest sum per-
mitted by the law, both because the young
men were all of them ignorant of the exist
ence Of the law, and because it was the gem
eral wish of all concerned that leniency
should he the rule in these first prosecutions
under the Act. If these proceedings shall
secure at future fires Gas we presume they
willy the respect and obedience which belongs
to the Engineer, all will be satisfied.
One more case, which derives an especial
interest from tho fact that the defendant is
an employee Of the Rutland Railroad Co., and
is defended by that company, on the ground,
as we understand, that his employment as
engineer of the Mail Train exempted him
from service at the fire, is postponed to the
22d of June.

NOMINATING CONVENTION.

Several Of the Newspapers Of the State
have seconded the view which the Free
Press took on the subject Of nominating con-
yentions-sayng as we do, that they ought
to consist of delegates chosen by the people
at home. The Woodstock Standard says:
"The committee did not, under the cir
cumstunccs feel warranted in calling the
convention this year in this way, although
we know several, il not all Of the committee,
are in favor personally Of the plan. We
trust the convention when it meets will adopt
Il resolution that all future State conventions
shall b. made up Of delegates chosen at home
on II fair basis.
The Bellows Falls Times says:
''Our State Conventions are called as mass
meetings, and hence it is not often that the
people are at all represented, while all the
| political Jockeys and those who make politics
| IA trade are sure 81 be there, and have every
thing tlier own way. We hops movement
will b. made t. the effect that all further
conventions shall be composed of delegates
elected at home. This will bring the matter
directly before the people. We understand
| there are some persons now engaged in ran
sacking this state from one end to the other,
to bring about certain ends. There IL no
thing republican about this, and the only
way to remedy this piece OF disgusting polit-
cal chicanery is to carry out the above sug-
| gastions. Candidates ought to be brought
forward in an open, free and frank manner,
and not by secret wire pulling, as is to- often
the ease in all parties
