EiiiaA NeIIn,

The RepublicAn candidated Cur the
Office Of Secretary of State, is native Of
Ohio. He emigrated in 1888 to Winches-
ter, Morgan Co., now Scott Co., Illinois.
In 1S4l he removed to Davenport. Iowa,
where he engaged in the manufacture of
stone ware, from which place he removed
to Fsirport, Muscatins Co., where he fol-
lov d the same occupation, and thcnee,
in 1883, to Museatine.
lie was member of the first constitu-
tioual convention in 1874, and then ad-
vocafed the adoption Of banking sys-
TEN, similar to the one now adopted. Un-
fortunately his counsels were rejected,
and the State left exposed to the inroads
of that worthless wildcat currency that
has since cursed it.
He was q member of the FIRST State leg
islature, and was chairman of several Of
the most important committees He was
also member Of the extra session Of the
General Assembly Of 1877, and in that
body advocated the diversion Of the land
donated to the Territory Of Iowa. and
known ~ the ssDesmoines River Grant"
TO the construction Of railroad up the
Desmoines valley.
Mr.. Sells was again a member Of the
e .islature in 1852, and was there pre-
sented BY his party as speaker During
that session he advocated most ably and
efficiently the passage of the memorial
asking grants of lands for the construc-
tion Of the four great railroads CT Iowa,
running from the Mississippi to the Mis-.
sour.
To his services. with those of other
distinguished men, Iowa owes, in . great
measure. the increased emigration and
trnvel which has flowed into it during
the last six years In 1854 the nomina-
sion for Senator was profFercd tn him and
declined. ~ was also the nomination for
Secretary Of State. In 1856 the first
Republican Convention If Iowa, offered
him the nomination Of Secretary Of State.
Believing that In the principles of that
party lay the only safety Of the country
against the extravagance, the corruption
and the utter profieacy of the dominant
party, fearlessiy cast in his fortunes with
those Of that growing party. though In
svitable defeat seemed all that could ba

LATER NEW YORK, July Goth
The Steam ship North Star arrived
here at 10 clock a. NJ, from South
hampton the eth inst.
the most important news by this ar
rival is the failure Of the atte,apt to lay
the Atlantic cable.
The Niagara and Gorgon arrived at
Queenstoa.on the 9Th. The Agamem-
non aud al0rous had not arrived on the
9TH.
The Niagara aai Agamennon met a
third time on the 18th, and the third
time connected the cable They then
started afresh, when the Niagara having
paid out oyer $50 miles of cable, all on
board entertained the most sanguine an-
ticipations of success, when the fatal an
nouncemcnt was made on the 10Th, at
0 o clock L. NJ, that the electric current
had ceased to flow.
As the necessity for abandoning the
project for the present was only too man
iIest, it was considered that the opportu-
atty might AZ well be availed of to test
the strength Of cable. Accordingly this
immense vessel, with all her stores, etc,
was allowed TO sizing to the cable, and an
additional strain OF 40 tons was placed
upon the brakes, yet, although it was
blowing fresh at the time, the cable held
her as if at anchor, for over an hour,
when heavy pitch d tho sea snapped
the rope, and the Niagara bore away for
Qaoenston. es
She must haye passed the Asamem-
non, but owing 10 the heavy fog missed
seeing or hearing any tialngs OF her.-
Ii was conjectured that the latter had
not delivered her specified quantity Of ca
BILE at the time Of failure, and may con-
sequcnIly return b the place Of meeting.
Should nothing be heard Of her, the
Niagara would proceed 70 the ocean sta
ton, having 400 miles Of cable, which,
supposing the othar has retairAed s,lni-
lar amount, will permit OF the junction
being completed, and allowing 30 per
