Three large dogs were brought, which, bark

He took them, one after another on his

of them he caught in his fall, and tossed
him again. The dogs tore his ears into

while he kept them off by presenting to them
first one horn and then the other. Then
the dogs were withdrawn, and the chatlos
tried him again, but he would not chase
them far; the oicadores poked at him with
their lances, but he declined to gore their
horses. The crowd shouted vigorously,

Washington, Aug. 16.
To HEe MAJESTY VICTORIA QUEEN oE
The President cordially recprocate the
congratulations or Her Majesty the Queen on
the success of the great enterprise accom-
plished by the science, skill, and indomtable
energy of the two countries. 1t is a triumph
more glorious, because more useful to man
kind, than was ever won by conqueror on the
field of battle. May the Atlantic telegraph,
under the blessing of Heaven. prove to be a
bond Of perpetual peace and friendship be-
tween the kindred nations, and an instrument
destined by Divine Providence to diifuse Reli-
gon, Civilization. Liberty and Law, u rough
the world. In this view will not all nations
of Christendom spontaneously unite in the
declaration that it shall be forever neutral, and
that its communications shall be held sacred
IN the PASSAGE 10 their places of destination even
in tina midst OF hostilities?

The Republican Judicial Convention. al
Bloomfield, on the 11th, the proceedings of
which we present elsewhere, was one of the
most interesting, and in every respect satisfac-
tory meetings that it has ever been our fortune
to attend. Although some of the delegations
were not full, yet every county ia the District
was represented by active, intelligent and
whole-souled Republicans. The proceedings
were harmonious, there being but one feeling
manifested, and that was, how in the best
and most efficient manner to promote the sue
cess of the glorious principles of the party.
8. w. Summers, Esq of this city, it will be
seen, was the nomination for Judge of the
District Court. That this was good nomi-
nation we need not say to this community
where Mr.. S. is so well known. Perhaps the
Oldest practitioner at the Bar Of the District,
no one has had more experience, and his le-
gal attainments are second to no Attorney
within its bounds. Engaged now in very
large and lucrative practice, worth much more
to him, pecnniarily, than the Judgeship, the
Convention felt that acceptance Of the nomi-
nation would he a sacrifice of his private in
terests, but they would not present for the Of
fee any one not qualified to discharge its du-
ties. We sho Id say in this connec ion that
Mr. Summers has not vet accepted the nomi-
nation so far as we know, but If he should do so
it will give US great pleasure to have him elect
ed.
s. G. McAchran, Esq, of Bloomfield, who
was placed in nomination for the Office of Dis
trict Prosecutor, has been long and favorably
known in the district as gentleman, and a
sound and successful lawyer. 1t is universal
ly conceded that better and stronger nomi-
nation, for this important office, could not
have been made, anG we can say that we have
satisfactory assurances that his prospects Of
success are by no means discouraging.
Mr.. j. T. Place, of Centreville, Appanoose
county, is the nominee for Member of the
Board of Education. and we are assured by
those who know him well, that he is in every
particular admirably qualified for chat position.
He is very popular where he is best known,
and will give good account of himself.
We must not neglect to mention that after
the transaction Of the business before the con-
vention, brief and pertinent addresses were
made by two Of the candida ties, Messrs. Nc
Achran and Place, accepting the nomin atoms
rendered them, and eloquent and spirit-stiring
speeches by Hon. John Edwards of Charlton.
and H. Clay Caldwell, Esq, of Keosauqua,
in which the principles and claims of the Re-
publican Party were ably indicated, and the
hollow pretences, and miserable receptions of
the sham Democracy, exposed in mastery
manner.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Dubuque Her
aid says that Judge Wilson has decided that a
mortgage, with power of sale, or, as some
would call it, a deed of trust, in which the
MORTGAGE is made the trustee, is not deed of
trust within the meaning of the act of Assem-
bly, passed last winter. An attempt was made
to sell certain real estate by mere notice, as
provided in the instrument, but the Judge
granted an injunction to restrain the sale, and
on argument made the rule absolute Foreclo-
snres under such instruments as this referred
to, must therefore take the same course as
simple mortgages.

We cannot find room this week for the no.
tice of the Centreville Convention, which we
designed to give, and can only say in relation
to that subject, that the nomination of Hen
dershott is openly denounced by leading Dem
ocrats from one end of the District to the 9TH
er, on the ground of trickery and fraud, and
a gross Misrepresentation of the sentiment and
wishes of the Democracy Of the several coun-
ties They appear to be getting up very
pretty fight. which will doubtless be interest
ing to dsinterested spectators.
