The Reform Convention.

RUTLAND, June 26.-The chief incl
dent ct the Convention to-day was the
introduction, by Mrs. Julia Branch of
New York. Of the following resolution:
Resolred, That the slavery and de-
graduation of woman proceeds from the
institution of marriage; that by the mar
riage contract she loses the control Of
her name, her person, her property, her
labor, her affections, Ter children and
her freedom.
An exciting discussion followed upon
this resolution, the speakers being Mrs.
Branch, H. S. Foster, Joel Tiffany, Mr..
Levely, Mrs. Ernestine, L. Rose, F. W.
Coans and others.
The afternoon session was devoted to
discussion of the slavery question, and
speeches were made by P. Pillsbury,
VIM. Goodell, J. S. Foster, Mrs. Rose
and others. Mr.. Foster cared nothing
about the Union. He would say, rather
than a single slave should be held in
bondage, down with the Union, down
with the Constitution, down with relig-
ion, down with the church, down with
the Bible, and let all go to hell and dam
nation.
The Convention is TO be continued this
evening and tomorrow. About 1000
people were present to-day, and more
are expected TO be in attendance to-mor-
row Sunday Great excitement exists
here IN regard TO the Convention.

Garner, Of Gibson county, being unwell from
an attack of bad cold, took a dose of what
he supposed to be sulphur, and also admin
istered portions to his wife and brother
about twelve years old. All three were soon
taken violently i'll, and upon examination
they discovered that they had swallowed,
through mistake, a part Of the contents of a
paper containing hog-cholera medicine which
was composed of sulpur and arsenic. On
Wednesday morning, notwithstanding the
physicians who were sent for did all in their
power to effect a cure Mr.. Garner died, but
we are happy to state that his wife and lit
tie brother are in a fir way u recover. The
deceased was young man highly respected
by those who knew him and was just get

who will earn his salary by attending to the
condition of the work and the wants of the
people. Before the election Of Doctor Bar
ton, a Trustee had never been seen upon the
Southern division, as we are informed.
The people of this section willsupport Or.
Barton if no better man can be had from

all political considerations in this matter,
and are determined to support the most eff

1t was by the efforts and labors of the citi
zens of Evansville, that the public lands
were secured to the canal, and by them one
half of the State debt adjusted, and the
canal finally completed, Had it not been
for the energetic exertions and generous
expenditures Of few inhabitants of this
city, reRe Of these great ends would have
been accomplished. Upto this period this
city has been disappointed in all the results
anticipated from the work for which she
made such exertions and-as she believes
in a good measure by the neglect Of those
who have had charge Of it. Our citizens
are resolved, if possible, to test the correct
ness of these impre sions, ard BY securing
the election of an efficient man, see if it be
not possible to keep the Southern portion of
the canal in navigabIe order, part of the
year at least.
! The candidate who resorts to the humbug
of talking about saving. $500 or t$6oo per
annum to the State for travelling expenses,
when neither salary nor expenses is paid by
the State is certainly unworthy of the of
fee. The State, by resolution, years ago,
reduced the salary of their Trustec-which
is paid by the canal-from 1000 to $1,000 !;
| but the co-Trustees, in violation Of the law,
have continued to pay the States officer the
old salary of s., 200, and, as it now appears,
$500 or $500 beside for two or three visits
on the railroad to Terre Hautc $4,000 or
| 81, 800 is paid out Of the collapsed treasury
of the canal, when the State has declared
$1,000 to be al its officer shall exact. This
is the manner in which the resources of the
canal are squandcred, while the canal is go
ing to rain1 for the wantlof appropriations
for essential repairs. The Bond-holders and
the State had both better agree to transfer
