SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CoSvExTIoN.-
The telegraph has given all the action of
any importance taken by this convention.
The mails bring US the details. The
following is an extract from the speech If
Hon. VIM. L. Yancey. Of Alabama, in
opening the convention:
Il welcome you. as the foreshadowing
Of that other more important convention
which. if injustice and wrong continue to
rule the hour and councils Of the domi>
nant section OF our divided and estrang
ed land, must. ere long. assemble for the
noble purpose Of putting the political and
industrial relations Of the South upon the
safe basis OF an indendent sovereignty
whose climate and soil. production and
social institutions. will have that unity
which experience seems to have demon
strated TO be the only permanent basis Of
successful government"

DEATH. INSANITY. AND THE DUNGEON
The sad consequences Of vice we're never
more strikiugly exhibited than in the fol-
lowing paragraph. which we copy from
late New Orleans letter. 1t is truly a
melancholy case, and it should prove a
solemn warning to persons tempted TO de-
part from the path of virtue:
1.-The grand jury OF this parish has
found a bill OF indictment against George
w. Hardy. who. several weeks ago. shot
II. c. H. Stone. whom he charged with
seducing his daughter. The bill was
found on Saturday last. The trial will
probably take place in the course Of q
month or six weeks. Public opinion now
seems 10 be that the homicide was total
ly inexcusable. and that young Stone has
met an unmerited fate. This is q truly
melancholy case. The father is compar
atively an old man, and heretofore stood
we'll in thu community as a teacher OIL
youth; now he is immersed in dungeon
and charged with murder. Stone was
just entering life with peculiar advantages,
was prosperous in business. and surround
ed by host Of con6ding friends; now 6
cold grave enwraps him."

good reason onathst score why even no-

MEssRs. ED1roRs:
One Of the county Offices to be filled
on the eth Of May is that of Surveyor.
Allow me to suggest. through the col.
umns of your paper, for the consideration
of the people. the importance of sele citing
man to fil that office who is no, only
we'll qualified and worthy. but one who
will keep the Office in its proper place.
I here is almost as much necessity for
this office being kept at the county seat,
as there is for either Of the other County
Offices. Ever since the formation of the
county Of Harrison. the Office has been in
the upper part Of the county, some six
miles from the county seat.
Col. John R. Boggess, who is an
nounced as a candidate. If elected, will
keep the Office at Clarksburg. where it
should always have been. His qualitica.
tions and merits. I presume. are well
known to many throughout the county,
having acted for long time as Deputy
Surveyor. aud for several years past done
a greater part of the official surveying of
the county.
Mr.. Cyrus Raymond. the present in
cumbent, though man worthy the title
Of gentleman, is too old to do the sur
veying. and keeps the office go far from
the Court house tina. the PEOPLE are sub.
ject to great Inconvenience in trans
acting their business and in examining
the books and papers of the Office.

does not deny any charge therein brought

What | first say. last say. I stated
that Mr.. Holden repudieted in advance
the action of the Democratic party. unless
certain things were complied with. which.

ton urged was that Know Nothings had
voted in the primary election at Lum ber-
port and Shinnston. Where was his
proof of that? He had not seen the polls

had voted at either ofthese precincts.

ANOTHER STATE ADMITTED The House
Of Representatives yesterday finally pass
ed the bill. which had previously gone
through the Ssuate. for the admission OF
Minnesota into the Union as State. and
we thus have now a galaxy Of thirty two
stars to embl"znn upon the national stan
dard. Should Kansas elect to come in
under the recent act OF Congress. there
will be still another State sovereignty to
add TO the list. Minnesota had already
ma choice Of her Senators and Repre-
sentatives. in anticipation of her admiss-
ion. and thsy will most likely take their
seats in Congress to day. Gen. Shields
and MIR. Rice are the Senators. The bill.
we believe. allows the State two Repre-.
sentatives. though Minnesota had claimed
three.
