ing himself democrat" gives his opinion
Of what the Republicans were caucusinR
about, week or two since. He says
"They 1.-THE Republicans said there was a
mighty smell Of rats, and perfume Of bottles
and jugs, which was rery disagreeable."-
No doubt of it, ,and they were very foolish in
going intn close room, where no fresh air
could be had and no vent given to the disa-
greeable "perfume Of bottles and jugs" We
advise them 10 put up the blinds, hoist the
windows and keep at respectful distance
from each other, the next time they hold a
secret caucus. By these means the perfume
Of "bottles and jugs" may be rendered less

The Judicial Convention.

1t was agreed by tic counties COM
posing the second subdivision Of the
seventh judicial district, to nominate
q candidate for Common Pleas Judge,
at the same time and place of holding
the congressional convention. The
following counties compose the Judi
cial district-Pike, Scioto, Lawrence,
Vinton and Jackson. Mr.. E. 7.
Bingham, received the nomination
unanimously. Mr.. B. is q resident
of Vinton county, and represented
that county in the Legislature in 1856
and 7. Personally, he is true gen.
tleman, whose character is above re-
proach, and who impresses himself at
once upon the favorable regard Of all.
Wherever he is known, he is favor
lite with the people. Intellectually.
he is a man Of fine genious. Endowed
with q profound acquaintance with
the fundamental principles Of law, and
gleat acuteness and quickness Of per.
ception, he is peculiarly adapted to
the labors Of the bench. His nomi.
nation was not made without due
regard for the office, and for the man.
He cannot but reflect honor upon
our courts. That the people of this
district may have the benefit Of his
services, We most ardently urge his
triumphant ection.-PiketOn Un-
ion.
After the adjournment of the Con.
gressional Convention, the Delegates

Of ripe judgment, excellent abilities
and one who possesses in an eminent
degree every qualification requisite to

"HALF CHICKEN Cock AND HALF GAEDER. .
The Portsmouth Tribune, short time
since, opposed any convention Of Know.
Nothings and Republicans Tor the nomina-
tion of Congressman, declaring it would
rather support an out.spoken democrat than
the "half chicken cock and half gantler"
nominee. which such convention would
hatch out. We perceive, ho vever, that
X. N. Convention is to be held at Ports
mouth on the 26th, and that a Republican
Convention is to be held there on the same
day and that, between the two, "half
chicken cock and half gander" candidate, is
to be hatched out. All ight-an "out-spo-
ken democrat" will be elected, anyhow.

BRIBERY--MoNEY SUED FoR.--We
learn from the correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun that John W. Wal.
colt, who was the hero of the Tariff
Corruption Committee ofthe last ses.
sion, has been sued by the creditors of
Lawrence, Stone & Co., for the recov-
erp of the $4,000 which he received
from that firm for the purpose of inhu-
encing the passage of the tariffo 1857,
and which, as is we'll ascertained, lie
kept in his pocket, probably by an un-
derstanding with Sam Lawrence, who
now shelters himself abroad from
prosecution at home. The trial may
elicit some further facts in regard to
Lawrence's tinanciering.

NORTH CAROLINA ELEcIloN.--The
Wilmington IN. C) Journal of a
late date says the majority for Judge
Ellis, the Democratic candidate fol
Governor, is unprecedented, and thai
the Legislature will not differ much
from what it was two years ago, wher
the Democrats had majority of two
to one. This gratifying result gives
the Democrats two United States Sen,
ators. The Western Telegraph has
yet taken no notice ofthis great Dem.
ocratic triumph. If the State had
been carried by the opposition, light.
ming would have been to slow a me-
dinm for it to have disseminated tho
news.
