ohio Congressional Nominations.

The Tenth District, composed of Ross, Pike,
Gallia, SciotO and Jackson counties, is misreP-
resented in the presen. Congress by Joseph
Miller. who is q candidate for reelection. Mr..
Miller, is an original LecomPtonite, and is en-
titled TO much more consideration and conf
dence than Cox, Lawrence, Hall d Co, who
started off 6ercely Anti LecOmpton, and in the
end deserted Douglas and betrayed their con-
stitucnts The Opposition in the Tenth Dis
triet have acted SO sensibly and discreetly that
Miller is preparing for "Salt RivertriP-'' The
Republicans and Americans met in separate
Conventions in Portsmouth on the 26th inst {,
and nominated DR.. Carey NJ. Trimble, of Oh lii
cothe, as candidate of the united Opposition for
Congress. The Cincinnati Times says he viii
beat Miller with all ease. So mote it be.
The Democracy of the Muskingum, &C., dis
trict have two candidates in the field. Colonel
Manypenny was nominated at the regular Con-
vention, but he is repudiated by the Buchanan
wing, on account Of his nti-LeeomPtonism.-
AT a large meeting of Democrats held at Zanes-
vile, DIR. Drake and Samuel Chapman made
speeches stating that there was no sound Demo
crat in the field for whom Administration men
could vote, and the result was the nomination
of lnathAn Swank, of fZanesyille, for Congress,
who accepted the nomination. Mr.. S. is 4 me
chanic of prominence, and has the reputation
of an honest, oussPOken man. The movement

Affairs for the two main branches of the OPpOsi-

will be no distinctive Republican Convention,
and no American Convention, as such; the Citi-

to absorb and supersede both It is well known
that the Democrats have ruled Hamilton cOun-

now quite certain that Messrs. Pendleton and
Gro ,sbeck, the members who misrepresented
the people by supporting the English swindle,
will be forced to retire 10 private life.

The Frazer River Gold Excitement.

Emigration to the new gold diggings from
California had pretty much ceased at the lates;
San Francisco da.es, August 5th. Instead Of
eleven steamers running between that port and
Victoria, as the month previous, the number
had been reduced TO two, and they carried no
miners bound to Frazer River The water still
| kept up, and some three thousand miners were
waiting in idleness at Fort Yale and vicinity
for the floods to abate. AT present few are
able to reach the mines, from which the ae-
counts continue favorable, though quite CON
Trajectory. 1t seems to be a fixed fact
that valuable gold mines exist In New Gale
donia, but to get at them is the most per-
picking nOtter. During high water the Fra
ger river is described as 4 continuous tor
rent, and the river bank Is almost as forbid
ding as the river itself For 80 miles above
Fort Yale, the stream runs through a canon,
whose sides rise steep from the waters edge to
near the limit Of perpetual snow. These banks
are again cut by transverse gullies, with still
sleeper sides The banks of snow in the noun
tains keep the streams In full bauk until late in
the season
A new and practicable route to the head wa
ters of the Frazer River it is reported has been
discovered, over which men and supplies can
be sent with toerable facility, as soon as a trail
can be opened. 1t is also stated that there are
thousands of men at Victoria and on Frazer
River who would be glad to return to Califor-
MIA if they had the means

Democratic spin in PhilndeIpbia.

The LecomptOn and Anti-Lecompton war in
Philadelphia wages fereely, especially in the
first Congressional district. The Buchanan De
mocracy nominated T B. Florence, who repre-
sents LecomptOnism, for Congress, and the
Democratic opponents of LecOmptOn thereuPOn
selected Dr. G. W. Nebinger as their candidate.
Dr. n was at the head of the Buchanan elect
oral ticket in 1856, and like Col. FOrney, of the
Press, was one of the most earnest and devoted
friends of Buchanan. Many of the prominent
and influential old Democrats of Philadelphia
participated in the nomination of Mr.. Nebin-
ger, and the Press says;
Nothing is more alarming than the manner in
winch Federal patronage, with its hordes Of
employees in the navy yard, and the attaches Of
the custom house and post office, has been
srTayed against the immortal doctrine that the
viii of the majority shall control and nothing
has contributed more to awaken intense indig-
nation in all the Congressional districts Of this
city against the Leeompton policy, than the at
tempt to make this policy = test, and the efforts
Of & few ofice-hOlders to compel disinterested
Democrats to endorse It on pain Of expulsion

We entertain the kinjest feelings) been permit
ted honestly TO represent the wishes Of his
constituents, Instead of being made the organ
Of a debasing test upon high-minded and intel
Hgent Democrats, the unhappy schism in the
first district would not have taken place.

Attempt to KnsIaye a White Woman

The greed of the dealers in human flesh and
blood is ioreibly illustrated in case recently
decided in Mason county, Kentucky The facts
are thus stated by the MaysyiIle, Ky, Eagle:
One Of the most remarkable and intensely in
teresting cases ever brought before a court of
justice was tried and disposed Of in our Circuit
Court last week. The plaintiff, Ann Goddard,
was a handsome young woman, about 2l
years of age, perfectly white, with long, luxu-
rant, and straight hair, graceful and easy in
manners, and having all the appearance of an
accomplished and well raised lady. Her fea-
lures bore the highest mark Of European per-
feetion, and there was not the slightest indica-
tion Of African blood in her veins
She brought suit for her freedom, alleging
that she had been forcibly arrested by the off
GERS, and lodged in the negro Jail Of the late
james Mcmillan. under the claim Of tho de-
fendant, Mary Goddard, that she was her slave,
''when in truth she was 4 free white woman"
The suit was brought nearly two years ago,
by Hon. r. H. Stanton, and prosecuted by him,
with the assistance Of Hon. W. II. Wadsworth
and Judge J. d. Taylor and defended by Hon
II. Taylor and I. y. Campbell, Esq. When
the Jury was sworn, the only testimony relied
on by the plaintiff was the exhibition of her
own person for their inspection, her counsel
claiming that her appearance was PTiraa faeie
evidence Of her freedom, and the presumption
thus being raised, of course the burden OF proef
rested upon the defendant TO establish her
slave. An attempt was then made by the de-
lendant to prove her daughter Of muauo
named Matilda, by whom the plaintiff had been
reared from infancy, but in this they did not
succeed, as no witness was introduced who was
present at the birth of the child.
The case was ably argued on both sides, and
much feeling was manifested in the community
on behalf ef the plaintiff. When the jury
brought in their verdict to the effect that she
was '.free Iohie ioOman," the Judge was COM
PEELED to address the audience upon the imPro-
priety of any demonstrations of applause in a
court Of justice, in order TO keep down uni
versal impulse to show the satisfaction given
by the result

August Cold snaps and Rain storm.

The last quarter of August has been singular
ly unreasonable in weather On the night OF
the e3l slight frosts were experienced all over
New England, in portions ofNew York, and in
Northern and Central Ohio, Michigan, Northern
Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota, IN
some sections sharp enough to leave It's blight
on tender vegetation. The crops have not suf-
fered so far as we have seen the cold snap noted
For several days the weather was clear
and chilly, more in keeping with the close of
fall than summer. On the Goth the cold spell
broke up with heavy showers in this quarter,
followed by cold, drizzling rain of two days
continuance, the end Of which was still pro-
sPeetiEe las. evening. WoOlens and fires are
in requisitiOn thus early in the season.

Gov. Chase in New York---Cabie Talk

Gov Chase in New NOrk---Cabie Talk
An observing friend in New York writes
''Last evening Gov. CaAsE was at the reception
at CYRUS W. FIELD's. A great number of DIS
tinguishel gentlemen were present, and the
large and elegant parlOrs were filled to over
flowing with Judges, Lawyers, Merchants, etc.
Your Governor was voted the best looking man
present, and he was ''the observed of all OBJ
servers" He met many old friends, who gave
him most cordial greeting. There are a
great many in this city who would like to hail
Gov C. as the President Of the United States.
A gentleman Of large experience remarked last
evening, that he thought Gov. CHASE the most
practical statesman of the country, and the
nblest man in any Executive Office in the
Union"
"Nothing has been talked about, read about,
or thought about here, for the last week, but
the Ocean Telegraph. There has been general
and particular rejOicings, guns, bells, bonfres,
and real fires. 1t is one Of the great events Of
the wOrld-an era to date from point Of firAe
that will be forever marked on the Dial Plate
of the Ages. Wonder if they had such re-
joicings in the land OF Uz when Job asked
''Canst thou send the lightnings that they may
go, and say unto them, here we arei" This looks
considerably tslegTamie.
"Every body seems to feel a personal interest
in the Telegraph, and on the first of Septem-
Der here, there viii be a greater Jubilee than
this city ever witnessed before They may buTu
up the balance of the City Hall, now that they
have destroyed Justice with her Scales"

REGENERATION IN IRELAND.-NO act of the
British Legislature has proved Of so much ben
eft to Ireland as the Encountered Estates Act.
which permitted property which was mortgaged
beyond redemption to be sold The effect has
been to take no less than 1880 estates out of
the hands of bankrupt Proprietors, and vest
them, through the medium Of the Court, in
men Of capital The total amount of money
received by the Court since the commencement
of the operation of the law has beeu over f22,.
100000; and it is fact not little gratifying
that of this sum not more than e, ,OO0, 900 was
contributed by English or Scotch purchasers,
Irish gentlemen having been the principal buy
ers. The number OF people who have bought
under the operation Of the Act has been 8, 900,
while the 1850 estates were divided into H..
600 ts-Dsf AGv.

EXCITEMENT IN DELAWARE CoUSTY.-Mr.
Haley removed from Delaware county to Iowa
some time since, but recently returned to Ohio
for the purpose Of remaining. Last week Sher-
if Thompson, Of Iowa, arrested Haley on a
charge of intention to defraud creditors, and on
a requisitiOn from the Governor of that State.
After considerable palaver the matter was ar
ranged. Sheriff Thompson however called at
Halley's house the next day, and on some pre-
tenee induced him to ride over to Delaware
with him in buggy. The next heard of them
they passed through Chicago en- route for
Iowa, Haley being in irons and TOmpkins
keeping close watch over him to prevent his
escape. The Columbus Fact states that the
affair has caused the most intense excitement
in Delaware, and several Of the wealthiest
citizens have resolved to redress the kidnapping
outrage, cost what it may.

Sam. Wire, jr-, being one of the victims. His
loss was over 500. He detected the thief in
the act, and seized him, but not till after he bad

The ComInR EIectIons.

Within about two months important elcc-
tions will take place in Vermont, Maine, Penn
syIvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, New Jersey, Michigan, Massachusetts,,
and New York The results of these elections
will probably be decisive of the political char
acter Of the House of Representatives, and viii
strongly indicate the Presidential result in
1860.
What arc the prospects Vermont votes on
the 7th of September She is all right now,
and will remain so. Her star OF Freedom never
sets. Her three tried Republicans in the House
are re-nominated and will be triumphantly re-
elected. A week later Maine speaks through
the ballOt-bo1. Her entire delegation in Con-
gress is Republican and viii remain so. Three
of the present members are nominated for re-
election.
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana elect mem
bers Of Congress on the second Tuesday of
October. These States furnished full share
of the Lecompton traitors, who, at the last ses-
sion of Congress sought to force slave consti-
tuition upon the people OF Kansas against their
will and in violation of every principle of Re
publican government Most of the traitors are
candidates for reelection, aud if the people do
not rePudiate them in the main, the signs of
the times are in fault. Divisions in the Demo-
cratic party exist in some districts in each of
the States, and handsome Opposition gain
will no doubt be realized.
The other States vote later; New York, Mas
sachusetts and Michigan in November. The
nominations have not all been made yet. Strong
men are being brought forward everywhere by
the Opposition, and we confidently look for a
decisive triumph over the Slave Administra-
ton
