in this letter, and as reason for not doing SO
must state that DR.. Dorsey, Of Pickaway

single copy had been taken.
The Convention then proceeded to the nomi
nation of Governor, which resulted in tn,

clamation, and the hall being densely packed
the excitement and shouts of the multitude wa
wild and prolonged.
TIE HABEAs CoRPUs IN SUPREME COURT.-
The arguments in this case were completed a
half-past eleven A. NJ. Yesterday tho pre-
sumption was fair that longer time would b
consumed, but at the conclusion Of Mr.. Rid
dies speech the opposite counsel declined argu
ing, handing their briefs to the Court. Attor
ney General Wolcott then commenced th
closing argument, which ended at the tim
above stated. Court reserved the decision
and adjourned until ten A. NJ. tomorrow
The closing remarks of Gen. Wolcott wer
extremely logical and interesting, and the en-
tire argument, consuming as it did nearly iV
hours, was all addressed TO the Court, leavin
a favorable impress of the speaker upon th
minds of all who were so fortunate as to hes
him.
