Patent Roofs for Railroad Cars.

The patent for roofs for Railroad cars, OF A
P. Winslow, the popular proprietor of the A.
merican House in Cleveland, attracted much at
tention at Chicago State Fair. The Herald
thus notices the invention, which Railroad men
say is the best thing ever got up.
We were particularly pleased, while passing
through the Manufacturers Hail." with o
model of new patent roofing, the design of A.
P. Winslow, of Cleveland. 1t is by far the
most complete and scientifically arranged spe-
cmen Of the kind we have yet seen. The i'm
provements upon the old styles ofmetallic roof
ing in this are as follows: The usual carlines
or beams are employed with the addition ofa
groove, cut half an inch Deep near the centre
iron plates may match in, with enough space
allowed to avoid any damage from the irregu-
lar motion of the car or vessel to which it may
be attached; it is also arranged so as to grant a
chance for contradiction or expansion of the
iron. Cappings are placed over the carlines for
security In case the upper deck leaks it will
conduct the water into the corogated plate, and
secure the roofing against all possible chance
Of leakage. 1t is also so arranged that any kind
of roofing of wood or iron, sufficiently strong to
enaole any person to Walk upon IL, Gun Ue u9eu
on the upper structure. The upper and low
er tiers ofroofings are pa e1 two ches apart,
and the plates adjust themselves to any motion
ofcars or decks OF boats. As far as fire is con-
cerned it is particularly worthy of notice. II
the upper section burns off the lower one re-
mains intact. A careful examination Of the
model leads us to believe that the invention
will receive the attention that its inventors IN
genuity deserves. We would add that this
roofing can be put on cars by using the best Of
galvanized sheet iron, (about No. 20,) at cost
of about five dollars more than it now costs to
put on tin or canvass roofing and it can be
made OF sheet iron we'll painted, at a cost Of a
bout So less than the present mode of roofing
The galvanized iron is the best, as the plates
will probably outlast several cars. 1t is belieV-
ed that that Mr.. Wnslow's patent has only to
be known to be appreciated and generally adop-

How thcy Tark of Each Other.

The Republican Convention for the county of
Cuyahoga seems to have been unfortunate in
the selection of one Of its candidates for the
Legislature. The Convention nominated a
man by the name Of Blakeslee, against whom
the people of his own immediate neighborhood
are quite rebellious and one of his Republican
neighbors comes out in long communication,
which he winds up as follows:
Now, what is to be done; to vote for this
miserable ignoramus qoe aOtU not--no such pu-
k.rid demagoguc shall ever represent us Of our
consent. A man SO eontemptibly mean that
,is neighbors have shaved his horses tail every
ear for the last SKIS too low a character to
#lairn any other notice from us than to be re-
arded by us as strange specimen of Hem@ge-
iousness, being composed of equal parts Of
@ulldogativeness don't care a-damativeness, and
kunkativs irnpudence, and yet lacking the no.
leness of the first, or the cunning Of the last
nimal specimen.
q With such nominee, we have left forus but
he choice Of two evils and shall choose the
last by voting for the Democratic nominee, il
shall SO far excel ours as to have thimble
Ill of brains and an equal amount OF integrity.
d No sto,n tailed candidates for us, is the voice
many voters from the

Influence ofthe Moon on Plants.

l. Vines, ifpruned when the moon is increas-
ing in light, will shoot out, spread, and grow
fast; particularly if done in the second quarter
because, as the light Of the moon increases, so
does the sap in the tree.
2. Vines, ifpruned when the moon is decreas-
ing in light will not grow nor spread fast
particularly if done during the last quarter, be.
cause the sap decreases with light.
3. Timber cut down when the moon is in
creasing, will soon become rotten, particularly
if she be in her second quarter.
4. Timber cur down when the moon is de-
creasing will last for pears, and the more dur
able it will be ifcut down during the last quae-
ter
s. Peas sown during the moons increase, will
bloom to the last, and will be full and rich in
flavor, still more certain ifsown during the Sec
ond quarter.
6. Peas sown when the moon is decreasing
in light will be just in opposite condition.
Z. The age to which pomegranate will live
depends on the moons age at the time ofplant-
ing; it will live just as many years as the moon
days old.
8. Plants and shrubs shoot up and take little
root, if planted when the moon is decreasing in
light and in the zodiacal signs, Gemini, Libra,
or Aquarious
8. Ifplanted when in the sign of Taurus,
Virgo, or Capricornus, they take deep root and
do not grow tall.

Hamilton County Nominations.

The Democracy OF Hamilton County assem-
bled on Tuesday at Smith s. Nixons Hall by
delegate Convention and nominated full tick
ct. The attendance at the Convention was
large, harmony prevriled and the utmost spirit
and confidence was exhibited. For the State
Senate Thos. NJ. Key, Geo. W. Holmes and z.
A. Ferguson were nominated. For the Board
Of Equalization, DR.. j. L. Waiter, Israel Brown
and J. D. Jones. For Representatives VIM. ].
Flagg, John Schff, Joseph Jonas, Patrick Rog-
ers, J. F. Wright, DR.. VIM. Jones, Vim. Jessup
Treasurer, E. D. Cruikshank Common Pleas
Judge, Isaac c. Collins. County Commission
er, John Ridgway. Director OF Infrmary Sam
uel BENIN.
This ticket is one Of the best that could have
been selected and we look upon that it will lie
elected by a large majority. Judge Key is an
able an excellent man; so is Mr.. Holmes, who
has sat in the Ohio Senate before with great
credit to himself and advantage to the people;
and Mr.. Ferguson is young man OF great abili-
ty, perseverance, and popularity. Mr.. Flagg is
VI A'iCiiOldS WI AAS 10 All
able debater, and his bold defence Unpopular
right in the City Council, has caused him to be
greatly respected among the Germans. Mr..
Schiff is agreat brewer and one Of the best
men that ever rose by enterprise, industry and
strait forward conduct. He represented Ham H.
ton county in the Ohio Legislature some years
ago. Joseph Jonas is gentlemen of the He
brew pursuasion, a good citizen, lifelong
Democrat and an old friSnd of General Jack
sons. Captain Rogers and Mr. Wright were
members of the last house; they are both very
popular men, Messrs. Jones and Jessup are
good men, the former of Sycamore and the lat
ter Of Harrison township. Of men like d..
Yattier it is quite unnecessary to speak. His
name will add largely to the strength Of the
ticket; and Mr.. Collins is Just exactly the man
for the bench Of the Common Pleas. He is
able, accurate, industrious and courteous, and
we are glad that his name is upon the ticket
Some anxiety has been manifested by our friends
in different parts OF the State, that first rate
ticket should be presented by the democracy Of
Old Hamilton. We can assure them that the
one put in nomination IS OF the most able and
unimpeachabe character. 1t is one that good
Democrats will be proud to labor fer, and good
citizens proud to vote for.-- Statesman.

these bonds were lost, the State would eventu-
ally become liable for them, had consented to
allow Gibson, who alone could secure them, to
go to New York, get possession of and return
them to the Treasury. ....,
told Governor Chase that this defalcation
having occurred in the department of the State
Treasury, it was more properly the duty of the
Attorney General to attend to it. That so far
as l could give them any assistance as the pros
ecuting officer of the County, was perfectly
willing to do so that l considered myself a
mere instrument, and our Court mere machine
through which he and the Attorney General
were to act. The Attorney General on his ar
rival in Columbus, appeared before the Grand
Jury from day to day, for some three weeks,
investigating the matter and framed the indict-
ments against both Breslin and Gibson. At
this time Breslin was in Columbus. flares
ted, he could cGhy have been held four days
without hearing before some examining court.
Gibson had receipted in full for all moneys due
him as Treasurer. This was also shown by
books in the treasury department. So that
without the testimony of Gibson against Bres-
lin (who did not return from New York for
some ten or twelve days after this tme) it
would have been utterly impossible for the State
to have made out a prima tacie case against
him, (Breslin.) And any examining Office T
having due regard to this oath, in the face Of
these facts, would have discharged him. The
police Of the city had been and were then,
instructed to see that Breslin did not leave the
city. And an affidavit was prepared upon which
he was to be arrested, should he attemptjto
leave Columbus. Before Gibson's return, and
before the indictments were brought into Court,
Breslin by some means unknown to the officers
made his escape.
II Gibson had been in Columbus at that time
the dcfalcation was made known to the Attor-
ney General and myself he would certainly
have been arrested, as I understood the Alter
ney General to express himself as being in IA
vor of this course. From that time up TO the
present have acted under the direction of the
Attorney General, regarding HIM, as all the
counsel ior the defense in these cases did, as
having the control of she cases.
Mr. Gibson has never, so far as l know, de-
sired trial--nor has the State or Gibson eth
er been prepared for trial at any time. The
witnesses upon whom the State must rely for a
conviction are to be found in almost every State
GrnYo Nauy VorI- 70 M;,pocnto
have always understood both the Attorney
Generalsand Gibson as desiring the cases to be
continued until the Investigating Report of
Messrs. Morgan and others was published
There are other reasons why the cases have not
been tried, which public policy demands should
not be made known at this time.

going to show most conclusively that the great
leading idea Of the Republicans, is the eleva-

enjoy. Let the laboring white men of Ohio
beware in time, and see that they themselves
do not aid in elevating men to posts Of honor
and distinction, who are fully bent upon sys-
TEN which would degrade them and their wives
and children. Let the working white men put
their seal OF disapprobation upon all such
schemes, by the universal rejection of the Re-

loom up their stacks, have thought few lines
from your old friend might be of interest to

Hon. David Tod, at his residence, few days

On Tuesday night the 18th inst, Gov. Chase
Blowed off steam in Amos & Murry's Hall, to
a crowd OF Black Republicans, children, wo-
men and negroes. His speech was a very tame
affair, and little or no interest manifested at Ell
ther his arrival or departure. In the evening
few .quarter-sheet posters were distributed
through town, to tell ye people ye great Gov

the Importance ofnegro rights, and from thence
l believe, to bold Salem, the head quarters Of
black republcanism and negro equality.
From the way things move up in this direc-
ton, have no doubt but that the Democracy
will be triumphat in this section of the State.
Black Republeanism in this part Of the State
has began to tremble, and in their countenances
you can discover sad and melancholy look OF
despair, that fingers in the faint hope of sue
cess. Yet the most of them will readily admit
that it is no go for their party, and they con
sole themselves by damning Gholson and the
State Ticket. From what portions Of the State
have visited, i'll may be allowed to Judge, I
have not the least doubt, that if the Democra-
cy all pull together, that in October next, Black
Rspublcanism will be buriod, beyond the hope
and power of resurrection in the State of Ohio.

OLTDurlng the summer that has just passed
away, thousands of sufferers from dysentery,
and diarrh9a have been relieved by the use OF
Hostetter's Bitters, medicine which is evident
ly destined to maintain permanent place ii
the public estimation. Bilious disrrhea |,
one Of those diseases which battles the skill o,
the physician. The medicine they administer
to act upon the bowels never seem to reach the
source Of the evil. The difficulty is to get o
remedy that will reach oil the digestive organs
and give them simultaneously rush Of vigor,
to rid them OF this disease. This problem is
solved by the Bitters, which never fails to con-
quer the most stubborn cases. 1t is only fair
to say that during the season just closed, this
medicine has achieved more cures than any 9TH
er ever presented to the public, and during the
fall, when that terrible scourge, the fever and
ague, is so prevalent the Btters will gain fresh
fame.

the true principle. Nothing is more preposter.
GUS than to think that, because at the present
time we may be in health, disease will never
overtake us. How many have gone forth to
their business in the morning, and returned be
fore the close of day to lay themselves down
upon beds of sickness, from which they have
not arisen for months. We would remind our
readers that, for a family medicine, nothing can
equal "Kennedy's Medical Discovery" Ofhu-

The Democracy of the Territory of
Nehraska on the Slave Question.

The Democracy of the Territory Of Nebraska,
at their late convention, made the following de-
claration of their views on the slavery question.
They say
"But inasmuch as the legislative power o
the territories extends undeniably to all right
full subjects of legislation, no power can prevent
them from passing usuch laws upon the subject
Of slavery, as to them may seem proper, and
whether such laws when passed be constitution
al or not, can be. finally determined, not by
Congress, but by the Supreme Court on appeal
from the decisions ofthe Territorial courts" 81
The people of the Territories do not like the
doctrine that they can not legislate on slavery
as we'll as on other subjects, and that they are
to be dictated to by outsiders, either IN Con-
gress or in the States,
