has been feared that the next Democratic
convention for the nomination of State OFF,
GERS would be but the puppet of John l.
Robinson, the L. s. Marshal, who viii have
the power to fill it with, or control it
through the Deputy u. S. Marshal, which he
has the power to appoint to take the census
of 1860. Some one has BEEN kind enough
to relieve these fears, by assurances to the
aninitiated through the columns of the State
Sentinel, that Mr.. Robinson is too generous
to do any such thing; his delicacy and sense
of propriety forbid it, Mr.. r. has svowed
his intention TO leave the convention free to
do just as he sVishes them to do. One would
as soon expect TO "see a duck take to water
as to see the modest, the upright, and the
conscientious Robinson assuming to dictate
TO convention. He never does such

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE EXPERIMENT.
The first cable experiment. has not dis
hearted the sanguine, and another is about
to be made. Mr.. Field has gone to London
to engineer the matter, aud it is stated that
others from him announce that the directors
of the A tlantic Telegraph Company are ac-
lively al work maturing their plans to have
the enterprise of uniting the continents by
telegraph carried out in the most permanent
aud successful manner. An attempt will
be made to raise the old cable, with view
to discover the cause of the break in the
continuity. The success of this is doubtful I;
but the 6nai establishment of talking line
between Europe and America is among those
things which know no such word as fail.

Why the Governor should be usurping
the Treasurer's functions, and drawing
these sums from the national treasury, the
report does not explain. At the extra sess-
ion, when the first discovery of these trans
actions was made by the committee, the
Treasurer stoutly denied that the sums had
ever besn paid over to him. After an in
terval Of some weeks and many eonsnlta-
tons with the Governor, he was brought, on
the 9th of January, 1853, to a faint recol-
lection that he had received all but 81, 900,
and had given the Governor INFORMAL re-
ceipts therefor, but had never entered the
money on the books Of the Treasury. After
this laborious recovery Of the recollection OF
the money, he could not, when asked, show
what had bean done with 10, or how he
had settled his accounts weekly without in
GLIDING it.
The belief was, that after the discovery
that the Governor had obtained the money
it wss, by hocus pocus arrangement, plac
Cd alphabetically IN the Treasury, ana a
she same time hypothetical loan made tC
the Governor by the Treasurer, AS part o
the State money used by him in discOuntinl
paper on his private account. If these sus
-picions be well founded, and the money b
not yet paid by Willard, there will be il
the Treasurers future reports defalcatiol
that would have brought the parties unde
the operation Of the vetoed law, had th
Constitution given the Legislature time t
have re-enacted it. This transaction show
the reckless disregard of law that prevail
in decentralization Of the States finance.
This money is taken by the Governor i
1887, and no record whatever made of
foreighteen months, and perhaps none woul
ever have appeared of it, had not a troubl,

The Aruistice.

Letters from the best informed sources in
London express the opinion that the arris-
tice proposed by Napoleon is only Q tempo
ry diplomatic arrangement to enable him to
gain time aud concentrate his forces. One
etter says the news in London is Interpreted
as a sign of peace. But'the writer says.
Just the same way as predicted in Janu-
airy, what nobody believed, that the war in
Italy had become Irresistible, now again
maintain, that TIE truce 9M not lead 10
Qsace. Napoleon has solemnly declared
that he must continue the war until the in
dependence of Italy is secured from the Alps
to the Adriatic, and I know from persons
who saw him three days before the truce,
that he is still bent upon complete suprem-
acy. ....... -
Accordingly, if Austria should even con-
sent to abandon Lombardy, he will insist
upon her withdrawal from Venice, and this
concession cannotyet be palatable to Francis
Joseph, though he has been terribly fright
ened by French occupation of Lussin and
Chesso, next door to Fiume and Zung. II
Is true the Austrian army is demoralized,
that the Emperor wept at Fowl on account
of the disastrous retire /. that Hungary is
on. the brink Of insure lion, and that 30
hernia and Tyrol are disafected.
Still he cannot yet make peace unless
he should make up his mind not only to dis
miss all his present ministers, but to stultify
himself His declaring war in Hungary in
ls48 and 40, and all his system Of govern
ment since that time, has been a terrible mis-
take.
To make concessions to the Italians,
would not now be of any avail, but would
excite all the malcontents of the Empire to
the boldest steps, and would earn for HIM
the contempt of Germany. The Austrian
army is not yet sufficiently beaten, and the,
enthusiasm Of the German officers has not
yet cooled down to that extent as TO make
the surrender of Venice necessary; and Ma
poleon, unless defeated or forced by an Eu-
ropean mediation, will not make peace un-
der conditions excluding the independence
of Italy beyond the Mincio. Such being
the case, we may safely infer that the pres
ent truce viii not lead to any more serious
results than an exchange of prisoners. The
Hungarian battalions at Agui, in Piedmont,
have been considerably increased innumbers
by the last battles.
There are now four thousand men under
arms, equipped and Differed In the same
way as in ls49, gathering around the Hun
garian flag Still it is not probable they
viii soon have an opportunity to take the
field. They are only organizing under the
eyes of Kossuth, who at the present mo-
ment is in Turin, after having made trip
to Parma and Valleggio, where he had inter-
views with Napoleon The diplomatists
| watch his movements with most intense at
tention, aud Lord John Russell, has already
warned the French Government not to ally
itself with these revolutionary movements,
lest Prussia should be forced to declare war
Prussia, however, has no great eagerness to
invade France.

EI- The of6ce-holding regency and the
Bank party are beginning to manifest their
opposition to the call of Constitutional
Convention, through the usual instruments
Of their schemes. They begin by their
agents and strikers in conventions in coun-
ties where such meetings as can be controll-
ed and made the organs of the wire-pullers
are easily assembled. Last week the farce
was opened in Harrison county, where the
following reaolu.io.! was passed to order:
Rssoired, r.. :: Ca avoid excessive taxa
ton, and prom, te fua.l,c morality, we hold
it to be the duty VI the Government-na
tional, State, county. and township-to use
the most rigid economy in The administers
ton of these several departments, and,
therefore, for these amongst other good rea-
sons, we are opposed to the Republican
scheme of calling another convention, at a
cost of not less than Sl0C, 900, to amend the
constitution of Indiana
Would there not have been a good deal
more sense in the declaration, to have said
thar to avoid heavy taxation and to promote
public morality, we hold it to be the duty
of all good citizens to unite to put stop to
official peculation and corruption-to do
away an odious monopoly-to restore to the
people the right to manage their municipal
institutions in their own way While the
State Treasurer and Auditor are presumed
to be putting into their pockets $780, 900 per
annum in illegal perquisites from the public
funds, and other State officers are pocketing
larger amounts in a similar way, not one
word is said about these abuses, but e hue
and cry is made about the costs of a conven-
ton that may, possibly, provide a check to
public frauds, and restore to the people the
privileges of municipal self-goFernment.

Willard of ever having had the money in

had had such committee as is usually ap-
pointed, would the abstractionof the money
have been discovered If it had escaped the
last Legislature, is it likely the Legislature
of 1861 would have found it out. Would
the State have been safe in relying upon the
scrupulous conscientiousness of Willard to
have refunded it, when there were no records
against him. There is one thousand dollars
Of this swamp land money, which, it is not
dretended, wasevcr repaid, alphabetically or
really. This sum is probably retained as
commissions for receiving and keeping the
larger sum. al
This exposition is only specimen of the
manner in which the States finances ere
managed at Indianapolis We shall recur
to the report on another day. Is it strange
that such clique who band together to gain
possession of the State Government, to use
its funds and fatten upon its treasury, should
oppose revision of the constitution that
would restore the annual sessions of the
Legislature, and subject their operations to
strict annual investigations. Two years is
an interval in which much is forgotten, and
a great deal can be buried up by succeeding
accumulations Annual sessions are oppos-
ed on the ground of expense, but the Legis-
lature is a wretchedly inefficient body that
could not save the State twice its expenses
by ventilating the records of the Treasury
once year while il is under the control of
such men as are likely to be placed in charge
of it by the mercenary leaders of political
parties, who, by turns, get possession of the
government of the State. (s-l f.

CoLUNBus, Tuesday, April 10, 1859.
To one who is confined to city life, a trip to
the country is at all times refreshing, and par
ticularly so at this season of the year, when
spring is opening m all its lovelness. This
morning we took the eight o'clock train from
the Little Miami Depot, that gentlemanly and
obliging conductor, Cole, in charge. When
fairly under way, we procured what we OBJ
served to be the popular dccompanin'ents to
traveller, 1. e., a copy of the Daily Press and
quarter box of Hays Maple Wax candy. We
soon found ourselves teeming at rapid rate up
the beautiful valley Of the Little Miami. We
observed the farmers oil along the route have
much to encourage them. The wheat crop
never looked better-tho ground is in fine order,
and We observed many farmers engaged in
plowing, preparatory to putting in their spring
crops. Fruit of all kinds gives promise of an
abundant crop. This Capital City, since the
adjournment Of the Legislature, If as dull as
a political speech after election. There is some
little stir about the State House, which is still
in an unfinished condition, and promises, with
its twin sister the artesian peH, to be, to the
x-payers, an everlasting bore. y. X.

had been quite contest, and the government
troops were compelled to retreat. Puerto Ca

ASSAULT, ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED HoMI-

party of fellows went into the Secondhand
House, on Fifth street, near Race, and got
into dispute in regard to one-dollsr bill,

while standing in the door, he was struck
from behind with a slung-shot by some
one who, at the same time, caught at his

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The State Depart
meut is in receipt Of voluminous dispatches from
Commissioner Bowlin concerning Paraguay af-
fairs.
The winnebago delegation of Indians yes
terday buried, with impressive ceremonies, their
prophet and orator, the most prominent man
in the tribe.
Judging from certain indications, the news
from Nicaragua is not of such character as
will alter the alleged policy of the Admins
tion concerning that Republic.
Much interest is manifested in diplomatic
quarters in regard to the subject.
1t is stated that Gen. Juarez will return to
Nicaragua on the 9th of May.
The amendment to the Cass Yrissari Treaty
provides that the United States shall engage
to use due vigilance and all lawful means to
prevent the organization of hostile parties in
this country intended for the invasion Of Nicar-
| aqua.
While some prominent gentlemen look upon
| this as q reflection on our good faith in carry
| ing out the Neutrality Laws, and as unneces-
sary, others are disposed to regard the ratiica-
ton as an evidence of the disposition of Nicar-
| aqua to cultivate friendly relations. Slight as
| is the amendment it is not certain it will be
acceptable to the administration, which has
not given it due consideration. With regard
| to the efforts of the British authorities to re-
| move the obstacles to the Clayton -Bulwel
| Treaty, present appearances, if not assurances
| are such as not to change the belief that ther'
will be favorable solution of the question.
1t has heretofore been confidently stated tina
| the Paraguay feet had been ordered to Centra
| America, but such does not now seem to b
probable, although several of the vessels viii
be sent to the Gulf, when they shall again b
| put in commission. Iii considered that Their
| is sufficient force in Central America for al
practical purposes.
