Deputy Marshal J. X. Lowe, of Columbus,
has not only brought suit against Judge Car
penter of Summit, and Professors Peck and
Farchild of Oberlin, for false imprisonment
but has included in his petition filed in the Su'
perior Court of Franklin County, contain other
good citizens of Lorain, as follows :-Wm. A

Turner Roswell g. Horr and W E Burr, who
are char ed with having "procured plaintiff to
be arrested upon said charge OF kidnapping" p"
and of having 'coruptly and wickedly and mali
ciously conspired aud agreed with each other to
unlawfully imprison plaintiff and deprive him
of his liberty" to his damage in the modest
sum of $50 600, ''for which sum he asks judg-
msnt and other proper relief" The State
Journal publishes the petition" and pertinent
ly remarks:
Would it not be proper if the aforesaid Lowe
had also stated ia this document the agreement
by which he was released rom his unpleasant
predicament, so that the public can see whether
he violated that as soon as he had saved his
baconl
He lays his damages at S2O,OOO It seems
like a larue price for him We think there is
a safe criterion in this matter. Let the juGy
compare him aud the negro John that he was
indicted for kidnapping, and estimate the diff.
ference in value. Then take the amount Lowe
received for the liberty Of John, and either add
or subtract the difference, according as the jury
shall decide which way the variation is, and the
quotlent will be the value of the liberty of the
Deputy Marshal, according to bis own estimate
of the value OF a man.

Very many of our citizens have admired the
design of the beautiful and exceedingly appro-
pirate Monument to Com Perry to be seen in
Mr. Sargeants window, designed by Mr.. 7. D.
JONES, the distinguished Sculptor. On the
10th of September next the corner stone of the
Monument is to be laid on the small island Of
Gibralter, one of the group of the Putin. n.Bay
Islands, the rendezvous Of Perry's feet, and
the burial place of his dead. The total expense
Of the column is estimated at $4,000. The
design is naval column, l6O feet high. The
point of location on Gibralter is 40 feet above
the water, making the whole height of the col
umn above the level of the Lake 200 feet.
The Grand Lodge o. the Masons Of Ohio have
in charge the laying of the corner stone, and
the Military of this and adjoining States will
assist. The corner stone will be laid by Horace
NJ Stokes, NJ. W Grand Master. An address
will be delivered commemorative Of the occa
sioD and large concourse of people will be
present. 1t will be the gala day Of the Lakes
and the lovely waters of Putin.Bay will pre-
sent the most magnificent aquatic as well as
civic and military display, ever witnessed on
the Mediterraneans of the New World.

The Courier says:

"The possibility is, that there will be buying
and selling of votes in the Charleston Conven-
tion to be paid for by executive patronage. If
such shall be the fact, and the Douglas men do
buying and selling enough to nominate the
Little Giant, we do lat think the South would
stand the operation. The probability is, that
the uthern States in that event, would call
another convention and make another nomina.
ton. This state Of things might throw the
election Of the next President into the House,
and the South, with her one hundred and sew
teen votes, against the North, with her one hun
dre and eighty. six votes, to be divided out
between Douglas and some other Northern
| candidate"
The Courier considers that Mr.. Douglas does
not hold himself bound to support the Charles
ton nomination, but that he will get the nomi-
nation if he can, and if ho can't get it will
make an independent race The Courier con-
cludes:
IT, therefore, the country should be so unfor-
tunate as to ha Douglas and two or three
other candidates thrust upon it, either by the
trickery of the Charleston Convention, or by
the disorganzug and Independent action Of the
Little Giant, Mr.. Douglas viii not get the vote
of a single Southern State in the electoral col
lege of 1860, and will have to contend with
some ether Northern man for what he can get
of the ls6 votes parcel6d out as follows in the

The Louisville Courier enters into a calcula-
ton to show that it will be impossible for Doug
las to receive the nomination of the Democratic
party, 40 Charleston, for the Presidency. The
basis Of its calculation is, that no man can be
nominated there without the consent Of the
South The old twothirds rrle, it takes for
ranted, will be maintained, and under it the
united South can slaughter whom it pleases, in
defiance Of the majority from the North. The
whole number Of electoral votes being 2O3,
the Convention will consist Of twice that num-
Der, or COG, Under the two thirds rule, 4O4

Dark side of the mining Picture.

letter in the Rockford Register from Mr..
Il. G. lark, brother Of the editor and who is
a respectable and reliable man, dated Rock
Mountain Valley, July gath, presents a gloomy
prospect for miners generally, and a Cleveland
Company inpartlcular His company were to
leave the next day for home, and Mr. G. states
that hundreds are leaving every day, aud as
many more coming in. Of the diggings, wa
ges, and prospects be writes
! That there is gold here, and in large quanti-
ties l do not deny; but that more than one in
! five hundred is doing better than a common
day-aborer in the States is untrue Some say
one in thousand is a fair average.
There are three kinds OF dggings here, viz
lead, gulch and bar. The leads are in the
rocks on the mountains. They are found by
the blossom Rock" as it is called or burned
stone on the surface, occasoned, as is supposed
by internal heat or volcanic action Of some ear
Iier day, which opened the rock, forming a
seam now full of dirt or rotten stone, in which
tho gold is found, Gregory's lead has only the
dour gold, and they are or were the richest
| found. These leads commence at the foot OF
the mountain and run in north eastern and
southwestern direction. The dirt has TO be
washed, which requires considerable water, and
| AL Jne water Is produced OF snow as " ultlls,
and that is nearly used up. Besides this, for
some cause, these leads have nearly ceased TO
be profitable, or, as they say, "lose the pay
dirt"
Some have dug eighteen or twenty feet in
solid rock and have not found the object of their
search Claims that once sold for $4,000 can
now be bought for s OOO A company from
Cleveland, Ohio, clmped near US and purchased
one Of these claims, paying down all they had,
even to guns and most of their provisions.
They worked it nearly four weeks without
one cent of pay dirt, when one of their compa-
ny was nearly killed by the unexpected eXplo-
sion of a blast. What will become of them God
only knows.
Wages here are only $3.50 per day, and il
costs at least s / per day for board, and work is
very scarce OF that Gulch diggiugs are those
located in sloughs at the foot Of the mountains
They cannot be worked when the water is high
and when it is dry they have none. They have
paid we'll when they could be worked
| Tie bar dggings are on the banks of creeks
and are nearly forsaken at present. 1t requires
two or three months to open lead, and it may
pay when opened, but no certainty of it, There
are a great many sick in the mountains-live
died yesterday, and four the day previous, in
our vicinity, of the mountain fever. Our com
pany have been sick, all of u.s. during the past
two weeks.

In that event, either Chase or some better
Black Republican than Douglas will get more
OF these 1856 votes than the Little Giant. We
don't think, therefore, that Douglas stands any
chance for the Presidency in 1860 He will, in
our opinion, be beaten in Charleston. If not
deieoted there, he will be repudiated by the
people And if neither the defeat at Charles
ton nor the repudiation of the people ends him,
he will be finished in the House if the election

The DeInwaIe NaiIroad Cases.

The Delaware Railroad Cases.
The cases which have so long been pending
in the Courts of Delaware County, in which
Jacob Terry and wife were plaintiffs, and the
Cleveland Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad
Company defendant, have been disposed Of by
a compromise, effected after four or five days
had been spent in hearing one Of the cases,
and just before it was about to be given to the
jury-the plaintiffs accepting proposition
that had been made previous to the commence.
ment of the trial, whereby the Company agreed
Oh the abandonment of both suits, to give the
plaintiffs $4,000 and pay all costs. The Ca
zette says
The actions grew out of injuries received by
Mrs. Terry some years since by being struck
by locomotive while attempting to cross the
road ahead Of passing express train, the ordl-
nary running time of which was about thirty
miles per hour. The plaintiffs charged that
the accident was solely attributable to careless
ness on the part of the employees Of the Com
pany-while the defendants claimed that Mrs.
I. was in fault in being on tue track at the time
aud under the circumstances, which precluded
| her light to recover damages for injury sus
tanned. Both cases had several times been
tried, and heavy verdicts against the Company
rendered in each-the last verdicts being S6 900
in one case and $4,000 in the other The pres
eut case had been remanded back for trial by
the Supreme Court on the ground that the
verdict unwarranted by the law aud the
evidence-and the decision of that Court, as
well as the ruling of the lower Courts having
been to the effect that fault on the part of Mrs.
7. destroyed her right to recover, the Company
had the decided advantage, having the law on
their side, which IN the end must have tri-
umphed over the humane influences which had
resulted in the verdicts referred to. Indeed, it
is known that in the present case there would
either have been verdict for defendant or
failure TO agree. Under these circumstances
the adjustment was judicious and proper; and
considering the feeling that had been engender-
ed by the protracted struggle, and the fact that
! they had the decided advantage as matters
stood, the action of the Company in making
the offer they did was liberal and generous, and
at the same time politic-for great deal of
sympathy for the injured lady was felt by all
familiar with the case, nd an ilhberal and ex-
acting course on their part would have found
no defenders in this county. Counsel on both
sides acquitted themselves with great credit
| throughout the entire contest.
