A coterie of politicians, yclept "the Repub-
Iican National Committee'' met at Albany
New York. few days ago, under the eye, of
one THURLow WEED, to consult on the best
mode of electing free-soil president for the
United States in 1860. They have published
circular containing the conclusions at
which they arrived which We may have
occasion to notice hereafter. In the mean
time we wish to enquire who is Mr.. o. N.
ScHooLFIEID, who appears as the member of
said National Committee, hailing from the
State of Tennessee? IF there is a man, wO-
man or child in the State having any knowl
edge of the individual in question, we hope
they will furnish us with it. We are impa-
tent to know who Mr.. SCHooLFIELD is; we
cannot get along without knowing; we must
know-will Mr.. SCHooLFIELD himself o6lige
us by telling us something about himself

John NJ. Bott..

A writer in the New York Express gives
the following particulars of the early life of
Mr.. JoHN NJ. BORIS:
Hon. John Minor Bolts was born in
Dumfries, Prince William County. (Va.l on
the 18th of September, 1902. His father was

of the celebrated Aaron Burr. in his trial for
treason, by which he acquired reputation
that ranked him among the most eminent
lawyers of the country. when but thirty years
of age. On the 26th of December. 1911, Mr..
Bolts lost both his parents in the memorable
confiagratisn of the Richmond theatre; and
from chat period, though but nine years old,
he was lett to his own care. He acquired
knowledge of Greek. Latin, French, and
Mathematics from the different schools he at
tended until the age of eighteen when be was
licensed To practice law. He studied the
profession entirely under bis own direction
and was admitted, upon most rigid examin
alton. after six weeks application.
% We know of but one parallel to this, anC
that was the case of Patrick Henry. who wa:
admitted to the bar after six weeks study
He practiced for six years in Richmond but
dissatisfied with the confinement it imposed
he purchased a farm in the county OF Henri
co in 1928, and. turning his attention to agri
culture, produced the largest crops, acre fol
acre, OF any individual in that county.
Mr.. Bolts made the twelfth anti Jackson
man in Henrico in 1928; but. formidable al
were the opposition, he resolved to revolu
tIonize it. The result was that in 1888 he
was elected as the Wing representative to the
State Legislature, to which position he wa'
successfully reelected dntil 1889. That veal
he received the nomination OF his party tC
Congress i'll a district which had never
elected any other than a Democrat since Johr
Marshall, the Chief Justice of the United
States, had represented it,"

STEPHEN A. DOUGLAs.-The editor of the
Savannah Republican, writing from Boston, on
visit, says Il met to-day at the Revere
House, 4 personal acquaintance and friend of
Judge DOUGLAS they live in the same town;
and tells me that DOUGLAS is hound to be be-
fore the Charleston Convention, and will
satisfy everybody of his soundness as Demo-
crat. He says that in Illinois DOUGLAS is very
much loved and respected, and that if be
we're to visit the South he would sweep every
thing before him."
And, having satisfied everybody of his
soundness as a democrat" what more is
necessary to secure his nomination? We
reckon this is to be the result of the Charleston
Congress of office-holders and ofIice-hunters
But what will the people say? Won't they
prefer john BELL when tue question is sub
mitted TO them?

Es-Mr E. W. COLE, Superintendent on
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad,
went to Fayetteville with the Nashville dele
cation, and was obliging in his attention to
them. We are much gratifed TO find that he
is regarded as very efficient officer. He
has introduced a system of management of
his subordinates which has so far resulted in
great advantage 20 the road, there being
more regularity in the movements of trains,
and an almost entire absence of accidents.
We trust he may be able to continue improve
ments. He has the energy and the intelli-
gence TO accomplish much more, and we are
confident he will do it.

patriots like Garibaldi more than upon

former has the intelligence to see, and the
honesty to admit, that Louis Napoleon has
been the true friend to Italy. 1t was at first
rumored that he was dissatisfied wiz Ine

to abide by them would conduct guerilla
war. So far from this being correct, be has

the embraces of those who are dear to you,
the gratitude tchich are ore TO Napoleon and 10 the
heroic French nation whose brave sons, wounded

Gas-We find in our exchanges two pleasant
stories of the sayings of children. The Rome
Sentinel relates that three year-old girl ac-
companied her father upon visit to her grand
parent in the country, where a blessing is
invoked by the white haired patriarch before
each meal. The custom was one with which
our little friend had not been made familiar
at home, and of course on the first occasion
she was silent with interest and curious
watchfulness But when the family had gath
cred around the second time after the COM
mencement of her visit. she was prepared for
the preliminary religious ceremony, and OBJ
serving that her father did not seem duly
conscious of the approaching solemnity, she
called him to order by saying with stern
gravity: BE still, r'opa-g randpapa's going to
talk 10 his plate pretty soon = This recalls to
another person a similar answer that occur
red in his family short time since. His
father-in-law, professor of religion. paid him
a visit in the country, and, as is his invaria-
bic custom on the Sabbath, invoked the d.
vine blessing at the table. After his depart
ure, and at the next meal, the persons little
daughter. aged five years, just as he was in
the act of carving, interrupted the further
proceedings and threw the occupants of the
