choas-PIaYlng win I,Eorphy.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Press
writes as follows from New York on the
members of the Chess Club in that city:
A fine set of hcadstruly! THERE'S young
Lichtcnhcip, the strongest player here, to
whom, it is said, even Morphy cannot give
the odds of knight; thIck-set fellow, with
a twinkle about the eye. There is Thomp-
son who won three games, and drew one in
a contest with Morph the latter giving
the knight, and winning FIVE. Thompson
is the patriarch Of the club, and his head,
face, hair, beard and eyebrows, are rs white
as the paper on which l write. There is
Perrin who answers the idea one might
have of Andcrsen's personnel, and Mar.
ache with n face you at once like; and Col
Mead, the digl6ed and gentlemaDly Presi'
dent. And now in walks Fiskc, the chess
literary man, and antiquarian, who does
not play much but edits tho Chess Monthly
with great ability, and with him, as suro as
you live, a certain Creole boy with a soft
eye and unbcsrdcd check, whom you see al
once is Morphy.
When one plays with Morphy the sensa'
tion is IS queer as the first electric shock, oI
first love, or chloroform, or any entirely
novel experience. As you sit down at the
board opposite him, a certain sheepishnes'
steals over you, and you cannot rid yourself
of an old fable in which lions skin plays
n part. There you aro sure you have the
advantage: you seem to be securc--you
get a rook-you are ahead two pieces
three!! Gently, as if waited by zephyl
the pieces glide about the bnard, and pres
emily as you arc about TO win the game, q
soft voice in your ear kindly insinuates
MArE!!! You are speechless. Again and
again you try; again and again you are sure
you must win; and again your prodigal an
tagonist leaves his pieces at your mercy
but his moves are as the steps of Fate
Then you arc charmed all along--so bewitch
ingly are you beheaded; one had rather bt
run through by Bayard, you know, than b.
spared by pretender. On the whole
could only remember the oriental aneedott
Of one who was taken to the banks Of thu
Euphrates, where by princely host he wa
led about the magnifcentgardens and how
ers, then asked if anything could be more
beautiful ayes" replied he, "the Ches
play Of FL Zuli." So having lately sailed
as wrote you, down the Hudson, having
explored Staten Island, Hoboken, Fort Ham
ilton and all the glorious retreats abou
New York, shall say forever that on
thing il more beautiful than them all,--th'
Chess play Of Paul Morphy. NoMAD.

tionment Of delegates one for each 2ss
votes. At that time Leavenworth county
embraced what Is now Wyandott county.
The spportionment was made and Wynn-
dott county vas allowed two, and Lcavcn-
worth county 2 delegates, but by some fraud,
the bill which received tho signatufeof the
Governor and became the law, did not in
clude Wyandott county but instead, gave
to Leavenworth county ten delegates, one
more than Wyandott and Leavenworth to-
geihcr were entitled to. The Leavenwotth
Delegation, (ten Democrats used every pos
siblc means to effect the passage Of the
above resolution, Of course as a matter of
policy, thereby strengthening the demo
cratic vote in the Convention, and by es-
tablishing precedent throwing tho doors
wide open to receive the delegation from
Nebraska consisting of 10 democrats. Tho
resolution after having been repeatedly
called tip, and rs often referred 10 commit
tees, or laid upon the table, was this morn
ing defeated by vote Of 33 Republicans
against ! 8 Democrats, members absent.
have said that on tho first day Of the
session the above vexed question WAS laid
on the table. Tho Convention then pro.
cccded to a permanent organization. The
roll being called tho following members
were found absent Brown, Of Leaven.
worth, Palmer, Of Potawatomie, Porter and
Wiglcy, Of Donphan, and Moore, of jackson.
The vote for permanent president was
Winchell, Rep, SO; Barton, DEM, is; for
Secretary, Martin, Rep, SO; Spencer, DEM,
Is. Warren, Rep, was chosen Sergeantat
Arms by acclamation. The delegates were
oil sworn to support the Constitution ofthc
United States, and 10 we'll and faithfully
perform their duties. Rev. w. r. Davis. of
Douglas county was chosen Chaplain, each
session of the Convention is opened with
prayer.
Reports from Southern Kansas speak in
worry flatteriug terms of the crops, the wheat
is all harvested and is generally very good,
though some fields have been slightly affect.
ed by the rust. Corn looks very fine, rs is
the case with oats potatoes. and othercrops.
| had almost forgotten to notice the fact
that Mrs. Nichols who has for some time
been lecruring through the Territory is in
town with n petition numerously signed by
the ladies Of Kansas which she proposes to
lay before the Convention. Asl understand
it, the petition cmhodies the principles oi
womau's rights as laid down in platforms
adopted hy their numerous conventions
Mrs. Nichols occupies an honorary seat ii
the Constitutional Convention here.
The Kansas Valley R. R. Co. have com
pleted their organization. The President
Directors and minor officers have been cho
sen. More than tho necessary percentage
of the capital stock as required by law ha.
been subscribed and paid in, and they vii
commence operations Immediately. Th,
prospects now arc that he first Railroad il
the Territory will start from Wyandott.

~ SIR EDwARD BULwER LYTroS.
Fresh giIdes the brook and blowsthe gale,
Yet yonde, hAlts the MILL,
The whirling wheel, the rushing sail,
How northumberland still
SIX days Of toll, poor child ofcaln,
Thy strength the alavs Of sant may bs,
The seventh thy limbs cacape the chain--
Aud God hath made thee free,
Al, tender was the law that gave
This holy respite 10 shv brvnst;
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave;
And now Thy wheel may rest.
Batwhere the waves the gentiess glide
What image charms to lift thine sJSsl
The sprlte reflected on the tide
Invites thee to the skies.
70 teach thy soul Us pcblur worth.
Tllls rest from mortal toll is giysnt
Co, snatch the brief reprieve from earth,
And pass guest to heaven.
They tell thee In their dreaming sehepi.
of fpo~er from old dominion hurled.
When rich and poor With juater rule,
Shall share the altered world.
AlAsi since time itself began
That Cable hath but fsoled the hoar,
Each sge that ripens power In mAn,
But subjects man to power.
Yet IN one day In seven at least
One bright republic shall be known;
Asa's world awhile hath surely ceased
whcn Cod proelaims Ills ownl
SIX days mar rarh divide tho poor, .-
Oh, Dlvsst from the banquet hall.
The sevsnth--ths father opss the door,
And holds his feast for all.
