Our July acknowledgement Loan.

We take pleasure in stating that the Ohio
Fund Commissioners started for New York
yesterday, with the comfortable sum of fire
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in their
pockets, with which to pay the July interest
on our public debt, and also to redeem the
balance of the temporary loan which will be
due on the lst of July. Of the temporary
loan Of seven hundred thousand dollars, one
half or three hundred and fifty thousand will
be due on the first proximo; and the other
half in March, 1861. The Commissioners
have bought in about two hundred and thirty
thousand dollars of the amount due in July,
before its maturity, thus saving the State the
interest on t. The balance Of one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars will be ready
for the stockholders on the 1st July.
The prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this amount of money is collected from
the County Treasurers before the time Of
their settlement, and converted into Eastern
Exchange, reflects great credit ou the busi-
mes tact and energy Of our very able Treasu-
rer, Hon. A. P. Stone. The drafts upon the
County Treasurers are drawn by the Comp
troller, and passed to the Treasurer. These
drafts are not payable till the Goth June
So that there are only ten days in which to
collect them and to convert them into East
ern Exchange, and have that exchange in
New York. In this work our Ohio Banks
are Of essential service. 1t is very much to
the credit also Of our County Treasurers, that
they so promptly meet the demands upon
them. All parties and classes in Ohio, we
are proud to say, manifest an equal desire to
keep our credit good by a prompt and manly
alacrity in all their acts connected with the
public faith. This is as it should be. Ohio
has never for a moment faltered or failed to
meet her principal and interest when due

Hon. David Tod and the Rump.

It was not inappropriate that the Teritable
David Tod of this State, who excited such
universal indignation among workingmen
last winter by the bill proposed by him for
regulating the relations of capital and labor,
should have presided at the nomination of
Douglas and Fitz-Johnson. The Washington
Star thus notices Mr.. Tod's presiding exploits,
and the closing scenes Of the Rump Con-
vention: -.
Mr.. Tod, who at once stepped into the po-
sition vacated by President Cushing, evident
ly gentleman of right intentions proved
wholly unequal to the task It was plain
from the start that the Rump entertained as
little respect for him as for itself; for, thou Oh
the authority of President Cushing had pre-
viously always been obeyed most remarkably,
that of Mr.. I. was as abortive ofresults other
than to increase the confusion and the rule
Of brute force as an attempt on his part
to exercise similar authority over as many
drunken Camanches would have been. We
traced in the tone of the proceedings here de-
scribed pslpable evidence that the great body
Of those participating in them felt, at the time,
the full force of the conviction that they were
only ''playing-and smashing up things. =
That they were well aware that they could
not hope to give their nominee a single cleo
tOral vote IN November next. The madness
that ruled the hour was evidently the mad
ness Of desperation-that of scorpions sting
ing themselves to death on finding themselves
surrounded by fire. Desperate political
gamesters that they were, they realized then
and there that they had staked all upon a
truculent stocking Of the cards, and had lost
every count in the game at that.

The Spring in Europe was the coldest and
stormisgt on record for long time The first
of June the weather in Paris was like March,
and so inclement as 10 cause some fears for
the growing crops. A remarkable snow storm
occurred all over the North of England on the
2sth Of May. The snow fell in many parts
Of the North of Yorkshire to the depth of six
feet. English papers state that thesheep had
generally been shOrn, and the destruction
among the hOcks was very great The wind
did much damage to buildings trees, &c. It
is said to have been the heaviest snow storm
on record 50 late as the 2sth ofMay.

MichiGun DemOcracys--Gen. Cass usulred.
Michigan Democracy has gone to seed and
is dying out. It had just vitality enough left
to hold a State Convention at Detroit on the
2sth, and nominate an old fogy ticket with
John S.Barry at its head for Governor, who,
a quarter Of century ago, made tOlerable
good candidate but has long since become
fossilized. The young Democracy, if any ex-
lists where party has run down so rapidly as
the Democratic in Michigan, was effectually
crushed out and very properly 50, by Con-
vention which endorsed those newly-born
Conservatives and Union-savers, Douglas and
johnson.
Gen, Lewis Cass, Secretary of State, and
the father of Michigan Democracy, arrived at
Detroit on Wednesday, to remain for several
weeks at his old home. He had been absent
three years in discharging the duties pertain
ing to the second position in the civil service
Of the country. A delegate in the Demo-
cratic Convention offered resolution invi-
viting Gen. Cass, as had been before done at
State Conventions, to visit the Convention
and addyess the delegates It was laid on
the table by an almost unanimous vote, and
on subsequent motion to call it up, only
about dozen members sustained it Was
ever an old Statesman so wounded in the
house Of his friends2" The insult could not
have been more direct, deliberate and dis
graceful, and must reco1 on the Douglas
doughfaees.
We have no sympathy with Gen. Cass polit-

party, its last kick in Michigan should not
have been in the face of the venerable half
century leader.

DesrrOyins the Cherry or Pear Treo sluE.

We have tried all sorts Of ways for destroy
ing the slug SO injurious to the leaves of the
cherry, pear, ounce, hawthorn, and noun
tain ash. The sprinkling of air-slacked lime
or dry wood ashes over the foliage is admit
ted to be the best but throwing it BY hand
over the branches, is a slow and rather dirty
operation; and If lime is used, it gets into
your lungs and chokes you; besides, the ex-
treme branches can seldom be reached. The
following way is the easiest and most eff
icient: Get a thin muslin bag, large enough
to hold half apeek; fill it with the lime; tie
the mouth Of the bag tight, and fasten to the
end Of a long pole, I'VE use a cane fish pole,
with the tip cut off, The tops Of the trees
are easily reached with this. Give the bag a
Jerk. and enough lime will come through the
muslin to cover the foliage. A tree can be
gone over in this way ina few minutes with
out making your clothes like that Of mil
ler, and filing your eyes and nose with the
dust There Is also great saving Of lime
