The announcement that ABRAHAM LIN

small amount of anxiety - curiosity t,

ever thfonged the noble edifce. The large
Hall was quickly filled when the door,
were opened and before the hour Of com
mencing was densely packed in every part
AT quarter to 8 o'clock, the chair wa
taken by IN. CULLEN BRYANT name al
mSntloll Of which every American hear
swells with pleasure and pride. who intro
duced the Hon. ABRAHAM LINCOLN to the
vast audience. He was received with the
greatest enthusiasm. Taking for his text
an extract from speech by Senator Dou-
glas to the effect that the .1ramers Of the
Constitution understood that document as
well if not better than we do now" he pro
lceeded to demolish "Squatter Sovereignty,
| in manner that was interrupted repeated
" with loud and long continued applause
He showed that the trainers never under
stood any such doctrine az Senator Douglas
advocates, to be in the constitution; while
his wit and irony carried everything before
him. The Tribune well says, s.no public
man since the days of Webster and Clay
ever had such a reception as ABRAHAM
LINCOLN" and adds that the words only
can be reported, which will give but poor
idea Of the speech without the manner.
The Hudson is open and trade has revi-

lseipts are now large and operations heavy

MEMO MINEE INDIANS Ar WASHINGTON
THEY PRESENT THE CALUMET OF
PEACE To HON. q. q. NAshBURN.

The Indians having learned that 10000
Of their money had been paid IN 81 to one
w. R. Thompson to be used for carrying
the Indiana election for democracy; and
our legislature having passed memorial
asking Congress to investigate such frauds,
the poor cheated Indians sent a delegation
to Washington to see about matters. The
democracy undertook to play the hypocrit'
and pow-wow around them as usual, bui
the Indians saw with new eyes. They accor
dinghy waited on DooIittle and Durkee witt
their petitions. Poor Larabee meddled bui
they spurned him. They applied for Cyl
rus Woodman Of Mineral Point to be ap-
pointed their agent, but Mr.. Larraoee objec
ted and asked for the appointment Of G. D
Robinson Of Green Bay. Tie Indians dis
sented; they wished moi ning further to dc
with any democrat. The Wisconsin mem
mers then, with he exception Of Larrabee
recommended either j. O. Howe Of Greer
Bay, G. NJ. Baker Of Walworth or J. Allen
Barber Of Grant. The result was that the
Secretary of the Interior appointed one
Pritchelt, an insignificant clerk, to examine
n to the fir auds VIII ereby the
the Indians were cheated. -Trtchett being
a democratic tool, he will report all right o.
course.
The Indians were not to be deceived
they paid no attention to Pitchett, but
waited on G G. Washburn and in the name
of the tribe presented him with the nation
al calumet, or pipe Of peace, which they de
clared was sacred object, and had been in
their possession a great number Of years.
In making the presentation, kesheua, the
second chef Of ahe tribe, made brief and
eloquent speech, detailing the wrongs and
stlfferings of their tribe
L is said the Indians throughout the q.
S. are disaffeeted- i,Tevocabiy so, against
the democracy. Several indians have be-
come educated, and devote their time to in
vestigating the cowardly, false and treacher-
Gus treatment Of democratic agents towards
the Indians--in pretending beneyolence but
deceiving, prostituting and stealing from
them.

THE HIeH PRICES AZ CHARLESTON

II is stated that New York spectators
have been to Charleston, and leased up to
the middle Of May, nearly every saloon,
drinking house, hall and hotel IN the city.
and this is one reason for the high prices
that are demanded for board and hall ac-
commodations. Another reason is that
hotel keepers have to get their supply Of
fresh meats from New York city. Parties
have already commenced specializing for
the large increase Of table supplies required
during the Convention. The Charleston
Mercury Of late date says:
Beet, and not very prime at that, is row
selling IN our market at 5000 ceats per
pound: mutton at 80, and pork at l3@l8
cents. Fowls also range at high prices
Turkeys sell at s3,5o@s4 a pair, and Wild
turkeys atshese figures apiece. Vegetables
are more reasonable, except cabtages, which
sell at 8l@s7csnts. per head.

APPoRTEONSIENT OF TnE WISCONSIN
SCHOOL FUND INCOME.

The School Superintendent of Wisconsin
has just made the apportionment Of the in
come Of the School Fund The whole sum
distributed is s139,e51 TO 279,so2 child
rem, giving so cents perseholar. Last year,
Ga cents scholar was distributed to 264,
852 children, making total Of 8l69,S52.
While there has been a considerable IN
crease il the number Of children, there has
been a diminution in the increase Welded
by the School Fund during the past year,
arising from the fact that State lands to the
value Of over $4,000 have been forfeited
during the year, aud from other causes
This, and the deduction Of $4,000 set
apart for township library purposes, mate
rally lessons the rate apportioned to eacl
scholar. The County OF Grant receives
$5,74e,5o, the County Of Lafayette, s3,
e52,5o, and the County Of Iowa sa.837,
so.
Il Is understood that in June or July
next, there viii be further apportionlnent
Of school money. The spectators in school
lands failed to pay their interest in time
and the Legislature INDUCED them till in
June. 1t is expected that few Of them
viii pay and thereby provide a little more
money for schools. 1t viii be seen that our
County Treasurer gives notice to Town Su-
perintendents that he is prepared to pay oy-
er the public school money.

4 SUCCESSFUL FAILURE.


The attempt to call a Constitutional
Convention to revise the Constitution has
been a successful failure. Among the de
signs prominent in the minds Of those ia
yorable to a convention is a change Of the
present Constitution so as to admit Of a
State debt exceeding 100000; another
to open the way for aiding with State
bonds to build railroads, and to assume
the payment Of Farm Mortgages; it is also
proposed to provide for raising the salaries
of State officers, and perhaps multiply sew
eral new ones.
Fl. L. PALMER Of Milwaukee appeared to
be the leader Of the Constitutional Con-
vention. State Assumption Party. Gen.
Cobb, Of Mineral Point, has The credit Of
making the project successful failure
A private letter from Madison says that
Gen. Cobb fought them almost single
handed, making one of his telling speeches,
conclusive to many members at first
strongly in favor Of Convention that the
great object to have new Constitution
was to have one silent upon the subject OF
a State debt, and alternately the assu,sp.
ton by the State Of the bonds &C the cities
counties and towns issue, for Railroad pur-
poses, which amounts in the aggregate tS
about twelve millions Of dollars. The bill
was defeated hy a vote Of SO to AZ, and
Is dispcsed of etIectuaily forthe session.
