~ At the Desha Democratic County
Conventy on the 9Th inst, the Delegates to
the State Convention were instructed to
cast their votes. first for Hon. Thomas
and second for R<1f. JOHNSON,
and expressed preference for the Hon. jill
son P. johnson for Congress.
The following are among the Resolutions
introduced by the Hon. T. B. Flournoy,
and unanimously passed:
Resolved, That all attempts to forestall
the free and unbiased action of the Charles
ton convention, come from whence it NAV,
should be met by every member of the par
ty with undivided scOrn and contempt as an
impudent effort at dictation to the party,
and these selfconstituted dictators, should
be taught that when the party acknowledge
they need dictators they will be of their
own appointment.
RESOLVED, That recent developments now
leave but little doubt that the Hon. STE
PHEN A. DOUGLAS. will be the nominee Of
the convention at least it is certain that
the twO-third rule alone can prevent it, and
in the event of his nomination, we hope to
see the name of our own eminent and re-
spected fellow-citizen, Hon. r. w. JOHN
SON. presented to the Convention for the
second position-that of Vice President Of
the United States.
Resol'ed, That it is our opinion that nc
two names would combine more strength
be hailed with more joy, or awaken more
enthusiasm in the Democratic heart of the
nation, or be received with more despond.
ency by the enemy. than the names of such
distinguished patriots as Douglas and ohm.

The STOLEN MADONNA OF GUIDo.-Our readers
may remember that some four five years ago a
great noise was made at the sudden disappearance
from Ss Bartholomew church, in Bologna, of the
celebrated Madonna of Guido Reni, a wonderful
work of art, and held in no less veneraton by the
faithful than that of Rimini. This picture has
again come to light, and been taken back to the
city to which it belongs, where it was received
with great joy, and honored with solemn re-
hgious procession. The thieves, it appears, were
only two in number, and ignorant men, only
knowing the value of the picture by reputation.
They stole it on the night of the 10th of July, 1885,
and made good their escape with it to London,
where they sold it to two Italian artists in whose
possession it has been ever since. They knew it to
have been stolen, and recently handed it over to
the Marquis dAzeglio, in London, by whom it was
forwarded to the city whence it was taken nearly
five years ago.
The first rail ever laid in Kansas, was put down
