The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-05-03

A SLOW RUN.-There has been for a week past
run upon the Tecumseh (Ohio) Bank. Holders of
have beset the doors of the institution, but as the
notes are redeemed in specie, and the only coin
used in liquidation five cent pieces, it may be
readily understood that but little progress is made
| in the work During the forenoon Of Tuesday last
| but one hundred dollars were thus redeemed. 1t
is said that the hotels in the place get money
than the bilholders, although, if the latter wait
| long enough, they will get their entire claims.

MORE THAN ENoUGH-AN OUNCE OF ARsENIC.-A
young man attempted to poison himself at the Re
we're House, in Decatur, Illinois, on Wednesday
night of last week. He had been drinking immo-
deratey for several days, and had got pretty well
sobered when he did the act. The porter of the
hotel gave the alarm, and the Young mans room
was soon filled with a crowd. He caught up a dirk
knife, and drove the crowd down stairs in a rapid
manner. Physicians were summoned quickly, and
remained with hi most of the night He was
raving crazy for several hours after taking the
poison, and the only way his strength could be
mastered was by tying his limbs with stout ropes.
The letters which he laid upon the table when he
first entered the room, were directed to his rea-
| tives, informing them that he was determined to
kill himself. He took ounce of arsenc--enough
to kill five hundred persons-and the overdose acted
as an emetic: thus saving his life

NEWSPAPER CRCULATIoN.-The New York Herold
is mistaken in its belief that sale of 200 600 in two
days, account of the fight for the Championship,
is totally unprecedented. In 1921 the London
Times published letter from Queen Caroline to
her husband, written for her by William Cobbett,
and over 200, 900 of that days paper were sold In
February, 1929, on the introduction Of Catholic
emancipation by Peel; in March, 1881, when the
Reform Bill was brought in; and in 1916, when
Peel declared his intention to abolish the Corn
Laws, the Times, each OCCASION sold over 200.
600 copies The ordinary circulation of the Times
is close upon 50, 600 day-or about double that of

New Store and New Goods.

We take great pleasure in calling the
attention Of all our readers to the adyer-
tlsement of our old friend Talbot
which will be found on the fourth pare
of this weeks paper.
Our up countay readers will all re-
member that Mr.. Talbot was one Of the
pioneers in bringing to attention and Civ
ing interest to our region. He sur
veyed. named Clear Water; spent
large sums of money there; and we
are indebted TO his enterprise for a
part OF our growth above st. An
thony. Mr.. Talbot is now located in
St Anthony, .and offers a choice stock
OF fresh goods. He buys for cash in
Boston, where he has an acquaintance
OF twenty years standing, and can sell,
perhaps, cheaper than any other dry
goods house in the State; and vet save
tis prsfts. We were in his Store when
below, and can vouch to our readers
or the truth Of all he says in relation to
he quality and quantity of his stock. =

Chicago Nomination.

The special correspondent of the N
Y. Tribune, writing from Washington,
says:
If radical candidate be insisted
upon at Chicago, large detection may
be expected in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, among the conservative portion
of the Opposition. This purpose is SER
ious, and IN such contingency the
Bell ticket will assume much more i'm
portance than FilImore's did in 1856.
This information is derived from unques-
tionabIe sources, and will be represen-
ted at Chicago SO as to preclude all
doubt.
We hope the Convention will heed
these warnings, and leave the Radicals
all out. The times, and the country,
don't need them. They always do
more harm than good, whether in pol
itics, religion, or morals. Whether in
the slave States or free. Their one
idea policy leads them away from the
real object of good to be attained, and
they generally become selfish, partizan,
and fanatical. This is true of them ev-
erywhere. The people don't want such
man in the Presidential chair, ard he
may be nominated hundred times, and
they will defeat him just as often.

THE CROPS in MINNFsor.

From the Winowa Ren,l,;enn
copy the following cheering news An
of our exchanges tell the Same story
We have taken especial care n ,e.rn
from our exchanges in every section of Z
the State, and from the MANY farmers
VINO aredaily in town with their pra;n 70
sell, the condition Of the growing wheat
crop, and the prospect for the com;ng
harvest. The result of these INQUIRIES >
Is the same everywhere. Never. at this
season OF the year, has there been a
more general promise of an abundant
crop than is now held forth. The pen-
RAJ rams OF the past two weeks have SER
we'd to lnvlgorate vegetation to sucb an
extent, and caused it to spring up 40
rapidly, that those who have watched
Its progress speak of it with great en-
tnuslasm, as something which only the
rich, quick soil of Minnesota can pro-
duce.
The breadth of ground under crltiya-
ton for wheat this year, at the lowest
estimate, cannot be less than double
that of last year, and many persons as
sure us that it is quite three times as
great. With continuance of favora-
Bile weather until harvest, such as we
have thus far been blessed with the har-
vest in Minnesota will be so exceeding
ly abundant that all the people will have
reason to exult beyond any former ex-
Perience. and to literally clap their
hands with joy.

A Pleasant Sight.

There was a gathering of little boys
and girls at our house the other even
ing. II was indeed pleasant sight
So much happiness, joyousness, aud in
nocence--it is good to behold 1t car
ries one back to childhood before the
cares and troubles of life begin. 1t
admonIshes us how much better we
might have been than we are, had we
resisted every temptation and cherished
IN our hearts more than we have, the
sacred impulses of earlier and brighter
days. AS we looked upon the rosy
cheeks. and heard the merry laugh of
the little groupe that ran round and
round on the green sward, we could not
help thinking how little they knew of
the sorrows and disappointments des-
tined to meet them ere they closed the
journey they have but just begun-of
the troubles and anxieties incident to
the actualities of life-of the cold, hard
road TO be travelled to worldly success,
if ever attained-of the thousand hopes
blooming brightly only to be disappoint-
ed, and the thousand friendships offered
only to betray. But the little children,
the little Franks, and Davids, and Ar
thurs, and Marys reioiced, sung and
laughed on while their little feet danced
over the green grass, under the clear
blue sky, all unmindful of our thoughts,
just as though this wicked world were
a Paradise and everybody in it as inno-
cent and happy as themselves. God
bless the little children. May good an
gels watch over them.

II nothing else should drive this lazy ell

that the richest and most beautiful fields

The two Wings

No doubt is entertained now that the
two wings Of the Democracy will come
together at Baltimore and reunite. They
have decided advantage now that they
come together after the action of the
Republicans at Chicago shall have been
known. They can take advantage of
any mistake made in the selection of
candidates by the Republicans, and of
course will do it.
Let the Republicans take a sectional
man and Democrats will find no diff
Guilty in finding man to defeat him.
Public sentiment is assuming a deter
mined stand against sectionalism every
where. The action of Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and other Southern
States, by their delegates, against Yam
cey's sectional movement at Charleston
is proof that it will be repudiated in the
south.
The advlces received from Chicago
are favorable in this direction. Hor-
ace Greedy, the elder Blair, the Penn
sylvania and New Jersey delegates
all are opposed TO the nomination of a
Radical.
The leading Journals throughout the
country demand reputation Of sec
[Ional platforms and sectional men. -
The voice ofthe country speaks the
same language. 1t augurs well for our
country. We do not despair of the Re-

When man owns any portion Of our
mother earth, if it is only city lot of
twenty-five feet by hundred, it is his
duty to help it 20 produce something for

earth, which should be dug and enrich

vine that will give you shade, and fra
GRANGE, and delicious fruit as long as
you live. Never did investment nav

few feet mere TO spread itself, yields an

Parties and Presidential Can
didat0S.

Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, has
been nominated for the Presidency by
the Union Convention lately held at
Baltimore; and Hon. Edward Everett
for Vice President Both men are well
known TO the country, and occupy high
positions as statesmen and orators.
MMr. Everett is an old line Wing, and
formerly took prominent part in polit-
ical affairs. He is a man Of rare schol-
arly attainments, and has for the last
few years devoted most Of his time to
literary pursuits. Of Mr.. Bell we need
say only that he occupied high posi-
tion in the United States Senate for
many years, is safe conservative man,
of acknowledged ability, and expert
ence, and of unsullied integrity.
This ticket can, however, only assume
importance by mistakes at Chicago and
Baltimore. Should Radical be nomi-
mated at Chicago then, as the Tribune
correspondent says in another column,
any in the Republican ranks will 90
yer TO the Bell ticket, especially in
Penn ylvania and New Jersey, with
such men as Gov. Pennington at thei.
head. IF Hunter, or jeff: Davis, or
any Statesman of that style should final
ly receive the nomination by the Demo-
Gratis at Baltimore, in that contingency
thousands Of Southern votes would be
cast for Bell and Everett. But should
Bates receive the nomination at Chica-
go, and Douglas at Baltimore, the two
parties would concentrate on their re-
fPective candidates, leaving the Union
ticket without the electoral vote of a.
single State.

Wives DISCONTINUED.

| Under this head, Mr.. Greely writes
a pungent article in his last paper in
relation to the proceedings of the Wo-
mems Rights Convention recently held
in New York, in which Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton introduce ed some strange
resolutions in relation to marriage.-
The editor of the TRIBUNE proposes that
hereafter the name Of these conventions
be changed, and be called Conventions
of Wives C,scontenfed.
We think Greely's idea very good
one. Let it so be understood, and let
al, the wives dscontentcd annually as
semble, State their grievances to each
other, denounce their husbands, call
them brutes, tyrants. hypocrytes, op-
pressors-arraign them publicly, not
privately, for their misbehavior-in lee
lures, speeches, newspapers, that the
world and the rest ofmankind may know
precisely the counts in each indict-
ment preferred by each and every mar
ried woman agrieved. What an inter-
esting development would it be. What
an amount of precious scandal would
fill the papers. Newspaper publishers
would reap a rich harvest in the in
creased interest given to their usually
prosy pages. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton has lead the way. Let all
wives discontinued follow. She de-
clares the marriage relation of no more
binding force than that which man
may make with partner for the sale of
dry goods. This is new doctrine, and
being quite new, we shall expect to see
it followed bv all the discontented wives
in the land.
What an assembly we may expect
next year of wives discontented. How
many poor husbands will be left soli-
tary and alone. The Chicago Wig
warm would not be half large enough
TO accommodate those-that no man
can number-of agrieved ladies going
up with Indictments, done up in blue
ribbon. in their petticoat pockets. 1t will
be grand court of inquest to try the right
Of husbands to the possession of their
wives. About that time we shall evnact
also to see the newspapers all around
reighted with little notes like this:--
"Whereas, my wife Mehitable has.
Without cause, left my bed and board;
low this is to forbid all persons trusting
ny said wife Mehitable on my account
S | shall pay no debts of her contract
ng."
In relation to the resolutions in oues-
on Mr.. Greely finally says: /
There are some things besides in r
'ose resolutions to which we might OBJ +
ct on the score of taste, some thinos
hch we rather marvel that a modest
oman should say, and that modest
omen IN mixed assembly should list i
to which patience. But these are d
condary matters. The thought that Il
ms through them all that the marriage
Is OF the si,me nature as a mere bus :
ess relation is 50 Objectionable. so II
ngerous, that we do not care to draw o
tentlon from that one point. II
