Beg Several of the more prominent OF
the Republican papers of the United States
the New York Tribune and the Chicago
Press among the number-are urging upon
the National Committee the propriety of
changing the time of holding the Ma
tional Convention. 1t is insisted that
the 18th day of June will be too late,
and that it will be impossible to heal
all the little differences that may arise
as to the candidates and the construction OF
platform and still have sufficient time left
to consolidate tie organization. fan the en-
thusiasm to flame and sweep the country
like a tornado. In view of these facts the
papers above referred to think the committee
should change the time to an earlier period.
Our own opinion is that there are many
more radical objections to the place where
the Convention is to assemble than to the
time. If the Committee conclude to tinker
with their former determination, they had
better change the location as well as time.

ted that a large audience will greet the lee

much care, and it is stated that the lecture
will contain some new and interesting facts

McMasters' ability as lecturer is equal to
his editorial management of the Freeman's
Journal our readers will be amply repaid by
attendance on the lecture.

IMPoRTANT DEcIsIoN.-JudgeJ John NJ. Will
son yesterday gave the decision that the new
amendments to the State Bank Law were
constitutional and binding. This decision
has created a better state of feeling as to
our currency, and will be of great service to
our people. Under the law as amended our
good banks will do thriving business,
while the swindling and wildcat institu-
tions will soon go out of existence. This
decision will do wonders toward purifying
our currency.
We hope our new Bank Commissioners
will do their duty in the premises, and no
longer dilly daily with a class of men who
are trying to carry on the banking business
without capital Chicago Dem. jan 4th'

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North american writes:
"The groggery in the House Postofice IS
still in full operation, and whisky runs free
to all who have votes in electing the officers
of the House. How many are to be purchas-
ed with drinks we shall be better able to
judge after the election. A groggery and
restaurant had existed in basement room
of the Capitol for some years previous to the
commencement of the XXXth Congress !;
but no sooner was Mr.. Winthrop elected
Speaker of that Congress than he gave an
order to the Sergeant-at-Arms to clear the
groggery out forthwith, and it was promptly
executed. Now free groggery is establish
ed on the same floor, and within few steps
of the Hall !"

MONDAY MORNING.

Hsf@ We received another letter from our
g senior last night, but on account of his
not being fully posted with the Post-office
arrangements--like the other letter, it IS
behind time.
The proceedings of the Convention, on the
second day, was more quiet than on the
first, the Buchanan men having become con-
WINGED that there was but little use Tor them
to kick in the traces. They made a dying
rally to prevent instructions, but it was no
use. They had to "giye in. .
The Douglas men, however, seem to have
been disposed to be lenient and recompensed
the Administration men for their defeat on
instructions, by awarding them a major
ity of the candidates on the State ticket.
The following are the cand idates.
For Governor.-Thomas A. Hendricks, OF
Shelby county.
For Lieut.. Gooernor.-D. Turpie, of White
county.
For Secretary of lState.-W. H. Schlater,
OF Wayne county
For AUDITOR qf State-Joseph Ristine, of
Fountain county.
For Treasurer Of State.-N. F. Cunning
ham, of Vigo county.
For Attorney Generat.-Oscar b. Hord,
of Decatur county.
For Superintendent Of PuJlic Instruction
Samuel L. Rugg, of Allen county.
For Clerk efthe Supreme Comt.-Corne-
Illus OBrien, of Dearborn county.
For Supreme Court Reporter.-M. G. Kerr,
of Floyd county.
There are several interesting features con-
nected with the selection of this ticket, which
we will notice at some future time. 1t viii
be seen that the 4" Pocket counties" are totally
unrepresented on the State ticket, whilst other
counties which were never known to give
Democratic majority, are favored with
candidates. This, certainly, should add to
the enthusiasm of the Democrats of this re-
gion. The resolutions we shall endeavor to
dissect, after we first publish them in full,
so that bur readers may judge of them for
themselves prior to reading our views on
the same subject.

What the Arkansas Papers Say

We have time only to barely glance over such of the Arkansas papers as are lett on our table after our friends have helped them selves.
 We see in the Warren Sunbeam that the sheriff of that county gives notice that he will hire out certain free-negroes. These, it seems, prefer to remain and be hired than go and endure the mseries of a free State. At the end of the year the amount for which they were hired is paid over to them and they are permitted to leave the State Ii they are sensible negroes they will select a master and stay at home. The Sunbeam, we are glad to say, is hourishing.
 The Thirty Fifth Parallel presents strong arguments in favor of it's route to the Pacific. |" One John King" catches it in the Par allel Some of our readers may remember fellow who goes about talking of our "rall- road" and flattering himself that he is doing a mighty work. Somehow he conceived the idea that his owner could ride into of- flee on the hobby of the railroad. John commenced blowing his penny trumpet and pleased with his musical abilities, has gone about exhibiting himself John thinks he is great politician, and delivers his opin- ions with Sir Oracle air that is amusing. It is not with such simple stuffsas this fel- lows gas that roads are built or parties de- stroyed. The Parallel charges that John is an Irishman. This, it strikes us as something to be proud of. The land of Emmet and Tone, of Wellington and Moore, the mother of warriors, statesmen and poets, is surely not one that any man need be ashamed of Yet, John denies his country and such glorious country too. The Parallel gives him the form of the natu- ralization, certificate this fellow must get be- fore he can vote again. Itappears he has law license and has voted without being enti- tied. John is small potatoe and not a sweet one.
