A Merican Superstition An inter-
esting anecdote is told of Mexican
superstition, traces of which still ling
err in the land where it received its
origin: When Mexico was conquered
and Montezuma murdered, many of
the royal family fed, and passing in
to New Mexico, built the city and
temple of Pecos. In the grand plaza
they dug three feet-deep cisterns, all
communicating with one another by
underground passages. Tn these cis-
terms they kiudled fires, which never
went out for three centuries. indulging
the vain hope that Montezuma would
again visit them before the fame cx-
pired. 1t was only twelve years ago
that Gen. ArmJe put stop 10 their
devorions, and caused the fame to be
extinguished. Only peculiar kind
of person was permitted to feed this
fire. for they supposed if any one of
the profanum rulgns descended into
the cistern he would be Immediately
swallowed up by an immense serpent
One years IaboE>over the fire gener-
ally proved fatal, yet as fast as one
devotee passed away. there wore found
many willing and anxious to fill his
place. But disease and the wild
mountain tribe of Apaches have lop-
ped off all the royal scions save two,
and these have gone far beyond the
Rio del Norte, and have rekindled the
flame over which will expire in a very
few years the last of the Montezumas.

Mr.. Blair, ST., is here, and leads the Bates
interest, which is hopeful and earnest. They
count up over sixty votes on the first ballot
from nine or ten States.
The highest calculation for Seward on the
first ballot is eighty-fve votes.
Mr.. Cameron's friends from Pennsylvania
are here in force, and very clamorous Ohio
will probably lead for nobody but Chase but
would accept Judge Mclean or Wade, il
proffered outside the State. There is not
much talk of Mclean, and he will apparently
have but few votes, perhaps none, on the first
ballot. OBJ. b.
Mr.. Seward will lead, Mr. Bates will come
next and Chase will come third, having some
New England votes. Cameron will come
next, then Lincoln. The latter is much
pressed by the Illinois delegates as a COM
promise candidate, and would be accepted by
all the Northwest cheerfully. For Presi-
dent of the Convention, Messrs. Ashman Gil

he and his party will be inevitably defeated,

An lrishman named Mike Murray, was
fearfully cut by countryman named Pat
OConnor in Chicago a few days ago. While
the dying man was lying in the street. the
following scene, as reported by the Press ana
Tribune, occurred:
But the medical attention was interrupted
midway by a singular scene. One Of his
countrymen bends over the face, the entire
forehead of which is furrowed from side to
side by gaping wound. The inteTo-

Another interrogation took up the thread
in the person of q little Irish woman in al
most trenzied state of excitement. She
pressed in next to Murray, and in her eager
ness nearly touched his face with her own.

CHICAGO, May lA-The committee acting
for Edward Bates have issued an address to-
day, giving various reasons why that gentle
man should be nominated for the Presidency.
They say Judge Bates though both theo-
retical and practical emancipatonist, Is a
native and of lifelong residence of slave
holding section of our country. His nomi-
nation would, therefore, be a signal and final
refutation of the charge of sectionalism so
unfairly, and yet so effectually urged against
the Republican party and would render fire.
eating threats Of disunion, in case of Repub-
lican triumphs, palpably futile.
He is the favoritc of the entire Opposition
of Missouri, and will be supported by them
with confidence of success.
They firmly believe Judge Bates's nomina-
tion would nearly dissolve the organization
which has presented to the nation the names
of John Bell and Edward Everett, and induce
nine-tenths of those hitherto known as
Americans, 0ld-Line Wings, Union men,
&C., to cooperate heartily with MS in rescue
ing the country from the hands into which
she has been permitted to fall.
They believe now that the united opposi-
ton of Pennsylvania and New Jersey can be
kept united by the nomination of Edward
Bates, and that Indiana, Illinois and Oregon
can be carried with him, and that the tri-
umph in November be thus placed beyond q
contingency.
In conclusion they say: ave entreat you
to present the name of Edward Bates as the
olive branch to the various parties which
earnestly desire the overthrow of fillibuster-
ing, slavery-eXtending sham Democracy, as
aproller of fraternization and kindly regard.
Do this in generous and magnanimous
spirit and you will have vindicated our cause
from the unjust but damaging imputation of
sectionalism.
The address is signed by F. P. Blair Horace
Greeley, Jno. D. Defrees Jno @. Vogel, Jas.
B. Eads, and DR.. A. Waummer, as the Com
mittee.

Postomce Inconveinences-sussestion..

There is an Inconvenience under which the
people OF this community are made to suffer,
for which there is a remedy so accessible that
it would seem as if it ought to be applied.
We refer to the Arrangement of the Post
office, which, whoever may have been to
blame, few viii deny, is almost as bad as Dos
sible. Amy form of construction which re-
qulres the people of a large city to do what is
equivalent to going into second-story for
their mail matter, needs no argument to show
that it is wrong. Whoever goes to the Post
office is obliged to climb a hard staircase of
some sixteen or eighteen steps which is none
the less e staircase and none theless tiresome
because it is broad, and happens to stand open
70 the weather. It is hard upon men, and
stili harder upon women; and is so much a
subject Of complaint that it is legitimate to
inquire if there is not somewhere the means
to remedy the difficulty.
In the opinion of many, the Vine-street
front OF the basement of the Postofice build
ing offers all that is necessary to effect the
desirable change. IT is large enough, and
easy oil access; and ut very moderate ex-
pense could be made as convenient TO the
postmaster and his assistants as the present
location. This would permit a removal of
the 1Noqrt 70 the main floor of the building
where it should believing the remainder
OF that, and the whole of the story above, to
9be1 occupied by the Collector and other
iofteers Of the Government. Such a change
would be popular
