BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS is
scarcely street in the city that is not
moro or less obstructed with building
materials, and the evidences of prosperity
ms thus indicated arc conclusive of the fl
nancial healthfulness of the place. Be-
side the many elegant blocks of stores
now in process of construction others are
already planned and will be commenced
at an early day. Among these, one of
the finost and most slightly has just been
determined upon by the Messrs. Flattery,
on the site of their present block on
Woodward avenue, below Woodbridge
street. The old stores are now being de-
molished, and in their stead will soon be
erected three buildings, each twenty feet
front by one hundred in depth, and five
stories high. They will be highly orna-
mental in appearance, the design being to
make them second to none in the city in
this respect. They will be ready for oc-
cupancy by about the first of September
The Messrs. Flattery, in the meantime
will occupy the stores on Atwater street.

TERRIBLE TRAeEDY.-A little daugh-
Ter of Rev. A. S. Freeman, of Havor-
straw, Rockland Co., N. Y, had her
throat cut-hcr head nearly severed from
her body-by Mrs. Marcus Kirkpatrick
on Monday last. 1t seems that Mrs. X.
has been i'll for long time, and subject
to great mental depression. She was
very fond Of "little Carrie" as the child
was called, and on the occasion referred
to had requested her own daughter TO in
vite her in--her parents being next-door
neighbors-to stay with her while she
(hor own daughter) should go to the store.
On her return from the store she saw her
mother sitting on the 6oor with n knife
in her hand, near tho bleeding but liCcloss
body of the child. 81 have done it,"
said the mother. Dono whatw asked
the daughter Sent her to heaven"
was the reply. Mrs. X. is now a raving
maniac.

A FLMsY ExcUsE.-The State Treas
urcr says he loaned the $4,000 10 Ha-
zolton Dc Co. for the reason that they cold
not negotiate the Saul Canal bonds with
out such accommodation, owing to the
opinion prevalent that the loan was UNI
constitutional, and his anxiety 10 have the
canal repaired was so great that he gave
thom the money. No honest or honor
able man would have taken such course.
If he found the bonds of the State were
not worth their full valne, then il was his
duty 10 bring them home again, and not
violate Tho law by loaning out and losing
one-half of the whole amount for the sake
OF obtaining the other half. His excuse
is so flimsy that no ono believes word

A VIce-President Of the Black Repub-
Ican Convention from Canada.


We have heard nothing as yet from the
black republicans on the dirty trick of
theirs, that We exposed the other day in
foisting half dozen Michigan and Can
ada abolitionists upon the Chicago Con-
vention as delegates from Texas, for the
purpose of helping Seward. What apol-
ogy have they to make to their party for
this disreputable act Of theiIsG A man
by the name of Chandler, resident of
Canada East, and not now and never n
citizen Of the United States, was one of
the Vice-Presidents of the convention,
and an obscure individual by the name o!
Henderson, living in the interior Of Mich
igan, was one of the secretaries, and was
appointed one of their national COM
mittee from Texas. This is the dirty
trick the Michigan black republicans con-
trived and palmcd off upon their party
TO help nominate certain candidate. 1t
is no wonder that the candidate failed
when it became necessary to resort 10
such measures.
On the first ballot two of the ''Texas''
delegates voted for Bates, fact that was
not understood by those who knew what
the delegation was composed Of The
New York Tribune, however, explains
the matter. 1t says that two Of them
voted for Bates so that on the next ballot
they could so over to Seward, thus max
ing il appear that his strength was on the
increase.
Let some of the black republican sheets
horoabouts give us all the facts about the
attempt to nominate Seward by men i'm
ported from Michigan and Canada tc
fraudulently represent Texas, not one o.
whom was ever within thousand miles
of that State. Let us hear all about Tho
Canadian Vice. President of the conven
ton. TDet. Free Press.

ANOTHER "TExAs" DELEGATE.-An
article we reprint in another column from
the Allegan Record gives us still further
insight into the disreputable trick the
black republicans of Michigan played up
on their party in that bogus Texas dele
CATION that they got up. 1t seems that
Mr.. Crawford" who made such a pa
thetic speech in the convention about the
attempt to strapgle infant liberty in the
South, choke down freedom, and all that,
was none other than a Mr.. Meyers, of
Allegan, and Senator from that district
in the last State Legislature, who was
never nearer to Texas than Chicago
And yet he had the effrontery to say be-
fore tho convention, I" / hail from Calves
ton." 1t is difficult to say which is the
most lost to shame, the party that will
countenance such a dirty procedure, or the
individuals who will lend themselves to
act the parts. bet. Free Press.

ANOTHER CAT OUT OF THE BAD
William I. Howell, prominent Republi-
can Of Newaygo County, is after Com
missioner Sanborn with mighty sharp
stick. He says that in 1859 an agent of
the State Land Office came into the neigh
borhood, found that The swamp lands had
been "skinned" and settled with the tres
passers receiving large sums Of money
oUer and above the price Of the land
three persons paying over $120O.--
Thereupon Mr.. Howell hints TO Mr..
Sanborn in the following delicate Ian
guage:
L therefore charge the Commissioner
of the Land Office and am prepared TO
prove
FirSt-That he has received sums OF
money for such trespasses, which belong
to the State, over and above tho costs Of
collection.
,Second-That he has not in any man
nor accounted for such moneys, though
received in time to be included in his last
Annual Report.

New York AwAKE.-There was n
very large meeting of the democracy of
New York city on Tuesday evening, to
give expression to their views relative to
the Presidency. There was but one OK
preston of sentiment, and that was in
favor of Mr.. DOUGLAS. Tho large hall
at the Cooper Institute, was crowded TO
excess, and several meetings were organ
lied outside. Speeches were made by Mr..
Richardson and Mr.. Logan of Illinois ;
ex-senator Foote, of Tennessee; E. G.
Marshall of Kentucky; Judge Larrabee
of Wisconsin, and others; and resolutions
were adopted not only sustaining The del
egation of that State in supporting Mr..
Douglas Mt Charleston, but pledging the
thirty-fvo electoral votes of the State to
him, in case he should be nominated
There is little doubt but that he could
carry The State easily enough against Lin
coin. TDet. Free Press.

placed il at the head of their columns,
while others affirm that it is Abraham
