Political Intelligence.

On Saturday afternoon very heavily load
ed train of cars passed through this city, en-
route for Chicago, bearing portion Of the
Massachusetts delegation. Gimores band,
and an enthusiastic company of outsiders.
JOHN A. ANDREW, chairman of the delegation,
with several of his associates, left Boston on
Friday morning, but were overtaken at Nigga
ra Falls by the main body. The republicans
of Detroit have made suitable preparations to
receive the eastern delegation, this Monday
noon, when the united delegations will proceed
together TO Chicago.
The friends Of Mr.. Seward at Chicago will
undoubtedly be strengthened by very large
accesions from the Ohio delegation, after Civ
ing a complimentary vote TO the statesman Of
their choice, SALMON z. CHASE. 1t is appar
ent that the best OF feeling exists among them
toward Mr. Seward, and whenever their sup
port Is needed to secure his nomination, he will
find no more cordial and enthusiastic support
crs than among the sterling representatives Of
the Buckeye state.

SOUNDING SUBTERRANEAN SEA.-A sin
gular divorce case has been on trial before the
Superior Court i'll this city, some days back, it
being a cross libel between Mr. and Mrs
Cook, she accusing him of compelling her to
act the clairvoyant and spiritual medium to
the manifest detriment of her health, and he
charging her with improper intimacies with a
man named SPENCE Some most singular
testimony has been given in the matter of
spiritualism, on the trial, and its effect on the
body and mind of those subjected to influence.

in our neighbor town of Preston, and became,
while IN that condition, the medium whereby
the spirit of Capt James Treat, (whose death
by drowning about five years ago, is a circum-

taken, but that nothing was found for the fol-
lowing reasons as they have been stated to us
The gold diggerS got down about eight or ten
feet into the soil, when they came upon large
stone with flat surface under which the
treasure was supposed to be hidden. Having

raised sufficiently high to allow what was be-
low to be partly seen, a great expanse of sea
was discovered, bounded by an antipodal hori-

they were no Quakers was manifested by a
ringing volley in the direction of the aperture,
between this higher terrene and that neither

like shot-and off ran the gold hunters
half frightened out of their wits; and nothing
can induce them to reopen their speculation
We may not vouch for the truth of this tale
which we have given substantially as it was
told to US; but if any one is so far left to cred
ulousness as to doubt the veracity of the story,
we can, if we only choose, refer him to man
who says he saw a man who said he saw the
hole made by the gold hunters. This ought
certainly to Salty skeptics generally.

lean. Seward Bates, and Wade;" and adds,
with reference to the recent efforts to bring
Mr. Banks more prominently forward, that
che has never been considered in the category Of
chances, owing to the insuperabie opposition Of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey in regard to his
free-trade opirions, and the fact that he is not
sustained by his own state"
Eli Thayer, NJ, c., and Horace Greeley, have
been appointed substitutes for two delegates
from the state of Oregon to the Chicago con-
vention. Both are instructed to vote tor
Bates. This compliment is extended to Mr..
Thayer, probably, because he voted to admit
Oregon against his party, the republicans OPP
posing her admission on the ground that the
constitution was not only anti-republican IN
form, but in violation of the constitution OF the
United States.-N. Y. Herald.
A republican party is organized in Texas,
and at a state convention held by them at
Austin on the 18th of April, the following
delegates were chosen to the Chicago conven-
ton; At LARGE. Dunbar Henderson, James
Scott, j. Strauss, G. Fitch. District Delegates
|. E. j. Garrison, William Seagrist; 5, M. j.
Z. Chandler, A. j. Yoakum. Strong repub-
lican resolutions were adopted, and the dele.
gates were instructed to vote IN favor of Will
liam H Seward for President. There is
large German population in Texas. 1t was
their votes alone which elected Gen. Houston.
Two of the delegates from Texas-Messrs.
Strauss and Seagrist-are adopted citizens of
German birth. When republicanism takes
root in Texas, and republicans there declare
themselves for VIM. H. Seward, northern re.
publicans will scarcely back down from their
principles or the men who represent them.

The prospect of a united action by the two
democratic conventions, at Richmond and
Baltimore, does not seem TO improve. The
South seems more determined than ever not to
acquiesce in the nomination of Douglas. Sen
ator Toombs has advices from Georgia to this
effect, and the recent n ceilings in favor of
Douglas in Savannah and New Orleans are
said to have been failures.

Since Mr. Lovejoy used the above quota
ton, inquiry has been made as to its author
and origin The first is unknown, but the lat
ter is somewhat lighted up by the following:
In obedience to the orders OF the Council Of
Constance, (l4l5,l the remains of Wcklifle
were exhumed and burnt to ashes, and these
cast into the Swift, a neighboring brook run
ming hard by, and "thus this brook hath con-
veyed his ashes into Avon, Avon into Severn,
Severn into the narrow seas, the seas into the
main ocean. And thus the ashes OF Wickliffe
are the emblem of his doctrine, which now is
dispersed all the world over. "-FULLER-

Fox says :-"What Heraclitus would not
laugh, or what Democrtus would not weep :

body, burned his bones, and drownedhs ashes,
yet the Word of God aud truth OF his doctrine,
with the fruit and success thereof they could
not burn. "-Book Of Martyrs.
