THE WAR IN MExIoo.-A correspondent of
the Alta, writing from the City of Mexico,
August I'd, says:
We live here in a complete state of anarchy.
Since Miramon was defeated at Ocotilys. near
Jhyula, he retired to Lagos, which he still
keeps occupied with 1000 men. General
VOL is still defending Guadalajara with an
other 1000 men, against 10000 Liberals. un>
der Ogazon, and Zuloaga returned quietly to
this city, which is almost bare of any troops
Nevertheless, the Constitutionalists have not
the courage TO attack us, though the Gener-
ais PARA and Berriazabal might be here
within twenty-four hours. However. [ am
positively informed that the Generals Gegol
lado, Carabajal, Rosas, and Vale, who, on
cutting Miramon off from the city, are con-
sidering seriously whether it would not be
advisable to join said two chiefs and take
Mexico by a coup de MAN, which could be
easily executed.
The foreign Ministers try their utmost to
have a settlement between the eontending
parties, leaving the choice of President to
Congress, but the Liberals will not listen to
any such proposals, as they believe they have
a sure thing, while the Conservatives do their
utmost to make the Spaniards take Vera
N,"S' anu Ohus give thelr antagonists death
blow.
The capital of the State of Oajaca has
been abandoned by the Conservative troops,
who marched to Iguola, the only place which
remains to the party in the south, and umor
has it that they gave General Don Diego AL
varez good thrashing; however, only half
of the reports are reliable.
The commerce of this city is very much
annoyed by forced loans, causing the suspen>
sion of several firms and the closing of bust
ness of Others who will not expose them
selves to see their goods seized by the gov
ernment. The owner of the railroad to

will be sold for that amount, in case of non
payment.

Ohio State Convention.


RESOLUTIONS endorsing Douglas and john
son were adopted, when about fifty Breckin-
ridge men withdrew from the Convention
and met at the Neil House. They appointed
State Central Committee and a Committee
to prepare an address to the Ohio Democracy
and issued a call for a State Convention to
meet at Columbus on the second Tuesday in
August to nominate State and electoral
ticket"
The above extract we copy from tele-
graph despatch from this city, on the 4th of
July, in relation to cur Democratic State
Convention. We are sorry to see the CO.
lumbus office engaged in the circulation of
any such statement about the Ohio Demo.
cratic State Convention of July 4th 1t is a
gross talsehood to say that about fifty 81 eek
lnrlde men withdrew, met at the Neil House
and organized. But two men withdrew
The meeting at the Neil House was a pre-
arranged thing, got up by Marshal johnson,
Or. Fries and one or two others, but was not
composed of the Delegates of the Democracy
to the State Convention. 1t was q self con-
stltuted body, without any constituency
whatever. johnson and Fries were at
Charleston and Baltimore endeavoring to
procure a division in the party, and this
little side show at Columbus was gotten up
by them to crafty Slidell, Bright q Co.
Columbus (Ohio) Statesman.
The Marysville Express of yesterday, grew
lubiant in announcing the fact, that its party
in Ohio had held State convention; we
therefore commend to its consideration the
above extract from the Ohio Statesman. We
do not think that the men who got up that
secession convention, have the least idea
that Breckinride will carry that State. All
they want is TO defeat Douglas, no matter
who else may be elected Il is useless to
argue that a secession slave code candidate
for the Presidency has any show at all of
carrying Ohio, the Democracy of which State
has time and again pronounced in favor of
non Intervention by Congress, and whose
delegates in the National Convention, voted
as unit for Stephen A. Douglas, as the rep
resentative of the principles of the Demo-
cratic party. But the fact is this: There
are certain leaders of the Secession party.
who wish to defeat Judge Douglas, no matter
what ensues, and it is through their influence
and advice no doubt, that these secession
electoral tickets will be ran, in States where
they have not the shadow of a chance to
succeed Their motto is defeat Douglas, or
break up the Democratic party"

FROM CHINA.-By the bark Creole, which
arrived at San Francisco Tuesday evening,
we have dates from Hongkong to the 24th of
July:
From Shanghae there is no intelligence of
Importance. There is no further information
with regard to rebel movements, although
the Chinese believe that HaDgchow has Ell
ther fallen or is in great danger.
disturbance had taken place at a village
named Cowboy, near Swatow, on the 9th of
July, arising out of the seizure of French
Missionary by some pirates, and his deten-
ton until ransom of 5000 was paid. This
was paid by some proseytes he had made in
the vicinity. Word was sent to Hongkong
of the matter and naval force dispatched
TO the place. A restitution of the Mission
ary's private property and ransom money was
demanded, and also that the ringleaders
should be given up. This was not complied
with, and on the 18th the village was re-
duced with shot and shell.
News received at Hongkong from New
Zealand states that active preparations had
been made to suppress the outbreak among
the natives at that colony. Considerable eX-
eitement prevailed among the settlers, many
OF whom had turned out as volunteers. The
naval and military force designed to operate
against the insurrectionists would amount to
two thousand.

A VOLCANO IN Polk COUNTY, WIs.-One
of the strangest phenomena in nature has
recently developed itself near the Horse
Lake, Polk county Wis. Flames of fire came
up through the earth in several localities,
and one mans barn has been burned down
by it. Strange to say, the fire can only be
seen in the daytime, the earth in the evening
bearing close resemblance to phosphorus
The air smells as if impregnated with sulphur
The most remarkable feature in this case is
the fact that woollen articles in the houses
located near by take fire, although there is
nothing visible to ignite them. This is a
fact Chicago Journal.

MINING INVENTIONS have already no.
ticed two or three mining inventions of Mr..
Edward A. Matteson, of Omega, and we
learn that he has lately added another to the
list. The latter invention is applied to the
derrick, and greatly lessons the labor of lift.
ing rocks, stumps, etc, from mining claims.
We understand that Mr.. Matteson is now
having models made Of two or three of his
mining Improvements, with the intention of
exhibiting them at the State Fair. Mr.. Mat

Effect of the Census in 1890.

The New York Times males an elabor-
ate and candid showing of the effect of the
census Of this year on the representation Of
the several States in Congress. 1t figures
that the States which will lose representa-
tives. are:-Alabama l, Connecticut /.
Georgia /. kentucky 3, Massachusetts, /,
North Carolina l, New York 3. Ohio l.,
Pennsylvania 3, Rhode Island l, South
Carolina 2, Tennessee l, Virginia 2, Yer
mont l. The other States viii stand as
they are. The Times sums up the remark
able facts as follows:
/. All the old anil large States of the
Union without exception, lose ground re-
latively, and most of them positively.
2. The South loses ground largely; the
new State of Texas, having five fold the
territory of the old States: and lying west
Of the Mississippi, is the only one that
gains.
8. The only part of the Union which
positively gains is the Northwest-MissOur
probably being included in that.
+. The Northwest positively gains 10
representatives and , Senator's in Mime
sofa.
8. The Slave States lose IL representa-
tives and gain +, being a positive loss of Z.
The free States gain II and lose 10, being
a positive gain of +. with + Senators in
Minnesota and Oregon. The admission of
Kansas and Nebraska, which will speedily
happen, will add two representatives and 4
Senators to the same side.

81 Cont Dance"

An exchange says a plain unlettcred
man from the back country in the State
of Alabama, came to Tuscaloosa. and on
the Sabbath went early to church. He
selected a seat in 4 convenient slip and
waited patiently the assembling Of the
congregation. The services commenced
Presently the music of a full toned organ
burst upon his astonished ear he had new
or heard one before. At the same tine the
gentleman who owned the slip came up the
aisle. with his lady leaning upon his arm.
As he approached the door of the slip, he
motiOned to give place to the lady. This
movement the countryman did not compre-
bend, and from the situation of the gen.
tleman and lady, associated as it was in
his mind with the music, he Immediately
concluded that a c%otillion OF. a French con-
ira dance, or some other dance was intend
ed. Rising partly from his seat he said
to him? Excuse me, sir-exeuse me, if
you please, | don't dance"

The Convention on Thursday.

We dislike to find fault with the action
of the Convention which met on Thursday
last, to nominate delegates to Chicago, but
in one t ing We must say we think the del
egates from Trumbull and Ashtabula made
a mistake. and one of which our Mahoning
friends have a right to complain.
After the nomination of Mr.. Giddings
as a delegate, remarks were made which
indicated that the Convention was agreed
that Mahoning county should select the
other delegate. and accordingly the Mahon-
ing delegation, after retiring by the consent
Of the Convention to deliberate. presented
the name of DR.. Trueslcll of Poland, a
most worthy and competent gentleman
To the surprise and chagriu of the Ma
honing men, and We may say Of many dis
interested persons, the TrumbulI AMI Ash
tabula delegations seemed in the meantime
to have agreed to select the other delegate
themselves, and did 80.
Had it been understood that Judge SUIT
lift was a candidate, We presume the Ma
houing men would willingly have acqui-
esced; but after they had been in substance
invited to select the second delegate. and
retired for that purpose, it naturally SEEM
ed to them Ike an ~inlignity to treat their
nomination with such a COOS neglect. We
are confident no slight was really intended,
but thoughlessness is a fault when its CT
is to interrupt the cordial good under
standing between the Republicans of sister
counties.
This mistake having been made, it seems
to us that good faith and courtesy demand
that the Republican Presidential ElectOr to
be chosen in this District, next fall, should
be selected from Mahoning cOunty.

in the vast dining room. then force the
large gate at the southeast corner. kill the
guards on the walls, if necessary. and when
outside of the walls every man take care of

sign. and on Saturday evening. when each
company of men were told by their guards
OF the discover, a more chop-fallcn looking

taken from the shops and dungeoned. where
