r1- A friend who recently returned
from Springfield, Illinois, gives an anu
sing accoun; c. Mr.. Lincoln beset by
politicians. He says every possible CT
fort is made To draw out tho President
elect upon political topics, but without
success. Every attompt of tho kind is
met Ly Mr.. Lincoln with genial smile
and felicitous anecdotes so handsomely
told that it is impossible to break through
to the desirable subject. Our friend (who
is not politlcian,) gives a glowing and
enthusiastic description Of Mr.. Lincoln 5
geniality and attractive manners, and
appears 10 DO much impressed by him;
But he describes Mrs. Lincoln as much
moro ambitious than her husband, who
seems "as easy in his present attitude
as If he had been President all his life. "

..who struck Billy Patterson go

Somebody has, certain, for he rushes into
print in the Enquirer, and attempts to de-
molish our correspondent "Pro Bono Publ
co.. who saw fit to give some facts that
came under has oa0n kno1eledge, connected
with the action of the Common Pleas dele
gates at Princeton on the Both ult. The
correspondent, "Billy Patterson of the
Enquirer, broadly contradicts most ifnot all
the statements OF ''Pro Bono Publico" and
proceeds to berate him and another dele
gate vehemently. "Pro Bono" is handled
without gloves by the redoubtable "Billy,'
for daring to interfere with the nice little ar
rangements of the Vanderburgh County
Court House Clique, looking to the defeat
of the competent Judge Pitcher, by the in
competent Squire Stinson, for the respon-
sible and important office of Common
Pleas Judge.
So far IS We are concerned, we have no
right to interfere in a fight between two
brother Democrats, especially as our cores
pondent is fully able to take care of himself
But we assert that the main facts of the
case are as our correspondent stated them
A person from this Office was present at
Princeton on the 3oth, and knows the feel
ing that prevailed in regard to the Judge
ship. A number of other witnesses will
vouch for the correctness of the main facts
detailed by g Pro Bono Publico." 1t was
well known at the time, and was generally
talked of on the streets, that the reason why
the Democrats did not nominate a candid
ate for Common Pleas Judge, was, not on
account of the uncertainty in regard to the
validity of the law, but because there was
desire not to make party question of the
Judgeship, and determination to maintain
the dignity and respectability of the office
by putting on the bench profound lawyer
and experienced jurist. This is the way the
people through their delegates felt what
ever may have been the plans and wishes
of few selfish Vanderburgh County pol
iticians.

The Richmond Convention

RICHMOND, June lIth.-The Convention
assembled at noon. Gov. Lubbock, o.
Texas, was called to the chair, and returned
thanks He deemed his selection as a com.
pliment to his State he trusted they had
assembled for triumph of principles and
not for plunder, and that if their principles
are repudiated they will go before the coun-
try as the true Democratic party, with theil
principles emblazoned on their banner.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr.. Bur-
roughs.
The States were called New York re.
sponded amidst immense applause. A lIs
of delegates appointed by the trustees of the
National Democrat Hall of the State ofNew
York was handed in. The delegate who
presented the credentials is Thaddeus T
Mott, who is here as the alternate of Gideon
J. Tucker, who is delayed by serious i'll
ness He said that time did not permit the
calling of State Convention. but he was
assured by the President that 5 or l6 mem
bers of the Committee approved of the del
egation and desired they should represent
the State in the Richmond Convention.
The presentation created quite a stir and
much surprise. 1t is supposed to be a move
in favor of Dickinson. New York members
of the press do not understand the move
ment.
All the seeding States are represented
except Delaware.
Mr.. Barry, of Mississippi, moved the ap.
pointment of committee of one from each
State on permanent organization.
At l o'clock the Convention adjourned
till 10 tomorrow.
Mayor Wood has sent word here that the
New York delegation represents nobody, and
the impression is here that they will be re-
pudiated by the Convention.
There will be little or no discussion in
public; everything will be settled in COM
mittee, and all differences of opinion accom-
modated. There is no doubt that the Con-
vention will close tomorrow, to await the
action at Baltimore.

THE CINCINNATI AND LOUISVILLE THEA
TRICAL CoMPANY.-This popular troupe of
dramatic artists is again with US, and will
give an entertainment at Mozart Hall this
evening at which some new attractions will
be presented. Since their late visit to our
city they have received an important acces-
sion to their number in the persons of the
accomplished danseuse Miss Bella Llewel-
lyn, and Harry Rowland, who is well
known and deservedly popular among the
theatre-goers of our city. The bill for this
evening is a splendid one The entertain
ment opens with the thrilling drama of the
MANIAC LOVER or THE FAIR Lass OF LITCH-
FIELD. Mr. q. D. Chaplin appears in his
great impersonation of the Maniac Lover
During the piece, the iavorite Miss Fanny
Denham will sing one of her charming
ballads, and Miss Bella LIewellyn will exc
cute her grand medley dance. Miss Den
hams singing alone should draw a full
house to hear her. The evening will con-
clude with the roaring farce of q In and Out
of Place." in which Miss Denham will per-
senate ice different characters, sing three
songs and dance three dances. The patrons
of the drama shonld go by all means, and
our word for it they will not be dis
appointed.

The Richmond Convention.

| We gather the following particulars con-
cerning the Richmond Conven ton from va
rious sources:
| The delegates from Florida have arrived.
| They are instructed not to go to Baltimore,
| There is considerable excitement this even
! ing about the hotels; people are discussing
the probable dissolution of the Union
| Several of the Virginia delegates to Balti-
more assert that they will secede if the Rich
mond delegates are not admitted. The
Alabama delegates say they go to Baltimore
hoping that they will not be admitted, be-
lieving all the the Southern States will
/ Join them in case they are excluded, whic
with Oregon and California, will give
them seventeen States.
There are two delegates from Tennessee,
and two from Virginia. The Gulf States
are fully represented.
There viii be an adjournment on We'd
nesday to Baltimore.
The delegates from the Cotton States say
the recent Douglas meetings down there
were mere swindles on the public. Their
county meetings were only attended by
from four to fifteen men, and not half the
counties were represented in their so-called
State Conventions. Conventions endorsing
the seceders were multitudinous.
The fre-eaters say, letthe Douglasites ex-
pei them at Baltimore if they dare. They
will then draw off with them a majority of
the delegations from Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia and North Carolinia-also, the Pa
cifc States. Then they want Douglass
friends to nominate him, as he would be
the weakest man they could nominate, and
could not, they say, carry one Southern
State. The charge Of disunion is indig-
nantly denied by Yancey, Rhett, and all
the rest.
There have already two difficulties
turned up respecting the Baltimore Com
vention. The City Democratic Commit
tee at Baltimore, friendly to Douglas have
engaged the Front Street Theater for the
Convention, so as to let in all the outside
pressure. The State Committee, enemies
of Douglas, have engaged Market Hall,
where the outsiders could not operate.
Judge Smalley, of the old National Com
mittee, is put up by the Douglasites to
admit by tickets, all the Douglas Cotton
State delegates on the floor. Chairman
Cushing will admit the regular delegates
and exclude the others. Thus, there is
fight about the hall and about tickets of
admission.

From Richmond.

RICHMOND, June l0.-Robert G. Scott OF
Alabama addressed the citizens of Richmond
last night, defending the Southern move
ment at Charleston, and denying that it was
q disunion movement, but one to save the
Union, by maintaining equal protection to
all. He denounced Donglas and squatter
sovereignty in unmeasured terms. If the
Richmond Convention adjourned to Balti-
more, he would there insist upon the same
platform as at Charleston. If it was refus-
ed, he would come back to Richmond
MIR. Fisher of Virginia also spoke, vindi-
eating his course at Charleston
Nearly all the delegates from Louisiana,
Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia South
Carolina, and Florida had arrived.
There is diversity of opinion as to the
course to pursue, though nearly all are
agreed to go to Baltimore to contest the
seats of the Douglas claimants before taking
final action.
The difficulty is, whether they shall re-
sumo their seats, if granted them, unless
the platform is rescinded. The Louisiana
delegates demand of Virginia that the dele
gates should pledge themselves to withdraw,
if the seceders are not admitted to their
seats; il being contended that if Virginia
will pursue this course, North Carolina,
Kentucky, Tennessee, and part of Mary
land will follow suit, and that Cushing will
resign and leave the chair.
The position of the New York delegates
is auxiously discussed. 1t is contended by
some, who have been to New York sounding
the delegates, that they are ready to aban-
don Douglas; while others claim that they
are more firmly welded to Douglas than
ever, since the withdrawal of Mr.. Seymour:
and some of them express the determine
ton TO oppose the admission of any delegates
who are accredited to the Richmond Con-
vention, on the ground that they are disor-
ganizers, and not National Democrats.

The Japanese i'm PhiIadeIph1a.

PHILADELPHIA, June l1.-The Japanese
are keeping quiet.
The reported assassination of the Tycoon
was communicated to Capt. Dupont early
this morning, but he having doubts of the
authority of the intelligence has deemed it
proper not to divulge it to the Commission
ers, preferring to wait instructions from
Washington, and the arrival of more def
mite information. The present programme
would doubtless be broken up if the intelli-
gence should be communicated to the mem
bers of the Embassy and they believed in
its truth. The Naval Commission suppose,
if the report is not entirely unfounded, that
it is the Regent who is killed, and not the
Tycoon, who is lad of II years.

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.-We publish to-
day the report of the New Orleans market,
June lst, from circular kindly sent to US
by Messrs. GIVEN, WATTS & Co. This is
not as late as we should like 0 get the 1e-
port, but it is the best we are able to do just
now. We think we shall have arrange
ments made soon by which We shall be able
to publish the report when it is not more
than a week old.
We are frequently asked why we do not
publish a telegraphic report of that mar
ket. Simply because a monopoly holds
the Southern telegraph lines, and none of
the newspapers can get the market. The
Cincinnati, Louisville, and st. Louis papers
all have to do without it; so we have good
company.

Our Wholesale Market Review.


For few days-during the galvanic life
that was given to the Board of Trade last
spring by the persistent efforts of few of
our most energetic citizens and the city
Preserve received from the Board and
published regular market reports, predicated
on actual sales. These reports, published
in our Daily and then transferred to our
Weekly, were extensively copied by the
country press. They gave tone to the
market which was very gratifying, and
would have been permanently beneficial if
the reports had been kept up. But after try
ing again and again to induce the members
of the Board to report their sales, and find
ing these efforts vain,w gave up in despair.
A few ofthe members showed a commenda-
BILE public spirit, but the most of them were
not willing to take any trouble to carry out
an enterprise which would surely have re-
suited to the advantage of the city and
every person in it.
We have now commenced getting up
Market Report for ourselves, and shall en-
and reliable We mean to keep 1t up and
hope in the enterprise we shall have the CO.
operation of the business men of the city
Our Reporter will make his regular rounds,
and we will cordially thank all who give
him any assistance, tender to him any sug-
gestions, or furnish him any facts in rela-
tion to business matters.
