EIopement of Rich Mans Daughter
win q Eickpocket.

win q Ficl<pocket.
On Wednesday last, the daughter of a
Mr. Kohlhammer, IL very wealthy citi-
zen of Milwaukee, and known as IA large
wholesale flour dealer, together with his
servant girl, ran away from Milwaukee.
The servant girl, it appears, who had
made the acquaintance of noted pick
pocket in Chicago, received letter from
him few days since, urging her to come
here, and if possible bring Mr.. X. S
daughter with her.
The daughter, who is very respecta
BILE girl and quite a lady in appearance,
prevailed upon by the wiles Of the serv-
ant girl, took $50 of her fathers money
and came to Chicago ON Wednesday with
the servant girl, who had managed to
get S35 out of her own folks. They
first went to boarding house on the
corner of La Sale and Michigan streets,
but remained there only one night, and
next day went to No. 421 Canal street
The father in the meantime came on
in hot pursuit of the fugitives, and off
Ger Walker was put on their track. BY
waiting at the depot and following up
their trunk, he discovered their wherea
bouts, arrested them and gave them over
to the father, who departed last night
with the runaways for Milwaukee. The
daughter evidently was the victim Of
those foolish romantic notions about
clipping, which are SO prevalent nowa-
DAYS, instilled into the youth Of our
country by the Sylvanus Cobb litera-
ture of the land, while the servant girl.
destitute of the romance, was making a
practical thing of it, by getting together
all the money she could and joining hel

were confident of the success of their fa-

A Southern Opinion of the Northern Del
egates to CharlestOn.

A Southern editor, corresponding with
his paper, writes as follows:
High prices for board, the hot eli
mate, the fear of yellow fever and sSouth
ern assassination, has rid the Conven-
ton and the city of many annoyances.
Such is the dread of assassination by the
Yankees, that it is almost impossible to
toll them from their quarters after night
fall. They retire early, pray for the
nomination of Douglas and their imme-
diate delivery from so hot climate
They try very hard to act like South
erners by eating rice and turnip salad
but invariably retire from the table with
potatoes and a lump Of salt in their pock-
cts.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.


Many delegates to the Republican
Convention have already arrived The
active friends of Bates, Cameron and
others are here, but there are no Seward
leaders on the ground.
There is some doubt about Seward s
course. The doubtful States are so en-
phatic against him that it may be set
down as certain that he will not be nom
mated.
Governor Chase has been damaged by
the rumor that he is favoring Seward
This rumor his friends believe to be un-
founded.
Banks will be presented by Massachu-
sets.
Of the Illinois delegates, nineteen are
anti-Seward. and three only Seward men.
Lincoln will be earnestly pressed by
this delegation.
There is some talk of adopting rule
in the Convention, requiring majority
of the whole electoral vote to nominate.
The Baltimore nominations are re-
garded as unfavorablc to Stewards pros
poets.
Iowa is for Mclean or Bates. Mime
sofa is probably for Seward. A ma Or
ity of the Southern vote is claimed for
Seward. If he is candidate, he will
have about 20 votes on the first ballot.
1t is expected that the Convention
will be harmonious. There will be no
trouble about a platform.
Mclean and Wade are not much can
vassed as yet.
Frank p Blair, Sr., is here. He
thinks Douglas will be nominated by the
Democracy, and that the United strength
of the Richmond and the Constitutional
Union movements will not prevent him
from carrying all the South.

THE BALTlMoRE CONVENTION.

A Convention of professional Union
savers met at the city of Baltimore, on
the 7th inst, according to order, and in
less than two days performed the stupen-
dous feat of nominating John Bell, OF
Tennessee, for President, and Edward
Everett, of Massachusetts, for Vice Pres
ident.
They also s'resolved" that any plat
form they could adopt would be con-
etrued differently in different localities,
and so they would adopt no platform
but aThc Union, the Constitution, and
the Laws" Ifeverybody who is in favor
of this platform could be induced to vote
the ticket, it would be elected by an
overwhelming majority.
But, unfortunately for the hopes of
the candidates, the people, before voting,
will be apt to ask how these patriotic
gentlemen interpret the Constitution
We have slight impression that it is
interpreted differently in different local
ties and the character of the chief ac-
Tors IN this grand Council will make
thoughtful citizens hesitate before they
throw away their votes on this ticket.
It is not to be denied that there were
some very respectable gentlemen of by
gone age, who amused themselves in this
performance. Neither is it to be denied
that the, controlling influence was the
mestintense,pro- -slaveryism of the South.
The controlling spirits, and the Southern
editors who support the movement are SO
intensely Southern, that theirwhole capi-
tai consists in denouncing, not only the
Republicans, but the. Democratic party,
sud even the iSouth6rso Democrats, as
