In another part Of to.day's Register
will be found the most important portion
Of the proceedings Of the Democratic
State Convection, which met at Des Moines
on the 24lh u!,
The convention was very fortunate in
the selection Of candidates We doubt
whether there are better men in the State
Of Iowa than those placed in nomination
for the offices of Governor, Lieut.. Govern.
or and Supreme Judge They are men
who by education and experience are
cminently fitted for the positions for
which they are respectively Nominated. In
political sentiment. in loyalty Of purpose
and devotion to the well.beins Of the Gov.
ernmen., they are just the men to become
the guardians Of lowas des,iry in the
present condition Of public affairs. High
minded, noble and patriotic, they would
allow nc considerations Of party policy to
swerve them from the high aim Of sus.
tanning the Government with all the re-
sources which Iowa can command.
All Of them have been long and favora.
bly, known. as men no less eminent for
their fitness than their integrity. Their

The Great Frauds of Mires, tho Fa.
kmOus Partisan Banker--Sketch of
his Life--His Mode of Ope ton.

The telegraph has already announced the ex.
tensive frauds of Mires, the French Banker and
the Paris correspondent of the New York Times
gives these interesting particulars in his letter
dated February -:
The final crash arrived on Sunday last, thanks
to the honest and determined efforts of the Min
ister of the Interior. So closely were the people
about the Emperor's persOn--for example. the
Count de MOrny, Count Walewski and General
Fleury-repOrted to be in league with NJ Mires
that il seems a majority of the Cabinet were in
favor of covering the affair up in order to avoid
the scandal. Mres himself wrote IA letter to the
Emperor, threatening that if he were driven to
the wall, he would make such exposure as would
shake his Majesty's throne to its foundation. But
Nj. de Persigny, with an uprightness which en-
titles him to the gratitude of the nation, declared
that, scandal or 10 scandal, justice must be done
and the Emperor coinciding in this view of the
case, it was decided that the course of NJ Mires
should be cut short and his affairs investigated
he was arrested on Sunday, and at first carried to
the prison of the Conciergerie, but there being no
secret chambers there, he was transferred the
same day TO the Prison Mazas, where he is closely
guarded, and from whence it will be difficult to
attack the throne for the present.
In 1915 Nj. Mres lived in garret-in other
words he was poor man. But he is q jew and
shrewd man, and with the natural money max.
ing instinct of his race, saw the revolution was
/ the favorable moment fer a man like himself to
fall into the current of public affairs, and to see
whether fortune was not in his favor His first
essay was in the then deprecated government
stocks; this succeeded, and he went on from one
successful coup to another, until in le60 NJ.
Mers had arrived at the head of 50 900 900 francs
and had become great rival, and we NAV add
torment, to NJ. de Rothschild He was Director
General of the combined treasury of the French
Railway Companies, position in which he was
intrusted with hundreds of millions of money be-
longing to others ; he was the founder and head
of the great dock Improvement at Marseiles.

Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-03-27

The Hon. 7. G. Hindman, of Arkansas, was
the only Southern man in the u s. Congress who
voted against the amendment to the Constitution
proposed by Mr. Corwin, prohibiting Congress
from ever interfering with slavery by the States
1T will be remembered what sensation was
created by the resignation of Judge Magrath, of
Charleston, Judge of the United States District
Court. He had most lucrative position, and
had comparatively little to do. His resignation
was the consequence of motives of undoubted
purity. He appointed Secretary of State,
upon the secession of South Carolina and now
instead of the life of dignifei ease he used to
live, he is said to be every mans servant and the
hardest worker in Charleston. A correspondent
says that he is pale and worn-his counte
nance showing the effects of his unceasing labor
and the wearing of that sorrow which spoke in
every word he uttered when he resigned Office
under the United States Government and stated
his reasons for that step.
