The Republican judicial Convention met last
evening, and nominated as candidates at the
ensuing election: Thomas w. Clerke, for
Judge of Supreme Court Lewis B. Woodruff
and Murray Hoffman, for Judges of the Su-
periOr Court; John II. Brady, for Judge OF
the Court of Common Pleas; r. A. Adams,
for Judge of Marine Court, and A. Oakley
Hall for District Attorney. The Convention
however, appointed Committee to confer with
Committees of other Conventions in relation to
the two last nominations, so that it is under
stood we presume, that these are not to be
considered as final. Judge Clerke and Mr..
Brady are both Democrats.

"gone down to tho sea in ships" But the winds
and the waves have weighed her, and in this also
she is found wanting. Not only does she
want this quality of comfort and Of safety, but
the helpless mnss tossed in its huge proper
tiOns from billow to billow, and rolled down
into the trough Of the sea, dashes her helpless
passengers against her iron sides to crush
them, body and bones. as they fall. She is no
longer a noble ship, the last and best handi-
work of man, a triumph over the forces OF
nature, but q floating island, the sport Of
three days earthquake, on which men are tossed
about by the restless waters helpless and hope
less, amid the crash and wreck of universal
ruin.
The account of her last voyage may be found
ia another column. She encountered the dan
ger which nautical men have always appre-
hended might sometime befall her, and when
she would become unmanageable. An accident
to the rudder made it impossible to hold her
head to the wind, and she became the mere
sport of the storm Without steersge-way, her
huge bulk made her oil the more unmanageable.

probably ever before experienced without gong
to pieces or laundering The difficulty oil get
ting any temporary steering apparatus upon
her was, from the same cause, all the
greater. Thus her size, which was to prove
her great superiority over all other vessels has
proved her misfortune. SO long as she was
free from accident her advantages, in certain
respects, were unquestiOnabe; but there can
be no such immunity in any human cOntrivance,
and precisely when accident was most likely to
happen to her was precisely the time when she
was the least calculated to guard against, to
encounter, or TO repair it, Her great strength
unquestionably saved her from total shPwreck,
but probably no men ever came out of such a
disaster alive such with a tale OF suffering.
1t is fortunate that her inability to cope with
prolonged and violent storm has been shown
without the loss of the ship and all on board
of her.

A PRACTICAL MATTER.

Though the Government has bought Oil the
Blankets fit for soldiers use in the country,
and is taking all that are either imported or
made as fast as they can be had, Volunteers
are now Aocking to the National standard faster
than fit Blankets can be found for them, while
at this season soldiers cannot take and keep
the field without good substantial pair per
man. u. S. Quartermaster General Meigs
calls therefore, upon patriotic citizens to give
their Bankets--no matter if somewhat worn
to meet this pressing cxigency. Good Blankets
will be paid for, if that is required, but let
us not think Of that. Ten thousand pairs of
good, servieeable Blankets can be sent in to
the Quartermasters' quarters in our several
cities within three days, if oil who can spare
one or more will consecrate them at once to
the couutrJ's cause. Those out Of the cities
should send theirs by express to tho nearest
large city, addressed simply to "Quartermaster

Mr.. Willis Visits the President.

N =. Willis, who is writing war let
ters on tinted note paper at Washington,
gives his impressions Of Mr.. Lincoln in
last weeks Home Journal:
"The President, of course, is not to be
spoken with, except upon urgent bust
ness, in these days but chance gave me
a very pleasant exchange of few words
with him last evening. Passing across
the interior hall at the White House,
toward the driving room where Mis-.
without ceremony, met the chief mag
istrate on his way from the tea room to
his Office. Evidently thinking that was
in search of himself, he stopped, shook
hands, and looked inquiringly; upon
which l introduced myself, apologized
for the interruption, and stood back to
let him pass. But, having thus been
made to know me, he took the occasion
to obviatc embarrassment by few apt
words, and ended by most courteously
showing me the way to Mrs. Lincoln S
reception room.
With my four or five years of court
life In Europe, had never seen that
awkward matter for a high functionary,
an unexpected and brief interview with a
stranger, more admirably and winningly
done It vas ch characteristic, for there was
no ceremony about it; but while ii was
full Of tact toward me, it was quite as
full Of simple dignity for himself. Tho
not courtly manner, it was what courtly
manner tries to initiate a mien and
presence too absolutely natural and direct
for Brummel' to approve, but which
would have been exceedingly admired by
a Wellington or Palmerston.. It is I'M.
possible to look in Mr.. Lincoln's face,
and hear him speak few words, without
believing in him. He looks as honest as
he does tall-and he is taller than most
people-while, in the absorbent openness
of his frank eyes, and the ready intelli-
gence of his features and his express
sion, there is plenty Of promise Of ca
pability."

The Government must be maintained, its
enemies overthrow, and the more stu.
pendous our preparations the less blood
shed, and the shorter the struggle. But
we must remember certain restraints on
our action even in time Of civil war
We are a Christian people, and the war
must be prosecuted in manner recog-
nized by Christian nations.
We must not invade Constitutional
rights. The inpocent must not suffer,
nor women and children be the victims.
Savages must not be let loose. But while
l sanction no wat on the rights Of 9th
ers, will implore my countrymen not to
lay down their arms until their own
rights are recognized
The Constitution and its guarantees
are our birthright, and am ready to en-
force that inalienable right to the last
exteut. We cannot recognise secession.
Recognise it once, and you have not on
ly destroyed the government, but have
destroyed social order, upturned the
foundations Of society. You have inau-
gurated monarchy in its worst form, and
will shortly experience all the horrors OF
the French Revolution.
Then We have solemn duty-to main
tain the Government. The greater our
unanimity the specdier the day Of peace.
We have prejudices to overcome from the
few short months since Of fierce party
contest. Yet these must be allayed. Let
us lay aside all Grimm atious aud recrimi.
nations as to the origin of these Difficult
ties. When We have again a country
with the United States flag floating over
it, and respected on every inch of Amer.
lean soil, it will then be time enough to
ask who and what brought this war up
on US.
I have said more than intended to say

l thank you again for this magnificent
demonstration. BY it you show you have
laid aside party strife. Illinois has a
proud position; united, firm, determined
never to permit the Government to bc

cheers were given to Mr.. Douglas, who
was escorted to his hotel by the Com

A Dangerous Ink.


An ingenious Partisan ststioner, who
for some years past has taken up his
abode at Shanghai, has returned to Par
is, bringing with him curious Chinese
invention. This extraordinary discovery
consists in the composition Of paper
which can be made to last as long as one
wishes, by the use of water or eau ma
gique. The paper must be beforehand
prepared, by some means known only to
the buyer and seller, and is then saturat-
ed with the water which is colorless,
tasteless, and scentless. The length of
of time that one desires the paper to last
is regulated by the introduction of pure
water to weaken the effect For instance,
if the paper is to be decomposed within
six days, the eau nsogique is put on with
out adulteration if month, certain
quantity of pure water is to be used -
With this paper, then, the willy Chinese
write their billet dour, taking care, how
ever, that the corrosive water and their
passion shall be Of the same weight. The
water is called Divine Ink" and the
paper Exquisite Prudence" If Di.
vine Ink and Exquisite Prudence take
up their permanent abode in civilized
countries, what death blow twill be to
all breach of promise suits, which, for
the most part, at least, are founded on
love letters, written promises, etc. And
then, again, how many dishonest persons
would sign promiesory notes, knowing
that, thanks to the encre diuine, their
signature would soon disappear in fact,
such an invention is . most dangerous
one, reversing the present order Of
things, and opening wide field for ras'
