The National Union Convention.

Discussion is quite rife in some of the met
ropolitan papers of the country, on the ques-
ton Of postponing the National Convention
from June till September. The New York,
Times takes sensible view of the matter. 1t
says:
"The sooner the nomination can be made
the better. The decision of that question will
remove the only peril that threatens us in the
coming canvass. The great body ofthe Union
party will undoubtedly support the nominee
Of the Convention, as the Tribune assumes !;
the sooner, therefore, the candidate is selected
the sooner shall we have that united and hear
tysupporti which is SO important to the coun-
try and the cause. And the longer it is delay
Cd the longer viii that united and harmonious
action be postponed.
It's alleged that an early convention is favor
able TO Mr.. Lincoln's denomination, and that
Its postponement is therefore due to his oppon-
ents. There may be good logic in this but
we don't see 1t. We believe it to be true that
the great body of the people composing the
Union party desire Mr.. Lincolns renomina-
ton; and we have no doubt that Jealous and
intriguing politicians, who seek to prevent it !,
could be able, with three or four months Of
time at their command, to create a good deal
ofhostilty and devise good many ingenious
schemes for deceiving or defeating the popular
will.
Beyond this VIC do not see what could be ac-
compiished; and for this, we certainly do not
think the convention should be postponed
We cannot afford to waste the whole summer
In personal wrangles over the nomination
Such contentious waste our own trength, and
and encourage and aid the common enemy.
Let US st once select our standard bearer.
The sooner this is done, the sooner shall we
all rally to the support oil the Union in the po-
Atical canvass and on the battlefield, and
every blow struck In the one will tell upon the
other Also"

CAIRO, Ill, April s.
Conllscated goods to the amount of S49-
600, consisting mostly of cotton and sugar,
were sold here to-day by order of the U. s..
District Court. Eighteen hundred bales of
cotton yet remain TO be sold: POP bales OF
mixed and inferior quality sold at auction for
Al 81 lie per pound. Over 100 bales of
cotton have been brought up by the naval dis
patch boat New National, from Red River !;
also 9-inch Dahlgren guns, being parts of
the armament of Fort DeRussy. They once
belonged to the Harriet Lane and Indianola.
1t was the steamer Joe Pages that was
sunk by the Gen. Anderson, not the Carrie
Jobs.
The steamer Forsyth has been released and
left for Memphis. Several thousand dollars
worth of contraband goods were found in
her hold. The first clerk is held for examn-
alton.
The election returns received, indicate
that Hummich, republican, has probably been
elected Judge of the 18th Circuit.
Memphis cotton market better and tending
upwards. Others unchanged. Receipts 800
bales; ordinary to good 55 90 low middling

ARrEMUs WARD.-The Oxford Democrat
says-Artemus Ward returned from his extern
ded tour, on Saturday, I'd inst. He went to
California last fall, and made highly success
fal lecture season in that State during the
winter. Returning by the overland route
he had a severe attack of fever at Salt Lake
city, which it was feared at one time might
prove fatal. Recovering, party of Indians
fancying his appearance, "gobbled" him up,
and he was only released on the Intervention
of Brigham Young In Kansas he was taken
in charge by the editorial fraternity, and voted
all the privileges and immunities of "Kansas

Trunk railway. Artemus is looking very thin,
as though the purse has had the chief profit,
of the trip.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY Robbery The
Pennington Patriot says an attempt was made
to rob Mr.. Washington Keen, of Salem, near
the Devils Elbow" in Strong, a few days
since, by two ruiiians strangers to him, one OF
whom seized his horse by the bride, and the
other presented arevolver at Mr. KS head and
told him to get ont of the carriage and let him
have the horse or he would blow his brains
out. Mr.. Keen seized his whip and giving the
horse smart blow, which sent the one hold of
the bride sprawling in the mud, drove off. The
rufiian who was in the mud was helped out by
his comrade, but concluded it not best to fol-

Mr.. LovEJoY ON THE PREsIDENr.-The
Liberator publishes letter received by Mr..
Garrison from the late Owen Loyejoy, written
Feb. %, which begins as follows:
Il write you, although i'll health compels
me to do il by the hand of another, to ex.
press to you my qualification at the position
you have taken in reference to Mr.. Lincoln.
/ am satisfied, as the old theologians used to
say in regard to the world that if he is not
the best conceivable President, he is the best
possible. | have known something Of the
fact inside during his administration, and l
know that he has been just as radical as any
of his Cabinet. And although he does not do
everything that you or | would like. the ques-
ton recurs, whether it is likely we can elect a
man who would. 1t is evident that the great
mass of Unionists perfer him for reelection
and it seems to Inc certain that the provi-
dence of God during another term, will
grind slavery to powder. l believe now that
the President is up with the average of the
House,"
