VICTIM.

The venerable Thomas Ewing Of Ohio
has written tedious letter app owing the
Randall-Doolittle call. He says that the
p esdeat was bound to forget his personal
wrongs, bis gratuitous, bat solsan promis-
es TO the contrary. 1t is idle, says Mr..
Ewing, to impugn the motives aud apply
personal abuse to thoss who differ with us
in political opinions, to call names, to use
contemptaous epshets, aud thus depreciste
personally those whose arguments we fnd
to be unanswerabls. II 10 simply the
sbuae Of this forbesrsnce that compelled
the loyslists to seek legal security 10 an
amended Constitution. The lawfulness of
the Convention is sustained by the Gov
ernor, who yet admits that the question
was for the Courts to decide but docs not,
yield 10 the judgement Of mob. He sm
phstically declares that the riot was prear-
ranged by the leading Rebels, Mayor Mon
roe included. and holds justly that security
Of loyal men, and the peace of the Govern
ment depends upon impartial suffrage.

judicial Convention at Madison.

The Convention was called to order at
1P. NJ. and organized by electing Peter
Hitchcock, of Geauga, President, Chas
Hall of Ashtabula, V. President, T. S.
Winship and w. M. Eames of Ashtabu-
Ia Secretaries.
On motion, K. III. Fitch, of Ashtabula,
w. w. Nevison, Of Lake,
and ID. w. Garfield of Geauga,
were appointed by the chair as COM
mittee on credentials. Before they went
out, resolution was adopted authorizing
the delegations to report names to the
committee on credentials, to fill any va
cancies in their respective counties, and
the names Of n. %. Lee, for Leroy, by
the Lake delegation, and G. G. Field, for
Parkman, q Ii. Il. Woodbury. for Munson,
by the Geauga delegation, were announ-
ced. After an absence of half an hour, the
committee returned, and before being al
lowed to report, were instructed not to
report the name of any one, living
out of the town in which the vacancy
existed, provided there was any Union
man present, residing in the town.
The committee reported that all who
had credentials be considered delegates,
and that j. X. Eddy, who resided in Lee
roy, should represent that town, and G.
G. Field, the town of Parkman, and L.
K. Durfee, who was in favor Of Judge
Hitchcock, the town Of MunsOn, aud stat
ed that Mr.. Durfee was nominated because
the township of Munson had, at prima-
ny meeting, chosen delegate opposed to
Mr. Chaffee, and instructed him to vote
for Judge Hitchcock, and Mr.. WOodbu-
ry, who was nominated by the Geauga
delegation, was conceded to be in favor of
Mr.. Chaffee. The committee considered
that the township was entitled to a fair
representation, or at least TO be guarded
from misrepresentation, a. Il would be
by admitting Mr.. Woodbury..
A motion was made to adopt the re-
port of the committee, and after brisk
discussion, was lost by 81 to a2 or aa

In reference to Thomas Ewing's long
letter approving the l4th of August
Gray Back Convention, some one perti-
nently remarks: at has always been
our opinion that within reasonable time
after a man dies he should be buried
Mr.. Ewing has been dead these many
years" 1t seems peculiarly appropriate,
however, that dead politicians should
indorse a movement which can never
have any life among the masses of the

Gift Oonoerts-A Letter Of Inquiry.
O the Editor of the Chicago Republicao,

OMAHA, Ma, Aug. g., 1865.
Having been induced by recommends
tions of the proprietors, in your paper,
to invest in the UNITED States Prize
Concert" of Wiggins, Bradford & Co.,
which has been two or three times post
poned, 1 would like to enquire if the
drawing has yet taken place, if it is cx-
epected that it will ever do so, or if it
ever intended to come Off Or if, as inti-
mated in paper in your city, the con-
Germ is only an extensive swindle? An
answer to these questions, through the
columns of your paper, will probably
interest a great many persons, and will
certainly oblige one, who is now inclined
to regard himself as VICTIM.
ANswER.-We know nothing of the
reliability of the firm mentioned, or of
the many others who have advertised in
the REPUBLICAN. We print their adver-
tisements as such, at our regular rates,
as do other journals of this and other
cities. We do not invest in such concerts
ourselves, and we advise others not to do
so; but of the probabilities of making a
fortune in such enterprises, the public
must be their own judges. We have no
knowledge whether or not the drawing
mentioned will ever take place; we think
it extremely improbable that any lot
terry concern can sell 500, 900 tickets, and
the magnitude of the undertaking ought
to have awakened doubts of its success
in the minds of rejecting people.

fthe chairman not being able to deter
mine which.)
: Al motion was then made TO appoint
Mr.. Durfee TO fill the vacancy. This al
SO created some feeling, and gave rise to
an animated discussion. The friends of
Mr.. Chaffee contended that the Geauga
delegation had the right TO name the
person to. fill the vacancy, while the
opponents claimed that no one had the
right TO cause the town to be misrepre-
sented. Motion lost. 1t was then moved
that B. b.. Woodbury. be. appointed
The rank injustice of that proceeding,
was. fairly shown and the majority were
urged TO regard the demands of justice
and the rights of the township, but IN
vain.. A final vote showed that success
was the only thing which the friends OF
Mr.. Chaffee labored for, and MIR. Wood
bury was chosen by small majority
At this point, Judge Bissell of Lake,
announced that the name of Mr.. Sherman
was not to be presented to the conven-
tion. and after such an exhibition of in
Justice on the part of the friends of MIR.
Chafee, he could not in honor present
tho name Of Judge Hitchcock, or longer
continue q member of the body. Where.
upon no, with a large number of the dele
gates, including all the officers of the
convention, except the chairman, retired
from the hall.
WV. :; y. NJ. Il 'Ts.,ra EAMns, secrosarios
The above, we believe gives q pretty
fair Wow of the proceedings of tho con-
vention up to the time of the hegira,
and we have onlyto add, that after com
pleting its organization by the appoint.
mentof another secretary, Judge Chaffec
was made the nominee of the conven'
ton, as then constituted, by acclamation.
Judge Chaffee was then called in, and
proceeded to express his thanks to the
Convention for their action in comforting
the nomination.
After the delegates had withdrawn
from the convention, call was made
that they should Immediately assemble
at the Hotel. All of the delegates which
withdrew, then met and organized by
appointing B. Bissell chairman, and VIM
M. Eamcs and 7. s. Winship, as Sccre
taries
On molten it was unanimously resolv
ed, that the action of the other conven
ton, was unjust and unfair, and thai
it showed clear determination Of thai
convention to override the wishes of tn,
| people, and that committee of three
from each county, bc appointed by th'
chirman, to call Mass Convention, t.
meet at such time and place as they shal
designate, to nominate candidate 70

appointed. On motion tho Convention

Tho Rev. Mr. Parks one Of the Editors Of

was disappointed in two respects He is
not 30 great speaker ss l expected. and he is
a better preacher than | expected. There is
no rant, nor rage, nor fustian nor clap-trap
about his manner or matter Ho is scarcely a
vehement speaker. He delivered his message
in simplicity and intense earnesiness. His ser
mons are dreDched and saturated with the

His allusion to the sacrament. ia worthy Of a
glance, and perhaps a thought or two, as it
stands rather in contrast with the views and
practice of those Of the same creed hereabouts !:
Closing with the apostolic benediction,
he invited all the members of the sister
churches to meet him and his church in a
room below and unite in the Lords Supper, and
tickets would be given to strangers applying at
the door. DESTROYS ofjoining my bretheren in
this ordinance, and wishing to be certain that
the invitation included other than Baptists, as
this is the largest Baptist church in the world,
l went to the room wkere the deacons were
distributing the cards and said, 81 am a Presby-
terian from New York, shall l 60 in7" Seer

have worshipped. The service was BRIEF sim
