Treasury Matters.


WASHINGTON, June 2O,-It appears from
letter of the Secretary Of the Treasury, ad-
dressed to the House of Representatives in
reply to a resolution Of that body, that since
the LIST of January Sl,55O,OOO Ten-forty
bonds were purchased, at rates ranging
from 9O4 to 923. These bonds, which have
been cancelled, may be regarded as Pur
chase on account of the sinking fund, or as
a reduction of so much of the public debt.
The bonds sold since January last were
1859 900, for S23, ,46l, $50. In addIyOn to
these, S7,947,70O were EXCHANGED for 7-3O
notes. and a small amount of certificates of
Indebtedness previous 10 the lst of January.
The notes and certificates being received by
the Department at the time the bonds were
delivered, but for lack Of time 10 make the
necessary calculation of interest and the
proper entries upon the books, the account
Of the agent was not settled and the amount
of bonds delivered and notes received in
exchange was not entered upon the public
debt until February, and did not appear in
the published statement until the Ist Of
March. II is also proper to remark that
50, IA, 600 in $50 bonds, S3,717 900 Of which
were issued under the act of March 3, 1854,
and which by the schedule appears to have
been sold in January and February, were
not entered as part of the public debt un-
I'll March, and did not appear upon the pub
lie statement until April lst.

Especial Dispatch to the Cleveland LEADERI
The Convention met in EIlsler's Atheneum
this morning at half after ten o'clock.
The several Congressional district deleCa-
tiCns had previously met in different offices
of the State House, for the purposes of se-
lecting their representatives on the various
committees. The building was crowded
with delegates and spectators, and the Sol
diers Home Band was in attendance.
Judge Rush K. Sloan called the Conven-
ton to order, and made a brief speech con-
graduating the Convention on its fullness
and upon the ability and character of the
delegates. He declared that there existed
no difference of opinion among the mem
bers on vital questions. All were agreed
that the Union must be perpetual, that Sc
cession is an obsolete idea, that treason is a
crime, that slavery is and of right ought to
be forever abolished, and that liberty and
freedom should be forever preserved.
[Great applause Judge Sloan proceeded
COY mat If we lnssss Iavaltv ,a CON
dition of restoration, all will be we'll IeC
us yield all for harmony but firm principles.
Let us make great concessions TO accom-
plish these glorious objects.
He concluded by introducing Rev. Gran
Vile Moody, who delivered prayer.
Judge George Hoadley, of Cincinnati,
was then nominated for temporary chairman
The nomination was received with ap-
plauss, and Judge Hoadley was elected by
a unanimous vote On coming forward
he thanked the convention for the personal
compliment paid him in the nomination,
and made brief, eloquent and radical
address. His reference 10 Salmon P.
Chase as the wisest statesman he had ever
known elected great applause. He de-
clared that the wisely patriotic and faith
full labors of our noble Congress showed
that the spirit of Individual liberty stood as
the work of the wise and true men of this
as of past generations. [Great applause
Col. James NJ. Nash, of Mahoning county,
was then elected temporary Secretary, with
Col. James Irwin, of Coshocton, and Jacob

OF two countries which trade freely

A funny story is told of a medium who pre-
tended to conjure up spirits. At one of his
sea1'ces simple looking Quaker asked II he
could have a spirit.
Certainly" was the obliging reply.
Whom will you have 20
" Moses, If you please"
After a little preliminary Spiritualism, the
medium exclaimed,
"rhe spirit is present. What do you wish
to say
But just at that moment the lights grew
dim, and amidst dead silence, the side door
opened, and venerable figure, with long
beard, pale visage, sunken eyes, and long fiow-
ing, ancient, Jewish garb, tottered slowly into
the room, and sinking into a chair, exclaimed
in deep toned accents,
Here"
Moved with horror ON seeing that he was
sold, the Medium took precipitate flight; and
1t took some time to assure the horror-strick-
en- spectators that it was a dare-de vii actor
who was before them, and that the simple
Quaker was his confederate.
