CoUxrx CoNvsETIoS the proceedings
of this body, in another part Of the paper, it
will be seen, that its work was pretty thorough
ly, Il not In all cases judiciously done. The
change was sweeping, and not an old officer,
not even the County Clerk, who had served
but one term, was excepted. Tho spirit of
young America, and gratitude to the soldier,
prevented" the arguments Of prudence and
moderation urged by the old wheel horses of
the party. Our soldier friend Chapman, how
ever, was rather uncer enormously set aside, for
his younger comrade and townsman. This re-
suit was the effect Of good generalship, as
Chspman's show ofstrength, before going into
convention, had perhaps something to do with
the rather unexpected result. Though young
men, and OF course without the experience de-
sirabie for their somewhat important positions,
we have very favorable reports of their qualif-
cations such as little experience and acquaint-
ance will shape into competency and efficiency.
Mr.. Crowel, Of Geneva, who, will follow one
Of the best officers of the county, is young
man Of excellent abilities, and, some good busi-
ness training. Mr.. Lindsay, for the Clerkship,
and Mr.. Gushing, the nominee for the Probate
office, arc, we are assured, both very worthy
young men, and will not disappoint the reason

DRY GOODS,

Trade is dull yet, with a partial but
irregular action. The large increase of
stocks is causing some depression. Prints
show little more activity. Some styles
are reduced in price, however, and the
activity is below the average of the sea-
son. Brown shirtings and sheetings are
very dull and heavy. Bleached goods
are steady. Drills are in moderate de-
mand. Stripes are little more active
Denims are firm and in demand. Cling
hams of good styles are active, other
qualities depressed More is doing in
delaines. The stock is well assorted.
and desirable styles are being taken free
ly. Coburgs arc active, and the produc-
tion, being yet limited, is well disposed
OF Sbawls are moving; autumn STYLES
are attractive and prices firm. Broad
cloths are steady but are less active
Cassimeres and satinets are without
change; desirable styles alone are firm
Flannels and blankets are becoming ae-
tive Foreign fabrics are in good sup
ply. The demand is yet light, but there
Is brisk inquiry for particular goods,
such as delaines, merinos, and plaids OF
fine qualities. A limited business is al
so doing in silk, both black and colored.
Inferior goods are inactive, but are firm
iy held. British dressgoods are steady.
A few auction sales have taken place,
and attracted attention with fair results.
1t is yet too early for very active busi-
ness. Great preparation, however, is
made to meet the demand of the season
when it is fairly opened Heavy goods
advanced in price.

The PHLADELPmA CoNvESTIoS:-We have On
the day of going to press, two days proceedings
of this notorious conclave, and the most promi-
ent and noticeable part of the proceedings, Is
the stress brought to bear upon the Woods and
Vallandighems, to rid the convention of their
odium. The first parties left without much
strain. as Fernandos patriotism, in his own
words was too devoted to the objects of the
convention to allow his presence to disturb its
deliberations" But the man of the border, per-
sisted, until the second day, in holding his
place, arguing that he had been regularly elect
ed, and endorsed the doctrines set forth in the
call His friends from Ohio, sustained him, ss
his withdrawal was an implication upon them
who voted for him for governor, that they
could never consent tobear. Besides there were
those from the South, in the convention who
were petted and endorsed, who were known to
have been identified with the Rebellion. The
arguments were good, but their force could moi
be acknowledged or allowed. The objection
was not to the principles entertained by him.
but the unpopuIarity and odium that rested
upon him. Senator Doolittle is the chairman.

THE JUDaEsHIP.

The proceedings of the late Judiciai
Convention, given elsewhere, are attrac-
ting much attention, and arc the ground
of no inconsiderable amount of comment
and earnest criticism. There is no mis-
taking the tenor of thought. The feeling
of pain and modification in the public
mind, at the course of things in this mat
ter of naming candidate for the Com
mon Pleas Bench, is too palpsble and de-
basingly real. The undignifed, and, We
think we may say, disgracoful spectacle
presented, from the opening Of the cam
paign to it's elimination, seems very
properly calculated to have no other Of
feet than to bring the Judiciary into con-
tempt and derision. The marks of dis
appreciation are 80 strong and unequivo-
cal, that the belief IL warranted, that
moderate and thinking men, those who
have heretofore stood apart from the con.
test will not suffer the thing to go on to its
climax of degradation. We may not be
surprised, from the earnestness indicated,
therefore, to see movement ipaugurated
at once, that shall prove sufficiently gen.
cral and formidable, to set aside this
whole unfortunate and discreditable pro-
ceeding,-which shall rescue the office
from the contempt into which the mad
ness of the hour seems determined to
bring it, and make the tender of it to one
not before spoken of i'm that connection,
but whose legal attainments and opinions
have long since commanded the highest
respect of the public, as well as the Bench
and Bar When we say he is a citizen
of Ashtabula, we need hardly add that
the allusion is to none other than CHAs.
BooTH, Esq. His ability, his integrity,
& his unaffected s. manly independence,
point to him as the man for the occasion,
and such a result seems a necessity, due
alike to him, to the public, to the purity
and dignity of the Judiciary, and in an
especial manner, due to JUDGE CuAFFEE
himself, to save him from the dilemma
into which he seems so infatuatedly
determined TO cast himself
Before another paper is issued, we
trust that such steps will have been ia
ken, as will authorise us to formally
place the name of Mr.. BoorH at the
head of our columns, and by every pre-
-
a triumphant and fiattering election
