IL brood sows sold by A. j. Ryan to
Thos. Timmons at $2l.30 per head. 10 'o..r
/ do by A. j. Ryan to j. Huffman at
$25,25. ,.-. ~
The foregoing is but meager account
Of the sales actually made; but 1t is the
best we could obtain. There were many
auctioneers selling property at the same
time, each keeping his own account, so that
it was impossible for one man to make out
a report of the sales as they were made.
Several of the auctloneers-on In particu-
lar by whom the largest amount of stock
was sold-leftlthe grounds without leaving
any sort of memoranda of the property
sold. We hope some system viii be de-
yised, so that hereafter full and accurate
report ofthe sales may be made out.
The next stock sale will take place on
the grounds in this city on the first Thurs
doy in September. az KJ ~

It thus appears that Judge GREEN re-
ceived the votes of 38 delegates,
and that those SO delegates repre-
sented an aggregate of 5,s40 Democratic
voters lacking 65S of being two-thirds Of
the entire Democratic vote of the District.
In other words, he would have received a
majority of 10 votes had the basis of rep
resentation been on the vote given to Gem
eral Morgan last year for Governor. Asit
was he had q majority .of. 16. a4 lsiq7ss /.
What Is somewhat singular In this busi-
ness, sthat Mr.. SPARRow, who represented
the Third Ward in the Convention that
gave General MORGAN only l66 votes,
should have affected to have felt out
ragged because the basis of fepresention was
not made Democratic votes instead Of
Wards and Townships, while Col. BECK,
who represented the 9Th Ward, which gave
4s9 votes to General MORGAN, did not feel
outraged; and that Mr.. WRIGHT, who rep
resented Clinton township which gave
General MORGAN 2lOyotes, should pretend
to feel that injustice was done his Town
ship, while DIR. L, SMITH, Of Madison town
ship, which gave General MORGAN 800
votes, was as well satisfied as though he
had been empowered to cast four votes.
Inasmuch as the adoption Of the Demo-
cratic vote as a basis Of representation
would have given to Judge GREEN 8 MAJ
jority Of 10, It is inexpIicable that any del
egate should have suffered himself to be
led into the belief that any injustice was
done O him orr intended TO be done
him by refusing to adopt Mr..
WRraKTs y resolution. Under the
circumstance, the adoption Of that resolu-
ton could not have been Of avail 10 those

might have been a captain or not. |
