j INGENIOUS Swindle. :

The Alliance Monitor tells Il story Of
farmer in Paris township, Stark coun-
ty,9 Ohio. Some time since d stranger
stopped at his house, and was apparent
ly taken very sick. On his recovery he
informed his host that he had dreamed
three nights in succession. during his
illness, that a pot of money was buried
in a ravine, near the house, under Ger.
tain rock. The spot was exam med, and
n crock wis found containing 500 in
silver half dollars They divided tile
spoil between them The next day, as
the stranger was about to take his leave,
he complained to his benefactors Of the
inconvenience Of carrying SO much sill
yer, when an exchange was proposed,
the stranger receiving two hundred and
fifty dollars in greenbacksa for his share
of the coin, silver then being at a premi-
UNI of about fifty per cent. 1t was not
long after the departure Of his guest,
however, till mine host made a1other dis
covcry-his four hundred dollars IN sill
yer were lcounterfeit, and lie had thus
been ingeniously swindled ont of $3.50

CONDITION OF OUR NATIONAL BANKs.-The
exhibit of the condition of our National Banks,
published this morning, shows accurately the
state of their finances before the commence
nent of business on the morning of the lst of
April. The aggregate resources of the Banks
of New York amount to s377, 79O, 364 in Phi
ladelphia, to $78, ,O45, ,537; in Boston, to $127,-
6O4 1856. The circulation of those of our own
city reaches 81, ,0O6, $780, while the out-stand-
ing notes of the State Banks are reduced to
Sl35, ,OS5 The profits in our city is 81, 7O8, ,813,
an average of 1863, GOA month. From this
data we infer that most of the National Banks
are doing a thriving business.

ENJOYABLE, the music of the role having been
executed in the best possible style. and with
all the many requirements necessary TO sue
cessfully interpret such horid composition.
The "Una voce POGO ia" was particularly
wen given, and was greeted with WELL
deserved encore. 1t was, In truth, splendidly
sung, Madame Rosa seeming to sing It con
dnore and with evident qualification to her
self .'Il Baocio," which she introduced in the
second act was also charmingly rendered. and
with finish and brilliancy that made the per-
formance sparkle again. 1t was also enthusias-
ticaIly encored and in fact, all that Parepa was
called upon to do was accomplished with the
ease completeness, and grace Of the oonsum-
mate artist.
Ferrantis' "Flgaro' was an excellent per-
formance, both vocally and histrlonically. His
"Largo al Factotum" was highly relished by
the audience, and was sung and acted as only
finished artist of the buffo school could have
done IT.. His personation of the part was one
Of the best we have ever been treated TO, and
entities him to an exalted position as a buffo
singer. Brignoli's ronldnz1 was very artIstically
sung, and was warmly applauded, and In the
concerted music he was much better than
usual.
Susinrs doctor Bartolo" was a highly unc-
tous performance. and amused the audience
vastly. Susini is a wonderfully versatile artist
IL matters not what the character is-serious,
serio-comic, or comic-positive-he seems per-
fectly at home in each, and imparts to all, the
influence of his peculiar genius for the lyric
stage. "Don Bassilio" was acceptably done by
Sarti, and the orchestra was excellent, and was
very intelligently led by Signor Niccolao.
This evening Mozart's magnificent Don Gio.
vanni will be given, with Parepa, Madame
Strakosch Mad'lle Canissa, Brignoli Susini
Fortuna, and Ferranti in the cast and a most
complete and successful performance of the
work may very properly be anticipated.

STRKEs.-We regret to notice the preVa-
lence of "strikes" among the working classes.
The carpenters, slate roofers, iron men, and
coal miners with we do not know how, many
more trades, have recently struck for higher
wages. We deplore any such remedy. The
balance of supply and demand will secure a
lust remuneration to the laborer, and any
combinations, such as those attempted, only
provokes antagonism between labor and capital,
and looks like an attempt on the part OF
the former to secure extortion. Without any
such conflict we think that justice could be
secured

Nominations for the New York Consti-
tutiOnal COnVentiOn.

Nominations for the New York COnsti-
tutiOnal Convention.
AS our readers are aware the State Of New
York is about to elect delegates to Constitu-
tional Convention to revise her Constitution.
By the terms Of the law calling the Conven-
ton thirty of the delegates are to be elected
by general ticket throughout the State, only
sixteen of whom are to be voted for by any
one person. The object of this magnanimous
feature of the law, passed by Republican
Legislature, is to give each Of the two great
parties a chance to elect sixteen of their best
men to the Convention.
Nominating Conventions were held yester-
day by both parties-by the Republicans at
Syracuse, and by the Democrats at Albany
and their respective tickets put in the field.
The Republicans nominated Waldo Hutchins,
William Evarts, George Opdyke, A. J. R.
Duganne, George w. Curtis, Horace Greeley,
Joshua M. Van Cott Ira Harris. Erastus Cook.
Martin j. Townsend, William A. Wheeler.
Charles Andrews, Tracy Beadle, Charles ].
Folger, Erastus Crosser, and Augustus Frank.
This as a whole is an able ticket. Mr..
Evarts is the distinguished Republican law
yer of New York city, who was supported as
Stewards successor in the Senate at the time
when Ex-senator Harris was elected. George
W. Curtis is the accomplished editor of
Harper'S Weekly, and one of the finest political
writers and speakers in the country. Mr..
Greeley is known everywhere as the editor of
the Tribune. Judge Harris is an able lawyer,
of great judicial as well as political expert
ence. Charles J. Folger is at present one of
the leading members of the New York Senate,
and is an able and experienced legislator. The
presence of such men as these cannot fail to
exert q, happy influence upon the Convention.
Thef following resolution was unanimously
adopted by the Republican Convention.
"ReSolued, That the delegates to the coming
Constitutional Convention, this day appointe
be instructed to support, by every honorable
means, an amendment giving to the black man
the same rights of ballot as to the white man."
The Democratic Convention passed no reso-
lutions, and nominated the following ticket
Augustus Schell, George Law, Henry c.. Muir
ply, Homer A. Nelson, David L. Seymour,
Jacob w. Hardenburgh, Smith N. Weed,
Alonzo G. Paige, Francis Herman, George f.
Comstock, John Magee, Henry D. Basto, Isaac
Butts, H. C. Cheesebro, John g. Martin,
Marshall 3. Champlain.
There are some strong men on this ticket,
such as Judge Paige, Henry c. Murphy,
Francis Herman, John Magee, and Homer A.
Nelson, and they will make valuable members
of the proposed Convention.
That feature of the law which has secured
the presence of thirty-two of the ablest men of
both parties in the Convention, is worthy of
particular commendation, and may well be
followed as a precedent by other States
