The Coming Campaign. ]

The Union County Convention. for
Sandusky county meets on Saturday,
June stb, for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the State Convention, which
meets on the 10Th. As the approach
ing campaign promises to be an exciting
and important one, we hope every town
ship in the county will be represented
upon the occasion, and that the party
viii, at an early hour, be aroused to the
greatness of the contest, and the i'm
portance of the issues involved. Next
year the presidential election takes place,
and the result this fall will do much to-
wards shaping that campaign and af-
fecting its results.
Another thing we should like to inn
press upon the Republicans of Sandusky
county, and that is, that it is just of as
much importance to work and organize
in those township where the democrats
are in the majority, as it is where we
have it. We know it is generally up
hill work to do anything in those dis
tricts where we are in the minority, but
it is of just as much Importance to get
out a full vote in Washington or Riley, as
it is to get it out in Townsend or Green
Springs. A vote is a. vote, and is of
Just as much importance in one place as
another.
1t is well known fact that upon the
State ticket, last fall, in this county, the
Democratic majority was reduced. This,
we believe, was substantial gain, and
we have reason and very good reason,
to expect a still larger gain this fall.
Let us by organization aud work, get
every Republican interested in the cause,
and we shall gain more. Such result
must come. School horses and church
es are not being built for nothing. Ed
ucate the people, and we shall have no
more Democratic party.
We again urge upon our friends
through the county to come up to the
work. Begin early, and success must
be the result of faithful and earnest
work.

T,he Samson and the Crops.

: The spring season of 1867 has been
more than usually cold, wet and back
ward. The predictions of weather
prophets are all at fault. Our steady,
cold winter has not been followed by
an early and favorable spring, as was
expected, but by exactly its opposite.
We have now entered upon the last
week in May, and yet comparatively
little corn has been planted; and what
has been planted is in danger of rot
ting. The recent heavy rains will stop
plowing on many farms for week or
ten days. From present appearances,
corn planting cannot be completed in
Ssndusky county before the middle or
2Oth of June. A favorable summer
and fall will be indispensable to enable
the corn crop to mature, for, as gem
eral thing, the planting will be done
one month later than usual.
The wheat fields of Sandusky county
promise an abundant yield A com
paratiyely small breadth of land how
ever was sown last fall, in consequence
of repeated disasters to the crop in for
mer years. Farmers who sowed but
little are now lamenting their mistake.
A larger amount of spring wheat
was sown in this county, perhaps, than
ever before in its history, and it prom
ises a good return. The necessity which
drove our farmers to take this step, may
yet prove a blessing to them. There
is no good reason why spring wheat
cannot be as successfully cultivated in
Northern Ohio as in other localities
having no better advantages of soil and
climate.
The prospect for fruit was never bet
ter; peaches, apples, cherries, and all
other fruits, will, in all probability, be
very abundant.

The Next President.

The Cleveland Leader, in thought
ful article of considerable length, can
vases the wants of the country at the
present time, and depicts the qualities
which should be possessed in large
degree by the next Union candidate for
the Chief Magistracy. Without pre-
maturity mentioning names, or drawing
comparisons between the score of dis
tinguished generals and prominent cit
izens who are regarded as probable
candidates, it evidently had in minds
eve, when it drew the portraiture, the
figure of the Chief Justice-SALMoN ?.
CHASE: s'He must be man who is firm
ssly grounded by education, association
" and habit, as well as conviction, in
"the fundamental doctrines of human
"freedom and equality; who is posses
"of personal integrity so unspotted
"that it may be the synonym for purl-
"ty everywhere; who has a knowledge
"of Jurisprudence that extends beyond

a dent; and who must have knowl.

A murderous aud bloody riot occurred in
Mobile, Ala, on the evening of the 18th inst,
while Judge Kelley, member of Congress
from Pennsylvania, was addressing Union
meeting held in the open air. The mob was
composed of rebels, and the affair was sim
liar to the New Orleans and Memphis riots,
in everything except that loss oflife was not
so great--owing to the presence of United
States troops The Judge had been speak
ing about quarter of an hour in frank
and temperate manner, when there appeared
to be disposition to create disturbance on
the outskirts of the meeting. Cries of "Put
him down" were heard, to which Mr.. Kelley
replied: Il tell you that you cannot put me
down. The Fifteenth Infantry are at my
back, and if they cannot keep the peace in
Mobile the United States Army can" The
tumult suddely broke out at this point by a
sudden rush toward the platform, and a scat
tering of the crowd. About hundred peo-
pie were on the platform, including many
eminent citizens, reporters of the local press
and correspondents. This rush seemed the
signal for the melee to commence. The
Chief of Police attempted to arrest ring
leader on the borders of the crowd, and he
drew pistol on him. The cry of "Firel'
was then raise at the corner of Royal street
and instantly perfect fusilade of pistols was
opened on the crowd who occupied the plat
form. Ina moment colored man fell,
being struck in the head. Again the cry Of
"Ob, GOdi" and a heavy fall announced that
dragged Judge Kelley from out of the range
of fire, and finally succeeded in getting him
away unharmed. For several minutes the
fire continued to be directed to the platform,
the occupants of which we're hastily making
their escape, while others endeavored to
protect themselves by getting behind the
table, which afforded little protection, as
those nearest the platform were evidently
firing under. One man was badly wounded
by shot thus aimed. The firing by this
time was directed right and left among the
crowd in the street who were flying in all di-
rections. There seemed to be no attempt on
the part of the police to arrest the violence,
or if there was it was Intellectual, for the
rebels had it their own way. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY precOncerted affair, and was prob
ably stimulated by incendiary articles in
the rebel press Tor the past few days. The
military was ordered out and stationed at
Judge Kelley's hotel and at other points to
preserve order. The number of persons
killed and wounded was considerable, how
many has not been stated. On the 10Th the
citizens held a meeting at which resolutions
were passed depiOring the Occurrence" as il

has it been possible for American readers TO
obtain any adequate idea of the richness and
beauty Of German prose romance. twill be |
an important era in our literary cultivation if |
the result of this experiment shall be to sup |
plant the poor translations of loose French !
novels, and the snobbish English novels, |
which have hitherto formed the bulk Of our
imported light literature. To person ac-
customed to the forced sensations of French
novels or the dull prolixity of their English
rivals, these natural and sparkling romances
of Miss Muhlbach can be commended as
most grateful and refreshing change. Her
subjects are new to most readers; her powers
of description are of the first order, and her
style is crystalline in its purity. The action
never drags, and the conversations never
weary. She is thoroughly informed upon
the minutest matters of the epochs and the
personages Of which she discourses; and we
feel that while we are being vastly enter
tained, we are also laying up stores of valu-
able information. But there is a golden
mean between the statistical accuracy o
history and the fres poetic play of the novel;
| which she is careful not to transcend. She
is, in truth, an historical novelist.
The five novels, published by the Apple
tons up to this date, deal chiefly with the
German courts of the last century, aud in
troduce long pageant of splendid historical
charaters, such as Joseph the Second, Freder-
ick the Great, Maria Theress, Queen Do
rother, Voltaire, and Rousseau. The fair
author winds easily through the mazes of
diplomacy, is isequally at home in cabinet
councils, and in queenly boudoirs, in con-
versaziones of pholosobhy, and has the small
gossip of society at her tongues end. Even
her battle scenes, trying to awoman's pen,
are good. 1t will be hard to find among the
ranks of authors of either sex, for the past
generation, any one so versatile as she, and
SO uniformly excellent through long series
of novels. She has already won high re-
putation in Germany, where distinction is
not easily achieved, and will not fail to gain
degree of popularity in this country, such
as has been accorded to but few foreign
novelists.
The novels under notice are entirely dis
tinct from each other forming each complete
aud rounded whole. Miss Muhlback, how
ever, contrives to introduce in each of them
the grand figure of that most singular and
rsmantic of sovereighs, Frederick the Great
His history is full of the very stuff of which
novels are made; and his temperance at in
terestiDg junctures in the course of her stor-
les is looked for with the keenest pleasure
The perfect mastery which the author pos
sesses over all the phases of the life of that
eccentric monarch, is proof of the fulness
and thoroughness of her information, and
will illustrates the remarkable variety of her
mental powers. a

full description of the topography, natural
productions, and general capabilities of the
country than has hitherto been given to the
public. L. Clarke Davis concludes the list
of articles by sketch of the leading comic
actors of New York, during the present gen.
